Chapter 156 The Closure of the Platform
Chapter 156 The Closure of the Platform
As expected, Ron had to redo all his assignments and papers. Fred and George, though a bit mischievous, were not stupid, and their assignments and papers were quite good.
Then, during the rest of the holiday, Ron was the saddest person, constantly catching up on his homework, and Harry could only feel sorry for him.
He was glad he asked me for help with his homework during the holidays, otherwise he felt that being caught by me would be more terrifying than being caught by the professor.
On the last day of the holiday, Ron finally finished his homework. After I read it and nodded in approval, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Weasley was pleased to see this. She didn't mind that I was so strict with her sons. It was good to be strict. She needed someone like this to help her manage her sons. She didn't have to worry about her eldest sons, but she needed to keep an eye on these younger ones.
"Ayers, thank you for helping Ronnie with his homework. My little Ginny is starting school this year too, could you please look after them for me?" Mrs. Weasley likes me very, very much now; none of her sons are as high up as me.
“Yes, Mrs. Weasley,” I replied with a smile.
I have this feeling that they've forgotten I'm from Slytherin.
The next day, after breakfast, our group took Mr. Weasley's car to King's Cross Station in London, England.
The funniest thing was that, because there were so many of us, apart from Mr. Weasley who was driving, we all sat on top of each other.
Mrs. Weasley was holding Ginny in the passenger seat, Fred was being held by George, Percy was holding Ron, I was holding Harry, and then the car was seriously overloaded.
Luckily, I cast a 'Confusion Charm' on the car so that people outside couldn't see what was happening inside. Then I added another 'Confusion Charm', otherwise the car definitely wouldn't have been able to start.
“Ayers, your spellcasting is truly superb, especially since it was cast without a wand,” Mr. Weasley praised as he drove.
"You flatter me, Mr. Weasley." After casting the spell, I obediently sat down with Harry in my arms.
"Ayers, thank you." Harry was really nervous sitting in my lap; it was the first time someone had ever held him like that. But then he suddenly remembered the gift I had given him, and he was very grateful. His parents' wedding photo was really beautiful.
"I'm glad you like it." I felt Harry gradually relax, and I simply wrapped my arms around his slender waist.

Harry felt my hands were warm. When I wrapped my arms around his waist, it felt really warm. My body temperature wasn't hot, but rather a warm, gentle feeling.
He could also smell a faint blue rose fragrance, not a strong fragrance, just a light floral scent.
"Harry, are you carsick? Do you want to lean over and rest for a bit?" Seeing that Harry seemed a little dazed, I thought he was feeling carsick and uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I don't feel particularly uncomfortable, but I'm a little sleepy." Harry came back to his senses, his face flushed slightly, and he leaned against me shyly with his head down.
"Then lean back and rest for a bit." I gently ruffled his hair and let him lean back and rest.
Harry now understands why Fred and George love leaning against me so much. Leaning against me gives them a sense of security, and the faint scent of blue roses on me is so comforting and captivating. Plus, my body temperature is so pleasant to be around. Who wouldn't want to hug me like this?
When we finally arrived, we got off the bus one by one and collected our luggage.
"Ayers, where's your luggage?" Harry asked curiously, noticing my empty hands.
“Harry, Ayers never carries luggage. Even if he does, it’s just because he wants to.” Fred knew exactly why I was empty-handed.
"Alright, we don't have much time left, or we might miss the train." He helped Percy with his luggage.
"Thank you." Percy had packed quite a lot of luggage this time, including a suitcase full of books. He hadn't expected me to be watching him while we were chatting, and he picked up the heaviest suitcase with one hand.
With so many sons, including Harry and me, Mrs. Weasley didn't come with us to see us off on the Hogwarts Express this year. She and Mr. Weasley dropped us off at our stop and then left on the train.
We entered the pillars in order. Percy and I went into the middle of the pillars first, and after we passed through, we waited for the rest of the group at the Hogwarts Express station.
After Ginny first went through the pillar, then Fred and George, and finally... nobody came.
"What's going on?" We waited for a while but still didn't see Harry and Ron come over.
"Percy, you take Fred, George, and Ginny onto the Hogwarts Express first. I'll go find Harry and Ron to see what's going on." According to the plot of the previous life, Harry and Ron would indeed encounter a situation where they couldn't get past Platform 9 at King's Cross Station.
But haven't I, the butterfly that changed the plot, already lost Riddle's Horcrux?
Dobby still showed up, and this time he really got Harry and Ron into trouble.
“Okay, be careful, we’ll meet at the school.” Percy agreed with my arrangement and boarded the Hogwarts Express with Fred, George, and Ginny.
Percy, Fred, and George trusted me completely, believing I would bring Harry and Ron to school safely.
It shouldn't have been long since Harry and Ron passed through these pillars, so I used Apparition to appear directly in the Burrow.
Back to Harry and Ron, as they were about to pass through the pillar, Harry failed and bumped headfirst into the wall.
"Ouch~ that hurts." Harry, who had been bumped, rubbed his forehead, feeling a bump on it.
"Oh no~ what's going on?" Ron, who was following Harry and about to go over, also stopped in his tracks.
“I don’t know, it seems like we can’t get through.” Harry said, rubbing his forehead and stroking the wall behind the pillar.
"What do we do then? It seems like we're the only ones who haven't gone yet." Ron panicked too, wondering if this meant neither he nor Harry could go to Hogwarts.
“Why don’t we go back to the Burrow first? Ayers might come back to the Burrow to look for us if he finds out we didn’t go there,” Harry said to Ron. He didn’t know why he was so sure that I would go back to them; he just had a feeling that I would definitely come to him.
“Okay, let’s go back to the Burrow first.” Ron didn’t have any better ideas at the moment, so he and Harry could only push their luggage back first.
