"Of course." Polly naturally doesn't mind having another friend.
The girl sat next to Noah, holding a gray Norwegian forest cat in her arms.
"Thank you, my name is Eve, Eve Lestrange." As soon as Eve finished speaking, the box fell into a brief silence.
Even Noah couldn't help but look at the beautiful girl next to him.
"Lestrange?" Cedric looked at the girl subconsciously, with undisguised surprise on his face.
Eve seemed to have expected their reaction: "Yes, it's Lestrange."
She raised her chin slightly, but she didn't look arrogant. Instead, she had a sense of pride unique to nobility: "Just call me Eve. Are you freshmen too?"
Lestrange, one of the twenty-eight largest pure-blood families in the wizarding world, is an ancient family. Well, it is said that there are many dark wizards, but this is normal. Except for Weasley, which pure-blood family does not What about a little dark magic involved?
However, when people nowadays mention Lestrange, the first thing they think of is Death Eaters, because the previous generation Lestrange's family head and wife are still imprisoned in Azkaban.
"Hello, I am Noah Lannister." This time it was Noah who introduced himself first. Cedric looked very surprised, and Pearly didn't understand the name "Lestrange" at all. meaning.
"Can I call you Noah?"
"what ever."
Noah didn't care about the so-called family. Basically, strength spoke in the wizarding world.
The conversation between the two relaxed the atmosphere a bit, and Cedric and Pearly also introduced themselves.
The steam locomotive started slowly at this time and began to drive towards Hogwarts.
Polly looked at Eve with bright eyes. She didn't have any other thoughts, she just thought Eve was pretty and elegant: "Can I call you Eve?"
"Okay." Eve nodded, "Polly."
Cedric opened his mouth and was relieved after discovering that Eve did not show any discriminatory behavior towards Pearly.
He had heard before that many pure-blood families would look down on or even discriminate against Muggle-born wizards, and he was worried for a moment. Fortunately, Eve didn't seem to care about these origin issues, but she wasn't very enthusiastic about it.
Thinking of this, he relaxed and joined in the conversation.
"...I don't know which college I will be assigned to."
Speaking of Hogwarts, freshmen cannot avoid talking about sorting.
I don’t know if it was out of some tacit understanding that the old students would keep this secret and refuse to tell how they were sorted.
Naturally, this was also the case for Noah's parents. They rarely even mentioned the matter of being sorted into a college. They seemed to think that Noah could go to any college.
Of course, Noah knew very well how the sorting was done, but it was also quite interesting to watch the other three little wizards make all kinds of weird guesses.
"Sort hospital?" Pearly expressed confusion.
"Well, it's a ceremony to decide which house you go to." Cedric explained, "Hogwarts is divided into four houses. Every little wizard who goes to school will go through this ceremony to decide where he should go next. Study in an academy.”
"Sounds like it's important?" Pearly felt a little nervous inexplicably, "How should I be sorted?"
"I don't know." Cedric smiled reassuringly, "It's impossible for us to duel with the troll."
Pearly didn't know what a "troll" was, but that didn't stop her from being so frightened that her face turned pale.
"I guess it's a magic test." Eve gave a more reliable guess, "For example, talent or something."
She said reservedly: "But I think I should enter Slytherin. The wizards in our family are all Slytherins."
"Slytherin?" Pearly blinked.
"One of the four major colleges." Cedric glanced at Eve, "The other three colleges are..."
Eve looked at Noah who was quiet at the side: "What about you? Do you have a college you want to go to?"
Noah shook his head: "I don't know."
Keya poked a small head out of his collar, made a hissing sound, and stared at the door of the box with two red beady eyes.
"Snake?" Eve saw Keya with sharp eyes, and she exclaimed, "You actually have a snake as a pet!"
"Snake?!" Pearly's reaction was more intense. She almost jumped up from her seat, wanting to be eight hundred meters away from Noah, which shocked Cedric on the side.
"Sorry." Noah apologized to the frightened Pearly without sincerity, "Keya won't bite."
Eve's eyes were sparkling when she looked at Noah, "Snake!" A freshman actually got a snake as a pet!
At this moment, she had forgotten the aristocratic etiquette she had maintained before. The word "so cool" was almost written all over her face, and she even wanted to get closer to look at Keya.
Keya was very well-behaved in Noah's hands, which did not mean that strangers were not excluded. When he noticed Eve's approach, he immediately made a threatening "hiss" sound, stretched out more of his body, and even posed An attacking stance.
Noah pushed Eve away in time and held Keya down with one finger: "Keya, don't make trouble."
Keya could only be pushed back into the collar unwillingly, and simply ignored Eve, but looked at the door of the box again.
The next second, their box door was knocked and pushed open.
"Do you need some snacks?" After the witch pushing the trolley said this, she realized the subtle atmosphere in the box. She glanced at Pearly, who was standing in the seat with a frightened face, and then glanced at the side who seemed to be trying to comfort her. Her Cedric then looked at Noah and Eve, who were still sitting firmly, "Maybe you need some chocolate?"
"Licorice wand, pumpkin pie, chocolate balls, for four people, and an extra piece of jerky." Noah nodded, and after reporting these things, he looked at the others, "Do you need anything else? Just treat it as This is my apology for scaring you."
Only then did Polly react. She realized that she had overreacted, and squatted on her seat while blushing: "Sorry..."
She is just afraid of snakes.
Eve looked at her: "Is there any pink coconut sorbet?"
"Picky little lady." The witch smiled, "Yes, this year we have special sponsorship from Honeydukes."
Several bags of snacks flew out of the dining cart in front of her, and she looked at Noah.
Noah waved his wand: "Wingardium Leviosa."
The suitcase on the side opened a gap, and a money bag flew out.
"Exactly three Sickles."
Noah waved his magic wand, and three silver coins flew out of the money bag and flew towards the witch. Then the floating money bag was tied up again and flew into the suitcase, and finally with a crisp "knock" He bowed and buttoned it up again, returning to its original state.
"Freshman?" The witch took the three silver coins, couldn't help but glance at Noah, put the snacks on the table and left.
The box door was closed again, and the three little wizards looked at Noah quietly.
"How did you do it?" Eve asked first.
"Levitation spell." Noah looked calm on the surface, but he was secretly relieved. He could easily use this simple magic now, and combined with the plug-in, he could even do this small spell. The spell was cast silently, but the spell was recited after taking into account the current age.
"I know it's a floating spell, but how did you do it? Are you really a first-year student?" Eve couldn't help but raise her voice.
Although the other two didn't speak, their eyes said everything.
