Starting from the Legacy of Hogwarts, he transformed into the Dark Lord.

Harry felt that the sunset on September 1, 1994, was the most beautiful he had ever seen.

When he and Sakko knocked on the door of Zhang Qiu's private room, he was so nervous that his whole body was trembling, but he was able to start a normal conversation with Zhang Qiu a few minutes later.

Sakola's methods of steer the conversation were smooth and efficient. He started by highlighting Harry's talents by mentioning that "as a transfer student, I met Harry Potter," then moved on to "I was very interested in Ravenclaw House," followed by "Harry told me that he had seen a very skilled, handsome, and generous Ravenclaw Seeker on the pitch," and finally steered the conversation to "Which team was the best if you missed the Quidditch World Cup?"

After skillfully defused Harry's tension, they steered the conversation to a topic that both Harry and Cho enjoyed, leading to a pleasant exchange.

Cho Chang's best friend Marietta was easily defeated by Sarco in a one-on-one fight, which also diverted the attention of another Ravenclaw girl in the box. Cho Chang and Harry were chatting animatedly, and although the atmosphere in the box was clearly heated, the two didn't disturb each other.

Harry, having his first one-on-one chat with Cho, even felt a sense of "a thousand cups are not enough to find a kindred spirit." Cho and he shared a great deal of similar interests; both had talent and a strong passion for Quidditch.

As night fell and the train was about to arrive at the station, the girls needed to change into robes before Harry and Sarkon left Cho Chang's compartment.

"How was it? Did the chat with Zhang Qiu go well?"

"marvelous!"

Harry clenched his fist and spoke excitedly.

"Once we get to school, you might invite her to try out the fire crossbow; I doubt anyone would refuse."

"After all, in the magical world, the fire bolt is like a sports car in the Muggle world."

"One is for Qiu, so you two can ride it together. The rest is just enough for you to build Gryffindor into an unbeatable powerhouse in the Quidditch Cup. Next school year, you should be able to become the Quidditch team's captain, and then the Quidditch Cup will be a sure thing."

"Why next school year? Can't it be this year?" Harry felt that something was off about what was being said.

"Because Hogwarts has special arrangements this year, Quidditch matches will likely be canceled."

"What?!"

Harry stood there, stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

"Dumbledore will probably tell you at the dinner that many of you already know the news, if you've noticed anything new on this year's purchasing list that wasn't there before."

"You mean the dress? Is Hogwarts having a ball?"

Harry followed in Sark's footsteps and asked with a curious look.

"It's a three-way battle for supremacy, and it's been restarted."

"So that's what Malfoy was talking about..."

When Harry met Malfoy, who had come to cause trouble, before Sarkos arrived in the afternoon, he mocked Ron about it, saying that his father's position was too low to be qualified to know about it. But considering the "riddle" that Charlie had told him before he got on the train, Harry now realized that Mr. Weasley wasn't unaware of it, but simply hadn't spoiled it for them.

After changing into their school uniforms, the Hogwarts Express pulled up to the platform, and the young wizards poured out of the train in droves. Hagrid greeted the first-year students, while Sarkos walked with Harry and the others toward the location of the Thestrals.

"It would be a shame not to take a boat to the castle."

Harry nudged Sark with his elbow, looking in the direction of the first-year students.

"But when I'm with that group of little radishes, I do stand out a bit."

"Zhang Qiu is waiting for you, she's just ahead."

"Huh?!" Harry quickly turned his head and saw a pretty girl standing a few meters in front of him, looking at him.

If Cho looked like the actress who played her in the movie, Sarkos might question Harry and Cedric's aesthetic sense. But as far as we can see, Cho is indeed a beauty. It might be a bit difficult for her to be the most beautiful girl in a university, but she can definitely hold her own as the most beautiful girl in a department. I would give her an 8 out of 10, and if someone who likes this kind of thing has her, I would give her an 8.5 out of 10.

