Snape's face shuddered at the sound of shouting behind him, and he stopped.

Gryffindor, that damn obnoxious combo...... Barton? How could a Muggle wizard who lives in London come to Malfoy Manor to do outside Malfoy Manor at the beginning of school for some reason!

Slytherin's nature led him to make the guess that he could fill an entire sheet of parchment full of intrigue and intrigue in three seconds, and considering that Brandi had a close connection with Dumbledore over the summer, most of the speculation was not surprisingly related to Dumbledore.

How many years have passed, and Dumbledore is still not at ease with me...... would actually use such childish means to test his relationship with Lucius. He smiled self-deprecatingly, then grimaced and looked back at the dusty path behind him.

"Barton, what are you doing here?" He reached into his robe, slowly pulled out his wand, and said vigilantly. "If I remember correctly, you should sit in the carriage at this time and flirt with your nasty lady. Or do you-"

His eyes narrowed maliciously.

"You've finally found yourself unfit for wizarding and you're planning to go back to your colorful Muggle world?"

Brandi panted and hurried from behind him, and Snape watched as he panted and put down the box, wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead.

"Professor...... I—I missed the Hogwarts Express! Something went wrong with that platform...... I took my luggage and went inside...... It turned out to be teleported here. Can you take me back to Hogwarts? You should be going to the opening ceremony now, too. His eyes rolled and he said quickly.

Something went wrong with the platform... Scold...... Is this idiot going to lie?

The corners of Snape's mouth twitched involuntarily, and from the depths of his heart he expressed disdain and ridicule for his stupid speech.

"That's really sad news. I sympathize with that, but ......" he looked at Brandi with a look of anticipation. He likes this feeling of falling into a well.

"But why should I take you with me? Mr. Patton. Snape turned around and looked at Brandi mockingly. I remember your disobedience and lack of etiquette in Potions class, do you think that the Slytherin Headmaster would be kind enough to bring a troublesome spirit back to Hogwarts? Or do you think you have enough reason to convince me to take you with you? ”

The bad student in front of him hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Sorting Hat, it's the Sorting Hat!"

Snape was stunned, the Sorting Hat? That's some weird reason.

"When I left school for the summer, I forgot to return my sorting hat to the principal's office...... If he doesn't make it to the Sorting House for a while, Professor Dumbledore may be bothered. He smiled sheepishly and made an astonishing statement.

………… And that's surprisingly good. Snape moved his mouth, realizing that he really didn't have any reason to refuse him. So he had to blush, and reluctantly let Brandy drag the box and grab his left hand.

He had planned to go to Tumbledown Alley to buy some forbidden medicinal herbs that were not very good-looking, but the appearance of this oil bottle only dispelled this idea. Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help but glare at him viciously.

"I'll just say it once, Mr. Patton. Hold on to my arm, the retinue doesn't feel as comfortable as doing an express job. ”

"Hold on to your arms......" Brandi muttered, nodding his head.

"Well then—" Snape looked like he wanted to wave his wand, but he paused abruptly and asked a casual question. "By the way, Patton, where did you see us?"

Brandi was nervously clutching his arm, and when he heard this question, he subconsciously answered. "It's on the side of the road, sir—uh..."

He immediately realized his mistake, and he looked at Snape in horror. Snape's wand was pointed straight at him. "Correct, Barton—"

"Forget it!"

A milky white spell struck him in the chest. Snape watched Brandi with satisfaction, his eyes slowly changing from surprise to confusion and confusion. His tone was surprisingly soft, "Then Barton, can we go?" ”

Brandi looked at Snape, who had just recited a spell to himself inexplicably, with a confused face, didn't he say the wrong thing? Why did Snape suddenly feel so good, was the lady named Narcissa his lover?

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded. "Ready, Professor."

Snape waved his wand, and in the blink of an eye, it was pitch black. The horrific squeeze he had experienced only minutes ago had tormented Brandy's nerves again, his eyeballs squeezing back into his skull, and his eardrums pressed into his brain. And then—he landed on solid ground and began to gulp in the hard-earned fresh air. It took a few seconds for Brandi to come to his senses, the stone path was gone, and the gates of the Hogwarts paddock stood in front of him.

He became the first student to reach Hogwarts.

Not surprisingly, when he opened the castle gate with his luggage in tow and saw a worried Professor McGonagall, her expression looked like she was going to take a bite of him.

"Merlin is on top! Brandi, do you know how worried we are about the three of you! Professor McGonagall said viciously, "Weasley's father just sent an urgent letter to Hogwarts saying that you didn't board the Hogwarts Express through the platform, and that your enchanted car is gone. I wonder if you're stupid enough to report to Hogwarts in a flying car...... I'm glad you guys have a bit of brains. Well, where are Potter and Weasley? ”

Professor McGonagall finished speaking aggressively, only to find that Brandy looked inexplicable in front of her, and there was no one else behind him except for the ill-intentioned Snape. She was starting to panic.

"Brandy, you can't be on your own."

Brandi blinked innocently and nodded at Professor McGonagall, her face immediately turned green.

After Brandy had put his luggage away and his sorting hat had been handed over to the state, he was once again given the privilege of having lunch with the faculty. Professor Dumbledore was among them, but the atmosphere at the lunch wasn't very cheerful. Professor Dumbledore put on a serious face the whole time, and Professor McGonagall was always distracted with poking the baked potatoes on the plate with a fork, and it was clear that both were worried about their students - by the time the Daily Prophet was delivered to the teachers by the owls that day, Brandy's lunch was even more eerie.

