People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning..

Chapter 165 A Large Number of New Students

Unlike Bella and Sophie's sneaking away, no one minded Ariana's sneaking away.

Ariana has a fragile feeling like glass. Although she is always smiling and her face is bright and beautiful, people always feel that she will cry in the next second.

With her easy-to-bully temperament, beautiful and generous facial features, and tragic fate, everyone watched her come into the world, making her the darling of the group.

Even Hermione.

"what happened?"

"So lethargic?"

Although Ariana was older, Hermione looked at her with concern, like an older sister.

Hermione was enthusiastic about Fleur because of her knowledge as a disciple of Nick Flamel.

As for Ariana, she was completely concerned.

She stabbed Bajir with a dagger-like look, "Did you bully Anna?"

Baqir spread his hands.

Ariana murmured, “No. Nothing to do with Bucky.”

And seeing her poking her index fingers together and hunching her chest with her brows lowered, Hermione couldn't help but reveal suspicion in her eyes.

Ariana felt like her head was about to explode.

In the group, even though she sent the screenshot to the group, indicating that she, Fleur, and Hermione were in the same carriage, Bagel could not be so bold.

But no one believed it.

In reality, Hermione is the same.

After all, Ariana looked so pitiful that even if they became men, they would not be able to resist bullying her, let alone Bagel.

There were also Hermione and Fleur as side dishes to go with the wine.

But fortunately, after Bagel reminded Hermione of her age, everyone in the group no longer began to doubt.

In reality, Bajir pointed at her righteously and said, "It was you who was chatting with Furong and neglected Anna. What does it have to do with me?"

His fingertips glowed, and the stunned Ariana suddenly felt a downward force coming from her chin, then down, and down again.
In the eyes of others, she nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

Now, Hermione also guiltily held Ariana's hand, and without waiting for her to explain, she started chatting about family matters.

At this time, the fields passing by the car window seemed even more desolate, and a neat field of farmland had disappeared.

What follows is a forest, a meandering river and dark green hills.

In another carriage.

Harry looked at everything outside the window and sighed: "Time passes so slowly."

Ron gave a piece of cake to Goyle who was huddled in the corner and licked his fingers. "Yes."

He looked around, "Did we forget something?"

Draco slapped his thigh, "I remembered what I forgot! I have completely mastered the magic of tattooing! Before this, I could only summon a head!"

On the top of the carriage, Zhu Weijuan in the cage made dissatisfied growling sounds.

Harry looked up.

It was a gray owl, about the size of a tennis ball.

It was a gift from Sirius to Ron to make up for the loss of his pet.

It was left behind for Ginny.

"Ginny!" Harry woke up as if from a dream.

Ron frowned in dissatisfaction, "Why did you suddenly call my sister's name? She is still a child? She doesn't like you now either."

"Your sister?" Draco looked at her curiously. "Potter, have you found a girlfriend?"

Lupin, and even Crabbe and Goyle, who were huddled in the corner, craned their necks in interest.

Ron's ears turned red. "No! Stupid Malfoy!"

"Ginny likes Granger! Badgill Granger! Harry, my sister doesn't like him!"

Harry was embarrassed after being scolded, and he didn't know whether to put down his outstretched hand or move it forward.

"Basil Granger." Draco narrowed his eyes.

For a moment, he recalled the tragic past.

The red light split into three and knocked them away but cleverly avoided hurting him, Crabbe, and Goyle's stunning spell.

And that handsome face that he had to admire.

Comfort before the Forbidden Forest.

A strange, fatherly smile.

All these things made him wonder whether he hated or loved Bajir.

Harry quickly interrupted Draco's thoughts.

"That's not the point! The point is that Ginny ran out of the carriage!"

"Huh?" Ron turned his head. "Isn't Ginny right here—"

His finger paused in front of Draco's nose.

"Ginny's gone!"

Swish!
"What is our little brother saying?"

"Ginny's gone?"

Fred and George opened the car door, looking teasing.

"You didn't notice it, did you?"

"Your own sister ran out of the carriage?"

