There's no way, since he is a car stuck at a certain point, it's not easy to find an empty space at this time.

Kyle used a levitation spell to carry his luggage until he finally found a fairly spacious carriage at the end of the train.

There was only one boy in this carriage, who was about the same age as him. As for his appearance… although he was not as good as himself, he was much better than the two twins of the Weasley family.

“Bang bang…”

Kyle knocked on the door of the carriage and asked politely, "Hello, can I sit here? All other seats are full."

"Of course, just sit down." The man said quickly.

"Thanks."

After entering the carriage, Kyle first placed his luggage on the storage rack and then extended his hand to the other party.

"Hello, I'm this year's freshman, Kyle Chopper."

The man seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond immediately. After he reacted, he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Oh... Sorry, Cedric Diggory, a second-year student at Hogwarts."

Cedric?

Kyle was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet an "acquaintance" just after getting on the train. The future Hogwarts warrior, no wonder he was so handsome.

Kyle remembered that his family also lived near the village of St. Catchpole, but for various reasons, the two had never met.

Not even once.

Kyle went to look for him several times at the beginning, but Diggory's door was always closed, so Kyle gave up over time.

Unexpectedly, the first time they met was on a train...

However, seeing that the other party seemed to be worried about something, Kyle did not say anything more. After a simple greeting, he took out the book "Common Spells and Solutions" that he bought from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and began to read.

The other party continued to be in a daze.

I don't know when it started to drizzle outside the car window. It's always like this here, the rain always comes without any warning.

Kyle looked up and out the window, but didn't care. He was used to it, and he also liked reading in this environment.

Under Kyle's influence, Cedric stopped being in a daze and took out a book to read. Judging from the cover, it should be "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense".

It is normal for Hogwarts students to review Defense Against the Dark Arts on the train before the start of term.

After all, no one knows how long the professor of this course can last this year. What if he quits after two classes? So it is always a good idea to prepare in advance.

For some time afterwards, the only sound in the carriage was the sound of the turning of parchment, which formed a sharp contrast with the noise outside the corridor.

But this situation did not last long.

Before Cedric had finished reading two pages, the door of the carriage was opened again.

"Finally found you, Kyle."

"We reserved a seat for you, but you stood us up and made us wait foolishly until now."

"I think you should apologize to us."

Fred and George leaned against the door, questioning Kyle one by one.

And both of them looked very angry, as if Kyle had done something that was hated by God and man.

"I can apologize."

Kyle calmly closed the book in his hand and said, "But the prerequisite is that you must swear to the dung egg that what you just said is true."

In an instant, the anger on Fred's face turned into confusion: "Well, can I swear in the name of the principal?"

George did the same: "Or Professor McGonagall would do."

"No!" Kyle shook his head: "It can only be a big dung egg."

…

"Yeah Fred, you can't blame him. We should have paid more attention outside."

The twins looked at each other, tacitly ignored what had just been said, and squeezed into the car as if nothing had happened.

Inevitably, they saw Cedric, too.

Fred smiled wickedly and said, "Look who this is. I can't remember him."

George raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course it's our good boy from Hogwarts, Mr. Cedric Diggory, the light of Hufflepuff."

As soon as the two finished talking, Cedric's face suddenly turned red. He was so embarrassed by the string of extremely embarrassing prefixes that he almost punched a hole in the train.

But he couldn't refute it.

Because the two titles of "Good Boy" and "Light of Hufflepuff" were passed down from his father, in just one summer vacation, almost everyone in the entire Ministry of Magic knew about them.

Of course, this also includes their families.

Therefore, during this summer vacation, almost half of the letters Cedric received were signed with the name of Hufflepuff.

The remaining half were classmates from Muggle families who didn't know about this.

It was precisely because of this incident that he deliberately chose the carriage in the corner, but he did not expect that he would still be discovered, and he was the two most troublesome people.

"Please, let me go!" Cedric put his hands together and begged: "I can lend you my homework."

As he spoke, a stack of parchment was placed on the table.

The twins wanted to make some more jokes, but the price offered by the other party was too high.

That’s the best homework in the grade!

George's expression straightened, and he quickly held the parchment in his arms, and said seriously: "What are you talking about, Cedric, of course we know that this is not what you meant, just now it was just a joke."

"That's right." Fred also nodded and said, "Don't worry, we won't laugh at you for this."

…

Fred and George left with smiles on their faces, looking as if they had found Galleons.

As soon as they left, Cedric breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Kyle a little embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I..."

"I should be the one to apologize." Kyle interrupted him and said, "After all, they came to find me, otherwise you wouldn't have been found."

Cedric smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's only a matter of time."

He could hide on the train, but not once he got to Hogwarts. He had to face it anyway, it was just a matter of time.

In addition, the sudden appearance of the Weasley brothers was not a bad thing, because they showed Cedric a way to solve the problem.

That's homework.

As the top student in the grade, his summer homework is still very popular, which can be seen from the reactions of the Weasley brothers just now. So it should be no problem to use homework to shut up the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor houses.

As long as we can control them, the problem is basically 80% solved.

As for Ravenclaw and Slytherin...given the personalities of these two houses, they probably won't join in the fun, at least most of them won't, and even if there are a few of them occasionally, it's no big deal.

As long as the people in his own house don't make a fuss, and as long as the energetic lions of Gryffindor don't get involved, this matter will be over in three days at most.

Just three days, it goes by quickly.

Thinking about it this way, Cedric suddenly felt that things didn't seem so bad.
