Chapter 81: [ Chapter LXXXI (81): "HANNAH ABBOTT" ]
Chapter 81: Hannah Abbott
.....
Time flies, and it is September 1st.
Early in the morning, Swan Manor became a mess.
"Harry! Have you brought 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 brought 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 teeth."
"Listen to him talking nonsense!"
Mia turned her head and glared at the cheerful Sebastian, then said to Harry gently: "Don't worry, a bottle of tooth-health potion can take care of it."
"What about clothes? Have you brought all the school uniforms and daily casual clothes?"
"I have brought enough, Aunt Mia, no need to put more in the box, there are too many clothes, I can't wear them all."
Harry was a little helpless, he felt that Aunt Mia was a little too exaggerated.
Fortunately, this is the wizarding world, and a box with a traceless extension spell can handle everything.
If this happened in the Muggle world, I'm afraid it would take a moving company to handle it.
He looked up at Sebastian standing at the door, and sent a look for help.
Sebastian!
You should persuade Aunt Mia!
Sebastian shrugged innocently at Harry, and he spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.
Harry,
there is a kind of love called Mia thinks your suitcase can still fit!
Just enjoy it.
After all the items were 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 to cross a black lake."
"At that time, the water monster in the black lake will come to attack you."
Seeing Harry's eyes wide open and an unbelievable look, Sebastian grinned.
"Don't worry, it's 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 is so nice. He told me such important information in advance so that I can be prepared.
Otherwise, when I was attacked, I don't know how bad my performance would be.
Harry clenched the wand in his hand and made up his mind to perform well.
Sebastian looked up at the rearview mirror and happened to see Mia looking at him in the mirror with a reproachful look.
For a moment, there was an unspeakable tacit understanding between the two.
Just after half past ten, Sebastian and his party arrived at King's Cross Station.
On the platform nine and three-quarters, an old red steam train was quietly parked there, with a low roar coming from its steam engine and white smoke rising slowly from the chimney, filling the air.
A glittering golden sign was hung on the body of the train: Hogwarts Express.
The parents of the little wizards on the platform helped their children to tidy up their robes from time to time, with pride and reluctance on their faces.
Most of the new students were holding wands and jumping on the platform. They held their parents' hands and couldn't wait to get on the train to the magical world.
The senior students greeted each other and enthusiastically discussed what they had seen and heard during the summer vacation. Some of them were already impatient to get into the carriage, looking for their friends.
Harry looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. It turned out that this was the platform nine and three-quarters!
Just separated by a wall, the scene here was completely different.
He was filled with irrepressible excitement and anticipation.
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, smiling and greeting the passing wizards. 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 beautiful. That's it, see you tonight..."
...
In order to welcome the arrival of the new semester, the hall of Hogwarts has become magnificent again.
Sebastian sat in the professor's chair, looking at Lockhart sitting next to him with disgust.
After Lockhart led Swan Media to trample the Daily Prophet underfoot, Sebastian fulfilled his promise.
He suggested to Dumbledore to add a short-term writing course and recommended Lockhart to be the professor of this course.
Now, Lockhart, who got what he wanted, was completely proud. He wore the most gorgeous clothes, showed the most standard smile, and signed autographs for the little wizards one after another.
"Oh my God, Lockhart looks even more handsome in person than on magic TV. His acting is also superb. I like him very much!"
"Yes, yes! I also love watching the TV series starring him. I watched the TV series he starred in three times this summer."
"He is really amazing. He is a screenwriter, director, and star. Do you know how hard Lockhart works?!"
"What do you think, how much is Lockhart's autograph worth? Should I ask him to sign a few more times, so that I can make a small fortune!"
Listening to the chattering discussions 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 hall, 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 give you a good look.
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 come to my office to find me at any time."
The students slowly dispersed and returned to their seats in twos and threes.
The door of the auditorium 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, and then solemnly took out the Sorting Hat and placed it on the stool.
"The Sorting Ceremony will begin now!"
"Students whose names are called, please come forward and put on the Sorting Hat for sorting."
Sebastian watched the Sorting Ceremony in front of him with 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...
