Opening ceremony
"The Malfoys are the directors of the school, and they would definitely be invited to a ball like this. Coupled with the presence of Sicy, how could Lucius not come. ā
"You can invite Chris•Crabbe, didn't you invite her to Professor Slughorn's last dinner?" Yolanda "kindly" built yƬ road.
"What are you kidding!!!!!" Regulus's reaction was huge, "I skipped with her at a family banquet before, and she almost didn't step on my foot to become a second-degree cripple!! As soon as Regulus closed his eyes, he could recall the horror of that experience.
The Hogwarts Express finally slowed down and stopped at pitch-black Hogsmeade Station.
The doors opened, and thunder rumbled in the air. They got off the train, their heads bowed and their eyes squinted in the pouring rain. The rain fell so hard that it was like buckets of cold water pouring over their heads.
As is customary, first-year students are ferried from the lake by Hagrid to Hogwarts Castle.
"Oh, I can't imagine crossing the lake in such weather." Lily trembled and said excitedly. At this time, they moved little by little with the flow of people, and walked past the dark platform. Outside the station, a hundred horse-drawn carriages were waiting for them, and of course, only Yolanda could see the creatures that no one else could see. Yolanda, Lily, Sevrous, and Regulus quickly climbed into one of them, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. The door slammed shut, and a moment later, with a violent jolt, the long motorcade set off along the path to Hogwarts Castle, crackling and splashing along the way.
The carriage passed through a gate flanked by winged boar sculptures and drove down a wide driveway, shaking violently due to the strong winds. Yolanda leaned against the window and saw Hogwarts getting closer, many of the lighted windows gleaming dimly behind the thick curtain of rain. Their carriage came to a halt at the foot of the stone steps in front of the two oak gates, and just then a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the people in the carriage in front of them had hurried up the stone steps and ran into the castle. Yolanda, Lily, Sevrous, and Regulus jumped out of the carriage and ran up the stone steps in three steps and two steps, and did not lift their heads until they entered the deep foyer of the cavern. Torches are lit in the foyer, and the marble staircase is magnificent.
A large red balloon filled with water falls from the ceiling and explodes above Lily's head. Lily was drenched in water, muttering in her mouth, stumbling and falling onto Yolanda next to her. Just then, a second water bomb fell, almost hitting Sevrous, exploding at Regulus' feet. Icy cold water squirted out and poured on his tourist shoes, soaking his socks. The people around them screamed and pushed each other, all trying to get out of this place as soon as possible. Yolanda looked up and saw the prankster Peeves floating twenty feet above their heads. He was short and wore a hat with a bell and an orange bow tie.
He seemed to have spotted Lily and Sevrous among the four of the best bullies
