"Wow!"

  The Hogwarts Express was chugging along the railway line through the woods.

  Inside the compartment, Harry shared a large pile of snacks he had bought with his new friend Ron.

  It has to be said that the food in the wizarding world is really strange, even things with a snot-like flavor exist. Lin Xiao once wondered, if the person eating it didn't know what snot tasted like, then how did they know that the multiple-flavored beans had a snot-like flavor?

  Oh~ I got off the topic, but anyway, Harry and Ron were having a great time eating happily. At this moment, Harry's chocolate frog suddenly jumped out of the window, startling Ron with a loud cry. Immediately after that, Ron began to boast about his magical skills, saying he had learned from several older brothers a spell that could turn his old mouse Scabbers' fur yellow.

  Harry's interest came all at once, he had only seen Hagrid cast magic before and no one else!

  No, Ron was also delighted to show off in front of his new good friend, so he took out his own wand and cleared his throat twice, just about to recite the incantation.

  Just then, a little girl suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cubicle.

  "Who has seen a toad?"

  Harry and Ron looked up to see a little girl with long, curly blonde hair standing in the doorway of their compartment, holding a large ginger cat.

  "There's a Na'vi who lost one." Hermione hugged Lin Xiao and glanced at the situation in the compartment.

  Ron frowned and shook his head, saying "No".

  At this time, Hermione seemed to have found something interesting, her eyes staring tightly at the magic wand in Ron's hand.

  "Oh, you're casting a spell? Be quiet then." She said to Ron with some arrogance.

  Ron blinked his eyes, seemingly a bit guilty and coughed twice. Then he waved his wand, muttering to himself.

  "Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, come blow this puffy mouse yellow!"

  The magic wand waved. A bright light flashed from the box where the fat mouse was buried, and the box fell directly to the ground. The mouse seemed to be startled, but its fur didn't change at all.

  Ron blinked stupidly and shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Harry half a second later.

  Harry looked at him with an innocent face, indicating that he didn't know what was going on either.

  Hermione's enthusiasm was now in full swing, and she seemed like a ship captain who had just discovered a new continent, her tone of voice even made Lin Xiao feel her pride.

  "Are you sure that's really a spell? It seems like... it doesn't work very well?" She smiled at Ron, who looked embarrassed.

  "Of course, I've tried a few simple spells myself, and they work quite well," Hermione said, pulling out her own wand. Then she walked straight over and sat down in front of Harry, putting the chair that had been placed on one side for Professor Sprout.

  "For instance..." She raised her hand and pointed her wand at Harry's glasses. "Oculus Reparo!"

  "Ka-ka!" With two loud clicks, Harry's old glasses suddenly repaired themselves.

  Lying on the seat, Lin Xiao glanced over there and then turned his head to look at the spotted one opposite him, also known as Peter Pettigrew, an old friend of Harry's father.

  Hermione fixed Harry's glasses, and he also took them off in surprise. Also because of this action, Hermione recognized the identity of the person in front of her, and she was also surprised to exclaim.

  "My name is Hermione Granger," she said, introducing herself to Harry, then turning her head to Ron, "And you are...?"

  "My name is Ron Weasley." Ron said with a handful of snacks and his mouth full, speaking somewhat indistinctly.

  Hermione clearly didn't like Ron at this time, she casually said "nice to meet you" and then focused her attention on Harry.

  After all, Harry is also a celebrity!

  There was no more idle chatter, Hermione gazed out the window at the scenery. Reminding them that the train might be approaching Hogwarts soon, she picked up Lin Xiao and left the compartment.

  Of course, the little girl who was eager to show off reminded Roen of the dirty thing on his nose before leaving, but poor Roen didn't even notice its existence.

  "Meow~!" Lin Xiao changed to a relatively more comfortable position in Hermione's arms, looking at the sky outside the window gradually darkening, thinking that the train should arrive at Hogwarts soon.

  "So what should I do this semester? Can't always think of myself as an ordinary cat?" Lin Xiao thought about her plans for the next year.

  His main task is to ensure that Voldemort does not die. However, if everything goes according to the plot, it's still far from Voldemort's death, and Lin Xiao doesn't need to worry about Voldemort's safety at this stage.

  And that guy is in Hogwarts at this moment, Lin Xiao can monitor him freely for a year.

  "When I was in first grade, the magic stone could be snatched over to see if it really made people live forever." Lin Xiao couldn't help but pay attention to that piece of stone.

