They drove onto a main road in the downtown area and a viaduct in the middle of the mountains.
Then there's a cold, windy street between tall buildings, with a loud bang every time.
"I don't want to ride on that thing again," Ron muttered as he pulled himself up for the sixth time.
"Attention, the next stop is Hogwarts." Stan said cheerfully, walking over staggeringly, "The domineering woman behind gave you a little tip to let you go first, but we have to let Mrs. Marsh go first. Go down, she's not feeling well."
The cause of the discomfort was obvious from the sound of vomiting and a horrible clatter from below.
A few minutes later, the Knight bus screeched to a screeching halt outside a small bar, and the small shop dodged to avoid being hit.
They heard Stan help poor Mrs. Marsh out of the car, and the passengers on the second floor murmured with relief.
The car kept going, accelerating, until, boom, they were in the snow-covered village of Hogsmeade.
Ivan briefly introduced Hogsmeade to Elaine, and they saw the Three Broomsticks Tavern, a shop selling potion materials.
There is also the Pig's Head Bar in the alley, the signboard of the chopped pig's head creaked in the cold wind.
Flakes of snow hit the large front windows of the car, blurring the vision.
But Elaine still looked at the Honeydukes Candy Store relentlessly, and Ivan felt that she only remembered that place.
Finally, the car staggered to a stop outside the gate of Hogwarts.
Sirius, Lupine and Tonks helped them get their luggage out of the car, then came down to say good-bye.
On the three-story Knight bus, all the passengers put their noses to the windows and watched them.
"It's safe to enter the school." Tonks glanced warily at the quiet street, "Have a good time!"
"Remember to keep in touch!" Sirius said, shook hands with Ivan, and then walked to Harry's side, "Don't forget what I just said, Harry, listen to Ivan and Hermione's opinions during the study, Don't be impulsive, don't act alone. If Snape bullies you, remember to tell me!"
"I know!" Harry nodded, looking at Sirius.
He had a lot to say, but didn't know what to say, and he really wanted to stay with Sirius in Grimmauld Place.
"Harry, I know you don't like Snape, but he is a superb Occlumency Master." Lupine walked over and said, "Everyone of us, including Sirius, wants you to learn how to protect yourself, so study hard, okay?"
Sirius didn't speak, he turned his head, obviously unwilling to hear this sentence.
But whether he wanted to admit it or not, he did want Harry to learn Occlumency from Snape.
Therefore, this admonition can only be said by Lupine, and Sirius can't say it.
"Okay." Harry said heavily, looking up at Lupine's prematurely wrinkled face, then at Sirius who walked up to Fred and George, and waved vigorously, "Goodbye then." See you in summer vacation!"
Elaine was in awe as the eight men struggled to drag their boxes along the icy driveway to the castle.
Her small mouth can barely close, and she feels like her eyes are not enough. This is Hogwarts.
She had only heard it here before in stories, imagined Hogwarts countless times, and now it was here, the castle looked so charming.
This used to be the castle of the Slytherin family, in other words, it was Elaine's family's...
"Professor McGonagall said she wants you to go to her office to report." Hermione said, "Ivan and I can accompany you."
Under Dumbledore's arrangement, Elaine is in the same grade as Ivan, and can be with him during the daytime.
As for going back to the girls' dormitory at night, Hermione and Ginny will take care of it.
After Professor McGonagall met Elaine, she said some words of encouragement and reminded them to pay attention, and then she arranged a separate bedroom for Elaine. Considering Elaine's special situation, Hermione also moved out to live with her. Two people live in everything, very convenient...
After putting away the luggage, Ivan and Hermione began to lead Elaine around the castle.
They introduced her situation to everyone they met, and everyone was surprised that Elaine's identity was Beauxbaton's exchange student.
You know, Hogwarts has not been an exchange student for many years, especially such a beautiful girl.
After simply walking around the castle, Elaine gained a lot of popularity.
All Hogwarts students' impression of Beauxbatons is still last year. They know that there are many beautiful girls in Beauxbatons, who wear school uniforms made of blue silk. The boys in the upper grades all like Hibiscus, while the boys in the lower grades don't like her. They generally tend to Gabriel, but they never thought there would be a girl like Elaine around.
