I, Hogwarts Week Two

Chapter 536 On the Train

"Okay, Harry, you stay with us," Hermione said solemnly.

"Shouldn't you stay away from us? Especially you." Owen rubbed his chin and said, "How about you pretend to be someone else?"

"No——" the little witch refused sternly, "They have already risked their lives for us, how can we pretend to be someone else with a clear conscience?"

"Having one more self can create an extra illusion."

"Okay." Owen shrugged indifferently. As long as Hermione stayed by his side, no one could hurt her.

"Justin, come here--" He waved his hand. Turning to Harry, he said, "After getting in the car, Harry, you will sit with Justin, Hannah and Susan."

"No problem!" Justin patted his chest and said confidently, "Leave it to us."

"I think I can still help," Harry argued.

"No, we are not the protagonists of this battle." Owen smiled and said, "Just show up. Do you think Professor Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, and the Federation will remain indifferent after receiving the information?"

"Just wait and see. This is going to be a big battle. If Tom comes, it might be no less than a decisive battle."

"Yeah - that's true." Hermione and Harry nodded.

Suddenly, most of the worries in my heart disappeared.

These two little fools thought that this battle was about them facing the Death Eater Voldemort!

how can that be!

They were not the protagonists of this battle from the beginning to the end, and the Polyjuice Potion Plan was just a precautionary measure against unexpected events.

"It's almost time. We should leave."

It's about nine o'clock now.

It was almost ten o'clock by the time we arrived at Hogsmeade Station.

The train is about to arrive.

Walking out of the castle, the open space was lush and green, full of vitality. The long-lasting fog in the forbidden forest in the distance seemed to have dissipated a lot. The mountains and fields became crystal clear.

The bright sunshine shone through the clouds onto the castle's spires and windows, sparkling with golden light.

From time to time, sirens would jump out of the water in the Black Lake, show off their proud figures for a moment, and then fall into the lake, creating a splash of water.

Owen and Hermione rode in the same Thestral carriage.

After passing through a leafy forest road, we stopped at a fork in the road.

Further ahead is the direction of the station, and on the right hand side, a path down and covered by vines leads to the Black Lake.

All new students have to take this road to Hogwarts by boat.

The train has stopped at the station.

From a distance, they could see steam rising in the distance.

After getting on the bus, Hermione and Owen found a compartment and sat down.

Ron and Ginny sat in the same compartment with them.

Harry followed Justin and the others to other compartments.

"What's wrong? You look disturbed."

On the chair in the cubicle, Owen assumed a comfortable position and leaned back.

When they were in the hall, he noticed that Ron's attention was not entirely on them. Except for a few complaints about Draco with Harry at the beginning, he was in a daze the rest of the time.

"He's worried about Koyalt." Hermione said the truth.

"Yeah - yes, she is also one of the targets of the Death Eaters." Owen said. It was she and Ron who ruined Voldemort's plan back then.

"But I don't think the Death Eaters have enough manpower to attack two places at the same time. He should hate us more than the Muggle Prime Minister. So she should be fine."

"Uh..." Ginny pouted, "Is this really a good explanation?"

"Okay," Owen said, "The Death Eaters may not really come today. Intelligence is always just intelligence until it actually happens, and it is full of variables."

"That's right. But..."

But it's hard to feel reassured when professors make such a big fuss.

Ginny sighed, feeling extremely nervous.

Compared to the others, they had all faced Voldemort, either actively or passively, and escaped successfully. She had never faced Voldemort alone.

Even during the Battle of Hogsmeade in her third grade, she was so young that she only looked at the battlefield from afar and did not participate at all.

Technically, if Voldemort were to attack the train today, it would be the first time she would face him.

Hermione began to comfort her.

Although she has no experience in this area, but at this time, as the backbone, she still has to be strong.

The train started running half an hour later.

The journey lasted more than four hours, and now was their last peaceful time.

