Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 143 Compensation from the Ministry of Magic

Finally, the train stopped at the Hogsmeade platform, and everyone got off the train. The scene was chaotic. Owls were hooting, cats were meowing, and toads were croaking as if they were joining in the fun. The small platform was very lively.

However, at this moment, a lion-shaped firework suddenly exploded in the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

"boom!"

 Another firework flew into the sky with a long tail flame.

At this time, the little wizards also noticed Fred setting off fireworks.

With everyone watching, Fred calmly wrapped a piece of parchment with a gold edge around the Liba fireworks and lit it.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom…"

Ten Libre fireworks exploded one after another, including lions, badgers, and fire dragons... They were running and jumping in the sky, and they lasted for a long time before dissipating.

 “Is this the welcome ceremony at Hogwarts?” some new students said excitedly.

They didn't know what happened, and they thought Hogwarts used fireworks to welcome them into the school.

I have to say that these fireworks are indeed beautiful, and looking at the flashing animals in the sky, they are not as nervous as before.

But other people are different.

"You see...Zabini." In the crowd, Malfoy said proudly to the freshmen around him: "I have said before that Kyle will definitely destroy these maps, but you still don't believe it, ha... "

 He let out a strange laugh, as if he was laughing at their self-righteous words before.

Beside him, a boy with some freckles frowned, squinting his neck and said: "Who knows if this is true, maybe this is the transformation spell they used."

"Absolutely impossible!" Malfoy snorted: "I believe Kyle, he won the special contribution award to the school, he is definitely not that kind of person."

“Who knows.” The freckled boy curled his lips and said, “Don’t forget that those people are only second-year students. This kind of thing must be easy for them.”

　　They both hold their own opinions, and neither one can convince the other.

At this moment, Crabbe, the tallest man, suddenly discovered something and reached out to catch a piece of parchment that floated down from the sky.

 “Draco, look what this is.”

Malfoy, who was arguing with Zabini, looked back and his eyes suddenly lit up.

 “Aha!”

He excitedly grabbed the parchment fragments in his hands, pointed at the remaining golden lines on it and said: "Look at this, this is real gold, do you still think this is a transformation spell?"

besides…"

As he spoke, he put his face to a dark spot on the fragment and took a deep breath.

“I accidentally burned a hole in the unicorn tail tapestry at home, and it smelled exactly like this.”

"This..." Zabini's face turned red, as if he had been slapped hard twice.

Looking at his look, Malfoy became even more proud. He raised his neck and said, "I know, you must be saying that because you can't afford a twenty galleons map.

 It doesn’t matter, I’ve asked around, they also have a few Sico maps, you can always afford those. "

 “Who do you think can’t afford it?”

Zabini was angry all of a sudden. He could accept that he was mistaken, but he would never accept being ridiculed by Malfoy.

 It’s just twenty galleons. Wouldn’t he be able to afford it? Who are you looking down on?

“Just wait, I will buy the most expensive map from him.” Zabini said with a smile on his face, “It must be better than yours!”

 “Tsk, tsk, this is impossible.”

Malfoy glanced at him contemptuously and said: "The one I bought is the most expensive one, and Kyle promised that my number is at the front. Even if you have the same number as mine, you can only be at the back." ."

  "You... hum!"   Zabini felt a little tight in his chest, gave Malfoy a vicious look, turned around and left.

Malfoy didn't care at all and watched him leave with a victor's attitude.

 At this moment, a light appeared above their heads.

“First years! First years come over here, Harry, are you okay?”

Hagrid’s huge figure appeared on the platform, picking up all the new students just like last year.

As for Kyle and others, they walked towards the other side of the platform. The second-year students needed to take a carriage to Hogwarts.

More than a hundred empty carriages were parked on a rough and muddy road.

The carts are pulled by thestrals, but most people can’t see them.

Kyle can't see them either.

There was such a chance before, it was the werewolf from St. Mungo's, but the opponent's vitality was too tenacious, and he was finally revived by a therapist.

 Obviously, a half-dead person cannot see the Thestral.

Kyle walked up to a carriage and touched its skinny head based on his feeling.

The Thestral also nudged Kyle gently.

 After they got on the carriage, Thestral took them to Hogwarts Castle.

 There is a faint smell of musty and straw in the carriage, a bit like a broom closet that has not been used for a long time.

 The carriage drove towards two extraordinary wrought-iron gates, flanked by stone pillars and surmounted by winged boars.

This wild boar is not a magical animal. Its image comes from a dream of Rowena Ravenclaw.

In the dream, she was brought to the open space by the Black Lake by a flying wild boar, and then Hogwarts Castle was built.

After passing through the gate, the carriage accelerated on the road leading to the castle. Through the windows, several people could clearly see the turrets and towers getting closer and closer to them.

 Finally, the carriage staggered to a stop.

The little wizards got out of the car one after another, while discussing the magical experience just now, they climbed the stone steps and walked towards the oak door of the castle.

There were torches burning in the spacious and deep foyer. On the right, the door to the auditorium was open. They needed to enter the auditorium before the arrival of the first-year students.

Kyle followed the crowd and walked in.

  After not seeing each other for two months, he really missed this place a little, and took a cordial look at the enchanted ceiling.

The weather is good today, there are no dark clouds, and the stars are very bright.

Kyle had just walked to the Hufflepuff table, and before he could sit down, he heard a voice shouting:

 “Kyle, can you come over here?”

Kyle looked up in surprise and found Professor Sprout, the Head of House of Hufflepuff, standing at the guest of honor and waving to him.

 “I’ll come right away, Professor.”

Kyle replied quickly and walked towards her through the crowded crowd.

"What do you want from me? Professor." Kyle asked.

“The Ministry of Magic sent something here some time ago, saying it was compensation for the Forbidden Forest incident two months ago.”

Professor Sprout smiled and said, "I think that was probably sent to you."
