"Guards? Do we really need guards? It's not that it's been ...... lately. Well, I mean, hasn't it been a lot safer out there lately? ”

Early the next morning, the young wizards were ready to go out at Mrs. Weasley's constant urging.

But it's clear that during this time, children have to be escorted by guards when they go out – and if something goes wrong, it's no fun!

"It's necessary," Sirius said solemnly, "and McLean thinks so too, he decided with us last night who will be escorted. ”

"Do you mean...... Are you one of the candidates? Hermione said in surprise.

"Yes, McLean agreed to my self-recommendation." Sirius said, suddenly leaning down and turning into a huge black dog.

"I didn't hear McLean agree!" Mrs. Weasley screamed loudly from the sidelines.

"Sirius, I know you're uncomfortable being stuck in the house, but you really can't get out." Lupin also helped stop the eager black dog, "Unless you want Harry to smuggle into Azkaban in the future, because that's the only way he'll see you again." ”

Sirius, who had turned into a big black dog, whined in dissatisfaction, and finally had to turn around and go back into the house.

"I guess he's more than just trying to escort you to King's Cross Station—" Lupin said reluctantly, "I'm well aware of Sirius' guts, and if I don't stop him, he'll follow you on the train!" ”

"Sirius just wanted to see Harry more," Hermione pursed her lips and said sympathetically, "after all, school is going to start again, and there will be fewer opportunities for him to meet Harry in the future." ”

Hearing Hermione say this, Ron suddenly sighed, "Oh! Since the beginning of this semester, we haven't really been able to see Maca in school. ”

Hermione's expression was also gloomy when she heard this.

"Durmstrong?" She watched as the two brothers, Fred and George, enchanted their luggage downstairs, but the focus seemed to be looking at the air, "We didn't even know where Maca's school was...... Not...... This is terrible! Terrible......"

"I knew I wouldn't have given that crucible to Maca, and it's not cheap to send letters across borders! There's no way to send a letter to Maca now......" Ron said, clutching his head.

"He seems to like the crucible, and I think that's enough." Fred, who passed by the two of them, laughed.

However, before the words could be spoken, a scream was heard, followed by a thumping bang. This was because Fred was talking and didn't notice that the box he was controlling hit Ginny, causing her to roll down the stairs.

"I'm going to hurt her, two idiots!"

"Filthy bastard, are you going to demolish the Black family's mansion?"

Mrs. Weasley and Sirius' mother screamed hysterically.

It's a chaotic morning, though it's not much quieter on weekdays......

When everything was cleaned up, Mrs. Weasley, complaining that her husband had not been able to borrow a car from the Ministry of Magic, walked with the other guards to King's Cross Station with the children.

It probably took more than 20 minutes along the way!

As soon as they entered the station, everyone pretended to be casual and wandered between platforms 9 and 10.

It was only after making sure that none of the Muggles around them were paying attention to it, and then they leaned towards the pillars one by one, and entered the platform of nine and three-quarters.

The Hogwarts Express stopped there as it had done in previous years, spitting steam. The platform was still crowded with people, students and their families who were saying goodbye to each other.

Seeing such a familiar scene, the children finally felt a lot more relaxed - they had to be escorted by guards all the way over, which made them involuntarily nervous.

"Well, remember to take care of yourself." Lupin said, patting them on the arms one by one, "Be careful when writing letters, and if you can't figure out whether to write or not, don't write them at all—remember?" ”

"It's nice to get to know you." Tonks said, hugging Ginny and Hermione, "I'll look forward to our next meeting, I'm sure it won't be too far!" ”

"At least you'll be able to see Maca when you go back, maybe he'll still be in the study!" Hermione said depressedly, "I don't know ...... to come and see us off."

At this moment, the whistle sounded as the train was about to leave, and the little wizards on the platform hurried to the train.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Mrs. Weasley scrambled to give everyone a hug and mistakenly hugged Ron twice.

"If you still forget something, send a letter back and we'll have someone carry it...... Okay, okay, let's get in the car! Hurry up—"

"Goodbye—"

The train started moving, and everyone leaned around the window and waved their hands out, watching as the Weasleys, Tonks, and Lupin shrank and faded, and soon they couldn't see clearly.

