Chapter 411: The School Year Begins
Seeing Sainz standing on the platform with a box, Harry was obviously very embarrassed and stammered to greet him, "Hello... Hello, Sainz!"
"Hello Harry," Sainz drew a circle on his face with his wand, "What happened to you, on your face?"
"Ah?" Harry quickly wiped the blood off his face with his clothes, "Hiss - cough, no - hiss - I accidentally fell."
"Fell?" Sainz pretended to be puzzled, "And then hid and didn't dare to get out of the car?"
Tonks glanced at Harry secretly, and Harry was embarrassed.
"Forget it, just assume that you fell," Sainz indicated that he was leaving, "So do you need me to treat you... or do you want to go find Madam Pomfrey? Or do you want to take it with you as a medal?"
"Treatment!" Harry was almost impatient and quickly moved towards Sainz, "Please help me treat it, it's better not to trouble Madam Pomfrey!"
Sainz stopped teasing him. His wand emitted a white light and circled around his face. Harry's crooked nose and the endless nosebleed were all fixed.
Tonks watched Sainz's treatment process with great interest. "It's amazing. I've heard that you have a wide range of knowledge. I didn't expect that you can even do healing magic."
Sainz smiled modestly, "Not worth mentioning, Miss Tonks has been recruited by Dumbledore?"
"Yeah," Tonks said lively, "I'm the liaison here at the school now, and I'm sometimes allowed into the school!"
"Very good," Saiens waved his wand to greet the carriage in the distance, "If you are bored on duty, you are welcome to come to my office for tea, Harry, and the rest of you too."
"Okay, it's settled!"
"Uh, okay..." Harry suddenly looked at the carriage running in the distance in surprise, "What is that? I always thought that those carriages moved by themselves, you know, they were enchanted... I always thought Luna was fooling around..."
"That's a Thestral!" Tonks explained. "I've only heard of them before, but never seen one. So they look like this. They look a bit like a dragon horse?"
Someone named Cy changed Cedric's fate. Harry did not see his death and had not been able to see the Thestrals. Now he can see the Thestrals because he saw a Death Eater die under the Killing Curse of another Death Eater at the Ministry of Magic some time ago.
The Thestral and Sainz were already old acquaintances. It came in front of Sainz and looked at him with its pure white eyes without blinking. Harry took a step back and said, "It... its eyes are a bit scary.
"You'll get used to it," Sainz took out five pounds of fresh meat and fed it. "Let's go, get in the carriage. This is a carriage specially left for the luggage delivery personnel... wait a moment." He cast a spell to make the interior of the carriage as clean as new, and the musty smell that had lingered for years disappeared.
After several people got in the carriage, the Night Thestral pulled the carriage forward quickly. Tonks asked curiously, "Autumn, how did you come up with the idea of staying on as a professor?"
Sainz smiled and said, "That's how I thought of it. I didn't know what I could do after leaving school, so I applied to Dumbledore to stay on. I didn't expect that he would agree. I didn't expect to become a professor at first. I was just an assistant teacher at first. Harry can testify to that."
Harry had been distracted for a while, and when he heard Sainz's words, he nodded mechanically, "Yes...right...Sainz was Hagrid's assistant at first!"
Tonks nudged Harry. "What are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Ah, nothing!" Harry said evasively, "I...I...I'm a little hungry, and was thinking about the delicious food at the banquet."
Tonks seemed to accept this reason immediately. "It will be soon. The freshmen will be sorted and dinner will begin... Oh... I'm a little hungry after being so busy today. It's a pity that I can't attend the opening banquet!"
Tonks believed what Harry said, but Sainz didn't. Not to mention that he was sitting opposite him and saw his expression clearly, Harry's boiling thoughts alone betrayed him. It was very difficult to lie in front of a master of Legilimency.
There is no need to ask, Harry had just suffered such a big loss from Malfoy, he must be thinking about how to retaliate.
It didn't take long before the carriage approached the imposing gate of Hogwarts, which was tightly closed.
Tonks stretched her head to take a look. "Oh no! The door is closed. You can't get in!"
Harry was startled and suddenly perked up. "What should we do? Should we climb over the wall?"
"No!" said Tonks in amazement. "The walls are all covered in anti-intrusion charms. Dumbledore enchanted it himself. The security measures have been strengthened a hundred times this summer!"
"What should we do then?" Harry asked anxiously, "By the way, what did you say just now about you two?"
"I can't go in," said Donk. "I'm not a member of the school anymore."
Sainz looked at the two talented individuals calmly and listened to their discussion with great interest.
The Thestrals pulled the carriage to the door and Tonks got out. "Don't worry, Harry. Someone will come to pick you up."
Sai stuck his magic wand out of the car window and sent a tag with his identity signal in the direction of the gate, and the gate automatically opened to both sides.
"..."
"..., thank you, Tonks!"
"Good luck Harry, bye!"
The journey afterwards was unusually quiet in the carriage.
The carriage arrived at the oak gate, and Sainz took the box full of luggage off the car. "Harry, you go in by yourself. I have some other things to take care of. I heard that the sorting has already begun inside."
Harry hurriedly slipped into the auditorium through the door on the side wall of the entrance hall. The moment he opened the door, the applause from the sorting house inside reached Sainz's ears.
Entering a room on the first floor, Sainz clapped his hands, and the elves hiding in the dark appeared one after another.
"Come on, everyone, please work hard for a while," he emptied all the luggage from the storage box, "We will try to send the students' luggage to their respective dormitories before the meal starts."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Autumn... We will definitely complete the mission!"
With more than a hundred elves working at the same time, distributing the luggage is not a difficult task. The key is that they can Apparate in the castle and do not have to run up and down the stairs, which is very convenient.
The students' luggage all had names on them, making them easy to identify. The elves worked hard and it took less than three minutes to get everything done! Sainz even had time to watch the second half of the branch.
After deliberately dawdling for a while, he heard Dumbledore start speaking, then he entered through the small door on the side of the faculty seats, just in time to catch Dumbledore announcing the start of dinner.
The Hogwarts start-of-term feast is always the most sumptuous of the year.
This year was a little different. There was one more person in the auditorium. Professor Trelawney, who never attended the opening ceremony in previous years, appeared in the teacher's seat.
Ha, maybe it’s because of the trick Umbridge played on him last school year. He got scared and finally wanted to show off his presence in front of the whole school…
