The setting sun gradually sank below the horizon, and with the appearance of dots of starlight, the speed of the Hogwarts Express began to slowly slow down, and finally stopped.

Snape had already woken up the sleeping Lily and asked her to change into her school uniform, so he was not in such a hurry as some students.

"First-year freshmen, first-year freshmen, come here!" A deep and sonorous voice sounded in front, Snape looked forward, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, what's that?" Lily was not as calm as Snape, and couldn't help exclaiming as she looked at the huge hazy shadow.

"That's Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts, who is said to have the blood of a giant." Snape explained to Lily in a low voice, "Now it seems that the rumor may be true."

"It's amazing!" Lily didn't look scared, but curious and excited.

"First years, come here!" Hagrid yelled, "Let me see!"

As he spoke, he raised the kerosene lamp in his hand a little higher, held a large piece of parchment in his hand, looked at the students, looked at the parchment, and muttered in a low voice: "One, two ,three......"

It should be sure, Hagrid stuffed the roll of parchment in his hand into his moleskin coat, and shouted loudly: "Freshmen, come with me." lead the way.

The students quickly followed.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and there was no moon in the night. Except for the kerosene lamp in Hagrid's hand, there was no light on the whole road. In addition, this road was a dirt road with holes. It is not so easy to walk.

Seeing this group of people walking crookedly, and from time to time, some people almost tripped over and were supported by those around them, Lily held onto Snape's little hand even tighter.

"It's okay, don't be afraid!" Snape felt the little girl's nervousness, and comforted softly, "This is just the road that the four founders of Hogwarts have traveled before, and we are repeating their glory."

"I'm not afraid!" said the little girl, "I'm just afraid that you'll fall." Snape only smiled slightly, but didn't answer.

After walking for a while, the surrounding vegetation became more and more, making the surrounding light even less, Lily couldn't help getting closer to Snape.

Snape naturally understood why Lily did this. After thinking about it, he decided not to hide his clumsiness. He pulled out his wand and muttered: "Luminescence!"

Suddenly, a soft ball of light appeared on the tip of the wand, floating there quietly.

"I think we're wizards, aren't we?" Snape joked to the surprised Lily.

"That's great, Sev!" Lily said happily, then pulled out her own wand, and cast a Luminescent Charm in the same way.

The students around were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that they all took out their wands. For a while, there was the sound of chanting incantations, and one after another light balls appeared around, instantly driving away the darkness in front of them.

Although, not every student can learn and use magic before school starts, but it doesn't need so many, and now these are enough.

With the illumination of a large area of ​​fluorescent spells, the students could see the road clearly, and the speed of progress was much faster, and they walked through this tree-lined path in a short while.

Hagrid saw this scene, nodded slightly to Snape, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but with his bushy beard, and the night was also very thick, Snape didn't see it clearly, just looked at it. It was Hagrid's nod, so he also nodded, which was counted as a response.

------------

"Four people to a boat, come on board." Hagrid stood beside a lake and reminded loudly, "Remember, there are no more than four people on each boat!"

Except for Snape and Lily, the other students squeezed in, but they were all quite obedient. There were only four people in each boat.

All the students went up, only Snape, Lily, and a girl who looked a little weak were left.

"Let's go, let's go up too!" Snape said, and then pulled Lily onto a boat, and the girl followed.

After Hagrid saw that all the students were coming up, he took out a pink umbrella and tapped lightly on each boat, and all the boats drove forward automatically.

Is this Hagrid's wand?Snape looked at Hagrid's pink umbrella with great interest. It is said that this wand was restored by Dumbledore. In the original book, the Elder Wand only restored two wands, and this is one of them ?

Hagrid seemed to have noticed Snape's gaze, and couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the umbrella. Then Snape looked away and chatted with Lily in a low voice.

After traveling for a while, the boats came to the bottom of an arch bridge, only to hear Hagrid shout loudly: "Low your head!" Many students lowered their heads subconsciously, and some students did not move.

The students who lowered their heads felt something was wrong, and quickly raised their heads up. Only then did they realize that there was only one person at this height who needed to lower their heads, and that was Hagrid.

The bridge hole is not too long, and soon, the boats came out from under the bridge, and then they heard sighs all over their faces.

"Wow!" xn

Snape's eyes lit up too.

I saw an ancient castle standing on the high slope in the distance. Under the reflection of the starry sky, the castle looked mysterious and full of classical beauty. Under the little stars, there was a feeling of being in a fairy-tale world.

"It's so beautiful..." Lily couldn't help sighing, her big eyes were full of obsession with the scene in front of her.

"It's really beautiful!" Snape nodded in agreement, "If nothing else happens, this should be the castle of Hogwarts, and it's also where we will live and study."

"En!" Lily nodded fiercely, her big eyes were full of longing for the future, and there was also a hint of excitement and a bit of panic.

"I'll take good care of you!" Snape rubbed her little head and said softly, "So, don't worry!"

"Thank you, I will!" Lily nodded, the panic in her eyes disappeared, she stretched out her arms, and gave Snape a big hug.

The boat docked quickly, and the students came down one after another. Hagrid took out the parchment again, checked the number of people, and waved his hand, leading the students into the gate of Hogwarts .

Hogwarts oh...

Snape looked at the castle in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind. He just felt that his heart became messy in an instant, and his eyes became complicated...
