072: New school year, new atmosphere

"Yes." Harry said slowly, his eyes wandering over Malfoy's two henchmen.

"This is Goyle and Crabbe, introduce yourself, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Malfoy coughed lightly and held out his right hand.

Before Harry could say anything, Ron snorted coldly.

Joel was standing aside and pretending to be transparent, and he just wanted to get out of here now, but Goyle and Crabbe, two broad-shouldered weirdos, blocked the door side by side.

Malfoy realized that Harry didn't want to shake his hand, so he quickly retracted his hand, and then treated Ron with a bit of anger, "Heh, you must be the Weasley kid, right?" ”

"The Weasleys are like rats, they live their lives as a litter," Malfoy scoffed mercilessly, his gaze resting on Ron's somewhat whitish robes, "I wonder if your fabric is enough to cover your ass?" ”

Ron was excited to hear this and wanted to punch Malfoy, but Goyle and Crabbe behind Malfoy gave full play to their role as bodyguards, and pushed the thin Ron down the chair with a hard push.

The force was a little strong, and Ron covered his waist and hissed softly.

"Malfoy, you've gone too far!" Joel couldn't help it now, and said out.

"Why are you here?" Malfoy noticed Joel beside Ron and Harry, he didn't remember Joel's name, but he was impressed by his handsome face.

Joel didn't answer him, just stood up straight, although the British rough eating style is not liked by Joel, but it is better to be well nourished, at the age of 12, he is 1.6 meters tall, and Malfoy can only reach the bridge of his nose.

The deterrent effect of height on a child is quite amazing, Malfoy compared the height, wisely took half a step back, and lost half a half in momentum.

Malfoy reacted, pretending to be his most vicious expression and glaring at the three Joel, but there was no movement in his hands.

He was afraid of Joel, and Malfoy knew that Joel was Alan's classmate, who had been studying at Hogwarts for a year, and must have learned a few spells, and they didn't want to ask for trouble.

Malfoy felt that he had lost his identity by walking away in such a gloomy way, so he let out two more harsh words before withdrawing from the cubicle.

"Are you alright?" Joel looked back at Ron.

Ron clutched his waist for a moment, and Joel made sure he was okay before leaving the cubicle.

Back in his cubicle, Alan is chatting with visiting Haylis, while Eddie is teasing Joel's owl Bobby.

Seeing Joel push the door in, Allen, whose face was flushed, finally breathed a sigh of relief and threw Helis, who also had pink cheeks, to Joel.

"What's wrong?" Joel was a little puzzled, and Haylis took two steps to the window to make room for him, and he sat down.

"My brother is so noisy," Haylis complained, "he doesn't talk to me about Quidditch all the time, but I don't understand the terms." ”

"I endured it for seven hours and fifteen minutes, and at last I couldn't take it anymore," Haylis said, holding a copy of Pride and Prejudice in her hand, "and I made a clumsy excuse to sneak out." ”

"What excuse?" After a year of getting along, Joel knows that Helis is a typical people-pleasing personality who usually doesn't turn people down, and he is curious about the excuse that Helis used to escape from Bernie.

Helis blushed and shook her little head, refusing to say why.

Joel couldn't go any further.

"That ......," Eddie coughed twice, "I'm curious, do you spoil your brother so much?" That's a 500 Galleon broomstick. ”

He had saved up for a long time to count the money, and if it weren't for the objective sales of CLBT teaching materials, he wouldn't have been able to get so many gold coins.

Haylis hesitated, "But if I don't buy him this broomstick, he'll cry in public, and my parents will punish me again." ”

"My parents spoil Bernie so much, they almost do everything they want, and make him think that crying can solve everything," Helis said a little too much today, "Originally, he was just tossing around at home, but now that he is at Hogwarts, I have to take care of his school life, he is my brother after all, and it is impossible to leave him alone." ”

"It's only 500 Galleons, so I'll save less jewelry this year." Joel's heart was pantothenic when he said this.

"It's good to be rich." Eddie sighed.

Hogwarts Terry slowed down, and outside the window, the night had taken over the world, and Joel could see the trees that kept receding through the thick night.

"It's time for you to change into your robes," Haylis said of her choice, closing the copy of Pride and Prejudice that she had read for a short time, "We'll see you at the House Director's Table later." ”

She pushes the door open and walks out, and Eddie winkles at Joel, who deliberately ignores him.

The three of them changed into robes and got out of the car, and the luggage and owls were transported directly to the dormitory by the house-elves.

The big man Hagrid guided the first-year students on the platform, as always, and Joel and the three of them followed the crowd down another path, where hundreds of carriages were waiting for themβ€”the creature pulling the cart was called Thestrals, to be exact.

What worries Joel has happened, he can see the whole picture of this amazing creature - Thestrals is skinny, with a dragon-like head, a pair of huge bone wings, and every bone in its body is clearly visible, as if it has never had enough to eat.

In the original book, it had to be someone who had witnessed death to see it, so who had Joel ever witnessed? The memories of the original owner of the body are constantly blurring, the memories that Joel thinks are very important are constantly fading, and the trivial things are remembered very clearly.

"What's pulling the car?" Eddie was curious, neither he nor Alan could see Thestrals, and were getting together to discuss.

Stumbling uphill along the way, the carriage drove past the Hogwarts gates and began to pick up speed, slowing down only when Hogwarts Castle was close at hand.

The trio jumped out of the carriage to join the crowd as they ascended the castle's stone steps and into the brightly lit auditorium.

As the sorting ceremony was about to begin, the students sat down at their respective house tables and began to whisper, Professor Dumbledore sat in the center of the faculty chair with his eyes closed, and all the professors sat upright in the faculty chair except Professor McGonagall, who was going to lead the new students.

"I won't see Professor Wright's beautiful face anymore......" Eddie hung his head, the new professor was a thin man in a large purple turban, dressed like an Arab.

Many students also discovered the new professor, and judging by his appearance alone, this thin man was much worse than Professor White.

And Joel is even more sure that the thin man is not just a face, but even a bad speech in class.
