Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 120 Giving Ginny a gift, the little girl is embarrassed
The first day of school.

Dylan woke up early in the morning.

The Hawkwoods drove him to King's Cross Station.

"Be safe, dear." Maeve smoothed the wrinkles on her son's robe collar. The protective spell attached to her pearl earrings glowed light blue in the morning light.

——That's what Dylan did to her, and of course, his father also had a part in it.

"Don't worry, Mom, I will, and you too. Don't play too much and make more money. I have a lot of research that needs financial support." Dylan also said with a smile.

"This is the twenty-fifth time you've said this. Don't worry, son. Your mother and I will earn enough money for you." Hubert looked at his son helplessly.

"Hehe, I believe in my dad's ability!" Dylan waved at the two of them.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Dylan pushed the luggage cart and rushed into Platform 9 3/4.

The morning mist, carrying the smoke from the steam locomotive, rolled across the platform. The train had already stopped on the tracks, and Dylan looked left and right but could not see the Weasleys, including Harry and his friends.

Dylan walked around the train twice, back and forth, but still couldn't find them on the train.

"I've already reminded you, how could you still be late?"

Dylan blinked, revealing a pocket watch on his sleeve, its silver chain swaying gently to the rhythm of the Platform Nine and Three-Quarters clock.

However, he didn't plan to stand here and wait for someone. Instead, he found a carriage close to the platform, strode in, and sat in.

He took out a book written by Lockhart and started to read it.

Before that——

He brushed the tip of his wand across the cover of Lockhart's new book for the third time.

——The portrait of the author, who was posing coquettishly, was immediately silenced by a temporary silencing spell, suppressing his noisy self-introduction.

Dylan then opened the book.

It has to be said that although Lockhart is timid, cowardly, hypocritical and arrogant, he has mastered the Oblivion Charm, is very smooth-talking, and is good at climbing up the pole.

——Otherwise, he would not have been able to have so many adventures.

After all, Lockhart wasn't that familiar with Legilimency.

"It's really well written, but some of the details, perhaps because this guy didn't get them out of the person, are a bit muddled."

Dylan did not study Lockhart's book too carefully, he just glanced through it.

Because a lot of it was Lockhart's self-boasting and showing off, Dylan had no intention of reading this part.

——He is much better at bragging than Lockhart.

——During the days of fighting on the forum, he learned a lot about the charm of languages.

"Well, it feels like picking eggs among bones."

Despite only a cursory glance, Dylan quickly flipped through most of the book.

——This is also due to the fact that his previous achievement rewards included the reward of accelerated reading.

I can't say that I can read ten lines at a glance, but I can still read three or four lines at a glance and basically understand the meaning of the content.

And as his mental strength grows, his reading skills will become even better.

When I read "The moonstone on the snowman's crown is actually a replica from shop 93 in Diagon Alley, and the original is in my hands."

Dylan sneered and used a quill to cross out the entire exaggerated description. The word "nonsense" in the wet ink twisted into a mocking face on the parchment.

"Woo——"

The train whistle suddenly blew a long roar.

Time flies and the car is about to start.

Dylan raised his head and looked out the window, just in time to see the Weasley family rushing out from between the pillars.

"Merlin's beard!" Mrs. Molly screamed, startling the barn owl in the owl cage beside her.

Mrs. Molly's left hand was holding Ginny's collar to prevent her little daughter from falling behind, and she was waving her wand in her right hand, making five suitcases juggle in the air.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately threw all those things into the car.

"Shhhhh!"

The Weasleys' luggage slammed into the nearest car door like a shower of meteorites. Ginny's second-hand textbooks fell out of the broken suitcase. When Fred used a levitation spell to pick them up, the pages of "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi" were still turning.

Through the window, Dylan could hear Mrs. Molly's anxious voice: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get in first!"

Percy's hair was rarely messy, and his prefect badge was pinned askew on his wrinkled school robes. As he ran, he tried to use a cleaning spell to smooth out the cuffs that were blackened by the twins' fireworks.

But the train was about to leave, so he had to hurriedly take his two twin brothers into the carriage. Ginny also hurriedly got on the train under the command of Mrs. Molly.

Dylan didn't see Ron and Harry, and knowing that they were bound to be late, he ignored them.