Sisters Elaine and Delacour have different styles, but are equally cute.
The delicate face like a porcelain doll, paired with rare wine red eyes, has a different kind of temptation.
Everyone is very interested in Elaine, especially during dinner, many students are looking at the Gryffindor table, they are excitedly discussing about Elaine, guessing her origin, daily life is too much Too monotonous, this is the best adjustment.
The news about Elaine seemed to have grown wings, and spread throughout the entire castle at the fastest speed.
Everyone knew that an exchange student had come to the school, and he had been by Ivan Hermione's side all the time.
Among them, the Slytherins were probably the most impressed, because Elaine was very curious about the Slytherin common room, and Ivan and Hermione led her to have a look. Originally, they just wanted to visit from a distance, but they I met a returning second-year student outside the door, and naturally followed him in.
You can imagine that scene, almost in a second, the Slytherins rushed out and surrounded them.
Shock, disbelief, doubt, curiosity, anger and other emotions were mixed on everyone's face, and they pointed their wands at Ivan, Hermione and Elaine.
That scene was like three adventurers being surrounded by a cannibal tribe.
Slytherin doesn't know what the three of them are doing, is it crazy that Gryffindor came to the Slytherin common room like this.
If eyes could kill, Ai Wen would have died many times already!
In this situation, there is naturally no way to continue to visit. Elaine, who has always wanted to come here, is also surprised at the unfriendliness of the Slytherins.
Seeing Elaine showing two canine teeth again, Aiwen hurriedly pulled her away. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, this guy would not be able to help attacking them.
The result of this incident was to let the Slytherins know that there was such a guy in the school at the first time.
Chapter 1034 No Comments
In short, all Hogwarts students knew of Elaine's existence as quickly as possible, and she gained a lot of popularity.
Almost everyone, including the Slytherins who are hostile to Gryffindor, has a crush on Elaine.
This is the advantage of being beautiful. Hogwarts does not have girls with Elaine's temperament, and being an exchange student also helps her a lot.
There are always people coming to say hello to Elaine, and there are many people that Ivan doesn't even know.
Elaine didn't expect to be so popular, but she wasn't good at dealing with it.
If someone mentioned Beauxbaton to her, she would have no idea what to say, because she had never been there.
She hides behind Alvin or Hermione most of the time, leaving a very timid, shy, and cute illusion, which seems very tempting.
If those guys who were deceived by her appearance knew Elaine's identity, they didn't know how they would feel.
Especially those boys who have ulterior motives and plan to ask Elaine out, I don't know if they are prepared to be bitten on the arteries.
"I don't like those people!" This is what Elaine said to the students who were watching her.
When she said this, she showed two pointed canine teeth again.
If Ivan hadn't stopped her, she would probably have directly used the usual method of vampires to treat those students!
Elaine also gave Umbridge the same evaluation.
They met Umbridge in Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next morning.
She was still the same as before, in a pink suit, with horrible toad eyes and an annoying smile on her lips.
"It really looks like a toad!" Elaine whispered to Ivan, sticking out her tongue.
"Be careful, she's looking at you!" Ivan said, noticing Umbridge's gaze.
After telling everyone to continue reading, Umbridge walked over to them.
She said nothing about Alvin's sudden disappearance before the Christmas holidays, as if it didn't exist.
She clearly took an interest in the newcomer Elaine and asked a lot of questions.
"I heard from the principal that there is an exchange student in the school, and it should be you." Umbridge said, maintaining a gentle smile, "My dear, I wonder if you can tell me why you suddenly applied to Huo Gwartz coming?"
"No!" Elaine replied in a slightly hoarse voice, without looking at her.
The professor suddenly became quiet, there was no sound at all, and everyone turned their heads to look at her in surprise.
Not since Umbridge had come to school had they seen a student talk to her like this.
"Sorry, dear, I didn't catch you!" said Umbridge in a cloyingly sweet voice.
"I said no!" Elaine said. "This is my private matter, and has nothing to do with the content of this class."
"I hope you understand that this is not a request, but an order!"
