Chapter 5: Platform Nine and Three-Quarters
On September 1st, it was extremely rare for Phoenix not to get up early to wash up without a lazy bed. Eating a hearty breakfast, "Master, do you need me to take you to the station?" Watson put a large glass of cold milk in front of him.
"I don't like apparitions, so I'd better let Eden send me there. ”
After saying goodbye to Watson after breakfast, he disappeared into the palatial dining room with the dazzling flames. Go to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
Eden stood on Phoenix's shoulders, constantly attracting the attention of the students and parents around him, who had probably never seen such a gorgeous bird, oh, if they knew about the phoenix.
"Go to Hogwarts and wait for me. Eden pecked his earlobe lightly, and the flames disappeared. A thin boy with eyes next to him looked at him with great surprise. He shrugged his shoulders and saluted towards the last carriage, not finding Melinda or Draco in the crowd, he had to find a compartment to sit in on his own for the time being.
This year, the famous savior Potter will also be studying at Hogwarts, and he bets Melinda that Draco will go from car to car to find Potter. Because since Draco learned the news, every time he saw Phoenix, he would never tire of saying how to bring the savior to them, and that the savior must also be a Slytherin.
After sitting down, he took out a book the size of his palm, and Phoenix gently touched the cover with his wand, and the book immediately turned into a huge and extremely heavy book, and he didn't have to hold it up like a Muggle to read it, but hovered it in front of him and read it with relish.
The door to the cubicle was pushed open, and a skinny brunette boy and a red-haired boy walked in.
"Is there anyone here?" asked the black-haired boy, pointing to the empty seat opposite.
"Please. ”
"Thank you. ”
"My name is Harry Potter, this is Ron Weasley, what's your name?" he kept his gaze switching between books and Phoenix.
"Phoenix Peverell," he said his name in a meaningful tone, and the book moved down.
"You're a celebrity, Harry" Phoenix stared at Harry's forehead, his magic detection telling him that the lightning-shaped scar was anything but ordinary, and that there was a peculiar magical response.
"yes, I mean, I don't remember anything that happened?" said Harry.
"Don't remember anything?" Ron asked eagerly. Answering in the affirmative, Ron didn't seem to hear staring straight at Harry.
Harry asked in a slightly embarrassed tone, "Are your whole family wizards?"
"Well, of course. Ron realized that he had been staring at Harry and quickly turned his gaze to the aisle outside the window.
"What about you? Ron. ”
"Oh, yes. ”
"I think you're going to have a lot of magic, right?" Harry and Ron looked at the book floating in the air.
"I did hire a Hogwarts graduate to be my personal teacher," Phoenix said, putting away the book, "you know, my family is in Germany, and I was supposed to go to Durmstrang, but my father wanted me to come to England." Last year, when I moved to the UK, I wasn't sure if the two schools taught the basics of magic the same, so I hired a teacher. ”
"My aunts and uncles are terrible, they hate magic, if only I had a few wizard brothers. ”
The three of them chatted with each other about their families, and the door to the cubicle was pushed open again.
Ron was holding his wand, trying to try out the magic his brother had taught him. "Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost one. The tone of the girl in the new Hogwarts robe gave the impression of being very arrogant and uninhabited.
"Oh, you're casting a spell? Let's open our eyes. He sat down.
He whispered "Sunshine, daisies and sweet cream to turn this silly fat mouse yellow." "Nothing happened.
Phoenix couldn't hold back his laughter, "Ron, this is obviously not a spell. ”
The little girl asked, "Then I think you should be able to do the real spell?" and show us a hand. ”
Why did it get to me, he took out his wand a little depressed and waved it in fright: "What kind of magic do you want to see?"
"Anything. ”
"Okay, zoom out. Phoenix's wand whispered to her.
"What kind of magic did you do to me?" she looked nervous, touching her cheek again. The other three were a little surprised, perhaps because they hadn't seen the magic before.
"Don't be nervous, I've reduced your front teeth to the size of the others, I think it'll make you prettier. He hastened to explain the usefulness of the magic, "If you don't want to, I can turn them back." ”
She licked her teeth with her tongue, a very seductive gesture that Phoenix stared blankly. "Oh, great, you're amazing. My name is Hermione Granger, what's your name?"
"Phoenix Peverell. ”
"I've heard of you, no wonder you're so good. Your name appears in Modern History of Magic, Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century, and Directory of Famous Contemporary Magicians, all of which mention you. ”
"Oh, I'm just lucky, but the phoenix is a great pet. ”
"It's Ron Weasley and Harry Potter," he said, seeing that Hermione wanted to continue asking, quickly introduced the other two to her.
"Is it really you? I know all about you—" Hermione was successfully distracted and spoke out loud.
When she finally finished talking about Harry, she asked about the house again, "Do you know which house you will be sorted into?" I have inquired about it, I hope to be assigned to Gryffindor, and they all say that it is the best, and Dumbledore graduated from there. ”
"What are the colleges?" Harry knew almost nothing about the wizarding world.
"Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff is the worst of these, because their admissions criteria can be said to be, um? no. Just kidding. In fact, diligence is a necessary ingredient to become a good mage, because every magic discipline is very profound, and you must have enough patience and diligence to master it. ”
"I want to go to Slytherin, my friends go there eighty percent, it's usually from generation to generation, their parents are Slytherin or Ravenclaw. When Phoenix finished speaking, everyone else was surprised.
"But Slytherin, I mean, the mystery man was there. ”
"You'll understand later. Phoenix didn't say much. Without waiting for Hermione to speak again.
Once again, the compartment door was pushed open.
"Phoenix, Melinda has been looking for you. Draco said, glancing at the cubicle.
"Hello, Draco," he smiled meaningfully, "come to Harry Potter." ”
Draco raised his head and said proudly, "My name is Draco Malfoy. Noble Malfoy. ”
Ron coughed lightly to keep from laughing.
"Don't ask who you are, red-haired, old school robes from home, and you can't afford to have too many children. You must be from the Weasleys. Ron's face quickly turned red.
"You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are much better off than others, and you don't want to make friends with people who don't have to be around. I can help you with this. He reached out to shake Harry's hand, but Harry ignored him.
"I think I can tell who is the wrong person, thank you. ”
Draco's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Alright, Draco, let's go. You didn't eat all my chocolate cake?" Phoenix spoke just in time, stopping the glaring between them.
"See you at Hogwarts. With that, he pulled Draco out of the cubicle.
"They're friends?" Harry felt that Phoenix and Malfoy weren't the same kind of people at all.
"They've known each other for a long time. Neville said timidly. For a while, everyone in the interval looked at him.
"My grandmother said that the Phoenix family is very old, long before Hogwarts was founded. I think Malfoy kept scolding him. Neville nervously rubbed the corners of his robes, he had been watched by so many people for the first time in his life.
"What? but—but Hogwarts is thousands of years old. Hermione asked, surprised.
"My grandmother said that their family existed before Ollivander even started making wands, and she told me not to mess with him. ”
Although Harry and Ron don't know the history of magic, they still know when Ollivander made wands.
This explanation satisfied everyone, and by the way, they felt that he would take so much magic for granted, and Neville and Hermione continued to look for Toad. Harry and Ron bought a bunch of snacks and started eating Hesse.
"Did Draco find Potter?" Melinda said in a flat tone, seemingly casually.
"yes, it's unfriendly, isn't it?" Phoenix said, sitting next to Melinda, Draco huffing across from him.
"Okay, we're going to be in school for seven years, so why bother with the first meeting?"
"Messing around with Weasley, I don't think he's just in name. Draco said harshly. Phoenix shrugged his shoulders and ate his cake.
