Draco Malfoy was accompanied by two other henchmen, named Goyle and Crabbe. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If Draco Malfoy is a little bit of a trickster, these two guys are gangsters who don't have brains and only know how to do things.

Because of Hermione's sharp words, Goyle and Crabbe stood up, as if they wanted to do something to Harry, Hermione, and Neville.

In the face of Goyle and Crabbe, who are much taller than him, Harry, who is usually bullied by his cousin, seems to be a little cringe, and Neville's performance is not very good, only Hermione has a small chest, and she is still not afraid of heaven and earth.

Well, this girl's courage is not small, since she learned kung fu from Chu Xiaobai, she seems to have become even bolder than before.

Goyle and Crabbe raised their fists, Hermione drew her wand, and when the fight was about to start, an older student walked in the aisle at the back of the carriage, just like the one who showed Hermione the way at King's Cross Station, and the current student was also a work-study senior, and his task was to patrol the carriage so that the new students who had not yet seen Hogwarts would not be too noisy like an excited little teacher.

You don't even have to worry about talking loudly, let alone fighting. When they found out about the situation, the senior students immediately rushed over.

Draco Malfoy and his henchmen were reprimanded, and Hermione, Harry, and Neville were driven back to their booths.

As for Neville's toad, the seniors said they would personally help find it, and in short, Hermione and the others were not allowed to go out and walk around again.

"It's really unlucky~."

"What's wrong? Neville's toad found? Ron, who was left in the cubicle, was still eating the chocolate frog, and his mouth was covered with a large circle of chocolate, like he had grown a beard.

"Nope." Shaking her head depressedly, Hermione was still a little unwilling to help Neville, of course, more dissatisfied with Draco Malfoy: "I ran into a little bastard...... ”

Hermione didn't want to say more, and Ron's curiosity could only be alleviated by Harry.

After listening to Harry's description, Ron's face was a little gloomy: "I've heard about his family. Originally, the family was part of the 'man', but after 'the man' disappeared, they were the first to return to us. Their explanation was that they had gone mad, and my dad didn't believe it. He said that when the war began, Malfoy's father easily fell to the side of the underworld without making any excuses. ”

"Their family is not a good person in their bones." Ron summed up as he threw a chocolate frog into his mouth.

"Forget it, I don't miss him." Hermione was visibly impatient: "We'd better hurry up and change into our robes, the senior said we were about to get to ......." ”

"Okay, but can you turn your face away?"

"You know what? You'd better wipe your mouth. Rolling her eyes, Hermione got up and went down the hallway.

Outside the car window, it was already dark, and from a distance, there were mountains and woods under the deep purple sky, which made people feel very mysterious.

The train seems to have slowed down.

Harry and Ron took off their coats and changed into black robes. Ron's robe was a little shorter, revealing his sneakers underneath.

After changing her clothes, Hermione was also called back, and at that moment, a voice sounded in the carriage, like a train in the world, but there was no rustling on the announcement: "The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, please leave your luggage on the car, and we will take you to the school." ”

Five minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the train finally stopped.

The students who had been waiting in the aisle pushed and shoved, rushed to the door of the train, and descended to a small dark platform like dumplings.

There was a chill in the air, and Harry, who wasn't dressed thick enough, shivered, and Ron and Neville were slightly better, but they also shrunk their necks. Only Hermione, like a nobody, looked at her surroundings curiously after getting out of the car.

A lamp shook above the freshmen's heads, and the four heard a familiar voice shouting above their heads: "First-year freshmen~!" First-year freshmen are coming here~! Harry, come over here, are you alright? ”

Subconsciously raising his head, Harry saw that above the crowded sea of people, Hagrid, who was 'superior', was waving to him with a smile on his face: "Come on, follow me, are there any new first-year students?" Watch out for the soles of your feet, all right~! First-year freshmen come with me~! ”

"Hagrid, where's Uncle Chu?" Approaching Hagrid's side and following him forward, Hermione couldn't help but ask.

"Chu? He was in the car to check if anyone had been left behind. You know, some kids may oversleep~. ”

The four, along with the other first-year freshmen, followed Hagrid, stumbling and stumbling down a steep, narrow path. It was pitch black on both sides of the path, and it seemed that there were dense woods on both sides.

