However, at this moment, a lion-shaped firework suddenly exploded in the sky, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Bang!"

Another firework flew into the sky with a long tail of flame.

At this time, the little wizards also noticed Fred setting off fireworks.

As everyone watched, Fred calmly wrapped a piece of parchment with a gold border around the filiba firework and lit it.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang……"

Ten Filiba fireworks exploded one after another. There were lions, badgers, and fire dragons... They ran and jumped in the sky and lasted for a long time before dissipating.

"Is this the Hogwarts welcome ceremony?" some freshmen asked excitedly.

They didn't know what was going on and thought Hogwarts was using fireworks to welcome them.

It must be said that the fireworks were really beautiful, and looking at the twinkling animals in the sky, they were not as nervous as before.

But it's different for others.

"See... Zabini." In the crowd, Malfoy said to several freshmen around him with some pride: "I told you before that Kyle would definitely destroy these maps, but you still didn't believe it, ha..."

He let out a strange laugh, as if mocking their previous self-righteous words.

Next to him, a boy with a few freckles frowned and said with his neck stiff, "Who knows if this is true? Maybe this is the Transfiguration Spell they used."

"Absolutely impossible!" Malfoy snorted coldly, "I believe Kyle. He won the Special Contribution Award for the school. He is definitely not that kind of person."

"Who knows." The freckled boy curled his lips and said, "Don't forget that those people are all second-year students. This kind of thing should be easy for them."

The two people each insisted on their own opinions and neither could convince the other.

At this moment, Crabbe, the tallest one, suddenly noticed something and reached out to catch a piece of parchment floating down from the sky.

"Draco, look what this is."

Malfoy, who was arguing with Zabini, looked back and his eyes suddenly lit up.

“Ahaha!”

He excitedly grabbed the parchment scraps in his hand, pointed at the remaining golden lines on it and said, "Look at this, this is real gold, do you still think this is a Transfiguration spell? And..."

As he spoke, he put his face close to a dark spot on the debris and took a deep breath.

"I accidentally burned a hole in my unicorn tail tapestry and it smelled exactly like this."

"This..." Zabini's face turned red, as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

Seeing his expression, Malfoy became even more proud, and he raised his neck and said, "I see, you must be saying this because you can't afford the 20 Galleons map.

Never mind, I asked around, they still have a few Xiko maps, you can probably afford those."

"Who can't afford it?"

Zabini became furious all of a sudden. He could accept that he had made a mistake, but he would never accept being mocked by Malfoy like this.

It's only twenty Galleons, how could he not afford it? Who is he looking down on? "Just wait, I'll buy the most expensive map he has." Zabini said with his neck stiff, "It will definitely be better than yours!"

"Tsk tsk, that's impossible."

Malfoy looked at him with contempt and said, "I bought the most expensive one, and Kyle promised that my number is the first. Even if you have the same number as mine, you can only be ranked at the back."

“You… humph!”

Malfoy didn't care at all and watched him leave with an attitude of a winner.

At this moment, a light appeared above their heads.

"First years! First years come over here, Harry, are you all right?"

Hagrid's huge figure appeared on the platform and picked up all the new students just like last year.

As for Kyle and the others, they walked to the other side of the platform. As second-year students, they needed to take a carriage to Hogwarts.

More than a hundred empty carriages were parked on a rough and muddy road.

The wagons are pulled by Thestrals, though most people can't see them.

Kyle couldn't see them either.

There was such an opportunity before, that was the werewolf in St. Mungo's, but the other party's vitality was too strong, and he was finally saved by the healer.

It was obvious that Half-Dead could not see the Thestrals.

Kyle walked up to a carriage and felt its bony head.

The Thestral also nuzzled Kyle gently.

After they got on the carriage, Thestral took them to Hogwarts Castle.

There was a faint smell of mold and straw in the carriage, a bit like a broom closet that had not been used for a long time.

The carriage drove up to a pair of imposing wrought-iron gates, flanked by stone pillars topped with winged wild boars.

This wild boar is not a magical animal. Its image comes from a dream of Rowena Ravenclaude.

In her dream, she was brought to the open space by the Black Lake by a flying wild boar, and then Hogwarts Castle was built.

After passing through the gate, the carriage accelerated on the road leading to the castle. Through the window, several people could clearly see the corner towers and tall towers getting closer and closer to them.

Finally, the carriage lurched to a stop.

The young wizards got out of the car one after another, and while discussing their magical experiences, they climbed the stone steps and walked towards the oak door of the castle.

Torches were burning in the spacious and deep foyer. On the right, the door of the auditorium was open. They needed to enter the auditorium before the first-year students arrived.

Kyle followed the crowd inside.

After not seeing this place for two months, he really missed it a little. He looked at the enchanted ceiling with a sense of familiarity.

The weather is nice today, there are no dark clouds and the stars are very bright.

Kyle had just walked to the Hufflepuff table, and before he had time to sit down, he heard a voice shouting, "Kyle, can you come over here for a moment?"

Kyle looked up in surprise and found that Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, was standing in the guest of honor seat and waving at him.

"I'll be right there, Professor."

Kyle replied quickly, walking towards her through the crowd.

"What do you want to talk to me about, Professor?" Kyle asked.

"The Ministry of Magic sent some things here some time ago, saying it was compensation for the Forbidden Forest incident two months ago."

Professor Sprout smiled and said, "I think it was probably sent to you."
