The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

As soon as Hermione said these words, Ginny, who was still extremely shy, turned pale and stood up.

"Ha...Harry, he..."

Ginny was so anxious that she couldn't even speak clearly.

John also stood up and said:

"Don't be anxious. It's not a big deal if you miss the train. It's just that you're late and get scolded by Professor McGonagall."

Hermione and Ginny nodded, but the anxious look on their faces remained.

This is normal. They are only eleven or twelve-year-old children. To them, being scolded by Professor McGonagall is already a big deal.

"I will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry. As for now, let's get out of the car first."

After saying that, John walked out of the box first.

Hermione and Ginny were already panicking. Seeing John taking the lead, they nodded quickly and followed.

Several people got off the platform and met George and Fred.

"Have you met Harry and Ron?"

Before John could speak, George and Fred spoke anxiously.

"That's what I wanted to ask you," John replied.

"Then it's over!" George and Fred said, "We have been looking for them in the car all afternoon! The two of them..."

"Stop complaining!"

John interrupted, "I remember you have a brother who is a prefect, right? Didn't you ask him to help organize people to search in the car, or report the matter directly to Professor McGonagall?"

"Ha! Are you talking about Percy? That guy is eager to show his authority in front of the freshmen! How can he have time to care about his own brother's life and death!"

George and Fred were talking sinisterly.

"Then we have to do it ourselves! Let's go! Let's go!"

John waved his hand and led everyone to trot forward along the platform.

Not long after, nearly a hundred carriages appeared in front of a few people, each carriage being pulled by a Thestral horse.

The senior prefects from each college are gathering here to organize the old students to get on the carriage.

Freshmen take a boat ride in their first year, while older students ride a Thestral carriage. This is also a Hogwarts tradition.

"Senior Taylor!"

John saw the Slytherin prefect who liked to make desserts all the way away. He waved and shouted, "Hurry up and arrange some carriages for us! There are students who failed to board the Hogwarts Express. We must notify them immediately." Professors!”

As soon as these words came out, many of the prefects present frowned.

Because this should be their job.

Someone immediately wanted to stop him.

But the Slytherin prefects looked at each other and smiled.

They all knew that since John insisted on doing this, he must be trying to achieve something.

The Slytherin prefects glanced at Michelle and others behind John, and then naturally pointed to the two nearest carriages.

John nodded to them and immediately led the people into the carriage and flew towards Hogwarts.

The Thestral carriage moved very quickly, and not long after, John and others successfully arrived at Hogwarts Castle.

John led everyone through the huge oak door and into the deep foyer.

The entrance hall was brightly lit by torches, and a magnificent marble staircase led upstairs.

Professor McGonagall was standing at the entrance of the auditorium, smiling and greeting the students who were coming.

Seeing John and the others running towards him panting heavily, she frowned and said:

"Did something happen?"

"It's Harry, Harry and Ron..."

Hermione and the Weasley twins explained everything roughly to me word by word.

As they explained, Professor McGonagall's face became increasingly ugly.

"We haven't received any letters from them. Could they be..."

Professor McGonagall suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

But everyone still heard what she meant.

Harry and Ron, something might have happened.

It's not impossible.

After all, Voldemort had lurked in Quirrell and entered Hogwarts last semester, so there was a chance that another Death Eater would attack Harry.

Hermione and Ginny's eyes suddenly turned red.

The Weasley twins and Michelle also looked anxious.

"Don't be so hasty to draw conclusions yet!" John said, "Is it possible that they used other means of transportation to follow the train to Hogwarts on their own? I remember that Harry should have a broomstick, and the Nimbus 2000 ."

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then their expressions became tense again.

It was really possible for Harry and Ron to do something like this.

After all, they are all Gryffindors, and Gryffindors never lack courage, in every sense of the word.

Using a broomstick to go to school is extremely dangerous.

The reason why the Hogwarts Express exists is because before there were trains, little wizards who used broomsticks, portkeys, apparation, floo network or other means of transportation to go to school suffered too many casualties.

Not to mention using a broomstick and the possibility of being discovered by Muggles.

This is a serious violation of confidentiality laws!

Professor McGonagall's expression changed continuously. After a while, she managed to suppress her inner emotions and said:

"John, please go to the auditorium and take your seats first. We will deal with the matters related to Harry and Ron."

John shook his head and said:

"There is strength in numbers, Professor. How about this? You can go to look for Harry and Ron outside the school first. As for us, we will organize some students to guard the outside of the castle and wait and see. Maybe Harry and Ron will be there soon." We’re here. We can take care of it then.”

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But facing John's serious gaze, she finally nodded.

"That's it! I'll inform Dumbledore first!"

After saying this, Mag ran into the auditorium without looking back.

Her movements were really fast. After a short while, Dumbledore, Snape, Flitwick and other professors all came out, followed by those who had arrived before. students.

The crowd was divided into several groups under Dumbledore's command.

Professors such as McGonagall and Flitwick went out to search places such as the Burrow and King's Cross Station, while Professors Snape and Sprout stayed in the school, directing the students to wait.

Snape was very unhappy with this decision.

He kept saying that the school should not suspend the sorting ceremony just because of a single student, but his eyes kept glancing towards McGonagall and Flitwick.

John knew Snape too well.

It only took one look to tell that Snape wanted to go out searching like McGonagall.

John believed that Dumbledore also understood what Snape meant.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore pretended not to understand and forced Snape to stay in Hogwarts.

This made Snape very angry.

Seeing this, John took Hermione, Michelle and others away from Snape early - he would definitely get sprayed if he stayed.

Several people walked east and west around the outside of the castle eight times, and finally arrived at the Whomping Willow.

Hermione and Ginny were both in low spirits. They kept their heads down and said nothing during the whole journey.

Michelle was there to comfort them.

George and Fred were slightly better, they had confidence in their professors, especially Dumbledore.

Now that Dumbledore and the others have taken action.

Then they thought nothing serious would happen to Harry and Ron.

As for John, he was staring at the Whomping Willow without saying a word.

Time passed little by little in silence.

Suddenly, a high-speed moving light spot appeared in the night sky.

I saw it skipping the black lake, brushing the tower, and then avoiding the greenhouse crookedly, falling straight towards the Whomping Willow.

Hermione and others who were standing by the Whomping Willow were stunned.

They never expected that Harry and Ron's means of transportation would be a flying car!

"Don't be in a daze! Use obstacles quickly!"

John woke everyone up with a sharp shout.

Several people raised their wands and pointed to the sky.

As spells lifted into the sky, several invisible walls stood in front of the car.

The car's speed decreased rapidly until its inertia was forcibly removed and it fell vertically.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

John found the right moment and suddenly waved his wand.

Gray-white light flashed at the tip of its staff, and then, the car's falling speed slowed down little by little, and finally touched the Whomping Willow and landed on the ground.

At the same time, Snape from afar also rushed over.
