บท 92: Flying Car
"Harry and Ronald, and a car flying in the sky?"
Hermione rubbed her eyes and checked again. Only then did she realize she wasn't dazzled; there was really a car flying.
"Ronald, did he actually drive out the car?"
Fred found it hard to believe; something was about to happen!
Whether they went to pick up Harry and Ethan or circled over the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, they always turned on the invisibility mode and only appeared when picking up people. Ronald drove out with a swagger.
Wasn't this causing trouble for the family?
"And he took Harry with him!"
Ginny's face was also extremely ugly.
Especially when Harry was hanging on the car door just now; she wanted to hammer Ronald to death.
"What is Ronald thinking?"
George was full of doubts. He knew Ronald wanted to be in the limelight and attract attention.
But this wasn't the way!
If he implicated his father, he might even be expelled, and Harry will also face problems.
Listening to the words of these three people, they had probably sentenced Ronald to death in their hearts.
And there was speculation: 'Dad was expelled from the Ministry of Magic, Harry and Ronald were expelled.'
But the premise of all this was that the Weasley family was not pure-blooded, and Dumbledore would not interfere.
Ronald was the son of his loyal younger brother, and Harry was the savior he had trained. Dumbledore would definitely not let it happen; it would only be a matter of deducting points.
"Gryffindor is not '100,' and points will be deducted before the start of school!"
Hermione's focus was a little different. She still attached great importance to honor. Last year, Snape had deducted points, and Gryffindor had many stubborn members dragging their feet.
This school year, she was ready to work hard, but before school even started, this year's House Cup was already in jeopardy.
"Don't worry; points will definitely be deducted. Do you think Professor Snape will pass up this opportunity?"
Ethan said mercilessly.
At this time, Ronald and Harry outside also noticed the situation in the carriage and slowly approached.
"Ethan, Ginny..." Harry waved frantically in their direction, but his hand froze when he saw the expressions of the people inside. They were looking at him with pity. Why? Harry didn't quite understand, but Ronald knew and immediately sped up, rushing to Hogwarts to enter in advance and hide the car, which might be concealed.
But as they approached, everyone on the Hogwarts Express spotted them. "Let's go find Percy and ask him to inform Professor McGonagall about the car. We'll come back to you when we get to Hogwarts."
Fred said as he pulled Ginny away quickly. This matter could not be concealed. He was not as optimistic as Ronald.
The car was not invisible. It might be exposed to the eyes of Muggles. Even if the Muggles did not see it, it would be a big problem if so many young wizards did
There was naturally a way to contact Hogwarts on the train, but it could only be used by the prefects.
"They should be expelled!"
To be honest, Hermione really had this idea. Although it was a bit inappropriate, they knew each other after all.
But they were too troublesome. Last year, they were the main force behind Gryffindor's point deductions. Although they had inexplicably gained 50 points, it was not enough to offset their deductions.
Without them, there was no hope this year. Maybe they could compete for the House Cup next year.
"No, he is the savior!"
"We will all be expelled, but he will not be expelled!"
Ethan said affirmatively. Hermione frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
Cho Chang and Cassandra nodded thoughtfully, obviously agreeing with Ethan's opinion.
Soon, the matter of Harry and Ronald was forgotten by everyone. Under Cho Chang's leadership, Cassandra and Hermione began to talk about their interesting stories from the summer vacation.
As the sky darkened, the speed of the Hogwarts Express gradually slowed down.
Ethan and others also changed into their wizard robes.
At the moment the train stopped, they followed the flow of people to the center of the platform.
This year's freshman guide was still Hagrid, who was waiting by the side with a lamp for everyone to get off the train.
But this had nothing to do with Ethan, who was already in his second year. After saying hello to Hagrid, he went to the location of the Thestral carriage.
They arrived at the Hogwarts Quidditch venue smoothly. After Ethan and the others got off the bus here, they separated and headed for their respective House teams.
In front of them was an old man with many alchemical limbs who was collecting the Thestrals. He did this every year.
Before the young wizards got on the bus, he put the reins on the Thestrals, and after they got off, he had to untie them.
"I heard that this is Professor Kettleburn's last year."
Cho Chang took the Care of Magical Creatures class, but at that time a senior student told her that Professor Kettleburn had decided to retire. The senior student was quite excited.
The reason was also explained later. Professor Kettleburn liked to use dangerous magical animals in class, and accidents happened from time to time, causing everyone to be nervous every Care of Magical Creatures class.
"Well, Professor Kettleburn is probably a hundred years old, and it's time for him to retire!"
Ethan also remembered that Hagrid was the professor of Care of Magical Creatures when Harry was in his third year.
When he patrolled with Hagrid before, he heard Hagrid say that the two had a good relationship, and Kettleburn had also helped him a lot.
Ethan felt that the reason the two could get along well was because they both liked extremely dangerous magical animals. But since Hagrid was a half-giant with good physical fitness, nothing happened to him, while Kettleburn, who had only one hand and half a leg left, had suffered more.
