Hoffa's expression froze, and his body was petrified. This person was simply poisonous.
He took a deep breath and silently put the chocolate frog away. His originally excited heart that wanted to eat food was messed up by this girl. In his two lives, he had never seen such an arrogant person. She was even more arrogant than Dracula Malfoy.
"I think you'll probably be assigned to Slytherin," Hoffa said calmly.
As he spoke, he kept the snacks in his pocket. He didn't want to stay in this carriage anymore.
"How is that possible!" The girl sneered. "How can an eagle soaring in the sky be associated with a snake underground?" The owl on her shoulder screeched proudly.
The girl: "I can only enter one academy. That's the academy with the least number of people in Hogwarts. It's also a place where smart people should stay …"
"As long as you're happy."
Hoffa put all the food in his pocket. Then he walked to the door without looking back. He opened the door, closed the door, and left.
Hoffa didn't want to listen to her. He didn't know which academy he would enter, but he already knew which one he didn't want to go to the most. He didn't want to go to any academy that this girl went to.
After leaving his carriage, Hoffa ate snacks and wandered through the corridor. In the room, all kinds of children were talking and laughing, promoting each other's friendship.
When he passed by a section of the Slytherin carriage, Hoffa saw Tom Riddle leaning against the seat and chatting with others. Without mentioning anything else, this guy's charisma was not to be underestimated. His old clothes couldn't hide his leadership aura at all.
Hoffa was a bit resentful. Speaking of which, he didn't even find a single friend in Hogwarts.
It was normal. He wasn't born in a wizard family, nor was he a famous savior like Harry. He also wasn't as handsome as Tom Riddle. Of course, he could only be a little transparent.
After wandering around for half an hour, he was a bit embarrassed.
As they were about to arrive at Hogwarts, everyone pulled the curtains of the carriages and started to change into their school robes.
Hoffa looked at his jeans and T-shirt, thinking that he couldn't possibly take off his clothes in the corridor.
As for going back to exchange, that was impossible. Hoffa didn't want to see the silver-haired girl's face.
Thus, Hoffa jogged along the corridor, trying to find an empty carriage. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable carriage. Because it was either a girl's carriage, they had to avoid arousing suspicion. Otherwise, it would be crowded in a crowded carriage.
Hoffa ran from the back of the car to the front.
Only then did he realize that there was only one suitable person in the carriage. A girl in a black robe was sitting quietly in the carriage, reading a book.
Although it was also a girl, there was only one. Hoffa, who was pressed for time, couldn't be picky.
Hoffa knocked on the glass door.
The girl raised her head and looked at him calmly.
She was a very gentle-looking girl. She wore round glasses, had fair skin, short black hair, gray pupils, and a slender figure.
Hoffa raised the school robe in his hand apologetically. The girl understood. She closed the book, got up, and opened the door.
Hoffa got into the carriage and said with a smile, "Sorry, the other carriages are full. I don't have a place to change. Can I borrow your carriage?"
The girl nodded. "Change, we're almost there."
As he spoke, he helped Hoffa pull up the curtain. He got up and walked out of the carriage, leaning his back against the door.
Huo Fa hurriedly changed his clothes. After changing, he opened the door. "Okay, thank you."
The black-haired girl nodded, sat in the carriage, and continued to read. She didn't intend to talk much.
The carriage was filled with a faint floral fragrance. Hoffa felt that it might be her body fragrance. There was only the sound of pages flipping in his ears.
After a moment of silence.
Hoffa was a little curious, so he asked, "The other carriages are full, but why are you sitting alone in the carriage?"
The girl: "Because I'm reading, and they don't want to disturb me."
Hoffa looked down and saw "War and Peace" written on the yellow cover. Hoffa was familiar with that book.
"Do you read War and Peace muggles' books too?" Hoffa asked.
"Of course." The girl looked up at Hoffa slightly, as if unwilling to continue the topic. She turned a page and asked, "Are you a freshman too?"
"Yes."
Hoffa stretched out his hand. "Hoffa, Hoffa, Bach."
The girl nodded and stretched out her hand. "Miranda, Ghoshak."
Hoffa felt a little strange. Ghoshak?
Just now, the proud silver-haired girl said something about "Mille, Ghoshak" to him.
So Hoffa asked, "Do you have a brother named Mille?"
The girl looked up, pushed her glasses, and smiled gently. "Sorry, I've never heard of this person."
"Oh."
Hoffa muttered and didn't care.
To be honest, he had almost forgotten about the arrogant girl.
