The gold Galleons on the table were not collected. A simple levitation spell put them back into Kanna's pocket.

Kyle would not cheat an eleven-year-old girl out of her money, even if she looked really rich.

This is a matter of principle.

Well...at least until he gets back from Dorset.

Cedric looked at the closed door of the box, then at Kyle who was obviously relieved, and subconsciously said, "Well, I am your first customer, right? Can I try the tonic too?"

"What are you talking about? That's too polite."

Kyle waved his hand seriously and said, "You are my best friend and brother, not a customer."

"Yeah." Cedric nodded and said, "Then the trial tonic..."

"No, that's only for customers."

"Uh..." Cedric looked directly at Kyle, his eyes twitching slightly.

It was the first time he had seen someone talk about treating people differently and cheating acquaintances so confidently. Did they really have no shame at all? I learned something.

Cedric just felt tired and could only change the subject and continue talking about things related to Hogwarts.

When it comes to Hogwarts, Quidditch is definitely indispensable, after all, both of them like it.

So the topic naturally extended to the professional Quidditch team, but here Kyle and Cedric had a disagreement.

Kyle likes the Wimbledon Hornets, while Cedric is a big fan of the Chudley Cannons.

Now, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Kyle and Cedric looked at each other, and where their eyes met, there seemed to be a cluster of invisible sparks crackling.

Once the dispute between the fans began, there was no option of giving up. Neither of them gave in, and as time went on, the temperature in the car seemed to drop a lot.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that their confrontation was interrupted by a violent jolt.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take it to school for you." A voice echoed on the train.

Kyle and Cedric looked away at the same time. In tacit understanding, neither of them looked at each other again, but started to change their robes.

Kyle turned his head and glanced out the window. At this moment, the sky outside had become very dark. No wonder it felt so cold.

Fortunately, the rain had stopped, otherwise he would have to take an umbrella.

The train slowed down and finally stopped.

After ten hours, the journey finally reached its end.

Kyle checked his robe and wand again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he followed the bustling crowd out of the train and came to a small, dark platform.

This place is really shabby, with weeds growing all around it. The station sign is badly faded, and the words "Hogsmeade Station" on it are very blurry. If you don't look carefully, you can't recognize it at all.

There wasn't even a decent tile here, and it had just rained, so Kyle stepped into mud as soon as he got out of the car.

"Clean it up."

Kyle waved his wand at his shoes and carefully moved to a relatively clean area.

Who would believe it if I told others that the platform of this thousand-year-old prestigious school is in such a dilapidated state?

If it wasn't called Hogwarts, and if the headmaster wasn't called Dumbledore, it would be impossible to recruit anyone just based on this platform.

At this time, Kyle also saw Kanna.

The little girl stood trembling in the crowd. Even from such a distance, Kyle could see her pale face. It was obvious that she was frightened by the scene before her.

Perhaps because she noticed someone was looking at her, Kanna subconsciously turned her head and saw Kyle.

Kyle reached out and helped Connor, who was about to fall, without saying anything. He just took out his wand again and waved it at her robe.

"Clean it up."

The girl didn't even look at the road when she ran, and she was covered in mud.

After doing all this, he smiled and patted the little girl on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's safe here, someone will come to pick us up soon."

"Yeah." Kanna lowered her head and responded softly.

At the same time, an oil lamp appeared above their heads.

"First years! First years, come over here!"

Surrounded by first-year wizards, Hagrid's burly figure was particularly conspicuous. Coupled with his messy hair and full beard, he scared many of the little wizards as soon as he appeared.

Kyle even heard crying.

Although Kanna didn't cry, she wasn't in good shape either. She grabbed Kyle's arm tightly, making him grimaced in pain.

But seeing Kanna's horrified look, Kyle was too embarrassed to pull it out directly and could only hold it in.

He also didn't understand how an eleven-year-old girl could be so strong.

"My name is Rubeus Hagrid, the keeper of the keys to Hogwarts." Hagrid waved to the crowd and said, "Follow me, first-year students. Watch your step. I will take you to Hogwarts by boat."

Kyle was the first to follow, bringing Kanna to the dim light, which was also the brightest place around.

At this time, Connor calmed down a lot. She quickly let go of Kyle's arm and blushed as she stammered, "I'm sorry."

Unfortunately, her voice was too soft, and there were always noises of other people startling around, so Kyle didn't hear clearly what she said and just nodded subconsciously.

…

In order to take care of the first-year wizards, Hagrid walked very slowly, and it took the group more than twenty minutes of stumbling and falling before they finally finished walking along the steep and narrow path.

After passing the last bend, Hagrid turned to look at everyone, and pointed forward with a smile on his face: "Come on, you will see Hogwarts for the first time soon, don't be distracted, this is the most beautiful scenery in the wizarding world."

What followed was a series of gasps and screams.

Kanna stood beside Kyle, staring blankly ahead, muttering to herself, "So beautiful...!"

At the end of the path is the famous Black Lake. On the towering hillside across the lake stands a majestic castle.

The castle is full of spires, which shine against the bright moon, making it seem as if it is built on the clouds.

The windows on the castle that are shining with lights are the stars that dot the sky.

It is so beautiful, like a miracle.

Even Kyle was stunned.

He once suspected that the reason why the Hogsmeade platform was in such a dilapidated state was to set off the scene before him.

"Alright, freshmen, let's prepare the ferry. Don't keep the professors waiting too long." Hagrid pointed to a group of small boats parked by the lake and said loudly, "Remember, no more than four people can be on each boat."

Kyle and Connor boarded the nearest small boat, and were followed by two unfamiliar first-year wizards, also a boy and a girl.

Judging from their looks, they must have been extremely excited. Even after getting on the boat, they kept muttering that they must write a letter to tell their families about this scene.

"Are you all on board?" Hagrid, sitting alone in a small boat, turned back to confirm: "Well then... let's go!"

Instantly a fleet of boats moved forward across the lake, past low cliffs, through the ivy that covered the cliffs, and finally into a dark tunnel.
