From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

The little wizard Xiwen said goodbye to Helena and left the dungeon level with his roommates.

Although first-year wizards come to the castle by boat, they don’t have to wait until their second year to experience the Hogwarts carriage.

During every Christmas holiday and at the end of the school year, there are also groups of carriages that take young wizards of all grades to Hogsmeade Station, and first-year wizards can also ride.

However, the location where the carriage is parked is different from the location where you arrive by boat.

The Hogwarts carriage stopped in the open space next to the stone steps outside the main entrance of the castle in the north. Sivan and the others needed to go through the entrance courtyard to the teaching area, then go around the cloister of the teaching area or cross the lawn in between, and then walk for a while

The main road paved with stone slabs finally leads to the main entrance of the castle.

The journey itself was no closer than the distance from the Slytherin common room to the greenhouse, not to mention that the carriage was parked further away in an open space.

Abraxas was not satisfied on the spot. He complained: "Why aren't we allowed to take the boat now? Otherwise, we can go down directly from the entrance courtyard. The Slytherin common room is not far from the boat house.

.”

Gomez immediately retorted: "Taking a boat is not all a benefit. For example, after we reach the other side, we have to pass through the forest and climb along the slope to the station."

"It seems like that's true..." Upon hearing his retort, Abu's face froze.

Among the four Xiwens, Mobley carried the most things.

Ever since he lost all the Galleons that night when the curfew was lifted, he had transformed into a "Tuen Tun Party" - he collected everything that others didn't want and decided to take it home and make up for it, in order to show that

You only spend your own money when you really use it to buy things.

At this time, Mobley was carrying large and small bags and was out of breath from exhaustion. He looked at Xiwen hopefully and asked, "Xiwen, is there still room in your pocket watch?"

"Unfortunately, no more." Xiwen replied without thinking.

It seems that in any storage space, the things in it will accumulate more and more, and they will not think of organizing them until they can no longer fit them. The space of Xiwen's pocket watch has been full several times.

Because of his experience this semester, he always felt that he would encounter unexpected situations from time to time, so he wanted to store any supplies in there for emergencies.

Now that I have brought my own luggage home, there is naturally not much space left for my pocket watch.

After hearing Xiwen's negative reply, Mobley showed a desperate expression. He even wanted to find a trash can and throw away his package on the spot.

"I said, we seem to be wizards." Xiwen said to him in confusion. "Why don't you think of other ways?"

"You're right!" Mobley suddenly became energetic, struggled to free up a hand, and took out the wand from his pocket.

"Wingardium Leviosa." He recited a levitating spell to his luggage, and then these large and small packages floated in the air.

Xiwen saw that he was using his floating spell quite well, so he didn't care too much about it and continued to walk around while thinking about the designs of his remaining alchemy products.

However, after walking a few steps, he heard a "boom"!

Xiwen raised his head in shock and found that all Mobley's luggage fell to the ground, scattered in pieces.

"What just happened?" Abu also looked a little surprised and asked in shock.

"I can't do it anymore!" Mobley sat down on the ground and said depressedly. "Why is it more tiring to use the floating spell to carry the luggage than to carry it on my own!"

The corner of Xiwen's mouth twitched, feeling that he really admired the spiritual power of the first-year wizard.

According to the weight of Mobley's luggage, the effort required for him to control it using the levitation spell is indeed no less than carrying it directly, but one is physical strength and the other is energy.

There was no other way. Xiwen, as the only one with empty hands in the audience, had no choice but to take action himself and recite the magic spell to help Mobley pack his luggage neatly. Then he cast a light-as-a-feather spell on these luggage items (

Feather-light charm), to lighten Mobley's load.

"Come on, let's try again this time." Sivan said to Mobley.

Mobley doubtfully picked up his package again, his face suddenly filled with joy: "It's great! What kind of spell is this?"

"The Light as a Feather Curse." Xiwen said. "So, I told you to learn it carefully but you didn't listen. You will regret it when you need to use it!"

"We have no regrets." Mobley was stunned for a moment and said, "You weren't here!"

Xiwen: "..."

…

After lightening the weight on Mobley, the three of them quickly arrived at the main entrance of the castle.

The main entrance of Hogwarts Castle is a very ornate gate made of iron. There are many stone pillars on both sides, with two warthog statues with wings on the top.

A sign with a strong sense of historical vicissitudes is fixed next to the door, which reads the school motto of Hogwarts - Draiens nunquam ndus (Draiens nunquam ndus)!

This is the first time Xiwen and others have come outside the main entrance of Hogwarts, because the main entrance of the castle is usually not open and is only opened for guests when distinguished guests come to visit or when the holidays begin and end.

Little wizards and professors come to school or return home.

Walking out of the main gate, you can see hundreds of carriages parked neatly in the open space not far away. The tall white horses neighing in front of the carriages they are pulling, which looks quite spectacular.

"Wow!" Abu exclaimed as he looked at the horse in front of him.

"It's indeed spectacular." Xiwen nodded in agreement, confirming Abu's sigh.

"Wow! They must be the most laid-back employees at Hogwarts, they only have to work four times a year!" Abu sighed.

"...So this is what you want to lament?" The corner of Xiwen's mouth twitched.

The few Slytherin wizards arrived relatively late because they were far away and Mobley's luggage was delayed for some time. At this time, the carriage near the gate was basically occupied.

Xiwen and the others had no choice but to keep walking forward, looking for the empty carriage.

Finally, they found an unmanned carriage near the end of the queue.

They couldn't wait to get into the carriage, and they immediately frowned.

These carriages must be a few years old. They are dark inside and have a faint smell of musty and straw.

But no matter how unclean the carriage is, you can't stop riding in it. You have to go home, right?

Therefore, people like Abu who are slightly mysophobic can only put a piece of parchment paper on the seat, tighten their body the whole time, and sit upright. For fear of accidentally rubbing their clothes to other places in the car.

Fortunately, the wait did not take long, and all the students boarded the carriage.

Hundreds of carriages lined up in a queue, creaking and swaying along the path leading to Hogsmeade Station.

This is a long downhill driveway, and you can roughly tell from the sound of the surrounding wind that the carriage is traveling very fast.

Finally, they stopped at the stone steps leading to the station entrance.

And a gleaming scarlet steam train was already waiting on the track, spewing thick steam from time to time.
