Chapter 140 Caught up, Forced Landing in the Wrong Location

Back in his compartment, Aaron began to close his eyes and rest, quietly waiting for the train to arrive.

Actually, telling George and the others that Harry and Ron might not be able to catch the sorting ceremony was just a whim. He was a little prepared so that he would not be disappointed if he could not see anyone in the hall.

About ten minutes later, the train slowed down with a whistle and stopped at Hogsmeade.

The students got off the train one after another, and the scene became particularly noisy.

"Senior, this is my first time in Hogwarts." Colin looked at Aaron nervously, "Can I... follow you?"

"Don't worry, someone will give you guidance as a novice."

As soon as the voice fell, a familiar voice sounded not far away.

"First-year freshmen, gather here and follow me."

"Is it him?" Colin asked.

"Yes, Hagrid will lead the freshmen to cross the Black Lake in the traditional way and then arrive at Hogwarts Castle.

In short, just follow him."

"Thank you, senior." Colin smiled and showed his teeth, and happily went to the giant Hagrid.

"Actually, you don't have to take care of him like this!" Draco asked puzzledly, "Even if you don't say anything, he will know what to do."

Aaron shook his head and said meaningfully: "Not every Muggle-born wizard can be as confident as Hermione. When they are unfamiliar with everything, what they need most is a little bit of kindness.

Besides, this child is a little too naive. I feel a little embarrassed if I don't help him."

"You are only one year older than him, why are you so deep!" Draco said speechlessly.

The two are sophomores, so they don't need to take a boat to Hogwarts Castle. Instead, they followed another group of people after getting off the bus and walked to the other side of the platform.

On a rough muddy road, hundreds of empty carriages were parked here, but there were only carriages, no horses to pull them.

"Is this... an invisible horse?"

"I guess so! I heard from Hagrid that the school has a group of night unicorns specifically for pulling carriages." Aaron looked at the open space in front of the carriage, and the description he had read in the book emerged in his mind.

Night unicorns are a kind of Pegasus, tall and skinny, with a dragon head and a horse body, a pair of broad wings on their backs, and extremely amazing perception.

They can be tamed and will not betray, but the only drawback is that only people who have witnessed death can see them.

Abe walked up to a carriage, and his big eyes looked at the space between the carriages curiously, as if he could see the magical animal Night Unicorn.

But before he could take a closer look, he was picked up by Aaron and taken to an empty carriage.

Draco got into the carriage and closed the door, and the carriage automatically moved towards the direction of the castle.

"Just be quiet!

There are so many people here, it's easy to attract attention."

Abe groaned and lay obediently in Aaron's arms.

Aaron's eyes twitched slightly, he heard Abe's dragon language: Ye Qi is not as good-looking as me, he is just skin and bones.

The carriage drove through two wrought iron gates, accelerated through a long ramp, and then stopped shakily.

Arriving in front of the castle, Aaron and Draco jumped off the carriage.

"Boss, we are here."

Crabbe and Goyle ran over from behind and stood on the left and right of Draco like door gods.

"Where did you go?" Draco asked a little unhappy, "I didn't see anyone when I passed by your carriage just now. You are so brave that you didn't even wait for me."

The two looked at each other and hesitated to speak.

After a moment of silence, Crabbe said angrily, "We should have been inside the carriage, but we accidentally fell to the floor when we got off the train, so..."

Pah!

Draco patted his forehead, speechless.

But this was his follower after all, so he couldn't just do it casually.

"Okay, don't care about this little episode.

After all, they are second-year students, and we have to welcome new Slytherins later."

Draco glanced at the two of them angrily, "Let's go! I hope you can be more reliable next time."

The four followed the crowd up the steps, passed through the majestic oak door, and entered the spacious and deep entrance hall.

Then they crossed a marble staircase and turned a few corners to the auditorium.

Several prefects took their students from their respective colleges to sit at the long table belonging to their colleges, and in front of them were the college professors and other faculty members sitting neatly.