"Harry must be waiting impatiently again at school." Ron leaned against the window.

"I'll see you soon, so let him surprise him then!" Hermione said casually, "I mean, you were chosen as a prefect. ”

"Alright," Fred patted Ron on the shoulder, "you don't want to stand here all day talking, do you?" We've got something to do, we'll see you later! ”

With that, he and George hurriedly disappeared into the crowd in the hallway.

The speed of the train was increasing, the scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, and the wind was faintly whistling in my ears.

"Oh, Ginny, let's find a carriage with you first!" Hermione said, turning her head.

"Aren't you supposed to go to the prefect's car?" Ginny smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm in the fourth grade!" Don't treat me like a little girl like my mother......"

With that, she waved her hand and headed down the aisle.

After experiencing the basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets in her first year of school, Ginny may not seem to have changed much on the surface, but this cute girl has actually become much stronger and more independent.

Of course, at home she will always be the youngest child who is spoiled by all the family.

After saying goodbye to Hermione and Ron, Ginny struggled down the hallway, looking in every box she walked by, but it was almost full.

It wasn't until the last carriage that she met a big boy who looked clumsy. He was Harry's classmate and remembered the name ......

"Longbottom?"

"What?"

Neville's round face was drenched in sweat as he dragged the box and clung to his disobedient toad.

"Want to help?" Ginny looked at Neville, "It looks like you're having a hard time dealing with both the toad and the box......"

"Oh! It's Ron's sister! Neville gasped, "I think...... Oh, yes...... So, can you help me get Rifle? ”

"No, no," said Ginny, waving her hand, "I'd rather drag the box for you!" ”

As she spoke, she suddenly squeezed past Neville and looked at the box behind him.

"Huh? Isn't there a place for this? Miss Lovegood alone—"

Neville snorted, not looking like he wanted to go in.

"Don't do that," Ginny laughed, "and while a lot of people say she's a bit weird, she's McLean's girlfriend!" It's all right! ”

She pulled the door open and helped Neville push the box inside, then turned around and dragged her own box inside.

"Hello, Luna!" Ginny said, "Can we sit here?" ”

Luna, who was leaning against the window in a daze, turned her head and looked at Ginny who was talking to her in a trance.

Her long, pale blonde hair shone a hazy glow in the morning sun, and her silver-gray eyes were misty and ethereal.

Luna's appearance is definitely good, although it certainly can't be compared to Beauxbatons's Fleur, but no one can say that she is not beautiful.

However, her mannerisms and dress will always be her minus.

Perhaps for ease of access, she actually stuck her wand behind her ear; She wears a "necklace" strung from a butterbeer cork around her neck and a stack of "Singing Against Tune" on her knees.

Her gaze swept over Ginny, then to Neville, then nodded leisurely.

"Thank you." Ginny smiled at her.

"Do you want a copy of "Singing and Singing"? Maka said you're his friend too......" Luna tilted her head slightly, letting her pale blonde hair slip down her shoulders.

"Oh-no, no thanks." Ginny looked at the magazine in her hand, with strange and suspicious pictures printed on the cover.

"That's a shame......"

Luna put the magazine back on her lap and looked back at Neville.

"I don't know you." She said in a trance.

"I'm in the same year as McLean, if he's still at Hogwarts......" Neville said, but he paused as if he realized something.

However, Luna doesn't seem to care about what he says.

"Where can he go if he's not at Hogwarts?" Luna looked out the window again, looked at the clouds in the sky, and then went in a daze.

The train continued northward, and the otherwise sunny weather gradually changed.

In a few moments, sporadic raindrops beat the window panes, the clouds became a little denser, and the sun showed its face only occasionally.

Hermione and Ron also came from the prefect's car, and after that, they chatted casually, and as time passed, it seemed that the whole day was not so long.

Soon, night fell inadvertently.

"It's time for us to change our clothes." Hermione concluded.

So, everyone hurriedly opened their suitcases and put on their school robes. Hermione and Ron carefully wore their prefect badges on their chests.

Then, the train began to slow down slowly......
