Accompanied by falling rain and the sound of horse hooves walking in the mud, the carriage drove into Hogwarts, galloped along the spacious driveway, and stopped by the stone steps in front of the oak door.
Luo Fu got out of the car and climbed the stone steps. He found that the door was crowded with students and the foyer turned into a scene like a water curtain cave.
Peeves was floating above the hall, shouting:
"Damn ghosts, you didn't even let Mr. Peeves attend the dinner party. You little wizards don't even want to enter the auditorium... Jie Jie!"
Peeves opened his mouth with a "clack" and stuck out his tongue. The tip of the tongue was sharp and hard, exuding a metallic luster, and then stabbed towards a rubber balloon.
The balloon filled with water exploded, and the cold water spilled out, pouring on the students' heads.
The people around were screaming and pushing each other, trying to leave this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible.
Rolf frowned and said, "Peeves, what are you doing?"
When Peeves heard the familiar voice, he almost fell from the air. He steadied himself in time and floated smoothly, showing a flattering smile.
"Lord Scamander, are you back? It's a rainy day and the ground is full of mud. Little Peeves is cleaning the floor for you."
Everyone looked at Rolf in surprise. This was the first time they had seen Peeves treat a student with such respect... As expected of you, Scamander!
There is a reason why Peeves is so well-behaved... Just half a year ago, he became scared after seeing Bloody Baron being turned into a "dead ghost" by Rolf using magic.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we are going to the auditorium." Luo Fe said.
"Of course, I'll leave now." Peeves said, drifting away. "I hope your studies go well and you graduate soon... I won't disturb you anymore."
Rolf led Shirley and the others towards the auditorium. Ginny and Luna blocked the way. Ginny said anxiously:
"Rolph, have you seen Harry and Ron?"
"No." Luofu shook his head and said, "Why, they disappeared again?"
"Yes." Ginny said, "After we got off the train, Ron asked us to leave first and said he wanted to trouble Malfoy.
But now all the carriages have arrived, and they are not seen."
Luna pulled her head out of "The Quibbler", looked at Rove with wandering eyes, and said:
"Maybe they were captured by the lake fairies, who are active in this kind of weather.
When I was a child, I met a fat woman who wanted to take me away. My father said she was the fairy in the lake."
Luo Fe was speechless for a moment. To be able to describe human traffickers in such a fresh and refined manner, Old Lovegood was really...a brain circuit that was different from others.
"Has anyone seen Harry and Ron?" Rolf asked.
"I saw it." Hannah waved her arms and smiled: "Malfoy was standing in the carriage, waving an ugly dress, and Potter and Weasley rushed into the train."
"They rushed into the train?" Ginny asked in shock: "Did they be taken away by the train?"
"I can't say for sure." Luof glanced at the auditorium and said, "Professor McGonagall is here. Let's talk to her later."
Professor McGonagall quickly walked out of the auditorium, but the ground was covered with water. Her feet slipped and she was about to fall. Fortunately, Rolf had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed Professor McGonagall's arm and held her firmly.
"Oh...thank you, Mr. Scamander."
"It's okay, Professor!" Rolf held onto Professor McGonagall's arm and whispered, "Harry and Ron are gone."
After hearing the whole story, Professor McGonagall looked very unhappy. Why was it always Potter and Weasley... Why?!
"I'm not free now. I have to take the new students into the branch hall." Professor McGonagall sighed and said, "I'll ask Professor Snape to find them."
Mag raised his wand, and a silver cat jumped out from the tip of the wand. It landed on the ground and circled around, then ran nimbly towards the auditorium.
A moment later, Snape strode over, dragging his long black cloak with a malicious smile on his face.
Snape walked too fast, and his feet slipped on the wet marble floor, but Rolf didn't help him, and deliberately took half a step back.
Then, Snape made a thud and fell to the ground, extremely embarrassed.
The students all wanted to laugh, but no one dared to laugh out loud. Everyone knew that once they laughed, there would be a year-long torture, so they had to hold it back.
Snape got up from the ground. Although he didn't speak, his face was gloomy. He said with an angry look on his face: "Who threw the water?!"
After a while, Daphne from Slytherin House stammered: "Professor Snape, it was Peeves who did it."
"..."
Snape was dumb and could only hold his breath in his stomach, and then turned his attention to Professor McGonagall.
"Professor McGonagall, you just said that Potter and Weasley are still on the train and haven't gotten off?"
"That should be the case." Professor McGonagall nodded, "So I want you to go take a look and bring them back."
"Ouch." Snape had an exaggerated smile on his face.
"It seems that the famous Harry Potter and his little sidekick Weasley dislike Hogwarts and are planning to drop out and go home?"
"That's not the case, Professor Snape." Ginny said, "They didn't mean it..."
"Shut up." Snape interrupted Ginny coldly and sneered:
"The two of them were in first grade and suspected that I wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. They violated school rules with Weasley and went to the restricted area on the fourth floor to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. Then they met Quirrell.
In the second grade, they drove a flying car, crashed the Whomping Willow, and fed poisonous mushrooms to their classmates... It was them every time, and they said it was not intentional?!"
Even Professor McGonagall couldn't say anything now. After all, every word Snape spoke spoke to her heart.
Harry and Ron are not bad, Professor McGonagall still likes them, but if they are not in their own house - such as in Slytherin - then they will like them even more!
"If we really find that they didn't get off the train, I think necessary punishment should be taken." Snape said with a evil smile:
"For example, each person will be deducted fifty points and then put in solitary confinement."
"But classes officially start tomorrow, so we shouldn't deduct points from Gryffindor tonight, right?" Luna said.
"When Potter and Weasley drove the Flying Car the year before last, they had no points deducted for this reason." Snape snorted:
"But did it work? No! Instead, it got worse! So this time we must punish him severely."
"Also...if a student of my college stays on the train and does not get off, I will deal with it strictly." Snape said loudly with a righteous look:
"Professor McGonagall, you are the Vice-Principal, not just the Head of Gryffindor. You cannot favor the students of your own house."
With the hat off, what else could Professor McGonagall do? She could only sigh and said: "Then just as you said, each person will be deducted fifty points and then put in solitary confinement."
Snape smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that Rolf's expression changed slightly, he asked in a sinister tone: "Why, Scamander, do you have a different opinion?"
"No, I completely agree with this punishment." Luofu said with a smile:
"But it seems Malfoy, Goyle and Crabbe are also on the train, so Slytherin will be deducted 150 points.
Professor Snape, you are so selfless, I am impressed tonight!"
Snape: "..."

(Thanks to Mr. Yue Renjun for the reward.
Let me explain what happened yesterday. I originally posted a chapter, but before I posted it, it was blocked by Seven Points. I had to repost a chapter. Unexpectedly, two hours later, the blocked chapter was re-blocked by Seven Points.
It was sent out, resulting in duplication of chapters.
Alas, Crow Crow really didn’t mean it, so I apologize to all readers.)