  It's a pity that thing was destroyed, and it would be even worse if it fell into Voldemort's hands. After all, Lin Xiao's current strength is not enough, and if Voldemort were to return prematurely, he might end up being controlled by him, which would put his mission in danger.

  What's more, Voldemort himself is a powder keg, who knows if he will take revenge on Lin Xiao for the warning shot he gave him after his recovery!

  "Firstly, the Philosopher's Stone will definitely not be taken away by Voldemort. Secondly, if possible, I will obtain the Philosopher's Stone and by the end of this semester, I will have broken through to become a Second-Order Yuan Wu Zhe. At that time, with Xiao Yuan Dan's help, it is highly likely that I can break through to the mid-stage of Second-Order within a short period of time, my combat power reaching around 260. I believe that even Voldemort and Dumbledore would not have a combat power much higher than this number." Lin Xiao was confident that he could make a breakthrough in the next two months, and in the following eight or nine months, he was even more confident that he could raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of Second-Order or even close to the late stage.

  All of this naturally has to be attributed to the existence of Xiao Yuandan. If it weren't for Xiao Yuandan, Lin Xiao might not have been able to break through to the mid-second stage even after three or four years.

  At this time, the Hogwarts Express gradually came to a stop. Lin Xiao looked out of the window and saw a huge black shadow in the distance towards the darkness of night.

  So it's Hogwarts then.

  Outside the train, Haig, who was in charge of welcoming new students, had already taken action. He used his loud voice to shout and direct the first-year freshmen to follow him.

  Hermione got off the train with Lin Xiao, her small face full of excitement, looking at the outline of the huge black building in the depths of the night, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

  The first years made their way to Hogwarts in a fleet of small boats, Hagrid bellowing instructions at them as they went. Four to a boat, or it would have been if Hagrid hadn't been in one with only three others; his massive body was squashing them against the sides.

  A line of people finally arrived at the gates of Hogwarts after crossing the lake.

  The first years thronged forward, Hagrid led them to the entrance and left, and the luggage of the freshmen, including their pets, would be sent to their respective rooms by special people. Of course, all this had to wait until the end of the division, and for the time being, these things were all placed together.

  The cat that Lin Xiao had transformed into was also to be taken away, but Hermione refused to agree, and since one cat wouldn't make a difference, the professor at the door didn't force her.

  As they entered Hogwarts, a long corridor appeared before the crowd of new students.

  After walking for about seven or eight minutes, they climbed up a flight of stairs and finally arrived at their destination. Here, Professor McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, was already waiting for them to arrive.

  The shortest yet most warning speech, but it turned out to be a lot of jokes.

  Neville's toad was finally found, but it earned Professor McGonagall a stern look because he interrupted her speech. Neville looked rather embarrassed as he held his toad and returned to the crowd, somewhat shaken.

  After finishing his speech, Professor McGonagall left first, while they, as freshmen, had to wait in place.

  Where there are people, there is struggle; even a group of 11-year-old kids understand this principle.

  Professor McGonagall had just left when a guy named Malfoy looked over at Harry with a smug expression.

  Lin Xiao quietly lay in Hermione's arms, not intending to change this series of bonds. This was none of his business, and he didn't need to intervene. Although his current strength was already considered extremely high in the wizarding world, similar to Professor McGonagall before, whose combat power wasn't as high as Lin Xiao's. Only someone like Dumbledore or Voldemort would be more powerful than him. As for directly dominating the entire world-level existence, Lin Xiao estimated that the opponent shouldn't be in Britain, otherwise, how could Voldemort be so arrogant here?

  The little kids' fight, Lin Xiao was too lazy to join in, watching Harry choose to stand on Ron's side because Malfoy had insulted his new friend Ron, Lin Xiao couldn't help but secretly laugh to himself.

  Professor McGonagall returned in a moment, leading the first years through the doors and into the Great Hall.

  Candles floating in mid-air, the sky outside visible through the ceiling, and rows of long tables, as well as many wizarding apprentices.

  The newborns walked while making "wow" sounds in their mouths, feeling that their eyes were not enough.

  Professor McGonagall led the first years forward and stopped them, while she herself went straight to the staff table.

  Crossing several steps, Professor McGonagall turned around and looked at these students.

  "Before the ceremony begins, Professor Dumbledore has a few words to say," she said. Her face was always so serious, and the first years stood in place with anxious expressions, not knowing what would happen next.

  At this time, Lin Xiao's ears heard that Ron was telling Harry about the horror of the sorting ceremony, and upon hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sneer a few times in his heart.

  Wearing just a hat, what's there to be afraid of?
