The Knight Bus tilted frighteningly and overtook a line of cars on the inside.
Sirius waved his hand and chased away the chattering Stan.
He wanted to have a few words with Harry alone to communicate their feelings.
Speaking of which, he was really not a good godfather. It was fine when he was locked up in Azkaban, but now that he was back, he had been following Elwyn all over the world or carrying out missions for the Order of the Phoenix. He did not spend much time with Harry.
He and Harry talked in a low voice as the Knight Bus continued forward. With a bang, the chairs slid backward.
She jumped from the Birmingham high road onto a quiet country lane, full of treacherous twists and turns.
Hedges jumped out of the way as the bus drove left and right onto the side of the road.
They drove onto a main road in the downtown area and a viaduct in the mountains.
Then there was a cold, windy street between the tall buildings. Every time it hit, there was a loud bang.
"I don't want to sit in this thing anymore," Ron mumbled as he got up for the sixth time.
"Attention, the next stop is Hogwarts," Stan said cheerfully as he staggered over. "The bossy woman in the back gave you a tip and asked you to get off first, but we have to let Mrs. Marsh get off first. She's not feeling well."
The sound of vomiting and terrible crashing came from the lower level. The reason for the discomfort was obvious.
A few minutes later, the Knight Bus screeched to a halt outside a small bar. The owner dodged to the side to avoid being hit.
They heard Stan help poor Mrs. Marsh off the bus, and the passengers on the second floor murmured in relief.
The bus continued forward, accelerating until, bang, they were already driving into the snow-covered village of Hogsmeade.
Elwyn gave Elaine a brief introduction of Hogsmeade. They saw the Three Broomsticks Tavern, a shop selling potion ingredients, and the Pig's Head Pub in the alley.
There was also the Pig's Head Bar in the alleyway, the sign of a chopped off pig's head creaking in the cold wind.
Snowflakes hit the big window in front of the bus, blurring their vision.
But Elaine was still staring at Honey Duchess. Elwyn felt that she would only remember that place.
Finally, the car staggered to a stop outside the Hogwarts gate.
Sirius, Lupin, and Tonks helped them get their luggage out of the car before they came down to say goodbye.
On the third floor of the Cavalier bus, all the passengers pressed their noses against the window and looked at them.
"You'll be safe once you enter the school." Tonks glanced warily at the quiet street. "Have a good time!"
"Remember to keep in touch!" As Sirius spoke, he shook hands with Elwyn and walked to Harry's side. "Don't forget what I said just now, Harry. Listen to Elwyn and Hermione's opinions in your studies. Don't be impulsive and don't act alone. If Snape bullies you, remember to tell me! "
"I know!" Harry nodded and looked at Sirius.
He had many things to say, but he didn't know what to say. He really wanted to stay in Grimmauld Square to accompany Sirius.
"Harry, I know you don't like Snape, but he's a superb Brain Seal arcane master." Lupin walked over and said, "All of us, including Sirius, hope that you can learn to protect yourself. So study hard, okay?
Sirius didn't say anything. He turned his head, clearly unwilling to listen to these words.
But regardless of whether he was willing to admit it or not, he really hoped that Harry could learn Brain Seal from Snape.
Therefore, this warning could only be said by Lupin. Sirius couldn't say it.
"Alright." Harry solemnly said. He raised his eyes to look at Lupin's wrinkled face, then looked at Sirius, who had walked to Fred and George's side. He forcefully waved his hand and said, "Then goodbye, see you during the summer break!"
The eight of them struggled to drag the boxes along the icy road towards the castle. Elaine was amazed the entire time.
Her small mouth could hardly close. She felt that her eyes weren't enough. This was the Hogwarts.
She had only heard of this place in stories before. She had imagined the Hogwarts countless times. Now that she was here, the castle looked so enchanting.
This used to be the castle of Slytherin's family. In other words, it was Elaine's family's …
"Professor Meg said that you should report to her office," Hermione said. "Elwyn and I can accompany you."
Under Dumbledore's arrangement, Elaine and Elwyn were in the same grade. She could stay with him during the day.
As for when she returned to the girls' dormitory at night, Hermione and Ginny would take care of her.
After Professor Meg met Elaine, she said some encouraging words and reminded them to be careful. Then she arranged a separate bedroom for Elaine. Considering Elaine's special situation, Hermione also moved out to live with her. It was very convenient for the two of them to live together …
After putting away the luggage, Elwyn and Hermione began to show Elaine around the castle.
They introduced her to everyone they met. Everyone was surprised by Elaine's identity. It turned out that she was an exchange student from Boothbottom.
The Hogwarts had not had an exchange student for many years, especially such a beautiful girl.
After a simple tour around the castle, Elaine gained a lot of popularity.
All the Hogwarts students' impression of Boothbottom remained at last year. They knew that there were many beautiful girls in Boothbottom who wore blue silk school uniforms. The senior boys all liked Hibiscus Chinensis, and the junior boys generally liked Gabri. They did not expect that there would be a girl like Elaine.
Elaine and Dracul had different styles, but they were equally cute.
She had a face as delicate as a porcelain doll and a pair of rare wine-red eyes. It was a different kind of temptation.
Everyone was very interested in Elaine, especially during dinner. Many students looked at Gryffindor's long table. They excitedly discussed about Elaine and guessed her background. Daily life was too monotonous, and this was the best way to relieve the boredom.
The news about Elaine spread throughout the castle as fast as it could, as if it had wings.
Everyone knew that there was an exchange student in school who had been following Elwyn and Hermione.
Among them, the Slytherin's impression was probably the deepest. Because Elaine was very curious about the common room of Slytherin, Elwyn and Hermione took her to have a look. Originally, they just wanted to take a look from a distance, but they met a second-year student outside the door, so they naturally followed him in.
One could imagine the scene. Almost in a second, the Slytherin's rushed out and surrounded them.
Everyone's face was a mixture of shock, disbelief, doubt, curiosity, anger, and other emotions. They raised their wands and pointed at Elwyn, Hermione, and Elaine.
It was as if the three adventurers were surrounded by a tribe of cannibals.
Slytherin didn't know what the three of them were doing. Were they crazy? Gryffindor actually came to the common room of Slytherin like this?
If looks could kill, Elwyn would have died many times!
Under such circumstances, there was naturally no way to continue the tour. Elaine, who had always wanted to come here, was also surprised by the unfriendliness of the Slytherin's.
Seeing Elaine bare her canine teeth again, Elwyn hurriedly pulled her away. He was afraid that if they continued to stay, this fellow would not be able to resist attacking them.
