Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

The ancient steam train puffed out white smoke and made a dull and loud chirp.

The train carrying the future of Britain's wizarding world has set off.

Hermione sat quietly in the carriage with "Walking with Ghouls" in her arms. This was already the second time she had watched it this summer.

Crookshanks lay obediently on Soul's lap. The big ginger cat had surrendered to Soul's skillful petting techniques and purred happily...

The less hot sunlight poured on the two of them through the glass window.

The whole carriage was warm.

Soon after, "crash..." the carriage door was opened.

"Have you seen our little Luo Luo?" A red-haired boy poked his head in, "Hello, Suer."

"You..." Suer couldn't tell who this was for a moment.

"I'm Fred." The red-haired boy said, and then the other twin came in. "Nonsense, I'm Fred!"

Immediately afterwards, a little girl with rosy cheeks also got in. It was Ginny.

"Are you asking Ron?" Hermione closed the book. "I didn't see Ron and Harry. Aren't they with you?"

"We did come here together. Harry and Ron entered the platform last, and then we never found them. My mother was very anxious." Fred shrugged, "Naughty little Luo Luo always makes mistakes inadvertently." Give us a surprise."

"Have you searched all the carriages?" Hermione then asked.

"We are looking for you, and we have just arrived at your place." George said. "Percy disappeared just as he came in."

"Then I'll go look for it with you." Hermione stood up.

"I won't go." Soul said, "Maybe they are eating snacks in a certain carriage. You can go and see Neville. When Hermione and I just came over, we saw him and a guy from our college. The little girl got into the car over there."

A group of people cheered and disappeared into the carriage.

After a while, Hermione came back alone, looking worried.

"We didn't find Harry and Ron. They seemed to have evaporated. Do you think they were stuck in the wall of the platform?"

It wasn't stuck in the wall, it just didn't pass through the platform at all. Suer shook his head and comforted,

"It's okay. Maybe they missed the train. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley will find a way to send them to Hogwarts."

"As long as they stay in the train station."

But I'm afraid that at this moment Harry and Ron are driving the Flying Car, following the train in the clouds above.

"I hope so." Hermione was worried about her friend and not in the mood to continue reading. She held Crookshanks in her arms and stroked him.

Su Er's eyes drifted towards the window, squinting and searching within the visible range, but found nothing except some strange clouds.

Of course he couldn't find anything, because Ron had turned on the car's invisibility function and was excitedly discussing with Harry how eye-catching he would be when he appeared in a car.

Maybe the professor will give them extra points.

"Honey, maybe you need a glass of iced pumpkin juice?" The fat witch pushed a trolley filled with snacks and knocked on the compartment door.

Soul bought some cauldron cakes and filling biscuits, as well as two glasses of iced pumpkin juice, and piled them on the table in the middle with a levitating spell.

"No matter what, we have to fill our bellies before arriving at Hogwarts. We have to stay on the train until dark at least."

"Maybe Harry and Ron were sent to school by Mr. Weasley before we arrived."

.........

The Hogwarts Express is not 'express' at all. It slowly and safely delivers the little wizards to the destination when the sky is dark.

"Put on your robes and leave your luggage in the car. Someone will take them to Hogwarts." A reminder echoed in the train aisle.

The way the second-year wizards return to school is different from that of the first-year freshmen.

Soul and Hermione followed the senior students and got off the train in the opposite direction, and then walked to an open space full of carriages.

The old students were all pulled by Yeqi's carriage to the castle.

The big iron door of Hogwarts has long been opened, and the flying warthog is hovering on the marble pillars, spreading its wings in the night.

As in previous years, the freshmen were led into the auditorium by Professor McGonagall, but this year Suer and the others became the ones sitting on the long table watching the sorting ceremony.

Soul took advantage of the freshmen coming in and glanced at the Gryffindor table. Sure enough, Ron and Harry were not there.

As usual, the Sorting Hat sang the song it had carefully prepared for a year.

Oh, it's still so toneless.

Soul clapped along perfunctorily.

Professor McGonagall unfolded the parchment and began to sort the schools. The first person to appear was a gray-haired boy. He walked forward and sat on a chair with a nervous look on his face, his eyes tightly closed.

The Sorting Hat only hesitated for a few seconds before shouting out the boy's whereabouts.

Huh?Where has Snape gone?

Suhr noticed that there was an empty spot on the faculty bench.

Oh, it must be Harry and Ron.

Congrats, congratulations.

The sorting ceremony went smoothly, and soon it was Ginny Weasley's turn. The Sorting Hat naturally shouted out---'Gryffindor! '

Just as applause erupted from the Gryffindor table, Professor Snape walked in from the side door of the auditorium with a gloomy expression. He walked straight to Professor Dumbledore's seat and whispered: What sentence.

Soul noticed that the smile on Dumbledore's face stiffened.

The sorting ceremony ended after 10 minutes. Professor McGonagall, following Dumbledore's signal, hurriedly left the auditorium with Snape.

"It's another new school year." Dumbledore stood up and said loudly, "I still want to remind the freshmen sitting here that no students are allowed to enter or exit the Forbidden Forest without permission..."

"Finally, let's enjoy dinner."

"Crying nose, scum, screw it!"

A large amount of food appeared on the empty dinner plate when Dumbledore finished speaking, and the excited cheers of the freshmen not far away could be clearly heard.

But Soul noticed something unusual. Professor Dumbledore brought forward the matters that were supposed to be explained after the meal.

Sure enough, when he looked up at the podium, he could only see Gilderoy Lockhart, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in aqua robes, harassing their Professor Sprout with a glass of wine.

It seems that this old Ravenclaw senior is not well liked by the professors.

Gee, this is the first time I see such a disgusted expression on the kind-hearted Professor Sprout.
