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

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.

Chapter 166: The twists and turns of the branch

"Hey! Bajir!"

"Long time no see, Granger!"

"You really went to France?"

"I saw you in Hogsmeade the other day. Where's that French girl?"

The four long college tables gradually filled up with chattering students.

But few noticed the changes in the auditorium.

Each of them focused more on Bagir.

Some students who had had brief conversations with him or met him a few times even boldly came forward to say hello.

There is no shortage of students from the outer houses of Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff.

But the most outrageous ones are the Slytherin students.

Their table was on the left side of the hall, which meant they had to pass through the long tables of Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff to get to where Badgill was at the long table of Gryffindor at the end of the right side of the hall.

As for the students of the same class who were really familiar with Bajir, they sat at their desks in their own colleges with some inexplicable pride. They seemed to regard this as a strange honor and did not choose to disturb him.

Closer students from the same college or even the same dormitory occupied the seats around him.

It's all in good order.

Bagir didn't even need to plan it himself, and there was no communication between them.

But they cleverly allocated the seats around Bagir according to their closeness to the family.

The side opposite Badgill and Hermione was left to Seamus and Neville.

His left side was left empty for Harry and Ron.

Soon, the two of them arrived.

As soon as Ron arrived, he looked at the empty gold disc, and then looked to the front left.

He frowned: "No, why are there so many more tableware?"

“I didn’t expect you to notice it first.” The voice came from the ghost floating next to them—Nearly Headless Nick, the resident ghost of the Gryffindor Tower at Hogwarts.

"Nick!" Harry gasped.

Part of Nick's skirt seeped into Harry's shoulders, making it feel as if there was a cold winter there.

Baguirre looked over and almost thought it was Nick Lemay's Nick.

The ghost's full name is Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington.
