144 Nine and three-quarters of a platform
Until everyone left Privet Road and returned to Dream Catcher, Harry still looked a little depressed.
It seems to have been influenced by Aunt Penny.
It seems to have heard something about parents.
It seems that the cause of death of the parents has finally been confirmed.
Maybe.
It has a little bit to do with all of this.
Before leaving, Dumbledore handed them a portkey and two train tickets for the nine-and-three-quarter platform.
"Alright Harry, don't think about it that much. β
Dumbledore bent down, his sharp gaze past the half-moon lenses and into Harry's eyes.
"You're still young, and you haven't even started formal cultivation yet, so you don't have to think about these complicated things. β
"What you need to do now is to wait quietly for the school to open, during this time, you can read books, you can also play with Tang Yuan and Norn, and having fun is the most important thing. β
"As for the rest, I'll talk about that later. β
"I'm still saying that, I'm not trying to force you to make a choice, during this time, you can also think about it for yourself, do you want to learn spells, become a qi refiner, a spell master, or do you want to return to an ordinary life?"
"Of course, I don't think it's a conflict. You can cultivate first, and when you graduate from school, you can freely decide your future, you can choose to live in the Qi Refining World, or you can choose to return to the life of ordinary ordinary people. β
"It's up to you, Harry. β
Without waiting for Harry to respond, Dumbledore stood up, carrying Tang Yuan almost with one hand, and the two of them walked to the corner of the room and began a private conversation.
As for the two of them talking about some privacy, Tang Yuan didn't say it, and Harry and Norn didn't ask questions.
The days are just going on day by day.
Monday, August 27th.
Rona Saban came to Dream Chasing Manor, this time, he didn't come to find Tang Yuan, school was about to start, he came to pick up Norn back.
After agreeing with each other to communicate at any time, Norn reluctantly followed his second brother away.
But before leaving, Rona also whispered to Tang Yuan for a while.
Sunday, September 1.
After so many days of buffering, Harry's heart knot seemed to have been untied, at least Tang Yuan hadn't seen him unhappy during this time.
Since he was going to Hogwarts today, Tang Yuan was woken up by Harry at five or six o'clock in the morning - because of the magic of the nine-and-three-quarter platform that Tang Yuan had told him before, and the future classmates of that train...
In terms of dress, Tang Yuan suggested that the two of them could wear ordinary clothes, and there was no need to wear the Hogwarts school uniform that looked like the ancient costume of the Celestial Empire right now.
The portkey Dumbledore gave them was to teleport to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, where someone would take them to King's Cross Station.
After breakfast, the two of them doubled over the Hogwarts shopping list and re-counted everything.
Then, all the belongings were packed up, and the ones that should be in the boxes were put in the boxes, and the ones that should be kept in the cages were put in the cages - mainly the owl that Hagrid gave to Harry, and Harry named him Hedwig, which seemed to be the same name as in the original books?
With all their belongings and with the help of Pichu, they use the portkey to teleport to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
Today's bar is not so lively, relatively speaking, it is a little deserted, mainly due to the reason for the start of school today, many spellcasters with children have gone to see off their children...
"Aha, Don, it's finally time for you two little ghosts to start school, how is it, how do you feel?"
Seeing them appear, Old Tom greeted them directly.
"What else can I feel, just like that..."Tang Yuan pursed his lips, said perfunctorily, then looked at Tom left and right, and asked, "By the way, didn't Dumbledore say that he arranged for someone to send us two?"
"Uh-huh, I'm going to see you two off, aren't you welcome?"
Old Tom's smile retracted, and his shriveled face instantly became terrifying, and he straightened up and asked rhetorically.
"Uh... You're going to send us two?"
Because they were so familiar with this guy, neither Tang Yuan nor Harry were intimidated by him. Tang Yuan rolled his eyes, very surprised, "I said Tom, is your bar closed today?"
"Dingdong, congratulations, it's really closed today, hahaha. Tom smiled, "I haven't left Diagon Alley in a long time, and I'm going to King's Cross today so I can see the sun, and oh my God, I don't even know when the last time I was in the sun!"
β... All right. β
The ticket shows that the train departed on time at eleven o'clock, and when Tang Yuan and the two of them arrived here, the time was just a little more than a little more - or because Harry was worried about being late, afraid that he would not be able to go to Hogwarts because he was late, although Tang Yuan repeatedly said that it was no problem, but he was still impatient with his noise, so he simply went out early...
After resting for a while at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, Old Tom walked out of the bar with Tang Yuan and Harry.
On the bustling Charing Cross, Old Tom's dress was a little out of place.
It's not just the dress, whether it's the appearance, temperament, or behavior, it's not very compatible with those people in a hurry.
Harry was embarrassed by the stares of the crowd around him.
But Tang Yuan doesn't care, this kind of scene is just a small scene.
In his previous life, he had experienced more embarrassing things than this.
Although Old Tom accompanied them to King's Cross Station, in the ordinary mortal world, not to mention Tang Yuan, an old fritter, he couldn't even compare to the young Harry.
Relatively speaking, Old Tom can only be regarded as a bodyguard.
Whether it's Dumbledore or Tom Sr., or Tang Yuan and Harry, they are all a little afraid of the recurrence of the previous attack.
Tang Yuan stretched out his hand and stopped a taxi from the side of the road, and the driver, together with Old Tom, laboriously stuffed two large boxes into the trunk and the rear seat - the trunk really can't fit two big boxes...
When they arrived at King's Cross Station, the time had just come to about 9:40.
Old Tom stood in the bustling crowd for a moment, and then led the two of them to the middle of platforms 9 and 10.
Before Old Tom could teach the two of them how to get to the nine-and-three-quarters platform, a group of people squeezed out of the side, muttering as they walkedβ
"-Nonsense, this is the world of mortals, not crowded with mortals, can there be qi refiners everywhere?"
