The man behind Hogwarts

The atmosphere in the box was warm.

There were many snacks piled on the table, and Cedric opened a pack nonchalantly.

Suddenly there was a knock on the box door——

A head with disheveled hair poked its head in. Before she could see the environment in the box clearly, Hermione asked like she was reciting lines: "Excuse me, have you seen a toad? That's Neville's pet."

Evelin held a piece of dried fruit in her mouth and looked at Hermione with bright starry eyes. When she saw Hermione's appearance, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Fran frowned. He was talking just now and was interrupted by Hermione.

"Which college are you from?"

Fran said coldly: "What a toad, no one can see it, get out!"

Although he is harmless in front of William and others, he is a Slytherin after all, and a Slytherin with strong strength, good grades, and a bad personality.

Hermione didn't need to answer before everyone knew she was a new student.

If it weren't for the fact that Hermione was a girl, Fran's tone might have been even worse.

"Hey, don't be so fierce, I'm a girl." Evelin smiled sweetly, and then said to Hermione gently:

"If your pet is lost, it's best to tell the conductor, they may be able to help you."

Fran held his forehead helplessly. Apart from William, Evelin was the only person he found difficult to deal with. "Did you hear that? Go tell the conductor, why are you standing there?"

Evelin pursed her lips and hesitated to speak.

He was dissatisfied because of Fran's attitude, but also happy because of Evelin's thoughtful words...

What surprised him most was that William was sitting next to Evelin. He was probably thinking about something and didn't pay attention to the conversation between them.

‘Should I call him? What if he doesn’t respond to me? ’

'This man named Fran also has a bad personality, almost like Draco. ’

'Evelin is indeed very good, I read that right...'

Fran stood up and walked to Hermione, waving his hand in front of her eyes, "Hey! What are you thinking about, are you stupid?"

"You're stupid!" Hermione complained dissatisfied, looking directly at the boy who was still thinking, and mustered up the courage to shout: "William!"

William came out of his reverie.

After weighing the pros and cons, he made a preliminary decision on which magic to choose for deduction.

Seeing Hermione standing at the door, I was subconsciously curious.

In an instant, he understood that it might be about looking for toads. He remembered this scene clearly.

"Hermione, long time no see." William stood up to say hello and casually looked at the two boys standing behind her. One of them looked familiar, "Who are you?"

"We are helping Neville find his pet, a toad." Hermione said excitedly.

Sure enough, what should happen will still happen.

William thought to himself.

Turning around, he asked Evelin: "Have you seen the toad?" All three of them shook their heads, and Fran said: "Just now I suggested that she go find the conductor."

"Good advice!" William agreed, "Fran, do you have anything to do?"

Fran was puzzled: "No...what's wrong?"

"Hermione and the others are new students. They are not familiar with the place. They probably don't know who the conductor is. You go and help them."

"Uh... well."

Fran turned around to see Cedric eating the snack proudly, and snatched it from his hand, "Don't finish it! Evelyn, watch him for me."

"Hermione, right? Come with me."

Fran left with the three little ones. William sat down again and was about to concentrate on continuing to think when Evelin whispered:

"That girl's name is Hermione? I remember when we first met in Diagon Alley, you mistook me for Hermione. Is that her?"

Ok?

William's eyes widened, looking at Evelin's half-smiling expression, two beads of sweat appeared on his head.

If she hadn't reminded him, William would have forgotten it.

In order to test whether the system would issue tasks, I had a conversation with Evelin on the grounds of 'mistaken identity'.

It was just a joke...

William suddenly felt that ‘the memory of the dead suddenly attacked me’.

"You remember wrong, she and I just met..." William immediately calmed down and calmly brought the topic to Professor McGonagall's entrustment of him as a tour guide.

"Is it……"

"It must be!"

Outside the box, after Hermione told the story of searching for Leif, Fran said casually: "Since you know William, why bother asking in each box."

Hermione pretended to smile and didn't answer.

She clearly remembered how bad Fran's attitude was at first, but now he was polite and courteous, like an aristocrat.

Hermione wasn't used to it.

