On the busy train platform, a boy wearing a slightly worn but clean clothes looked at the crowd coming and going, carefully walking back and forth between the ninth and tenth platforms, as if looking for something.

But after searching for a while, the boy couldn't find it. He began to feel a little anxious. Just when he was a little unaware of what to do, a very lively voice came from the side.

"Okay! I will remember to write a letter to you every week, remember to have a good meal, remember to remember…"

"I hope you don't forget." A middle-aged man sighed, touched the girl's head, then turned to look at the boy, and smiled: "Hogwarts' freshman?"

"Yes, sir, I am Tom Riddle, a freshman in Hogwarts. Now I want to go to the nine-and-three-quarter platform. But I don't know where that platform is?" The boy named Tom said embarrassedly. His handsome appearance and good attitude give people a feeling of being well-behaved and can arouse others' favor.

"What a cute child, you can call me Mr. Prince." The man smiled and said, "As for your problem, this is normal. The platform has been imposed with powerful magic recently. In the past, you little wizards could still find the right place with their sense of magic elements. Now it's not possible. If no one guides me, I can't find it! Just wait, you follow me!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Prince!" Tom replied happily, and then he was stunned to see the father and daughter rushing into a pillar.

Tom was stunned for a while, finally gritted his teeth, pushed the car full of his luggage and rushed to a pillar between the two platforms. As soon as he approached the wall, Tom could not help but show a nervous expression on his calm face and could not help but close his eyes.

But the expected collision did not happen. He continued to push the cart forward. When he opened his eyes, he saw an iron steam locomotive parked next to the platform full of passengers. The sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.

"This is……"

Tom looked at the crowds coming and going on the steam-filled platform, most of whom were wearing black robes and following his children.

"What is that?" Tom's attention was quickly attracted by a family. Behind the wife was a girl made of water. Tom's outstanding talent allowed him to feel the surging magic power in the girl's body.

"That's a five-star monster, a spring elves." The Prince girl standing in front of him responded and said casually: "It is also the most popular monster among women now. Although her combat effectiveness is a little poor, she has excellent healing ability. The most important thing is that she can condense a drop of pure water every day, which has very good beauty effects, comparable to the top beauty potion."

"My mother has been hoping to get her for a long time because she feels that our beauty potions have always had a strange smell. Unfortunately, there are only four or five cards of Spring Elf cards in the whole of England, which are very rare." After Prince finished speaking, he pulled Tom into the train.

The first few cars of the train were already full of people, and Prince pulled Tom to find an empty compartment behind the middle of the train.

As soon as he sat down, Tom couldn't help asking, "What are the spring elves and cards? Can you tell me?"

"This is actually common sense! But you didn't grow up in our wizarding world, so it's normal to be unclear." Prince thought for a while and asked, "Do you know the game cards that have spread from Germania?"

"Of course I know!" Tom nodded. This game is very popular among children. He saw people showing off with some rare cards there.

"That's convenient!" Prince nodded: "I don't know if you have noticed that one of the characteristics of the third-level nine-star game cards is that the higher the level, the rarer it is, and the more detailed the stories and introductions it has. What I want to tell you is that most of the stories recorded on the cards are really."

"How is this possible!" Tom couldn't help but say close to him.

"There is nothing impossible!" As if unhappy with Tom's rebuttal, Prince said unhappy: "The founder of the game card is a living god. He is still watching the world. According to legend, all cards live in it, and all monster elves are his relatives."

After saying that, Prince made a gesture on his chest and began to pray.

Tom didn't know how to answer, and the silence of the two continued to the Hogwarts Magic School.

After passing a rough and dark path, Tom and Prince came to a black lake. Looking at the towering castle standing on the high hillside across the lake, Tom curiously said, "That's Hogwarts?"

"That's right! This is Hogwarts, the only magic school in England, and the only school in the world that is favored by the God of Games!" It seems that because he has arrived at the place he favored by the gods, Prince is much more lively than before.

She pulled Tom to a small boat, took the boat through the Black Lake, entered Hogwarts, and led a tall witch in a robe, into the inside of the castle.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." After the witch said, pointing to herself, "You can call me Professor McGonagall, and you will attend the opening ceremony that every freshman will inevitably experience. However, before you get to the table, we will have to hold a branch ceremony to determine the environment for your future study."

"The branch ceremony is a tradition passed down by Hogwarts for thousands of years and is a very important ceremony. The names of the four Hogwarts colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each academies have their own glorious history and have cultivated many outstanding wizards..."

Walking to a lounge, Professor McGonagall stopped the introduction, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, all the gentlemen and ladies, you still have a few minutes to sort out your appearance. In a while, you will hold a branch ceremony in front of all the teachers and students in the school."

After saying that, Professor McGonagall left the lounge and after a while, he led Tom and his group of freshmen into the auditorium.

Standing in the line and following into the auditorium Tom saw four long tables placed inside the auditorium, which were filled with various golden tableware. At this time, there were already many students sitting by the table, and the last part of each long table was left empty, obviously for them, the new students.

Tom raised his head and looked at the miraculous ceiling above his head. The transparent dome could see the stars in the dark night sky. Under the dome, thousands of candles floating in the air, lit up the entire auditorium like daytime.

Professor McGonagall waved his wand and a four-foot stool appeared out of thin air at the feet of the child at the front of the team. Then a card fell from the sky and landed on the stool, turning into a dirty spire wizard hat.

This hat is a magic prop made by Hogwarts in the past. After being baptized by Yuan Qing's divine power, it has turned into a top-level card and is also one of the cornerstones of Hogwarts.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall bowed slightly to his hat, then took a few steps back, waved his wand, and summoned a long roll of parchment to his hand.

"Now, whoever I call my name will come forward and put on a hat, sit on a stool, and wait for the branch."

“Abraxas Malfoy!”

McGonagall called out his first name, and a blonde boy stepped forward and put on his dirty hat. After a moment, dark streams of light appeared behind the boy, and the little wizards below were amazed.

Finally, behind Abraxas, the stream of light gathered into a monster holding a branch in one hand and a shield in the other, with a lower body like a poisonous snake and a rooster head.

‘Obathur, who originated from Persia, was once a Persian god, but with the rise of the Almighty God, gradually turned into a devil’s six-star monster.’ Looking at the monster image above, Tom’s heart automatically flashed through his corresponding information.

Then, Tom saw the monster turn into a card and fall into the hands of Abraxas Malfoy. At the same time, the wizard hat on his head shouted loudly: "No doubt, Slytherin!"
