Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

Most of these students' families have Auror and Ministry of Magic backgrounds.

The Slytherin prefect in the carriage is obviously the type who doesn't know how to do it.

"Professor Lupine! Do you have any chocolates? Take some out and distribute them to those who need them?" Professor Flitwick said, turning his head to look at Lupine.

Naturally, Lupine would not refuse Flitwick's request at this juncture. He nodded, took out the chocolate as Flitwick had said, and shared a small piece with everyone in the carriage.

For the rest, there was no need for Flitwick's instructions, and the professors who followed him began to act on their own initiative.

Some students were so frightened by the attack of the dementor that they needed to be sent to the emergency room on the train for examination.

Some professors also went to other compartments to inform others and what happened on the Hogwarts train, so that they could get ready.

It's not just people. After Eric's giant eagle made a mess just now, even the structure on the carriage is somewhat loose. These tasks need to be solved by the professors before reaching the destination.

Under Flitwick's leadership, the Hogwarts teachers quickly regained control of the scene.

After doing all this, Flitwick pulled Eric and Lupine aside, and said to Eric: "Eric, don't worry, you did the right thing, no one would have thought that those dementors How dare you dare to board the train directly."

"If you are able to use the Patronus Charm at this age, you must have your own secrets, so I won't ask any more."

Flitwick smiled meaningfully at Eric, and Eric laughed knowingly at this.

As soon as he finished laughing, Flitwick immediately said seriously: "However, we still need to communicate with the Ministry of Magic through official channels on how to deal with this matter, and I will also tell the principal and the board of directors about your matter, just to inform They, you will not be punished for this, I promise."

"There is no precedent at Hogwarts for punishing a student for needing to protect himself from harm."

"We have always believed that if one day students are required to take the lead in the face of danger, it must be because we are not doing well enough."

Eric couldn't help nodding. In this regard, he and Flitwick agreed.

Fortunately, Flitwick was in charge of running the train this year.

If Professor McGonagall, the dean of Gryffindor, was on this train, although she was unlikely to blame Eric, she certainly would not agree with Eric's behavior.

This is not to say that Professor McGonagall is more demanding, but that is the rule.

After all, the Patronus Charm is a difficult spell that requires concentration.

Even the staff of the Ministry of Magic had to act in groups of two or even three when they needed to face the dementors, and their positions should be spread out as much as possible.

This is just in case, to ensure that no matter which wizard encounters an accident, there will be someone on the scene to maintain the existence of the Patronus Charm, so that they will not be threatened by the dementors.

Eric's behavior of running out to face the dementors alone, from the perspective of ordinary people, is simply courting death.

Even if it managed to beat back a dementor or two, it would undoubtedly irritate them.

Dementors don't have much sanity to speak of.

As long as a dementor can get close to Eric, there is a chance to interfere with Eric's spellcasting.

What happens next is not hard to predict.

Of course, it is also true that Eric defeated the dementors alone.

And with Professor Flitwick's escape character, even if he hesitated at the beginning, he would only affirm this behavior in the end.

How could it be possible to blame Eric.

Chapter 44 Heading to Hogwarts

After chatting with Eric for a few more words, Flitwick had to be busy dealing with the trouble Eric caused just now.

More and more professors arrived in this carriage, and Flitwick was the highest person in charge of this train.

Before leaving, Flitwick smiled meaningfully at Eric: "I hope you can come to Ravenclaw College, Eric."

"You are an undoubted genius. I know many talented wizards. They have one thing in common, that is, they are always curious about knowledge."

"I'm pretty sure you're the wizard Ravenclaw admires."

Faced with such a straightforward invitation, what else could Eric say?

To refuse is definitely not to refuse, and it seems a bit inappropriate to directly agree, as if there is something inside.

The sorting ceremony at Hogwarts is determined by the Sorting Hat. Strictly speaking, even Eric doesn't know which house he will be sorted into.

Students put on the sorting hat, and the sorting hat calls out which college, which means that student becomes a student of that college.

Some tabloids have revealed the Hogwarts sorting criteria.

At Hogwarts, each house has qualities it admires.

This is mainly related to the founders of the four colleges.

Ravenclaws seek knowledge, Gryffindors appreciate courage, Slytherins are ambitious, and Hufflepuffs are eternally loyal.

Theoretically speaking, the sorting hat will also assign each student's college according to this standard.

But Eric knew that the sorting hat actually respected the wizard's personal wishes very much.

As a sentient magical item, the Sorting Hat doesn't forcefully bend a wizard's will, nor can it.