Principal Dumbledore looked at a letter on the table, frowned slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Professor Snape looked at Aaron deeply, raised his lips slightly, and then turned his face away expressionlessly, showing his coldness and arrogance to the fullest.

At this time, Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on an empty chair.

Maybe it was a year later, it was covered with dust again. Aaron, who was sitting at the front of the long table, felt a little itchy when he saw it.

The Sorting Hat seemed to have noticed something and opened its human eyes, "I warn you, put away your unnecessary thoughts.

I am a freshman this year, don't tell me what to do."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Aaron said seriously, turning his head to look at Professor McGonagall, "Professor, can you give it a simple clean?

I think freshmen will instinctively resist a dirty hat!"

Sorting Hat:......

"Don't go too far, didn't you say you wouldn't tell me what to do?"

"It's not me who did it myself." Aaron said as a matter of course, "This is not intentional. Did you entrust it to someone else?"

"This..." Professor McGonagall hesitated, looking at the wrinkled Sorting Hat, a little reluctant, "This is not good!"

"Minerva, you are more reasonable." The Sorting Hat said, "Unlike some people who don't know how to respect their predecessors, I am a magical item created by the four giants of the college after all, and the necessary respect must be given."

"That's it." Professor McGonagall said embarrassedly, "It can also be regarded as the elder of the college."

"Tsk!"

Aaron curled his lips in disapproval. Are the four giants of the college, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, so great?

Maybe they are indeed great. After all, these four magicians were the ceiling of the wizarding world at that time and the sons of luck of that era.

But no matter how great they are, they are just a handful of yellow earth now. People who have died have no deterrent power in front of him.

Besides, the ancestors of his Gaius family were not necessarily weaker than the Big Four. After being baptized by a group of immortals during this holiday, his awe of those great wizards was greatly reduced.

Soon the freshmen followed Hagrid to the auditorium. The first-year freshmen, including Ginny and Colin, looked curiously at the auditorium decorated with magic.

Hagrid walked straight to his seat and poured himself a full glass of beer.

"Ahem! Freshmen, follow me." Professor McGonagall took them to the front of the auditorium, then picked up the Sorting Hat and a long list, "Students whose names I read, please come forward, the Sorting Hat will sort you into the most suitable college."

The Sorting Hat grinned with the wrinkles on the hat, squeezing out a crooked smile. This was the happiest and most visible time of the year, controlling all the little wizards.

Professor McGonagall began to call the roll as usual, and the freshmen sat on the chairs one by one to be sorted.

Aaron watched this scene quietly, expecting that there would be wizards like him who could make the Sorting Hat splash with water.

The next moment, he frowned slightly, because he vaguely heard the roar of a car, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would pass by the wall.

In addition, he heard a sharp scream and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Harry and Ron seemed to have arrived at the school smoothly, but it seemed that it was not so smooth, otherwise there would not be such a scream.

"Should we report the situation to the professors?"

Aaron looked at the teacher's seat and hesitated for a while, but soon he decided to pretend that he knew nothing.

On the one hand, he had done enough and helped everything he could. From the perspective of a friend, he could say that he had done his best. On the other hand, the professors might not believe it, and it would be even worse if they believed it.

Although it is not written in the school rules to drive a flying car to Hogwarts, it is not worth promoting no matter how you look at it. If you are caught, you will definitely not have a good result.

At this time, Harry and Ron were sitting in the Ford car, panting nervously.

After a long journey, the car was a little overwhelmed. Although it finally reached the destination, the location of the forced landing was a little wrong. It was stuck on a big tree.

If it was an ordinary tree, it would be fine, but the name of this tree is the Whomping Willow, a magical plant.

The Whomping Willow is furious, and no matter what hits it, it will be beaten by the willow branches.

The Ford car was stuck on it, just like the fish on the chopping board.

Before the panicked two people could react, several branches as thick as pythons fell down.
