Chapter 26 Admissions Troubles
At King's Cross Station, Shaylin and his brother Draco said goodbye to their parents, crossed the wall of platform nine and three-quarters, and boarded the Hogwarts Express.
Originally, Draco and Shaylin were in the same carriage, but after Draco found his best friends Goyle and Crabbe, he hesitated for a moment and left his brother behind to move to his best friends' carriage - Shaylin knew that he couldn't help showing off his flying broom and his participation in the Quidditch team. He was indeed a little brat who didn't know how to be low-key, Shaylin sneered.
Shaylin found an empty carriage and sat in it. According to the plot, this year Harry and Ron will be tricked by Dobby so that they can't get on the train. The two who love to show off will enter Hogwarts in the Ford Flying Car modified by Arthur Weasley. As Dobby's little master, Shaylin originally had the ability to stop this, but he chose to do nothing and let the plot develop.
Soon, the door of the carriage was opened, and Daphne and Meredith stood at the door. When they saw that it was Shaylin in the carriage, they flashed with obvious joy on their faces, and hurriedly pulled the luggage in.
Shaylin was very gentlemanly and used the levitation spell to help them put their luggage away. Daphne used a lightweight luggage made of Mokeskin. Shaylin was sure that the anti-theft spell and the traceless extension spell must have been cast inside, so he only needed to lift the luggage gently to put it away; Meredith's suitcase was an old big box, and the mottled and faded outer layer showed that the box was very old.
Shaylin sighed in his heart, has the great Shafik family fallen to the point that they can't even afford a suitcase with a traceless extension spell? Maybe this Christmas, he can use alchemy to make one for Meredith as a Christmas gift?
In order to take care of Meredith's self-esteem, Shaylin kept these thoughts in his heart and didn't say them out loud, and there was no abnormality in his expression. Xielin knew that with Meredith's cold and arrogant personality, giving her a suitcase directly would only hurt the girl's fragile heart. Giving it as a Christmas gift could avoid this situation to the greatest extent.
After Daphne sat down, she suddenly looked angry. Xielin scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong, Daphne? Who made you angry?"
"Xielin!" Daphne said unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Xielin looked at him in confusion. He didn't seem to have done anything, did he?
"Why didn't you write to me during the summer vacation?"
"I wrote! Why didn't I write?" Xielin was even more confused.
"Humph! You dare to say that? There are two months in the whole summer vacation, and you only wrote a half-foot long letter, which is less than half the length of the paper you usually write!" Daphne said angrily.
"Ah? Shouldn't the focus of writing a letter be on the content?" Xielin felt very wronged.
After promising a series of unequal treaties, Daphne was satisfied to let Shaylin go, and turned to talk to Meredith about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester and the new students who enrolled this year.
The three chatted casually, flipping through the big book on their knees boredly. In the middle, Shaylin bought a lot of candies from the witch pushing a cart. Sweets really have a fatal attraction to girls. The atmosphere of the two girls eating candies soon became warm.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside.
With a bang, the door of the compartment was opened, "Hello!" Hermione walked in. She had changed into a wizard robe, with an anxious look on her face, and followed by a little girl with red hair - although it was the first time they met, Shaylin knew that she was Ginny Weasley, a key figure in the plot of this school year.
Hermione acted a little unnatural, slightly turning her head to avoid Daphne and Meredith's gaze, and looked at Sherin: "Sherin, have you seen Harry and Ron? Ginny and I looked all over the train but didn't see them."
"Maybe they missed the train?" Sherin pretended to think. "But don't worry, the school will definitely arrange for professors to pick them up - although they may need to bear some punishment."
"Oh, no!" Ginny was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Punishment? They won't be expelled from school, right?"
"No." Sherin comforted. "It's just missing the train, it's not a big mistake. I don't think Professor Dumbledore will make such a decision."
"That's right, Ginny, they just missed the train - my God, look there!" Hermione suddenly screamed, pointing out the window, with a look of surprise on her face.
Following Hermione's finger, everyone looked out together.
The weather outside the window was clear, with blue sky and white clouds, and a blue Ford was flying in the air!
"Oh, no, that's..." Ginny's face was full of despair.
The car slowly descended and approached the train. "Harry, Ron, how can you do this!" In the carriage, Hermione saw Harry and Ron smiling and greeting them in the car, and shouted at them angrily. But the two boys obviously couldn't hear Hermione's scolding, and continued to wave their hands with a smile.
"Will Harry be expelled?" Looking at the car in the sky, Ginny was about to cry again.
"They will definitely be expelled. They have violated at least more than 20 school rules!" Hermione said with a pale face.
"I think you should write a letter to Professor Dumbledore. If you hurry up, maybe you can suppress the matter." Retracting his eyes, Sherin suggested to Hermione and the others.
"Right!" After they came to their senses, Hermione immediately said, "I'll go now!" After that, Hermione and Ginny left with a dead look.
"Bang bang bang!" Outside the car window, an owl was knocking on the window with a newspaper on it. Seeing the newspaper on the owl, Schelling recognized where the owl came from. "Oh, it's the newspaper I ordered. It's tonight's Evening Prophet. I didn't expect it to come so soon."
Pushing open the window, Owl ducked into the car and stretched out his legs towards Xuelin. Schelling took down the newspaper, took out five Knuts and put them into his purse. The owl flew out immediately.
