After the train arrived at the station, other than the first-year students who needed to take a small wooden boat to cross the black lake, all senior year students had thestral carriage.
[*TL Note: The Thestral was a breed of winged horse with a skeletal body, face with reptilian features, and wide, leathery wings that resemble a bat’s. Usually, thestral couldn’t be seen with naked eyes. Only people who have seen death could see thestral.]
This year, the one who came to welcome the new students was Giant Hagrid, who was holding an oil lamp and constantly calling for the first-year students to gather over.
Coven bent over and raised his hand to stroke Spelite’s head. After comforting her for a while, he successfully persuaded the little loli to gather at Hagrid’s side alone.
When Spelite successfully arrived at Hagrid’s side, Coven waved at the little loli who kept looking back. Then, he got into a ‘thestral carriage’ with Cho Chang and Penelope.
All the way into House’s castle, all the senior students were waiting in the hall, waiting for Sorting Ceremony and the opening banquet every year.
The twins invited coven to sit beside them. Then, he began to look around and soon found his target.
“What’s the matter, Coven?” Separated by the four students, Wood noticed Coven’s gaze, so he asked with a smile, “Did you not read the newspaper again this year?”
“I did. Professor Cooper Lance had an accident when riding a flying broom during the holidays and passed away.”
As Coven spoke, he continuously slandered them in his heart, secretly thinking that these wizards were too stubborn, actually riding a flying broom to compete with the plane.
It was one thing for him to be caught in the aircraft turbine, but he even implicated the plane and caused an accident.
Fortunately, the accident happened in the nearby sea, and the rescue was timely, so there were no other casualties.
At this time, after listening to Coven’s words, Wood, as a small fan, could not help but be depressed. He sighed and said, “Yes, Professor Lance is really a pity.”
After saying that, Wood asked again, “Then what else do you want to ask?”
“No, but help me call Tabor.”
Wood naturally would not refuse. He turned to greet Tabor, who was separated from him by three people, and then pointed to Coven.
Tabor leaned forward and looked at Coven through several people in the distance. When he found that Coven was waving at him, he immediately stood up with a happy expression.
Walking quickly behind Coven, Tabor raised his hand and patted Coven on the shoulder. He said affectionately, “Hey, Coven, thank you for the gold you left for our family! My father used that money to change our family’s house into a big house!”
When he went to the United States to exchange for gold, as an American, Tabor helped Coven a lot. Coven naturally would not let the other party work for free, so he left nearly 500,000 dollars of gold.
After hearing Tabor’s thanks, Coven smiled and said, “I still have to thank you. You helped me a lot in America. By the way, did you get the thing?”
“Of course I got it! Wait a minute!” After saying that, Tabor quickly ran back to his seat and bent down to take out two gift boxes from the small bag beside his feet.
Running back to Coven, Tabor handed the gift box to Coven. “Here, to be honest, these two things are tough to get. Dad got them from a fairy black market.”
“Thank you so much.” Coven happily took the two gift boxes.
After chatting for a bit more, Tabor returned to his seat.
At this time, the two twins, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Coven in the middle, asked curiously.
George: “What is inside the gift box?”
Fred: “American goods? Can you open it for us to see?”
Coven did not agree. He put the gift box into his pocket and said with a smile, “Sorry to disappoint you. This is a gift for Spelite.”
Hearing this, the twins immediately lost interest.
After about ten minutes, Dumbledore knocked on the crystal glass with a spoon in his hand. Under the effect of the Sound Amplifying Curse, the sound of clinking resounded through the entire auditorium, causing it to quiet down gradually.
“Students, keep quiet! Get ready to start Sorting Ceremony.” Dumbledore said slowly.
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look towards the closed door of the auditorium.
Soon, the door opened, and Professor McGonagall led a group of first-year students into the auditorium, stopping all the way to the stage.
Arrange the new students to line up, and then Dumbledore will tell the school rules as usual.
However, when it came to ‘prohibiting students from entering the forbidden forest’, Dumbledore glanced at Coven and the other two.
When it came to the fact that the corridor on the right side of the third floor was a forbidden area this year, Dumbledore glanced at the three of them again.
When the twins saw this, they all bent down and looked down at each other, laughing.
Fred whispered, “Is this a reminder?”
George also giggled and whispered, “It must be a deliberate reminder!”
Fred: “Find a time to take a look?”
George: “Take the map and go take a look!”
When Coven heard this, he was just about to ask what the map was, but because he triggered the ‘keyword’, his memory emerged, and he suddenly realized that it was the ‘map of the place’.
It seemed that the twins had gotten the Marauder’s Map last year, but because he was not very keen on exploring, the twins did not tell him.
However, Coven frowned slightly because the twins said that Dumbledore was reminding them to deliberately go to the forbidden area.
In this regard, Coven remembered his transmigration.
When the twins said this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that… his father was reminding and tempting him?
The more the parents emphasized not allowing the child to do anything, the more the child wanted to do something.
Coven was considered very mature and did not have any rebellious mentality. However, if not for the fact that his father had specifically told him not to touch Rubik’s Cube, he might not have been able to arouse his curiosity back then.
Moreover, at that time, he had clearly pinched Rubik’s Cube very carefully. If not for his father’s sudden shout, he wouldn’t have…
The more he thought about it, the more Coven felt that something was wrong.
However, Professor McGonagall’s voice interrupted Coven’s thoughts…. On the other side, Sorting Ceremony began.
Temporarily suppressing his doubts, Coven looked over at the stage.
He saw Professor McGonagall open the roster scroll in her hand. After looking at the scroll, she looked up at the freshmen and shouted, “Hannah Iron Lady Abbot!”
Among the new students, a little girl with two golden braids hurried forward and sat down on a chair on the podium.
Not long after Sorting Hat was pinned on Hanna’s head, he announced loudly, “Hufflepuff -“
A round of applause rang out, and Hannah looked delighted. She walked down the stage and went to the long table of Hufflepuff.
The next few freshmen should all belong to different houses, and there was no information about them in Coven’s memory.
At this time, Professor McGonagall called again, “Spelite Ollivander!”
The little loli walked out of the crowd with a cold expression and sat on the chair under everyone’s stunned gaze.
Sorting Hat landed on the top of Spelite’s head. This time, he didn’t give the results of the House soon.
Looking at how Sorting Hat was twisting and turning, it was obvious that he was communicating with Spelite. Coven was very experienced with this.
After a while, Sorting Hat announced loudly, “Ravenclaw -“
In the applause, Coven breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly…
