Chapter 168 The Hogwarts Express
September 21, the day when Hogwarts Express departs.
On this day, 11-year-old children from all over the UK followed their parents towards the legendary Hogwarts. Of course, before arriving at Hogwarts, they had to find the nine and three-quarters platform that was also the legendary nine and three-quarters platform for them.
Hermione was following Lin Xiao with her parents and heading to the train station. Her luggage was placed in the car. Hermione was nervous and excited along the way. She told Lin Xiao about Hogwarts without listening, and almost everything she saw in the book, but even so, she could not suppress her excitement and uneasiness.
What kind of place is Hogwarts?
At the same time, Harry was following Hagrid, who was three meters tall, on the streets of London. Facing the stunning and curious gazes of passers-by, Hagrid seemed to be no longer surprised.
After walking for a while, they had arrived at the train station. At this time, Hagrid took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it, and exclaimed immediately.
"My God, time has come?" He obviously didn't notice the passage of time. Then he turned around and looked at Harry beside him, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Harry, I have to leave. Dumbledore wants his...he's waiting to see me!"
He almost accidentally told the secret. Hagrid was a little depressed. Then he took out a ticket from his pocket and reached out to hand it to Harry next to him.
"Okay, the train will be opened in ten minutes. Get your ticket, Harry, this is very important. Get your ticket!" Hagrid said solemnly.
Harry nodded at Hager after this ticket.
"Nine and three quarters of the platform?" Harry looked at the ticket in his hand and was surprised to find that the number of the platform on it was so strange. "But, Hagrid. This must be a mistake? It says that Nine and three quarters of the platform. If there is no such platform, is it too much?"
He turned his head and looked at him, but was surprised to find that Hagrid, who was originally standing next to him, disappeared at some point.
"Where is Hagrid?" Harry looked around and looked for Hagrid's trace, but he was not seen for a while.
Helplessly, Harry just pushed his luggage to find the so-called nine and three-quarters platform.
Not to mention that Harry met the Weasleys for the first time because he didn't know where the Nine and Three-quarters platform was, he said that Lin Xiao and Hermione had found the entrance to the Nine and Three-quarters platform with him.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to go." Hermione was a little reluctant to part with her parents at this time. She held Lin Xiao, who had turned into a cat, and placed her luggage next to her.
The Grangers looked at their daughter with a smile, and Mr. Grangers gave her a last word.
The warm picture is always about to end, and time is too long, and Hermione can't delay it.
"Okay, let's go and get along well with classmates." Mrs. Granger let go of her daughter and instructed with tears in her eyes.
Hermione nodded obediently. She placed Lin Xiao on the luggage cart, grabbed the handle of the luggage cart with her little hand, waved at her parents, and rushed directly towards the wall between the two platforms 9 and 10.
The wall was cast with a Muggle expulsion spell, and you had to trot over to enter. Muggle would not run over to hit the wall stupidly. Even if you occasionally encounter a guy who can't figure it out, the Muggle expulsion spell on it can block Muggle outside.
Lin Xiao only felt that his eyes were dark, and the next moment he and Hermione had already appeared on another train platform.
The old-fashioned red and black steam train, looking up, you can see the stop sign hanging on the wall, which reads nine and three quarters of the platform. Hogwarts Express.
"Hogwarts Express, I've read it in the book." Hermione said with an excited look on her head.
At this time, there were many students waiting to get on the platform. Hermione was the only one who came here. She looked at the students who were saying goodbye to her parents. She lowered her head and silently pushed the luggage cart forward.
Lin Xiao turned around and looked at Hermione who was suddenly silent. He thought to himself that this girl was probably homesick.
Soon Hermione and Lin Xiao found the luggage compartment. After putting the luggage in, Hermione carried Lin Xiao to the carriage where the first-year freshman was.
The Hogwarts Express has strict regional divisions. The first-grade people sit in the first-grade carriage, the second-grade carriage, and so on. The class leader also has a special class leader carriage. These class leader will be responsible for the management of the train before Hogwarts. The most difficult part is to manage the class leader who is in charge of the first-grade freshman carriage.
After all, they are freshmen, they don’t know anything and have great expectations for Hogwarts. The one who is most excited about these little guys, so their carriage is also the noisiest and most difficult to manage.
