The Admiral of Hogwarts

Over the next two weeks, time was spent in various studies and discussions. Besides Hugo, Hermione, and Harry, Veneto and Firefly were also frequent visitors to this small space in the shop's attic.

For Harry, these were two very happy weeks, because he was finally able to have a free life, instead of working like a drudge at his aunt's house, doing a lot of housework.

For Hugo, during this time, he also took the opportunity to use the Tirpitz dagger his father bought to complete a summoning, but unexpectedly, he summoned not North Dakota, but Little Bel.

Just like her nickname, this little one preferred to stay in one place, so naturally, she joined Hood's shop as a wild witch and was stationed near the Granger's house.

In addition to this, the most important thing for Hugo and the others was that Glory, after healing the old American wizard, was unexpectedly favored by St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, but she chose to directly publicize her magic and politely declined the invitation.

"We need to build reputation now," Glory explained to Hugo afterward. "Besides, compared to St. Mungo's, I think we also need a secret treatment place."

"Compared to entering the system and becoming a famous healer at St. Mungo's, I think a healing master who lives in seclusion in a busy city sounds better."

However, although she politely declined St. Mungo's invitation, publicizing her healing methods still earned Glory a lot of goodwill from St. Mungo's. So St. Mungo's also gave Glory the title of honorary healer and prepared to start a series of collaborations with her.

Although the development of the situation was somewhat beyond expectations, the ship girls generally handled their respective affairs well throughout the vacation. So, on September 1st, Hugo put aside all his worries and went to King's Cross Station.

When the five of them said goodbye to the Grangers and Hood and arrived at Platform 9 and 3/4, they were surprised to find that their timing was indeed perfect, as the Weasley family was all standing on the platform, talking about something.

"Harry, you don't know how nervous Arthur was at the Ministry of Magic when he heard that you had left your aunt's house and disappeared—" After meeting, Mrs. Weasley enthusiastically pulled Harry aside to chat.

Several girls also gathered together to exchange their experiences during the holidays. At this time, Hugo walked to a pillar with the twins, and then, under the cover of the pillar, they exchanged information about what happened in the previous alchemy competition.

"You did a great job, Hugo." After reaching the back of the pillar, Fred and George each put their hands on Hugo's shoulders, and then Fred said to Hugo with a bright smile.

"I really didn't expect that you could create a powerful hypnotic powder in such a short period of time, then knock down all the terrorists and rescue the hostages."

"Yes, so I said from the beginning that you should receive the Order of Merlin," George added from the side. "I believe that most adult wizards don't have the ability and courage like you to do everything you've done."

"I just did it on a whim at the time, it's not as great as you said," Hugo shook his head gently, knowing his own limitations, and said.

"And I have to say it was an adventure, I was just lucky enough to succeed."

"I don't think it's just your luck," Fred shrugged, then asked in a low voice.

"By the way, do you have a weaker version of that sleeping potion? We developed a Daydream Charm before, but it's really troublesome to make people fall asleep."

"I do have some, but I personally think it's more appropriate to find a way to make a weakened version of the Stupefy Charm, otherwise the cost may be too high, which will affect sales—"

"Okay, kids, it's time to get on the train." After everyone chatted for seven or eight minutes, Mrs. Weasley's voice came from the side.

So everyone bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and walked into the carriage. Only Harry, who was walking at the end, was pulled away by Mr. Weasley, presumably to tell him about Sirius.

Because talking on the platform had taken up a lot of time, most of the carriages were now full of students. Therefore, Hugo and the others could only look for empty carriages all the way to the back.

Along the way, Hugo found himself more popular than usual, and everyone who knew him took the initiative to greet him. Obviously, this should be largely related to his previous receipt of the foreign Order of Merlin.

When everyone walked together to the door of the first compartment in the last carriage, Hugo saw Enterprise sitting alone in the carriage, gnawing on a hamburger.

"You can sit here. I think now all the compartments should be full except for the compartment where the new professor this year is," Enterprise said, inviting Ron, who had opened the compartment door and poked his head in.

Obviously, so many people needed two compartments to sit down. So Hugo, Hermione, Veneto, and Firefly sat together with Enterprise in one compartment, while Harry sat with Ron, Ginny, and the Weasley twins in the next compartment.

Soon, the train started. The Hogwarts Express left the platform in a cloud of milky white steam and headed north.

"I rarely see professors taking the Hogwarts Express to school." After the train had been running for a while, Hermione shifted the topic to the two professors on the train today. "Is this related to Sirius Black's escape from prison?"

"Actually, every professor can go to the headmaster's office fireplace through the Floo Network, or Apparate to Hogsmeade and take a carriage to school. Because those transportation methods are faster, few professors are willing to shake on the train for a whole day."

"As for why I appeared here, the reason is very simple..." Enterprise spread out her palms, "I think you should know that I now have a very important job in the school, which is to be responsible for security work, so this year's situation naturally requires me to guard the train."

"As for Professor Lupin next door, I guess he might want to relive his journey to school. After all, for a wizard who graduated from Hogwarts, this train should evoke their memories of that year."

After everyone chatted for a while, the train left the city and sped across the English countryside. Because they didn't want to waste time, several people simply took out a book from their bags and read it.

To be honest, although the Hogwarts Express is an old-fashioned train from the 19th century, under the transformation of magic, the stability of the entire train is no less than that of high-speed rail in later generations, and it is very suitable for reading.

The only thing that disturbed them was a few minutes after the train left the city, Malfoy led two little followers to open the carriage door, wanting to say something, but when he saw Enterprise, he shrank back.

Maybe the weather throughout England was bad today, so the further north the train went, the heavier the rain fell, and eventually a dense, viscous gray appeared on the window glass and gradually deepened.

"Okay, everyone, stop reading now, otherwise it's not good for your eyes." Looking at the dim yellow lights on the corridor and luggage racks, Enterprise put down the book and called out.
