Elwyn staggered back to his room. He secretly warned himself to be careful in the future. He must not let Hermione know that his Animagus form was a black cat. Otherwise, he would be courting death. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Talk △ Net

There was a commotion in the room next door. Percy's student council president badge was missing. He suspected that Ron had hidden it. The two of them were in a heated argument. In fact, when Elwyn went upstairs, he saw that Fred and George had taken Percy's badge and changed the words on it to Big Head Boy.
He turned over and looked at the dark ceiling. His thoughts drifted further and further away.
The next morning, Elwyn got up, dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast. The others were already up. Mr. Weasley was reading the front page of the Daily Prophet with a frown. Lady Weasley was talking to Ginny about a potion she had made when she was a child.
Elwyn went to his seat and sat down. He heard Hermione and Old Tom talking about the cat. He quickly turned his head.
To his left, Ron was angrily complaining to Harry about Percy.
"Let's get on the train as soon as possible!" Ron said. "At least, I don't have to be with Percy at Hogwarts. He's accusing me of dripping tea on the picture of his girlfriend, Penelope. She's hiding her face under the picture frame because her nose is full of stains. "
Harry wanted to persuade Ron, but Fred and George were very happy. They giggled and congratulated Ron for successfully making Percy angry again.
Their laughter further irritated Percy. He looked at them angrily, then finished his breakfast as fast as he could and took his things outside the bar.
What followed was a busy and chaotic scene. Everyone hurriedly moved their luggage to the Ministry of Magic's car. Elwyn saw Mr. Weasley call Harry to an empty corner. The two didn't know what they said, but when Harry came out, he didn't look happy.
Hermione was still persistently looking for the black cat from last night. Elwyn hurried forward to help her move her luggage. Mount Crook was in a small wicker basket, purring noisily.
Hearing this sound, Ron instinctively covered his chest and moved further away.
The journey to Kings Cross Railway Station was uneventful. When they arrived at the station, there were still twenty minutes before the train would depart. The Ministry of Magic driver helped them find a pushcart, unloaded their luggage, and touched Mr. Weasley's hat with his hand. Then, the driver drove away.
Everyone passed through platform nine and three-quarters smoothly. This was Elwyn's first time here. He looked around curiously. The platform was full of wizards and witches who were sending their children to the train. On the track, an old scarlet steam locomotive was spewing smoke.
It made him feel like time was reversed, like he had returned to the Age of Steam.
They got on the train, walked past the full carriages, and came to a carriage that looked empty. Mr. Weasley helped them put their luggage on it.
Then, everyone got off the train and said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Lady Weasley kissed every child goodbye, and Mr. Weasley was still whispering to Harry.
Harry looked confused and uneasy. When the train started moving, he whispered to Ron and Hermione, "I need to talk to you in private!"
"Go away, Ginny!" Ron waved his hand.
"Oh, that's not bad," Ginny said arrogantly and walked away. Elwyn was stunned for a moment before he followed her.
"Elwyn, you don't have to …"
"You guys talk first. I'll go say hello to everyone, and I'll be back soon."
Elwyn didn't stop, he knew what Harry wanted to say, but he had his own plan. If everything went well, it would be easy to solve this year's incident. Peter was much easier to deal with than Tom Liddell.
He followed Ginny to a carriage near the end, where Corin and Neville were sitting. They greeted each other and went inside.
Corin excitedly told them about her summer life in the countryside. The Hogwarts Express steadily moved north. The scenery outside the window was getting more and more wild and dark.
After knowing that Elwyn was sitting here, people kept coming to this carriage to say hello.
Most of them were readers of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper. Everyone wanted to know the sequel of Elwyn's "Me and the Basilisk in the Hogwarts". After a while, Luna also came over. She gave Elwyn a copy of "Antagonist", saying that it contained the latest article about the horned snoring beast.
Although Elwyn had repeatedly expressed his disinterest in the horned snoring beast and the bubblenose monster, Luna still gave him a copy of every issue of "Antagonist". She didn't stop reading it during the whole holiday.
They were bored and flipping the pages of "Antagonist". The sky outside was getting darker and darker.
After a while, it started to rain, and the outline of the continuous hills outside the window became blurred.
The carriage door was opened again, and three unwelcome people came in. Malfoy came in, followed by his two followers: Gall and Crabbe.
They seemed to have just been to Harry's carriage. When Malfoy came in, he said in his lazy tone, "Mud, why aren't you sitting with Potter?"
"It's none of your business!" Elwyn said softly. Neville, Corin, and Ginny looked up nervously.
"Potter abandoned you. He must have had enough of you and your stupid newspaper." As soon as Malfoy's voice trailed off, Gall and Crabbe burst into laughter.
"Get out! You're not welcome here!" Ginny shouted.
"Did you hear what Ginny said?!" Elwyn pulled out his wand and squinted. "Or, you want to test the new spell I learned during the holiday."
"Watch your tone, mud, or you'll …"
He was interrupted before he could finish. Harry, Ron, and Hermione came in.
"Get out of here, Malfoy!" Ron shouted as soon as he came in. "We don't have time to listen to your nonsense. If you want to fight, we'll take you on anytime."
Malfoy hesitated for a moment. He seemed to realize that his side did not have the advantage in numbers, and he involuntarily took a step back.
Just then, the train suddenly jerked and stopped.
All the lights in the carriage suddenly went out, and they were plunged into complete darkness.
"Damn it, what the hell happened?"
Elwyn heard Malfoy's scream. There were people walking back and forth outside the carriage.
"Fluorescent Flash!" he whispered, and his wand glowed.
The faint fluorescent light at the tip of the wand was not pleasant at all. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the color of the light was getting colder and dimmer. Everyone felt as if they had entered a freezer, and everything around them was rapidly freezing.
A strange sound came from outside the carriage. Something was approaching. Malfoy, Gall, and Crabbe hurriedly moved closer to the inside of the carriage.
The door was slowly opened. Elwyn could feel Hermione, who was standing beside him, holding his arm tightly. Her body was trembling slightly.
He gently patted Hermione's shoulder, which made the little girl feel a little more at ease.
The carriage door was completely opened. Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the flickering fluorescent light in Elwyn's hand, was a cloaked monster that reached the ceiling.
Its face was completely hidden under the hood, and a hand stretched out from the cloak. The hand was shimmering, gray, thin, and scabbed, as if something had died and been soaked in water to rot.
The monster under the cloak seemed to have sensed their gazes, and its hand suddenly retracted into the folds of the black cloak. Then, the thing under the hood, whatever it was, took a long, slow, and shaky breath, as if it was trying to take in something other than air from its surroundings.
Several children in the carriage screamed, but their voices were very muffled, as if they came from far away.
