The train continued to drive northward, and now the window glass was thick and sticky gray, and gradually deepened until the lights in the corridor and on the luggage racks were on. The train was shaking, and the little raindrops knocked on the windows, and the wind became heavier and heavier.

The train seemed to slow down when seeing a mountain and woods beneath the deep purple sky.

"We're finally here." Ron, who returned to Harry's box after the inspection, took his eyes off the chocolate ball that Fulleg had eaten. "I'm starving, I want to have a big meal... I hope Allen won't remove the chicken legs from the menu..."

"No." Ginny lay down from the window and looked out: "It's not Hogwarts here... Why did the car stop?"

"Then why did you stop?" Ron asked strangely, "Is something wrong?"

Harry looked at the mechanical watch in his hand: "I won't encounter any dementors again, please check..."

The train was getting slower and slower, and the sound of the wheels became less and a voice that was not distinguished between men and women echoed on the train: "In three minutes, the train will arrive at the new Hogwarts platform. Please leave your luggage in the car and we will take it to the school for you."

"Luckily the rain has basically stopped." Ginny took her head back from the window with glory. "Ron, we have to check the carriage. Is there a little wizard who fell asleep and didn't get off the car."

"Don't bother me, there will be other seniors to do it." Ron waved his hand impatiently, ignored Ginny, and asked Harry and the others to get out of the car. The cold at night made everyone shudder.

The train slowed down faster and finally stopped. The passengers pushed and shoved, rushed towards the door, and went down to a newly built platform, which was much more impressive than the black and small one before.

After seeing this scenery, Harry and the others walked out with the crowd. Then they turned a corner and left the platform. A huge wall suddenly appeared in front of them, which was built next to the site.

"Is this the boundary of Hogwarts' previous expansion plan?" Neville hugged Lai Fu, who he didn't want to move, and looked through the empty pits that could not see the end on both sides. "There are brackets inside... This is really deep."

"The railway is here? There is no railway any further... The previous platform was changed to so far from Hogwarts?" Dean Thomas's complaining voice came, "We can't catch the dinner even if we take a carriage..."

"Let me see where Hogwarts is...I didn't even see the Black Lake." Simo looked at it, his mouth wide open, and he said blankly, "Are the shadows in front of them the city wall? It's really weird..."

Then some fluorescent flashes light up from the other side of the wall, and some figures in robes came over: "Pupils of Hogwarts, please come here!"

Seeing someone's guidance, this made the young wizards who didn't know the way because they were different from previous years.

Harry noticed that the Aurors in the H94 uniforms who were in charge of guarding Hogwarts had disappeared without a trace, and instead they were similar to those of them, but the color matching was black and wizards wearing ancient protective robes.

"Who are these people? Or are the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic changing again?" Justin Finrie used his arm to hit Ernie McMillan beside him.

"Didn't you see the umbrella sign? The necklace hanging outside the robe is also an omniscient mark? It is the armed force of the umbrella..." Ernie McMillan raised his arm and pointed, and then put it on Justin Finriri's shoulder. "Hogwarts has no Auror... I guess Ai... I guess Principal Harris probably wants Hogwarts to completely transform into the Ministry of Magic."

"But isn't the Ministry of Magic also under the control of Principal Harris's family?" Justin was a little confused. He understood what Ernie said, but he didn't understand why Principal Harris did this.

"Anyway, let's just stop worrying." Ernie McMillan shook his head, he didn't know the specific reason.

Led by the umbrella staff, the wizards walked along the spacious stone road on the very flat platform, crossing a huge arched porch. Compared with the previous ones when they arrived at the platform, they had to walk down a steep and narrow path and stumble down in the dark to the nightshade carriage, the treatment of the wizards was completely different this time.

The crowd left the platform, and the wizards cheered and discussed excitedly. The platform was built on a relatively high terrain. Harry's eyes passed over the enclosed wall, and a very magnificent scene appeared in front of them in the distance. The thick walls did not form square shapes, but were built into one prism after another, and the convergence points between the walls formed very sharp sharp corners.

Above the city walls are triangular fortresses, and very wide ditches are built in front of the city walls. These defensive walls are very thick and very tall. They are all made of hard rocks covered with metal guardrails carved with runes, and look unusually strong and majestic.

