Chapter 151 New school year, new atmosphere
Linde walked into the station and saw many tourists between platform nine and platform ten.
They are not wizards, but Muggles. Since reading Lockhart's biography, the whole world has known that there is such a magical platform at King's Cross Station in London. There is an endless stream of people coming to check in every day. Because it disturbs public order, a cordon has to be put up between the two platforms and their use has to be suspended.
Many Muggles are studying this wall. They touch left and right, but they can't find anything unusual. When Linde arrived at the train station, he saw a thin man dressed as a worker looking at the wall with a small hammer to check for hollows. The fat man also tried to knock a piece of his head off the wall.
If it weren't for the patrolmen who were keeping an eye on the situation, platform nine and platform ten would have been connected in less than half a day, given the quality of the British people.
Today is the first day of school, and many Muggles are specially guarding the students at the station. If they catch anyone wearing strange clothes, they will go up and question them.
The [Confusion Curse] commonly used by wizards to expel Muggles has no effect in this case. The function of this spell is to give Muggles a psychological suggestion, rather than forcibly modifying their cognition. Everyone is rushing to Platform 9 , the subjective will is strong enough to suppress distracting thoughts.
However, Hogwarts has made arrangements, and the owl sent a letter in advance, informing the students to take a detour through the underground passage. Some students from well-off families simply do not take the train this year and use other methods to return to school.
There are several rows of entrance signs to the underground passage in the station, and there are three signs next to platform nine. Muggles come and go, but they can't see the content on them.
All around you, but invisible, this is the magical world of the "Harry Potter" universe. Mystery is its background and fantasy is its root. Muggles can hunt wizards as they did in the Middle Ages, but mystery and fantasy cannot be killed. The original wizards came from Muggles themselves.
Linde took the underground passage to the platform. There were many fewer students here this year. It was still quite some time before the train departed. Everyone put their luggage in the carriage and ran outside to chat because it felt stuffy inside. Piles of twos and threes.
The faces of the children in the lower grades are still carefree, and the students in the upper grades like to get together to discuss current affairs. The students of the four colleges have different attitudes towards the Lockhart era.
Ravenclaw and Slytherin students were quarreling. Both sides wanted to distance themselves from Lockhart. One side said that Lockhart was your Ravenclaw, and the other side said that this bad guy was almost separated. Come to you Slytherins!
The Gryffindor students all had their chests out and their bellies protruding, all in the posture of generals and politicians. They were talking about possible wars in the future, and their faces were red and their ears were red.
The senior Hufflepuff students were with the lower grades, and they talked about the most practical things, that is, what to eat at the opening banquet this year, guessing the new changes in the school, and looking forward to meeting the new professors.
The Hogwarts Express departed on time, and Harry and Ron showed up on time, without being reduced to driving a flying car—driving a flying car was not a particularly pleasant experience.
"There was a house-elf that tried to stop us," was what Harry said. "I knocked it out. Put it in a suitcase."
Ron added on the side: "We did it very cleanly and no one saw it."
Listening to these words, they don't look like students, but two kidnapping bandits.
Linde was very pleased. As a former educator, he was able to cultivate such a little piranha for the British wizarding world, which was considered a contribution to the country. He reminded: "House elves are excellent housekeepers and helpers. As long as you treat them sincerely, you can gain their friendship."
"This elf has an owner." Harry expressed regret. "Even if he gains friendship, he can't help me. He keeps hurting himself when he mentions his owner."
"House elves are like this, they are very servile. Choosing a master is choosing their fate, and they are willing to surrender to their fate, which makes them feel at ease." Linde smiled nostalgically, "My Kali is from I bought it from someone else. Sometimes I feel like I have a little pet, but the difference is that he is much more obedient than all cats and dogs. Since you can play your fate, be gentle."
Hermione held her cheeks together, "Mr. De Lin, you are so kind. I also want to save these elves."
"This matter is not easy, but I believe you will do it well."
Harry said thoughtfully, "Maybe I can find a way to set this elf free."
For a while, the four children chatted. Of course, Hermione, the know-it-all, was mainly talking about Ms. Moonshadow's experience of staying at the Granger house.
Women often behave in shocking ways, such as drifting instead of walking. She didn't care much about her clothes and simply forgot to wear them all the time. She had no idea about money and didn't care about traffic rules. She needed Hermione to accompany her every day when she went out. Moon Shadow was satisfied with all aspects of the other world, but complained more than once about the British currency conversion mechanism. One pound was exchanged for twenty shillings, and one shilling was exchanged for twelve pence. It was really inconvenient.
In addition, she always used magic without any scruples. Once, because she liked a kind of breakfast cereal, it rained cereals all morning in the urban area where Granger's family was located, and bags of packaged cereals fell down. cause street congestion.Another Sunday, when everyone visited the church, they turned Jesus on the cross into their own image.The neighbor's youngest son drowned unfortunately while swimming, and Ms. Moon Shadow was brought back to life by the way when she followed Mr. and Mrs. Granger to the funeral.And so on, Moonshadow has brought many surprises to Muggles during this time of exposure for the wizarding world.
Generally speaking, living with Yueying is like living with a Doraemon at home, except that she is not a blue fat man, but a big beauty.
The other three listened with gusto.
Hermione's story captivated many listeners, and everyone's appetites were whetted by the amazing new professor.The boys are most concerned about her appearance.This boy Ron proudly announced the authoritative news: "Big beauty. She has a very good looks."
"How high is it?"
"It's as high as three or four stories."
"Really? Are there any photos?" Everyone expressed doubts, "It's not that we don't believe you, it's that we want to open our eyes."
Ron clicked his tongue and winked at Hermione. The little girl pretended not to notice. Ron quickly begged, and the students around him also started to say nice things, coaxing Miss Know-It-All into smiling faces. Only then did she choose A photo of the moon's shadow under Big Ben is shown.
"Let me see!" "Don't squeeze, let me have a look."
The noisy carriage fell silent, and then, excited shouts exploded.
George raised his hands high, "All eyes are on me! I declare that I am the student who loves Defense Against the Dark Arts the most in the whole school!"
Fred rarely sang the opposite, "I declare your declaration invalid!"
More excited young people howled like ghosts and wolves, "Damn, why is this train moving so slowly! I can't wait any longer!"
With endless anticipation, everyone waited until the sun went down, and the train finally stopped at the Hogsmeade Village platform.
As soon as they jumped on the platform, the old students noticed that this place had changed. A large number of construction teams had stationed in Hogsmeade Village, and the streets were full of people. At night, the carriage transporting stone resembles a gray line, connecting the village, the processing plant, and Hogwarts Castle in the distance. Wizard craftsmen from all over the world are busy and orderly, like a cheerful ant colony.
Freshmen took a boat across the Black Lake. The old students arrived at the school in a Yeqi carriage. The original Quidditch field has been turned into a construction site. The open space in front of the castle gate is filled with building materials, all covered with thick rainproof tarpaulins. The air smells of paint and wood.
Hogwarts is still grand and bright under the night, covered with wind and frost.
Now, in the hands of Principal Dumbledore, who has a knack for making money, this thousand-year-old castle has begun to expand.
So busy on Sunday. Did everyone have a happy Sunday?
