Magic Journey from Hogwarts

After more than an hour, the prefect meeting officially ended.

The prefects of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff left the prefect box one after another, while the four prefects of Gryffindor and Slytherin stayed here.

"Hermione, we should go." Ron reminded, "Harry is still waiting for us!"

Hermione glanced at Aaron and hesitated, "Do you want to go together?"

"Granger, Gaius is a Slytherin prefect." Pansy sneered.

"I didn't ask you again."

"Hmph!" Pansy snorted coldly, "He won't go with you, Malfoy is still waiting for him."

"Draco?" Aaron raised his eyebrows in surprise, "He...does he want something from me?"

Pansy nodded, "It should be very important, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to notify you."

"Is that so?" Aaron pondered for a moment, then slowly got up, "Take me there!"

Hermione hesitated to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Complacent, Pansy gave Hermione a provocative look and led Aaron out of the box.

"Let's go!" Ron said meaningfully. "He is now a prefect of Slytherin, and Malfoy is his friend. It is reasonable to look for him first."

"I know, you don't need to remind me." Hermione gave him a blank look, and walked out on her own.

Draco was sitting in a box with two of his followers besides him.

"Why are you looking for me?" Aaron asked as he opened the box door.

"Come in." Draco pursed his lips, then looked at Crabbe and Goyle who were sitting across from him, "You two go out first."

"Ah?" Goyle opened his mouth in astonishment, "But where should we sit?"

"Oh my god! Why do I have such stupid followers like you?" Draco said gloomily, "Get out, and don't come in unless I tell you."

The two looked at each other, and then realized that Draco didn't drive them away, but just wanted to talk to Aaron alone.

"Let's go now."

"Call us if something happens."

The two rushed to leave, Pansy looked at Draco and Aaron, "Can't I stay too?"

"This matter is not suitable for a third person to know." Draco said very seriously.

"Okay!" Pansy didn't care, and closed the sliding door of the carriage consciously.

Aaron put Abe on the table, and then sat by the window.

"Can I talk now?

Why did Uncle Lucius ask you to find me? "

Draco was silent for a while, and was interrupted by Aaron just as he was about to speak.

"Wait a minute." Aaron took out his wand and waved it lightly, "Close your ears and listen."

"Okay, no one else will hear our next conversation."

"Yeah!" Draco nodded slightly, and continued: "My dad didn't say anything, he just asked me to tell you about everything I do, and asked me to obey your arrangements on major matters."

"Oh!" Aaron couldn't help but smacked his lips, "As expected of the patriarch of the Malfoy family, he is also cautious enough, he would rather do nothing than do nothing!"

"Tell me what happened?" Draco asked a little nervously, "I can feel that everything has changed this holiday season, and my parents haven't even smiled in two months.

Coupled with this request from my dad, I always feel particularly uneasy. "

Aaron looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, "You know the Dark Lord is back!"

Draco nodded, "But it's not a bad thing, the Dark Lord is protecting the interests of pure blood."

"But there are not a few pure-blood wizards who died at his hands." Aaron said meaningfully, and then took out a transparent glass bottle from Abe's pocket, which contained strands of silver light, "This is A short memory of your father, it will tell you the reason why your parents were abnormal during this time."

Gollum!

Draco's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed hard.

He reached for the glass bottle, but Aaron put it away first.

"It's not suitable for you to know too much now." Aaron said with a serious face, "The reason why I took it out has no other meaning, I just want you to believe your father's arrangement.

Uncle Lucius considered the worst, he came to me specifically to give you a way out. "

Draco fell silent when he heard that.

It's not that he doesn't understand anything, the Malfoy family has already had a relationship with the Dark Lord, but now it seems that this relationship is a bit different from what he thought.

"Is my parents' situation..."

"I can't answer this for you, but don't be too pessimistic." Aaron comforted, "Malfoy is a pure-blood nobleman, and his influence is huge.

At least until the Dark Lord decides to appear in the wizarding world aboveboard, the Malfoy family is still very safe. "

"And after that?"

"After that... there shouldn't be too many problems."

"What should it be?" Draco couldn't accept it, "Can't you be more precise?"

"No, because the object of their allegiance is a moody person." Aaron said very bluntly, "But your father is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise he wouldn't have retreated unscathed in the last wizarding war."

Draco's expression was still uncertain, "Even if you say that..."

"Please, you are the heir of the Malfoy family after all, so you should have some confidence in the Malfoy family!" Aaron explained with a wry smile, "You don't think it's a coincidence that Malfoy has been doing well in the pure-blood 28 family. Bar?

Since Armand Malfoy built the Malfoy Manor, the Malfoy family has hardly gone downhill.

From starting from scratch to becoming wealthy, Malfoy's assets have snowballed, and his influence has also continued to increase.

To do this, in addition to an excellent investment vision, you must also have the ability to protect yourself wisely, and these are the two things your father lacks most. "

Hearing what Aaron said, Draco's mood improved a lot, and most of the worry in his eyes dissipated.

"My parents don't have to worry about it for the time being, so what should I do?"

"Don't do superfluous things, what was in the past is what it is now.

But when you are really at a loss, you can come to me for help. "

Draco nodded heavily, "Thank you."

"It goes without saying that, if you really want to thank me, tell Professor Snape once you arrive at Hogwarts, don't let me be a prefect."

"Why?" Draco was stunned for a moment, "The authority of the prefect is second only to the headmaster and the professor."

"It's tiring and a waste of time."

"Uh...I'll try my best!" Draco said with some embarrassment, "But I don't think Professor Snape would agree, and no one is more suitable to be a Slytherin prefect than you."

