Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Hagrid released Harry and Ron after confirming Harry was unharmed, then turned to Ron, who was still ready to fight. "Don't fight before school starts, or you'll all be in trouble if it gets out of hand!"

Having interacted with Andoan for so many years, Hagrid's mentality had matured. He knew that the most important thing now was to bring these children back to Hogwarts, and the matter of Malfoy misusing alchemical tools could be dealt with later.

"This… you got lucky." Ron knew what was good for him, and after glaring at Malfoy, he ran to Harry's side.

"Alright, enough joking around. Everyone follow me, we have a long way to go!" With that, Hagrid took his lantern and began to lead the way.

Malfoy, frightened by Hagrid and aware that he had caused trouble in front of everyone, became much more obedient, but he looked at Harry Potter, who had just been in the limelight, with a somewhat unpredictable expression.

He paid so much attention to Harry because, on the one hand, he didn't expect the other boy to have a legendary item. On the other hand, Malfoy had also wanted to impress his father by getting to know Harry.

The children of Malfoy's generation had all heard the 'Harry Potter story,' but there was also another version, which was that Harry killed Voldemort entirely by his own power, and he was likely to be the next Dark Lord.

His father, Lucius, was a supporter of this theory, so Malfoy thought that if he could befriend Harry, it would definitely bring honor to his father.

But what happened? He became enemies with Harry before school even started, which made Malfoy feel very embarrassed. At the same time, Malfoy realized that his father's expectations were likely nonsense, otherwise, how could Harry be mixed up with the Weasley family?

On the other side, Ron approached Harry with a disgruntled expression. "That kid got lucky, otherwise I would have taught him a lesson."

Then he looked at Harry anxiously. "Are you okay? Luckily you pushed me away, or I would have been completely humiliated."

"I'm fine." Harry smiled and shook his head, then placed his hand on his chest. "The 【Flash Spirit】 saved me. It can teleport me away when I'm in danger."

"Cool!" Ron returned to his usual boisterous state. "I'd say your legendary item is much more powerful than Malfoy's. A boy like him actually has such a cute wand."

But then Ron muttered with some resentment, "But that bastard actually managed to draw a legendary item. I've drawn so many blind boxes and got nothing. Merlin is blind."

"What? Are you familiar with that guy?" Harry looked at Ron curiously. Although the whirlwind that pushed Harry away startled him, he realized afterward that it wasn't too intense. It only lifted him a little over a meter high, and he probably wouldn't have even fallen if he hadn't been pushed, so he didn't take it too seriously.

"I don't know him, but I've heard about the Malfoy family." Ron lowered his voice and leaned close to Harry's ear. "His father, Lucius, was originally a Death Eater, but after the Dark Lord disappeared, their family was the first to surrender. They even claimed they were controlled by the Dark Lord's magic, but my dad doesn't believe it at all."

Harry had heard Hagrid introduce Voldemort and the Death Eaters in Diagon Alley, so he understood what Ron meant.

"I'd say that guy is definitely a bad seed." Ron added with a disdainful tone.

"Alright, don't let that guy ruin our good mood. Look, there's a big lake ahead. Are we almost at Hogwarts?" Harry pointed excitedly ahead, then pulled Ron forward.

Sure enough, after advancing for a while, the group finally arrived at the Black Lake. Through the mist on the lake, they could vaguely see the shadow of the castle on the cliff.

"Everyone, get on the boats! Each boat can hold up to four people!" Hagrid led everyone to the lakeside and shouted.

Then, the group of new students boarded the self-propelled boats one after another and sailed towards the opposite shore, and the full view of the huge castle gradually appeared before them.

"Wow, is this Hogwarts?"

After landing from the boat docks, the gathered little wizards looked up at the castle on the cliff, unable to help but exclaim in surprise.

"Don't stand there gawking, let's go. You'll be able to see Hogwarts clearly once you get up there. It'll definitely blow your minds." Hagrid waved his hand at the crowd with a smile. Every year, he looked forward to seeing the surprised expressions on these little wizards' faces the most.

"But, is that ship in the sky also part of Hogwarts?" A new student stared blankly at the sky behind him, muttering to himself.

Hearing this, the little wizards around him looked in the direction the other student was looking with some curiosity, and then suddenly shouted with wide eyes, "L-look, there's a ship! In the sky!"

Interrupted by this, the group of little wizards immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and then their jaws almost dropped at the same time.

