The Admiral of Hogwarts

"What exactly is going on today?" Twenty minutes later, Harry asked Hermione, who was sitting opposite him, with some confusion, as he looked at the scenery receding outside the window. It had to be said that the magical skills of the house-elves were indeed impressive, so much so that the Ministry of Magic employee and the colleagues who came to support him spent nearly ten minutes dealing with the entrance blocked by Dobby.

This also led to Hugo and the other parents and students who arrived one after another being five or six minutes late when they entered the platform. Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic officials had also notified the Hogwarts Express to delay their departure, so they didn't miss the bus.

"To be honest, I'm not sure either." Hermione shook her head and said. "I also asked Miss Hood about this matter just now, but because we were in a hurry to get on the train at the time, Miss Hood spoke very simply, only saying that the two Ministry of Magic employees judged that something had magically sealed the entrance."

"I think this is a bit like what anti-Muggle pranksters do, like those guys who sell shrinking keys that my father caught before." Ron said excitedly at this time. "After all, this entrance is generally only used by half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards, so it's not surprising that it becomes a target."

If Hugo didn't know the truth, he probably would have agreed with Ron's idea, because this operation was too much like the kind of attack that so-called anti-Muggle pranksters could easily carry out: targeted, and at the same time, these attacks were only limited to the scope of pranks.

Because of this, everyone quickly shifted the topic to what they had done during their respective summer vacations. Obviously, the Granger siblings' trip to Hawaii had a great attraction for Harry and Ron, especially for Harry.

"It's great to be able to go to a faraway place and have a good look!" Harry said softly after listening to Hermione's story about visiting the Cloud Whale. "You guys are really lucky, unlike me, I have to go back to my aunt's house every summer and spend at least a month with them."

"That does sound pretty bad." Hugo shrugged, then pretended not to know anything and asked Harry, "But why don't you move out now? If I remember correctly, you're quite popular at school, and I believe friends like Ron should be able to convince his mother to allow you to spend the holidays at their house."

"That's right, my mother would be very happy for him to stay at our house during the holidays." Hearing Hugo say this, Ron immediately said from the side. "Like when he stayed at our house during this time, my mother has always treated him like her own son, even better than she usually treats me."

"It's really a bit of a trouble for Mrs. Weasley." Harry smiled and shook his head. "Besides, the most important thing is that Professor Dumbledore told me at the end of last semester that my mother gave me a very important magical protection back then, and this protection must be maintained every year by living at my aunt's house for a year until I come of age."

"If that's the case, then I can only wish you good luck." Firefly said after hearing Harry's words, and then took a big gulp of the Coke he was carrying. At the same time, everyone else fell silent. After all, if Professor Dumbledore specifically instructed it, then it meant that this matter was indeed very important.

"By the way, Harry, how was your summer at the Weasleys?" Seeing that the scene was a bit cold, Hermione quickly started a new topic.

Soon, the compartment became lively again. It's just that everyone began to subconsciously avoid asking him about those things about him living at his aunt's house.

In the following time, everyone spent it chatting and playing games. Perhaps it was because all the bad luck had been used up when entering the station before, so Hugo and the others were very smooth in the following time, until night began to fall.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, please leave your luggage on the train, we will send it to the school for you." This voice echoed on the train.

After hearing this voice, Hugo and the other boys looked at each other and immediately left the compartment with gentlemanly demeanor, leaving the space for the girls to change clothes.

Fortunately, it was just a simple change of clothes, so after five or six minutes, they changed their clothes, and then Hermione took the lead and walked out of the compartment. After they all walked out of the compartment, Hugo and the others quickly ran into the compartment and put on their Hogwarts black uniforms.

The train slowed down and finally stopped. The passengers pushed and shoved, rushing to the door and down to a dark and small platform.

Then Hugo and Harry got into a carriage together, passed through mountain roads, crossed lakes, and only after entering the magnificent hall did everyone say goodbye to each other, and then went to their respective house tables.

As in the last semester, there were still countless lit candles suspended in the air in the hall. Illuminating the long tables that were now gradually filled with people, shining the golden plates and cups. And on the ceiling that had been enchanted, you could see the stars in the night sky constantly twinkling.

Just after everyone sat down, the headmaster and the faculty and staff came out from a door on the side of the platform at the end of the corridor, and then sat in their respective positions.

At this moment, Hugo, who was staring at the plate thinking about what delicious food would be available at the opening banquet, suddenly felt someone shaking his arm.

"Sis, what's the matter?" Hugo turned his head and looked at Hermione, who was grabbing his forearm and shaking it hard, and said helplessly. "Look, look at the platform." Seeing Hugo turn his head, Hermione immediately put her hand in front of her and pointed to a direction on the long table where the professors were sitting, and said excitedly.

Hugo looked in the direction she was pointing, and as a result, he saw Enterprise wearing a dark blue wizard robe and sitting there, between Mrs. Pince and Flitwick. Soon, Enterprise saw the Granger siblings and waved to them with a smile to say hello.

"Do you guys know that new professor?" Michael Corner, Hugo's roommate sitting next to him, asked after seeing Enterprise waving to the Granger siblings. "I see that you seem to have a very good relationship with that new professor."

"We met Miss Halsey when we were traveling in the United States during the summer vacation." Hugo turned his head and introduced to his roommate. "She is a former Auror of the American Magical Congress, who has solved many important cases. We met her when we were traveling and received her help."

"Cool—" Michael said with some excitement after hearing Enterprise's current identity. As a family with wizard parents, Michael naturally knew what an Auror did. "By the way, do you know why she came to England?"

"She talked to us about it." Hermione said at this time, "She had been on the front line of the Aurors in the United States before, and she also solved many major cases. It's just that she later became a little tired of it, so she chose to retire."

Just after Hermione finished speaking, Headmaster Dumbledore gently tapped the glass in front of him with a spoon, and then the most important sorting ceremony began.