"We need to tell Mom!" X2
As the door opened, Crabbe and Goyle stood up.

So much so that Lupin's figure was blocked by their two long bodies both vertically and horizontally.

Otherwise, Fred and George would not have ridiculed Ron first when they saw Lupin, an adult wizard who was probably a professor.

Ron stiffened his neck. "This has nothing to do with you! What are you doing here?"

And Harry noticed the blind spot, "Do you know where Ginny is?"

Fred and George nodded helplessly.

Then he added: "We are not here to see you."

"I heard there's a fire dragon here."

Hearing that it was him he was looking for, Draco straightened his chest.

As he moved, he exposed the gray-haired head of Lupin behind him.

Fred and George stepped back quickly.

"Adult wizard!"

"If I'm not mistaken—"

"You are——"

"Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

“We are good students.”

"We are sorry to have introduced you to our plain and irritable brother."

"Yes, not every Weasley is like him."

"You should have met Ginny, she would have been excellent."

Ron gritted his teeth, "Hey!"

He clenched his fists and tried to stand up, but was grabbed by Harry around the waist.

"How come you guys agreed that I would be embarrassed?"

Lupin stood up and said something fair, "Ron is also very good. He knows a lot of strange knowledge."

"I even know what color and style the shorts of the Welsh Bewildered Giant wore in 1934."

Fred, George shrugged.

"That's it."

"Sorry, we have to go first."

"Since there is no fire dragon in sight."

"Bye, little Ronnie."

The two men then withdrew from the carriage and closed the door.

"What do you mean by considered?" Ron muttered.

Draco was halfway through taking off his clothes, "How come there is no dragon? I haven't taken off all my clothes yet!"

Harry was frowning. "We haven't even asked where Ginny is! And Malfoy, seeing a man of the same sex looking at him hungrily and taking off his clothes in a hurry, anyone would want to run away."

He glanced outside.

Before I knew it, it had already gotten dark.

He saw mountains and forests under a deep purple sky.

The train seemed to slow down.

"It seems that it's not that time is passing slowly, but that the sun sets late today."

"We're almost off the train."

Harry stood up.

"Huh?" Draco quickly put his robe back on.

Crabbe and Goyle opened the car door impatiently. "Draco, we're leaving first."

"We still need to change clothes."

Listen to the footsteps outside, the meows of countless cats, and the hooting of some owls.

Ron stroked his chin, "In that case, Ginny should be back by now."

"Her things are still with us."

"Harry, what are you looking at me for?"

Harry rubbed his forehead; he could feel the pain in his scar again.

But this time I was angry.

"How can I change my clothes if you don't get up?"

"My suitcase is under your seat."

"Ah, ah—" Ron stood up quickly, "I should change my clothes too. Before Ginny comes back."

Hermione and the others who were with Bagel didn't have to be so flustered.

He just waved his fingers lightly in the air.

Everyone in the carriage changed into Hogwarts school uniforms.

"This is not a Transfiguration. I just exchanged your clothes with the school robes in your box."

"Okay, girls, it's time for us to get going."

"Get to the train door early and wait."

Neither Hermione, Ariana, nor Fleur asked why.

They all saw how frantic the others were when Bajir was in the crowd.

Baqir secretly rejoiced.

If it weren't for the fact that the echo of Voldemort added both charm and intimidation, what they might have seen was a crowd of people rushing forward like zombies seeing a living person.

ten minutes later.

The car has stopped.

Baqir was the first to walk towards the train and head towards the dark platform.

Hermione and the others, with their eyes glued to Bagel's back, followed closely behind.

"First years, come here!" a familiar voice called out.

It was Hagrid, waving to the new students in the crowd that had been drawn to Basil.

He was going to take them on the traditional journey across the lake.

"And you! Dumbledore showed me your picture!"

In the chat group.

Madison: "I wish I could take a boat to Hogwarts."

Baqir: "Of course."

"But remember to pass the [Dream Mark]."

“This way you don’t have to spend points.”

"I can also change you to the size of first-year students, and you won't be noticed by others."

Madison: "I'm already there, when will I transform."

Zoe: “Ditto.”

