Chapter 10 Cedric Diggory

The voice of the dog system appeared again, making the smile on Carl's face disappear even more completely.

He looked at Hermione first, and the girl couldn't help but dodge after feeling his gaze.

But after a moment, he put his hands on his hips and said confidently.

"You didn't even ask me why I came back to this carriage, but just kept apologizing to me. Did I have a chance to speak?"

Hearing this, Karl took a deep breath, turned his head mechanically, and looked at the open door of the carriage.

Sure enough, I saw a group of students, big and small, surrounding the door of my carriage, staring at the interior of the carriage in amazement.

In the middle of the aisle where they gathered, a group of Scottish chickens of all sizes were neatly lined up in a row.

At the front of this special queue, Snape, dressed in all black, was pacing back and forth in front of the group of plump owls with his wings on his back.

The 'Pet Version of Potions Teaching Live Broadcast' was being performed. Seeing this scene, Carl was still wondering what was going on.

That annoying voice in my mind sounded again.

[Host, remember to turn off your magical animal's natural affinity, otherwise all the pets on the entire train will be affected. ]

【They will all come to you. 】

Hearing this, Carl could only greet the dog system with sweet words in his mind.

In reality, he put away his wand and dispelled the magic, then gracefully asked Hermione to get up and leave her seat, and directly escorted her out of the carriage.

Finally, under the gaze of a group of onlookers, he grabbed Snape and put it in his pocket, then closed the carriage door at lightning speed.

Sitting alone in the seat, with his head down in deep thought.

It's over! This was the only thought in Carl's mind. After all, he had been working hard for so many years to represent public opinion in the United States (organizing a gang).

He has accumulated rich experience by engaging in international trade (arms smuggling) and running a pharmaceutical company (selling psychotropic drugs).

It is very clear that when you arrive in an unfamiliar city or place, the best way to start a business (develop an organization) is to hide first.

You can't let yourself become the focus, otherwise your every move will be noticed.

Although he and Professor Snape had some "minor frictions" in Diagon Alley before, the other party was a professor after all.

Besides, in a school, all the professors combined only have a few pairs of eyes.

Now on this train, I am afraid I have become the focus among the students.

This is extremely bad news for completing the tasks of the dog system or doing what you want to do.

Just as Carl was racking his brains over what to do next, the door of the carriage was knocked again.

He didn't immediately stand up to open the door for the other person. After all, he didn't want to attract attention.

But the person knocking on the door seemed very patient, and kept knocking on the carriage door politely but continuously.

He had no choice but to get up and open the door. When the door of the carriage opened, both people inside and outside the door were startled at the same time.

"Damn, there is a man who is more handsome than me." This is Carl's psychological activity.

"Merlin's skirt, did I see an angel?" This was the young man's psychological activity outside the door.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Although he was shocked, the man reacted very quickly, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.

He directly held Carl's right hand and said.

"Hello, I'm Cedric Diggory, a third year Hufflepuff student."

"Just now a little girl said that you might not be used to being in a crowded environment, so I was a little worried and wanted to come over to check."

Carl was also stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was the "Hogwarts version of other people's children."

Cedric, who has gained great popularity despite only appearing in one movie, quickly turned sideways and extended a hand.

"Please come in, senior. Thank you for your concern."

As soon as the two sat down, Cedric started talking non-stop. He was indeed a true Hufflepuff, kind and enthusiastic.

He did not dwell on Carl's special age, but instead thought that he was born into a Muggle family.

There are many things you need to know about Hogwarts that new students should know.

He kept talking, and Carl, in order to maintain his character of having communication difficulties, just sat there and listened quietly.

"Don't be too nervous. The classmates in school are all very nice people, especially the professors."

Seeing that Karl didn’t say a word, Cedric really thought that the other party was unwilling to talk because of his inner loneliness.

Especially when he saw the two medical certificates on the table, he became even more enthusiastic.

I began to talk about the four major colleges of Hogwarts and the characteristics of each dean.

"Although Professor McGonagall usually appears very strict, as long as you attend class seriously and abide by the rules, she is still a very easy person to talk to."

"And you don't have to worry. Most of the time, her energy and anger are basically vented on Gryffindor."

"Professor Flitwick's personality is even more interesting. In short, he is very eccentric. Oh, and he has goblin blood, so don't discuss his height."

"As for Professor Sprout of my college, she is a very gentle lady, as long as you don't touch the plants in the greenhouse."

"As for Slytherin and Professor Snape, well..."

When talking about Professor Snape, even this extremely enthusiastic boy was speechless for a moment.

"Or, let's skip this step first."

Seeing that the other party really couldn't think of any adjectives, Karl didn't want the other party to feel uncomfortable, so he quickly opened his mouth and gestured to skip it.

But his action obviously made the other 'Snape' very dissatisfied.

"Caw!" Two cries of ravens came from Carl's pocket, followed by a black shadow flashing by. It was a raven with a pitch-black body.

Flying to the table between the two of them, Snape first glanced at Cedric, then strode in front of him.

With its hard beak, it pecked the other's finger hard.

"Are you okay?" Carl asked nervously, looking at Snape and speaking in a bad tone.

"You are such a rude and stinking crow."

But unexpectedly, this guy cried out in dissatisfaction, then walked into the iron cage beside him with his two pitch-black wings on his back.

Then he squatted there without moving, with only his back facing the two men.

Witnessing this scene, Carl's face twitched wildly, but Cedric, who was standing next to him, said with shining eyes.

"How cool." He pointed at the raven and said with emotion, "This bird looks exactly like Professor Snape."

Hearing this, Karl wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know how to start.

Cedric, however, seemed to have found a topic to talk about. He excitedly grabbed Carl's hand and spoke seriously with shining eyes.

"So you don't have to worry about not being able to make friends. Just with this bird, I think you'll have a lot of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff classmates."

"I'm willing to be your friend. Besides, you're already a celebrity among the freshmen, so don't worry."

Hearing the other party say "don't worry" twice in a row, Carl felt as if he was stabbed with a knife in the heart.

He really wanted to stand up and roar; this was what he was worried about.

But now, he could only look at Cedric awkwardly, pointing at the raven in the cage, and said helplessly.

"Actually, this is a gift from Professor Snape, and its name is Severus Snape."

"What!!"

"Wow!! So cool!!"
