On the first day of school, Watson turned down everything.
He was driving, and the thick black circles under his eyes made people wonder what he had done yesterday.
Watson, who stayed up late to read an entire Lockhart novel, sighed.
Along the way, John sat in the car, feeling as if Watson would fall asleep at any time.
Fortunately, Watson had strong willpower and successfully persisted until he arrived at King's Cross Station and was delivered safely.
Tom looked as if he had saved a dog's life. He was very happy, wagging his tail and being led away by Mrs. Wick.
"Do you want to sleep here for a while?" John asked looking at his father.
Watson took a sip of the coffee from the source of life and vowed: "I said I would send you to school, and I will never break my promise."
After getting out of the car, Watson waved to the row of black cars behind him.
The man in suit who was following stopped and asked the others to wait here.
John found that his father was becoming more and more successful when he went out.
Watson explained: "Last time, those guys in the hotel didn't stop, so the people in the company didn't trust me."
John automatically translated it into something understandable, which was that Watson was being targeted by others, and those men in suits were here to protect his safety.
Watson walked to King's Cross Station without a bodyguard following him.
Looking at the entrance to platform nine and three-quarters, he said with envy: "John, you're here."
John took Tom's leash, nodded to his family, and walked toward the platform.
Crossing the platform, another world appears.
Pulling off the dog leash, the dog leash automatically fell from Tom's neck.
It shrank into a bracelet and was put into the small bag by John.
Tom immediately ran to the train to find a seat, and John slowly walked onto the train.
Wherever Tom passed on the train, he was inevitably rubbed on the head by students who knew him and looked at curiously by students who did not know him.
When John arrived at the box, Tom was leaning against the window and wagging his tail outside.
This obvious feature was quickly noticed by Daphne. She walked up quickly, and Tom threw himself at her affectionately.
After a while, Malfoy came over.
Goyle and Crabbe came over, their faces no longer sad.
Their father was imprisoned in Azkaban. He thought he would never get out of Azkaban, but his sentence was changed to two years.
Astoria and Pansy got in the car together. They had just gone to exchange some things.
Some time after the train started, Daphne and Malfoy returned after leaving.
They are prefects and they are going to inspect the carriages.
However, Malfoy didn't look good. After sitting down, he sneered: "You should take a look at 'Savior Potter'. He is really impressive, isn't he?"
He was talking about Harry being watched by a group of girls just now, and the Daily Prophet reported a lot about the Ministry of Magic.
Since the Society of Stars was wiped out, the focus of public opinion fell on the Order of the Phoenix and Harry.
Harry inevitably became the most conspicuous one.
Even the others who went with him became nameless foils.
This is normal, after all, he was known as the 'Boy Who Lived' when he was a child.
No one in the Ministry of Magic knows exactly what he did, but it does not prevent him from becoming 'the person who defeated that person for the second time'.
The cult of personality was well developed in the Academy era, and students all wanted to be friends with Harry.
Girls especially like students who can satisfy their vanity on their own, and there are bold girls who invite him to sit in the same carriage.
"Like a peacock in heat." Malfoy never spared any effort to laugh at Harry.
She looked as sour as a neglected little daughter-in-law.
Daphne didn't say anything. After all, it was not the first time that Malfoy's hatred for Harry turned from hatred to sourness.
Malfoy chatted about Harry Potter for a while, then turned around and saw Astoria's troubled expression.
He asked nervously: "Atuo, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ato?" Daphne, who had a strange focus, found a blind spot, glanced at Malfoy with a knife-like gaze, turned around and asked with concern: "Did you eat something bad?"
"No," Astoria shook her head and struggled, "It's Pansy. She has a boyfriend again."
"Then we have to investigate carefully." Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Astoria was not in trouble, and said carelessly: "After all, Pansy can always attract people with evil intentions."
This is true, the first boyfriend was the 'pen pal' Tom Riddle, and the second boyfriend was the little boyfriend who betrayed all Slytherins.
The third grader missed the fourth grade this year because he was expelled.
It was Pansy who handed over the evidence to Snape herself.
He will probably have to stay in Azkaban for a few years on the charge of murdering his classmates.
So when Malfoy said this, several people in the carriage nodded unconsciously.
But unfortunately, Pansy happened to walk over and heard this.