At this moment, the sky opposite the Black Lake suddenly became a raging storm, accompanied by a torrent of silver lightning, looking as if a world-shattering thunderstorm was about to arrive.

In the midst of this thunderstorm, a three-masted sailing ship burst out of the sea of clouds like it was sailing on the sea, rising and falling.

The three-masted sailing ship was shimmering with a crystal-clear light blue glow, with three vertical masts, one high and two low. Each vertical mast was divided into three rows of horizontal sails of different sizes but very neat.

A long ram extended from the front of the bow, like a narwhal's horn. At the same time, three smaller jib sails connected the foremast and the bow. Eight long oars extended from each side of the hull, moving up and down, like eight delicate dragonfly wings in the sky.

From a distance, the ship looked like a crystal warship bravely advancing in a sea full of thunderstorms. Some dense lightning even leaped back and forth between the sails and masts, exuding a ferocious murderous aura, yet appearing so illusory and elegant.

As the 'airship' got closer and closer to Hogwarts Castle, the group of little wizards were so frightened by the earth-shattering momentum that their bodies went weak, and some timid new students even tearfully called out for their mothers.

"This guy, he's just coming to work, does he have to make such a big scene?" After seeing the ship, Hagrid immediately recognized its owner, so he didn't seem particularly surprised, but showed a helpless wry smile.

"Alright, alright, don't just stand there gawking. That ship is no threat to Hogwarts and won't hurt you. Now hurry up and follow me back to the castle." Hagrid shouted loudly at the group of new students, and it took him a while to get everyone's attention away from the strange airship.

"H-Hagrid, do you… do you know that ship? Is it also part of Hogwarts?" Harry asked tremblingly, stuttering.

Harry was so frightened that he could hardly move. If Hogwarts on the high cliff gave people a feeling of grandeur and magnificence, then this airship made people feel thrilling, as if the sky was about to collapse.

Harry's question aroused the curiosity of the group of little wizards, and everyone looked at Hagrid, even Malfoy was no exception.

"You'll find out in a while. That ship is nothing special, it just happens to fly." Hagrid rolled his eyes speechlessly, then waved his hand at the crowd.

And so, under Hagrid's constant urging, the group of little wizards stumbled up the stone steps, but they still looked back frequently.

After all, the shock that the airship brought to everyone was too strong, and it was flying closer and closer, obviously heading for Hogwarts, so everyone's attention couldn't be diverted.

After arriving at the courtyard at the top, Hagrid finally managed to drive everyone into the entrance hall of the castle, where Professor McGonagall was waiting impatiently.

"Why did it take so long?" McGonagall looked at Hagrid, who was leading the new students, with some complaint. She had been waiting here for a long time, and if it was any later, she would have suspected that something had happened to these new students on the way.

"Didn't you see that thing in the sky? Getting these kids here with that ship overhead is no easier than herding a bunch of starving turbot hogs." Hagrid shrugged helplessly at Professor McGonagall.

"How could I not notice it." Professor McGonagall shook her head speechlessly. "That guy is really something. The magic simulating the sky in the Great Hall was almost messed up, and the people inside thought it was going to storm. I'm already regretting it a bit. Perhaps I really shouldn't have invited him back."

"Hehe, it's too late to regret it now, isn't it?" Hagrid was an optimist, and he could still laugh at this time. "I'll leave these new students to you. I have to go down and watch the ship for that guy. That big guy has a bad temper."

"Tell him to come up here quickly!" McGonagall glared at Hagrid playfully. "Almost being late is one thing, but now he's almost delaying the Sorting Ceremony."

"Hehe, you can nag him yourself later. He said in his letter that he brought me something delicious." Hagrid rubbed his stomach and laughed, then turned and left.

"You're really too easily bribed…" McGonagall couldn't help but roll her eyes at Hagrid's back again, then turned her attention to the little wizards who were still feeling lingering fear.

"Alright, in a little while you will pass through these doors and gather with the other students, but before you take your seats, you must be assigned to your Houses, there's Gryffindor…" McGonagall kindly explained the Sorting Ceremony that would take place later, as well as the rules of House points and the House Cup.

Of course, McGonagall wasn't sure if these little wizards were listening at this time, after all, they had just experienced a 'scare,' but she was still fulfilling her duties according to the procedure.

Finally, after telling everyone a few words to wait a moment, McGonagall turned and entered the Great Hall.
