Chapter 17: Wizards Can’T Eat Chocolate Frogs
Everyone had a great time on this long journey, except for Fred and the poor Sniff.
To celebrate Gryffindor’s great victory over Slytherin (in Lee Jordan’s language), George decides to use some of the stolen money to buy snacks.
In William’s words: Mr. Wei will pay for the entire audience tonight!
Although the audience is limited to six people in the booth, one rabbit and one Sniff, and only some snacks are consumed.
Bobo tea is not included, it is very picky eater, almost only eats high-priced cat food and canned snacks bought by William.
People eat less delicately than a cat, and it is easy to have a psychological imbalance.
Qiu suggested again, “Just starve it for a few days!”
Bobo Cha squinted her eyes and stared coldly at Qiu’s little white rabbit, her paws popped out of her pads, and the girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, and immediately changed her mouth.
On the table were all sorts of Bibi Beans, Bubble Super Bubble Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pies, Pot Cakes, Licorice Wands, and some weird food items that William had never seen before.
Today, George was bleeding profusely, and he bought some of each.
After a while, the relationship between Qiu and the others was also much closer, which made Cedric extremely happy.
The joy of licking a dog is sometimes so simple and boring.
Fred handed William a chocolate frog, but the latter looked at the chocolate, hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t eat it.
As a magician, how can you rely on eating chocolate frogs to maintain your physical strength? Isn’t this a big death?
When Fred saw that William wouldn’t eat it, he took it apart by himself. After he opened it, he took out the picture.
The picture shows an old man wearing a round hat, black-rimmed glasses, and draped silver hair and beard. The name under the picture is: Nicole LeMay.
Through the back of the picture, William looked at the text on it: Nicole LeMay is now recognized as the greatest alchemist of all time.
His well-known contributions include: creating the only magic stone, creating the alchemy system from the Middle Ages to modern times, and driving the trend of using toads as pets, which will not decay for 600 years!

“Oh, it’s Nicole May, great, I’ve collected a complete set of pictures!” Fred announced excitedly.
A complete set of chocolate frog pictures, up to several hundred pieces, is generally difficult to collect, so it is expensive.
Fred did not like it very much when he collected these, but prepared to sell it to another wizard at a high price.
Seeing that Fred had collected all the pictures, George, Cedric, and Lee Jordan also joined the army of removing the chocolate frogs.
In the process of frantically eating frogs, time passed very fast, as if being swept away by a force in the dark, it didn’t take long before evening.
William glanced out of the car window. It was already dark, and there were mountains and woods under the deep purple sky, and the train slowed down.
“In five minutes, the train will arrive at Hogwarts. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to school.”
The voice echoed on the train, and everyone got up and rushed forward with the flow of people in the aisle.
The train slowed down and finally stopped. Pushing and shoving, the students rushed to the door and descended to a dark and small platform.
Then, a lamp shook above the students’ heads, and William heard a familiar voice shouting, “First-year freshman, first-year freshman here!”
On top of the crowded crowd, Hagrid’s five-meter height stood out.
He smiled and said, “Come on, come with me, are there any freshmen? Be careful of your feet, okay! Come with me.”
After separating from Cedric and the others, William and Qiu stumbled towards Hagrid.
Under Hagrid’s leadership, the first-year students broke away from the main group and went down a steep and narrow path, the ground was slippery, and there were all kinds of vines stumbling.
It was pitch black all around, and only Hagrid’s dim yellow oil lamp was guiding the way.
William sighed, Hogwarts is really backward, and it doesn’t have any street lights.
William raised his wand, waved it, and said in a low voice, “Sudden release of fluorescent light.”
A soft white light hung on the tip of the wand, and then, a sudden burst of light shot out like fireworks, illuminating the nearly fifty-meter path.
Hagrid’s rough laughter came from a distance: “Thank you, William, you know, I can’t use magic!”
Qiu stared at William’s face, as if he had just met him.
“You are actually able to cast magic?”
Before William was reading the second grade spell book, Qiu thought he was just pretending, but now it doesn’t seem like that…
William shrugged, “Isn’t it very simple?”
Eh, when these words came out, William was startled.
In his previous life, when he asked those esoteric math questions, the academic masters also smiled slightly, and said with care for the mentally retarded, “Isn’t this very simple?”
Merlin’s beard! William can actually say such words with peace of mind. Is this the realm of the legendary middle school bully?
But William soon regretted it. After he used his wand to release light, the first-year wizards seemed to have found their backbone and rushed towards him.
William once again experienced the crowded feeling of driving a car during the Spring Festival, and he roared: “Stop crowding… eh! Whose salty pig hand, don’t touch it!”
Hagrid shouted cheerfully, “Come around this corner, and you’ll see Hogwarts for the first time soon.”
Sure enough, after a loud astonishment, at the end of the narrow path, a black lake suddenly opened up.
On the high hillside on the other side of the lake, stands a majestic castle with many spires and windows twinkling under the stars.
“Each boat can’t have more than four people!” Hagrid pointed to a group of small boats moored on the shore, exhorting loudly, as if more than four people, the boat would sink. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
At this time, there was another push and shove, and everyone wanted to sit in the same boat with William.
This kind of small boat is not safe at first sight, and it has to cross a large lake. What if it falls down!
William knows magic, and staying on a boat with him at least feels a little bit safe.
“Line up!” Hagrid used his large body to block the human wall, motioning William and Qiu to get on the boat quickly.
After that, two little wizards were randomly selected from the crowd and thrown up, and the commotion gradually ceased.
“Are they all on board?” cried Hagrid, who was in a boat by himself.
“Then let’s go!”
A group of small boats began to move without wind, paddling across the mirror-like lake, and sailing forward.
Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle soaring into the sky.
As they approached the cliff where the castle stood, the castle seemed to rise above them.
“Head down!” Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliff.
Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy curtain that covered the front of the cliff to the hidden open entrance.
They walked along a dark tunnel and seemed to come to the underground of the castle, and finally reached a place similar to an underground pier, and then climbed to a ground of gravel and small pebbles.
Under the light of the Hagrid’s lantern, they climbed up a tunnel in the rock, and finally reached a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.
Everyone climbed a flight of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door.
Hagrid raised a huge fist and slammed the castle gate three times.
bang bang bang!
The door was opened, and a wizard came out.
