if i am not me

Harry looked at Neville, who was sweating profusely, and hurriedly got up to take the luggage in his hands. Ginny, who was also sitting in the box, got up together.

Ron couldn't wait for Neville in the end.He was a prefect after all, which made it impossible for him to stay here and make the people in the prefect's car wait.So after Hermione also arrived, Draco went with them to fulfill their obligations, and Luna, who couldn't find a seat, was also left in this obviously spacious box by Ginny later.

"Dude, you're too late..." Helping Neville put his luggage on the luggage rack, Harry looked at Neville curiously. He looks thinner than last semester, but his overall temperament It was a lot more mature before.Sometimes, growth just happens overnight.

"Uh...sorry." Hearing Harry's words, Neville didn't know how to answer for a moment, he could only show an apologetic smile, and Harry punched him funny when he saw this scene.

Ginny didn't take her eyes off Neville from the moment he entered the door. Seeing that Neville had settled everything and sat down, she hurriedly sat beside him.She had a lot of questions to ask and a lot to say, but when she actually saw her, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Neville obviously sensed her emotions. Looking at his girlfriend, this shy boy stroked her hair steadily and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

It's just so magical.With just Neville's simple words, the worried look on Ginny's face faded.At this moment Neville turned his head to Luna, smiled friendly, "Hi, Luna."

Hearing this, Luna Lovegood just moved her big eyes that surprised her at any time from the magazine in her hand, looked at Neville, and then gave an erratic "hmm" .The magazine, Neville noted, was The Quibbler, a well-known... "problem" publication.

Fortunately, he also knew what kind of temper Luna had from Ginny, so Neville didn't mind her attitude, turned to look at Harry, and asked, "What about Ron and the others?"

At this time, there were only four people in the carriage including him. Although he had learned from the letters he had received that three prefects had appeared among his friends, he still wondered why he didn't see them here.

"The prefects have to go on patrol, and you might have to go to the front few cars to see them." Harry couldn't help smiling when he thought of Ron being dragged away by Hermione in the end, "Ron wanted to wait for you." .”

Neville seemed to understand the meaning of Harry's words, raised his brows, and said with a smile, "He, isn't he trying to be awkward?" With Ron's personality, the possibility of this is almost 90.00%.

At this time, Ginny, who had been silent all this time, spoke, "He hasn't received your reply, so..."

really!

Shaking his head helplessly, Neville sighed and said, "I can't reply to your letters where I am, sorry."

"Can you tell me?" Of course Harry knew what happened to Neville during this holiday, but the situation now is a bit different from what he used to be, at least he had the Weasleys, Sirius and Hermione by his side company, and Neville...

Bitterly twitching the corners of his mouth, Neville took a while to say in a calm tone, "You must have guessed my recent situation."

"It's just a rough guess."

"Dumbledore and the others thought Voldemort was going to come after me and do me no favors, so even though nothing happened this holiday, they took me to a place. Ah, I can't say the place, you know." Hearing this, Harry nodded his head to express his understanding, and then Neville continued, "Well, it's actually not too bad, except for a portrait that can curse people and a weird little elf...ah, there are more There is one thing. In fact, your letter was forwarded to me by someone else. Fortunately, they didn't think you would put poison on the letter paper..."

When Neville said this, he rolled his eyes. It was obvious that this incident made him feel bad about those who protected him, but Harry deeply understood it.The life where everything is being watched cannot be summed up in the word "bad".

Immediately afterwards, Neville suddenly said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "'That person' has not moved, but those people in the Ministry of Magic have gone crazy. I believe you have seen what was written in the newspapers recently. They actually said Dumbledore was lying... of course, including me, but that's nothing, I mean... I actually don't see why they don't want to believe that Voldemort is back."

The three words "Voldemort" are like a vicious spell. As soon as Neville said these three words, Ginny let out a weak grunt, but Harry just blinked slightly, and the expression on his face was not too serious. Lots of ups and downs.As for Luna, her face never moved from the magazine.But the reaction was enough to comfort Neville, after all he had had enough of everyone trembling at the words.

"Maybe I should feel lucky, Harry. If Dumbledore hadn't been the headmaster of Hogwarts, maybe I wouldn't even be able to go back to school." Neville said with a slight sarcasm, but suddenly he didn't want to continue This topic is over.Although, he still has a lot of things to complain about...

