"I want to tell you something," Harry said to Hermione and Ron after looking at Professor Lupin to make sure he was asleep.
Harry then told Hermione and Ron what Mr. Weasley had told him at the station.
"How could you find a lunatic who is going to kill you by yourself!" Hermione said in surprise, and Ron kept nodding beside him.
Hermione and Ron had been horrified by the murderous actions of Sirius Black that George and Fred told them.
"I thought so, too!" Harry said earnestly.
"I'd rather stay away!"
Sirius Black's matter made the carriage's atmosphere a little dull.
To ease this atmosphere, Ron, as a native of the wizarding world, told Harry and Hermione about the exciting village of Hogsmeade.
Honeydukes Confectionery sells magical sweets, and the most famous haunted house in the UK is The Screaming Shack.
Harry and Hermione were fascinated by Ron's story.
"We can go to Hogsmeade this semester!" Hermione said excitedly.
Hermione's words interrupted Harry's recovery.
Only then did he remember that he did not have the consent form.
"Harry, we have to go have some fun!" Ron said excitedly.
"Yeah!"
Hermione also seemed very happy.
"I read a book called Wizards' Monuments. That book said a small hotel in Hogsmeade was the headquarters of a rebellion in 1612! We can go well. Visit and visit!"
Hearing Hermione's words, Ron curled his lips; he was not interested in what Hermione said.
"Yeah - have fun," Harry said with a forced smile.
"What's the matter? Harry?" Hermione asked Ethan when she noticed something was wrong with Harry.
"I don't have a consent form -" Harry said dryly.
"The Dursleys didn't sign it for me."
"Gosh, this sucks." Ron sighed deeply.
"Maybe you can get someone else to sign it!" Ron began to think of a way for Harry.
"Maybe you can ask Professor Ethan to sign!" Hermione also began to advise Harry.
"The letter says that the guardian needs to sign it. I don't think Professor Ethan can go individually." Harry's mood was still very low.
"Hey! I heard about George and Fred. They know every secret passage out of the castle," Ron said mysteriously.
"Ron! Don't say that!" Hermione said sternly.
"We mustn't be breaking school rules! The last term was negative because of us! Besides, Sirius Black is still running outside! Harry must not leave school at will at this time!"
Hermione firmly stopped Harry and Ron from having any absurd ideas.
"We can go together!" Ron was still trying to argue.
"We go with Harry! That Sirius Black would never dare to do it one by one."
"Stop being silly! Ron!" Hermione continued.
"That Sirius Black killed 13 people with one magic spell! He can kill us easily!"
Ron finally remembered Sirius Black's murderous nature, and his face paled, "But this is so unfair to Harry."
Ron was still sad for Harry.
"It's alright; I don't care," Harry said in a low voice, his head down.
"Haha, look who this is?" There was a strange sound of yin and yang from outside the box.
The three turned their heads and found that Malfoy had come to this carriage at some point, and behind Malfoy stood his men, Crabbe and Goyle.
"What have you three been doing this summer? Did you go digging coal?" Malfoy asked Harry, Hermione, and Ron, frowning exaggeratedly.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione had both tanned several degrees this summer, while Malfoy was pale and thin, contrasting to the three.
"Ron, I heard that you are traveling to Egypt this summer. Seriously, if your father wins such a prize, the first thing I do is feed your family," Malfoy snarled sarcastically.
Ron's face was flushed with anger. He was about to say something to refute, but Hermione stood up first.
"Malfoy! What's your business? You're here to say that?" Hermione said to Malfoy, standing up.
Seeing that Hermione dared to provoke him, Malfoy's face immediately turned ugly.
"Why do you, Mudblood, meddle in all these things?" Malfoy said savagely, staring at Hermione.
"Hey!" Ron suddenly stood in front of Hermione.
"If I hear a Mudblood or something insulting Hermione in your mouth, I'll cut your tongue right away."
Ron gritted his teeth and said to Malfoy.
Malfoy was about to retort when he suddenly realized that Ron seemed to be telling the truth.
Ron's eyes were locked on Malfoy's face coldly, and he looked like he was waiting for Malfoy to say something to cut off his tongue.
Malfoy felt a hint of timidity in his heart for no reason, but he didn't want to admit defeat.
"Then you can have a good time with your Muggle friends!"
Malfoy said harshly and left the carriage with his two men.
"Malfoy just can't remember the lesson!" Ron growled when he returned to his seat.
Hermione looked at Ron in surprise; it was the first time she had seen Ron like this.
"Hey, why is it getting dark so fast?" Harry said suddenly, looking out the window worriedly.
It was only then that Hermione and Ron noticed it was getting dark.
I don't know when, but rain has fallen outside the window, and it is getting heavier and heavier. Now, the window glass is thick and sticky black-gray, gradually deepening.
The train lights finally turned on, and the train swayed. Rain was knocking on the windows, and the wind was blowing outside.
"The sky has changed so fast," Hermione murmured with a vaguely ominous premonition.
Ron glanced at Professor Lupin, still sleeping, and said, "It's okay, we're going to reach Hogwarts soon."
As soon as the voice fell, the train gradually slowed down, and the train went slower and slower. The sound of the wheels became much quieter, and the sound of wind and rain became louder.
Harry stood up curiously, opened the box door, and looked out. He found that many of his classmates, like him, were looking out.
Suddenly, the train shuddered and came to a complete stop. There was a crackling sound from all the carriages. The sudden vibration caused some students to drop their luggage on the luggage racks. Down.
Then, all the lights suddenly went out, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
"What's going on? What's wrong?" Ron's voice came from behind Harry.
"I don't know -" Harry swallowed, feeling some inexplicable hairs on his back.
"Something is moving outside! They seem to be trying to get into the train!" Hermione's voice came from the box, and she panicked.
