18. Am I Still In Time Now?

Hogwarts Guide?"

"Who did you arrange this work for you? Huh? Why haven't I seen you?"

A lady in gorgeous clothes and exquisite jewelry was standing at the entrance looking at him up and down.

Cedric has a good memory.

In addition, there are not many pure-blood families left.

So he immediately recognized this lady with plum freckles on her left forehead.

"Hello, Mrs. Avery."

"I'm Cedric Diggory and I'm here to guide new students who are unfamiliar with the admissions process!"

"Oh~ the Diggory children look really good!"

I heard he was a pure-blood descendant.

Mrs. Avery greeted her politely and left with her children.

In fact, it's easy to tell who's coming.

The wizard families entered the station with firm eyes and walked straight towards the nine and three-quarter position.

As for Muggle families, it's different.

They will first eagerly look for a spot between platforms 9 and 10.

Wait until you see Cedric.

They will invariably show expressions of relief.

"Please don't worry, the Hogwarts Express will leave at 11 o'clock, you still have enough time!"

[Correctly guide new students to board the bus in an orderly manner, and 100 experience points will be awarded. ]

"The journey takes about six hours, and there are carts selling lunch and snacks on board!"

"Don't worry after you get off the bus."

"There will be Gamekeeper Hagrid and Dean of Students Filch to guide everyone."

[Inform the new students correctly about the admission system and reward them with 100 experience points. ]

"Don't worry, everyone will have their own bed."

"Yes, there are all kinds of food. If you are hungry and want to eat, you can always go to the kitchen to get it, or you can find me!"

"I'm Cedric!"

[Correctly answer the questions of the new students and you will be rewarded with 100 experience points. ]

Things were not as tiring as Cedric thought.

The wizards who went to school in 1989 were actually born in 1978, when Voldemort was at his peak.

In this turbulent era.

Not many wizards were willing to have children at that time.

It wasn't until after Harry Potter was born and Voldemort was destroyed for the first time that the number of newborns wizards would surge again.

Wait until Harry Potter is in fifth grade.

Hogwarts then will have close to a thousand students.

The current number of students in Hogwarts is only over 300.

The total number of freshmen this year is only thirty-two, but there are quite a few wizards from Muggle families among them, as many as eleven.

Cedric stayed on guard for two hours.

A total of 1100 experience points were received, plus the remaining 200 points, for a total of 1300 available experience points.

He first raised the magic power in his heart to the full.

[Consumption of 800 experience points. ]

[Your initial magic power increases from 42 points to 50 points, triggering the medal: Born to be Extraordinary. ]

[Born to be extraordinary: The upper limit of magic power is increased by 10 points, from 100 to 110 points. ]

"Well, the medal actually has additional bonus effects?"

Cedric suddenly became happy.

Isn't this another channel for improvement?

In the future, as various numerical values ​​increase, I should be able to activate various bonuses.

"Let's go, let's go!"

I glanced at the time and there were five minutes left.

Cedric rushed into platform nine and three-quarters with the sign in hand.

The crimson Hogwarts Express was parked next to the platform.

Woo~woo!

The chimney of the steam locomotive emitted thick black smoke amidst the sound of the whistle, reminding reluctant people that the Hogwarts Express was about to leave.

Cedric is very agile.

He quickly passed through the chattering crowd, stepped on the pedal and quickly jumped into the car.

The first few carriages were already crowded with students.

Cedric, who had spoken a lot just now, was already a little tired. He walked all the way to the back, found a quiet car, locked it, and began to lie down and rest.

Wake up.

It's already noon.

Cedric opened the carriage door so that he could buy himself some more food when the dining car passed by.

As a result, the dining car didn't come.

However, a pair of twin brothers with fiery red hair passed by first.

"Hey, look, who is this?"

"Hey, let me think about it, ah, by the way, isn't this our great good man, Cedric?"

"Oh, by the way, good guy Cedric! He's so good at pretending!"

The reason why Fred and George were so mean to him was.

That's because at the entrance.

Mrs. Weasley praised Cedric so much when she saw him. While praising him as someone else's child, she also taught the two brothers a good lesson.

Cedric knows the charm of men.

In fact, it lies in strength and humility.

As a guide, that's how he shows his humble side. Now that the Weasley twins are shining over him, he has to show his strong side!

"Transfiguration!"

One second later.

Cedric in Kung Fu Panda form opens his mouth in a condescending manner.

He let out a long roar towards the two of them.

"Roar!!!"

Roars and spittle flew everywhere, murderous intent and fishy smell danced together!

"Ahhhhh!"

The Weasley twins, with their faces covered in saliva, fled instantly.

"Mom, there is a bear..."

"There's a big bear!!!"

"Black and white..."

"Like a devil!!!"

Because he ran too fast.

The Weasley twins collided and fell to the floor of the corridor at the same time, and then crawled away on all fours at high speeds.

How embarrassing to be!

"It's finally quiet!"

The next time.

Cedric soon waited for the dining car.

He stared blankly at the rapidly passing pastures and plains outside for a while, until the sky gradually became dark.

Finally, the Hogwarts platform arrived.

"Freshmen! Freshmen come over here!"

Cedric was still in the car.

Then I heard the shouts of Hagrid and Filch.

Speaking of which, did Filch appear here, or was he the one who suggested it? I wonder how he did it?

He did not rush to get off the train with others.

Instead, he waited until the end, jumped out of the train car, found the group of first-year students, and followed them at the back.

"All freshmen, follow me!"

"Watch your step!"

Hagrid's tall figure led the way holding an oil lamp.

Filch quickly found Cedric, who was standing at the end of the team.

He said coyly:

"Cedric, do you think it's still too late for me?"
