Chapter 81: Hannah Abbott

Time flies and it is September 1st.

Early in the morning, Swann's estate was in chaos.

"Harry! Have you got everything?"

Mia really didn't want Harry to leave.

She didn't know how to express her reluctance, so she could only check Harry's luggage over and over again, fearing that he had forgotten something.

"I have everything, Aunt Mia. We packed it together last night."

"Why did you only bring so few snacks? Go get some more candy, biscuits, and Coke."

"No, no, Sebastian told me that eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth."

"Listen to him talking nonsense!"

Mia turned her head and glared at the cheerful Sebastian, then said gently to Harry: "Don't worry, a bottle of tooth-health potion will solve it."

"Where are your clothes? Have you brought your school uniform and your everyday casual clothes?"

"I've brought enough, Aunt Mia. No need to put more in the suitcase. There are too many clothes for me to wear."

Harry felt helpless. He felt that Aunt Mia was exaggerating a bit.

Fortunately, this is the wizarding world, and a box cast with a traceless stretch spell can solve everything.

If this scene happened in the Muggle world, I'm afraid we would have to hire a moving company to deal with it.

He looked up at Sebastian who was standing at the door and gave him a look for help.

Sebastian!

Why don’t you try to persuade Aunt Mia?

Sebastian shrugged innocently at Harry and spread his hands to show that there was nothing he could do.

Harry,

There is a kind of love called Mia who thinks there is still room in your suitcase!

Just enjoy it.

After everything was packed, Sebastian drove a Muggle car and took Mia and Harry to King's Cross Station.

On the way, Harry asked excitedly, "Aunt Mia, you told me that there are four colleges in Hogwarts. Which one should I go to?"

"Ahem," Sebastian coughed quickly and said mysteriously, "Harry, you will take a boat across a black lake."

"Then the monster in the Black Lake will come and attack you."

Seeing Harry's eyes widen in disbelief, Sebastian grinned.

"Don't worry, this is just a test. It won't really hurt you."

"Your performance in the test will directly determine which college you will be assigned to."

Oh!

So that’s it!

Sebastian was so nice. He told me such important information in advance so that I could be prepared.

Otherwise, when the attack comes, I don’t know how badly my performance will be.

Harry squeezed his wand, determined to perform well.

Sebastian looked up at the rearview mirror and just happened to see Mia giving him a reproachful look in the mirror.

For a moment, an unspeakable tacit understanding spread between the two of them.

Just at half past ten, Sebastian and his party arrived at King's Cross Station.

On Platform Nine and Three Quarters, an old red steam train was parked there quietly. A low roar came from its steam engine, and white smoke slowly rose from the chimney, filling the air.

There was a glittering golden sign hanging on the body of the car: Hogwarts Express.

The parents of the little wizards on the platform helped their children tidy up their robes from time to time, their faces revealing their pride and reluctance.

Most of the new students were jumping on the platform, holding their wands, holding their parents' hands, and couldn't wait to board the train to the magical world.

Senior students were greeting each other and enthusiastically discussing what they had seen and heard during the summer vacation. Some of them were already eager to get into the carriage to look for their friends.

Harry looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. It turned out that this was Platform Nine and Three Quarters!

Just separated by a wall, the scene here has completely changed.

An irrepressible excitement and anticipation surged in his heart.

I wonder how fast this train is. Is it as fast as the Knight Bus?

I wonder if I can make new friends on the train?

He followed Mia's footsteps and slowly walked to the end of the train. After finding an empty carriage, he got on the train and opened the window to talk to Mia.

Sebastian stood aside, watching the two talking and greeting the little wizards passing by with a smile.

It was not until the train whistle sounded that he walked forward, put his arm around Mia's shoulders, and waved goodbye to Harry.

"Harry, don't just sleep on the road. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. That's it, see you in the evening..."

......

To welcome the new semester, the Hogwarts Great Hall once again became magnificent.

Sebastian sat in the professor's chair, looking at Lockhart sitting next to him with disdain.

After Lockhart led Swan Media to crush the Daily Prophet underfoot, Sebastian fulfilled his promise.

He suggested to Dumbledore that a short writing course be added, and recommended Lockhart as the professor of the course.

Now, Lockhart, who had achieved what he wanted, was completely proud of himself. He wore the most gorgeous clothes, showed the most perfect smile, and signed autographs for the little wizards one after another.

"Oh my god, Lockhart looks even more handsome in person than on the magic TV. His acting is also great. I love him so much!"

"Yes, yes! I also love watching the TV series he starred in. I watched the TV series he starred in three times this summer."

"He's really amazing. He's not only the screenwriter, but also the director and the lead actor. Do you know how hard Lockhart works?!"

"What do you think Lockhart's autograph is worth? Should I ask him to sign a few more times? That way I can make a small fortune!"

Listening to the chattering of the little wizards, Sebastian's brain was about to explode.

At this moment, he deeply felt how Snape looked at him last year.

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was about to bring the first-year kids to the auditorium, Sebastian quickly poked Lockhart with his arm.

Hey hey!

Don't get carried away.

If Professor McGonagall sees you holding an autograph session here, she will definitely not look at you in a good light.

Lockhart understood Sebastian's signal immediately. He stood up and looked at the little guys in front of him.

"Thank you all for your love. Today's autograph session ends here. If you need any help, please feel free to visit me in my office."

The students slowly dispersed and returned to their seats in twos and threes.

The door of the Great Hall slowly opened, and Professor McGonagall walked in solemnly, followed by a line of nervous little kids.

She stopped in front of the professor's seat, motioned for the little wizards to line up, then solemnly took out the Sorting Hat and placed it on the stool.

"The Sorting Ceremony begins now!"

"Students whose names are called, please come forward and put on the Sorting Hat for sorting."

Sebastian watched the Sorting Ceremony with great interest, looking forward to the upcoming famous scene.

"Hannah Abbott!"

Hearing this familiar name, he leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

It's comfortable...