Her place is next door.
He rushed in, grabbed Malfoy's split hair in the third row and twelfth column on the left, and dragged him out.
After a while, Malfoy's collar flew up and his tie was wrapped around his head. He said stubbornly: "I just don't hit women."
"Yeah, we all know."
Perfunctory literature is used to great effect, and John responds perfunctorily.
Astoria still felt sorry for Malfoy, so she took out her wand and tapped his nose, "whirlwind sweep away" 33
The shoemarks on Malfoy's face disappeared, and a small whirlwind blew back into his hair.
"Thank you, Atto." Malfoy pulled off his tie and looked at Astoria opposite.
Astoria smiled and nodded, Malfoy grinned, and looked up to see Daphne's murderous eyes.
Just then, there was a knock on their compartment door.
A third-grade boy did not dare to look directly at the person sitting by the window. He stammered in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly: "Hello, I'll take these..."
"Did you leave your vocal cords at home?" Malfoy said unhappily.
The third-year student was frightened, and he had obviously heard of Malfoy's reputation.
He spoke quickly and shouted, "I'm here to give these to John Wick, Daphne Greengrass, and Draco Malfoy."
After speaking, he handed three rolls of parchment tied with purple ribbons to the three of them.
Malfoy took all three volumes, glanced at them, and made the students leave as quickly as a vicious dog chasing him.
Giving the thing to John, John opened it and glanced at the contents.
"John:
I would be honored and happy if you could have lunch with me in Box C.
Yours faithfully, Professor F. Slughorn. "
"Slughorn's invitation," Malfoy took the parchment and looked at it again uncertainly.
Then he came to his senses, walked out of the box and yelled at the boy just now, "You missed one, send it over quickly!"
The student heard this and ran faster.
John looked at Astoria and she also saw that her sister was invited.
She smiled reluctantly and said to Daphne, "I'm fine, sister."
"Astoria." Daphne held Astoria's hand.
Malfoy returned to the box and muttered unhappily: "You can even get the number of people wrong, are you wrong?"
He was even more indignant when he saw Astoria forcing a smile.
John shook his head slightly. Slughorn also had a day when his vision was wrong.
Daphne was so sharp that people ignored the other girl in the Greengrass family.
He whispered to the disappointed Astoria: "Astoria, there is something that I have been thinking about for a long time."
Astoria looked up, confused.
John raised his hand, and starlight gathered on his fingertips, finally condensing into a small box tied with a sky-blue ribbon.
He handed the thing to Astoria and said softly: "Open it so that you can prove that I haven't tampered with it."
Astoria looked at her sister and Daphne nodded at her.
Gently pulling apart the ribbon, she carefully opened the box.
Inside lies a medallion of stars, with the stars on it constantly changing.
Astoria covered her mouth in surprise, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
The badge had a small card with Astoria's name written on it.
John chuckled and said: "I have always been thinking about whether to recruit you into the Star Club. You were too young before. Are you willing to join the Star Club now?"
Astoria bit her lip and turned her head away, trying not to let her tears fall.
She saw her sister Daphne's encouraging eyes and Malfoy's encouraging gesture.
She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Finally, she waited.
Seeing her excitement, John simply stood up and said casually: "We should go out."
Knowing that this was the best place for Astoria to vent her emotions, Malfoy and Daphne both agreed and left the box.
After the people left, Astoria cried.
She touched her tears randomly with her hands.
She had wanted to join the Star Club long before she walked down the hall surrounded by stars.
But surrounded by excellent people, she became so inconspicuous.
I am not worthy of the Star Club.
This was a conclusion she made for herself very early on. With this idea in mind, she worked hard to become better and wanted to stand with her sister.
But after the stars appeared, people could no longer see the other people beside the stars.
Although she didn't say anything about what happened today, she was still very hurt inside. She wasn't good enough and she didn't even get an invitation.
But now, nothing matters.
What's Slughorn's invitation?
The Star Society proved to her that Astoria Greengrass was no less than anyone.
John's words clearly told her that this was not the comfort given by sadness, but that the plan had been decided before.
There is no back door and no sympathy.
She, like her sister, was the best of people.
She is the shining star that stands side by side with the stars.
...
Some people died, but not completely...
