At King's Cross Station

Unlike the Weasley, Ryan and his group didn't need to rush to prepare everything.

Because they can return to Smith Castle at any time.

So even if they don't bring anything with them and travel light, Ryan and his team can still manage.

But life always needs a sense of ritual.

Penelope is that kind of person.

It's like choosing to write a letter when you could communicate directly with someone.

Penelope also had a unique quirk when it came to going to school.

Even if Ryan snaps his fingers, the Supreme God can complete all the steps of mind reading, spatial transfer, spatial expansion, and stuffing into the box in an instant.

She insisted on personally packing everything she could use at Hogwarts into boxes.

Old Jack stood to the side with a sullen face.

This stubborn House-elf took Penelope's actions as his dereliction of duty.

However, loyalty to one's master's orders is the first law for House-elf.

So even though he wanted to help the host pack his luggage, he could only stand there, motionless.

Ten minutes later, after Penelope finished packing her luggage.

Ryan hasn't said he's leaving yet.

Kate, the monkey next to them, took Ryan and Kate's hands and walked forward.

Clearly, she was no longer bothered by it.

Passing through the familiar gray membrane, the next second they found themselves inside King's Cross Station —inside the walls, at the actual platform where the train to Hogwarts stops.

They looked up and saw the Hogwarts Express, its scarlet steam engine puffing smoke above the platform, which was filled with wizards and witches seeing their children off.

"Alright, kid, we should go now." Kate let go of Ryan's hand and took Penelope's hand, heading towards the train.

"But."

"You mean you have the ability to create clones, right?"

"You should spend more time with the newcomers." Kate turned and made a face.

Seeing that Ryan was still a little hesitant, she continued, "Have you forgotten that Penelope is the student council president?"

Neither she nor I have time for you.

Penelope, standing to the side, nodded in agreement and disappeared into the crowd.

"." Ryan.

He had no choice but to turn his head and look at the platform.

On the other side of the platform railing, Harry and his friends just passed through the wall.

Neville, Draco, and Harry have all temporarily separated from the Weasley.

Because across from them, Neville's Auror parents, and his grandmother Trevor, who was holding Neville's toad, were waiting for Neville.

Neville almost immediately threw himself into his mother's arms, his eyes reddening.

Draco's father, his fiancée Pansy and Crabbe, Goyle were also waiting for Draco.

However, perhaps it is because of his identity.

Lucius Malfoy stood a little distance away from Neville's parents.

Their relationship was also more reserved, with a strong emphasis on so-called "property."

So Draco didn't run over like Neville did.

Instead, he walked slowly with a very dignified gait.

However, Pansy seems to have a different opinion.

She suddenly pounced into Draco's arms.

As for Sirius, he headed straight for the Weasley family.

This caused Harry to let go of Ginny's hand and, not having gone far, to return to the Weasley.

Ryan could never get enough of these things.

Because these scenes, which would not have been possible in the original timeline, were all created by his guidance.

He was as engrossed and self-satisfied as a director watching his own film.

Especially since he will soon be guiding a grand ritual involving Bleach and violating the laws of nature.

What kind of expression would Snape have on his face then?

Dumbledore and Grindelwald still able to keep their composure and remain calm and collected?

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The villain's cackling laughter echoed through the crowd on the platform.

This isn't because Ryan is shameless.

Rather, it was because he, as before, concealed his whereabouts.

People around him would ignore him, pretend not to hear him, and subconsciously move away from where he was standing.

And so, laughing, Ryan disappeared from the spot.

In a carriage further inside the train, Ryan, who was pretending to read a book next to Hermione and Luna, shivered.

For Ryan, the removal of the extra form was as refreshing as suddenly getting air conditioning on a hot day.

Meanwhile, on Harry's side...

After saying goodbye to Sirius, he soon reunited with Ginny and the others.

Draco and Pansy have already boarded the train.

Fred and George ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It's said they went to find Lee Jordan.

But Ron said they must have gone to see Angelina.

They were both interested in her.

However, the two left their luggage behind.

Bill and Charlie had no choice but to act as porters of their luggage.

Bill originally intended to use magic.

But after Charlie showed off his muscles, and Harry and Neville easily lifted the obviously heavy box.

His sense of male pride led him to choose to use physical strength rather than magic.

"Damn it!" Ron complained, carrying the suitcase.

He regretted forgetting something.

That is, their luggage was all taken care of by the House-elf of Hogwarts.

He could easily have found an empty carriage to sit in first.

Then leave your luggage where you are.

Charlie and Bill will then help him with his luggage.

Later, the House-elf will deliver his box to his dormitory based on the name on the box.

Charlie and Bill led the way to the end of the train, past the full carriages, until they reached a carriage that looked quite empty.

They put all the suitcases on the rack, and then put Hedwig on the luggage rack.

Then he got off the train and said goodbye to the Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, and Charlie.

"You must be careful at Hogwarts."

Remember to stay away from Durmstrang people, especially.

"Their headmaster, Karkaroff, is Death Eaters," Mrs. Weasley said solemnly.

She looked into the eyes of each of her children.

"Isn't there Grindelwald?"

"Isn't he in danger?" Ron asked.

Mrs. Weasley glared at Ron. "He's being watched by Dumbledore!"

Ron shrank back.

"Karkaroff is a two-faced guy who betrayed all his colleagues to get himself acquitted."

"With Voldemort about to resurrect, it's hard to guarantee he won't betray us again for his own safety," Mr. Weasley quickly remarked.

He glanced at Mrs. Weasley.

It seems that he wanted to escape the disaster after get off work by doing this.

Mrs. Weasley's clenched fist relaxed, which seemed to have worked.

"Anyway, Potter, you're engaged to Ginny."

"You have to promise me you're willing to protect her with your life." Bill, who had just been sweating profusely from carrying luggage, suddenly looked up and said.

"Bill!"

How dare you speak like that!

"Elder brother!"

"You've gone too far!" said the Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Charlie.

"I promise!" Harry said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Bill smiled and hugged Harry.

At this moment, he seemed to have truly acknowledged Harry as his sister's fiancé.
