Chapter 45: The Christmas Express Encounter I
A long conversation with the mirror made Vio wake up late the next day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she jumped out, didn't pack anything, and went to catch the Hogwarts train alone. Professor McGonagall was standing next to the Hogwarts gate, checking the registration form for her students, and next to her, Hagrid stood like a two- or three-meter-high hinge of the door, making Professor McGonagall very small.
VIO greeted Professor McGonagall and wished her a Merry Christmas in advance. Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded in response.
She wasn't sure what to call Hagrid, so she just grinned and wished him a happy holiday as well. Hagrid glanced at Professor McGonagall, puzzled, as if he couldn't figure out when he had become friends with a Slytherin student. But he nodded anyway, and the black beard that hung down to his chest shook and seemed to smile.
She walked to the platform, where there were few people left because of the late exit, and the train whistled a warning whistle to urge the students who were still on the platform to enter the carriages.
As soon as Vio jumped into the car, the door slammed shut behind her, and the train sped briskly, leaving Hogwarts far behind in a few moments.
Vio walked down the aisle for a while, looking for an empty car, because there were many students staying on campus for various reasons, the car was not crowded at all, there were some decorative parasites hanging on the roof of the cars, and some little fairies wore enchanted silver stars on their heads and danced hide and seek in the slack, and from time to time let out a pleasant little laugh.
Each box has a miniature Christmas tree with a few crucible wands and other knick-knacks.
vio looked at it as he walked, and it felt very novel. She quickly found Hermione. Hermione was sitting in a red carriage across from Neville Longbottom, and Vio easily opened the door and sat next to Hermione.
"Vio, you're finally here. I thought you'd forget the way the Slytherin common room to the school gates. Hermione looked at Vio and said seriously. "After all, it's been half a year since I first met the school gate. She couldn't help but laugh when she said that.
"Alright, Hermione, I've been doing well lately. Vio smiled slyly, "Speaking of which, I wouldn't have expected to have the chance to dine with a good Gryffindor if I hadn't gotten lost, would I?"
Hermione ignored Vio, and just smiled and ordered her castle to move a square.
"Good morning, vio. Neville smiled shyly. "Good thing you caught up, Hermione and I were playing chess. ”
"Good morning, Neville. Vio leaned over to see what was going on with them.
"Hey, look," said Hermione, a little confused, as she pointed to a horse lying in a square on the chessboard, "it seems to be a little motion sick, and it's been like this since then—"
"Did you use Ron's chess?" asked Neville.
"You should kick him, just kick him twice. A man in armor standing next to the horse shouted angrily, "That's what the last commander did!"
"Oh ho ho!" said the horse lying in the square, craned its neck and neighed loudly.
"Hey, White, are you still leaving?" Before Hermione could speak, Neville's pawns began to get upset and began to shout.
"Quick, at this point, they're not playing, you send the queen over!" the knight began to give Neville an idea.
Neville gently tossed him aside, ignoring him.
"What, what do you want!, come, let's fight to the death for the glory of the old Earl Martila XII!" Hermione's knight dropped the horse that was still humming in the square, and rushed nervously with his sword raised, charging all the way to the battle, and finally fell to Queen Neville's sword, and was dragged off the board by the other knights.
When the remaining chess pieces on Hermione's side saw this, they immediately became angry and took action.
"Hey, you idiot, kick him to the square in front of me diagonally and let me deal with him!"
"Go this way, there's a queen over there, yes!"
・・・・・・ the chessboard was filled with the sound of roars and the pounding of iron. Hermione and Neville stared at a mess of chattering boards, and it was clear that their two commanders had been ruthlessly abandoned.
Vio looked at them with a look of disbelief and tried a lot, but he still couldn't hold back and laughed "eh".
Just then, the carriage door was pushed open.
It's Draco Malfoy after a long absence-
"Draco Malfoy?" Hermione's face flashed with surprise.
"I'm sorry, we heard the shouts and thought something was wrong with you—yo, look at this red patch. Draco didn't speak, but Pansy Parkinson walked in from behind. Pansy leaned against the door, her hands folded in a mocking look, her short ear-length hair swaying slightly with the frequency of her words. "Oh, no wonder, it's Granger here. ”
"Get out!" Hermione didn't want to look at Pansy. "This is our carriage. ”
"What's that?" Draco gave Hermione a cold look, ignoring it. Instead, he walked in and took a serious look at the chessboard, and he immediately understood, with the usual mocking look on his pale face. "Ah, you can't even control wizard chess, you and Longbottom are really refreshing, Gryffindor's "jack-of-all-trades"!"
Hermione's face flushed. "That's Ron's chess! Malfoy, you wait! You'll see at the end of the day—"
"See what? see you dating this silly little tearbag hiding in the carriage?" Pansy pulled in, smiling sweetly. She looked at Vio and added, "It's a pity that there is an unknown light bulb that keeps shining, isn't it?"
"You're talking nonsense—" Neville plucked up the courage to argue.
"Oh, she's talking nonsense, so, is it Santriel who is dating you?" Draco seemed to see a very interesting scene, and a faint smile curled into the corners of his mouth casually, as if he was in a good mood - and then waved his wand without warning and said, "Tarantella Dance!"
Poor Denaway was caught off guard by Draco's spell, and his feet immediately danced, and he waved his arms desperately, but he couldn't keep his balance, and instead pounced on Hermione in a very strange trajectory.
Vio hurriedly went up to help Neville.
"Hahahaha," it was Pansy who couldn't stop laughing this time.
"Flames!" Hermione shouted, pointing to the corner of Pansy's skirt. Draco quickly pulled Pansy past her, and he turned his head to continue taunting Hermione, "Miss Jack-of-all-trades, doesn't look good. Did you use a Weasley wand too? ”
Hermione cast a second spell in a fit of rage—and Draco quickly retreated out of the door, slamming it triumphantly. The spell struck the door glass with a heavy blow, but there were multiple protective charms on the train. Pansy grimaced outside the door. Draco seemed to think that enough fun had been made, and left with Pansy without looking back.
