Chapter 287: Chatting and seeking help on the train

It seemed that Yang Tian's words had worked, or that everyone had noticed the impoliteness of rushing in. The scene gradually quieted down, and the little wizards were also bidding their final farewells to their families...

Just at this time, Neville, Hannah and other friends came over.

"Wow, I finally found you." Neville said first.

"Yes, let's get on the bus first. Look at the scene. If we are a little later, I doubt whether we can get a seat." Yang Tian said with a smile.

"Don't worry, come with me, everything is the best arrangement." Draco, who was walking at the end, said with a smile.

Yang Tian's heart moved, and he quickly followed his friends...

Sure enough! The Malfoys used their damn privileges again! The school director's compartment is open again! Regarding this absolute unfairness, Yang Tian has always been critical and appreciative, enjoying it... well, who makes me one of the beneficiaries?

After saying goodbye to all the parents, Yang Tian and everyone else boarded the school board car for the second time.

"Wow, does anyone know what's going on? Are there so many new students this year?" Parvati asked first after everyone had put their luggage in the carriage.

"Haha, you didn't know that? The number of freshmen this year is twice that of last year!" Draco said while pouring drinks for everyone, "What's more amazing is that the number of transfer students coming to our school this year is also terrifyingly large, and it seems that they have accounted for one-third of our total number of students!"

"Are you kidding me? Does Dumbledore really not care about the quality of students and is blindly expanding?" Hermione jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She didn't want to go to class with a bunch of lazy people.

"Don't talk nonsense. The number of these transfer students is the result of strict screening. Only those transfer students whose scores are at least higher than the average score of the grade in Hogwarts are eligible to transfer here. It's just that the students applying for transfer come from all over the world, which leads to too large a base number." Draco's face was filled with pride, and he felt like he was giving orders:

"And I also heard that those young wizards who were not selected did not get discouraged. Instead, they planned to go home and prepare for the exam with all their strength, and strive to participate in the competition again next year."

"Compared to the transfer students, I am more curious about the new students who have just enrolled. If we, Hogwarts, don't control it, will other magic schools still be able to recruit students?" Elena asked doubtfully.

"How can there be no restrictions? You must have heard of the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance, right?" Draco explained in a serious tone, "Because they only record those wizards born in Britain and Ireland. So there is an extremely serious problem: those children who have magical fluctuations but are not born within the range are actually not qualified to study in Hogwarts at all."

"I know this, but there is still a way." Penelope said immediately: "Just like you, Draco, didn't you always ask to go to Durmstrang before?"

"That's right." Draco didn't dwell on this issue too much, but explained: "Because of this, whether it is a transfer student or a freshman who has not been recorded, they must go through a special ceremony to get the opportunity to study in Hogwarts."

Seeing that no one objected, Draco continued, "For freshmen, the first year is just a probationary stage. Only after they pass the probation will they be eligible to participate in the ceremony. Otherwise, they will be expelled from school..."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. This was the first time they had heard of such an outrageous condition.

"Even with such stringent conditions, there are still three times as many new students?" George felt that he must have heard wrong.

"There's nothing surprising about it. These little guys must be the local magic geniuses. People like them think that they are the most amazing people in the world. So, expulsion has nothing to do with them." Fred joked with a smile.

The other friends also started to chuckle when they heard this.

However, Yang Tian was not as optimistic as they were. He said worriedly, "Isn't this a bit too aggressive? If it is not handled properly, I am afraid the reputation of the school will be affected."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems at all." The person who spoke was actually Angelina. She looked at Yang Tian with a puzzled look on her face and said, "Although I don't know what happened specifically, when I was communicating with Professor McGonagall during the holidays, she told me that as long as you can maintain the same academic output as last year, then all the school policies will be stable."

Hearing this, Yang Tian was helpless: "Is this related to me?"

"Of course this has something to do with you!" Angelina laughed, "Otherwise, why do you think so many people were staring at you on the platform?"

Yang Tian suddenly felt a great deal of pressure! He smiled bitterly and said, "The professor really trusts me. Hasn't she ever considered what would happen if I didn't make any academic achievements this year?"

When the friends heard this, they showed disdain. Elena even directly refuted: "Who would believe you if you said that? Anyway, we all don't believe it."

Well, Yang Tian can only ask the heavens speechlessly...

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, so happy...

But in the afternoon, the carriage door suddenly flashed red. The friends were startled and looked at Draco.

Draco quickly opened the door of the carriage, only to see a conductor waiting at the door with Ginny, who was crying her heart out.

"What's wrong, sister?" Fred rushed to the door and asked, "Did someone bully you?"

Ginny sobbed and said, "I kept looking for Ron and Harry after I got on the bus, but I couldn't find them from the front to the back of the bus. I doubt they got on the bus."

"What?" George was startled and subconsciously looked at Yang Tian. He didn't know when these new members started to get used to listening to Yang Tian's opinions.

Seeing this, Yang Tian had no choice but to step forward and ask, "Are you sure you have searched every carriage?"

"Yes, I'm very sure." Ginny said worriedly, "I can guarantee that they are not on this train!"

"This is actually simpler. You don't have to worry, Ginny. There were probably too many people at the station today and they accidentally got separated." Yang Tianbian said as he picked up a drink and handed it to Ginny: "When Mrs. Weasley leaves the station, they may run into them. Even if they don't run into them, it will be easy for the two of them to contact Mrs. Weasley. For the little wizards who are late, the school has plenty of ways to take them back to Hogwarts."

Hearing this, Ginny calmed down a little, but still asked worriedly, "Really? Are you sure they'll be okay?"

Yang Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, don't worry, you are too nervous."

Listening to Yang Tian's comforting words and seeing everyone's relaxed expressions, Ginny finally felt relieved. During the rest of the trip, everyone was chatting happily. Ginny also gradually discovered that these brothers and sisters were really nice...