"That can't be done, even if it's an order, I refuse to carry it out!" Elaine said, "I don't need to tell you about my private affairs, and I don't want to talk to you, and besides coming to Hogwarts to study , you may also ask me about Beauxbaton, the situation in my house and some other questions, in order to avoid trouble, let me tell you in advance, all these have no comment, because you look really annoying, that's it, so Don't ask me any more!"
She looked at Umbridge provocatively, with that expression that said, come and bite me if you don't accept it.
Anyway, compared to biting, Elaine has never been afraid of anyone!
Ivan closed his eyes weakly, and he could imagine the scene at that time. In the classroom, Umbridge stood in front of Elaine, maintaining a stiff smile, and the others looked at them in surprise. an egg.
This guy Elaine really has no scruples, he just broke his face with Umbridge without giving him any face.
"Very well!" said Umbridge stiffly. "I'll speak to Dumbledore and the Headmaster of your school about this."
She looked at Elaine for a while, then turned directly back to the podium.
She didn't say anything until the end of that class, but just looked at Elaine and Ivan beside her viciously.
The relationship between Umbridge and Elaine was just like this, but she couldn't do anything to Elaine because she was not a student at Hogwarts.
All deductions, detentions and expulsions do not apply to her, and the only thing Umbridge can do is to advise the headmaster to terminate Elaine's exchange qualifications.
Or, write Beauxbatons a bad review about Elaine, but who cares?
Maybe someone would care, but certainly not Elaine.
The incident that happened in the fourth grade Defense Against the Dark Arts class spread throughout the castle immediately. Elaine suddenly became a hero in many people's hearts. She dared to confront the brutal and vicious Umbridge. Let her suffer.
This is a great feat that many students want to do but dare not do, and her popularity in the school has become even higher!
Some things are often like this. Elaine obviously doesn't want to attract attention, but she unknowingly becomes the center of Hogwarts discussion, the most popular focus person, and even replaces Harry and Ivan. The comments about her are all positive.
The story of her rejection of Umbridge became more and more outrageous, and eventually it was even said that Elaine beat Umbridge hard in class.
Of course, this was indeed her original idea, but instead of beating up, it was more straightforward to make Umbridge disappear.
Not just Umbridge, according to this guy's philosophy, most people in the castle should disappear.
Because she thinks they are very annoying, turning around her all day...
The road to nurturing Elaine is really a long way to go, and Aiwen feels that it is necessary to teach her to be low-key.
Elaine just looks timid, as if she is easy to bully, but in fact it is not the case at all.
Compared to Elaine, Harry was really a little scared. He was scared at night most of the time on Monday.
Potions class in the morning had done nothing to allay his fears, Snape was still as odious as ever.
And the way people looked at him when they knew he was going to Snape to take potions lessons at night...
Snape had never given a remedial lesson to any student. In the eyes of most people, this remedial lesson was more like a punishment.
But it was not without good news. That night, Ivan and the others learned about Harry and Qiu from Ron.
That's what happened when Harry and Ron went to Divination class, and they parted at the door of the Great Hall.
Hermione went to her arithmetic and divination, and Aiwen led Colin, Ginny and Elaine to a History of Magic class.
"Elaine is really amazing, she dared to talk to that old toad like that." Ron said, "I didn't expect her to look very weak, and her personality is tougher than Hermione. She confronted Umbridge directly, but Considering her status, this kind of thing is actually not surprising, is it? I heard..."
Ron stopped, and Harry wasn't even paying attention to what he had to say when they saw Cho come around the corner.
Chapter 1035 Harry's Private Tutoring
"Harry, how was your Christmas?" Cho asked.
"Well, not bad, how about you?" said Harry, feeling his appetite whetted!
Ron looked at the two of them from the side, and felt that Qiu's appearance was too coincidental, as if he was waiting here specially.
If Hermione had been here, she would have pulled him away, leaving Harry and Cho alone, but Ron didn't feel that way.
On the contrary, he found it very interesting and wanted to help Harry make suggestions.
"I spent this holiday quite quietly, I didn't go anywhere." Unable to explain why, Qiu seemed a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Harry, "Well, I'm going to Hogsmeade again next month, Did you see the notification?"
"What? Oh no, I haven't looked at the bulletin board since I got back."
"It's Valentine's Day..."