Sherin opened the newspaper, clicked his tongue, and looked at the headline "A Ford Anglia flew in London, shocking Muggles." Daphne and Meredith were also attracted by this news headline. Eyeballing, the two women stood up in unison, walked to the side of Xie Lin's seat, sat down on the left and right sides of Xie Lin, and read the big news together closely next to Xie Lin.
Both girls were a little too close to Xie Lin, whether intentionally or not; Daphne's plumpness kept brushing against Xie Lin's left arm intentionally or unintentionally, giving him a numb feeling like an electric shock; Meredith When he lowered his head to read the newspaper, the soft blond hair gently scratched Xie Lin's chin, giving Xie Lin an itchy feeling. From Xie Lin's angle, he could also catch a glimpse of Meredith's long and slender swan neck, as well as her exquisite If the collarbone appeared, coupled with the girl's unique fresh body fragrance coming from the girl, Xuelin's lips suddenly became dry, and he became distracted.
No matter how dull and ignorant Xie Lin was, he knew at this moment that the two girls might have evil intentions towards him.
To be honest, Xie Lin does not exclude these two girls. They are the best choices in terms of family background, appearance, talent and character. However, Xie Lin is more conservative in his thinking. He is only 12 years old and has no understanding of gender relations. Be prepared. Secondly, he knows that troubled times are coming, and he doesn't want to waste time on his children's personal relationship.
Xie Lin forced himself to calm down, pretending not to be aware of the suggestive actions of the two girls, and forcing himself to focus on the contents of the newspaper——
"Two Muggles in London were convinced they saw an old car flying past the Post Office Building. One of them took a blurry photo of Lady Hetty Bayliss looking up as she was drying her laundry in Norfolk at noon... …Mr Angus Fleet, of Peeblesshire, reported to the police…”
The rest of the train journey was spent in these delicious hours.
During the sorting ceremony, Sherrin discovered that Professor Snape, Harry and Ron were missing.
As in previous years, the Sorting Hat assigned the freshmen admitted this year to their respective houses one by one: Ginny Weasley entered Gryffindor, Colin Creevey entered Gryffindor, and Vicky Frobisher entered Gryffindor. Llanffindor, Luna Lovegood entered Ravenclaw, Eloise Midgan entered Hufflepuff, Edward Harper entered Slytherin...
(Note: Vicky and Eloise are characters in the original work, and their grades were made up by the author; Harper is also an original character, but his name was made up by the author himself)
As the sorting ceremony and Dumbledore's speech ended, the young wizards began to feast. Schelling noticed that Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall had both left the auditorium during the dinner. While eating, the little wizards discussed the Blue Speedster in the Evening Prophet - Draco showed off at the Slytherin table that he had long known that the Blue Speedster was carrying Harry Potter and Harry Potter. Weasley and enjoyed being the center of attention.
Xie Lin curled his lips and refused to comment. Daphne and Meredith had been secretly observing Xie Lin, and they had the good sense not to join in the fun at this moment.
After returning to his familiar dormitory room, Xie Lin locked the door and cast a Silence Charm and an Anti-Disturbance Charm on the door. Then he snapped his fingers, and with a bang, a dirty house elf apparated. In the room was none other than Dobby.
Dobby was usually on good terms with him and was usually happy to see him. But at this moment, Dobby seemed like a child who had done something wrong. He kept lowering his head and did not dare to look directly into Xie Lin's eyes. However, Its trembling body betrayed its nervous and fearful heart.
"Let's face it, Dobby, did you do something to Harry Potter and his friends?"
Dobby's eyes suddenly widened!
Dobby kept banging his head against the wall, "Bad Dobby, bad Dobby, Dobby knew that the old master wanted to do harm to the great Harry Potter, so he tried to find a way to prevent Harry Potter from coming to school. Dobby tried to ruin the old master's plan, Dobby should be damned, Dobby is a bad elf!"
"That's enough!" Xie Lin interrupted forcefully. Dobby trembled, raised his head, and slowly looked at Xie Lin. Dobby could be said to have watched Xie Lin grow up slowly from a baby. This was the first time that Dobby felt the majesty in Xie Lin's body.
Although Xie Lin is only 12 years old, he has experienced fierce battles with trolls and wits with Dumbledore. At this moment, his face has long lost its youthfulness and childishness, but is full of decisive and decisive determination. Dobby was startled and stopped immediately. For the act of self-punishment, he looked at Xie Lin longingly, begging for the forgiveness of his little master.
Dobby is a freak among house elves. He has no respect for his master, the Malfoy family. He only obeys his master's instructions because of the contract magic in his soul. However, Dobby has no respect for his little master Sherin. But his feelings are sincere. This is because Schelling believes that everyone is equal. He has regarded Dobby as an equal friend since he was a child, not a humble slave.
"Dobby, I have said many times that we are friends in private, not masters and servants. I cannot hide what my father wants to do, but I must explain that my father is my father, and I am who I am, and I do not approve of what my father wants to do. So Dobby, I don’t think you did anything wrong! Stop punishing yourself.”
Dobby was moved to tears and said, "Thank you, little master. Thank you, little master. I knew that the little master is as great as Harry Potter..."
"Next, don't get involved in Harry's affairs anymore. I assure you that he will be fine. Harry Potter will still return to Hogwarts in good health next year. On the contrary, young master, I am here this year There are many things in school that need a helper, Dobby, will you help me?"
Dobby nodded hurriedly and vigorously, "Dobby is willing, Dobby is willing, it is Dobby's honor to be able to help the great little master!"
