The Charles Becomes a Wizard

The Malfoy family's apology gift arrived at Phantomhive Manor earlier than Ciel and his friends.

The gifts included many rare herbs and valuable magic items. From this alone, we can tell that Lucius has a strong desire to survive.

Of course, there is also the intention of wanting to get closer to Gellert.

According to the tacit unspoken rules of these ancient families, if Gellert had no intention of attacking the Malfoy family, these things could not be returned.

These gifts, which seemed very valuable to others, were commonplace to Gellert, so he only kept a few special magic props and gave the rest to Charles and Eric at a low price.

Time always goes by so fast in the few days before school starts.

Eric came to the train station to see Charles off again, but this time a small accident happened.

Looking at the scattered luggage in front of him and the savior and his follower lying on the ground with a large red spot on their foreheads, obviously dazed, Charles slowly approached the stone pillar leading to the platform, reached out to touch it, but only touched the cold wall.

Ciel frowned.

It seems as if this passage has been blocked by someone.

His eyes couldn't help but wander to Harry, and Charles knew that he might have been implicated by the savior this time.

"Ciel, you can't get in either?!" Harry, who had finally gotten up from the ground, asked anxiously.

"Yes, there must be something wrong with this passage."

"What should we do? We are definitely going to miss the train!" Harry rubbed his messy hair in annoyance.

He had escaped from his aunt's house. His aunt and uncle put bars on the windows of the room where he lived to punish him. If the Weasley brothers had not rescued him overnight, he would probably not have had the chance to get to the platform.

He clearly said that he didn't do those things...

It was the house-elf named Dobby who was causing the trouble...

The house-elf who caused him to be punished even withheld the letters his friends wrote to him!

But my aunt and uncle just don't want to believe me...

Harry couldn't believe what would happen if he missed the train to Hogwarts and lost the chance to go to school there.

He was tired of being locked up in that small room, tired of being bullied by his cousin Dali, and didn't want to go back to his life before he came into contact with magic...

So Harry was particularly hopeful of finding a way to get him on time for the train.

"Ciel, do you have any good ideas?" Harry asked.

"For now, I don't have any ideas." Ciel shook his head at Harry's expectant gaze.

"What are your plans?"

"We..." Harry was about to say something, but Ron Weasley grabbed his arm.

"It's none of your business!" said Ron Weasley rudely.

There was a hint of complacency on his face that was not completely concealed, and it seemed that he had come up with an idea.

But he obviously didn't want Ciel to know, or maybe he was still dreaming that if Ciel missed the train, he would be expelled from Hogwarts.

"Ron, don't..." Harry tried to smooth things over, but Charles interrupted him first.

"Eric, let's go back first."

No matter what "good ideas" the two of them came up with, Charles didn't intend to get involved - because things related to this savior always seemed dangerous...

Besides, it wasn't like Ciel really had no way of getting to Hogwarts on time for the sorting ceremony of the new year, so there was really no need to take those unnecessary risks.

Even if Sebastian carried him, he could run all the way to Hogwarts...

But why bother? Shouldn't the school be held responsible for such a thing? He didn't have to do anything, just contact the professors at Hogwarts.

"But..." Harry was about to say something when he was interrupted by Ron Weasley.

The red-haired boy pulled him and whispered something to him, and Harry stopped talking, but the look he gave Charles was filled with a hint of guilt.

"Well, Harry, see you at school." Charles straightened his clothes, nodded at Harry, turned and left.

"Humph, it's not certain whether some people can make it to the opening ceremony!" Ron Weasley's deliberately louder voice came from behind.

"Ron, stop talking..." mixed with Harry's whispered advice.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?" After getting in the car, Charles stretched out a finger and poked Eric, who was sulking beside him with a puffy face.

"Charles, why did you hold me back just now?" Eric said dissatisfiedly.

"If I don't hold you back, you'll just rush over and beat him up?" Ciel raised his eyebrows. "As the heir of the Phantomhive family, fighting in public will be on the news. Do you want your father to punish you?"

"But he just..."

"He's just a brainless idiot. There's no need to take him seriously." Charles shook his head.

"Ciel," Eric said dully, "what do you say about me going to Hogwarts?"

"Huh?" Charles looked at him in surprise. "Father won't agree."

If you also go to Hogwarts, won't the Phantomhive family's connections accumulated over generations be abandoned?

"Eric, why do you suddenly think this way?" Charles asked seriously.

"That's right," Eric reached out and hugged his brother, "I always felt that you would be bullied in a place where you are unfamiliar with everyone."

The obedient little animals were shocked by Charles' series of actions: Do you want to listen to what you are saying!

Charles was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and touched Eric's soft hair, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Don't worry, Eric, no one can bully me."

"Char...."

"what happened?"

"Don't touch my hair, I'm obviously the brother!"

......

After contacting Professor Snape through the two-way mirror that he used to communicate with Draco, Ciel stayed safely at home.

Not long after, a slight sound was heard in the air, and Snape appeared in front of Charles with a sullen face.

"Mr. Phantomhive, I think you should pack your luggage." Snape's sinister eyes swept over Charles.

"of course."

"Well, let's go now." Snape didn't give Charles time to say goodbye to his family again. He took out a silver box from his arms. In the box was the Floo powder that Charles had just used a few days ago.

Snape strode to the fireplace, holding the box in one hand and said to Ciel, "I think Mr. Phantomhive already knows how to use Floo powder?"
