As usual on the first day of school, the platform was packed with wizards, but this year the atmosphere was noticeably much more tense.

On the other side of the crowd, the bright red Hogwarts Express was belching thick steam.

Seeing Harry and Evan coming in, the eyes of the students and parents in the vicinity of the two of them were focused on the two of them, whispering, under the media bombardment and propaganda in the recent period, there are few people who don't know Evan and Harry.

The fear of Voldemort was deep, and Evan and Harry were as well-known as they were among these wizards.

Despite being stared at as soon as he entered, Evan still felt much more familiar.

He had been through so many dangerous things throughout the summer, and it was still the familiarity of Hogwarts that was relaxing.

He searched around, but he didn't see Elaine, and he didn't know where the guy was, so he probably got in the car.

"Let's go. Harry said that he didn't want to stand here and be stared at, and without asking the gloomy Auror, he waved his hand and motioned for Aven, Hermione, and Ron to follow him down the platform, looking for an empty carriage with no one.

"We can't walk together, Harry. Hermione said apologetically, "The three of us are going to the prefect's carriage and then we're going to walk the hallways. Evan might have to say a few more words and arrange work for the prefects or something. ”

After Umbridge was ousted, Evan reinstated himself as president of the boys' student council.

Although he never did much student council work from the beginning to the end, Hermione and the Girls Student Council President were in charge.

But in any case, he still needs to be present in person to meet the prefects at the beginning of the semester every year.

"Oh, yes, I forgot. Harry said, "You're going to have meetings and patrols." ”

"We'll see you later!" said Aven, waving his hand at Harry.

"Dude, you can find a carriage for us, maybe you can sit with Lavender and her friends, trust me, it won't be long. Ron turned his back to Hermione and said in a voice she couldn't hear, "I'm going to look for you guys on patrol and don't let Hermione find out." ”

"Alright, boys, you'd better all get in the car, there's only a few minutes left. Mrs. Weasley looked at her watch and said, "Have a nice semester, especially you, Ron, and don't get into trouble at school......

"Got it, Mom, I'm not a kid anymore!" Ron said dissatisfied.

He followed Evan and Hermione to the prefect's car, and behind them, Harry pulled Mr. Weasley aside.

They must have been going to say something, maybe Harry wanted to tell Mr. Weasley what he had to say about Malfoy.

"My dad can't control the Underworld and werewolves, but he can check on Malfoy's house and the shops in Tumbledown Alley. "But I don't think he would believe Harry's reasoning, and Malfoy couldn't have been a Death Eater...... By the way, we can find a chance to verify that the prefect meeting is a good opportunity to see if he has the Dark Mark on him, if he is a Death Eater, there is no way to hide it. ”

"So, what do you want to do? strip Malfoy naked and get his body checked?" Hermione asked rhetorically.

"Well, I know it's not good, but you can't deny it's the quickest way to do it. Ron said.

"Yes, it's fast, and it's going to make the headlines of Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry tomorrow. "Even the question was shocking, the president of the boys' student council and the two prefects stripped a boy's clothes in the box and checked his body......"

He wasn't going to do anything, and he didn't want to find out if Malfoy was a Death Eater.

Even if this kind of thing is confirmed, what is the point?

Arresting Malfoy and sending him to Azkaban would have no effect on Voldemort at all, but would affect the development of the following events.

Malfoy fails, and Voldemort can choose someone else to do those things.

Those who had Death Eater students in their families, and many more ambitious people, couldn't wait for this opportunity to pledge their allegiance to the Dark Lord.

The situation in the school seems to be calmer than it seems, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging.

Eventually, the calm before the outbreak of war is like the calm before a storm, with forces on all sides gathering strength.

"Well, if you two could have a better way......" Ron said.

"No, I'm not against your plan, Ron, you and Harry can look for such an opportunity in the castle, in a nobody's corner, strip Malfoy or something, and double-check if he has that mark on him, but not today, you have just seen it from the platform, because of the current situation in the wizarding world and the terrible things that happened during the summer vacation, the students are panicked enough, let's not add to the chaos. Hermione said, looking around, "Wait, why are there so few people in this carriage?"

As they walked along, the other cars were filled and there weren't many empty spaces.

The only exception to this carriage was that it seemed empty and not full at all.

"I can guess why. Evan said, looking at the people in the carriage.

It was full of Slytherin students, and they sat in twos and threes in the carriage, taking up a lot of space.

When the students of the other schools saw the Slytherin inside, they immediately avoided it, as if they were hiding from the plague.

It's not hard to understand that they are afraid, and everyone knows that Slytherin House and Voldemort have a lot to do with it.

The students of Slytherin House were also the most supportive of Voldemort, and now, no one dared to approach them.

This was the change at the beginning of the semester, the first one, the students of the other three houses were hiding from Slytherin.

In one direction, they are driving privileges in this way.

On the other hand, the Slytherins are isolated, and Hogwarts is no longer as a single body as it once was.

"No one dared to come, they took over the place. ”

"It's not going to go on like this, they can't occupy a car alone. Hermione said, opening the door and stepping inside.

Inside are two fifth-grade Slytherin students who are sharing their summer experiences.

After seeing Aven, Hermione, and Ron come in, the two of them hurriedly stood up, obviously becoming very nervous, even a little scared.

They were afraid of Evan, after all, the newspapers in the month after the summer vacation were full of news about him, and the media reporters and the Ministry of Magic did not hesitate to praise Evan, all kinds of articles analyzing and praising his strength and experience......

Even if not as good as wizards like Voldemort and Dumbledore, they are much stronger than the other students.

After reading those articles, there was no reason why the Slytherin students should not be afraid of Evan, especially if they regarded Gryffindor and Ewen as imaginary enemies, regardless of whether they really supported Voldemort or not, so the Slytherin students agreed that the Gryffindors were probably their enemies.

It's not to blame them, in the past few years, the two academies have had too many conflicts, and they both regard each other as rivals and enemies......