The train doors closed completely, and Dylan and Mrs. Molly looked at each other.

He waved politely to the other person as a greeting.

When Mrs. Molly saw Dylan, there was some surprise in her eyes, but it was not easy to say anything now, so she could only wave her hand and give a wry smile through the steam.

Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and was stunned for a moment. Her eyes turned and looked left and right, and soon her face showed some anxiety.

"Ugh——!"

The car moved.

Dylan left the carriage door open, and a stern voice followed: "I can't believe they missed the train to Hogwarts because they were having fun!"

The future Head Boy pushed his two younger brothers in breathlessly and happened to see Dylan.

The two greeted each other, and seeing that Dylan's carriage was empty, Percy put his younger brothers and sisters there.

"Sit here and stay. I'm going to the prefect's carriage."

Percy put his brother and sister's luggage in, then fixed his hair, used a Transfiguration spell to fix his crooked bow tie, and with slightly trembling fingertips, stuffed the twins' trick-or-treaters into the seat compartment.

Then he picked up his luggage and turned away with an unhappy look on his face.

Dylan blinked and sat the twins and Ginny down before speaking, "What brings you so late? I'm almost done with this book."

He waved Lockhart's bestseller, A Year with the Tibetan Yeti, in his hand.

Fred and George sighed, "We're ready, but there were some problems on the way here. Ron and Harry always get tripped up by something."

Dylan tilted his head, "So what did Percy mean by playful?"

The twins looked at each other and scratched their heads. "Well, we were playing flying chess last night, and it was already early in the morning. No one could get up in the morning, especially Ron and the other two, so Mom asked us to come here first."

"Flying chess? You guys play that too?"

"My dad got them. He said we should try them out first, and then he would study how to turn them into magic flying chess."

Dylan nodded: "You guys are really generous."

Ginny sat aside, a little worried: "Will we get points deducted?"

She hasn't even started school yet, but she's already facing penalty points deduction, and the person who's having points deducted is her brother.
"You haven't been sorted yet, so you're not necessarily Gryffindor." Dylan laughed.

"I will definitely get into Gryffindor!" Ginny said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I think you will too." Dylan patted Ginny's head. "I think Harry and the others probably won't have Gryffindor deduct points. They'll just get detention—maybe."

"Huh?" Ginny was stunned.

"I want to read a book. I specially reserved this carriage. You can sit here or go find other friends to play with." Dylan lowered his head and prepared to continue reading.

The twins nodded. "Ginny, just sit still and don't run around. Your brother Dylan will keep an eye on you."

As soon as the two men finished speaking, they rushed out of the compartment without giving Dylan any time to react.

Dylan opened his mouth, then closed it again, the corner of his mouth twitching.

His eyes shifted to Ginny.

The oak paneling of the carriage glowed honey-colored in the midday light.

The book "Travels with the Snowmen of Tibet" turned by itself on Dylan's lap, but instead of turning the page, it stood upright.

—Stuck to the bottom right corner of the parchment page was a piece of non-stick bubble gum from the prank George had just played before slipping out the door.

Ginny huddled in the velvet cushions, wrinkling the cuffs of her new school robes. The sunlight filtered through the car window, dyeing the freckles on her nose golden.

She also noticed her brother's prank and felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, Dylan, they always do this."

Dylan shook his head. "This is non-stick bubble gum. It can be taken off directly. They don't dare to use real chewing gum on my books."

Ginny blinked, recalling how her two naughty brothers had always behaved well when Dylan had been at her house some time ago.

She couldn't help but ask, "Dylan, are you very strict? I think Fred and the others seem afraid of you."

Dylan smiled and said, "Do you think I'm harsh?"

Ginny thought for a moment and slowly shook her head, "No, I think you have a very good personality, and you're very sweet—much sweeter than my brothers."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. Have a cup of hot cocoa. Also, would you like some Fizzy Bee Candy?"

Dylan poured Ginny a cup of hot cocoa with his wand and pulled a rainbow-colored candy from his pocket.

"This was specially made by Fred. He added a little surprise in it - but don't worry, it won't turn into a frog this time."

Ginny looked at Dylan's white, slender fingers and blinked. The tips of her ears gradually turned red, as if they were under a dyeing spell.

