Finally, the train stopped at the Hogsmeade platform, and everyone got off the train one after another, and the scene was chaotic, with owls chirping, cats chirping, and toads croaking as if they were all in the making, and the small platform was bustling with activity.

However, at this moment, a lion-shaped firework suddenly exploded in the sky, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Bang!"

Another firework flew into the sky with a long tail flame.

At this time, the young wizards also noticed Fred who set off the fireworks.

Under everyone's gaze, Fred unhurriedly wrapped a piece of parchment with gold trim around the laborious fireworks, and set it on fire.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang ......"

Ten fireworks exploded one after another, including lions, badgers, and fire dragons...... They ran and jumped in the sky for a long time before dissipating.

"Is this a welcome at Hogwarts?" Some of the freshmen said excitedly.

They didn't know what was going on, and thought Hogwarts had gone out of their way to welcome them to school with fireworks.

I have to say that these fireworks are really beautiful, and looking at those twinkling animals in the sky, they are not as nervous as before.

But others are different.

"See...... Zabini. In the crowd, Malfoy said to a few freshmen around him with some smugness, "I said before that Kyle will definitely destroy these maps, and you still don't believe it, ha......"

He let out a strange laugh, as if mocking their previous self-righteous words.

Beside him, a boy with a little freckles frowned, and said with a stiff neck, "Who knows if this is true, maybe it's a transfiguration spell they used." ”

"Absolutely impossible!" Malfoy snorted coldly, "I believe Kyle, he has won the Special Contribution Award to the school, and he is definitely not that kind of person." ”

"Who knows." The freckled boy pouted, "Don't forget that those people are second-year students, this kind of thing is easy for them." ”

The two insisted on their own words, and neither could convince the other.

At this moment, the tallest Crabbe suddenly noticed something, and reached out to catch a fragment of parchment that had fallen from the sky.

"Draco, look what this is."

Malfoy, who was arguing with Zabini, looked back, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Aha!"

He excitedly grabbed the fragment of parchment in his hand, pointed to the remnants of the golden lines on it, and said, "Look at this, this is real gold, do you still think this is a transfiguration charm?"

And ......"

As he spoke, he brought his face to a black spot on the shards and took a deep breath.

"I accidentally burned a hole in the unicorn tail tapestry at home, and it smelled exactly like this one."

"This ......" Zabini's face turned red, as if he had been slapped twice.

Looking at him, Malfoy became even more proud, and craned his neck and said, "I know, you must not be able to afford a map of twenty Galleons, so you will say that."

It's okay, I've inquired, they still have a few maps of Sico, you can always afford them. ”

"Who do you say can't afford it!"

Zabini was furious, he could accept that he was looking away, but he would never accept being so taunted by Malfoy.

Isn't it only twenty Galleons, and he won't be able to afford it? Who to look down on!

"Wait, I'll buy the most expensive map he has there." Zabini stalked his neck and said, "It must be better than yours!" ”

"Tsk, that's impossible."

Malfoy gave him a contemptuous look and said, "I bought the most expensive one, and Kyle promised that my number would be the highest, even if you were like mine, you would only be at the bottom." ”

"You...... Hum! ”

Zabini only felt a little congestion in his chest, gave Malfoy a vicious look, turned and left.

Malfoy, however, did not care in the slightest, and watched him leave with the attitude of a victor.

At this moment, a light appeared above their heads.

"First-year students! First-year students come here, Harry, are you alright? ”

Hagrid's huge figure appeared on the platform, picking up all the new students as he had done last year.

Kyle and the others head to the other side of the platform, where their second-year students need to take a carriage ride to Hogwarts.

On a rough and muddy path, more than a hundred empty carriages were parked.

It's Thestrals pulling the cart, it's just that most people can't see them.

Kyle can't see them either.

There was such a chance before, it was the werewolf of St. Mungo, but the other party's vitality was too tenacious, and he was finally saved by the healer.

Half-dead apparently can't see Thestrals.

Kyle walked over to a carriage and touched its skinny head with feeling.

The Thestrals, too, rubbed Kyle lightly.

Once they were in the carriage, Thestrals led them to Hogwarts Castle.

There was a faint musty smell and straw smell in the carriage, a bit like a broom room that hadn't been used in a long time.

The carriage drove to two imposing wrought-iron gates, flanked by stone pillars topped by winged boars.

This wild boar is not a magical animal, its image comes from a dream of Rowena Ravenclaw.

In her dream, she was brought to the clearing by the Black Lagoon by a flying boar, and then Hogwarts Castle.

After passing through the gate, the carriage sped down the road to the castle, and through the windows they could clearly see the towers and towers getting closer and closer.

Finally, the carriage came to a rickety stop.

The young wizards got out of the car and discussed the magical experience they had just had as they climbed the stone steps towards the oak doors of the castle.

Torches burned in the large and deep foyer, and on the right, the door to the auditorium was open, and they needed to enter the auditorium before the arrival of the first-year students.

Kyle followed the crowd inside.

He hadn't seen him for two months, and he really missed it a little, and he glanced at the enchanted ceiling with affection.

The weather is nice today, there are no dark clouds and the stars are bright.

Kyle had barely reached the Hufflepuff table, and before he could sit down, he heard a voice shout:

"Kyle, can you come over for a moment?"

Kyle looked up in some surprise to find Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff, standing on the guest of honor and waving at him.

"I'll be here, Professor."

Kyle hurried back and walked through the crowd towards her.

"What do you have to do with me? Professor. Kyle asked.

"The Ministry of Magic sent something here some time ago, saying that it was compensation for the Forbidden Forest incident two months ago."

Professor Sprout smiled and said, "I think it was probably sent to you." ”
