HP's Platinum Temptation

After returning home, Clarence was lost for a few days. As the start of school day approached, he decided to put his troubles behind him for a while.

King's Cross Station, September [-]st.

The Duke and Duchess of Razlan sent their two sons to the train station in a low-key manner.You know, their family's status in the Muggle world is now a well-known celebrity.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Terrence, Emilia and Alvira all stayed at home.The duchess went through a simple disguise.

Entering platform nine and three-quarters, Theodore took his and Clarence's luggage to the train and put them on the train very familiarly, and then went back to his parents to say goodbye.

"Mr. Lambert, it's great to meet you here." A gentle and courteous voice came from the Duke of Rezland talking with Clarence.

"Mr. Lister, it's a pleasure to meet you here." Duke Rezlan extended his hand and shook hands with the visitor.After Mr. Lister and the Duchess also nodded, they looked at Clarence specifically, and nodded again indistinctly: "Is your child also entering school this year?"

"Yes, this is my son, Jeffrey Lister." Mr. Lister proudly put his hand on the little boy's shoulder, motioning for him to call someone.

"Good day, Mr. Lambert, Mrs. Lambert." Jeffrey, like his father, had smooth black hair.The blue eyes are very beautiful.Greet the Duke of Rezlan politely.

"Hello, Mr. Lister. This is my son. The older one is Theodore Lambert. The younger one is a freshman this year like you, Clarence Lambert."

"It seems that the children can become good friends ahead of time. This is a good sign, isn't it, Mr. Lambert." Mr. Lister smiled happily.

"I believe so. Clarence, you will get on well, won't you?"

"Of course, father." After Clarence nodded to Duke Rezlan, he turned to Jeffrey: "You can call me Clarence."

"You can also call me Jeffrey. Nice to meet you." So the two children shook hands very solemnly.The three adults chatted happily beside them, talking about some interesting things in life.The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

Many people passing by occasionally glanced sideways at the six people standing together.Both the Lister family and the Lambert family are one of the recently revived families. The communication between the patriarchs of the two families seems very normal and natural to others.It's just that occasionally some half-prime wizards in green school robes will raise their chins indistinctly when they pass by them, as if to show their disdainful attitude.

The Rist family is a core member of the business alliance organized by Clarence, and the old Rister is the most Slytherin in the alliance, and the only one. blood wizard.Unlike most other families, the Lister family was not in an unknown state before.On the contrary, under the leadership of the old Riester, the Riester family has always maintained a level of around the middle.

And the Lister family joining the business alliance was not an invitation sent by the Lambert family.

The chance meeting on the platform this time was not accidental at all. It was an appointment made by Clarence and old Liszt through owl mail the morning before.The old Rist came over and took the initiative to greet, so that Jeffrey and Clarence got to know each other justifiably. After entering school, Jeffrey will always follow Clarence.

Old Rist was very happy that his son could become good friends with the Lord of the Alliance.

"Father, Mr. Lister. The train is about to leave, I think we have to get on the train first." Theodore looked at the time and reminded the three adult wizards who were talking happily.

"Oh, yes, let's go." Duke Rezlan nodded with a smile.

"Jeffrey, you should also be with Mr. Lambert. Remember to write a letter home." Mr. List then also asked aloud.

After the three children bid farewell to their parents, they filed into the carriage.

The new car is at the back of the train.Theodore thought about it, and decided to go to the carriage over there with the two freshmen.Because Theodore controlled the time, he took Clarence and Jeffrey on the train a little earlier. When they came to the rear compartment, they were lucky to find an empty compartment.

Not long after sitting down, the corridor of the freshman carriage began to become lively.Many of the kids had passed the cubicle where Clarence was, but there were already three people in it, so they chose to look for other cubicles.

"Knock, knock." When the three of them were bored watching the bustling crowd outside the window, waiting for the train to start, there was a soft knock on the door of the compartment.A girl with blond shoulder-length hair, blue eyes, and a slightly shy expression stood outside the compartment door.

Geoffrey, who was sitting by the door, opened the compartment door.

