Harry and his friends met Ron and Hermione's families in Diagon Alley, and together they purchased textbooks and other daily necessities for the new semester.
Ron still got Percy's old textbooks, but he was not sad at all, because in order to make up for the loss of his pet Scabbers, Black gave him a chubby owl, which he named "Piggy".
However, everyone still didn't see Fred and George. Even their father, Arthur, didn't know where they had gone. Mrs. Weasley was complaining along the way. The two sons followed Bai Lin everywhere crazy for the whole month. , I didn’t even know I had returned home. I hope they can catch up with the start of school.
However, Harry knew that Bailin had a shortcut to Hogwarts, so he didn't have to take the train to King's Cross Station every time. Although Harry always thought that getting on the Hogwarts Express had an inexplicable sense of ritual.
On the train, the students were discussing their new teacher - Mad Eye Moody, an extremely powerful Auror. He sent half of the Death Eaters to Azkaban, but after his retirement, he Somewhat delirious.
Ron muttered while eating snacks: "They are just making a fuss about who hasn't chosen a quirk yet, and my dad collects all kinds of plugs!"
While flipping through the book, Hermione glanced at Ron with disgust from the corner of her eyes. However, she felt quite sorry that someone could not continue to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Although someone's teaching method was a bit rough, this was In the past, Hermione's philosophy was absolutely unacceptable, but now that she thinks about it, she seems to have begun to agree with it, and even miss it a little.
The weather was clear and sunny today. Harry sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. He thought of the downpour at this time last year and the first time they fought against dementors on the train. Someone was almost killed by a dementor. Taken away with a kiss.
"Did you know? Students from Durmstrang can directly learn black magic!" Ron said mysteriously: "I heard from my dad. He once considered sending me there. He said that he I know the principal there.”
"Just send you there, so I don't have to be annoyed by you every day~" Hermione gave Ron a knife with a smile.
"Isn't that right? Maybe that way you will be stronger, and you won't have to be beaten all over the place by Hermione every time, haha~" Harry added another shot without hesitation.
"But," Harry asked curiously, "Durmstrang is also a magic school?"
Hermione nodded and gave Harry some information in time: "Although I don't know where Durmstrang is, it should be far to the north... Their school uniform also includes a fur cloak to keep out the cold! They teach some Black magic, of course, does not include the three forbidden spells.”
"Are there many more magic schools? I've never heard of you talking about them!" Harry said.
"Maybe if you go to the library and read more... you will be much more knowledgeable than a guy who only knows how to eat snacks~" Hermione still did not forget to give Ron a squeeze, and was still thinking about what he laughed at her: "There are a total of There are three magic schools, the last one is Beauxbatons, and that...Ms. Catherine graduated from Beauxbatons."
Everyone heard about the breakup of Bai Lin and Catherine, and immediately looked at each other and understood each other. After a while, Ron and Hermione started arguing again about how the magic school hid a huge castle.
However, Harry was still deeply skeptical of Hermione's explanation, because no matter how much blindness was used to prevent Muggles from seeing the castle, it would be impossible for several years without a Muggle accidentally breaking in, and Muggles had never been seen in the sky. Gua's plane, he rather believed Bai Lin's statement. In fact, Hogwarts is in a world within a world, and can only be entered through special methods, such as taking the Hogwarts Express.
A group of people were noisy, but the weather in September changed at will, and as we neared the finish line, it began to rain heavily again.
They soon arrived at Hogsmeade Station. Harry saw Malfoy getting off another carriage. He glanced at the three of them from a distance and turned around. It seemed that Malfoy had been quiet a lot recently and was no longer fine. Just come and cause trouble for them.
There was a rumble of thunder in the air. Hermione covered Crookshanks with her cloak, and Ron also carefully covered the piggy cage and jumped off the train despite the heavy rain.
"Hello, Hagrid!" Harry said hello to the huge figure on the platform, using his arm to block the rainwater on his glasses.
"Hello, Harry!" Hagrid replied gruffly. He wanted to say something else, but the rain poured on his face, making him almost choke.
"By the way, why don't you open your pink umbrella?" A long-lost voice sounded from behind Hagrid, and then Harry and Hermione were delighted to see Bai Lin walking out from behind, pointing one finger in the air. , the rain seemed to be blocked by an invisible big umbrella, and not a drop could fall on him.
"Let me do something good, ha, the space magic I just learned~" Bai Lin raised his hands to the sky, and suddenly the invisible umbrella became as big as the roof of the platform, covering all the children who were about to get off the bus. .
"Thank you, Professor!" The children thanked Bai Lin one after another, and some senior girls came over and asked him very happily: "Professor, which course do you teach in the new semester? I will definitely take it as an elective!"
"It's great to hear that you and the seamstress broke up. No, I mean, it's such a shame..."
Bai Lin rolled his eyes, feeling that protecting them from the rain was an idiotic thing to do.
As usual, the first-year students were ferried over from the lake by Hagrid, while the other students got on the carriage pulled by the Thestral. As soon as Harry got on the carriage, he saw the twins getting into the same carriage with them.
"Hello, Harry~" George greeted Harry: "How did you learn from Ron? I guess he must be impressed by you haha~" The twins always teased Ron for fun, maybe because they disliked Ron after he was born. , Mrs. Weasley didn't bother to care about them.
Ron said unconvinced: "If I have a chance, I'd like to see what you learned from Professor Kelin!"
"Actually, it's usually Hermione who's the one with the bad guys~" Harry exposed Ron's background with one sentence. Ron rushed over to scratch Harry's itch, and the two of them made the carriage tremble.
Hermione looked at the two of them and sighed in a rather old-fashioned way: "Oh, what a naive little boy~"
The carriage passed through the gate with winged boar statues on both sides and continued to drive along the spacious driveway for a while. Due to the strong wind, even if the two little ones had stopped playing, the carriage was still shaking violently.
Harry leaned against the car window and saw Hogwarts getting closer and closer. Many lighted windows were dimly shining behind the thick rain curtains. Returning to school again, Harry felt a little like he was in another world. However, His heart has become more determined. He must work harder this year and learn his true skills so that he can become the person he wants to be.
