If Elwyn had to use one word to describe this trip, it would be terrible. 【Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net





Especially when they were about to reach the Hogwarts, the car was obviously exhausted. After a hoarse skid, it landed on the whacking willow next to the Forbidden Forest of the school, making the already terrible trip even worse.

The branches whipped wildly, and seeing that he was at risk of being smashed into meat paste, Elwyn closed his eyes in fear. He could hear the screams of Ron and Harry.

The car was severely deformed, and the scattered glass shards cut the boys' cheeks.

Elwyn wanted to take out his wand, but to no avail. The car shook violently, and he and Harry crashed into each other. Outside, a branch as thick as a battering ram was madly hitting the roof of the car, and the roof looked like it was going to cave in.

"Run!" Ron shouted, and used all his strength to push the door open. Then, he was hit hard by another branch and fell back.

"We're finished!" The roof of the car collapsed, and there was only one last hit left.

Just when the three of them were in despair, the car engine suddenly restarted, and they escaped from under the whacking willow.

Before Elwyn had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he was thrown out of the car. Next to him were Harry, Ron, and their luggage. Then, he saw the car drive into the darkness without looking back, its tail lights still flashing angrily. 【Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net





"Can you believe that we have such bad luck? There are so many trees, and we just had to hit the one that hits people!" Ron had a bitter face, and he bent over to pick up the mouse. His wand was broken when he landed, and it was only connected by a few pieces of wood.

He looked back at the old tree, which was still waving its branches threateningly.

"Let's go!" Harry said tiredly, "We'd better get into school. Elwyn still has to go through the sorting process. We'll make it in time."

It was not the victory they had imagined at first. The three boys' limbs were stiff, and their bodies were cold and sore. They seized the broken box and began dragging it up the grassy slope towards the double oaken doors.

"Look, the banquet has already begun!" Ron pointed at a bright window in the auditorium and said, "Hey, we better hurry up. I saw Professor Meg take out the sorting hat. The sorting is about to begin!"

Harry and Elwyn looked in the direction of Ron's finger.

In the spacious and bright auditorium, countless candles were suspended in mid-air. Below them were four long tables filled with people. The golden plates and goblets on the tables were sparkling, reflecting the stars on the ceiling.

Elwyn had read in "A History of the Hogwarts" that the ceiling was enchanted and could reflect the sky outside.

Through the densely packed black pointed Hogwarts hats, Elwyn saw the new students queuing nervously into the auditorium. Ginny was among them. Her face was pale, and she looked around as if she was looking for herself.

At the same time, Professor Meg, who was wearing glasses and had his hair tied up tightly in a small bun, put the famous Hogwarts sorting hat on the bench in front of the new students.

Professor Meg began to read the names. A very thin, gray-haired boy was called to the front and put on the sorting hat.

"Hurry up. It'll take five minutes to go through the corridor to the auditorium. I hope we don't run into Mischievous."

"Wait!" Harry suddenly said in a low voice. "There's an empty seat in the teacher's seat. Where's Snape?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's sick!" Ron said hopefully.

"Maybe he left," Harry said excitedly. "Because he didn't become a Defense Against Black Magic teacher!"

"Maybe he was fired!" Ron also became excited. "Think about it. Everyone hates him!"

"Maybe he's standing outside the gate, waiting for us to explain to him why he didn't take the school train." Elwyn sighed heavily.

He saw a skinny, greyish-yellow skin man with a hooked nose and long oily hair that reached his shoulders standing on the steps outside the castle gate, looking at them coldly.

The smile on Snape's face told Elwyn that the three of them were in a very bad situation.

"Ah, look who I've met. The famous Harry Potter and his two good friends." Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Along with a low hissing sound, Ivan saw Professor Snape glancing at him with disgust. "You guys must think that the school train isn't satisfying enough and want to play something more exciting, right?"

"Sir, we don't. It's the wall of the Kings Cross Railway Station. It …"

"Be quiet!" Snape said coldly. "Follow me!"

They followed Snape up the steps and into the empty and echoing hall where the torches were lit. The aroma of food wafted from the auditorium, but Snape led them away from the warmth and light and down the narrow stone stairs to the underground classroom.

"Sir, we have to go to the auditorium. Elwyn has to do the sorting," Harry said bravely.

"Be quiet!" Snape interrupted Harry again. He opened a door in the cold corridor and pointed inside. "Go in!"

Under Snape's watchful eyes, the three boys walked into his office, trembling.

The walls were dark, and there were many large glass jars on the shelves along the wall. The jars were filled with various colors and disgusting liquids. The fireplace was empty and dark.

Snape closed the door and turned to look at the three of them.

Like a poisonous snake observing its prey, he asked coldly after a long time, "What did you do to the car?"

"What?!" Ron was tongue-tied. He did not know how Snape knew about the car. Could it be that he could see through other people's minds?

"Weasley, although I don't have any illusions about your empty mind, you are still a good person. Snape unfolded a copy of Prophet Japan that day. "But obviously, you've been seen!"

He showed them the headline: Ford Anglia Car Can Fly. Muggle was shocked.

A sneer appeared on Snape's face, and he read aloud, "Two Muggle in London believe that they saw an old car fly over the Post Office Building … At noon in Norfolk, Mr. Angus Fleet of Peebles reported to the police that there were six or seven Muggles in total while Mrs. Heidi Bellis was drying clothes."

"I remember that your father worked in the Department of Prohibition of Muggle Abuse?" He looked up at Ron, and his smile became more sinister. "Oh my, his own son …"

Elwyn noticed that Harry and Ron looked very upset. They seemed to have just realized that if someone found out that Mr. Weasley had cast a spell on the car, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Also!" Snape continued, "When I was inspecting the garden, I found that a very valuable Whomping Willow seemed to have suffered a lot of damage."

"That tree did more damage to us!" Ron blurted out.

"Quiet, Weasley!" Snape snapped again, and his eyes turned to Elwyn. "And you, Mr. Mason, I think you have found that becoming the Savior's follower is not a wise choice. I think you will be the first student in history to be expelled by Hogwarts on the first day of school."

"No, you can't expel Elwyn!" Harry shouted.

"Obviously, I have the right to do so!" Snape turned his eyes back to Harry and Ron. "As for the two of you, it's a pity that you are not students of my college. I have no right to expel you. I'll go and find the person who really has this delightful privilege. Wait here. "

Harry looked at Snape's back with a pale face. He wanted to comfort Elwyn, but when he opened his mouth, he did not know what to say. If Snape found Professor Meg, he and Ron would not be any better.

She might be a little more impartial than Snape, but she was just as strict.

If Elwyn was expelled by Snape, he and Ron would definitely receive the same punishment from Professor Meg. He was not sure where he should go after leaving Hogwarts. The Dursleys would never welcome him. Perhaps he could follow Hagrid and become the hunting guard of the school.

Just as Harry was letting his imagination run wild, Professor Meg walked in with Snape.
