Chapter 66: The Train(1/2)
After a brief period of darkness, the Williams and his family entered the platform of the Hogwarts Express.
A Victorian-style crimson steam locomotive is parked next to the platform.
The sign hanging on the train reads: Hogwarts, eleventh.
Looking back, the place where the ticket gate was originally turned into a forged archway with the words, 9? Platform.
The surrounding scenes, coupled with the way of entering, give the Williams family a feeling of time and space traveling.
Especially after adding this antique steam locomotive next to it, it looks even more like it, making people wonder if I have traveled back to the Victorian era.
In fact, the rest of the people on the platform thought so. They looked at the classical station with surprise, with different expressions on their faces, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, touching them east and looking around.
Yes, there are already many passengers here. The first few cars are full of people talking to their families through the windows, and some naughty children are playing in the carriage with some excitement.
Not far from William's family, two women were explaining something earnestly to a yellow-haired child.
That should be the one that Daniel accidentally ate magic props and changed sex before, William's family guessed.
These people should be students and parents who are going to study in Hogwarts.
Due to the lateness before, the Williams family had hardly seen anyone other than Darnell and Curlow. Now when they saw the family who came to send their children to Hogwarts, their uneasiness became inexplicably quiet...
...
beep!!
With the long whistle, the train gradually slid out of the station under the gushing of steam.
"Sherlock, remember, you have to eat all three meals well, and you have to wear more clothes when it's cold."
Watching the train get farther and farther away, Anna shouted loudly at Sherlock with some concern.
Sherlock stood on the window by the corridor and waved his hands at the two of them.
Until Sherlock completely disappeared from their sight, Anna finally couldn't help but turn red in an instant.
Leon patted his back and comforted him.
"Okay, isn't there still winter and summer vacations? I'll be back in a few months."
"What do you mean by months!" Anna said excitedly, "He is only eleven years old and wants to leave home and live alone for so long. What if he doesn't eat on time? What if he is bullied by his classmates? Wan..."
As she said that, Anna's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.
Leon hugged Anna in his arms and patted her back gently.
"Since you are so reluctant to leave him, it would be great if you don't agree to send him to learn magic from the beginning."
"What do you know!" Hearing this, Anna pushed Lake away with dissatisfaction.
"This is something Sherlock likes to learn, and it's definitely better than having your antiques!"
Lake: "I..."
...
"Huh~ I finally got rid of them."
Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief, and looked for his seat in these cars with excitement on his face.
The first few train cars were already full of people, and children were playing in the corridors in the corridors. The entire train was basically full of teenage children, and they were very noisy.
It is worth mentioning that when she reached the middle, Sherlock actually met Daniel.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Although it was only a few hours since the last meeting, Sherlock was still surprised and said before he could speak.
"Finally found you Sherlock, your father left something with me."
As he said that, under Sherlock's puzzled gaze, Darnell lowered his head and said softly.
"Come out and meet your new master."
A cute little otter drilled out from Daniel's neckline, and it was an extremely rare white otter.
After seeing Sherlock, the otter's eyes lit up, and he jumped gently and flew out of Daniel's neckline, pounced on Sherlock's arms, rubbing his clothes intimately.
"Red beard!"
Sherlock held the otter and shouted its name in surprise. He raised his head and said in disbelief.
"Is this really my father gave me? But he is not..."
Hogwarts allows pets to be brought, and even written into the admission notice as a suggestion, but it is just a suggestion, not a rigid requirement, mainly because most students who enter school have not had such a long experience of staying away from home. Keeping a pet can greatly alleviate the loneliness when they first enter school.
These pets are from the Tomb of Forgotten, and are highly intelligent products that have been specially cultivated and trained. In addition to being unable to speak, they can understand your words well. They will comfort you when you are unhappy, and will also be happy with you when you are happy.
When she was in the Forgotten Tomb, Sherlock almost caught a glimpse of the white otter at a glance and named it Redbeard.
That was his favorite name for one of his pirates.
But Leon opposed buying pets, and he had a big fight with Sherlock.
At that time, his original words were: Studying is learning, what kind of pets should you keep!
There was no way, Sherlock had no say, and could only leave the Forgotten Tomb with tears in his eyes. At that time, he cried all night.
"He returned the second time the night after you left, and bought the otter and handed it to me for me to hand it over to you, and told me not to tell you that he bought it for you."
Daniel seemed to realize something, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
"I didn't say anything, and you didn't hear anything, so I left first."
After saying that, he rushed to the front of the car quickly.
Sherlock watched Daniel gradually leave his sight and looked at the red beard in his arms for a moment.
Then he smiled again, touched the red beard in his arms happily, and continued to walk towards the rear of the car.
Finally, he finally found an unfilled carriage at the rear of the car.
"Is there anyone here?" Sherlock asked with his head protruding.
There were two people in the carriage, one with black hair and black eyes, with a gloomy temperament, while the other was a little fat man with black brown hair.
"No, come and sit here!" When the little fat man saw Sherlock, he patted his seat in surprise as if he had seen a savior.
Sherlock sat down with a red beard in his arms.
"Hello, my name is John H. Watson, what are your name?" said the little fat man very enthusiastically.
"Sherlock William."
Seeing that Sherlock was a person who could communicate, Xiao Watson was even happier. He had just chatted with the Internet Yun member in front of him for a long time, but he didn't reply a word, and he was about to die of embarrassment.
"Are you excited? Sherlock, you will soon learn the legendary magic and become a magician."
"fine."
"How did your parents believe in magic? I was at that time a professor named Severus Snape came to me. At that time, my parents thought he was a liar, and they spoke rudely and even insulted him. He turned into two frogs. If my sphincter hadn't been more developed, I would have almost bleeded."
Watson said with an excited look, and he was so scared at all.
"At that time, I was a senior who came to us and performed a momentary movement."
"It's great to move instantly." Watson said enviously, "I want to see it too."
"He killed my "parents."
At this moment, Gathia in the corner suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of both of them.
"What...what?" The two thought they didn't hear it clearly.
Gathia's eyes remained the same, "He killed my "parents."
Sherlock and Watson had disbelief on their faces, "Are you kidding?"
Gathia shook her head and said seriously.
"He killed them and saved me."
Sherlock Watson:???
As he said that, he pointed to the red beard in Sherlock's arms.
"What's that name?"
"It's called Red Beard, do you want to touch it?"
Gaitiya: "Can...can it be?"
"Of course." Sherlock smiled, then handed over the red beard in his hand.
Gathia carefully took the otter and gently stroked it as if he was treating a peerless treasure.
It seemed that he was a little emotional when he was touching the scene, and his words began to grow.
"I had a rat before, but it was not that big. Every day I would share food with it and chat with it, but then it was caught in a rat rack."
"This is not a mouse, this is an otter, don't you recognize it?" Watson said strangely.
Gathia shook her head empty eyes.
"What's your name?" Sherlock asked.
