Hogwarts Mental Rehabilitation Center

Chapter 106: The new semester begins

Paradox is famous because it has no right answer, and any interpretation can be denied by the opposite interpretation.

Along the way, Travis and Voldemort chatted happily, and they were very happy and excited. They saw Harry, Hermione and Ron on the opposite side walking on thin ice with trepidation.

Ron was originally sitting next to Travis, but he was scared away after not holding on for 5 minutes.

It wasn't until the announcement was announced that the station was about to arrive that Travis closed his notebook with unfulfilled interest.

"Huh? Didn't you guys sleep for a while? You're in good spirits." Travis asked.

The three of them smiled awkwardly and said to themselves: How dare we sleep with your mental state just now as if you were having a mental illness? If you fall asleep, you might not be able to wake up!

After getting off the train with their luggage, no one came to pick them up this year, and they could no longer travel by water.

Following the same path they had taken at the end of last semester, the four of them pulled their suitcases and headed towards the main entrance of Hogwarts.

It was strange. Even though he had returned to Hogwarts, no one used magic. Travis was too embarrassed to use magic himself, so he had to drag his suitcase with him.

Fortunately, they arrived early and didn't need to worry about missing tonight's dinner.

Along the way, several people chatted and laughed and exchanged what interesting things they had done during the holidays. From time to time, classmates passing by would say hello to them, and they were very relaxed for a while.

Returning to the Gryffindor Tower of Hogwarts and entering his dormitory, there was a strange feeling of being reunited after an absence.

"It's back again."

Harry's gentle words made Travis couldn't help but nod.

A very simple sentence contains complex emotions that cannot be expressed in a thousand words.

In this special situation, a plain sentence can touch people's hearts more than those impassioned vows of eternal love.

"How many new students do you think will come to Gryffindor House this year?" Harry asked as he made the bed.

"It should be a little more than last year, right?" Travis said with some uncertainty.

Ron: "A little less than last year, I guess."

"Then I can only guess that it's the same as last year... What's the bet?" Harry asked.

Ron: "How was the week's homework?"

"Deal!" x2

……

…………

It’s another year’s welcome party. The difference is that last year they were still standing there being watched, but today they are sitting there watching others.

The students whispered to each other and glanced at the door from time to time, waiting for Professor McGonagall to bring the new students in, especially the freshmen from last year who were looking forward to it the most.

When new students come, they are at the bottom of the food chain.

After about five minutes, Principal Dumbledore led the professors to their seats, and Lockhart was among them.

Next to Lockhart is Professor Snape. Professor Snape seems to be in the same bad mood today as he was last year, especially looking at Lockhart with the same hostility as he looked at Quirrell last year.

But Lockhart didn't seem to notice, and even loudly shared his experience of becoming a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor with Snape - maybe because Snape was the only professor who always had his eyes on him.

"Hey, I bet Lockhart is not going to have an easy time this term." Ron gloated, gesturing to Travis and Harry to look at Snape's increasingly darker face.

In contrast to Snape's increasingly darker face, Lockhart spoke louder and louder, his face slowly flushed, and he looked very excited.

Because he found that more and more students were focusing their attention on him, but what he didn't know was that almost all of them were looking at the show.

Professor Snape's wish is no secret at Hogwarts, and now Lockhart is so arrogant - Travis has heard the excited Weasley twins discussing whether Snape will take action directly in the opening bet. How should the odds be determined?

In the end, Principal Dumbledore couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed and asked Lockhart to be quiet. Lockhart calmed down, but he still "provoked" the students and Snape with a smile.

Snape simply closed his eyes.

It was no fun to watch, so everyone had to wait quietly.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the door of the hall was opened by Mr. Filch from the inside, and Professor McGonagall strode in with a group of young wizards.

Ginny was in the freshman room. The little girl shyly lowered her head and walked forward without saying a word, only occasionally stealing a glance at Harry.

In addition to Ginny, there was also a unique person among the freshmen who caught Travis's attention - Luna.

Luna didn't seem timid at all, her face was calm, and her eyes were looking around with curiosity.

"Sure enough, Luna's appearance is still in line with my aesthetics... Qiu? Zhang or something... forget about the Eastern beauty in the eyes of Westerners!"

Travis really wanted to complain about Dongfangmei.

When Travis was wandering around the castle last year, he went to see Qiu Zhang. In good conscience, he was not ugly at all, but he was above average at best.

It's beautiful, but not very beautiful, far from stunning.

There are two reasons for this problem. First, the aesthetic preferences of white people and yellow people are different.

For example, white people generally believe that wheat-colored skin is good-looking, while yellow people have always regarded white as beautiful, and the whiter, the better.

Another reason is the inherent prejudice of modern Westerners against Easterners. In modern times, the East is weak and the West is strong. Westerners will inevitably look at Orientals with contempt. This subtle change in psychology will affect the situation to a certain extent. aesthetic.

For example, young women and girls.

The beauty of mature women may be a purely aesthetic difference, but for young women and girls, there is actually not much difference between East and West in terms of aesthetics - at least Easterners who find Westerners beautiful also find them beautiful.

But in reverse, when the skin color changes, the young women or girls that Easterners think are beautiful will be considered average by Westerners - but in fact, except for their skin color, their other beauty points are the same as those of Caucasian young women or girls.

"It's pretty good now, but in the future, the so-called high-end beauty created by those old monsters will just be pure vilification and blackening of Asians~"

Smacking his lips, Travis suddenly felt a little hungry.

But the sorting was not over yet, so he could only wait and wait for the dinner to begin.

It's still the same old routine. Whenever a new student joins his college, the old students in the corresponding college will applaud enthusiastically, and Travis is no exception - although he still doesn't understand the significance of this.

welcome?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a unified welcome after all the parts are finished?

Or is it purely to let them exercise before eating to increase their appetite?

The problem is that the food cooked by the house elves is not terrible!

"Is it because the food back then was so unpalatable that this tradition was left behind?"

Travis guessed "hungryly".

After waiting for another half an hour, the sorting was finally over. As expected, Ginny arrived at Gryffindor, the headquarters of the Weasley family, and Luna also went to Ravenclaw.

The moment the food appeared on the table, Travis started immediately.

Travis was really hungry.
