Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 6 Arriving at School

In the compartment at the rear of the car, Ron was telling Harry vividly about the famous ball games he and his brothers went to. Augustus listened to Ron's exaggerated voice while looking down at History of Magic .Just as he was getting to the highlight of the game, the compartment door was pushed open again, but this time it wasn't Neville, the boy who had lost his toad, or Hermione Granger.

Three boys entered, the one in the middle Harry recognized immediately as the pale boy he had met in Madam Malkin's robe shop.He watched Harry with far greater interest than he had in Diagon Alley.

"Is that true?" he asked. "Everyone on the train is talking about Harry Potter being in this compartment. So that's you. Right?" "Yes." Harry said. Said, he looked at the other two boys, both of them were short and pudgy, and they were particularly ugly, standing on either side of the little boy, one on each side, almost like a pair of his bodyguards.Augustus still looked down at the book, as if he didn't notice anyone coming in. "Oh, this is Crabbe, this is Goyle." The pale boy noticed that Harry was looking at them, and said casually, "My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." Ron coughed softly Nodding to keep from laughing out loud.Draco Malfoy looked at him. "You think my name is ridiculous, don't you? Don't ask who you are. My father told me that the Weasleys are all red-haired and freckled, and there are too many children to support."

He turned to Harry and said, "You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don't want to befriend the odd kind of people. I can help you with that."

"Draco, you're promoting yourself as a pure-blood nobleman again." Hearing this, Augustus finally raised his head and chuckled at Malfoy.

"Master Augustus? Why are you here?" Malfoy, who hadn't noticed the third person in the carriage, asked in surprise when he looked at Augustus's standard blond hair and silver eyes.

"I'm also a freshman, why, I'm not welcome to Hogwarts?" Augustus waved his hand casually and said casually.

"How come, it's an honor for this school that you can come to Hogwarts, I just didn't expect that the noble you would be in the same box as this lowly Weasley." Malfoy flattered Augustus While talking, he gave Ron a disgusted look, and his expression changed so quickly that it was astonishing.

Harry and Ron stood up abruptly.Ron was as red as his red hair.

"Say it again," he said.

"Oh, you want to fight, don't you?" Malfoy sneered.

"Unless you get out of here now," said Harry, who wasn't as brave as he looked, because Crabbe and Goyle were much bigger than he and Ron.But he always felt that Augustus would not just ignore them, it was just an intuition.

Sure enough, looking at Malfoy standing awkwardly at the door of the carriage, Augustus put down the book in his hand, and said to Malfoy meaningfully: "Okay, Draco, don't continue to make trouble, what you do will only make people It won't do you or your family any good if others look down on you."

To Harry and Ron, this passage sounded like an elder teaching a junior who didn't understand etiquette, but what surprised them was that Malfoy obviously respected Augustus, and after listening to it, he just sternly He glared at Harry Ron, then bowed to Augustus, and led Crabgore out of the carriage.

"I didn't expect that kid Malfoy to be so obedient." Ron whispered to Harry, and at the same time he looked at Augustus who was looking down at the book, with a bit of envy and fear mixed in.

The train slowed down and finally stopped.Passengers pushed and shoved, rushed to the door, and descended onto a dark and small platform.Harry shivered from the cold of the night.Then a lamp flicked over the students' heads, and Harry heard a familiar voice shout, "First Years! First Years this way! Harry, this way, how are you?"

Hagrid smiled on his bearded face above the crowd of thousands. "Come on, come with me, are there any first-year students? Watch out for your feet, okay! First-year students come with me!"

They followed Hagrid slippery and slippery, unlike the stumbling of the freshmen, Augustus walked steadily down a steep and narrow path as if he could see the terrain around him clearly.It was pitch black on both sides of the path, and no one spoke.Only the boy who had lost the toad had an occasional sniff or two.

"Turn this corner, and you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time," Hagrid called back.Then there was a loud "Oh--!" A black lake suddenly opened at the end of the narrow path.On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic castle with spiers and windows shining under the starry sky. "No more than four per boat!" Hagrid shouted, pointing to a fleet of small boats moored to the shore.Augustus calmly stepped onto a small boat, followed by Harry and Ron, and the remaining vacant seat was snatched by the carefree Hermione.

"Mr. Augustus, we meet again." Hermione, who looked at Augustus on the boat and obviously ignored Ron and Harry, said in surprise.

"Yes, Miss Granger, what a coincidence." Augustus replied with a slight smile.

. "All aboard?" Hagrid called, taking the boat by himself. "That's good...go ahead!" A group of small boats drove forward across the lake as smooth as a mirror.Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle soaring into the sky.As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower over them. "Heads down!" Hagrid yelled as the first boats approached the cliff.All bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the curtain of ivy that covered the face of the cliff to the secret open entrance.They followed a dark tunnel that seemed to go beneath the castle, and at last they came to what looked like an underground pier, and then climbed up a patch of gravel and small pebbles.

They climbed a tunnel in the rock by the light of Hagrid's lantern, and at last they reached a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.Looking at this huge castle, in the silver pupils of Augustus, sections of huge data streams were flashing quickly, as if he had obtained some treasure, the corner of Augustus' mouth raised a beautiful arc.

Then they climbed a flight of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oaken door. "Is it all here?" Hagrid raised a huge fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.In this way, the mysterious Hogwarts is about to be displayed in front of the freshmen.
