After I confessed everything, both Dad and Mom were furious.He turned around with his hands behind his back, throwing all the snacks on the table into the trash can; Mom called Aunt Wendy directly and yelled at her.

"This kid had better make sure that he will never set foot on the land of Britain for the rest of his life." Dad gritted his teeth and said, he put the wand into the leather pouch next to his belt, looking ready to go out.

"Where are you going?" I sat on the chair shaking my legs and asked hesitantly.

"Saint Mungo, I'm going to buy some more antidote for you to take with you." As the door was slammed shut, the pepper shaker on the dining table jumped up in fright.

Later on the phone, Aunt Wendy apologized to me sincerely, her tone was very annoyed: "I'm sorry, Kelly. He told me that you made an appointment...but you forgot to leave him your address before you left. "

I was so horrified by Jason's lie, I rubbed my arm covered in goosebumps and said, "This can't be true! He's terrible, you live upstairs from them, and you have to be careful." Okay...who knows if their family has the same personality. "

On the first day of school the next day, Dad stuffed my carry pockets with the antidote dispensed in glass bottles, and we stood in front of the bright red Hogwarts Express, his hands on my shoulders, very Seriously: "Stop nocturnal wanderings, go out with your friends, make sure at least one of them knows where your antidote is kept..."

I nodded absently, staring at the train as if I suddenly cared how long it was, until I spotted a familiar head poking out of the rear window.

That's Harry!He poked his head out of the open window, peering desperately over the platform like a swinging Bowtruckle.

I suppressed a smile and waved to my parents, stepped on the last step of the train and kissed them goodbye one by one before entering the train.

With a loud siren, the guard walked along the train and closed the doors one by one.I pulled my luggage and walked straight to the empty part at the end of the train, and on the way I met many friends who warmly invited me into the compartment.

"Hey! Kelly, come here." Angelina waved to me as she opened the door to the cubicle where old friends Katie and Aaliyah sat, along with Lavender and Parvati.

In the next carriage, Alison also stretched out her neck to greet me again: "Kelly! Sit here, Qiu and Marietta are here. ... Where is Penello?" Percy Weasley of Ryffindor," said Marietta vaguely.

After I apologized and declined one by one, I finally arrived at the end of a few compartments.Upon hearing my footsteps, Hermione quickly opened the compartment door: "Kelly! We're here!"

When I looked at her, I couldn't help but the corners of my mouth turned up, but when I pulled the suitcase into the compartment, I suddenly found that there were more than four of us in the compartment.

There was a sleeping man next to the window, his face was covered by shadows, he was wearing a worn-out wizard robe, and he was as thin as the Sirius I saw for the first time.

"Who is this?" I asked softly, and Harry took my suitcase and put it on the shelf above his head, and he also whispered: "Professor RJ Lupine, he is probably our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester." .”

"Besides, I think he is Sirius' old friend." Harry found a photo from his luggage, and since Hermione and Ron occupied the opposite seat alone, he had to pull me to sit beside him, and The sleeping Professor Lupine shared a seat.

Ron gave him a skeptical look. "I can't believe it. He looks like he's going to be knocked out by a dethroner."

And I tried not to notice the closeness between me and Harry, seeming interested in the picture he showed.It was four Hogwarts students standing together arm in arm, smiling and looking at the camera.

Among them, I recognized Sirius at a glance. He was even more handsome and unruly than now, but his haughty expression was full of happiness.

And beside him a boy wearing glasses was also laughing wantonly, and his unruly black hair immediately reminded me of Harry.As the three of them gathered together to look at the photo, I sneaked out of the corner of my eye at Harry's black hair and his profile.

"Look!" Harry whispered, and the moment he turned his head to look at me, I shuddered and turned back quickly, and his finger was pointing at the person to his father's left: a young man with light brown hair. Boy, the expression on his face was a little cautious, but more joyful and happy.

Hermione took a closer look, and looked at the sleeping adult man with suspicion: "It's really a bit like... So, he was also your father and Sirius' friend before?"

Ron used his fingers to cover Pediru in the photo. It was a short, chubby man. After being blocked by his fingers, he stood on tiptoe very dissatisfied.

"Yes, I think so." Harry was delighted to see another of his father's best friends, and he kept turning his head to look at him, trying to make room for the man in deep sleep.

Then Harry squeezed me against the wall of the car.

"Hey, there's someone else here." I could not bear to warn him in a low voice, but when he turned around and saw me, he jumped up like I poked him with my wand.

Facing our dumbfounded faces, he touched his head and sat back in embarrassment, this time he finally stopped squeezing me.

"I'm out of ink," said Hermione sadly. "I thought I'd bought enough, but now I've got very little left."

"But you bought a bottle in Diagon Alley before." I was a little puzzled.

"Yes, that's the bottle," said Hermione, puffing out her chest proudly.In exchange for Ron's surprised look: "Don't tell me you're drinking ink. - Besides, we can actually go to Hogsmeade to buy it this weekend."