Just as Hermione and Lin Xiao had found their place, Harry was still wandering in the station on the other side, apparently he had not found the damn nine and three quarters platform.
He stopped a guard and asked if he knew a platform called Nine and Three-quarters. Unfortunately, he didn't know at all. If the guard hadn't been for Harry's sake, he would have arrested him now.
It happened that Harry heard a few words in his ears, and the other party's conversation attracted his attention.
"It's like this every year, there are muggles everywhere, hurry up!"
Muggle?
Harry found that he might have found a similar person. He turned his head and saw a group of people pushing the same luggage cart as him.
wizard!
Or a wizard apprentice!
Harry quickly pushed his car and followed, intending to see how they got there.
"Nine and three quarters walk here." The woman with red hair who led the lead said to the group of children behind her.
"Okay, Pasey, you're at the forefront." He watched the oldest boy walk into the middle of the 9th and 10th platforms. Harry stared at him intently, not even dared to blink, for fear of missing something.
Then Harry saw a scene that surprised him and almost opened his mouth wide.
The boy named Passi actually trotted into the wall and disappeared strangely.
Harry reached out and rubbed his eyes, and he sweared that this was the second bizarre thing he had ever seen in his life. The first was of course the scene when Hagrid used magic to call his cousin a pigtail.
"Fred, it's your turn," said the fat woman.
"I'm not Fred, I'm George." The child said, "To be honest, you said you are our mother. But why can't you recognize me as George?"
"I'm sorry, George, my dear." The fat woman said helplessly.
"Just kidding, I'm Fred." The child walked forward after he said that. His twin brother was behind him urging him to hurry up. He must have heard him because he disappeared in a blink of an eye - but how did he do it?
At this time, the third brother walked towards the ticket gate with a brisk step. He was about to reach... Suddenly, he disappeared.
Harry was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, there was no other way, so he pushed the cart over.
"Sorry," Harry said to the fat woman.
...
In a few minutes, Harry had successfully sat on the Hogwarts Express, and he was the only one in the room.
Looking back on the bizarre scenes before, Harry couldn't help but become more curious about the mysterious place of Hogwarts. What kind of place is that?
Just as Harry's mind was full of Hogwarts, the door of the compartment was suddenly pushed open.
Harry turned his head and saw that the youngest boy with red hair that he had seen at the station before was the youngest boy with red hair that he had seen at the station.
"Is there anyone here?" he pointed to the seat opposite Harry, "There are all over the place."
Harry shook his head, and the boy immediately smiled and walked in and sat down.
He glanced at Harry, then immediately turned his head and looked out the window, pretending not to look at Harry.
Harry noticed something dirty on the tip of his nose and wondered if he would remind him.
"My name is Ron, Ron Weasley." It seemed that he felt that the atmosphere in the compartment was too dull, so the boy with red hair, Ron first introduced himself.
"My name is Harry, Harry Potter." Harry also reported his name.
Maybe he didn't know how famous he was, so after he announced his name, Ron immediately widened his eyes and his face was full of surprise.
"So...is that true?" He glanced at Harry's forehead. "I mean, you really have that...that..." He pointed at his forehead, as if he wanted to express something.
"What?" Harry looked at him with some confusion.
"Scar!" Ron looked around carefully, and then said in a low voice after confirming that no one was present.
"Oh~! Yes." Harry didn't think there was anything special about his scar. He lifted up his hair and exposed the scar on his forehead for Ron to see it.
"Oh, it's amazing!" Ron looked at the scar on Harry's forehead in surprise, his face full of excitement.
Harry smiled happily. He seemed very happy to share his things with his new friend, which was obviously something he could not experience at his uncle's house.
At this time, a woman came over in the corridor outside the compartment, pushing a small cart and parked at the door of their compartment.
"Do you want to buy something, kids?"
Ron looked at the food in the car, couldn't help swallowing hard, and then took out his own food in a somewhat awkward manner.
"No, thank you, I'll bring it."
Harry looked at the so-called food in Ron's hand that had been squeezed out, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took out a handful of Jin Jialong from his pocket.
"We want it all."
"Wow~!" Ron opposite looked at the money in Harry's hand in amazement and envy.
Pure friendship seemed to lay a solid foundation at this moment, and the boy who survived the disaster who lacked friendship seemed to have found his new goal.
