From the clothes she was wearing, it could be seen that she was a member of an old pureblood Wizard family.
For these Wizard families, Elwyn's Hogwarts Magic News was completely forbidden reading. There were many articles in it that they did not like to read or that damaged their interests. Some overbearing families even did not let their children come into contact with it.
Elwyn was not surprised by this, but it was quite rare for a Slytherin student to read Hogwarts Magic News.
At least, as far as he could remember, he had never seen a Slytherin student like this.
He wanted to ask what the girl's name was, but it did not seem right to ask directly. He did not even know the name of his fourth-year classmate …
If word of this got out, it would definitely make people angry.
If only Hermione or Corin were here. They could almost remember the names of all the students.
Because Elwyn was standing at the side, the girl was obviously very nervous.
She put all the newspapers into the box, hurriedly took out her school robe, and put it on as fast as she could.
While she was changing, Elwyn saw a name written on a textbook in the box: Astoria Greengrass.
So it's the Greengrass family. Elwyn had some idea who this girl was.
In the original plot, she eventually became Draco Malfoy's wife.
Lucius and Narcissa originally had high hopes for this girl from the purest Wizard family, and after much selection, they chose this daughter-in-law.
However, it was said that she refused to teach her son the concept of "pureblood glory" and "Muggle is like an ant." Instead, she believed that everyone should be treated equally and not differentiated by family and bloodline. She abandoned the tradition that the ancient Malfoy family had always adhered to, which led to the atmosphere of every Malfoy family gathering.
It was interesting to think about it. As a pureblood sorcerer family with thousands of years of heritage, the Malfoy family was the most loyal supporter and had always been known for being cunning and scheming. There was a saying that you would never see the Malfoy at the scene of a crime, but the criminal's wand was full of their fingerprints.
Who would have thought that the cunning Lucius couple would end up with such a daughter-in-law?
From this, it could be seen how well Astoria hid itself …
Like Sirius, she should be an anomaly among the pure-blooded Sorcerers.
Even if they were not Death Eaters, the members of the Greengrass family were definitely loyal supporters of the Lord Voldemort.
However, she was secretly reading the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper alone, reading these articles against Lord Voldemort. If someone found out, she would definitely be regarded as a traitor by all the students and family of Slytherin.
It wouldn't be surprising if he was banished from his family or killed by Lord Voldemort …
"I think some of the articles in this newspaper are very reasonable. You guys write very well," Astoria said.
"Oh, do the students of Slytherin also read the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper?" Elwyn asked curiously.
"Some people read it, but everyone does it secretly, not daring to let others know." Astoria hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say, "Actually, I believe what you said."
As soon as she said that, she realized the problem with her words.
Now, many of the students of Slytherin knew that Lord Voldemort had returned. Only the people from the other three academies didn't believe it.
Astoria hurriedly added, "What I mean is that I think your views are correct."
"Thank you!" Elwyn didn't expect to meet a supporter of Slytherin.
He looked at Astoria's blushing face and her eyes that were filled with anticipation and nervousness. He knew that as a student of Slytherin, it was incredible that she could say something like that.
To be honest, this girl should come to Gryffindor for this reason alone.
It seemed that not everyone in Slytherin Academy was an enemy …
"Alright, let's hurry to the carriage. There should be only the two of us left on the train now."
"Yes!" Astoria nodded nervously and glanced at the badge of the boy's student council president on Elwyn.
They got off the train. The platform was already empty, and the darkness of the night enveloped everything.
Elwyn helped Astoria carry the suitcase. The two of them talked politely as they quickly passed through the narrow passage and came to the dark rain-washed street outside of Hogsmeade Station.
There were about a hundred horseless carriages parked here. Every year, they were the ones that sent students above the first grade to the castle.
Elwyn glanced at them. He knew that these carriages didn't move by themselves. They were pulled by the Night Thearch.
The Night Thearch was a kind of pegasus. Most people couldn't see this kind of creature at all. They had a special magic that could only be seen by those who had seen death with their own eyes. Elwyn couldn't see the Night Thearch pulling the carriage a year ago, but now he could clearly see it because he had seen death with his own eyes.
In his eyes, the front of the carriage was no longer empty.
There were some animals standing between the shafts. They looked a little like reptiles, and there was no flesh on their bodies. Their black fur clung tightly to their skeletons, and every bone was clearly visible. Their heads were very much like the heads of dragons. Their pupil-less eyes were white, and they stared straight ahead.
They had wings on the bulge between their shoulder bones. The large, black, and tough wings seemed to belong to giant bats.
These Night Thearchs were motionless and stood quietly in the darkening night, looking strange and ominous.
This was a really strange feeling. Elwyn smiled.
No wonder there were superstitious people who thought that this kind of creature was very unlucky and would bring terrible disasters to those who saw them. It was a bad omen.
But in fact, as long as you didn't actively attack them, the Night Thearch wouldn't hurt people, and it wouldn't bring any bad omens.
The Night Thearch was very useful. They had an amazing sense of direction. As long as you told them your destination, no matter where you were, they would send you where you wanted to go.
And they were good at finding riders. When they smelled blood, they would gather together, which could be very useful sometimes.
"Elwyn, here!" The students had already climbed into the carriage. Hermione leaned out of the window and shouted.
"My friend is calling me. Are you coming with us?" Elwyn asked.
"No, no, I'd better go to my sister," Astoria said hurriedly. "She should have reserved a seat for me."