Outside the city wall, the ditches outside the flat open space seemed to be like a circle of gaps outside the city.

"Is this a stake?" Fuleg called out, noting the eyes of the surrounding wizards, "This is a way of building an ancient Muggle fortress... It is essentially to turn the castle from a convex polygon to a concave polygon. This improvement makes it possible that no matter how you attack the castle, the attacking party will expose the attacker to more than one bastion surface, and the defender can use crossfire to perform multiple strikes."

"But I don't understand why we built the city wall here so far away from the school? What's the use?" Ginny pulled Harry's arm, "Will the range forbidden phantoms to move so far in the future?"

"It's too far from the Hogwarts residential area, and it's the first time I've been here." Harry was asked, and he estimated the distance in his heart. He found that this was the first time he saw such a magnificent building. "I can't figure it out, if it surrounds the entire Hogwarts expansion area, it won't be enough to pull all the British wizards up there?"

"Why must it be useful?" Ron leaned against the wall, feeling a little proud. "I want me to say that Allen is showing his financial resources. Whether he is useful or not, the largest magic academy in the world is not the Vagado in Africa, but Hogwarts."

"Kids, don't forget the super armored curse shield..." A umbrella wizard who guided the children heard their discussion and spoke proudly, "This wall is actually arranged with many nodes of the protection curse. Most importantly, if activated, it can quickly cast a super armored curse shield with a large range, wrapping the entire Hogwarts and its surroundings... Please pass through the city gate quickly, don't worry, you will be able to arrive at the school soon."

After passing the city wall, the little wizards found themselves in a urn city.

The walls on the left and right sides of the inner walls of the city walls were inlaid with dark black wooden boards, and a row of gilded fireplaces were embedded in the wooden boards. Every few seconds, some wizards suddenly emerged from a fireplace on the left. With a slight sound, some black smoke appeared out of thin air. Some wizards came to this place with some young wizards holding some young wizards, and they carefully cleaned the ashes on their bodies and patted their backs to make it easier for the children who were dizzy and showed their appearance.

In front of the fireplace on the right, there were some employees wearing protective umbrella uniforms, and began to guide the wizards to transmit the fireplace through Floor powder in an orderly manner, diversion of students at the front, making the whole scene very fast and orderly.

"The range of prohibiting the phantom movement is really so large? But many of those children should have not used Floor powder yet. Isn't it very dangerous to use the fireplace?" Neville couldn't help but rub his fingers and said with some concern when he saw the cute chubby faces of the little wizards.

"Well! Many children look too young..." Harry nodded in agreement. He remembered that he had pronounced the wrong place name when he first used the fireplace, and as a result, Floelu fans took him to a very dangerous overturned alley.

"The Floor Network of the fireplace on the right should not be connected to the external range, so don't worry about the children's mispronunciation. Anyway, they cannot do without this range." Ginny looked at Harry's puzzled eyes and explained, "Didn't Sirius tell you? My father complained when he was building a new hut during the holidays, saying that he might have to turn the fireplace extra times at work in the future... But the phantom movement should not be banned in the morning, and I didn't expect the coverage this time to be so large."

"If it weren't for extraordinary times, the barriers that would prohibit phantom movement would only be opened near a few schools." The armed wizard who guided them over explained, "If Hogwarts is too big now and cannot be teleported, it will make us look too like Muggles, which is not conducive to the economy... In fact, today this is what Principal Harris means. He does not want to change the tradition of having to take the train first when coming to Hogwarts, so the school day is special... Of course, the situation of elementary school and university departments is different from you, and they are much more convenient... Well, children, it's your turn, go quickly."

The group of Gryffindors turned their attention back to the fireplace, each with an oak barrel in front of which contained a lot of shiny Flolu powder.

"Although one spoon is only two Sikes..." Ron, who was in front, was a little stunned, "But how many spoons do you need in this bucket... are they free?"

"Yes, the fireplace is free, this red-haired gentleman, please hurry..." the employee of the umbrella urged Ron, "You should go to Hogwarts Station." He had said this sentence many times, his voice a little hoarse.
