The Admiral of Hogwarts

The next morning, when Hugo got up and packed to leave, he found the whole house in chaos. Mrs. Weasley was in a fit of temper, worried that everyone was moving too slowly and they might miss the train.

"The main problem is still with Moody," Veneto, who had gotten up even earlier than him, had watched the whole process and explained to Hugo.

"We can't leave because Mad-Eye is complaining that Sturgis Podmore hasn't arrived, and he thinks we can't leave because it would be one less guard, which might create a loophole in the security circle."

"Guard? For whom?" Hugo felt a little dizzy; he didn't think anyone in this house needed to enjoy such high-level security measures this year.

"For me, although I don't want it." Harry's somewhat helpless voice came from behind. "I think Voldemort is lurking and waiting for an opportunity, but Mad-Eye seems to think he'll jump out from behind a trash can and poison me."

"Your judgment makes sense, but sometimes safety is more important," Hermione nodded and said. "Actually, most people here don't think anyone will attack Harry on the way, but to avoid some people having a brain fart, we always have to make some extra preparations."

What Hermione didn't say was that among the four ship girls summoned yesterday, the three who were good at fighting, namely Lion, Conqueror, and Vanguard, had volunteered yesterday to provide security work, so today they would also support an emergency circle for everyone on the periphery without making contact.

As for the other ship girl summoned, Sandi, she was pulled to the newly built Mars headquarters base as soon as she was summoned, because for the ship girls, everyone now urgently needs a sister who can help them operate their industries.

After all, for most ship girls, whether it is fighting or scientific research, it can be said that they are very skilled, but they are not as good at those jobs that are related to business, and the task of Sandi being summoned this time is to make up for this defect.

Fortunately, everyone's luck was not bad, and everything was finally straightened out. The guards who should have come were all present, so with an order, everyone set off with their things. Everyone walked outside into the faint September sunlight.

The weather today was very good. It could be said that it was high and crisp autumn, but unfortunately, because the relationship with the Ministry of Magic had been completely ruined before, they couldn't borrow a car, so now everyone could only walk to King's Cross Station.

Fortunately, the journey was not long. After walking for twenty minutes, they arrived at King's Cross Station. Everything was normal on the way, and nothing major happened, and naturally there was no sudden attack that Moody had expected.

After entering King's Cross Station, everyone entered separately according to the plan, and as the first batch to enter, Hugo and the other two saw a familiar person waiting for them at the entrance.

Moody had already arrived at the station at this time, and he was also helping everyone with their luggage. He was wearing a porter's hat, which was pulled low over his mismatched eyes, and all the luggage was piled on the trolley he was pushing.

After briefly counting and finding that everyone had arrived, Moody approached everyone and whispered that everything was normal, then pushed the trolley and limped through the archway.

Hugo and the others also followed to Platform 9 3/4. They unloaded the boxes from Moody's luggage cart one by one. When they were about to finish unloading, Fred, George, and Ginny arrived with Sirius, and fortunately, everything went smoothly on their side as well.

After getting on the train and saying hello to Harry and the others, Hugo pulled his luggage and walked to the front of the train with Hermione.

Unlike in the past when they sat in the back carriages, this time they had to go to the prefect carriage at the very front of the train to receive instructions from the Head Boy and Head Girl, and then patrol the corridor from time to time.

Arriving at the prefect carriage at the front, the two Head Students were already there. Hugo found that this year's Head Boy was their acquaintance, Cedric, and naturally, this change from the original text was very gratifying.

When the train started, the prefects arrived one after another. Among the new prefects this year, Gryffindor was Ron and Firefly, Slytherin was Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. Hufflepuff was Ernie Macmillan and Hannah Abbott.

After seeing Hugo and Hermione, everyone except the two Slytherin prefects stepped forward to greet them, and then exchanged their summer experiences with each other.

After chatting for a few minutes, everyone arrived. The two Head Students gave the newly elected prefects this year some information about the Hogwarts Student Council and then directly began to arrange work. Hugo and Hermione were assigned to patrol the first half of the carriages.

"What do you think Professor Dumbledore was thinking this year?" After starting the patrol, Hermione asked Hugo after discovering that no one around was paying attention to them.

"I mean, Malfoy may be annoying, but his grades are still very good, and he's qualified to be a prefect, but that Pansy is obviously useless, how could she be chosen as a prefect?"

Perhaps because she was also a fifth-year female prefect, Hermione was very dissatisfied with Pansy becoming a prefect. Because she felt that it was too bad to be compared to a good-for-nothing.

"I seemed to hear Sirius say a few days ago that the Parkinson family has been trying to improve their family level in recent years and has paid a lot for it, and one of the most important ways to improve is to marry into the Malfoy family."

"If you had paid attention to this matter before, you would have found that Pansy Parkinson is always following Malfoy as a follower, so I think becoming a prefect is likely to be the Parkinson family's operation behind the scenes, in order to get closer to Little Malfoy."

After dealing with a few students who were fighting in the corridor over something, Hugo and they arrived at the carriage where Harry and Ron were. After entering the carriage, he saw that the people in the carriage seemed a little angry.

"What happened?" Because the carriage was now full, Hugo said leaning against the door frame of the carriage.

"Malfoy ran over just now to provoke us and show off that he is now a prefect, and then insulted all of us," Ginny replied angrily.

"The other prefect of Slytherin is Pansy, they can only choose this kind of stuff." Hermione shook her head. "It's strange, aren't the Malfoys the core members of the Death Eaters? Why is he so active at this time, and still has the mind to provoke Harry."

"Maybe his father is now allowed to kiss the robe of the Dark Lord, he may think his good days are coming. Of course, it is also possible that his family has reached some shady deal with the Ministry of Magic." Ginny analyzed very rationally.

Hugo felt that Ginny could definitely become a seer, because Fudge was going to make trouble for Dumbledore this year, so in this case, Malfoy, who had a special connection with the Ministry of Magic, would naturally shake up.

After chatting with Harry and the others for a while, Hugo and Hermione went to the last carriage closest to the door to meet Veneto, and then analyzed the overall activities of the ship girls recently together.
