Aiwen wobbled back to his room, telling himself in his heart that he should be careful in the future, he must not let Hermione know that his Animagus form is a black cat, otherwise he would be looking for death rhythm.
There was a noise from the next room, and Percy's Boys' Union President's badge could not be found, and he suspected that Ron had hidden it, and the two had a quarrel. In fact, when Ivan went upstairs, he saw that it was Fred and George who took Percy's badge and changed the words on it to big-headed boy.
He turned over and looked at the dim ceiling, his thoughts drifting further and further away.
The next morning, Ivan got up and dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast, and everyone else was already up. Mr. Weasley was there reading the front page of the Daily Prophet, frowning; Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were talking about a potion they had made as a child.
Ivan walked to his seat and sat down. Hearing that Hermione beside him was talking about cats with Old Tom, he turned his head hastily.
To his left, Ron was angrily complaining about Percy to Harry.
"The sooner we get on the train the better!" said Ron. "At least I can get away from Percy at Hogwarts. He's accusing me of dripping tea on his girlfriend Penelope's." In the picture, she has hidden her face under the frame because her nose is full of stains."
Harry wanted to persuade Ron, but Fred and George sitting across from him were very happy. They congratulated Ron with smirks and successfully made Percy angry again.
The laughter of the two people further stimulated Percy. He looked at them angrily, then finished his breakfast as quickly as possible, and took his things outside the bar.
What followed was a busy and chaotic period. Everyone moved the salute to the Ministry of Magic car in a hurry. Ivan saw Mr. Weasley calling Harry to a corner where no one was around. The two of them did not know what they said. Harry When he came out, he looked very bad.
Hermione was still persistently looking for the black cat from last night, and Ivan hurried forward to help her carry her luggage. Crookshanks was purring noisily in a small wicker basket.
Hearing this voice, Ron subconsciously covered his chest and hid a little away.
The journey to King's Cross was uneventful, and when they arrived at the station, twenty minutes before the train's drive, the Ministry driver found them a luggage trolley, unloaded their boxes, and turned to Weasley. Mr. touched his hand to the brim of his hat and drove away.
Everyone passed through platform nine and three-quarters smoothly. This was the first time Ivan came here. He looked around curiously. The platform was full of wizards and witches sending their children to the train. An old scarlet car was on the track The black steam locomotive is belching smoke.
This gave him a feeling of turning time and space upside down and returning to the era of big steam.
They got on the train, walked past full cars, and arrived at a car that looked empty, where Mr. Weasley helped them put their boxes on.
Then everyone got off the train one by one, saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley kissed each child goodbye, and Mr. Weasley was still whispering to Harry.
The expression on Harry's face was confused and disturbed, and when the train moved, he whispered to Ron and Hermione, "I need to speak to you in private!"
"Go away, Ginny!" Ron waved.
"Oh, that's not bad." Ginny said arrogantly, and walked away, and Ivan followed after a moment of stupefaction.
"Evan, you don't have to..."
"You guys talk first, I'll go say hello to everyone, and I'll be right back."
Ivan didn't pause. He knew what Harry was going to say, but he had his own plan. If it went well, he would easily resolve this year's incident. Peter Pettigrew was much easier to deal with than Tom Riddle.
He followed Ginny to a carriage near the end. Colin and Neville were sitting in it. The two greeted each other and walked in.
Colin excitedly told them about his life in the country during the summer vacation. The Hogwarts Express drove steadily northward, and the scenery outside the window became more wild and darker.
After knowing that Ai Wen was sitting here, people kept coming to this carriage to say hello.
Most of them are readers of "Hogwarts Wizardry", and everyone wants to know the follow-up plot of "I and the Basilisk at Hogwarts" written by Ivan. After a while, Luna also came over, and she gave Ai Wen a copy of "Quieter", saying that it contained the latest article on the horned snoring beast.
Although Aiwen has euphemistically stated many times that he is not interested in horned snorers and bubble snot monsters, Luna still gives him a copy of every issue of "The Quibbler", without interruption for the whole holiday .
A few people flipped through "The Quibbler" boringly, and the sky outside was getting darker and darker.
After a while, it started to rain, and the outline of the continuous hills outside the window became blurred.
The carriage door was opened again, and in came three unwelcome people, Malfoy walked in, followed by his two followers: Goyle and Crabbe.
They seemed to have been in Harry's compartment just now, and Malfoy said in his lazy drawl as soon as he came in, "Mudblood, why aren't you sitting with Potter?"
"It's none of your business!" Ivan said softly, and Neville, Colin, and Ginny raised their heads nervously.
"Potter dumped you, he must have had enough of you and your stupid newspaper." As soon as Malfoy finished speaking, Goyle and Crabbe laughed wildly.
"Get out, you're not welcome here!" Ginny shouted.
"Did you hear what Ginny said?!" Ivan pulled out his wand, squinted his eyes and said, "Or, you want to try the new spell I learned during the holidays."
"Watch your tone of voice, Mudblood, or this year you... "
He was interrupted before he could finish, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked in.
"Go away, Malfoy!" Ron yelled as soon as he came in. "We don't have time to listen to your nonsense. We'll fight if we want to."
Malfoy hesitated for a moment, as if seeing that his side was not dominant, he took a step back involuntarily.
Just then, the train jolted suddenly and stopped.
In the carriage, all the lights suddenly went out, and they were plunged into complete darkness.
"Damn, what happened?"
Ivan heard Malfoy screaming, and there were people walking back and forth outside the carriage.
"Lumos!" he whispered, and the wand glowed.
The faint fluorescence at the tip of the wand was not pleasant at all. I don't know if it was an illusion. The color of the light was getting colder and darker. Everyone felt as if they had entered a cold storage, and everything around them was freezing rapidly.
There was a strange sound outside the car, something was approaching, Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe hurriedly leaned into the car.
The door was slowly opened, and Ivan could feel that Hermione, who was standing beside her, was holding her arm tightly, and her body was trembling slightly.
He patted Hermione on the shoulder lightly, which reassured the little girl a little.
The door of the carriage was fully opened, and standing in the doorway, illuminated by the flickering fluorescent light in Ivan's hand, was a monster in a cloak and as tall as the ceiling.
Its face was completely hidden under the hood, and a hand protruded from the cloak. It was gleaming, gray and thin and scabbed, like something dead and soaked in water to rot.
The monster under the cloak seemed to sense the gaze of several people, and the hand suddenly retracted into the folds of the black cloak. Then the thing under the hood, whatever it was, took a long, slow, trembling breath, as if trying to suck in something other than air from its surroundings.
Several children in the carriage screamed, but their voices were very depressing, as if they were coming from far away.
Ivan tightened his wand tightly, it was a dementor!
