MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 6 Hogwarts on a carriage

  Chapter 6 6. Hogwarts on the carriage

  The complexity in Jon's heart cannot be described in words.

   Facing this familiar yet unfamiliar world, what can bring him the most sense of security is to hear the information of the protagonist group in the original story.

  But now that Lily, who should have sacrificed to protect her son, is about to lead him into Hogwarts, then Harry Potter, the prophesied savior, is likely to be in danger.

   Now we got the news that Hermione Granger was brought into Hogwarts, which Lily said was called "Taming Ground".

  The three little ones in the original book can be said to be completely fragmented, and Voldemort's dark forces are countless times stronger than in the story.

   This made Jon fantasize at first that the protagonist of Destiny is still there, and that the world still has a sense of security, but it was completely shattered.

  His mood sank to the bottom like the sun that was setting in the west.

  The sky gradually became completely dark. On both sides of the road, dim street lights were lit, illuminating the secluded road.

   Lily suddenly stood up from the bench, she let go of the hand that was holding the wand hidden in her trouser pocket, and took out a silver thing that looked like a lighter from her coat pocket.

  She pressed the button on the lighter, and the next moment, all the street lights on both sides of the road went out.

   Tonight's night is very dark, and after the light source disappears, the surroundings are completely plunged into darkness.

   When Lily took out the lighter, Jon also stood up, his arm was held by Lily, and it didn't take long before he heard a vague sound of horseshoes in the darkness.

   "Hogwarts is here."

  The house with bright lights in the distant windows, as if it came to life, suddenly jumped to the side, and then jumped back to its original position, as if making way for something.

   The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, almost right next to his ears, and soon in the darkness, Jon vaguely saw a huge carriage!

The carriage was about the same size as the safe house he saw during the day, it was two to three meters high and five or six meters long, but the strange thing was that there was no shadow of a horse in front of the carriage, as if there were no creatures at all. Pull it, but the clear sound of hooves is so real.

  The horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of Jon and Lily, and there was a person sitting in front of the carriage.

  It was an extremely tall and stout man, and the proportions in this carriage that looked like a small house were so harmonious.

   He held two reins connected to the air in front of him. In the dark night, Jon couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt the caring gaze looking towards him.

   "Hello, child, this is the first time we meet. I am the driver of Hogwarts. You can call me Hagrid."

   Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper and keykeeper of Hogwarts Castle in the original book, is a half-breed giant, but at the same time he is also a kind and gentle man.

  Information about Hagrid came to Jon's mind, and he didn't forget to introduce himself.

   "Hi Hagrid, my name is Jon Green."

   "Ah, good to meet you Jon, and good to see you safe and well Lily."

   "Thank you Hagrid, but this is not a safe place, I will take him up there." Lily said softly.

  Hagrid raised the reins happily.

   "Go quickly, Professor McGonagall has already brought a child back in the afternoon. Dumbledore told me a good place, and we will hold a welcome dinner there later!"

  Lily led Jon to the rear of the carriage, then she pulled out her wand and tapped it on the wooden railing beside the carriage, and a wooden ladder extended down from above.

  Jon followed Lily, stepped up the stairs with her and opened the curtain, and walked into this carriage called Hogwarts.

  As soon as they got into the carriage, they were in a wide hall.

   Based on the space here alone, it cannot be accommodated by a carriage that is only the size of a small house on the outside. It must be some kind of magic that can expand the space inside.

  In the foyer, an elderly witch with a straight back, wearing a dark green robe, curly black hair tied into a high bun, and square eyes on her face was standing here to welcome them.

   "Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry, I only brought back one child."

  After seeing the older witch, Lily stepped forward and hugged her lightly, and said guiltily at the same time.

  Professor McGonagall's serious and rigid face softened a lot, and she patted Lily's back with her hand.

   "Don't say these words, as long as you can come back safely. You go to rest first, there will be a dinner later, leave this child to me."

   Lily nodded, handed Jon over to him, and then left from the hall.

   After sending Lily away, Professor McGonagall turned serious again and looked at Jon.

"Mr. Green, I'm Minerva McGonagall, the vice-principal of Hogwarts and also your professor of transfiguration and herbal medicine. I believe that when Lily brought you here, she has already completed the preliminary enrollment for you. Guide. Next, you have to come with me, and I will take you to join other freshmen, and then go to collect your wands."

  Jon is no stranger to this Hogwarts vice-principal, who has written a lot in the original book, but after hearing Professor McGonagall's self-introduction, he was obviously taken aback for a moment.

  Professor McGonagall noticed his strangeness and asked with a slight frown.

"Do you have any question?"

  Jon took a deep breath and shook his head.

   "I have no problem, professor, just a little nervous about being here for the first time."

  Professor McGonagall looked at him, his serious face softened a lot.

   "The unfamiliar environment is indeed difficult to adapt to at first, Green, but the professors and students at Hogwarts are easy to get along with. Maybe no one likes the life in exile, but you will make friends here."

  Jon nodded seriously, and then followed Professor McGonagall towards the corridor behind the foyer.

  In fact, he was still thinking about a job that Professor McGonagall said just now that she held a part-time job.

  Professor of herbal medicine.

   Walking out of the foyer, after walking a few meters along the corridor, Professor McGonagall pushed open a door on her left and walked in with Jon.

  After they entered the door, in the room behind the door, four pairs of eyes looked at them in unison.

These are children about the same age as Jon, three boys and one girl, sitting on the bench in the middle of the room, they didn't look honest before they entered the door, they were whispering to each other. Immediately, she became well-behaved and sat upright.

  Professor McGonagall glanced at these children with sharp eyes, and at the same time motioned Jon to sit on the last empty bench.

   "You wait here first, and I will take you to get your wand later."
