"It's no use!" Harry was dismayed to realize that he was now wearing the Invisibility Cloak, stuffed in the corner under the chair like a piece of cargo. Even if someone looked into the carriage, they would not see or hear him. Even if Elwyn came, he would not be discovered. He would return to London with the train.
If Malfoy did not say anything, perhaps, no one would ever find him...
In the darkness, Harry lay there like a ridiculous, four-legged tortoise. Blood dripped from his nose into his open mouth, making him feel sick. A sense of loneliness rose from the bottom of his heart. He had never hated Malfoy as much as he did at that moment.
Thanks to him, he was in such a sorry state now...
At that moment, the last of the footsteps disappeared. Everyone dragged their tired feet on the dark platform outside. He could hear the sound of boxes dragging on the ground and the loud chatter of his classmates. He desperately tried to make a sound, even if it was just a grunt, but no sound came out.
Then he remembered that some wizards, like Dumbledore, could recite spells without making a sound.
Elwyn seemed to be able to do it too. He had said at the D.A. event that he needed to practice his control of magic.
Harry tried to focus, chanting in his mind, "Wand fly! Wand fly! "to call back the wand that had fallen from his hand.
However, there was no response.
He thought he heard the rustling of leaves by the lake and the hooting of an owl in the distance, but no one asked why Harry Potter had disappeared.
Harry's heart sank. He imagined the Nightride pulling the carriages slowly towards the school, and Malfoy sitting in the carriage laughing shrilly. He must be telling his Slytherin classmates how he had taught Harry Potter a lesson...
At this thought, a feeling of despair spread in his heart.
At that moment, there was another rush of footsteps approaching. Harry was hopeful. He heard Elwyn's voice!
"Harry, are you here?" Elwyn raised his wand, illuminating the entire carriage.
It was silent. He did not see anything.
Of course, Harry must be covered by the Invisibility Cloak.
He might still be unconscious.
If he were Malfoy, he would not let Harry go so easily after subduing him.
Even if he did not dare to kill Harry, he would at least give him a good beating.
Considering the grudge between Malfoy and Harry, Elwyn would not be surprised if Harry did something outrageous.
He touched the bottom of the floor, the seats, and the shelves above. There was nothing there. That meant ….
Elwyn squatted down and reached under the seat. He felt something.
Suddenly, Harry felt the Cloak of Invisibility being lifted. Above him, Iven's voice sounded, "I finally found you!"
Suddenly, Harry felt the Invisibility Cloak being lifted. Elwyn's voice came from above his head. "Found you at last!"
Someone had appeared. Elwyn quickly turned around and pointed his wand at the person. He stopped abruptly.
"No, Elwyn, it's me!" Tonks said.
She looked the same as the last time they saw her in the Burrow. She had gray hair and a haggard face.
Tonks waved her wand. With a flash of red light, Harry's body was undone.
He sat up and tried to look presentable. He quickly wiped the blood off his injured face with the back of his hand.
"Why are you here?" Elwyn asked, pulling Harry up.
"According to the department's arrangement, I am currently guarding Hogsmeade to give the school some protection," Tonks said. "Today is the first day of school, so I wanted to come and take a look. I noticed that the two of you had not gotten off the train, so I knew something was wrong. I saw you come to this room, so I immediately appeared. I did not expect to see Harry … "
Just then, the train moved violently.
"If you have anything to say, we can talk outside. We'd better get out of here quickly. The train will be leaving soon. Hurry up."
The three of them quickly left the train. A large amount of steam floated from the front of the train.
The steam was quickly blown away by the cool night wind. The wind blew against his face, making Harry's throbbing nose feel very comfortable.
He looked at Elwyn and Tonks awkwardly and found that they were also looking at him.
Harry did not know how to explain. He felt annoyed and embarrassed that he had been discovered in such a sorry state.
"Well, we missed the last carriage. Looks like we have to walk to Hogwarts," Elwyn said, looking into the distance.
They could see the boats moving away from the lake. They had not entered Hogwarts yet. If they appeared now …
Elwyn thought about it and dismissed the idea. There was no need to scare the freshmen, and he could not reveal that he could appear.
"Stay here, Elwyn. Don't go anywhere. I will inform the school to send someone to pick you up," Tonks said. As if she could read Elwyn's mind, she waved her wand and a huge silver-white four-legged animal emerged from the wand and quickly ran into the night.
Obviously, it was the same as Lupin's Guardian. This guy!
Looking at the haggard Tonks, Elwyn felt that he should help her, but he did not know how to tell Lupin.
He had messed up matters of the heart himself. What right did he have to help others?
"What a beautiful Guardian." He could only sigh.
"Thank you," Tonks said, hurriedly changing the topic. "Harry, what is going on? Who did it? "
"Draco Malfoy," Harry said bitterly. "Thanks to you guys …"
"Hermione, Elaine, and I did not wait for you and Neville to come back. At the last check, I found Neville at the front of the car. He was catching the escaping toad." Elwyn said. "He told me that you used the Invisibility Cloak to separate from them halfway. I guessed that you went to Malfoy, so I came back."
"I was careless this time," Harry said. "But I heard that Malfoy was planning to do something. He was working for Lord Voldemort."
"Is that what you overheard? What was he planning to do? "
"I don't know, but he said Lord Voldemort …"
"Don't mention that name, Harry, and don't talk about it here. You should hurry to school now," Tonks said anxiously. Said Tonks uneasily, raising his wand again. "Stand still. I'll fix your nose."
Harry did not quite agree with this idea. To be honest, he was not at ease with Tonks.
If he had a choice, Elwyn would be more reliable than her.
Besides, his nose was not bleeding much now. He could go to the school doctor, Madam Pomfrey. He had more confidence in her when it came to healing spells. But it did not seem polite to say so, so he stood still and closed his eyes.
"It's healed!" Tonks said.
Harry felt his nose suddenly become hot and then cold.
He raised his hand and touched it carefully. It seemed to have healed.
"These scabs need to be taken care of too. Otherwise, it will scare a lot of people when we get to school," Elwyn said.
He raised his wand and pointed it at Harry's face. It was immediately clean.
