Chapter:5

"Solim,, I can't find it, I can't find it anywhere. Neville's swollen eyes looked like he had been punched by a troll.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to see your toad right away, can you stop crying?" Solim took Hermione and Neville and picked a random boat to sit on, "Besides, what's so good about that toad, if you want a pet, I'll give you an owl later." "

When all the young wizards were on board, the boats began to slowly move on their own, heading towards the castle. Hermione and Solim sat on one end and Neville on the other.

Looking at the magnificent castle in the distance, even Solim couldn't help but whistle - yes, it's Hogwarts' exclusive BGM.

"Ah, that's Hogwarts Castle, I've read in books, the ceiling of the castle auditorium is ." Hermione sat next to Solim and began to babble like an old lady.

"Alright, Hermione, don't say a word, but did you really decide to go to Gryffindor? I think Ravenclaw is a better fit for you". Solim quickly interrupted Hermione's tirade.

"Well, why do you say that?" Hermione turned to look at Solim, her brow furrowed and confused, "How do you know Ravenclaw is right for me?"

"Well, I'll tell you something you won't tell you in the books you read". Solim thought it would be better to say it to himself than to listen to Hermione there.

Gryffindor symbolizes courage, Slytherin symbolizes talent, Ravenclaw symbolizes wisdom, and Hufflepuff symbolizes loyalty. This is stated in A History of Hogwarts. Well, this can't be wrong, it's just that there are some things in the book that are not easy to write too straightforwardly. Hermione doesn't know, doesn't Solim know either?

Gryffindor is full of mischievous imps, and there's always a lot of noise in the common room, so you don't want to take a good look at your homework there. Of course, if you're completely resistant to outside interference, then I don't say it. Compared to Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin are much better, the students of these two houses are relatively mature, and the environment is also suitable for quiet reading.

Ravenclaw has its own library, which is not as large as the Hogwarts library, but the books in the Ravenclaw library are all left by the Lady Ravenclaw. Although there is no library in Slytherin, there are plenty of empty and hidden classrooms around the area where the Slytherin common room is located. This suits Solim well.

He didn't want to finish potions or spells before he could go back to his warm bed after walking through most of the castle. You know, the professors will know if the students are in their beds after the lights go out. Although Hufflepuff is also underground, and the kitchen is next to the lounge, the Hufflepuff badgers ... Well, all I can say is that they are all very friendly.

"So you see, Hermione, I've got a general idea of you over the course of this time. Do you think you'll fit in with the Gryffindor atmosphere? Do you think you'll fit in with a group of young wizards who equate recklessness with courage and love to wander through the night and get into trouble?"

Do you think you can ignore that, not to mention..." Solim smiled at Hermione, "And Potions class, trust me, Professor Snape doesn't have a crush on all Gryffindors, he'll take every opportunity to find Gryffindors." If you do go to Gryffindor, you'll have to deal with it. With that, Solim turned his head to look at Neville.

"Speaking of Professor Snape, Neville, I told you to prepare for Potions class, did you prepare?"

Neville looked stunned, and it was only when he heard Solim's words that he remembered that he had forgotten something. "Uh, me, I forgot". Neville was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help it, who told him to have a forgetful brain.

"Then I advise you to hurry up, Friday morning is two consecutive Potions lessons, come and ask me if you have any questions".

Solim looked at Hermione again, "Of course, if you both go to Gryffindor, I think Hermione will be willing to help you, right?"

"Yes, I'll help you, Neville. Hermione was obviously still thinking about what Solim had just said to her, and didn't react for a moment. After a moment's hesitation, Hermione told Solim about the savior she had met while helping Neville find the toad on the train.

"Oh, so you met the famous 'Savior' and that Weasley freckled kid ".Solim saw Hermione reach out and scratch the freckles on her face.

"Isn't it disappointing?" Solim stood up-they were there.

"It's not that I'm disappointed, it's just that I think-" Before Hermione could finish her words, she heard a "pop" behind her.

Solim quickly turned around to see what had happened. He and Hermione disembarked - the bow of the two of them was close to the shore, and the hapless Neville had barely able to get to his feet before the ship was overturned by his weight.

"Oh my God, really. Solim hurried over to the water and dragged Neville ashore, "Be careful." Feeling his waterlogged shoes and his obviously much heavier robe, and looking at the soaking fat man, Solim simply took out his wand and dried the two of them.

"Alright, first-year students!, all here!" a large figure beckoned to the young wizards not far away.

"Alright Neville, let's go. Feeling his feet dry again and his much lighter robes, Solim beckoned them to go, "What do you think?" Hermione, you continued. "

Looking at Neville, who had become dry again, he thought about his previous appearance as a chicken in soup. Hermione thought magic was so handy. Although Hermione is a young wizard from an ordinary family, and her understanding of the wizarding world is very narrow and one-sided, it does not mean that she does not have the most basic judgment. Hermione could be sure that this young wizard of Solim's age was definitely the best of the entire first-year students.