About halfway through the train's journey, there was a sudden knock on the compartment door.

Hermione and Ginny raised their wands nervously, worry in their eyes.

"It's me." Tonks' voice came from outside.

After opening the door, it was indeed the rebellious witch with pink hair.

"It's time to tell the truth to all the young wizards," she said. "Go to the prefects' carriage. The prefects from each house are waiting for you."

"Okay." Hermione nodded on Owen's behalf.

Then he stood up and was about to leave.

Ron was going to follow as well, he was the Gryffindor prefect.

Ginny followed at the end because once they left, she would be alone in the compartment and that would be unsafe, so Hermione decided to take her with her.

The carriage was quiet.

Very unusual.

It seemed that what they talked about in the auditorium had been passed on to other people through the DA little wizards.

Tonks's action was unnecessary.

However, there may still be some young wizards who do not know the truth, and blindly following others may lead to distorted information, so it is still necessary to explain it again.

By the time Owen and the others entered the prefect's carriage, the others had already arrived.

Hermione told everyone the general situation.

In addition, she also needed to personally pass the message to the Slytherins, because their prefect Draco was not there, and only the prefects of the other three houses were present.

After hearing Hermione's story, everyone became worried.

<divclass="contentadv">Hermione could no longer say anything to comfort her, and could only repeat what Owen had told her, such as: most of the young wizards were not targets, the protagonists of the war were Dumbledore and the Aurors, and that an attack might not necessarily happen.

However, this did not cheer up the little wizards' spirits, and they still looked worried.

As they left the carriage, they ran into Pansy Parkinson.

She was right at the door, probably eavesdropping.

"Where's Draco?" Pansy said nervously, "I'm here to find Draco. Are you bullying him?"

"No one bullied him!" Hermione said nonchalantly, "He didn't come over, he was in another compartment. Maybe he didn't want to see you. Well - if it's okay, we have other things to do."

"You're talking nonsense." Pansy became excited, "How could he not want to see me? He's my boyfriend!"

"Haha - then you'd better control your boyfriend." Hermione said in a threatening tone. Then she ignored her and walked straight past her.

"Hey - wait -" Pansy wanted to ask about Draco's exact location, but Hermione didn't give her any chance.

She also had to go to the carriage where the Slytherins were gathering to deliver the message.

On the other side, Owen went to find Harry.

In another hour the train would pull into King's Cross Station.

Harry had to pretend to be Draco in advance and walk around the carriage a few times to prove that he was there.

He easily found Hannah and her friends' carriage.

Then he told Harry to drink the potion.

The Polyjuice Potion irritated Harry's throat, causing him to gasp and grimace.

Then, his facial features began to wriggle and deform like hot wax. He grew taller, his hair turned from black to platinum, and his face became thinner and more three-dimensional.

"I must look awful now," said Harry, rubbing his cheek and taking off his glasses. "It feels a little weird."

"Don't be surprised." Owen interrupted, "You don't look like Draco at all. You just look the same, but your temperament is completely different."

"Imagine what he normally looks like."

"What does Malfoy usually look like?" Harry was stunned, then thought for a while, then raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and tried to look arrogant.

Unfortunately, no matter how he adjusted his facial features, he just couldn't produce that kind of contemptuous, superior expression. Instead, he kept making weird expressions, which made Hannah and the others laugh out loud.

"Okay - it turns out that being sarcastic and domineering is not that easy to fake." Harry sighed and rubbed his stiff face. "I'll just leave it as it is. Anyway, the Death Eaters and Malfoy are not familiar with each other, so they can't tell the real from the fake."

"Okay..." Owen led Harry out of the compartment and showed his face in other carriages.

"Hey - Owen." When walking to the carriage where the Ravenclaws gathered, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded.

"What's wrong, Luna?"

Luna walked past him and came straight to Harry as if in a dream, her silver eyes fixed on him.

Harry felt a little scared when he saw it.

