Chương 8: Chapter 8: Kael : Paranoid? Not a Chance
<Evening>
<Corridor outside the Great Hall, Hogwarts Castle>
Hagrid had welcomed many batches of new students over the years.
Most of them arrived with a sense of curiosity about Hogwarts, their faces showing a mix of excitement. A few timid ones might remain quiet, but an entire group crying hysterically... that was a first.
The sound of their wailing made his head throb!
"Oh, I think you've misunderstood. I'm not a giant..."
"I'm half-giant..."
Though reluctant to admit it, Hagrid patiently explained, his voice sounding deep and booming. After all, his massive size made his voice naturally much louder than the average person.
"A half-giant? That's terrifying!"
"I don't want to take the Sorting Test!"
"I want to go home!"
As soon as Hagrid finished his sentence, the crying grew even more intense.
Hagrid: "???"
...
At that moment, Kael also got off the train, carrying a shoulder bag—a bag enchanted with an "Undetectable Extension Charm." It contained a portion of Kael's belongings.
Hogwarts, with the greatest white wizard of the century, was a very safe place. So, compared to his time in Knockturn Alley, Kael didn't bring too much. Just a few poisons, some homemade hidden weapons, magical tools, and some firearms he had collected from the Muggle world over the years.
Pistols, rifles, machine guns, grenades, a rocket launcher, and a small mushroom cloud bomb—that's all.
Kael was not someone overly concerned with danger. Paranoia? Never heard of it! So, his preparations weren't overly extensive—just enough to arm half a battalion.
Kael's face showed a hint of excitement. He even whistled softly. He had scored big on the train just now, collecting over a hundred treasure chests—ranging from bronze to golden. The only diamond chest came from Malfoy. Hogwarts was truly a great place.
As the old saying goes: "A house built on good deeds will prosper."
If he kept this up and maintained his "kind" demeanor, he'd be swimming in treasure chests soon enough.
...
"Alright, whatever you're thinking, follow me," Hagrid muttered a few words and finally shouted loudly, "First-years, we need to take boats to Hogwarts."
A group of nervous little wizards trembled as they followed Hagrid. They boarded the boats, four to each. Kael joined the main group but didn't see the trio—they were probably on some other boat, discussing how to survive the night with Neville.
On his boat were three unfamiliar faces.
"Everyone, duck your heads," Hagrid instructed as they approached a cliff. Everyone obediently ducked down, except for Kael , who sat upright, looking up and seeing at least a meter of space above them. He glanced around at the little wizards who were practically hugging the floor of the boat.
Really, guys? Do you have some misunderstanding about your height?
...
Passing through a cliffside tunnel, they arrived at a dock-like area beneath the castle, where a stern-looking witch in a green robe was waiting.
It was Professor McGonagall.
"Hagrid, did everything go smoothly?" Professor McGonagall immediately spotted the towering Hagrid on the lead boat.
"It was... smooth enough, I suppose?" Hagrid mumbled as he stepped ashore.
Smooth? Enough? Professor McGonagall was baffled by his reply. She turned to look at the newly arrived students. It had been too dark in the river tunnel, but now, under the clearer light, she could see…
Oh my!
Every child had tears and snot running down their faces—snot from the cold, tears from crying. Most of them were still quietly sobbing.
"Alright, children, welcome to Hogwarts. Before we begin, we have a sorting ceremony,"
Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and began her usual introductory speech.
Just as she mentioned the sorting ceremony...
"No, I don't want to take the Sorting Test!"
"It's a witch! My Father says that old witches will kidnap children!"
"I want to go home!"
At that moment, Professor McGonagall finally understood why Hagrid had said it was "smooth enough." What part of this was "smooth"?!
She cast a severe glance around and finally spotted kael, who looked relaxed and was even whistling among the crowd.
kael had just earned three more bronze and two silver chests. In half a day, he had made more progress than he had in half a year in Knockturn Alley. Kael was so delighted that he almost started singing "Happy Days Are Here Again."
Noticing the stern look from Professor McGonagall, when their eyes met. He sensed her questioning, condemnation, and criticism.
Kael felt like he should do something! After all, he was a part of Hogwarts now!
"Stop crying, everyone!"
"If your parents sent you here, it means they've already abandoned you."
"You'd better focus on how to survive the sorting test!"
The crying stopped for three seconds.
And then…
The noise level tripled!
[Ding! Anger detected!][Ding! Drawing a treasure chest for the host!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Diamond Chest!]
A brilliant diamond chest, glowing with dazzling light, appeared on Professor McGonagall's body—visible only to Kael.