"It seems you two had a good chat before. When you get back, be more proactive and ask her out more often, like taking a walk after dinner or riding a broomstick around on the weekend."

"Okay, okay."

Harry chuckled, strode forward, and waved to Cho.

"You've become so familiar with it in just two or three hours?"

Hermione looked at Sarkos with some curiosity. "How did you do that?"

"Because the two of them already have a lot in common, I just arranged for them to meet so they could start a conversation and keep their friends out of the way, preventing them from interrupting."

"Actually, it was Harry who attracted Cho on his own. He's just not good at dealing with girls, but he's not a useless person with no skills or highlights."

It only takes about ten minutes to get to the castle by horse-drawn carriage, which is twice as fast as taking a boat.

Professor McGonagall stood before the wide-open gates of Hogwarts Castle, her gaze sweeping over each student who passed by and entered the castle properly.

When Sarko approached, Professor McGonagall waved to him, gesturing for him to come to her side.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sakho."

Professor McGonagall's voice was calm and authoritative: "I am Minerva McGonagall, Professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts. You should have seen my name in the letter."

"Hello, Professor McGonagall."

Sakho spoke politely. He was almost a head taller than Professor McGonagall, but he had a kind of restraint he felt when facing his high school homeroom teacher. However, this feeling was fleeting, and he quickly relaxed.

"I heard that your previous meeting with Professor Snape didn't go well, is that right?"

"Yes, Professor McGonagall, after all, we had some unpleasant things happen right after we met. A treasure I cherished was wasted because he suddenly appeared behind me. I really don't like him."

"But that doesn't stop me from studying diligently at Hogwarts. I'm studying for myself, not for him, and I believe I will prove that, and you will see it for yourself."

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly at this answer. She knew very well what a bad temper Snape had, so she led Sarco into the castle, but did not walk with the other students.

"Then come with me. You will be participating in the Sorting Ceremony with the first-year students. Hogwarts rarely has transfer students like you. To be honest, I was quite surprised when the Pen of Acceptance and the Book of Admission recorded your name. Normally, they only record underage wizards who are allowed to be admitted to Hogwarts, but you are already eighteen years old."

"Considering your age, I've placed you in fifth year. At the end of this school year, OWLs will come to test whether you have the most basic abilities in magical learning. After all, I don't know if you've studied magic before, but since you've made it onto Hogwarts' admission list, the school has a responsibility to take care of you."

"Thank you very much, Professor McGonagall."

Sakho bowed slightly to her. "I did study some magic before, and I came to England by accident. I am very grateful to Hogwarts for their help during my most difficult time."

Upon arriving at a warm, empty room, Sakho took a bag of Galleons out of his bag.

"When I arrived, I couldn't even find the entrance to the English wizarding world, and I didn't have a penny on me, but luckily the school sent someone to take me to Diagon Alley, where I retrieved some of my treasures."

"I am very grateful to the school for providing me with a scholarship that solved my immediate problem. However, it should be given to someone who needs it more. The extra amount can be considered as Hogwarts' way of repaying my kindness."

The heavy bag contained the pile of gold coins that he had shown Ron earlier. Players can do all sorts of evil, but they can also repay a small favor tenfold. It mainly depends on their mood. Sakho was in a good mood, and money meant absolutely nothing to him.

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Professor McGonagall was also somewhat taken aback when she saw the heavy bag of gold.

"It's not much, just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

As for farming reputation, since I have unlimited money, I'll use it whenever I have the chance. If I wasn't worried about spending too much at once and making things worse, adding two or three zeros to the end wouldn't be a problem. At worst, I'll just buy magic gems to farm money. These things can cost several thousand gallons each, and they're very fast at farming money.

Professor McGonagall had no doubt about Sakho's financial strength, given that a student could casually pull out hundreds or even thousands of Galleons, but this was the first time she had ever encountered something like this.

"I'll go and discuss this with Professor Dumbledore. Please wait here for a moment."