"A lot of people think that, except myself."

......

The train went all the way north, and the rain beat on the windows from time to time.

But the rain didn't last long, and it ended before the train arrived.

The air was filled with the smell of damp soil, wizards big and small walked out of the carriage with heavy steps.

Aaron reluctantly put on the prefect badge, maintained order among the students on the platform, and arranged for the second-year wizard to get on the carriage.

"Come here, first year, first year..."

Familiar lines, different voices.

This time it was not the half-blood giant Hagrid who led the first-year students across the Black Lake by boat, but Professor Graplan.

"Is there a replacement?

It looked like Hagrid wasn't at Hogwarts, or she wouldn't have been there to receive the first-years. "

"Better fire him." Pansy said angrily, "He actually made us raise snails last year, disgusting and dangerous.

In comparison, Graplan's unicorn course is infinitely better. "

"It's better to have some respect for the professor. Hagrid knows enough about magical beasts to be a teacher."

"Aaron, I know you have a good relationship with him." Pansy said speechlessly, "But I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Many people want Hagrid to be fired and to be his forest guard."

"What did you say?" Ron asked angrily.

"It's true, Weasley," Pansy said bluntly.

"That's enough." Aaron interrupted the two of them angrily, "We'll wait for Hogwarts to discuss Hagrid's affairs. Now we must maintain order, at least worthy of the badges you wear on your chests."

The two looked at each other, each snorted coldly, and went in opposite directions.

Aaron was speechless. Fortunately, he was not Draco standing here, otherwise he and Ron would probably fight.

"It's tiring, isn't it!" Hermione teased.

"Maintaining order is part of the job, but a prefect's duty does not include persuading fights."

"Well... how was your vacation?"

"Not so much." Aaron pouted, his vacation since school was a bitter history.

Progress is a good thing, and he is naturally eager to become stronger, but being forced by a group of people to move forward is another matter.

"There are some things I think I should tell you." Hermione hesitated, but quickly became firm, "If Dumbledore knows that I invite you to join..."

"Who is that?" Aaron immediately pointed to a second-year Slytherin. "The wooden boat is for first-year students. Second-year wizards should take a carriage and go that way."

"Understood, senior."

A little witch said embarrassingly, and soon followed the others into the carriage pulled by thestrals.

"Sorry, Hermione, I'm busy right now.

Let's talk about it later! "

As he spoke, Aaron walked quickly towards several second-year wizards who were far away, and he was barely relieved after putting some distance away from Hermione.

No matter what the topic is, as long as Dumbledore is involved, nothing good will happen, so just keep it at a respectful distance.

All the second-year Slytherins got into the carriage. Aaron carefully counted the number of people, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he and Pansy boarded a carriage that Draco had reserved in advance.

"Draco, do you think Hagrid was fired?" Pansy asked impatiently.

"how could I know?"

"No." Aaron said firmly, "Don't forget that Dumbledore is still the headmaster!

As long as he was the Headmaster, Hagrid would remain the Professor of Care of Fantastic Beasts. "

"Hehe!" Draco sneered, "He won't be the headmaster for long, Ministry of Magic..."

"Draco." Aaron glared at him.

"It's fine if I don't say anything!" Draco waved his hands helplessly, "But everyone will know sooner or later."

The carriage moved slowly in the night, and the Hogwarts castle was getting closer.

In front of the oak door, several people jumped out of the carriage and walked along the steps to the gate of the auditorium, where the opening banquet was held.

Four long dining tables, enchanted ceilings that look exactly like the sky outside, lit torches and candles...

What was different from before was that there was no Hagrid on the faculty seat, and Professor Graplan was sitting in his place.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professors change every year as expected, but this year Professor Umbridge is definitely not here to teach.

At the Wizengamot she was dressed as a wizard, but here she wears a fuzzy pink cardigan with a thick layer of foundation on her face and a pink Color big bow.....not the usual hot eyes.

"She is our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Draco said with a meaningful smile, "She is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, and was specially appointed by Fudge."

"Glamorous." Aaron said a little speechlessly, "Being the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic is somewhat of a skill, but I really can't compliment her teaching ability."

"Is it bad?" Pansy asked suspiciously.

"If you have read our textbooks this year, you should know that there is not a single decent spell in the book "Magic Defense Theory".

To put it bluntly, an ordinary Muggle can give us lessons with this book, because there is no need to practice. "

After a while, the door of the auditorium opened again.

Professor McGonagall led the first-year students in, took out a long piece of parchment like last year, and the Sorting Hat decided which college they would go to.

The gap-like mouth on the Sorting Hat opened slowly, and then sang an exaggerated ballad:

Long ago I was a new hat and Hogwarts wasn't built yet

The four founders of Noble School thought they would never part ways, but they were united by the same goal, building a school together and teaching together

Slytherin said: The students I teach, their blood must be pure

Ravenclaw said: The students I teach, their intelligence must be superior to others

Gryffindor said: The students I teach must be brave and fearless

Hufflepuff said: I will teach many people and treat them all equally

Each of the four founders owns an academy and only recruits the teenagers they want.

Slytherin is pure-blooded and scheming, Ravenclaw is sharp-minded and intelligent, Gryffindor is bold and adventurous, and the rest are taken over by the kind-hearted Hufflepuff...

The very long ballad fully explained the establishment of Hogwarts, the relationship between the four colleges, and the duties of the Sorting Hat.

But in the end it issued a warning to everyone that it hadn't had in the previous four years:

Hogwarts is in danger, and foes from outside the school are on the lookout

We have to be tight inside or everything will fall apart from within

I have spoken to you bluntly, I have sounded the alarm for you...
