Hogwarts: I will not become the Dark Lord
#362 - First day of school
The next morning, as the first rays of dawn broke, Jerry awoke from his sleep. His hand touched the bedding beside him, where a faint warmth lingered.
"Jerry, wake up and get out of bed, Mrs. Weasley is hurrying you!" Hermione pushed the door open and tossed Jerry's clothes for the day onto the bed.
Early in the morning, the whole house was in chaos.
After Jerry and Hermione got ready and came downstairs, they saw Fred and George enchanting their trunks, making them fly automatically to their designated spots. However, there was a slight problem with their spell, and the trunks headed straight for Ginny.
"Ginny, look out!" Mrs. Weasley shouted in alarm.
"Snap!" Amidst the chaos, a crisp finger snap echoed, and the twins' heavy trunks abruptly halted in front of Ginny, less than two inches from her nose.
"Thank goodness, Jerry, thank you so much!" Mrs. Weasley said gratefully, then angrily grabbed Fred and George by an ear each and headed towards Ginny.
"Impressive wandless magic!" Moody said, swiveling his head. His blue magical eye was fixed on Jerry. "I've seen many wizards your age, even older, most of whom haven't even mastered silent spells, let alone wandless magic. You're the only one!"
"Jerry learned the Patronus Charm when he was just a first year!" Hermione said proudly.
But I'm not bad either, Hermione thought to herself, I can summon my own Patronus easily too!
"Indeed very impressive," Moody didn't deny. His gaze shifted to the small trunk at Jerry's feet. "However... can that trunk really hold all of your luggage?"
"Unauthorized use of the Undetectable Extension Charm is a serious offense. The Ministry of Magic explicitly prohibits wizards from arbitrarily modifying their belongings in this way. If the Ministry finds out, it won't just be an expulsion from Hogwarts like last time!"
"Jerry..."
"It's not that exaggerated. As long as Mr. Moody doesn't snitch, the Ministry of Magic won't be bored enough to inspect a Hogwarts student's suitcase on the train!" Jerry said nonchalantly, then took Hermione's hand and walked towards the front hall of the old house.
Moody watched Jerry's back, his magical eye slowly rotating. He had to remind Dumbledore to keep an eye on his grandson who didn't like following the rules.
"Long time no see, Jerry!" Cedric suddenly appeared in the hall, greeting everyone warmly.
"Cedric? What are you doing here?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore tell you? I've joined the Order of the Phoenix too," Cedric explained with a smile.
"He's right," Moody explained. "I forgot to tell you last night, Sturgis was originally supposed to escort you to the train station, but he's gone missing for the second time this week, so we had to ask Cedric to help out. Next time I see Dumbledore, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. That guy is even less reliable than Mundungus these days!"
"What does that mean?" Harry looked at Moody, puzzled. "We need guards to go to the train station?"
"Just to be safe!" Moody nodded, saying seriously, "Everyone will go in batches on foot. And give me your luggage, I'll send it to the train station."
"Why aren't we taking a car?" Jerry asked, confused. "Isn't it faster by car?"
"Jerry, actually I don't think it's bad to walk!" Sirius said. "It's not far from here to the train station, about twenty minutes. We have plenty of time."
"Oh, no..." Mrs. Weasley said somewhat irritably after seeing Sirius's form. "Okay, okay, just don't cause any trouble on the way, otherwise you'll be responsible for the consequences!"
"Alright, Harry, you go with Tonks, Lupin, and me," Moody said, glancing at his watch and quickly making arrangements. "Cedric, you take Jerry and Hermione; Ginny, you, George, and Fred go with your father."
Jerry and Hermione pushed open the door of the old house and stepped into the soft September sunlight, setting off with Cedric towards the train station. The journey was relatively peaceful.
"I never thought you'd join the Order of the Phoenix," Jerry said with emotion.
"I trust Professor Dumbledore!" Cedric replied firmly.
"Huh?" Hermione's gaze fell on Cedric's finger. "Cedric, that ring on your hand is..."
"Oh, this?" Cedric smiled and raised his hand. "Cho and I are engaged, just this summer."
"Really? I didn't expect it to be so soon!" Hermione looked in surprise at Cedric's happy face, and unconsciously hugged Jerry's arm tighter, feeling envious in her heart... I'll be sixteen in half a month...
Entering the station, the three pretended to casually wander near the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. When no one was around, they quickly passed through the platform, where the Hogwarts Express stood quietly, puffing out wisps of black smoke, the platform bustling with people.
After waiting on the platform for a while, the others arrived safely one after another, everything went smoothly, without any twists and turns.
"Cedric, didn't you encounter any trouble along the way?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"No, everything went very smoothly," Cedric replied with a smile.
"Alright, you must take care of yourselves," Lupin shook hands and said goodbye one by one.
"Remember, don't write everything when you write letters, if you're not sure, it's best not to write anything," Moody reminded from the side, wearing a porter's hat.
After saying goodbye, Mrs. Weasley urged everyone to get on the train quickly.
At this time, Sirius Black, in his Animagus form as a large black dog, placed his front paws on Harry's shoulders and stood up on his hind legs.
Seeing this, Mrs. Weasley quickly pushed Harry onto the train, and whispered, "Sirius, for Merlin's sake, you have to act more like a dog!"
"Goodbye, everyone!" As the train slowly started, Harry shouted from the train window, Ron and Ginny waving non-stop beside him.
The figures of the people seeing them off on the platform quickly shrank, only the large black dog still chasing the train window, wagging its tail incessantly.
Until the train's speed increased, Sirius's figure gradually disappeared from view.
