Inside the opened box, a ragged, pointy-eared, big-eyed House-elf, its face filled with fear and helplessness, stared in terror at its unfamiliar surroundings.

Finally, he turned his attention to Lester, because he could tell from the way everyone treated Lester and the fawning expressions on the faces of the others that this boy was the leader of the group.

Hafiz approached the House-elf and explained to Lester, "Lord Lai, Hogwarts is under a spell, so Apparition is not allowed. That's why I suggested we get a few House-elf from the Ministry of Magic."

"However, to avoid revealing your presence, I secretly hid this House-elf. No one knows of its existence, and it can be used to serve you at Hogwarts."

After hearing this, Lester couldn't help but look at Hafiz with newfound respect. He had wanted to insult Hafiz, as that would expose his identity, but unexpectedly, Hafiz had learned his lesson this time.

"Did you come up with this idea yourself?" Lester looked at Hafiz with some suspicion, because Hafiz was clearly not a smart person.

Hafiz gave an awkward smile and said, "Leona came up with this..."

Lester: "..."

Ignoring the embarrassed Hafiz, Lester walked up to the House-elf and looked him up and down.

With its big eyes, pointed ears, protruding little mouth, hairless skin, timid gaze, and emaciated body, it perfectly embodies all the characteristics of a domesticated little elf.

Under Lester's watchful gaze, the House-elf was a little nervous, but in order to make a good impression on his new master, he suppressed his fear and tried to stand tall.

"Since you're so ugly, let's call you Kaka."

Lester paid no attention to the House-elf's behavior. After carefully examining his appearance, Lester gave the House-elf a name.

Kaka was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He had a name now, which meant his new owner had accepted him!

Not only that, Leona, who was standing to the side, was also eager to try and flatter Lester.

"Lord Lai, you have a good pen Kaka is a great name; it perfectly matches the ugly appearance of this House-elf. Truly, Kaka... Kaka..."

According to Leona's plan, he should have quoted a line of poetry at this point and then subtly implied that Lord Lai was a talented writer. However, after all that, he didn't even know which line of poetry contained the words "Kaka".

"Stop your damn bastard, I'm going to school." Lester's face darkened. This bastard Leona thought he was a scholar after only two days of schooling. He had actually been a little hopeful before.

"Hafiz, dress this House-elf up nicely later," Lester instructed Hafiz, turning back to him.

These House-elf are too ugly; you can't improve their appearance with software anymore, so you can only improve them with their clothing and other physical attributes.

After saying that, Lester slung his little satchel over his shoulder, took Toto inside, and boarded the still-steaming Hogwarts Express.

Inside this wizarding station, many wizarding families came with their entire households. For them, attending Hogwarts was perhaps the most important event in their children's lives, so they often came as a whole family, like the Weasley family.

"George Weasley, Fred Weasley, behave yourselves at school and don't let Professor McGonagall write to me about you two again."

"Percy Weasley, you're a good boy. When you're at school, keep an eye on your two younger brothers and make sure they don't misbehave!"

Percy Weasley nodded like a highly regarded general, indicating that he would keep an eye on his two mischievous brothers. Unfortunately, he was met with disdainful smiles from the twins in return.

"And you, Ron Weasley, Hogwarts is a magical school of magic. You'll have a lot of fun learning there, believe me!"

Mrs. Weasley affectionately kissed her youngest son's cheek, waved goodbye, and saw her four children off onto the train.

Not far away, Lucius and Narcissa also had their Young Malfoy sandwiched between them. Lucius, being a chauvinist, pretended not to care, occasionally glancing at his watch and indicating that Malfoy should get on the train, but the concern in his eyes was undeniable.

As for Narcissa, she hugged Malfoy tightly and told Malfoy to study hard at Hogwarts and to tell his family anything that happened.

"Yes, Mom. I will definitely get into Slytherin House. I won't let you down."

Of course, only a small number of people brought their families; the majority of Muggle-born boarded the train alone.

Unlike the Pure-blood wizard who carried Undetectable Extension Bag at their waists and traveled light, these young wizards from Muggle-born could only drag their large bags and bundles as they struggled to climb onto the train.

At the same time, their parents were not allowed to enter the wizarding platform and could only wait near the broken pillar. They were not even allowed to get close, because that would attract the attention of other Muggle.

Most of the young wizards just grumbled to themselves, while a small number muttered discontentedly, "This is the platform we built, why can't we even get close?"

These were all newly enrolled young wizards; the others who had already spent a year at Hogwarts had accepted this phenomenon.

"Hey, Lester, we've finally met again!"

Just as Lester was heading towards the train, Harry's appearance surprised and delighted him.

"Harry, how have you been at your aunt's house this past month?" Lester, showing no signs of awkwardness despite the long separation, readily took the large package from Harry's hands and boarded the train with Harry.

"I've had a good month. My uncle doesn't dare lock me in that little cubicle anymore," Harry said with youthful joy. "They're all terrified of me. Dudley doesn't dare bother me anymore, and my aunt and uncle don't dare yell at me anymore. They even gave the dishwashing job to the machine instead of making me do it."

Although Harry said it with a smile, Lester frowned as he listened.

These perfectly normal things could actually bring Harry joy; just how utterly depraved must the Dursley family have been in the past?

"Shouldn't we teach the Dursley family a lesson?" Lester outwardly joked and laughed with Harry, but inwardly he was already preparing to avenge Harry.

Dumbledore and Harry were not related, so he could simply leave Harry with his Harry and leave him to his uncle's house. But Lester couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

He's a friend of Azkaban, how could he be bullied by Muggle?
