Chapter 32: This is not Hogwarts
Strange was completely blinded, what was the situation? he was just holding a half-section of the trolley on the platform of nine and three-quarters, and he was teleported to this one place, and then a man applauded and said that he was welcome to Hogwarts?
Is there a mistake about it, is there really a Hogwarts in this world?Strange felt as if his three views had been seriously affected, and he no longer knew if the man who appeared across from him was really from a Hogwarts student.
In the past, Strange would have thought it was some kind of prank. But since he was introduced to magic, especially after a period of boarding at a chef's house, many of his ideas have changed.
This world is far more extensive than he knows, and after knowing that even a salted fish in this world can be the god of thunder for nine days, Strange feels that there is nothing in this world that he can't accept.
Is there anything more absurd in the world? No, absolutely not! So even if a middle-aged Daniel (Harry Potter) and a young woman Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and someone else came out together, Strange would not be overly surprised.
After all, he already has a big heart and has seen everything. Climbing thousands of mountains and swimming thousands of rivers, Strange now already has a turbulent mind.
The man who appeared in front of him also took out a legendary magic wand, which was the same thing as the magic wand in the movie anyway. Then he also said with words: Quickly appear.
After the spell was recited, a train suddenly appeared on the empty tracks next to it. Looking through the window, the train was full of people, and countless students in magical robes were running around the carriage.
It was as if all the students were on the bus, as the man said, and they were all the ones who were left behind.
"You're late, Mr. Strange. In fact, we should have delivered letters out of your window more than 20 years ago. The gentle man said.
"But unfortunately, our owl had a stomach problem, so it didn't deliver the letter truthfully. Then came the bird flu, and the Muggles began to hunt and kill the birds that appeared in the city. The man shrugged.
Then bad luck happened, Voldemort appeared. You've seen Harry Potter. Actually, the story in the book is true, we hypnotized JK Rowling, and then asked her to write this story. ”
Strange's eyes narrowed, "Wait, you're saying the Harry Potter story is true, why are you hypnotizing J.K. Rowling and asking her to write it down?"
"To keep the kids fantastic. You know what? Today's kids are becoming more realistic. They already don't believe that there is Santa Claus in the world, they know that the toys in the socks were bought for them by their parents, and none of this has anything to do with Santa Claus. The gentle middle-aged man said helplessly.
"You know what? If a child loses the ability to fantasize, they won't be able to learn magic for the rest of their lives. Magic at Hogwarts requires imagination to learn. A group of realistic egoists is impossible to learn good magic. These words of the middle-aged man seemed to be a metaphor for something.
"Children don't believe in Santa Claus, but they never know what Santa has done for the world. When Santa Claus says the phrase "There is no more Santa Claus in the world", you have no idea what he has been through, and it is a painful choice. ”
Strange was a little surprised when he heard this: "Wait, what are you talking about? You mean there is Santa Claus in this world?"
"yes, at least it once was. I don't know how to describe his rank. I don't know if he should be classified as a mage or a god. But none of this matters anymore, that's already the old calendar. Santa Claus is gone, but he at least once existed. The middle-aged man said something that Strange didn't know anything about.
"In order to maintain children's ability to fantasize and innocence, we asked J.K. Rowling to write Harry Potter based on real events and find ways to make it the best-selling children's fantasy literature in the world. ”
"So most of the stories you've seen in movies or books exist, and some of them have been adapted. At that time, Voldemort appeared and disturbed the social order. We were forced to fight him. And that happens to be the years when you should be enrolled. Everything was forced to stop. By the time we defeated Voldemort, you missed the entrance ceremony too. ”
"But by God's willingness, you have reappeared now, and you are exactly on the platform of nine and three-quarters. I can't wait to pull you in, don't worry about the Muggles outside. They wouldn't find out, after all, Muggles weren't good looking, and they didn't listen carefully. ”
Strange inexplicably felt that the man's line was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.
The children frolicking on the train are still chasing and fighting. Train No. 5927 sounded its whistle and roared.
"Please, it's time to get in the car, Mr. Strange. It's not too late for you to start school now. I'm a little old, but I'm sure your IQ is pretty good, isn't it?" the middle-aged man patted Strange on the shoulder.
Strange felt as if his memory was a little blurry, it all seemed real, and he felt as if he had forgotten something important. But he couldn't seem to recall it when he tried to recall.
He was about to follow the middle-aged man to the train to Hogwarts in a daze.
And at that moment, Strange caught a glimpse of the badge that the man wore on his chest. It had a name written on it: Percy Weasley.
The moment he saw the name, Strange stopped, came back to his senses and said to the man named Percy, "Wait! I suspect this isn't a Hogwarts car, and you're not from Hogwarts." ”
The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Because Percy Weasley was a power-hungry guy, he wouldn't honestly teach at a school like Hogwarts. And you've cast a spell on me, haven't you, secretly cast a spell that made my memory lost. I almost forgot that I was another teacher, and my teacher's name: Ancient One!" When Strange said the word Ancient One, the whole world fell silent.
The men are gone, and so are the trains. Platform Nine and three-quarters was quiet again.
A clapping sound suddenly appeared. A man and a woman came from a distance.
