Chapter 36: Missed Opportunity

Standing on the streets of London with a constant stream of people, King's Cross Station is just around the corner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The sun shines warmly, and the world shines brightly. Vio looked at the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going around him, and still had a sense of not knowing where and not knowing what was real.

The dragon-shaped key was still on her chest, and her clothes were still the same as they had been in the morning, undamaged.

But Vio couldn't forget the feeling of the dragon-shaped key crashing wildly in his clothes and finally breaking through his clothes and shining light. It's like a dragon, soaring into the air.

Nothing can restrain it, and it is the true master of this world.

"Let's go, vio, it's time for us to make a pit stop. Mrs. Santrill took Vio's hand, and Mr. Santrill pushed Vio's luggage cart.

They soon took advantage of the Muggles' inattention, wandering nonchalantly near the wall between platforms 9 and 10, and then finding an opportunity to pass through the wall.

There were already many parents and students on the platform of the station, and owl cages and suitcases were all over the floor.

Occasionally, a few toads tried to jump onto the train's tracks, but they were quickly caught.

The students, who hadn't seen each other in the summer, chatted enthusiastically as soon as they met. Parents also told their children all kinds of precautions before getting into the car, what not to buy bubble gum, not to eat candy ball quill and the like.

Vio watched all this distraughtly, said goodbye to the Santrielles early, and got into the car himself.

Mr. and Mrs. Santrill looked at her worriedly, and she could tell that they wished they could stay on the platform a little longer and talk to them like any other parent or child.

However, Vio was really in no mood to say anything.

She even ignored that Dobby would seal the passage later according to the original book.

Harry and Ron then miss the Hogwarts train and end up driving Ron's old Ford Anglia to school, crashing into a centuries-old beating willow, beating them up, and finally starting the new semester in embarrassment.

It wasn't until the train was five minutes away that Vio realized it - it was because Hermione had found her carriage and then casually said that Ron and Harry weren't there as she put her luggage.

Vio decides to do a dying throes and go to them.

She left her luggage to Hermione to look after - just in the car, and someone would take their luggage to the various dorms when she got off.

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran out of the carriage, but fortunately, most of the people were already seated in the carriage by this time, and the aisle was relatively wide, and she was very fast, but she didn't hit anyone.

When they got out of the car, Mr. and Mrs. Sontrell gathered around her, both delighted and worried, and asked her if she had forgotten something they had forgotten and that they could send it to her when they returned.

Vio couldn't laugh or cry.

She even thought about the reason why she might not be able to see Ron and Harry when she rushed out like this - when it was time to drive, Dobby closed the entrance and exit of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, and she couldn't get out, just like Harry and they couldn't get into the station.

However, she was only stopped by the Santrielles, who had not yet left the station platform, and there was no need to continue the matter.

Mr. and Mrs. Santriel would never have let her inexplicably rush out of the platform in front of her when the train was about to leave.

Vio sighed, and didn't care about Harry and Ron, he had to let this matter go according to the original book.

"Mom and Dad, why haven't you left yet? Didn't I・・・・・・ I already got into the carriage?" she turned her attention to the two people in front of her, and found that the corners of their eyes and eyebrows showed a kind of satisfaction when they heard this.

"We-we met acquaintances, and we talked for a while, and you got off the train because you saw us from the car?"

Madame Sontrill stroked her breast, a look of joy. "Cyril, it's worth it for us to stay a little longer. ”

Mr. Santrill laughed and nodded, leaning over and kissing Vio's forehead.

"Sweetheart, you seem to be very unhappy today. I assure you, I used to feel this way when I was in school, but once I entered Hogwarts, nothing happened. You'll be happy slowly. Madame Santriel enlightened her.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing we forgot to tell you. Your mother and I ordered you a broomstick, the Halo 2001, which is said to be the best in performance and feel, many times better than the previous generation Halo 2000. You're going to love it!" said Mr. Santerre.

Vio felt the blow blow again, and she feebly asked, "Am I really going to be on the Slytherin Quidditch team?"

Mrs. Sontrell looked a little surprised, "Don't you want to go in--but you practiced broom-wielding in your room last time-"

"Cassie, she might be worried about something else. Mr. Santrill soothed his anxious wife.

Then he looked at Vio mysteriously, "Don't worry about the Slytherin team selection, I promise, it's going to be easy - let's get back to the car・・・・・・"

The train had already sounded its whistle, and the chimney on the front of the tractor spewed a large cloud of smoke, and the body moved slowly, one section after another, slashing across the tracks, making a piercing grinding sound.

Vio thought about it, hurriedly gave each of them a hug, then turned and jumped on the train, waving to them.

The train carried her away, and the Santrielles vanished.

Vio shuffled back to the compartment where Hermione and her luggage were.

"Vio, you're back! What the hell is going on - you just stood like you weren't going to take this train. Hermione sat across from her, and seeing that she looked a little listless, she thoughtfully handed her a chocolate frog with the icing peeled off.

Vio smiled gratefully, took it, and bit off one of the chocolate frog's legs.

After a while, she felt a little better, at least with more strength in her body - more than enough to talk to Hermione.

"Hermione, I just saw that my mom and dad were still on the platform, and I rushed down - if I couldn't catch the car, my mom and dad should be able to figure out a way to get me there. Vio picked a slightly decent reason to explain to Hermione.

"Are Uncle and Auntie alright?" asked Hermione with a smile.

Vio nodded, relieved that Hermione shouldn't have doubted her purpose.

Hermione then said to her solemnly, "Vio, I'm very unhappy with your attitude - how can you plan to miss this train without caring - if you really miss this train, you will miss the opening ceremony, which is a violation of the student rules・・・・・・"

"I was wrong. Hermione, I promise there will never be a next time. Vio bowed his head and said sincerely.

"Well, ・・・・・・, you've proven yourself to be a lot better than Ron—he's never found his mistakes. By the way, shall we go find them, I always think they probably missed the train-" Hermione said with some concern.

Vio happily agreed—even though she knew it was impossible to find Harry and Ron in the carriage, but that was the only thing that could really distract Hermione right now.
