The two of them sat in the car, still not understanding what happened.
But soon, John, Hermione and others swarmed around the car.
George and Fred pulled the door open, stuck their heads in and shouted:
"This is so exciting! Why don't you call us back?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Don't you know how dangerous this is?" Hermione scolded, "Fortunately, John is here. If it weren't for John, you would have been killed today!"
Hearing this, Harry and Ron seemed to remember the thrilling scene before, their faces turned a little blue, and they subconsciously looked at John.
"Thank you... thank you John..."
Harry said tremblingly.
"You should indeed thank me." John smiled and nodded, then pulled Ginny over who was hiding behind the crowd, "But I think you should apologize to Ginny more. This girl is very worried about you."
"Oh! My dear sister! I'm sorry!"
Ron jumped out of the car and held Ginny in his arms.
He was extremely moved.
But he didn't notice that his sister Ginny's eyes were constantly glancing towards Harry.
It seemed that she wanted to be hugged by Harry more than Ron.
This scene made everyone laugh and made Ginny's cheeks blush even more.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
Snape quickly arrived on the scene.
He first glared at John, then turned to look at Harry, and said in a long and sinister tone:
"Ah - the famous Harry Potter and his good friend Weasley thought the train ride was not enjoyable enough and wanted to have something more exciting, right?"
"No, that's not it, Professor, it's the partition wall at King's Cross Station. It..."
"Shut up!"
Snape pointed at the flying car and said, "What did you do to the car?"
Harry, Ron and others looked at me and me, but they didn't dare to speak.
When Snape saw this, he stared at Ron and continued:
"I remember that your father worked in the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Items, right? Oops...it turned out that his own son secretly used magic to modify Muggle items..."
As soon as this statement came out, Harry, Ron and others felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
Snape did not continue to ask any more questions.
He just stood quietly, observing the terrible expressions of Harry and Ron.
Although his expression didn't change much, anyone could see that he was extremely happy at the moment.
At this moment, Dumbledore finally came over with McGonagall and other professors.
They all looked angry, especially Mag, who almost exploded.
This frightened Harry and Ron so much that they spoke directly before they could get closer:
"Professor! Professor Dumbledore, we can explain..."
"I'm afraid it's not necessary." Dumbledore said expressionlessly, "Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick went to the Weasley house, and we have figured out everything."
Ron was so frightened that he almost fell down.
Snape sneered and pointed at the Whomping Willow:
"Professor Dumbledore, these two students ignored the law restricting the use of magic by underage wizards. In the process, they not only almost killed themselves, but also almost caused serious damage to a precious ancient tree..."
"What? Did they hurt the Whomping Willow?" Professor Sprout said anxiously, "There are only a few of these precious ancient trees in the country!"
"It was just a false alarm, Professor Sprout."
Snape spoke and patted John's shoulder proudly, "Thankfully, Mr. John Shafik was here. He stopped Mr. Savior from destroying the Whomping Willow in time and saved their lives."
!”
Professor Sprout patted his chest and looked at John with joy.
Dumbledore, McGonagall and other professors also cast admiring glances at John.
John also smiled and saluted everyone.
"Ahem——"
Snape coughed twice, attracted everyone's attention and said, "Given the nature of this matter, I think Mr. John Shafik should be given 50 points! As for Pott and Weasley!
Get rid of it!"
Snape shouted the last word 'dismissed' very loudly, which made Harry and Ron turn pale with fright.
"I don't think it's necessary to be so harsh. After all, this happened for a reason. Harry and Ron just couldn't get over it in a hurry. They still have to give it a chance."
After John finished speaking, he looked at Dumbledore and saw that there was already a slight smile on Dumbledore's face.
Professor McGonagall beside him nodded repeatedly, obviously relieved.
Snape was probably the only one in the audience who felt the most unhappy.
What a joke!
I want you to have more contact with Michelle. For this reason, it’s okay for you to be among the Gryffindors.
But I didn't let you directly marry into Gryffindor!
Why are you still helping Po Te speak at this time?
Snape stared directly at John, and squeezed John's shoulder with his right hand a little harder.
He felt that there must be a big problem with John's thinking!
"Pah, pah, pah—"
Dumbledore clapped his hands and said, "What John said is very good. It is appropriate to add 50 points to him. As for Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, let Professor McGonagall decide the punishment for these two students."
Snape heard what he wanted to say.
But Professor McGonagall said before he could speak:
"Harry and Ron will deduct 20 points each! Plus, confinement for a week! Starting now!"
"Very good! It's decided then." Dumbledore said, "The sorting ceremony has been delayed for long enough. Let's go back to the auditorium quickly."
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he drove Snape, John and others towards the auditorium, winking at Harry before leaving.
Seeing this, Harry stopped talking.
He wanted to say that school hadn't started yet when they got into the car, so Gryffindor shouldn't be deducted points.
But in the end, he closed his mouth.
Because if you say this, John's bonus points may also be affected.
John saved them, and just now he was interceding for them.
He can't do this kind of thing that benefits himself at the expense of others.
Sighing, Harry and Ron could only follow Professor McGonagall to the office.
On the other hand, after the episode just ended, the sorting ceremony and the dinner that followed went extremely smoothly.
As the youngest sister of the Weasley family, Ginny was successfully sorted into Gryffindor.
This made her three brothers dance with excitement.
Ginny herself was also very happy.
Because Harry is also in Gryffindor.
She couldn't help but be excited when she thought that she would be able to stay in the same college as Harry and get along day and night.
This emotion did not dissipate until the dinner was over, she packed her things and lay on the bed.
After tossing and turning, she stood up quickly, took out a worn notebook and started writing a diary.
This is a habit she has developed recently, and she doesn't write every day, but only when something unforgettable happens.
For example, today.
Today can be said to be the most exciting and exciting day in her life.
Not only was he sorted into Gryffindor, but so many things happened.
Most importantly, she also met John.
John made a really good impression on Ginny.
She even felt that John was almost like another brother to her!
Moreover, this brother would not make fun of her, he understood her feelings for Harry, and he seemed to want to set her up...
As she wrote this, Ginny felt a surge of shame and couldn't help but cover her face.
At this moment, a string of text automatically appeared in the blank space of the notebook:
[Is this John the person who sat in the same box as you on the Hogwarts Express today? 】
Ginny was not surprised by the sudden words.
She had learned about the magic of this notebook a few days ago, and had a very pleasant conversation with this Tom Riddle.
To her, this notebook is like a friend that can be carried around in her pocket.
So looking at the words that appeared on the paper, Ginny didn't hesitate at all and wrote directly:
'That's right!'
The writing slowly faded away.
The diary seemed to be stunned. After a long time, another line of words appeared:
[Ginny, please stay away from that person, he is very dangerous!!]
Ginny frowned and wrote:
'Why? Tom, John is a good man.'
Tom answered very quickly this time. Almost as soon as Ginny finished writing, another string of words floated out:
