Chapter 62: The New School Year
Chapter 62: The New School Year
Sephiroth felt that the summer vacation had passed too quickly, and he hadn't even had time to make many arrangements, and the magicians of "Truth Astronomy" had barely penetrated many wizards' territory during a vacation.
Zuihou overnight, tomorrow all the students will be back at Hogwarts. For this reason, the sad mother conjured up a whole table of delicacies, all of which were his and his sister's favorite foods, and the mere smell of them made the mouth water.
After a night of fun, Sephiroth went back to good baby mode and went to bed at nine o'clock.
The next morning, the pendulum clock rang punctually.
The Stirlings woke up, and since it was no longer Sephiroth's first time in school, and with an older sister leading them, Mr. Sterling decided to let them go to the train station on their own.
Sephiroth didn't have a house-elf who dared to block his passage, so he made it to Platform 9 and 3/4 without any problems. When he entered the platform of nine and three-quarters, Sephiroth took a special look at the time, and there were still 20 minutes before the train departed.
Sephiroth remembered that it seemed that it took Zuihou and his party a few seconds to reach the platform, so that no one noticed anything unusual when Potter didn't get into the platform. If Potter and the others had come to the train station 20 minutes or even 10 minutes earlier, then the people who entered later would have found that the platform was blocked, and the adult wizard would naturally have a way to deal with it, and they would have been able to follow in.
However, who calls them all people who have no sense of time, and laziness deserves such a lesson.
Sephiroth was looking forward to hearing the good news of their drive to hit the willow at dinner time.
Once on board, not long after finding an empty car, Sephiroth met Draco. He still had the two henchmen behind him, and he simply said hello and disappeared, probably to find trouble with Potter.
Unfortunately, he couldn't have found Potter on the train today.
In his leisure, Sephiroth rarely saw that he did not hold a book to read, but looked out of the window at the bustling scene of people coming and going on the platform. The old students are so sophisticated that they enter the carriage of their age, and the new students wander around looking for the new students' carriage under the leadership of their parents, and they are reluctant to say goodbye to their parents with tears on their faces.
It's another year of school, and no matter how students change, Hogwarts is still quietly welcoming new students year after year.
"Bad luck, I can't find Potter anywhere."
The train was gone, and Draco, who hadn't seen Harry from the front to the back of the car, ran back in frustration. Thankfully, Sephiroth had reserved a seat for him in the first place, otherwise it would have been his turn to look around for empty seats.
"You mean, you can't find Potter anywhere on the train? It can't be, it's the only bus to Hogwarts, unless Potter doesn't want to go to Hogwarts, he must be on the train. Have you seen those of his friends? Do they know something? ”
Although Sephiroth was very concerned about the cause of the incident, he couldn't tell Draco directly, otherwise how could he explain how he knew about it.
In particular, the main reason for this incident was the ghost of the house-elves in Draco's house. Even Draco himself didn't know, but Sephiroth could tell why. Isn't that the equivalent of telling Draco that he's been sending someone to spy on Malfoy's every move?
"You mean- Potter had an accident?"
Draco was thoughtful, of course Harry wouldn't want to go to Hogwarts, Harry's situation at the Driess house was pure-blood wizards who didn't know, where else could he go but Hogwarts?
Since there was no Harry on the train, it only meant that he didn't get on the train except for a few things.
But it doesn't matter, Harry is a great savior, a boy who never dies, and the professors at school won't ignore him. If he was really smart, all he needed to do now was go to a place where the professor knew and could find him, and wait for the professor to find out that something was wrong.
"I'll go and inquire."
Draco couldn't sit still, and as soon as he stood up, he wanted to go to the Gryffindor for information.
"I'll go with you. Of course, you don't need to be there, it's enough for you to help us take care of the box here. ”
Sephiroth grabbed Draco and told him to come with him, and offered some refreshments for Goyle and Crabbe to stay here and not make a mess.
This is a good opportunity to get along with Hermione, how can you let them mess with it.
Hogwarts students decide where to place their carriages by grade, not by house. Students from the four colleges of the same age were all in the same carriage, and Sephiroth and the others soon found Miss Hermione Granger fidgeting in the previous carriage.
Apparently the clever girl had noticed something was wrong, and she might have searched everywhere, but there was no Harry anywhere, and no one could see them even if they wanted to be asked.
"Oh, look, who is this? Why are you the only one here, and it's hard to understand that your friends finally can't stand your verbosity and abandon you? ”
At the sight of Hermione, Draco seemed to turn into Snape, venom spurting out of his mouth.
"Humph! It's you again, Malfoy. You're not welcome here, and if you don't leave, I'll let the prefect come over. ”
Gryffindor's aggressive nature flares up, and Hermione is not to be outdone, although she doesn't know what happened to Harry, but it's their instinct to disagree with Slytherin, especially Draco.
"Prefect? Even if you call it, what if you do, are you the one who has this place? hahahaha, if not, of course I can come! ”
Draco was like a child with his hands on his chest, "haha" daxiao, without Harry and Ron, how could a mere Hermione fight him.
"Come on, Draco, bullying a girl isn't something a gentleman should do. Also, don't stand in the way and don't notice that we're already being watched? ”
Sephiroth reached out and pulled Draco away, revealing the door he had blocked.
"You're here too......
Hermione was a little sad, Sephiroth was the first person she knew in the wizarding world, although she knew that he was also a member of Slytherin, but she had hardly dealt with them with Draco, and Sephiroth still had some affection in Hermione's heart.
But at the end of the last semester, the first time I saw Sephiroth make a move, it was really out of the ordinary, and it was higher than the sky.
"I don't really understand what you're trying to say, but forget it for now. Did you see Harry Potter in the car today? Draco said he wasn't in the train. ”
Sephiroth pushed Draco away, stepped forward himself, and asked Draco to negotiate, I'm afraid that good things would turn bad things for him. Of course, Draco wasn't all that unreliable, only against the Gryffindor trio.
"It doesn't seem like it's your business. Wouldn't you be happier if something happened to Harry? ”
Hermione glared at Sephiroth suspiciously, according to Slytherin's old style, it would be strange not to fall into the trap at this time. Acting so concerned now made Hermione a little suspicious, wondering if there was some conspiracy in Slytherin.
"Don't rush like a fried lion."
Sephiroth smiled wryly, frustrated by the confrontation between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
"I'm just here to advise you, if you really can't find Potter, you'd better inform the conductor or prefect on the train, and they'll have a way to do it. Otherwise, it will be too late to wait for something to happen. ”
"Hmm~ That's what you say, you can't just sit back and wait for the incident to get worse."
Although she couldn't believe Slytherin's nonsense, Hermione also felt that she couldn't wait any longer, with Harry and Ron's reckless personalities, if something really went wrong......
It's scary to think about.
"I don't know what you want to do, but I'm still reminded you. If you're okay, please leave. ”
Hermione glared at the two Sephiroth, the battle between Gryffindor and Slytherin was deeply entrenched, and it was not easy to change.
"Let's go, Draco."
Pulling Draco on, Sephiroth turned around and exited the box without hesitation, much to the disappointment of the students who were waiting outside to watch the excitement. Sephiroth's purpose had been achieved, to make an impression in front of Hermione, and to lay a good foundation for future dealings.
After that, things were much simpler, and Sephiroth and the others continued to enjoy delicious snacks and tea in their private compartments until the train arrived. As for how Hermione reported the disappearance of Harry and the others, no one cared.
The wheels of the train slowed down and finally came to a halt with a long roar.
The students who had already changed into their uniforms began to pour out of the train, and the new students were greeted by the half-giant Hagrid, as always.
As second-year students, Sephiroth and the others no longer have to trek as hard as they did in the first grade, with Thestrals' carriage waiting for them.
"Looking at them reminds me of when we were in the first grade, and we had both expectation and fear on our faces."
Boarding the Thestrals, as Thestrals flew into the sky, looking at the new students from the sky, they thought of a long chaotic snake stretching towards Hogwarts.
In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, warm light shot out of the cracks, and there were many candlesticks on the four long tables, and the orange light warmed people's hearts that were cold by the cold wind.
The old students rushed in and sat down at the long tables of their own houses one after another, waiting for the new students to be separated, just as they had done back then.
The sound of rustling came from the long table, and the students were discussing how many new students would be assigned to their own college this time, or what wonderful guys were among the new students this year, and many of them were excited to talk about all kinds of interesting things during the holiday with their friends.
This year's Hogwarts was as lively as it was back then.
Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the happy students from the professorship, and it was his greatest wish that the students could gain new knowledge and memorable happiness here.