When she took the candy, her fingertips touched the shallow wand calluses on the boy's palm, which were the marks caused by the time he accompanied the twins to experiment with retractable ears in the backyard of the Burrow.

——Or it could have been created while researching some evil experiment.

The candy wrapper rustled in her palm, suddenly transformed into a fluttering robin, and then returned to its original form before she could scream.

"They always like to do these tricks." Dylan flicked his wand and used a levitation spell to fix Ginny's suitcase that was about to slide off the seat.

Through the crack in the box lid, you can see a second-hand copy of "The Standard Book of Spells: Elementary" inside, with the name "Roger Davis" written in faded ink on the spine.

"Oh, they ran out to play without helping me put my luggage away, and it almost fell." Ginny pouted. "If it breaks, Mom won't have the money to buy me a new suitcase."

Dylan paused and looked at Ginny: "The clothes are very beautiful. Are they new clothes customized for you by Mrs. Molly?"

"Yes, but there is only this one. Mom said she would send me another one later so I can wear it first."

Ginny jumped off her chair and placed the suitcase at her feet before sitting back down, touching her new clothes and smiling. Dylan smiled back and waved his wand.

"I didn't give you any gifts before, and your birthday just passed, and I didn't give you anything either. Consider this my compensation."

When a gift box with moonstone patterns was placed on the small table, the bubble gum that the twins used for their prank suddenly turned into an emerald frog and jumped into Ginny's cup of hot cocoa with a plop.

".It seems George and the others have saved an extra little surprise."

Dylan narrowed his eyes, memorized the two guys in his mind, and then waved his wand lightly. The cocoa stains splashed on the book immediately turned into a flapping robin and flew out through the gap in the compartment door.

"Ah? A gift?" Ginny was stunned.

When the anti-theft spell was lifted, a silver-blue lotus blossomed from the gift box, and three women's wizard robes appeared, their sleeves swaying slightly in the shaking of the train.

"This... is for me?" Ginny's eyes widened, her worn leather boots unconsciously brushing against the suitcase under the seat, which actually contained a spare robe that Molly had made from old curtains and her previous school uniform.

So that she won't be completely without clothes to wear when she encounters special situations.

Dylan smiled and said, "Yes, if you think of me as your brother, then take it. Girls need to wear new clothes."

Ginny was stunned by Dylan's words. Although her mind told her that she shouldn't just accept other people's gifts, but -

He bought all of it, and it was girls' clothes, so Dylan couldn't wear them himself.

In the end, Ginny accepted the gift while expressing her gratitude.

On the rest of the journey, Ginny was very happy and did not disturb Dylan from reading. Instead, she sat opposite him, looking at the scenery that quickly disappeared outside the window, and entertained herself.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard, Dylan's compartment door was opened from the outside, and the twins' voices were heard.

"Hey! Dylan, look outside! It's Harry, it's Harry and the others!"

Fred, with some dark marks still on his face, appeared in front of Dylan.

George's head popped over from behind: "I can't believe they actually drove here!"

Dylan glanced at the two idiots.

Seeing that they didn't mention their prank, he turned and looked out the window.

At first, nothing could be seen, but soon, a Ford car flew past the window, swaying left and right, twisting and turning in the air, but always moving in the same direction as the train.

Ginny was still touching the gift box beside her with one hand. When she looked at the car in the sky that she was very familiar with, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Who's driving?"

"I guess it should be your brother."

As the car nosedived, Dylan saw the people sitting in it.

There were only Harry and Ron.

Ginny's mouth dropped open. "Don't tell me my mom and dad aren't up there either."

"You guessed it right, yes, they're not here." Dylan shrugged.

Ginny felt like her eyelids were dancing.

"Oh my God! Will nothing happen to them?!"

Ginny didn't understand why her parents allowed Harry and Ron to drive here by themselves.

What if something goes wrong?
For a moment, Ginny couldn't help but worry about the two people in the car.

After all, one is the person she has always admired, and the other is her brother.

But while she was worried, a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

"Aren't they being too reckless?"

This was completely different from Ginny's attitude.

The two idiot twins stared at the Ford car flying crookedly in the air, their eyes full of envy.

"These two are just cheating!"

"You didn't even bring us along! That's too much!"