"Hello, my name is Daphne Virgil, and I can't find an empty cubicle by myself. Can I join you?"

"Of course, please come in, beautiful lady." Clarence answered the lady's question and invited her into the cubicle with a smile.Because Clarence was sitting with Jeffrey, Daphne sat next to Theodore.

Among the 11-year-old kids in the car, the seventh-grade Theodore is obviously much more mature and feels quite different.When Daphne sat next to Theodore, she was even more shy than when she knocked on the door.

"Don't be nervous ma'am. My name is Theodore Lambert and I am a seventh grader. This is my brother, Clarence Lambert, and our new friend today, Jeffrey Lister Both of them are freshmen this year just like you." Seeing Daphne's shy reaction, Theodore couldn't help laughing.This reminded him of Jenny Dawn back then, a trace of sadness flashed in her smiling eyes, but no one noticed.

"Hello, my name is Daphne Virgil. You can call me Daphne." The girl then turned to the other two boys and re-introduced herself seriously.

With the three boys proactively accosting, the atmosphere in the cubicle quickly became harmonious.Perhaps this is why students of other grades in Hogwarts do not limit their compartments because of their grades, but freshmen have to sit in special compartments.Many times, friendships between new students are formed on the train to school.

At exactly eleven o'clock, the train left the station.In the freshman compartment, everyone seemed to be in a happy mood, and chattering voices kept coming from outside.

"Theodore, you are a seventh grader, so you must know about the sorting ceremony?" Daphne was still a little nervous when she spoke to Theodore.Perhaps because of Lambert's genetics, the boys were of impressive height as adults.

"Of course, I know. You seem nervous. Every year freshmen seem to be nervous before sorting. Why is that? It's really not a big deal."

"I've heard that most parents and elders seem to like to say that sorting is a terrible process, very serious." When Clarence said, he looked at Jeffrey.

"Yes, actually I want to ask this question too. My father said that this is a tradition. Sorting is a mysterious and serious process, and we must be careful to get through it. No matter how I ask, he refuses to reveal More detailed content. It made me nervous all night to prepare for a possible battle." Jeffrey nodded, and at the same time looked eagerly at Theodore.

"Haha, well, it seems that our parents don't seem to follow the tradition, don't you think so, Clay." Theodore smiled and threw the topic to Clarence.

"Maybe. I also heard from my parents that the sorting ceremony is actually very simple. Hogwarts has an old hat that looks tattered, called the sorting hat. Wait for all the senior students to enter the Great Hall and sit down." Afterwards, our freshmen of this year will line up and enter the auditorium. Then Professor McGonagall will call everyone's name. The person whose name is called will sit on a stool and put on a sorting hat. Then sort cap would have assigned us to different houses."

"Do you wear hats one by one?" Daphne turned her head and looked out of the compartment door, as if she could see clearly how many students were in this compartment through the wooden boards all around: "There are a lot of students this year, isn't that so?" How long will it take?"

"I think so. Every year when the school starts, the freshman branch is a major event. Not only you are looking forward to it, but we are also looking forward to it. For the vast majority of senior students, how many new students will come to our college? It is a matter of great concern. There may be another reason for the freshmen to go to the sorting school one by one. Only in this way, students of other grades will quickly get to know your freshmen. You know, although the number of wizards is not numb There are so many melons. But all the little wizards in England gathered together, the number is amazing." Theodore explained.

"And I heard that many students who should have enrolled last year chose to come this year." Jeffrey muttered softly,

"Oh, you actually mentioned Muggles. Then I think you must not be a senior student in Slytherin. My parents said that Slytherin students hate people of Muggle blood very much." Daphne said in surprise .Apparently she didn't hear Geoffrey's whisper.

"Yes, ma'am guessed it right, I'm from Hufflepuff College." Theodore shrugged and smiled without hesitation.

"I don't know which house I'll be sorted to? I hope it's not Slytherin, Mom says, it's not for me. And, probably, I won't go there either. My parents are Ravenclaws." .So I want to go to that college too. Mom said, there are a lot of books there. How about you?"
