Chapter 112: Happiness Is Based on Pain
Arthur helped push Hermione's car first, and Dudley helped Hermione into the aisle.
Platform Nine and Three-quarters is still so crowded, and Dudley will feel a sense of excitement no matter how many times he sees this scene, because this is where the dream originated.
Arthur walked ahead and looked back at the two people who were supporting each other, although he didn't want to disturb them, he still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.
He took two steps behind and asked, "Dudley, did you know that this passage would be closed when you let Harry go first?"
"Well......" Dudley pondered for a moment and replied with a slightly simplified version, "Actually, there was an elf who didn't want Harry to return to Hogwarts, and even the letters you sent were intercepted, and I just suspected that it would prevent Harry from entering the platform, but I guessed right." ”
He touched the back of his head and smiled innocently.
"That's right......" Arthur was puzzled.
He wasn't to blame for that, but Dudley didn't say a lot of the key points that worked.
Soon, they walked to a carriage, and through the window they could see Harry and Ron sitting and looking around.
"Are you really locked out of the passageway?" asked Harry as soon as he saw Dalli.
"Yes," Dudley replied helplessly, this time it was really uncomfortable, and he still felt a faint pain in his lower back.
There is no calamity, this is Dudley's opinion.
Although he had guessed that it was Dobby's revenge, he preferred to dump the huge black cauldron on Harry.
Whenever there is a problem, it is Harry's fault, this is Dudley's idea, very true.
If Harry had known Dudley's thoughts, he would have been tempted to throw Dudley out the window.
"Are you really alright?" Dudley asked with concern as he watched Hermione grin as he sat down.
"It's okay......" Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly, and she tilted her head to one side. Dudley is a stupid person, is it possible that she has to say it when she falls on her ass?
The train started, and everyone leaned out of the window and waved goodbye to the Weasleys.
Percy is a prefect and won't be with them.
George and Fred, the two twin brothers, didn't need to think about it to know that they went to find their good friend Lee Jordan, and they must have discussed some ideas for the whole person.
Ginny wasn't here, she was Harry's little fan, and after returning from Diagon Alley, she and Harry were able to talk a few words normally, so it stands to reason that she should be here.
"Where's Ginny?" Dudley asked.
"She... I said I wanted to get to know this year's new students, and I went to other carriages. ”
Dudley shrugged, there was no way, he still wanted to tease Harry and Ginny, maybe he could make this pair happen in advance, since Ginny wasn't there.
The Hogwarts Express travels north, and the scenery outside the window changes rapidly.
Outside the cubicle, the little wizards chased and ran for a long time.
It was getting dark, and they knew they were about to reach Hogwarts.
As Percy passed by their box, he reminded them to change into wizarding robes.
After a while, the train began to slow down, slower and slower, and finally landed at Hogsmeade Station.
As soon as you get out of the car, you can see Hagrid's tall figure.
Hagrid saw them and waved at them, but he didn't have a chance to talk, and he needed to take the first-year students across the lake.
Dudley, Hermione, Harry, and Ron followed in the footsteps of the other classmates to a rough path outside.
At least 100 carriages were parked here.
"Wow, a carriage without horses. Ron exclaimed.
"It's not like there's no horse......" a young girl with light blonde hair mixed with brown crossed the road beside them, her voice very clear.
"Luna Lovegood......" Dudley muttered in a voice that no one could hear, "and there is really a very obvious weirdness and fluttering temperament all over the body." ”
"She... I think she's weird in the head......" Ron said to them with a roll of his eyes.
"Alright, get in the car. Dudley nudged Ron, "Don't get in the car, we'll have to sit separately." ”
They got into the car, closed the door, and the carriage began to move.
Ron frowned and slapped his hands in front of his nose in disgust, there was a faint smell of stench and straw in the carriage.
The carriage drove to two imposing wrought-iron gates, flanked by stone pillars topped by winged boars.
Passing through the gates, the carriage sped down the long uphill drive to the castle.
Hermione poked her head out of the tiny car window, watching the many corner towers and towers get closer and closer to them.
"Here we are. ”
Hermione had finished speaking when the carriage staggered to a halt.
They got out of the car and happened to see Malfoy walking past them.
To the surprise of Ron and Harry, Malfoy did not provoke them, but instead raised his proud head and ignored them.
Dudley wanted to go up and ask why he didn't provoke them, which made him a little uncomfortable, and even doubted that it was not a fake Draco Malfoy.
"Hey," Ron said disdainfully, looking at Malfoy's back, "he's getting better so quickly." ”
Dudley pursed his lips and ignored Ron's complaints, the guy would have gotten dizzy at the sight of Malfoy.
With the existence of the magic hospital, of course Malfoy can get better quickly, otherwise the injury at that time may not be completely healed in a month.
......
They sat at a long table in the auditorium and waited.
It wasn't long before Professor McGonagall, with her eyes and hair tightly tied into a bun, led a group of panicked first-year freshmen in.
Dudley then understood why the sorting ceremony was kept secret from the newly enrolled young wizards.
Looking at this pair of faces, I instantly felt a chill in my heart.
This tradition needs to be continued.
"Colin Creevey. Professor McGonagall called out to the next one with a blank face.
It was a very skinny gray-haired boy.
Dudley had some impression of the name, only knowing that he could take pictures and, like Ginny, was a loyal Harry fan.
Creevey was assigned to Gryffindor, and he walked over with a shy face. It was hard to imagine that such a man chasing Harry and patting him would be shy.
"Luna Lovegood. ”
Ron suddenly said, "It's that girl with a weird head." ”
Dudley was a little embarrassed to hit Ron, and Luna was much smarter than Ron.
It's not.
No sooner had Luna put the Sorting Hat on her head than she was assigned to Ravenclaw House.
There was only one person left in the audience, Ginny Weasley.
She walked slowly up the stage, and a second before she put on the Sorting Hat, she was uneasy, afraid that she wouldn't be able to tell the Gryffindor.
Eventually, she got her wish, and Gryffindor was the place she wanted to go the most, so that she could be closer to Harry.