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about you guys. How was your holiday?" After adjusting his mood, Neville looked at Harry with a smile. Although his friends would write to him, he preferred to hear it with his own ears. The two feelings, they say, are completely different.

"It's still the same, but I didn't go out to play this year..." Seeing Neville change the subject, Harry and Ginny also knew that he was not as happy as he showed at the moment, so they simply followed his topic and picked up some relaxation. thing said.

Time passed slowly like this. During this period, Ron and the others didn't come back until the train was about to arrive at the station, and the three of them pushed the door of the carriage with tired faces.

"I'm so hungry..." Ron couldn't wait to sit down as soon as he got into the car, and after pounding his thigh, he closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair without moving.And Hermione and Draco were not much better than Ron, they shuffled and sat down on the bench, the two smiled at them helplessly, but they didn't mean to speak.

It seemed that they were exhausted enough, after all, there were not many things that could make Draco feel tired.Harry looked at the three of them, then looked out of the window, and asked, "Where is your school uniform in the box?"

"Just open it." Of course Ron knew what Harry meant, and said without lifting his eyelids, and Draco and Hermione also nodded to indicate that they were the same.

After getting the answer, Harry waved his wand and moved the suitcases of the three to his side. Ginny and Neville also came to help when they saw this.After several people changed into their robes, the train stopped slowly amidst the sound of flutes, and there was a lot of noise in the carriage.

"Let's go." After straightening his robes, Harry lifted the suitcase and Hedwig's birdcage in his hands, and walked out of the private room to join the flow of people in the aisle.

The platform was chaotic and complicated as usual, but this time it was different from the past. When I listened to it, the usual loud voice in the crowd was replaced by a clear female voice, "First-year freshmen come here... ...first-year freshmen..."

Hearing the sound, Ron looked at the source of the sound suspiciously, and found a young witch standing there, "Where's Hagrid?"

Ron's question was also the question of others, except for Harry who lowered his eyelids thoughtfully, the others also followed Ron's line of sight.But this crowded platform was obviously not a suitable place to talk. Neville looked around and said, "Let's go back to school first."

Seeing Neville's serious expression, the rest of the group nodded without saying anything, and then picked up their luggage and walked towards the carriage.Because except for Luna, everyone else is very clear that this is actually an extraordinary period...

The carriage could hold up to six people, so Harry and Drake got into it alone, but their envisioned solitude didn't materialize, as Crabbe and Goyle got into it later.In this regard, Harry and the two could only look at each other, chatting with them casually.

Crabbe and Goyle didn't seem to have heard any news from their father, so their attitudes and expressions remained the same as before, and almost all topics revolved around food.Seeing this, Draco showed a rare sincere smile. At this moment, maybe the two of them can be regarded as truly carefree people.

The road to the school was not long, and after a while, the carriage, which was still a little bumpy due to the speeding, stabilized.As soon as they parked, Crabbe and Goyle hurriedly opened the door, urging Harry and Draco up - after a day's train ride, these two gluttons are almost at their limit.

Maybe it was because there were more people in the car, so Ron and his carriage hadn't arrived yet.Harry and Draco, out of sight of them, walked toward the Great Hall with Crabbe and Goyle.However, Neville and the others were only a few minutes behind them before Harry and Drake sat down, and Ron's height of over 170 cm appeared in their sight.

As soon as the few of them appeared at the door of the auditorium, Harry heard a few unintelligible sneers from around him, and other people in the auditorium more or less began to whisper whispers.In this regard, Neville skillfully ignored all the scenes that might make him uncomfortable, and sat down at the Gryffindor table with Ron and Hermione talking and laughing.

Seeing their calm expressions, Harry knew that they had communicated a lot along the way. At least Ron was no longer awkward at the beginning, and was smiling and greeting the people around him.

Unfortunately, their good mood only lasted until the professors appeared.

When Dumbledore and the professors arrived belatedly and sat on the teacher's seat, the students erupted into a burst of incomprehensible discussions—because of the two women.

One you just met on the platform.Meticulously trimmed hair and protruding chin, it was the young female professor who took Hagrid's place to welcome the new students.

And another...

"Umbridge..." Draco frowned in disgust, looking at the pudgy woman sitting next to Dumbledore who was talking to him. "Why is she here?"
