"Don't worry, Hermione. Harry has an owl. They can send letters to Professor McGonagall, Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Weasley … There will always be a way to get help. " Although Allen knew Harry's choice — to take a flying car to the Hogwarts, he still chose to comfort this little witch who was worried about her friends.
"You're right. Harry and Ron are both brave and smart people. They must be able to think of such a simple solution." Hermione pulled out the straw that was stirring conscientiously, and took a big gulp of iced pumpkin juice. Instantly, a cold and stimulating feeling rushed to the top of her head. Hermione put down the cup and held her head with both hands. "Merlin above, it's too cold. I've done something stupid!"
Hermione's face scrunched up, looking very funny. Allen couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, there was the sound of glass being knocked. Allen and Hermione turned their heads at the same time. Outside the train window, Benny was flapping his wings and following the train closely. He bumped into the glass from time to time to attract Allen's attention.
Allen immediately stood up and opened the window. Benny — Allen's owl — flew into the carriage and threw a roll-like thing in front of Allen. Then, he stopped on the back of the seat to comb his feathers.
"What a pretty little thing!" Allen shook his head with a smile, looking as if he couldn't do anything about Benny. He picked up the roll-like thing that Benny had thrown to him, and the words "Prophet's Daily" appeared in front of Allen's eyes. Allen passed the newspaper to Hermione. "Maybe you can read the newspaper first. I'll go get some food and water for Benny. It's not easy to catch up with the Hogwarts Express."
"The train is about to arrive. Are you still going out?" Hermione asked Allen in disbelief.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I won't delay packing!" Allen waved his hand and turned to leave.
"How considerate. Isn't he just trying to give me time to change into my gown?" Hermione keenly sensed Allen's true intentions. Allen found the salesperson on the train and bought some bread and corn. He asked for a cup and some water before carrying the food back to the carriage.
Knock, knock, knock. Allen politely knocked on the door and entered the carriage with Hermione's permission. Hermione had already changed into a Gryffindor robe and a pointy Hogwarts wizard hat.
When Allen sat back in his chair, he found that Hermione's face was pale and terrified. Her hands were tightly clutching the Daily Prophet.
"What happened?" Allen didn't understand. He guessed that Hermione had been away for a while. Why did she look as if she had been struck by lightning?
"Harry, Harry and Ron. They secretly drove away Mr. Weasley's car! They actually, actually dared to drive a flying car to Hogwarts! "Hermione's anger was obvious.
Allen was greatly surprised. How did Hermione know? Glancing at the newspaper in Hermione's hand, Allen instantly understood everything. He took the newspaper and saw the bold black headline at a glance. "Ford Anglia can fly. Muggle is greatly surprised." Allen quickly skimmed through it. "Two Muggle in London are convinced that they saw an old car flying past the Post Office building … At noon in Norfolk, Heidi Baylis was in Norfolk. Lady Bayliss was drying her clothes. Angus of Peebles? Mr. Fleet reported to the police … "
"Six or seven Muggle saw it! If they spread the news, I don't know how many staff members the Ministry of Magic will have to deploy and how many Forgetting Spells to erase the Muggle's memories! Harry and Ron have gotten into big trouble! The worst is Ron's father, Arthur Weasley. Mr. Weasley works in the office that prohibits the misuse of Muggle items, but his own son … "Hermione couldn't continue. She felt that Harry and Ron had definitely gotten into big trouble!
"It didn't say who drove the car. How can you be sure that it was Harry and Ron?" Allen was surprised by Hermione's keenness and intelligence. He couldn't help but ask.
"Ron wrote to me about driving to your house to pick up Harry. Naturally, I know that they have a flying car. I'm afraid that there aren't many families who can own such a magic car! Moreover, if Mr. Weasley was driving, how could the Muggle have discovered it? Even if it was the twin brothers, George and Fred, driving it, there wouldn't be any negligence. Thinking about how Harry and Ron didn't catch the Hogwarts Express, it's obvious who the main culprit is! "Hermione rattled off her reasons. Allen gave Hermione a thumbs up in his heart. He couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for this little witch.
"The train will arrive at the Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train. We will send it to school for you." This voice echoed in the train. Allen hurriedly asked Hermione to tear the bread into pieces and feed it to Benny. As for the water, when Allen put down the food, the smart Benny flew over to drink it himself.
Hermione immediately understood and took the plate to the corridor of the train. Soon, she heard Allen's voice calling her back. Of course it was fast! Allen only had to think about it and his clothes automatically turned into a wizard's robe. He even deliberately delayed for a while before calling Hermione!
The train slowed down and finally stopped. The passengers pushed and shoved one another as they flocked to the door and went down to a dark and small platform. Hermione absent-mindedly followed Allen through the mountain road and across the lake until they entered the resplendent auditorium. Only then did she say goodbye to Allen and went to the long table that belonged to Gryffindor.
Countless candles stopped in mid-air, illuminating the four long tables that were surrounded by people. The golden plates and goblets sparkled under the light. The ceiling was filled with dazzling stars. The ceiling was enchanted so that it could always reflect the sky outside.
But Allen wasn't in the mood to enjoy this spectacular and wonderful scene, because he didn't see Anna at the Ravenclaw table. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last contacted Anna. Now that he thought about it, at the end of the school term, Anna always looked gloomy and hesitated to speak. But he was too busy at that time and didn't have the energy to ask her. During the holidays, he thought that she had returned to her own country. It was inconvenient for owls to send letters across the distance, so they stopped contacting each other. Unexpectedly, he couldn't find Anna at Ravenclaw. Allen was a little disappointed!
It wasn't until Edward came to Allen's side in a daze and greeted Allen that Allen came back to his senses.
"What's going on? You look more lost than me?" Edward bumped Allen's shoulder.
