Chapter 15 Chapter Magic that Everyone is Good at
After experiencing the epic event of the Toad Retrieval Case (this evaluation was given by Andrew, and he dared to guarantee that many Hogwarts students of this year would mention this event in their conversations in the future), the long journey suddenly came to life.

After watching Harry Potter, the satisfied idlers of all grades rushed back to their own boxes to take care of their own things - it was the last day of summer vacation, and if it weren't for Harry Potter, this would be such precious time that it shouldn't be wasted.
While many students who noticed something was wrong and started calling their friends frantically were lying on their tables to finish their homework, Professor McGonagall, who was preparing to welcome the new students at Hogwarts, was greeted by an owl sent from the Hogwarts Express.

After opening the letter and reading it for less than half a minute, she found Dumbledore, who had refreshed his office on time, with a strange expression on her face.

"What happened, Minerva?"

Dumbledore looked puzzled. "What did the Weasley brothers do in the car? But isn't today the first day of school?"

Based on years of practice, there should be no violations today, because students who habitually violate the rules have little fighting power today. Even the Weasley brothers, who have been the most difficult to deal with in recent years, did not cause any points deductions when they returned to school last year.

"Not the Weasley brothers, but the Potters."

Professor McGonagall handed over the letter.

After a quick read, Dumbledore's expression became strange. "On the train, you led some freshmen to help another freshman find a toad?"

"But didn't Hagrid say... he was a little shy?"

"This doesn't seem like something a shy student would do. Now almost everyone on the train knows that he personally helped his classmates before he enrolled."

"That's a good thing, Minerva."

Dumbledore looked relieved. "It's not a bad thing to be willing to help classmates. If he is happy to do so, it would be even better. Perhaps we will have an excellent prefect."

"That may not be the case, Albus. There was no conflict this time because there was no Sorting... No one wants their house to lose him before the Sorting. If there is Sorting, I'm afraid there will be another James..."

"That's not bad, James is also very good."

Dumbledore concluded.

"Where are you?"

Andrew got up after sleeping for a while and asked a question. He didn't get enough sleep in the first place, and he lay down for a while after the discussion.

"Should be arriving soon?"

Justin looked a little flustered, "It's getting dark."

"Indeed," Andrew yawned. "If it won't arrive until tomorrow morning, I suggest that the train be renamed. No express train is this slow."

"Then change into formal attire. I guess I'll need to remind you later. I don't think we'll be allowed to wear anything random on the first day of school."

that's the truth.

Just after they changed their clothes, someone started notifying them to get off the bus.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to school."

Such sounds also rang out in the car at the same time.

"Let's go."

Andrew rubbed his palms to warm them up, and pressed them on his face, "Go to the school."

-

"First-year students, first-year students, come over here!"

On the not-so-conspicuous platform, a giant who was much more conspicuous than the platform shouted while holding a lamp.

Andrew was standing in the middle of the line. He saw the man who should be Hagrid lower his head and whisper something to the crowd, then he repeated it loudly.

"Are there any first-year students? Follow me!" Soon, the gathered freshmen caught up with Hagrid and began to walk on the extremely rugged road.

'Logically, there should be a better way. This bumpy road should be reserved for freshmen, so in theory, it should be accompanied by words like "This road is a memory of the bumpy road of the founders of the school, and how they were able to build a school under such a difficult environment... But there is nothing..."

Andrew wasn't sure whether there were no words for them to understand on their own or the guide had forgotten to explain the words, but the road was so difficult that he lost the desire to continue complaining.

However, after passing through a path that was not easy to walk on again, they finally saw a huge castle in the distance.

Amid the admiration, Hagrid's voice was heard again.

"See those small boats? No more than four people can fit in each boat!"

...

So it is true that our ancestors traveled through mountains and rivers to establish this school, and we should learn from them, right?
Andrew complained as he squeezed into a boat with the students he knew in the box, and then moved his wand to a convenient position.

No one knew what kind of magic was cast on the boat. If a group of novices were allowed to row the boat, it would be more exciting than bumper cars. But now, the boat, which was supposed to not move, go backwards or even collide with each other, caught up with Hagrid's own boat with Andrew and the others without any human control, and even the speed was very even.

This made Andrew suppress his urge to curse, and he didn't hold the wand so tightly.

It seems that the school has anticipated the relevant situation and just did not take precautions in appearance, but in reality no accidents will occur.

"It's magic indeed."

With this mentality, Andrew was even in the mood to chat with his teammates while looking at the surrounding scenery - it was really nice, and if there were fish in the lake, he would be able to catch one.

After passing through a somewhat hidden secret passage, they finally arrived at a place that looked more like a dock.

"arrive!"

"Ah, Leif!"

Hagrid's voice was followed by Neville's scream, and his toad seemed reluctant to come ashore.

After a slight plop, Andrew heard another shout, "No!"

Then there was a series of loud thumping sounds.

His originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense, and he quickly held the wand in his hand and pointed it in the direction where the sound came from.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

But what rang out was not just one voice, but more than a dozen - it was obvious that everyone had practiced the levitation spell very seriously.

Neville's toad almost flew into the sky and was easily caught in the hand of its owner.

The other person who fell into the water was in a bad situation - she was almost dragged onto the boat by her hair, and she fell a lot.

One levitation spell was theoretically harmless, but a dozen was a different story.

The pain was secondary. She sobbed softly when she saw her falling hair.

"It's okay, Madam Pomfrey will heal you soon, and you won't miss the Sorting!"

Hagrid's level of comforting people was not very high, but fortunately he said, "She is good at catching anything, including hair."

This made the girl who was crying with her hands covering her face calm down a little.

"Go to the castle first. I'll hand them over to the professor, and then I'll take you to the school hospital. Soon you'll be exactly the same as before. Not a single hair will have changed."

Just as he said, Andrew and the others were soon brought before Professor McGonagall, and Hagrid hurriedly took the girl away after briefly explaining everything to Professor McGonagall.
