The drive from London to Hogwarts was a long one, and Koster and Roger didn't talk long before they fell asleep in their seats.

By the time Scott woke up, it was dark outside the window.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, please leave your luggage on the train and we'll take you to the school."

The conductor's voice echoed through all the carriages, the speed of the running train was slowly decreasing, and the final station, Hogsmeade Station, was about to arrive.

Hearing the conductor's voice alert, Scott took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

At this time, Roger was also awakened by the conductor's voice, and he sat in his seat, looking through the glass window at the lights of Hogsmeade in the distance.

"Let's go, Roger."

Scott greeted and stood up and pushed open the compartment door. Roger stood up and tugged at his robe casually, and the two walked to the door of the carriage and waited.

With a long whistle, the train slowly stopped, and the students sitting in the other cubicles also walked out one after another.

The carriage door opened, and Scott and Roger were the first to get out of the car, and they passed the platform and walked towards a row of dilapidated carriages parked outside the platform.

At this time, Rubeus Hagrid, the key keeper of Hogwarts and the caretaker of the hunting grounds, was standing on the other side of the platform, calling out to this year's new students in a loud voice, as in previous years: "First year! First-year students are here! ”

His stature was unusually tall, and he stood out in the crowd. He held the magic lamp in his hand aloft, like a beacon for the new students who didn't know anything.

"Look, little ones, Hagrid is like a mother ostrich with a flock of ducklings." Roger grinned and pointed at the faltering freshmen.

"I remember you were one of the ducklings too." Scott said angrily.

That said, he laughed too.

After all, Roger's parable...... Actually, it's quite appropriate.

The surrounding students were also amused by Roger's words.

Scott naturally turned his head to greet the girl walking behind him.

"Hello, Peneno."

Penelope Crivat, a sixth-grade girl from Ravenclaw, has beautiful long brown curly hair and is a smart and beautiful prefect.

"Good evening, Scott." Peneno covered his mouth and laughed a few more times, "Oh, and Roger, you made me laugh." ”

"Of course, thank you for the compliment, Miss Krivat."

Roger made an exaggerated expression of pride, which made Peneno laugh.

The three got into the same carriage and sat down.

Before the carriage could start, another figure suddenly and quickly climbed up.

"Late ...... Good, Penneno. ”

The tall, skinny red-haired boy sat directly next to Penneno when he got into the car, and he whispered a hello, and both Scott and Roger could hear that his voice was a little nervous.

"Good evening, Percy."

Penneno was much more generous than he was.

Percy Weasley, a Gryffindor student in the same class as Penneno.

[The two of them are definitely tired!] ］

Roger winked at Scott.

[You still need to say it.] ］

Scott gave him a calm look back.

Percy Weasley seemed to notice the other two men in the carriage at this time, and he raised his head slightly, and said with some reserve, "Hello, Davis, Trollope." ”

"Hello, Weasley."

Scott and Roger also responded lukewarmly.

At this moment the carriage started, and Percy withdrew his gaze and whispered to Peneno.

Scott and Roger, who were almost ignored, looked at each other as they began to talk about their respective electives for the new school year.

Scott has taken three electives since the third grade: Ancient Magic, Arithmetic and Divination, and Protecting Magical Beasts, and there are no preparations for the new school year.

But Roger was hesitant to give up a class.

"I regret it, I don't think I really should have chosen a divination class." Roger said bitterly, "As Professor Trelawney said, I don't have the 'Heavenly Eye' at all. ”

Roger chose the divination class because of his interest, but this course is so special that people without a talent for prophecy will never be able to achieve anything by studying hard.

"Maybe you can choose to drop the course." Scott suggested, "Go talk to Professor Flitwick, he should agree to your request." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Roger took his advice.

"Oh, are you talking about divination lessons?" Percy suddenly interjected, "Professor McGonagall says Professor Trelawney is a liar. However, it is easy to get a high score in this course, as long as you 'predict' your own miserable future to Professor Trelawney during the exam, of course, the worse the better. ”

After saying that, he looked at the two boys with some triumph.

Scott and Roger looked at each other, but neither said a word.

At this time, Percy added, "You know, I got twelve certificates in the O.W.L.S (General Wizard Grading Exam) last school year. ”

"Oh, I know you're great, Percy."

Penneno gave Scott and Roger an awkward look, and she began to distract Percy from talking about some of her fun experiences over the summer.

Neither Scott nor Roger spoke again.

When the carriage stopped in front of the gates of Hogwarts Castle, the two hurriedly jumped down first.

As they quickened their pace in the direction of the Great Hall, Roger exclaimed in a low voice, "Beautiful Miss Clearwatt, the flower of Ravenclaw, she really doesn't have a good eye. I understand Weasley was trying to tell us something useful, but he really couldn't speak, did he? ”

Scott smiled and turned his head to look behind him.

A chubby boy was walking briskly from behind, he squeezed directly between Scott and Roger and said excitedly: "Good evening, Scott always seems to be able to notice people out of sight, can you tell me how?" Oh, by the way, you guys were talking about Penneno's boyfriend, Percy Weasley? ”

Roger was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Eddie, you've always been so sensitive to this gossip that I can't help but suspect that you have more than just two ears and a mouth. ”

"Oh, thanks for the compliment, Roger."

Eddie looked up proudly.

"I happen to have the latest exciting news here!"

He triumphantly pulled out a newspaper from his robe and shook it.

"Did you know that 'Savior' Potter and his little friend Weasley didn't make it to the back-to-school train today, and I suspect they came to school in a flying car?"

"Flying cars?"

Roger reached out and snatched the newspaper from Eddie's hand, which was a freshly baked Evening Prophet.

Scott glanced over and the front page of the newspaper read, "Muggles are shocked that the Ford Anglia will fly."

As he walked, Roger read, "Two Muggles in London are sure they saw an old car flying over the post office building...... At noon in Norfolk, Mrs. Hetibellis was drying her clothes...... Mr. Angus Fleet, of Pibers, reported to the police......"

At this time, the surrounding students also came over and stretched out their ears to listen to Roger reciting the newspaper.

Roger quickly read the report and shoved the newspaper back into Eddie's hand, "Eddie, the newspaper doesn't say that the flying car was driven by Porter and Weasley. ”

"But I think that's them." Eddie swears.

"Is this true? Weasley, your brother came to school in a flying car? Someone in the crowd asked Percy a question.

Before Percy could answer, Scott looked up keenly.

Eddie followed Scott's gaze just in time to see a Ford Anglia crashing from the sky and grazing the walls of Hogwarts Castle.

"Look, the flying car is coming." Eddie immediately shouted excitedly.
