Magical Studies at Hogwarts

While Ike was still thinking about what kind of spell to create, time quietly came to the first day of school at Hogwarts.

Harry, who had been having a bad time throughout the holidays, couldn't wait to return to school.Of course, what made him even more happy was that Sirius also came to see him off.

His transformation into a black dog did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Except for the people in the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione and Ron, no one knew that he was an illegal Animagus.

He was so happy that he kept wagging his tail around Harry.

"Damn it, Sirius, be more restrained, you are more like a dog..." Mrs. Weasley said softly, but Sirius's two front paws were still holding the suitcase.

"Get in the car, kids." Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry and the others one by one, urging them.Harry and the others carried their luggage and hurriedly boarded the Hogwarts Express, waving to Mrs. Weasley, Moody, and Tonks outside the window.

"Let's go to the box!" Harry looked very excited and said to Hermione and Ron.

"We...Ron and I have to go to the prefects' box first, you know..." Hermione said with embarrassment, "But we won't stay there for too long. The letter says that we are only accepting boys separately. Instructions from the Student Council President and Student Council President, and then patrol the corridors from time to time.”

"Okay, see you later." Harry nodded, said goodbye to Hermione and Ron, and walked towards the end of the carriage with Ginny.

The carriage was almost full of people. Along the way, Harry saw many people holding a copy of the Daily Prophet and pointing at him when they saw him. This reminded him of the bad things he had done during the summer vacation. Memories, such as that interrogation at the Ministry of Magic.

Finally, in the last carriage, they found a box and rescued Neville, who was in a hurry.

There was another person in the box, Ginny's good friend Luna.Harry actually didn't have much contact with this crazy girl who was famous in Ravenclaw. Speaking of which, he also felt that there was something wrong with this girl's mind.

But obviously, Ginny didn't think so. They had been good friends for many years.

A few people chatted and waited for the food cart to arrive. They bought many snacks.After about an hour, Hermione and Ron finally came over.

"Exhausted." Ron sat down next to Harry, reached for a chocolate frog and ate it, then fell back on the chair with his eyes closed and let out meaningless groans.Hermione didn't seem to be very interested either. She held Crookshanks and sat next to Ginny, stroking her cat.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"Each student has two prefects, one male and one female." Ron still had his eyes closed, "Guess who is in Slytherin?"

"Malfoy." Harry blurted out without even thinking.

"Yes, the other one is Pansy," said Ron.

"Where are the other houses?" Harry asked again.

"Hufflepuff's are Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott, Ravenclaw..." Ron opened his eyes and glanced at Hermione opposite.

"It's Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil." Hermione said calmly.

Ron winked at Harry, and Harry understood instantly.Ravenclaw and Ike seemed to have become a taboo for Hermione. Except for the night when she first arrived at the Black Mansion, in fact, he and Ron never mentioned these two words again.

"Padma, you and she even attended the Yule Ball." A vague voice sounded, and everyone turned their faces, but it was Luna who had been holding "The Quibbler."

"She wasn't having a good time, and she thought you were treating her badly because you refused to dance with her." Luna's eyes wandered as she said, "Is the male prefect Goldstein? I thought it was Strider... …”

"Luna..." Ginny pulled Luna's arm. She looked over blankly, looking at Ginny's mouth movements, and then she realized, "Ah! I forgot, Strider has already Gone."

After saying that, he hid himself back behind "The Quibbler."

The atmosphere in the box suddenly became depressing, with Harry, Ron and Neville not even daring to express their feelings. Ginny was also sitting upright, just using her peripheral vision to secretly glance at Hermione who seemed to be casually beside her.

Hermione petted her cat, looking very calm.

"What's wrong?" Hermione said.

"Nothing!" Several people shook their heads in unison, including Luna who hid her head behind the magazine.

Seeing this scene, Hermione burst out laughing. She grabbed two handfuls of Crookshanks with her hands, grabbing it a little anxiously. After scratching it twice, it lay back on Hermione's lap.

It woke up another little guy. Jimmy crawled out from Hermione's collar, rubbed his little eyes, and then got back in.

"What is that?" Harry and Ron asked in unison. This was the first time they had seen this guy.

"The bowtruckle." Neville hugged Leif and whispered.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere became better again, but soon it was broken again.

The door of the box was violently opened, and Malfoy and his two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, blocked the door and looked at Harry coldly.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked provocatively.

"Be polite, Potter, or I will shut you up!" Malfoy said in a long voice, "I am different from you. I am a prefect, and I have the right to punish others."

"Really? You and I are different. You're a loser, so leave!" Harry didn't show any weakness and retorted directly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tell me how it feels, how it feels to lose to Weasley. He is a prefect and you are not." Malfoy sneered, staring at Harry.

"That's enough, Malfoy." Hermione's voice was calm, but Malfoy instantly stopped sneering.Turning to look at Hermione, she saw those plain, watery eyes without saying a word.

"We'll see, Potter!" With these harsh words, he took Crabbe and Goyle away.

Once again, there was an awkward atmosphere in the box.Harry and others looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say to break the embarrassment without creating more embarrassment.

"It's time to go, Ron. You don't want to stay here forever. You have to go on patrol." Hermione put down Crookshanks, stood up from her seat, greeted Ron, and opened the box door. Went out first.

"Oh...wait for me!" Ron came to his senses, shouted, put the chocolate frog in Harry's hand, and ran out.

This time, the two didn't come back until the train was almost at the station.After such a long time, the embarrassment finally disappeared, but we only chatted for a few words before leaving again.As prefects, they have to help maintain order.

Harry and others changed their clothes, put away their luggage and pets, and then followed the crowd off the train and walked outside the station.On the way, they saw Hermione and Ron standing on both sides of the road, helping a woman they had never seen before get the new students onto the boat.

"Who is that? Where's Hagrid?" Harry asked.

"I don't know." Ginny shook her head, holding the cage with Crookshanks in her hands, "Let's go quickly, don't block the road."

Harry quickly quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the carriage.After waiting for a while, Hermione and Ron came over. This was something they had agreed to do in the car.

"Come on, I'm starving. I feel like I can kill a whole turkey." Ron complained as he took the lead in getting on the carriage, and the others also got on.

When everyone got on the carriage, just like in previous years, it started walking on its own, carrying the students towards the castle.
