Chapter 151 School starts
On September 1st, there was a commotion early in the morning. There were the screams of old Mrs. Black after being disturbed, the cries of pain from Fred and George when they bumped into Ginny after their magic failed, and the scolding of Mrs. Weasley...all of this gave the dead old Black house a different kind of vitality.
After a quick breakfast, the group left the Black house and headed for King's Cross Station. Because the relationship between the Minister of Magic and Professor Dumbledore was more tense than ever before, Fudge refused to lend Mr. Weasley even a bottle cap.
Mr. Weasley, who could not borrow a car from the Ministry of Magic, apologized and hurried to work. There was no other way. Even though Fudge was making things difficult for Mr. Weasley, Mr. Weasley could not neglect any of the work in the ministry.
Everyone had to walk to King's Cross Station, and when Mrs. Weasley led the students out, a large black hound followed Harry.
"For Merlin's sake, Sirius..." Mrs. Weasley said angrily, "Well...well...I can't promise that there will be any bad consequences..."
As soon as Sirius went out, he pounced on the pigeons in the square, frolicking and rolling around, and happily chasing a few tabby cats, which made Mrs. Weasley roll her eyes.
Seeing Harry laughing so hard, Sirius "performed" even harder.
"Black...Uncle, do you really think of yourself as a dog?" Draco said to Aris with a strange expression.
"He's just been stuck in that house for too long," Aris said. "He hates it there, but he has to be stuck there. He wouldn't be able to stand it no matter where he was."
There were many wizards secretly guarding them along the way. When they turned a corner, an old lady winked at them mischievously. It was Nymphadora Tonks in disguise. After walking two streets, they ran into the shifty-looking Mundungus Frankie. And Remus, wearing a top hat, followed closely behind them...
It took them nearly half an hour to reach King's Cross Station, where they met several familiar faces. "Big Dog is pretty good, Harry!" Fred and George's best friend, Lee Jordan, greeted them enthusiastically.
Mad-Eye Moody disguised himself as a porter, and together with a few others, carried the luggage of Aeris and Harry. They naturally and inconspicuously passed through the passage between Platform 9 and Platform 10 and arrived at Platform 9 and 3/4.
In the steam of the red Hogwarts Express, everyone said goodbye to each other, and Sirius, who had turned into a beagle, even wanted to stand up and hug Harry.
Mrs. Weasley quickly stopped him: "Please, Sirius, behave more like a dog..." After that, she pushed Harry into the train.
The train started moving slowly. Harry was still waving goodbye to the people getting off the train from where he got on. Sirius began to chase the train, which made the students who were also saying goodbye to their loved ones laugh. Only Harry's face was full of reluctance.
The train was going faster and faster, and it seemed that the big hound was still chasing Sirius until he could no longer be seen.
"He really shouldn't have come with us..." Hermione said worriedly.
"Don't say that, Hermione," said Ron. "Poor cold, he hasn't had any sun in months..."
Aries patted Harry on the shoulder. "Come on, buddy, let's find a cubicle?" Aries said.
"Humph!" Draco said with his nose turned up, "I'm going to the prefect's carriage!"
Hermione and Ron looked at each other awkwardly, and Aries scolded with a smile: "Look at what you can do, go quickly..."
"We won't stay there forever..." Hermione said. Ron scratched his head awkwardly, and the companions separated temporarily.
Harry looked a little lost, Ginny whispered comforting words beside him, and Aris felt inexplicably glowing all over, so he had to lead the way ahead.
They came to the last carriage at the end of the train, the last compartment. It was not that Aris had obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the compartments in the other carriages were full.
Neville was holding a strange plant outside the compartment, hesitating.
"Hey! Neville!" Aeris greeted, "Why don't you go in?"
"There's someone inside..." Neville muttered.
Aeris peeked into the cubicle. "Hi! Luna!" Aeris greeted her warmly. "How was your summer vacation?"
"Hi! Aeris!" a pleasant female voice came, "Why don't you come in?"
"Yes! Neville, why don't you go in?" Aeris said with a smile, "Didn't you invite her to dance last year? Huh?"
"I didn't find her. I invited Hannah Abbott from Hufflepuff..." Neville whispered.
Aeris walked into the compartment, put his luggage away, and sat next to Luna naturally.
Harry, Ginny and Neville walked in one after another. Aeris waved his wand and conjured up a few more seats.
"Don't mind, Luna," Aeris said, "this compartment might get busy in a little while."
"It's okay," Luna said. "It's nice to see you again, Aeris. Is there a defense team gathering this year?"
"I'm not sure," Aeris said thoughtfully, "After all, we have to prepare for OWLS this year. I don't know if I will have time..."
The companions started chatting, and Neville always gently stroked his small cactus-like plant, but this small plant had bumps instead of thorns.
"Uh... Neville," said Aeris, "why don't you put down your plant, or else..."
Before Aes had finished his words, the plant that should be the "Mibu Mibao" plant, as if in response to stress, spurted out a large amount of dark green juice from its tiny body. Not only was the color hard to describe, but the smell it emitted was even more hard to describe.
Aris was quick to pick up the Quibbler magazine that Luna had put down from the table in front of him and hid himself and Luna behind the magazine.
Harry and Ginniq were in a miserable state, with their heads and faces splattered with dark green juice, and the ceiling, windows and floor of the cubicle were all covered with it.
Harry and Ginny both looked at Neville resentfully, and Neville was also splashed all over.
Neville quickly apologized: "I'm so... so... so sorry... how could this happen..."
The cubicle door was pulled open, and Cedric poked his head in. "How was your summer vacation, Aeris?" Cedric said, but he frowned because of the strange smell in the cubicle. "It looks exciting, I'll come over later..." After saying that, Cedric hurriedly left, not forgetting to close the cubicle door.
"You left the door open!" Aeris complained. "Just leave like that?"
Aeris waved his wand, the compartment door opened, the dark green juice disappeared out of thin air, and the strange smell in the compartment slowly dissipated.
"I'm sorry..." Neville apologized in a low voice, blaming himself.
