Chapter 256 Back to School

Annual school day.

But the weather is terrible now - when Ryan woke up, he saw the pouring rain slapped against the window.

After breakfast, Mr. Weasley decided to drive everyone to King's Cross in London, Bill and Charlie decided to drop off at King's Cross together. Percy was going, but there was a more serious incident in Plymouth, and he had to eat two bites of bread and put on his coat and left.

Percy's job is good in everything, but there are too many emergencies like this. Mrs. Weasley said with some distress after watching Percy's apparition and disappearing into the rain.

It's all about doing business. When I first joined the Ministry of Magic, I worked overtime every three days or two. Mr. Weasley stepped forward and hugged Molly and comforted him.

Yeah, how capable you were at that time. Molly began to recall the past, and then quickly reacted. The kids are all here, I'm going to clean up the house.

Everyone here felt like they were stuffed with dog food. After dinner, everyone drove to London in the old car. It's a pity that the weather in London is just as bad. When I got off the train at King's Cross Station, it was raining even harder than before, and I couldn't even see the scene outside the window. After opening the door, raindrops poured down on them. They were soaking wet as they walked through the busy streets and into the station with their suitcases.

The weather was bad today, and after entering platform nine and three-quarters, many Hogwarts students and parents on the platform could be seen as dark ghosts under the thick smoke from the front of the train.

After finding one to put his luggage in, Lane ran to the platform to say goodbye to Mrs Weasley, Bill and Charlie. As Charlie hugs Ginny to say goodbye to her, the news is that he's likely to see everyone at school again soon this year. Later, when questioned by the twins, he revealed that there might be some major event at Hogwarts this year. It's a pity that she blew the whistle before she finished speaking, and everyone had to get on the bus quickly.

Thank you for staying with us, Mrs Weasley, said Hermione. By this time they had boarded the train, the doors were closed, and she leaned out of the window to speak to Mrs. Weasley.

Indeed this summer will be a very fond memory of my student days, Mrs Weasley, Lane said.

After saying thanks and using magic to dry the clothes. Ryan sat in his seat and began to recall something: Moody was not attacked this morning, that means things have changed. But Pertha's disappearance shows that Voldemort's return has become a reality. But how will Voldemort be resurrected this time? What? After losing the Prophet advantage, Ryan felt that the future seemed to be hidden in a fog.

Then Harry came to the car, and told about the nightmare he had about Voldemort during the summer vacation. Ron and Hermione just thought Harry might be too nervous, and only Ryan knew it meant the countdown to Voldemort's return. But he didn't talk about it, because now the plot has changed. Saying this without knowing where the enemy is lurking has no effect other than being treated like a lunatic.

The journey was very uneventful, only Malfoy came in and provoked a wave. This made Ryan doubt the pure-blood family's tutoring once again. Malfoy's words were hurtful though, and Ron was still sullen when the train arrived at Hogsmeade Station.

The weather outside was the same as Ron's mood: even if they took a half-day train from the south of England to the north of England, the weather still didn't get better, or even worse. It rained hard and fast, like buckets of cold water pouring over their heads.

At this time, Ryan took the owl cage from Hermione's hand and added a waterproof spell to the surrounding friends.

After that, he stepped on the puddles of water and stepped into the carriage.

God, it's a little boat ride across the lake in this weather. If there's no magic, it's probably going to be very dangerous. After getting in the car, Hermione watched Hagrid and the first-year freshman walking towards the lake through the window. sighed.

There is magic and it is dangerous. I remember that I once overturned the boat in this weather. Fortunately, the squid in the lake rescued everyone in time. Ron adjusted his mood a little at this time, so he gave the three on the carriage that there was no magic. The world-born explained it.

When the castle entered the foyer, Peeves started throwing balloons filled with water. Fortunately, Ryan was ready to help himself and Hermione block all the water droplets. Unfortunately, Harry just happened to be hit by a water ball on the head, so that when he walked into the restaurant, his hair was still dripping.

As we all know, Peeves represents the spirit of the suppressed emotions of all the children in this school, similar to the Dementors. Therefore, unlike other ghosts, he can pick up various objects but can also be attacked by various objects.

However, because Peeves' qualifications are too old, even if Dumbledore was a student, Peeves was already here, so the teachers only limited the management of Peeves so that he would not go too far. Of course, there is also the reason why Peeves is directly bound to Hogwarts Castle. As long as the castle exists, Peeves will always exist.

But the most important piece of information about Peeves, as far as Lane knows, is about his unsuccessful expulsion in 1876 from Hogwarts, A History of the School. The stewards at the time used machetes, crossbows, pistols and a cannon at Hogwarts. He fails, though, and Peeves even shoots the windows at random after escaping the trap, putting everyone's lives in danger and the castle is evacuated. Until then headmistress Euplasia Moore relented.

You must know that in 1876, guns had entered the era of metal cartridge loading. After reading this record in the book at that time, Ryan confirmed two points: First, Hogwarts could not use electronic products because of powerful magic radiation. , similar to electromagnetic pulse bombs that cause severe interference to all electronic products. Instead of the anti-Muggle items or anti-tech spells that some fans in the previous life said were imposed from the level of world rules.

Second, judging from the description in the book that Peeves shot and put everyone's lives in danger. Muggle weapons do pose enough of a threat to wizards, at least little wizards. This conclusion prompted Ryan to nuke the group of dark wizards in the pyramid with the Fat Man. However, the dark wizards who survived the explosion in the pyramid at that time also proved that Muggle weapons were almost zero threat to some powerful wizards, which also dispelled Ryan's plan to use the fat man nuclear bomb to give Voldemort a shot.

After everyone entered the auditorium, the seniors dried their clothes and began to help the lower grades organize their clothes. After all, today is the opening ceremony of the school, so being sloppy is definitely inappropriate.

After finishing the clothes, everyone started talking. Colin Creevey told Lane that his brother was also enrolled this year. Ryan deeply suspects that their parents are probably not Muggles but Squibs, because for a Muggle wizard, the probability of both brothers becoming wizards is too small.

A man with a fake scar was sitting on the rostrum in the seat of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and many people also noticed this. Ron looked at it and said in a low voice, God, Mad-Eye Moody. Is he the teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts this year?

Mad-Eye Moody? Who is this? Harry asked curiously on the side.

A retired top Auror. Ron explained to the people around him: My dad admires him very much, but it's no wonder that half of the cells in Azkaban are filled by him. It's just that Because of this, he also had many enemies, which made him slowly become a little neurotic. After one time someone tried to shake his hand, but he mistook him for an attack and wounded the other party, he retired. I didn't expect Dumbledore He's going to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year.

Patients with PTSD, Lane concluded.

P—what's that? Now it was Ron's turn to figure it out.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is often found in people who have been through war. They become irritable, hypervigilant, amnesiac and frightened because of past experiences. One of my parents' Iraqi patient was like that. Min explained on the side.

Indeed, that's what Moody is like. After listening to Hermione's account, Ron expressed his absolute agreement with her.

They had just finished discussing the topic when the door of the auditorium opened. This also represents the official start of the school opening ceremony.
