There is silence in the cabin, while we wait to reach our destination I took a break from my precious time to appreciate the landscape that passes through the window as we continue on our journey

I take advantage of these moments of calm to think about myself and the future, Many times the way we act, the thoughts and plans about the future generate the obligation to walk constantly and we cannot take time to stop to look at the landscape by where our feet walk

While my gaze rested on the fields and meadows that passed through the window, I reflected on this subject

Maybe I should take things a little more calmly, I think I have become obsessed with the lust for power and this naturally leads me to make decisions that can generate problems, this can affect my sanity, or what little is left of it

I don't want to go back to Azkaban when I just started my path in magic, I must be more discreet in my way of acting currently I am going to start a school stage, I have 7 years to grow up without much interference from external factors, some wizard families may instruct their children to have problems with me, but honestly, if I can not deal with some children it would be somewhat disappointing

As time passed I decided to close my eyes to rest for a while, while I was in my seat I could hear a prefect approaching to warn us not to leave the cabin while the train was in motion, also a girl was located in our cabin, no I gave it a lot of importance and kept my eyes closed, although she introduced herself, I couldn't hear her name well

After a few hours we arrived at our destination, the darkness of the night accompanied our trip, when we got off the train Trakker was waiting for us, as he told us, he is the person who is in charge of taking care of the surroundings of the school

An adult man with a very peculiar appearance, his entire left arm is missing and he has an incredibly large scar all over his face and down to his chest, is what you can see

Easily the thickness of that scar exceeds 5cm, I am somewhat surprised, I have seen many wounds in my path but something of this level only appears in a few corpses, surely it was magic that managed to save his life

I wonder what happened to get those kinds of scars

While we waited for all the first-year students to gather at the train exit, Trakker gave us directions on what to do, he did it with his hoarse voice and sharp gaze.

"Children, the rules are simple"

"Most importantly, do not separate from the group if you do not want to get lost, there are many dangers around the school that can even cause a painful death"

"Do not ask me questions about anything, if there is something you need to know to get to school I will inform you if I do not say it it is because you do not need to know"

"And finally, follow the instructions that I give you to the letter, that's all"

After he spoke we all fell silent as we waited for the freshmen to finish exiting the train and to join us.

After about 10 minutes it seems that we are all there and Trakker tells us to follow him

We enter a stone path surrounded by a dense forest, it seems that there are creatures that inhabit it because I have the feeling that something is observing us.

It looks like a scene from a low-budget horror movie, some young students with their teacher go into a forest where there are evil creatures, very original

It would be interesting that what is observing us will attack to see how Trakker would react

more interesting how the school would react if a student died

but it seems that it will not happen for logical reasons

After walking for a while we reached a lake where there were many boats, it seems that we will cross in them

As I thought, Trakker gave us instructions to board 4 people in a boat to get to the other shore, it seems like a ritual or something.

He was also clear when warning us that we should not play with the water as it seems that monsters are living in the lake and they can kill you.

This is undoubtedly the perfect place to teach young wizards, where things are everywhere that can kill you and cause you great agony.

I love it, it's the perfect place ...

In our boat we were the same people that we met in the cabin of the train Filius and Mundungus, also the girl in the cabin, so we talked and I got to meet her

Her name is Nimue and as she told us she comes from Scotland, although she claims to be a descendant of an ancient English family of wizards who emigrated to that country many years ago.

After talking with her for a while, Filius and Mundungus got tired of being the ones who rowed across the entire lake, luckily we were able to reach the other shore before they changed my position.

When we got off the boats Trakker organized us and we continued our way to the castle, he showed us the forbidden forest and indicated that it was forbidden to go there.

makes sense

Although he also confessed that people who want to commit suicide are exempt from this prohibition since only death awaits inside.

I think that was a joke

I think

After walking for a while we reached the castle, the first thing I saw was a large stone bridge that goes over a huge cliff and that we had to cross to get to the castle

Soon we arrived at the entrance of the castle, in front of the door a woman was waiting for us while she watched us carefully, we got closer

"Thank you Trakker for bringing them, you can return to your duties" the woman spoke

"It's my pleasure, Mrs. Tori"

as trakker left, the woman continued to stare at us all in silence for a few seconds and then spoke

"Welcome young wizards, let me introduce myself before I start, some of you will already know me, my name is Tori Edevane, I am the Assistant Principal and today I am happy to receive you in the most important school in the magical world, in a few moments we will go to the dining room of the castle where the inauguration of the new school year will begin and where you will be selected in one of the 4 houses that there are, this will happen in a very old ritual "

While she was speaking I was observing her carefully, she seems a very normal witch, she does not have any traits that make her stand out, about 40 years old with brown hair down to a little below the shoulders and brown eyes

I imagine she must be a very powerful wizard since she is the assistant principal of the school

After she finished speaking, she led us to the dining room doors and asked us to wait in silence for a few moments outside while she entered.

After a few minutes of waiting, she came back and told us that we could enter, she told us to be silent and follow her.

When the doors of the living room were opened, what I could see were 4 very long tables where many young people were gathered, I imagine it would be a table for each house

there was also the main table at the end of the dining room, where those who will surely be the teachers and the principal are

between his table and that of the students there is a chair and on top of it a very strange hat

when we approached the chair the hat began to speak or rather to sing

So try me and I'll tell you

Where you should be

You can belong to Gryffindor

Where the brave dwell.

His boldness, mettle and chivalry

They put the Gryffindors aside.

You can belong to Hufflepuff,

Where they are fair and loyal.

Those persevering Hufflepuffs

They really aren't afraid of heavy lifting.

Or maybe ancient Ravenclaw wisdom,

If you have a willing mind,

Because those of intelligence and erudition

They will always find their fellow men there.

Or maybe in Slytherin

You will make your true friends.

These cunning people use any means

To achieve its ends.

So give me a try! Do not be afraid!

After the hat had finished singing, the person who was sitting in the main seat of the teachers' table got up and began to speak, it is an elderly man with a hat, long hair and a white beard like the snow.

"Welcome to the new Hogwarts students, I am the principal Armando Dippet and I am pleased to have new blood that runs through our corridors, I hope that in the next 7 years you will learn what is necessary for you to become great and powerful wizards and be able to leave the name of our school in front of the world, without more than telling them to start the selection "