"Well, Harry, your Malfoy impersonation is nothing like it. The smell is different. But you both have a bunch of harassment flies gathering around your heads, which is similar."

"Harassment fly?" Harry took a step back and said uncomfortably. After being in contact with Luna for so long, he also learned the words of this nervous little witch.

In his opinion, the harassment flies mentioned by Luna represent troubles. If she says that there are a lot of harassment flies gathered around your head, it means that you are very troubled and your thoughts are in a mess.

In addition to harassment flies, there are also nymph hooks, fire elves, invisibility monsters, etc.

In short, these things all represent something specific in Luna's eyes. Ordinary people will feel strange and confused at first, thinking that she is crazy and talking nonsense. But in fact, you only need to replace those strange things she said with their correct meanings to understand what she meant.

This is what Owen told him.

Owen always had a great time chatting with Luna, saying things that seemed like nonsense to others, but only they understood the true meaning.

"I didn't know Malfoy had so many worries." Harry said disdainfully, "Oh, yes! Lucius betrayed Vol--the You-Know-Who. I think he's probably worried about that."

"He was tripped by the Invisibility Demon," Luna said vaguely. "They dug a lot of deep pits for him. I have seen him mysteriously fall into the pits several times, and each time he would emerge from somewhere else. I suspect that the Invisibility Demons are secretly digging tunnels in the castle. They want to join forces with the Fire Elves to attack Hogwarts."

"Huh?" Harry was a little confused. There was no decoding for this paragraph in the code book Owen gave him.

"That's because Draco always takes Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as someone else in the castle, so he looks mysterious and always pops up from other places." Owen explained. "Okay, Luna, you should get ready. The master of the fire spirit may be coming."

"Oh - really?" Luna looked up, blinking unnaturally, "They have become bolder. I want to catch one and study it, and then publish it in The Quibbler."

Luna's voice continued.

But Harry had automatically filtered out her voice and looked towards the end of the corridor. It was Ginny and Hermione walking over.

"Oh - Merlin!" Ginny screamed in surprise, and then ran towards Harry quickly.

Harry had already opened his arms, and according to the normal plot they would hug each other and say words of comfort to each other.

But unfortunately, an accident happened this time.

Ginny stopped about ten inches from Harry.

Then he said with a strange look on his face, "Um - Harry - I'm sorry, the way you look now - makes me a little..."

"I know." Harry lowered his arms uninterested. "Disgusting, right? Me too."

"It's okay, actually." Ginny quickly comforted her, "You don't look like him at all. Even with Malfoy's face, I can still recognize you at a glance. You are you."

"Thank you—" said Harry.

Suddenly, a high-pitched and sharp voice sounded behind them.

Everyone turned and saw Pansy Parkinson, raising her shaking arms and screaming, "Get away from him, you filthy bitch. Get out of—"

Harry frowned and almost took out his wand, but considering his current disguise.

He could reveal his true identity in front of Hermione, Hannah, Luna and others because they were all trustworthy, but he could not reveal his true identity in front of the Slytherins because these people might have connections with Voldemort.

"Shut up, Parkinson! Didn't anyone in your family teach you manners?" Hermione said angrily.

But at this time Parkinson had obviously lost his mind.

She drew her wand and stared at Ginny.

Owen felt a sense of defeat, humiliation, anger and rage after being defeated.

Because the reason is simple, Pansy herself is very ugly. Well - I can't say she is ugly, I can only say she has a very stylish face, like a poodle. Malfoy chose her to be his girlfriend because of her family background and because there were no other girls in his small circle.

But once Malfoy stepped out of his small circle and no longer focused on pure-bloods and pro-Death Eater forces, it would be easy for him to find a beautiful girlfriend with his handsome looks.

That's why Pansy reacted so violently after seeing Ginny and Harry being so intimate.

Because this means that Draco, who steps out of his small circle, will never choose her again.