It is only able to understand the wizard's inner thoughts, analyze them, and then make a decision.

If Eric forcefully asks which college to be assigned to, it is estimated that the Sorting Hat will not refuse.

Even if Eric is not aware of this rule, it would be the same for any student. However, most of the time, the Sorting Hat makes the choice on their behalf.

Because people are a collection of contradictions, not a single quality such as courage or curiosity.

Everyone will have a thirst for knowledge, just more or less, and naturally, if judged according to this standard, then everyone can enter Ravenclaw.

After all, forced explanations can always be explained.

Facing Professor Flitwick, Eric could only smile: "I'll try my best, Professor."

After receiving the answer, Flitwick nodded with satisfaction, turned and left.

Lupine was captured by Flitwick, and Eric, who returned to the cubicle alone, saw the pale trio again.

Harry had just woken up after being fainted by the dementor, while Hermione and Ron were simply frightened by Harry.

Both Hermione and Ron seemed a little nervous about Harry, and they didn't talk too much with Eric in front of the tired-looking Harry.

Speechless all the way.

……

It was already evening when the Hogwarts Express arrived at Hogsmeade station.

They haven't arrived at school yet, and all passengers have to get off here and take the carriage to Hogwarts.

Hogsmeade is a village next to Hogwarts, where all wizards live, and it is also the only existing village in the Rotten Kingdom composed of wizards.

So the terminal of the train is also set up here.

At this time in previous years, the sorting ceremony had already ended and the process of opening the school dinner began.

But today, because of the Dementor's accident, the train stopped for a long time, so that it only arrived at the station now.

So now almost everyone is hungry and in a hurry, wishing to enter the castle for dinner immediately.

Especially Harry, he was physically exhausted today.

Eric and the trio got out of the car together, and walked out with the crowd. Outside the platform, there were already countless carriages waiting for them.

"Then, see you at school."

After leaving the platform, Eric immediately said to the trio.

Harry froze. "What? Aren't you with us, Eric?"

Hermione next to her reminded softly: "The first-year freshmen will take a boat across the Black Lake together, and Eric can't take the carriage with us."

It dawned on Harry, and it occurred to him that Eric was different from them.

Looking at Ron's expression next to him, he obviously just remembered this.

Reminiscent of what he saw from the compartment just now, the scene where Eric commanded the giant eagle to hunt and kill the dementors, Ron's expression was a bit unreal.

With such strength, Eric is really only in the first grade?

Sure enough, as soon as Hermione finished speaking, a loud voice shouted next to her: "First-year freshmen come with me! First-years! Come to me!"

The voice seemed a little rough, spreading throughout the platform.

Hearing this, confused first-year freshmen kept walking towards that voice.

"That's Hagrid!" Harry said, and his expression became slightly better when he heard the voice, "We were enrolled in school by Hagrid, and I heard that he will teach us how to protect Fantastic creature, hurry up, Eric, see you at school."

"I'm afraid that's not the case. Eric has to go with us." Just as Harry finished speaking, a somewhat familiar voice rang in the ears of several people.

Lupine came out from the corner next to him, with a tired look on his face, and then said: "Eric, Professor Dumbledore just informed me that I will take you to the principal's office now, and Harry together .”

"The dementor matter has not been resolved, and there are still many details to be discussed. Of course, more importantly, Professor Dumbledore thinks he needs to see you."

"Don't worry, it's only a short meeting, but hopefully you won't mind missing the boat ride across the Black Lake and the last of the Sorting."

"If you want, of course you can also choose to take a boat, and then go to Professor Dumbledore after the banquet."

Eric was not surprised by Dumbledore's call.

It was no wonder Dumbledore didn't want to see him after such a big deal had happened.

It is a long-standing Hogwarts ceremony for freshmen to take a boat through the Black Lake, because that is how the first batch of students entered Hogwarts that year.

But in comparison, Eric would rather choose a more efficient means of transportation.

Eric agreed naturally: "Professor, I'm with you."

Hearing Eric say this, not only Harry, but also Hermione and Ron also showed joy.

This means that they can enter the castle with Eric and spend more time together.

"Then let's go, let's go by carriage together."

After Lupine finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out first, leading several people into the carriage pulled by thestrals.

And outside the platform, they saw dementors again. They guarded the key entrance and exit of Hogsmeade, carefully checking everyone.

Except for Eric and Lupine, the three of Harry were still a little nervous when they saw this scene.

Fortunately, after the warning, the dementor did not try to get too close to the students again.

A group of five people slowly drove towards Hogwarts.
