"I summoned Kreacher to heal her wounds, and only later did I find out from her that she had designed robes for Lady Morkin's robe store, and occasionally bought them on the black market in Tumbledown Alley with some potions, and had been safe and sound before, except for that accident, when she was targeted by a few scum with bad intentions."

"I said, why don't you stick to me lately, and you often sneak out to find her after that, don't you?"

Regulus did not speak.

"Then why didn't you tell the truth when your mother asked you to go there? You've been scolded by your mother several times because you came back late. ”

Regulus said sullenly, "She's half-blooded, and if her mother knew about it, she would probably suffer." ”

Sirius raised an eyebrow, and the way he looked at Regulus changed.

"I thought you were the same as the rest of the family, but I didn't expect you to ......"

Regulus rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Haven't you always thought I was clinging to you and annoying me?" ”

Sirius flattered with a smile: "How could it be." ”

"Humph!"

It's already getting dark.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, please leave your luggage on the train and we'll take you to the school."

The sound echoed through the train.

The train slowed down and finally stopped.

Passengers pushed and shoved, rushed to the door, and descended to a small, dark platform.

Then a lamp flickered above the students' heads, and a voice shouted, "First graders! First-year students are here! ”

In the sea of people, a bearded face smiled.

"Come on, come with me, are there any new first-year students? Watch out for the soles of your feet, all right! First-year students come with me! ”

"Wow! He's so tall."

Lily sighed.

Urlanda whispered, "He's Hogwarts' key keeper and hunting groundsman, Hagrid."

"How do you know?"

"I've seen him a lot at the Broken Axe Bar, he's a regular there."

They followed Hagrid, stumbling and stumbling, seemingly descending a steep and narrow path.

It was pitch black on both sides of the path.

"Turn this corner, and you'll soon see Hogwarts for the first time."

Hagrid shouted back.

This was followed by a loud "Oh! ”

At the end of the narrow path, a black lake suddenly unfolded.

On the high hillside on the other side of the lake rises a majestic castle with spires and windows twinkling under the stars.

"No more than four people per boat!"

Hagrid exclaimed, pointing to a group of small boats moored to the shore.

Yulanda, Lily, and Severus also have a curly-haired girl on board.

"Are you all on board?"

Hagrid shouted, and he was in a boat by himself.

"That's good...... Go ahead! ”

A group of small boats immediately rowed across the mirror-like lake.

Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle that reached into the sky.

As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to rise above them.

"Keep your head down!"

As the first boats approached the cliff, Hagrid shouted.

Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy curtain that covered the cliff front to the secluded open entrance.

They followed a pitch-black tunnel that seemed to lead to the castle underneath, and finally reached a place that resembled an underground pier, and then climbed up to the ground of gravel and small pebbles.

Illuminated by Hagrid's lantern, they climbed a tunnel in the rocks and finally reached a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.
