In fact, children living in the magical world are usually very bored. The Weasley family's burrow is located in the hills and trees south of the The Weasleys' home, known as the Burrow, is located outside the village of Ottery St Catchpole which is situated alongside the River Otter in Devon, England, also near the home of the Lovegoods, the Diggorys and the Fawcetts.. However, most Muggles have not even discovered that here is a house there.
Diggory's house is the nearest, but still a few miles away.
Both parties can only ride a broomstick or other means to meet. In fact, the children of the four families have little to no contact.
Weasley's children rarely go to the village of Ottery-Saint Catchpole, let alone play with ordinary Muggles.
However, the twins said that their brother had a Muggle friend that was a pretty girl.
"Muggles are generally more difficult to get along with. They always think that we are weird people and usually can't go together, and... my home is far from the town."
Lee Jordan's situation is even worse. He is the only one in his family, so sometimes he doesn't have a playmate.
Albert is much better than them. He has a younger sister, a pile of books, and occasionally plays ball with others. However, he usually doesn't play with the group of little kids, because it's boring after all.
Although there are no real good friends, Albert is quite popular at school. After all, he has excellent grades and is very good in all aspects. He is also of a better speaking type, and also knows how to manage interpersonal relationships.
Albert asked three people that children in the wizarding world if they don't actually go to Muggle schools.
It's really hard to imagine that a family like Malfoy would let their children go to Muggle school?
Obviously not.
Of course, some wizards are exceptions.
However, the twins have never been there. Their initial knowledge is taught by family members.
"By the way, is there a family called Smith in the wizarding family?" Albert asked, his grandfather's original family was Smith. Later, he followed Muggle's relatives and changed their names casually.
It can be seen how much he hated the guy who abandoned him.
"Never heard of it, how about you George?" Fred looked at his twin brother.
"I haven't heard of it either." Li Jordan shook his head. "Something?"
"Nothing, I still don't know where I heard this surname." Albert moved his gaze out of the window,the visibility was low, and the sky gradually darkened.
In other words, he didn't even realize that Li Jordan was a talkative guy. This guy likes to talk non-stop and gossip.
The three of them aren't be bored, anyway, the cubicle is also very boring,so listening to him nagging things is like hypnosis.
Albert opened his eyes again, and he felt that the train seemed to slow down.
"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage in the car ,we will send it to the school for you." A voice echoed on the train through the loudspeaker.
"Merlin's beard we have finally arrived." Fred stretched out lazily, and he was not in good spirits after sitting on the train for too long.
George helped pack the snacks on the table and put them in Albert's suitcase.
The train finally stopped, and the four people walked out of the compartment, pushing each other along the train aisle, and rushing to the door one after another.
When they got off the car, it was really crowded. They descended to a dark and small platform, and the cold rain fell on the ground, and the chill of the night made Albert shiver.
"I hate rain." Albert murmured, took out his wand and said a spell on the peaked cap, "Impervius."(The waterproof spell)
"First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here!" A loud voice yelled from the platform. A Huge man lifted the oil lamp above the crowd and shook it to attract the attention of the freshmen.
"What are you doing, keep up." Fred reached out and gave him a hand.
"Wait a minute." Albert also said to the robe on his body that he was not invaded. He didn't know if the spell would work, but it was better than nothing.
"Hurry up, Albert." Lee Jordan urged.
"Don't worry, here you are , Lumos." Albert held his wand and walked towards Hagrid. He was really a tall man with a long beard and looked scary from a distance.
If you don't know him, and you actually see him first, he looks really scary.
"Are there any other first-year freshmen? If We are all here, let's set off!" Hagrid took them away from the platform, losing the shelter of the platform, and the cold rain hit them, causing the freshmen to get goose bumps all over.
"Be careful under your feet." Hagrid yelled, but it didn't help at all. Because of the rain, the trail was muddy and many people fell down several times.
Alberta pulled the peaked cap and gown on his body, wrapping himself tighter. Fortunately, the curse of waterpoofing played a role, and he did not turn into a wet mess like other people.
Why didn't I learn to use a magic wand to make an umbrella?
Albert was a little annoyed. He decided to take the time to learn this useful magic, so he won't have to worry about the rain without a umbrella.
"Are you okay?" In front of him, another hapless guy fell down.
"Thank you, this way is really choking." The girl who was lifted up said gratefully
"Let's go." Albert let go of the opponent's hand, using his wand to explore the way, walked forward slowly.
This is definitely the worst freshman group ever. Many people fell and were covered in mud.
He also heard Li Jordan, who was unwilling to fall, whispering insults. As had just been taken down by the people around him in the hustle and bustle.
Albert suddenly felt that it was a wise decision to stay behind, at least he was not taken down.
"Be careful, it's going downhill." Hagrid shouted in front. After he went down, he waited aside to avoid any students slipping while walking on this steep slope.
Facts proved that this was indeed a wise decision. Indeed, three hapless guys almost fell, but Hagrid caught them in time.
"Be careful, you will be at the lake soon."
After waiting for everyone to go downhill, Hagrid stepped forward again to lead the way. They bumped and turned around, finally reaching a black lake.
On the hillside across the lake, there stands a castle, that is Hogwarts Castle.
There are lights flickering on the windows of the castle, which is particularly conspicuous under the rain curtain of night.
"There can be no more than four people in each boat. Remember, no more than four people!" Hagrid pointed to the boat on the shore and shouted to the newcomer.
"Albert, here." One of the twins waved at him, and Lee Jordan was also here. They were all stained with mud and looked very embarrassed.
"How are you guys." Albert couldn't help being amused, and got into the boat.
"It's not good. I fell down once and was taken down twice."
"Get on the boat" Hagrid yelled. After holding the light to make sure that no one was overloaded, he took a boat by himself, "Very well, then... go ahead."
The boat is automatic without oars, and sails forward across the lake.
Albert raised his head and stared at the castle in front of him. There was an inexplicable excitement, 'Hogwarts, here I am'.