The three little ones followed Fran step by step. They looked at each other several times with different expressions.

I saw that Fran did not go to the front of the car to find the conductor. Instead, he knocked on several adjacent boxes and said to the person on the opposite side:

"Stop playing now and do something for me."

"A toad is missing. It should still be in the car. Let's split up and find it."

"After you find it, send it to box number 12..." Fran looked at Neville: "Did you just say number 12?"

Neville nodded: "Yes, yes."

In less than three minutes, more than a dozen people were sent out by Neville, some to the front of the car and some to the back of the car, and the corridor suddenly became lively.

Hermione and the three of them looked at each other in stunned silence.

"Didn't you say to ask the conductor for help..."

Fran sneered: "There is no need to ask the conductor for such a trivial matter. It can be done easily. Okay, stop wandering around and go back to your box to wait for the result."

Terry's mouth remained open until Fran disappeared from sight.

"Is this still possible?" Terry looked at Hermione with countryman eyes, "He asked us to find the conductor just now. Did he lie to us?"

"Idiot!" Hermione said helplessly: "He didn't lie to us, it's just that we can only find the conductor, but he doesn't need it!"

He can directly ask a dozen people to help him with things...

Hermione's thoughts were confused.

A student with a bad attitude and a love for pets can actually command so many people. Is he some kind of student cadre?

But Hogwarts doesn’t just have prefects and student council presidents?

and also.

Fran can command so many people alone...

Then William who commands Fran—what is his identity?

"I must know more about it after entering the school." Hermione murmured to herself and asked Neville and the others to return to their box.

ten minutes later.

Two students held a toad and handed it to Neville. After he identified it, he determined that it was his Leif.

Hermione thanked the two people again and again, and the two people casually said you're welcome, and at the same time reminded: "We will go to school soon, remember to change into wizard robes."

Only then did Hermione notice that the two of them were wearing black wizard robes with green edges.

Black with green edges?

This should be the wizard robe of Slytherin House, which means these people are all Slytherins.

"No wonder." Hermione suddenly realized that no wonder Fran gave him such an arrogant and bad first impression. He turned out to be from Slytherin House, which could explain it.

"Neville, which academy do you want to go to?"

"I can do it, as long as I'm not Slytherin." Neville hugged Leif gently, thought for a moment and then said: "My grandma wants me to go to Gryffindor, and my uncle thinks I'm suitable for Hufflepuff. My godfather thinks the best choice is Ravenclaw... I don't know what to choose."

"What about you Hermione? You must like Ravenclaw if you are so smart."

Hermione retracted her shocked jaw. After hearing Neville say a long series of words just now, she suddenly felt a little sorry for the child.

"I think both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are fine." Hermione said longingly, then suddenly remembered something and added: "As long as it's not Slytherin."

"What about you Terry?"

"Haha, of course the place I want to go to the most is Ravenclaw."

Terry said mysteriously: "Do you know that wizard newspapers have predicted that Hogwarts will become an era of Ravenclaw prosperity in recent years, because they have the evil genius William Sides among them."

Hearing what he said, Hermione was also a little moved.

Just listen to Terry continue to 'break the news': "Harry Potter has entered school this year. Perhaps only the famous one can compete with William... This is what is written in the wizarding newspapers."

"Harry? That's right!" Hermione stood up and left the box quickly.

He found the box where Harry was and reminded him: "We'll be arriving at school soon, so put on your wizard robes in advance."

"Thank you Hermione." Harry thanked him.

……

……

Dirty - dirty -

A high-pitched whistle sounded, and the Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down.

At this time, the sky outside the window was already a little dark. It was around 7 or 8 o'clock. Looking out through the window, we could no longer see any technological creations in ordinary people's cities, but dense and deep jungles and candlelit villages.

Trumpets sounded.

"We are about to arrive at Hogsmeade Station. All passengers, please be ready to get off."

"You are not allowed to leave without permission after getting off the bus. You must follow the instructions of the guide and just bring your belongings with you. The staff will send you to your dormitory with a salute."

"Hogsmeade Station - here!"

The horn fell into silence, and the little wizard in the train immediately spoke excitedly.

