A day of learning magic at Hogwarts

In regret, Ian Traister raised his head and looked around.

"Excuse me!" he shouted loudly, "Can any kind gentleman come and help me? I accidentally dropped my luggage off the platform!"

Passers-by were coming and going, and soon his cry for help attracted the attention of a big boy.

He was a boy with blond hair, he seemed to be a few years older than Ian, and he was very tall.

He trotted over quickly, then jumped onto the abandoned track and lifted up the suitcase that Ian had dropped there; Ian used force from above to pull the suitcase back up.

Then, Ian reached out and pulled the boy up from the platform.

"Thanks!" Ian said while breathing heavily.

"You're welcome!" The blond-haired boy was also breathing heavily:

"It's just a little effort!"

From the corner of his eye, Ian looked at the enthusiastic guy in front of him.

From the appearance, he is a slender and handsome boy with a strong bookish air about him.

Moreover, compared to most of the passengers at King's Cross Station, his clothes looked a little familiar——

Because he was wearing black plain work clothes.

Ian also has three sets of the same style of clothes in his suitcase...

This seems to be the uniform uniform for Hogwarts students.

"Excuse me;" Ian lowered his voice:

"Are you a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

The blond boy's eyes widened, obviously a little surprised:

"You actually know about Hogwarts?"

"Could it be that..." He blinked.

"That's right!" Ian nodded unequivocally, "I'm a new freshman this year."

"So, that suitcase..." The blond boy squinted his eyes.

"I felt that over there might be the entrance to the 9? station, so I threw my suitcase down and gave it a try," Ian replied with a slight embarrassment.

The blond boy did not laugh, but said very sincerely: "Indeed, it is not easy for freshmen to find the entrance to the station... Come with me, I will take you in!"

"My name is Cedric, Cedric Diggory, a third year student from Hufflepuff House!"

"My name is Ian, Ian Twist!"

Ian pushed his suitcase and followed Cedric Diggory.

They came to the dividing wall between stations [-] and [-].

"It's right here!" Cedric spoke quickly: "For this partition wall, you just need to go straight in. Don't stop, don't be afraid, just go straight in. This is very important. If you are nervous , then close your eyes and count three times silently, and don’t stop!”

Ian glanced at the solid partition wall in front of him, and then looked around.

"What does this position have to do with three-quarters?" He secretly complained in his heart.

He started walking towards the partition wall, pushing his suitcase forward.

Just when he thought he was about to collide head-on, nothing happened. What appeared in front of him was a dark red steam locomotive.The sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.

Then he looked back: where the partition wall was originally, there was an archway covered with marble, and there was also a sign for the 9? station.

"Congratulations, Ian!" Cedric's voice came from the archway, and his figure soon appeared: "You succeeded!"

"Thank you so much for today!" Ian thanked him quickly.

"See you at Hogwarts!"

……

Separating himself from the warm-hearted Cedric, Ian pushed his way through the crowd.

There are still almost 10 minutes until the train starts, and there are still many empty boxes on the Hogwarts Express.

Soon, he found an empty box near the rear of the car; he first moved his suitcase onto the running board, and then sat comfortably in the box.

Thinking back on what he had just seen, Cedric Diggory was the first wizard of his own age that he had come into contact with.

His image is completely different from his stereotype of a cold, lonely and mysterious wizard.

If he takes off his black plain clothes, he looks more like an enthusiastic, polite and handsome ordinary middle school student!

"There seems to be no difference between wizards and ordinary people!" Ian thought secretly in his heart.

But at this moment, two boys broke into the box and interrupted Ian's thoughts.

One was a pudgy boy and the other was pale and nervous looking.

"Is there anyone here?" The short and fat boy asked first, while pointing to the seats beside Ian and in front of him.

Ian shook his head and motioned for them to sit down.

The two of them carried their luggage onto the steps one after another.

Then, the short and chubby boy sat down with a relaxed expression and crossed his legs; while the pale boy glanced at Ian, then quickly shifted his gaze, pretending not to look at Ian.

"My name is Ernie," the pudgy boy said first, "Ernie MacMillan!"

"Melania McMillan?" Ian suddenly remembered a familiar name and blurted it out.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to know her! She is my great-grandfather's sister!" Ernie straightened his back immediately, his voice full of pride: "She served as the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic from 1938 to 1948. It can be said that It was welcomed by wizards all over Europe..."

"When I watched "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Mushrooms" last night, she was mentioned above..." Ian touched his chin and murmured at the same time, "She made some comments about the actual use of 'Mandrake' He made a great contribution... The content is on page 367... or 368... I can't remember clearly!"

"Well, that's it..." Ernie's voice seemed to be awkward for a moment, "Of course I know this. This is also the insignificant contribution this senior of our MacMillan family has made to the wizarding world!"

Then, Ernie continued to introduce, pointing to the pale boy next to him:

"This is Justin Finch-Fletchley, a new friend I just met. His parents are both Muggles, but if you laugh at him for this, I will take him out of this box right now!"

"We are all first years at Hogwarts."

"Hello..." Justin raised his head and greeted Ian.It can be seen that he is still very nervous now.

"Of course not!" Ian smiled and shook his head.

At the same time, he shook hands with the two new friends in the box.

"My name is Ian!" he introduced himself, "Ian Twister!"

"Besides, I'm also a first-year student at Hogwarts!"
