Chapter 134: The New Student Asking for Directions
After returning from Diagon Alley, Kael put aside all his concerns and enjoyed the remainder of his vacation, testing the performance of his new broomstick.
After a year, Kael finally got his own broomstick.
It wasn't the outdated Nimbus 1700, nor the more cost-effective Sweep series, but the Nimbus 2000, which had just gone on sale a month ago and had taken the magical world by storm since its release.
This was also the birthday gift from Diana and Chris.
Since Kael had been to Dorset previously, the gift had been kept in his room until recently.
It's undeniable that the Nimbus 2000, as a broomstick sought after by almost all professional teams, is indeed impeccable in terms of performance.
Not only is it fast and stable, but it's also incredibly smooth to use; Kael only needs to touch it lightly, and the Nimbus 2000 will turn in the direction he needs.
With this broomstick, Kael can easily win against the Weasley brothers in the Ottery St. Catchpole Quidditch Championship, even in a one-on-two situation.
The next day, Cedric finally returned from France and naturally joined Kael's team.
The one-on-two situation became a two-on-two.
The result was as expected; Fred and George predictably suffered a crushing defeat.
"This isn't fair!"
George glanced at the old Sweep in his hand and sighed, "The brooms are too different. If we also had a Nimbus 2000... even a Nimbus 1500, you wouldn't have won."
"That's not the most important thing, George."
At this moment, Fred patted his shoulder and said solemnly, "We're about to start school. This year, Kael will definitely join the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, which isn't good news for us Gryffindors."
"Yeah... you're right."
George sat on the ground, looking a bit dejected.
He knew exactly what Fred meant.
With Kael's addition, the Hufflepuff team could smoothly complete the transition between old and new players, and their strength wouldn't be weakened too much.
But it was different for the Gryffindors.
After Charlie's graduation, Gryffindor couldn't find a suitable Seeker to replace him.
Unlike other positions, the Seeker position requires extremely high player talent, and such people are already rare.
Like Cedric, a Seeker who displayed exceptional talent in his second year is extremely rare even in the entire Hogwarts.
Lee Jordan's talent was decent, although not as good as Cedric's, but at least it wasn't too far off.
Unfortunately, he had already decided to become a commentator.
At this thought, Fred and George looked at each other and sighed in unison.
And so, the summer vacation quickly passed.
On September 1st, Mr. Weasley, as usual, took them to King's Cross Station.
At the station, Kael casually observed his surroundings.
But even when he reached the platform, he didn't see any boys with glasses nearby.
Was the timing wrong? Kael was puzzled but didn't think too much about it.
At this moment, Mrs. Weasley suddenly asked, "Well, which platform is it?"
"Platform 9!" Ginny exclaimed, "Mom, can I go?"
"You're still too young, Ginny. Don't talk now." Mrs. Weasley looked to the side and said, "Percy, you go first."
Percy walked into the platform without saying a word.
"Kael, it's your turn."
Kael nodded and followed him in.
At this point, the platform was already bustling with people, many of whom had found their friends and were gathered in small groups, sharing their summer vacation stories.
"Sorry, Kael," Percy, who was walking ahead, turned around and said, "I need to go to the Prefects' carriage first. You know, as a Prefect, I'm responsible for maintaining order on the train, and there's a lot to prepare in advance." As he spoke, he fiddled with the golden-red badge on his chest.
Percy had finally achieved his goal of becoming a Gryffindor Prefect, and he had been talking about it for over a month.
"It's okay, you go ahead," Kael said. "I'll wait a bit longer for Fred and George."
"See you at school," Percy said, fiddling with his Prefect badge again before picking up his luggage and heading towards the train.
Kael remained where he was.
For some reason, it took quite a while before Fred and George finally entered the platform.
As soon as they met, Fred smiled and said, "We encountered a lost little wizard."
"Right after you and Percy left, Mum found her asking how to get to Platform Nine for Muggles," George explained.
"That little girl was so persistent. She seemed convinced there was a platform with a '9' sign here," Fred added.

"That Muggle was really angry," George continued.
"When we came in, we heard him complaining non-stop about how some people waste others' time," Fred said.
A little girl...
Kael was taken aback. Wasn't this Harry Potter? Just then, two more people entered the platform, one after the other.
They appeared to be a father and daughter. The father, who looked around the same age as Chris, had his hair neatly combed and wore a well-tailored dark suit.
As he entered, he curiously examined everything around him, eventually fixing his gaze on the red Hogwarts Express.
Then, a little girl entered as well.
She dragged a large trunk, her thick brown hair hanging loosely around her shoulders.
Upon seeing the girl, the man immediately reached out his hand and said, "Dear, let me help you with the trunk."
"No, Dad, I can manage," the girl shook her head. "I cast a spell on the trunk before we left. It's not as heavy as it looks. I memorized all my textbooks, you know."
"Yes, I know, but Hermione..." The man trailed off as he glanced at the large trunk.
He had carried this trunk down at King's Cross Station.
The weight was almost identical to when he had packed it the night before, indicating that the spell had not worked.
"Just a moment, Dad," the girl said.
At that moment, she noticed Kael and the other two, specifically Fred and George.
She approached them and said, "Thank you for helping me find the platform."
"You're welcome," Fred replied.
"It's no big deal," George added.
Fred and George shrugged nonchalantly, as they considered it a minor matter.
"No, if it weren't for your help, I might have kept searching at the station for a long time," the girl shook her head. "I memorized all my textbooks, but none of them mentioned the platform's location. By the way, I'm Hermione Granger."
"Fred Weasley," Fred introduced himself.
"George Weasley," George said.