Sophie: "? Why would we need to change into a new body shape if we won't be noticed?"

Baqir: "Ah, you don't have to."

Sophie: “What do you mean?”

Beatrice: "No hope for you idiot. It's because of the size of the boat. It can't accommodate an adult."

"And you don't have to whistle because you're no different than an 11-year-old."

Sophie: "I have a C, too! Bah! I mean, Rubeus Hagrid, a half-giant, can do it, so why can't I?"

Baqir: "The number of boats docked at the shore is determined by the number of freshmen."

“There are a lot of students enrolled this year.”

“A lot of them are from other countries.”

"Although Ariana and Fleur are fifth years, they are also freshmen."

"We also need to take a boat to cross the lake."

"But if you want to sit comfortably in a small boat, it's best for each adult to sit in one."

"The same is true for fifth graders who are about the same size as adults."

"Counting them, there is only one Hogwarts ship left."

Ariana: "I won't take the boat. Bucky, you have something to do. That Hagrid is keeping a close eye on me."

Basil: "Of course, I noticed it a long time ago. Didn't you notice that you didn't respond after Hagrid called you?"

"He's not looking at you. He's looking at the first-years who insisted on following me."

Madison: "Except Ariana and Sweetie. There are 4 more people in the group."

"If I become a first-grade kid, it will be just enough."

Beatrice: "I didn't say I had to come."

Sophie: "You're not coming? Smiley face.jpg."

Beatrice: "I didn't say I wasn't coming."

Zoe, who had turned into a first-year student, said seriously, "A lot of them are from other countries?"

"No wonder so many first-year students follow you."

"Even if it's because of your charm, Buggy, you should know where to go when you hear the big guy calling you."

"All about the Philosopher's Stone?"

Bajir: "Yes. Many wizard families in other countries send their eligible family members to school."

In reality, Maddie Xu, who also turned into an 11-year-old female ghost, was on a small boat, squinting her eyes and looking around.

Then he said in the group: "I noticed that only Ariana and Furong looked like adults."

Basil: "Of course, Dumbledore is no fool. He rejected all foreign students over the age of 11."

"The [Pen of Acceptance] and [Book of Admission] will also record the entry of foreign wizards under the age of 17."

"But it doesn't say the principal can't refuse."

"Okay, I'm almost at Hogwarts Castle."

"The Therius is pulling the cart much faster indeed."

"You should also remember to leave before meeting Dumbledore."

"It is still difficult to hide from the sight of a great wizard, relying only on the concealment magic I left behind."

The chat panel is detached from the retina.

In the carriage, Basil listened to Ariana explaining the Thestrals to Hermione like a little adult, and looked towards the window with a smile.

The carriage passed through a gate with sculptures of winged wild boars on both sides and drove along a wide driveway.

Hogwarts was getting closer and closer, and the many lighted windows were dimly shining behind the night mist.

Their carriage stopped at the foot of the stone steps in front of the double oak doors.

Baqir jumped out of the carriage.

"Ariana, just wait here for a while."

"Wait for Hagrid and the others."

"Otherwise Dumbledore will blame Hagrid. He promised Dumbledore that he would take you on the boat."

"You are also under a spell, and others will subconsciously stay away from you."

"It will be gone within ten seconds of Hagrid arriving."

Ariana nodded obediently.

Hermione reluctantly let go of Ariana's hand.

Following Bagir, we walked up the stone steps and into the cave-like entrance hall.

The foyer was torchlit and the marble staircase was magnificent.

Walk down the hallway and through the two doors on the right.

Everything seems to be the same as before.

The auditorium was still as magnificent as ever, and was specially decorated for the new semester's banquet.

Hundreds of candles floated above the table, making the gold saucers and goblets sparkle.

There were already a few scattered students at the four long college tables.

Just now, while Bagir and the others were chatting, he walked in first.

There was a fifth table at the top of the auditorium, with staff sitting on one side facing their students.

However, unlike in the past, the space in the auditorium seemed to have been expanded.

The four college tables also became much longer.

But at first glance, I can't tell the difference.