"So old?" Cho Chang was a little surprised. "When the previous headmaster, Armando Dippet, was in office, Professor Kettleburn had already taught at Hogwarts." But Ethan didn't mention that this professor had caused a lot of trouble and had a very strained relationship with the then headmaster, Armando Dippet.
"Senior Sister Avonna said that the Care of Magical Creatures class..." The two of them chatted all the way to the auditorium, but this year's auditorium was a little strange.
There was no problem with the setup, but Professor McGonagall, who had been responsible for welcoming the freshmen and presiding over the Sorting Ceremony in previous years, was nowhere to be seen.
Snape was not there either, and Dumbledore, who usually occupied the central position, had not arrived.
Not long after, Professor Sprout stood up and walked out of the auditorium. In other words, this year's reception was handled by Professor Sprout. Due to the incident with Harry and Ronald, this year's opening dinner omitted quite a few steps.
Professor Sprout brought the freshmen directly over without making them wait. Ethan spotted Luna standing out from the crowd immediately.
She was still wearing carrot-shaped earrings and a necklace made of Butterbeer bottle corks, which made her stand out wherever she went.
Next to her was Ginny, who looked quite depressed.
As the new wizards stood up, the Sorting Hat began to sing its annual song. This was a song that had been thought of for a year. Even if Dumbledore was not present, it had to sing.
As the song, which had been composed over the year but was still lackluster, ended, the Sorting Ceremony began.
As Professor Sprout read out the names, the wizards came forward to be sorted into their houses.
Just like when Ethan and others were sorted in their first year, every time a wizard put on the hat, the house that was selected would applaud and cheer.
"Luna Lovegood!"
Soon it was Luna's turn. She jumped forward, and with her carrot-shaped earrings and necklace made of Butterbeer bottle corks, she really looked like a quirky girl...
However, after Luna picked up the Sorting Hat, she did not sit on the stool and put the hat on immediately; instead, she kept flipping through it in her hand, as if she had other ideas.
Suddenly, the Sorting Hat cried out in panic. This was the first time many people had heard the Sorting Hat say anything other than singing or naming the four houses.
"Pomona, stop her quickly! She wants to clean me!"
"I'm not shabby or dirty at all. This is a symbol of honor."
Every year, many young wizards have such ideas. They dislike their own dirtiness and want to mend and clean themselves, but they only think about it and do not act on it.
Only this little witch is really brave!
The Sorting Hat could sense that if no one stopped her, she would definitely clean and mend it.
As a hat with a thousand years of history and the hat of Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts, it was also blessed with the ideas of the four founders and had its own persistence and pride.
The dirt and traces on it were symbols of honor, representing its long association with Hogwarts.
"Miss Lovegood!"
Professor Sprout had to come forward; there could be no accidents during the Sorting Ceremony. If the Sorting Hat were annoyed, it might go on strike, which would be a disaster.
With a look of regret, Luna sat on the stool and put the hat on.
"Ravenclaw!"
Although Luna's dress and behavior were a bit eccentric, Ravenclaw still gave her a hearty round of applause.
"Ginny Weasley!"
When Ginny came on stage, there were not many freshmen left.
But before the sorting began, Gryffindor erupted in cheers, especially Fred and George, who had stood up.
They had already determined that Ginny would belong to Gryffindor.
But after Ginny put on the hat, there was still no result for three full minutes.
"Gryffindor!"
Ethan was relieved to see Ginny sorted into Gryffindor. It was obvious that she was also negotiating with the Sorting Hat, insisting on joining Gryffindor.
If it weren't for her family and Harry, she might not have been placed in Gryffindor.
Just like Percy, who was ambitious, excellent, and pure-blood, Slytherin was his natural home. He chose Gryffindor simply because the Weasleys were all Gryffindors.
The Weasley family is actually quite remarkable and fully worthy of their pure-blood status.
Dad Arthur is strong and skilled in alchemy.
Mom Molly defeated Bellatrix alone.
Bill, with twelve O.W.L.s, went to work at Gringotts.
Charlie went to the Dragon Sanctuary; without enough strength, he would be seeking death.
Percy had twelve O.W.L.s last school year and a bright future.
The twins, not fond of studying but talented in spells, alchemy, and potions, are the best among their peers.
Ginny was also skilled with the Bat-Bogey Hex, a spell that made her famous after she overpowered Draco Malfoy and the Inquisitorial Squad.
Ginny got the desired result, and her expression was a little excited as she ran to the Gryffindor table.
Until the end of the Sorting Ceremony, Dumbledore led Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall back, with Harry following behind.
Snape's face was dark, probably because he had failed to achieve his goal again.
Harry was definitely the first person who could make a headmaster and two professors miss the opening dinner all by himself.
After Dumbledore spoke a few words, he asked the prefects to lead everyone back to the common room.
Apparently, he was not in the mood to chat as he did last year. The matter of Harry and Ronald was enough to give him a headache.
