Every year when school started, they would see Snape first, and it was always under such unpleasant circumstances.
The three of them walked towards the Hogwarts in the dark, and no one spoke.
Snape exuded a dark, cold aura, and Elwyn felt that he would not let the two of them go so easily.
"Let me think, because of being late, Gryffindor deducted 50 points," he said slowly, "Everyone!"
"But Elwyn was not late, he …"
"Quiet, Potter. After all these years, you still haven't learned the rules. Don't interrupt when I'm talking," Snape said, "Look at you, because you are wearing a Muggle suit, another 50 points deducted. I don't think there has been any school that had so many points deducted at the beginning of the semester, before the dessert had even been served. You have set a new record. Alright, you two tell me, why are you late? "
Elwyn was silent. This question should be answered by Harry. However, the anger and hatred in Harry's heart was so intense that he clenched his fists tightly. He would rather return to London stiffly than tell Snape the reason why he was late.
After about two or three seconds of silence, Snape continued, "You don't know how to answer, do you? If I had to guess, you probably wanted to make an entrance? The famous Mason and Potter, you couldn't get a flying car this year, so you thought that rushing into the hall in the middle of the banquet would have a dramatic effect? "
Harry remained silent, although he felt that his lungs were about to explode.
He knew that this was why Snape came to pick him up. He could have a few minutes to anger and torture himself without anyone hearing.
Elwyn felt that it was almost the same, because Snape's momentum was completely directed towards Harry.
He was just dragged along, and Snape did not even look at him.
After that, there was another long silence. The Hogwarts Castle was getting closer and closer.
To be honest, Elwyn was quite curious about what Snape had been up to during the summer break. Did he manage to obtain any new information?
The Lord Voldemort probably didn't trust him very much. After all, Snape hadn't proven his worth.
Of course, the Lord Voldemort did not trust anyone. That was the wrong word to use.
It should be whether he believed that Snape would remain loyal to him. Snape was still far from becoming a loyal Death Eater. At the very least, he needed to prove his worth, such as killing Dumbledore or handing Harry over to Lord Voldemort …
Elwyn thought about it and felt that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of Snape.
On the other hand, he could ask some questions about potions that he had seen at the International Alchemy Conference.
But before Elwyn could finish, he was interrupted by Snape.
"Quiet, Mason. I'm not interested in your laughable adventures during the summer break."
There was another long silence. Finally, the three of them arrived at the stairs of the castle.
When the great oaken doors were opened to reveal a spacious stone-paved hall, the sound of laughter and the clatter of glasses reached their ears through the open doors of the Great Hall.
It wasn't good to walk in so openly when the banquet was in progress. Especially for Harry. He had been defeated by Malfoy, and he was still wearing Muggle's clothes. His face had been beaten out of shape. It would be a complete humiliation to walk in like this.
He wondered if he could put on the Invisibility Cloak and sneak to Gryffindor's table without anyone noticing.
Inconveniently, Gryffindor's table was at the very end of the hall.
"We're here!" Snape said, as if he had guessed Harry's thoughts. "You two go in like this. No tricks, Mason. And you, Potter, no wearing the Invisibility Cloak or changing into your school uniform. Let everyone see your current appearance. I believe this is the effect you want. "
Harry didn't hesitate and walked through the open doors. As long as he could get away from Snape, he was fine. Elwyn hurriedly followed. There were four school tables in the hall, and there was a staff table at the top. As usual, there were many floating candles in the air, causing the plates below to sparkle.
Harry walked so fast that Elwyn almost had to jog to keep up with him.
Therefore, all of these things were just a blur in their eyes.
When people noticed the two of them, Elwyn and Harry had already walked past Hufflepuff's table.
When people started to look at them curiously, they had already walked to Gryffindor's table and sat down between Hermione and Ron.
"Where have you two been?" Hermione asked. "Oh my god, Harry, what happened to your face?"
"There was an accident," Elwyn said. "The banquet hasn't started yet, has it?"
"Not yet. The Sorting Ceremony has just ended."
"What did the hat say?"
"It's pretty much the same as before. It suggested that we should unite and face our enemies together."
"Dumbledore didn't mention Lord Voldemort, did he?" Harry interrupted.
He clutched a ladle and squinted at the distorted face reflected in it.
"No, but he always makes a formal speech after the banquet is over."
Ron was also staring at the face and said uncertainly, "Bro, you seem to have been beaten up?"
"Yeah," Harry said vaguely, touching his face with his hand. "How does my nose look?"
"It's normal." Hermione said worriedly. Because of Ron's reminder, her gaze turned from Elwyn to Harry. "But, Harry, what happened to your nose? What happened to you two? Why didn't you catch the carriage? We were so scared! "
"I'll tell you later," Harry said briefly.
Many people around them were staring at them, and he did not want to talk about it.
Moreover, it was such an embarrassing thing. He really hoped that they would think that he had done something very brave. It would be best if he had faced two Death Eaters and a Soul Catcher. Of course, Malfoy would definitely tell this story to everyone he met, but it might not reach the ears of too many Gryffindor students.
"But …" Hermione said.
"We'll talk about it later. The food is here," Elwyn said. "Look, they've even prepared food for Elaine."
There was an area where everything was labeled as vampire-only. It was all food made from blood.
