The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 388 On the road (seeking subscription, seeking collection, seeking tickets)
When Ryan got up the next morning to pack up and go out, he found the whole house in chaos.Mrs. Weasley was throwing a tantrum, worried that everyone might miss the train if they moved too slowly.

"The main problem is still with Moody," said Hermione, "while Mad-Eye is complaining that we can't go without Sturgis Podmore coming, or there will be one less guard."

"Guard? Who is it for?" Ryan felt a little dizzy.

"Give it to me, although I don't want it." Harry's helpless tone came from behind. "I thought Voldemort was lurking and biding his time, but Mad-Eye seemed to think he was going to pop out from behind a dumpster and kill me."

In the end, everything was smoothed out, and the guards who were supposed to come had arrived.All went outside into the faint September sun and it was a beautiful day.It can be said that autumn is refreshing.They couldn't borrow a car because their relationship with the Ministry of Magic was so screwed up, so now everyone had to walk to King's Cross.

Fortunately, this journey is not long.After walking for 10 minutes, they arrived at King's Cross Station. Everything on the road was normal, and nothing major happened. Naturally, there was no sudden attack as Moody expected.

Moody had already arrived at the station by this time, and was helping everyone with their luggage.He wore a porter's hat pulled low over his asymmetrical eyes, and all the luggage was stacked on a cart he was pushing.Moody approached them and whispered that everything was fine, before limping through the arch with his cart.

Ryan and the others also followed to platform nine and three-quarters. They unloaded the boxes from Moody's luggage cart one by one. When they were almost done, Fred, George and Ginny arrived with Lupine. Fortunately, everything went well with them.

After getting on the train, he greeted Harry and the others, and Ryan pulled his luggage and walked to the front of the train with Hermione.Unlike the box they sat in the back in the past, this time they had to go to the prefect's compartment at the front of the train to receive instructions from the president of the male student council and the chairperson of the female student council respectively, and then patrol the corridor from time to time.

When they came to the front prefect car, the two student council chairmen were already there, and Ryan found that their acquaintance Cedric was the chairperson of the male student council this year. Naturally, this change is gratifying.

When the train started, the prefects arrived one after another.Among the new prefects this year, Ravenclaw is Anthony Goldstein and Padma Patil, and Slytherin is Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson.The Hufflepuffs are Ernie MacMillan and Hannah Abbott.After seeing Ryan and Hermione, Hannah came over to say hello to them, and at the same time said that she hoped that the content of this year's book club would be close to the owls exam.

"This year's focus must be on this." Hermione comforted in a low voice. "I spent half the summer vacation sorting out the information about the Owls exam, and I plan to share it with the book club after the school term begins."

After chatting for a few minutes, everyone arrived.The two student union presidents gave this year's newly elected prefects a lot of information about the Hogwarts student union and then directly started to arrange work. Ryan and Hermione were assigned to the second half of the carriages for inspection work.

"I've heard that Slytherin and Ravenclaw prefects have traditionally inspected the first half of the train, while Gryffindor and Hufflepuff prefects have inspected the second half. Is this true?" in On the way out Ryan asked Cedric for a little gossip he had heard from Percy.

"It's true, because the boxes of the school directors are at the front of the train, and most of the users are Slytherin students. In this case, since half a century ago, in order to avoid conflicts, we will try to separate everyone as much as possible." Sedry K shrugged and said, "Of course, I think some pure-blood wizards say that their blood makes them superior to others is a complete lie. I really don't understand why they would conflict with others because of such a lie."

After saying goodbye to Cedric, Ryan and the others started their inspection tour.Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Hermione approached Ryan and complained: "Although I hate Malfoy, at least Malfoy is qualified to be a Slytherin prefect. But that perfect cow Pansy Parkinson has What's a prefect? ​​She's dumber than a troll with a concussion."

"Maybe the Slytherins think that Pansy is more representative of their college girls." Ryan used a joke to appease Hermione, who looked a little furry.He could understand why Hermione was angry, and they were both female prefects in the fifth grade. No one would want everyone to compare themselves with some idiot when they thought of this matter.

After dealing with a few students who were playing Frisbee with teeth in the corridor, Ryan and the others came to the box where Harry and Ron were.After entering the box, he saw that everyone in the box seemed a little angry.

"What happened?" Ryan asked, taking a bite of the sandwich that Mrs. Weasley had stuffed them in the morning.

"Don't mention it, just now Malfoy came here to provoke him, and then showed off that he is now a prefect." Ginny replied angrily.

"The other prefect of Slytherin is Pansy, and they will be able to choose this kind of thing." Hermione also sat down and took out a small cauldron cake from the snack pile on the seat and ate it. "It's strange, isn't the Malfoy family a core member of the Death Eaters? Why is he so active at this time, and still has the intention to provoke Harry." Because there are only five of them in the box, everyone can say some confidential things,
"Maybe his father is now allowed to kiss You-Know-Who's robes, and he may think his better days are coming. Of course, it is also possible that his family has reached some shady business with the Ministry of Magic. Didn't Harry say Did you see Lucius Malfoy and Fudge avoid private conversations together?" Ginny made a rational analysis.

After that, several people began to discuss the recent confrontation between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic. Everyone was a little worried that the Ministry of Magic would interfere too much in the selection of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year.As they talked, the train continued north, and the weather was still changing.Raindrops beat intermittently against the window, and then the sun lolled out, only to be covered by clouds soon after.As night fell, the lights in the carriage came on.

After a holiday from school, everyone wants to see Hogwarts Castle sooner.But it was a moonless night, and the rain-soaked windows were smudged, and all they could see was darkness.

"We've got to change," said Hermione at last, and everyone scrambled to unpack boxes and put on school robes.Ryan and she put the prefect badge on their chests carefully, then looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, the train slowly slowed down, and they heard a commotion all around again, as everyone was busy gathering luggage and pets together and getting off.After Ryan, Hermione, and Harry said goodbye, they hurried to the exit of the carriage to maintain order.When they got into the carriage, they realized that most of the students had already left the platform.

When it was raining, everyone was in a hurry to get into the carriage. Ryan and the others saw Malfoy and his buddies, including Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson, pushing aside a few timid second-graders , so that they can monopolize a carriage.

"Waterproof and moistureproof." Ryan asked Hermione to find the car first, and he wanted to go and say a few words by himself.But the carriage had already left when he pushed through the crowd.Ryan could only cast a rainproof spell on those drenched Hufflepuffs.

"This quality——" Hermione had already found an empty carriage, and Hermione was a little dissatisfied with Malfoy's behavior after Ryan got into the carriage. "I must find an opportunity to sue him. He hasn't worn the badge for less than 3 minutes, but he uses it to bully others even more?"

"I support you on this point, and we can't let everyone think that Hogwarts prefects are such things." Ryan echoed.

Because the two of them fell behind, there were not many people left.After waiting for a few minutes for no one to get on the carriage, the carriage started heading towards Hogwarts.