The black-haired girl pulled out her hand and waved her wand casually.
The clothes that Huo Fa had taken off were all neatly stacked together, like pieces of tofu.
After she was done, she put the book back in the box and said to Hoffa, "Don't bring anything, someone will help us get it."
Miranda looked as gentle as jade from beginning to end. She wasn't in a hurry, nor did she show off. This kind of person was suitable to be friends.
In the last few minutes of the train, Hoffa and Miranda casually chatted for a while. The topic that new students talked about the most was the school. However, Miranda didn't seem to care about which school she went to.
"Actually, other than the location of the rest rooms, everything else is actually the same. The curriculum is also the same." Miranda said.
Hoffa curiously asked, "You seem to know a lot about Hogwarts."
Miranda smiled and said, "Someone in my family works here. I came to Hogwarts when I was three."
Hoffa felt that the surname Ghoshak was somewhat familiar.
He quickly reached into his pocket, and sure enough, he saw Adebay- Ghoshak's signature on his admission notice. He was the vice-principal.
"Vice-principal, Adebay- Ghoshak, he's your …"
"He's my grandfather." Miranda sighed. "Excuse me, can we not talk about this?"
Ten minutes later, the sky outside was completely dark. The train slowly stopped at a dark and small platform.
The young passengers pushed and shoved as they rushed to the door.
Hoffa and the golden thigh he just met walked down the train. The cold night air made him shiver. Old lanterns swayed above the students' heads. He thought that he would see Hagrid here, but he didn't.
There was an old one-eyed hunter riding on horseback. He turned his horse's head and shouted in a domineering tone.
"First year, come with me!"
This must be the hunting ground guard. Hoffa sighed. It was probably Hagrid's previous hunting ground guard.
As for Hagrid, he was probably just nine years old. It would be two years before he could enter school.
They passed through a dark forest path.
The one-eyed warden of the hunting ground brought a group of chattering children to the dark lakeside. Small wooden boats were parked by the lake.
On the other side of the lake, on a high hill stood a majestic castle. The castle had many spires and windows that twinkled under the starry sky.
At this time, Hogwarts was almost exactly the same as described in the original book except for the people.
The System.
Ding!

Surprisingly, Hoffa didn't pay attention to the System's prompt. He looked at the castle and felt excited. It felt like a dream come true.
The hunting ground guard jumped off the horse, picked up the bow and the oil lamp. He shouted, "Four people to a boat, don't fight."
The children boarded the boat noisily.
Miranda sat beside Huo Fa, and the two unfamiliar students sat opposite Huo Fa, chatting and laughing. He breathed a sigh of relief. That silver-haired girl didn't follow them, which was better than any news he had.
The crowd sat down and the boat moved on its own in the dark lake.
The children next to them pointed at the scenery around them, most of them were very excited.
Hoffa put his hand into the cold lake water.
The sound of the water made him feel very comfortable.
Suddenly, his finger tingled slightly. When he raised his hand to look, Hoffa was startled.
It was a small mermaid curled around his finger. It had the appearance of Thumbelina, but the lower half of its body was a fish tail. When it was discovered, the little mermaid sprayed a stream of water at his face.
Hoffa quickly put his hand back into the dark lake. The mermaid left his finger.
Miranda smiled. "Scottish lake monsters, magical creatures. When they grow up, they can become as big as a human. There are many here."
Hoffa curled his lips and didn't put his hand into the lake again.
As they got closer to the castle, everyone held their breath. There was only the sound of water in the air. They passed through several bridges that were covered with thick ivy. Along a dark tunnel, they seemed to come to the bottom of the castle. Finally, they reached a place similar to an underground pier. Then they climbed up a ground of gravel and small pebbles.
They came to the other side of the lake, at the foot of Hogwarts.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the school was much bigger than he imagined. The dark walls stretched on endlessly, and the towers at the highest point seemed to be almost inserted into the clouds.
Walking to the door, Hoffa found something different. Because he remembered that in the original book, the gate of the castle was an oak door, but the gate he saw now was all engraved with black metal, with all kinds of strange patterns and words engraved on it. It looked very ancient and solemn.
Did some unknown changes happen in the past half a century? Hoffa touched his chin and thought to himself.
The gate opened automatically, revealing a luxurious marble staircase. A group of people filed in.
The one-eyed old man dismounted at the door of the staircase and followed the new students.
He reached out to stop the new students in the hall and said, "Wait here, don't talk."
But his words had no effect. A group of children gathered together, how could they not talk?
Everyone was whispering to each other, laughing and joking.