Hermione listened to Terry's excited and trembling voice. She tried her best to keep a calm expression, but her fluttering eyelashes still revealed her uneasiness.

There was only dim yellow light in the box.

It is said that the Hogwarts Express was stolen by wizards from the Muggle world, so it is equipped with some electrical products.

The three little ones were kneeling on the chair, with their eyes pressed against the window and looking out. The dark environment was very quiet.

William took everyone out of the car and was about to leave from the left road when a pale little wizard jumped out.

"William! I've been looking for you!"

"Draco?" William and Evelin said in unison.

"What do you want from me?" William asked in a clear voice. He didn't know if it was because he was too impressed by Knockturn Alley, but Draco looked at him with excitement.

Draco showed off: "I practiced a lot of magic after I got home. When are we going to fight in Knockturn Alley again?"

He thought about this very much.

——What happened in Knockturn Alley that day shocked him greatly.

The huge and terrifying werewolf, the mysterious and dark Borgin Bock antique store, and William's mercurial demeanor.

What made him even more unforgettable was that he was so nervous that day that he didn't cast a single spell, and was even educated by Evelin about this.

The so-called knowledge of shame and then courage.

Draco didn't tell anyone, but he often took Crabbe to exercise, just to save his dignity in the next battle.

Without waiting for William to speak,

Evelyn had grabbed Draco's ear.

"What did you say? You still want to fight?"

"Damn it, let me go!" Draco's face turned red, and he didn't know whether it was from anger or pain.

The two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, fell behind, watching Draco being bullied. They seemed as if they hadn't seen him, and turned their heads to the side - whistling to look at the scenery.

They didn't dare to help.

Otherwise, Evelin would definitely beat them up as well.

This is a bloody experience.

"Be honest with me and don't think about fighting. Also, don't disturb William!" Evelin gave a verbal lesson.

"By the way, where's Nora?"

"Here!" Crabbe stepped forward quickly, and everyone saw his bulging chest clearly, and saw him holding out a plump cat from his clothes.

Fran said in surprise: "Oh! Nora!" He snatched the cat away, and Nora did not resist, but purred leisurely.

"Okay, go back." Evelin let go of Draco and warned, "Study hard and don't cause trouble."

Draco hung his head dejectedly.

William whispered: "Study hard. As long as you perform well, I promise to take you with me next time."

Evelin: "William, don't spoil him, he's so naughty."

"Really? That's great!" Draco only heard William's words, and he immediately beamed with joy. Seeing Evelin's bad expression, he hurried away.

In the crowd, several young wizards secretly observed this scene.

Some people laughed secretly, while others frowned unconsciously.

"Harry, what are you looking at?"

The red-haired Ron asked in a low voice, following Harry's gaze. In his eyes were William, Draco and others.

"It's nothing."

There was no answer, and Harry looked away from Draco.

In fact, he and Draco had already met once and had a few words with each other.

On Harry's birthday, Hagrid took him into Diagon Alley and not only helped him in various ways, but also gave him a very warm birthday gift.

Maybe Hagrid didn't think it was that great.

But Harry couldn't forget the warmth - it was a warmth he had never experienced at his aunt and uncle's house.

This is the first time someone respects him and cares about him so much. He will help him vent his anger and help him solve his difficulties.

However, Draco despised Hagrid.

In Madam Malkin's shop in Diagon Alley, Draco didn't know Harry's name. He mocked Hagrid wildly, not only saying that he was a servant of Hogwarts, but also mocking Hagrid's life experience, experience, etc.

Harry was angry, but he didn't argue and just left silently.

It was precisely because of this incident that Draco had a very bad impression in his mind, probably as annoying as Dudley.

Saw the 'intimate' movements of Draco, Evelin and others.

Harry pursed his lips and looked away.

William left with Fran and the others. The way they entered Hogwarts Castle was no longer by taking a boat across the lake, but by walking through the main gate.

There are three roads leading to Hogsmeade Station.

The path on the left leads to the main gate;

A path in the middle leads to the boating point;

The path on the right leads to the wizarding village of Hogsmeade.