"This is a chance to show off in front of the whole school!"

"But now this opportunity can only be snatched away by Harry and Ron!"

The train soon entered a deserted area.

The magic car also crossed a snowy mountain, but flew into the clouds and mist, and its specific figure and location could no longer be seen.

Dylan knew that Harry and the others would be fine in the end, so he read his book with peace of mind. As for the twins, they had already run away.

Only Ginny was sitting in her seat, looking worried and anxious, worried about Harry and Ron.

As time went by, more and more magical and fantastical scenes appeared.

Hogwarts is almost here.

After getting off the bus, there was a buzz of discussion among the crowd.

Ginny looked back every few steps along the way, hoping to see the magic car, but the result was naturally disappointing.

Finally, she was taken by Dylan and returned to Hogwarts after reuniting with Neville.

Of course, Ginny went to wait outside the Great Hall with the first years.

Dylan and Neville entered the golden and red auditorium together, found the Gryffindor seat, and sat down casually.

After a while, Hermione appeared and walked over quickly after seeing Dylan.

As a result, when the sorting ceremony was about to begin, Hermione still didn't see the other two people.

She couldn't help but lean over and whispered to Dylan, "What's going on? Where are the two of them?"

Even though Dylan was sitting in the hall, he was still reading. After hearing Hermione's words, he shook his head.

"I guess he'll be back soon. It's okay, don't worry about it."

Hermione's mouth twitched.

How could this not be a concern?
The more Dylan said this, the more she cared!

"Why are there professors absent from the teacher's seats?" Hermione glanced over and found that Professor Snape had not entered.

"Could it be the magic flying car we saw on the road..." Hermione thought of something and her eyes widened.

Neville did hear Dylan say this on the way here, but now he didn't know how to explain it to Hermione.

Until the sorting ceremony began, the freshmen entered and were assigned to the four major colleges one after another.

Hermione noticed that Professor Snape, who had not appeared at first, wrapped himself in his robes, strode to Professor McGonagall and whispered a few words to her.

Professor McGonagall's kind smile collapsed in an instant.

Next, she put hats on the first-year students at a noticeably faster pace.

"Gryffindor!"

"Next person."

"Hufflepuff!"

"Next person."

"Slytherin!"

"Get down quickly."

Professor Snape, who was standing aside, twitched his face.

Until the sorting ceremony was completely over.

Professor McGonagall turned around, winked at Professor Dumbledore, then handed over her cards to Snape beside her and walked out of the hall together.

After all the students were seated, Old Man Dumbledore gave a normal opening speech and introduced the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to the students. Then he stood up and left the auditorium.

"Oh, goodbye..." Hermione looked at Dumbledore's departing back with a headache.

School has just started.

Why did she have a feeling that her Gryffindor points were going to be deducted to negative points?
"I hope my performance in class can make up for this shortcoming."

The opening ceremony ended quickly.

After everyone had finished their meal, they returned to the common room of their respective colleges under the guidance of their class leaders.

Ginny stayed with Percy - the twins had disappeared and were now chatting with someone somewhere.

From time to time, she would turn her head and try to catch a glimpse of Dylan.

It was not until Percy led everyone into the Gryffindor common room that Ginny looked at Dylan and saw him nod in response. Then she quickly lowered her head and went back to the dormitory with her roommates to make their beds.

Dylan didn't explain anything further to Hermione and returned to the dormitory on his own.

Neville stayed and talked with Hermione.

Finally, after a long while, Harry and Len returned to the lounge.

Since school has just started, many people are not in the dormitory. Instead, they stay in the lounge and chat with friends they haven't seen for a long time.

When they saw them come back, they immediately stopped everything they were doing, rushed over, and surrounded the two of them.

"Hey, Harry! Did you get expelled from school?"

No one knew who asked the question, but as soon as it was asked, Harry and Ron's eyes went dark.

"No, no, he wasn't expelled and we didn't have any points taken away from Gryffindor."

Harry and Ron explained for a long time until Percy came over with a stern face. The two of them hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and returned to the dormitory.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Dylan reading a book alone in the dormitory.

"Merlin's pants, Dylan, I want to be as free as you~!"

Ron howled.

"You can't imagine how we were punished!"