A little nervous, a little nervous, a little excited, no one spoke, except for the occasional sniff or two from Neville, who had lost his toad.

"Turn this corner, and you'll soon see Hogwarts for the first time." After walking for a while, Hagrid turned around and shouted.

The response was a loud and excited 'Oh~~~! ’

After a while, the new students finally came to the end of the path, and no one expected that at the end of this narrow path suddenly opened a black lake, and on the high hillside on the other side of the lake stood a majestic castle, with spires on the castle, and the windows were lit through, and under the twinkling starry sky, it all seemed so dreamy.

Cross the lake to reach the castle, where Hogwarts has a fleet of boats for the new students.

Yes, only the new students can enjoy the boat ride, and the old students will all go directly to the castle by other means.

"Only four people can sit on each boat~!" While beckoning the freshmen to get on the boat, he occupied a small boat himself. Well, Hagrid weighed so much that he could take more than four freshmen by himself.

Hermione, Neville, Harry, and Ron, just four of them, shared a small boat.

"Are you all seated? Well, we're off~! ”

At Hagrid's command, the boats, without a boatman, moved on their own, rowing across the mirror-like lake.

The closer you are to the castle, the more oppressive you feel. When you reach the foot of the castle, you look up at the towers as if you are about to pierce the sky.

"Bow your head~!" As the first boats approached the cliff, Hagrid shouted.

Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried the new students through an ivy curtain that covered the entire front of the cliff to a secluded open entrance. Behind the entrance is a pitch-black tunnel, through which it appears to come to the underground of the castle and reach a place that resembles an underground dock.

The little turnips jumped out of the boat and put their ranks together under Hagrid's command.

"Whose toad is this?" Chu Xiaobai, who followed the team, was responsible for checking and filling in the gaps, and when he was inspecting a certain boat, he saw a toad lying on the bottom of the boat, and Chu Xiaobai picked it up while shouting to the freshmen who had just stood in the line.

"Thank God~~! Radford~! Neville shouted in ecstasy with his arms raised.

Harry and Ron were also happy, but it was obviously Hermione who was the happiest.

"Uncle Chu, thank you for helping Neville find his toad~!"

"Neville? Hermione, have you made a new friend? Chu Xiaobai stretched out his right hand and touched Hermione's head, while his left hand was handed to Neville, handing the toad he had just found into his hand.

I hadn't thought about it before, but now, seeing Neville, Chu Xiaobai's heart suddenly had a new thought - can I have more contact with this little guy?

In the Harry Potter films, Neville is just a small supporting character with little weight, but in fact, in the original book, he is a very famous "big man" - J.K. Rowling set two conditions for the "savior" through the mouth of prophecy professor Trelawney, first, he must be born in a family that successfully resisted Voldemort three times, and then, he must be born in July. In fact, not only did Harry's background meet these two conditions, but Neville's background also met both of them.

In other words, Neville almost became the 'boy who never died', and if it weren't for Voldemort's wishful thinking of treating Harry as his mortal enemy, he might have replaced Harry as the main character of the story.

If Harry Potter is the son of luck, does Neville also have a certain degree of luck? After all, in a sense, he seems to be able to be regarded as a 'stand-in' or 'shadow warrior', although not as important as the real protagonist, but compared to other supporting roles, his 'status' seems to be a little higher.

There is another reason.

Harry had no parents, so Harry didn't have to worry about his parents all day; Harry didn't have a warm home, and Harry didn't know he was a wizard, so he could be a 'Dudley's boxing lob in peace'. But what about Neville? He had parents, but the parents were tortured into madness; He has a family, but his family's doubts about his abilities hurt him deeply.

If children without parents have a tragic fate, what about children who have parents and whose parents do not know themselves?

Anyway, in Chu Xiaobai's opinion, Neville is more pitiful than Harry, and needs more care and care than Harry.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaobai showed kindness to Neville, and he stretched out his hand to Neville first: "Neville, hello, I hope you and Hermione can become good friends." By the way, I'm Hermione's master, call me Uncle Chu, or call me Chu directly, if there is any difficulty in life, you can ask Hermione for help, of course, you can also tell me directly. ”