Professor Snape, who was sitting across from him, looked at the newspaper as if he had noticed something interesting. He was able to grin with such a pleasant smile, and Brandy looked a little creepy - he stood up casually, looked like he wanted to pick up the roast chicken fillet next to Snape, and glanced at the newspaper. A line of headings was written in large, bold bold bold letters: Ford Anglia can fly, Muggles are amazed.

There's also a picture below of a car that Brandy is so familiar to him as it staggers in the sky, with two or three Muggles pointing at him in surprise.

"Oops...... I remember that your little Weasley's father worked for the Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items. Noticing Brandy's inquiring eyes, Snape uncharacteristically handed him the paper, smiling like a scheming old fox. Tsk, I really didn't expect my son to ............"

Brandi read the newspaper carefully, black lines all over his head.

Sure enough, until night fell, the students came to sit down in the auditorium in twos and threes. Brandi couldn't see either Harry or Ron, which made him feel a little choked. Even a petite girl suddenly hung on her body didn't react immediately.

"Hey~Brandy!" Parvati raised his little face and yelled proudly on his back. "Did you miss me? I was going to bring you some delicious pastries, but when I mentioned them in the car, they were all eaten by Hermione... Well, it's all her... She said that it would be a waste of food to feed you, and that it would be better to let her grow some meat! That's right, it's all her! ”

"What are you talking about! Silly girl! Where am I fat! ”

"It's obvious that you didn't hold back your greed, stupid sister."

The red-faced Hermione and the expressionless Padma suddenly burst out of the crowd, and out of nowhere, they reached out and ripped the 'weight' off Brandi's body - piggybacking on her little skull and knocking two violent shivers on her little skull.

"Woo, bullying? Bully! Parvati clutched her head, sat beside Brandi with teary eyes, and whispered in a whisper of indignation. The supple ponytail flicked and flicked, and the hairband that Brandi had given swayed silver in the candlelight.

Brandy's mood improved after such a fuss, and he smiled and took out a piece of sandwich toffee from a London candy store from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper, and shook it a little under Parvati's nose - it was done.

The silly girl immediately jumped up vigorously, and swallowed the toffee in one gulp. If Brandi hadn't stopped in time, maybe her fingers would have been bitten off.

"By the way, what about Brandi, Harry and Ron? You're coming to school together...... But I didn't see you in the car. ”

He glanced at Parvati, who was shaking his calves and falling into his own candy dreams. Hermione shook her head feebly, then asked quizzically.

Brandi sighed and spread out the noon issue of The Daily Prophet. "Still in the car...... This one. ”

Hermione stuck her head over, and when she saw the photo, her expression was like a ghost.

Just as they were about to have a heated discussion about the sudden closure of the platform, there was a sudden and strange silence around them. They quickly stopped talking and looked at the teacher's seat. They were surprised to see that the first-year freshmen didn't know when they were stacked over there, and Brandi saw Salph and Luna at a glance, and the two of them were standing in a corner holding hands. Noticing Brandy's gaze, Salph only smiled shyly at him, but Luna made an extremely bold gesture - she actually waved at herself. For a moment, the students of the four houses looked at the girl with strange expressions, and then followed her beckoning direction to look at the Gryffindor long table.

Brandi almost burrowed under the table without embarrassment.

"Brandi? Do you know? Hermione asked curiously.

"yes......" Brandi sat upright, pretending that Luna wasn't looking at her. The little girl I met during the summer vacation had a good relationship with Sharf. ”

"Salph!"

Parvati suddenly leaned his face closer, looking wary. "Is that the sister you said you wrote about?"

"Yes......" Brandi looked at Parvati, who was burning for some reason, and said something in his mouth, 'It's just a tie', 'Parvati you're the best', and 'half-siblings are all cults', confused.

"Quiet!"

Just then, Professor McGonagall tapped the silver cup. She placed a quadrangular stool in front of the freshman and put the sorting hat on it. Brandi heard Percy whisper beside her. "I don't know what the Sorting Hat is going to do this year, its lyrics have been getting longer and longer in the past two years...... Sure enough, it was stifled by the boring placement of play? ”

So he patted his chest proudly and said loudly. "Hmph, this time it must have surprised you, but I thought of the lyrics with it."

Ha? The lion cubs in the neighborhood looked at him in disbelief, and Brandi felt satisfied.

Then the hat twisted, and under the gaze of the crowd, he began to sing. It was something that had never been done before, another style of excitement and lightness.

Like a lion striding through the wasteland, bravely and quietly crossing the horizon

Full of enthusiasm waiting to be discovered

The wise way is at your feet, even if the young eagle is not afraid

Spread your wings and soar into the sky

New opportunities have arisen, how can we be afraid

Let go of everything, carry out the faith, let me see your heart clearly

Smile at the Sorting House, dreams come true, and it's not far away

Pluck up the courage to close your eyes, and your wish will come true

Like a wolverine walking through a field and a thorny road, it never compromises

Perseverance and unity can defeat all

The nature of the snake is insidious and cunning, and the bloodline is pure and ambitious

Whatever means are needed to achieve the goal

A fork in the road in life has appeared, how can it be stagnant

Puff up your chest and stride forward in a real moment

Smile down the brim of your hat and make your dreams come true, and it's not far away

Pluck up the courage to open your eyes, and miracles will surely happen

After singing, there was a dead silence. The audience applauded. Brandi saw countless pairs of bulging dead fish bubbles and the Weasley brothers clapping their hands excitedly. In the teacher's seat, Dumbledore looked at him with a complicated expression, his lips squirmed, and Brandi inexplicably understood what he meant.

In this way, Brandi managed to lose twenty points for Gryffindor the day before school started......