Seeing Hermione's expression, he quickly changed the subject again. ?

"Do you know a lot about Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked enthusiastically. "I read that it's the only place in England that's completely free of Muggles—"

"I've been there! But it's nothing special, it's just like a Muggle town, with bookstores, grocery stores and other commercial streets." Since Lupine changed his position while sleeping, I had to sit on my side To ensure that both Harry and I can sit down. "And it's so far away from my home, it's the closest to Hogwarts."

"Who cares what bookstore, I just want to pop into Honeydukes and do some good shopping." Ron had a dreamy look on his face, "There's everything there...Pepper Boy - will make your mouth boil Smoke it out - and big fat chocolate balls filled with strawberry jelly and custard cubes, and extra-fantastic quills for candy bars to suck on in class and people think you're trying to figure out your next sentence What should I write—"

"Hogsmeade is a very interesting place, isn't it?" Hermione asked eagerly, ""Magic Places" said that the tavern was the headquarters of the Goblin Rebellion in [-]; The shed, said to be the most haunted house in England—"

"—and those big sherbet balls that lift your feet inches off the ground when you suck them," said Ron, apparently not listening to a word Hermione was saying.

Hermione turned her head and looked at Harry: "It must be fun to leave school and go to Hogsmeade once in a while, isn't it?"

Harry huddled in his seat a little absent-mindedly: "Oh, yes. Sirius told me that I'd better go to Zuko's Magical Joke Shop and the Three Broomsticks, it's amazing."

"Fred and George basically bought their prank props from Zuko." Ron finally broke away from the sweet world of Honeydukes and interjected, "Last time they bought a mug and replaced it with Percy cup, which resulted in a severe bite on the nose."

We all couldn't help laughing, and then bought some food from the fat witch pushing the food cart: a few pieces of cauldron cake, pumpkin pie, and a whole lot of licorice wands.Harry divided the cake into several pieces and handed me the first one, but I hesitated before taking it.

"What's the matter with you? Aren't you hungry?" Ron asked, tugging at the licorice wand in his mouth.

I pursed my lips and told them about the candy that Jason entrusted Aunt Wendy to send, including the antidote that I carry with me every day.

Ron sprayed out a mouthful of sugar crumbs, Hermione was stunned, and Harry slammed the cake back on the table angrily.

"I knew it! He will definitely have a plan for the next step." Hermione patted away the affected sugar scum, and kept scratching her face with her fingers, leaving red marks. "What a cunning person."

"You can give us a copy of the antidote, okay?" Harry said worriedly, "If you don't know what you have eaten, how can you drink the antidote yourself?"

"Wow. This man really has an incomprehensible attachment." Ron scratched his head inexplicably, and I couldn't understand this inexplicable attachment.

The train continued to gallop north, and the rain became heavier, turning the windows a watery gray and fading to black.Finally, the lights in the aisle and on the luggage rack came on all at once.

The train clanked, the rain slapped, and the wind howled outside the window, but Lupine was still asleep.

"When we get to the school, I'll let you all try the Firebolt/Arrow," said Harry enthusiastically, who was so excited when he talked about the broom, and so was Ron: "That's great bro! You really Will you let me ride?"

"I don't think I need to." Hermione declined politely. "You know, I have a few more electives to catch."

"I'll forget it!" I hurriedly echoed, "I can't ride the school broom too fast. If it was a fire crossbow/arrow, I would definitely fall off."

"Kelly!" Ron's tone suddenly became annoyed, "You actually compared the tattered broom in school with the fire crossbow/arrow?"

I blinked my eyes: "Ah, the Firebolt/Arrow is indeed excellent! But, to me, they are all brooms."

Harry's eyes widened, and his expression suddenly became incredulous.

I felt that I must have poked some taboo point, and shrunk my neck guiltily.Fortunately, the train had already stopped at the station by this time, and the train stopped at Hogsmeade Station, so we had to stand up and prepare to get off.

"Do you want to wake up Professor Lupine?" Hermione asked in a low voice, while Harry directly reached out to touch the sleeping Lupine: "Professor Lupine, Professor Lupine? Please wake up, we have arrived."

We didn't leave until we saw him waking up and moving.

After leaving the warm compartment, the cold air on the small platform was overwhelming, and the bone-chilling rain poured down.

I misjudged the weather before boarding, and wearing only a thin shirt and pleated skirt under my plain robe, I shivered uncontrollably as we walked to the carriage meeting point.

Suddenly, when it was our turn to get into the carriage, someone put a thick robe on me. I turned around and saw Harry, wearing only a cashmere vest, got into the carriage with his legs up.

My brain suddenly went blank, and I was a little embarrassed to say something, so I could only hold his robe tightly and wrap it tighter. The smell of turf in the sun was lingering in my nostrils. Those who came got into the carriage.
