The badgers were the most honest. Only one boy in the whole college was found to have a black magic item.

It was an amulet given by his girlfriend in France. When he heard that it was attached with black magic, the boy’s face turned green.

It was the first time that he thought Snape with a cold face was so cute!

“What happened this year? Why did a professor come to the platform to check?”Ron scratched his head.

He looked at Percy, who also had a blank look on his face. It was obvious that this prefect had not received any prior notice.

“Because during the holidays, I encountered a nasty thing.”Harry said lightly

“Hey, Harry, you know what?” Ron’s eyes lit up and his ears stood up.

“Is it the house-elf?” Hermione guessed it right away.

Harry had written to her about this matter, and although Harry did not tell Hermione what Dumbledore asked about it later, the clever Miss Granger still guessed it right away.

“Hermione, you know this too? Ron was shocked.

What the hell? Why did both of my friends know this, but I was the only one who was dumbfounded?

03

You guys are all ostracizing me, right?

Ron felt a little aggrieved.

“Didn’t I tell you that too?”Harry frowned and said.

Hermione could think of it immediately, so why can’t you?

“Tell me what?” Ron’s eyes were full of clarity.

“Forget it, I’ll tell you after the dinner.” Harry shook his head. Now was obviously not the time to discuss it.

“”Oh.” Ron pouted, feeling a little depressed. He felt despised, but he had no evidence.

The first-year wizards seemed very terrified. It was their first time at Hogwarts, and they encountered such a big scene, which made them feel overwhelmed.

Harry turned around to look at them.

Ginny was inside, and although she was also nervous, she seemed calmer than other students.

“Ginny is pretty brave too, I think she’ll be in Gryffindor too.” Harry said casually

“Of course, every Weasley will be in Gryffindor!” Ron said proudly.

It seemed that being able to enter Gryffindor was the greatest affirmation for them.

“”Does Ginny know about the entrance ceremony?” Hermione asked

“I don’t know, George and Fred scared her a lot during the summer vacation.”Ron showed a mysterious smile.

“You also exaggerated it?” Harry saw his smile and knew that this brother must have also tricked his sister.

“”Ahem, how can you say I’m exaggerating? I was just describing the atmosphere before our sorting.” Ron waved his hand quickly.

Hermione snorted.

“Then your sister must be very nervous now, thinking that this is also a part of admission.”Hermione said unhappily.

Harry did not say anything. Anyway, it was just a harmless joke. Even the elders of pure-blood families have never told their children how the sorting ceremony will be conducted.

This is also a tradition of Hogwarts.

After all, adhering to the idea that I have been fooled once, so if I am not fooled next time, then I will not suffer a loss, this tradition has been perfectly inherited.

However, as Dobby said, how to implement Lucius’s conspiracy?

Harry paid more attention to this issue.

As Professor McGonagall and Snape passed by Ginny and nothing unusual happened, Harry retracted his gaze.

With Professor McGonagall and Snape, the two professors that students fear the most, checking, no student dared to delay and resist.

The whole student team was quiet, which made Lockhart’s chattering voice and the girls who listened next to him, from time to time, exclaimed”Oh, wow, great”, particularly conspicuous.

“It seems that our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is very popular among students.”Snape appeared beside Lockhart at some point and spoke in a strange, hollow voice, with a nasal tone on the”Defense Against the Dark Arts”.

He glanced at the girls around him and said nothing, but the coldness emanating from him made people shiver.

The girls surrounding Lockhart lowered their heads and backed away.

“Now! Professor McGonagall and I have finished our inspection. Everyone, return to the castle immediately!”Snape said to all the students.

The students slowly went to the castle in their own way.

“Severus……”Lockhart kept a perfect smile and said to Snape.

Snape glanced at him coldly:”I think our relationship is not close enough for you to call me by my name!”

Lockhart’s face froze, but he was not embarrassed at all, and said directly:”Well, Professor Snape, we should be gentler to girls.”

Snape said coldly:”Of course, but for an adult wizard, I don’t think I need to be tolerant.”

Professor McGonagall also said:”Professor Lockhart, we have to go back to Hogwarts to handle the sorting ceremony. We don’t have time to wait for you to discuss unimportant things with those little witches and show your charm.” While Professor McGonagall was speaking, Lockhart didn’t dare to speak again.

The three professors left in a hurry with a bunch of black magic items.

“Compared to Lockhart, I don’t think Professor Snape is that annoying.” Ron said as he watched them leave.

“Professor Lockhart is okay, I wonder if those spells he just said are real or fake.”Hermione said while biting her lip.

Harry glanced at her and found that Hermione was a little moved, and even her eyes were shining.

900 He reminded her,”Professor Flitwick told me that when Lockhart was in school, he had created these beauty spells by himself, but unfortunately, all of them failed, making him a joke in school.”

After hearing this, Hermione regained her composure instantly.

The three followed the crowd and walked onto a dirt path, while Hagrid led the first-year wizards to the path.

At the end of the dirt path was a row of unmanned carriages.

“Are we going to the castle in a carriage this year? I’ve ridden a horse, but never in a carriage.” Hermione showed a surprised expression. Ron had already climbed up and said,”George told me that this is pulled by an invisible horse. Although I think he is lying to me and there is no such magical animal, if you touch it with your hand, you can really feel something pulling the carriage.”

Hearing this, Hermione tentatively reached out to touch the front of the carriage, and she really felt something.

“It’s the Thestrals.”Harry said

“Harry, can you see it?” Ron looked at him in surprise.

“Thestrals? Isn’t that a magical animal that can only be seen by people who have seen real death?”Hermione was knowledgeable and knew the magical power of this animal after hearing what Harry said.

“Harry, it’s because of that……”Ron whispered, and Hermione looked at Harry, and they both felt sad for Harry.
