Chapter 11: Chocolate Frog

After 　　 travel, Hermione Granger has always been wary of Neville Longbottom.
　　 What she said suddenly became much less.
　　 It is Matthew, who has been talking happily with Neville.
　　 also "inquired" some news about the magical world from his mouth.
　　 It's a pity that Neville Longbottom is an eleven-year-old boy after all, and a lot of things are only half-knowledge.
　　 knows not too much information.
　　 While they were talking, the train had already left London. They galloped along the pasture full of cattle and sheep, and drove north.
　　 Around 12:30 noon, there was a sudden loud noise in the hallway outside the box.
　　 Then, a fat witch pushed a trolley and opened the door of the box. She asked, "My dear, do you need some snacks?"
　　 "Yes!" Neville suddenly felt energetic and took a bunch of snacks such as bibido beans, chocolate frogs, and crucible cakes directly from the cart.
　　 "How about you, dear?" The witch looked at Hermione and Matthew.
　　Hermione walked over with some hesitation: "Are these also free?"
　　 "Of course..." The witch nodded, "But don't be too wasteful."
　　……
　　 "Hogwarts is awesome!" A few minutes later, Hermione Granger commented, holding a licorice wand in his hand.
　　 "Hogwarts paid for our tuition, books and living expenses. Where did this money come from?" Matthew asked a little curiously while he took a bite of the pumpkin pie.
　　 "The school itself is very rich." Neville said to his mouth, "Not to mention the principal..."
　　 And Hermione's gaze turned to a pack of chocolate frogs: "This frog, will it move by itself?"
　　 "That's right." Neville nodded: "So you have to be careful, don't let it run away... Also, the pictures in it are also quite interesting, I'm close to the collection."
　　 Hermione opened the chocolate frog and took out the picture.
　　 "It's Morgan Le Fay (leFay)!" Looking at the image on the picture, she exclaimed: "I heard of her in the Muggle world!"
"That's her name in the Muggle world. In the wizarding world, she was called'Morganna ()'!" Neville seemed to have eaten a very bad Bibi Duo, and his face became weird: " She is probably the most powerful black wizard in British history. She is a witch who is contemporary with Merlin... This card is still quite rare, I suggest you keep it!"
　　 At the same time, Matthew also took apart a chocolate frog.
　　 His picture shows the face of an old man, a handsome old man, at least this face is very comfortable to look at. He had neat silver-white short hair and a mustache, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
　　The name under the picture is: Gellert Grindelwald.
　　 "It's Grindelwald!" Matthew said softly.
　　 "Don't tell me that you have never heard of Grindelwald, he is the greatest wizard of this century!" Neville said, "Even though his chocolate frog pictures, I already have eight."
　　 Matthew slowly turned the picture over and read the text on the back:
　　"Gellert Greenward, the current principal of Hogwarts
　　 is recognized as the greatest wizard of our time
　　 Greenward’s well-known contributions include:
　　 defeated Dumbledore the Dark Wizard in 1945
　　Promoting the reconstruction of the Ministry of Magic after the First Wizarding War
　　Discover eleven uses of fire dragon blood
　　The cooperation with Cassandra Trelawney is very effective in prophecy
　　Professor Grindelwald loves sweets and bocce games"
　　 Matthew quietly turned the picture to the front again, and saw Greenward on the picture smiling at him.
　　 For some reason, this smile made him shiver.
　　……
　　The next journey seemed rather boring.
　　Because Matthew had obviously become silent a lot, and Hermione was not willing to communicate too much with Neville.
　　 There were no other wizards in the carriage.
　　 Such a dull trip lasted about half a day.
　　 A voice suddenly began to echo on the train: "The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train while walking to the assembly."
　　 The train slowed down at the same time, and Matthew, Neville, and Hermione formed a small group, squeezed into the pushing crowd, and rushed to the door.
　　 They got on and off at a brightly lit platform, and the sign on the platform read: Hogsmeade.
　　 "First-year freshman, come to my side!" An old man holding a lamp with a prosthetic leg shouted from the side of the crowd.
　　 "This is Professor Kettleborn!" Neville explained to Matthew softly, "He is the professor of the conservation of magical animals at Hogwarts and the guard of the hunting grounds."
　　 A group of little guys squeezed in front of the old man. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 Matthew discovered that, except for his left arm, the other three limbs are made of magic prostheses.
　　 I counted the crowds, and after counting the crowds, Professor Keitelburn continued: "Very well, come with me! All the first-year freshmen come with me!"
　　 They did not take the main road where the main force was, but followed Professor Kettleborn to a steep and narrow trail.
　　 There is a mass of pitch black on both sides of the path, which looks a little gloomy.
　　As they arrived at the end of the path, a black moor appeared in front of them, and on the mountain on the other side of the lake, a towering castle stood there...
　　 The crowd began to cheer excitedly.
　　 is a row of boats moored by the lake.
　　 "There can be no more than four people on each boat!" Professor Keitelburn said loudly.
　　 Matthew, Neville, and Hermione took the lead in getting on the ship closest to them.
　　 The follow-up crowd also squeezed in.
　　 The two girls came to Matthew and their boat.
　　 "There is only one position, let's change another one, Daphne!" said the girl walking in front: "Not to mention that the Longbottom family are also on this ship."
　　 After speaking, she took the other girl's hand and left.
　　 Matthew couldn't help turning around and looking at Neville with some curiosity.
　　 "My parents... and her parents... had some conflicts..." Neville explained softly.
　　 Soon, the boat welcomed the last passenger
　　 A little spectacleed kid with a short stature, messy hair and head down.
　　 "Hello!" Hermione took the initiative to greet him.
　　 The thin boy just looked up at them timidly, and quickly lowered his head.
