Chapter 147: Going to school

After returning from Diagon Alley, Blake and Lupin instructed Harry and Darren in spell practice every day, and although they were not as knowledgeable as Professor Flitwick, as adult wizards who had fought the Death Eaters, they taught Harry and Darren many practical skills, such as the timing of spells and the choice of spells, as well as the practice of accuracy.

It has to be said that it is very difficult to hit a high-speed flying target with a magic wand spell, even Blake and Lupin, their effective spell casting distance will not exceed twenty meters, not that the spell will lose its effect, but that it will not hit......

But within the effective range, their attacks are quite ferocious, and Blake and Lupin once demonstrated it for Harry and Darren, which is simply an extended version of the duel between Snape and Lockhart, with silent spells colliding and catapulting in the space between the two, exploding sparks like fireworks.

Watching them fight, Darren knew he had a long way to go!

Kreacher successively handed the basilisk skin and the remaining basilisk tooth dagger to Darren, much to the embarrassment of Blake who saw it, and sure enough, he had forgotten about it......

Finally, Kreacher handed Darren a bag containing small grains that had been crushed from the remaining basilisk teeth as he had commanded.

However, in the last few days of the holiday, Lupin's body looked weaker and weaker, and he seemed to be sick, but when Darren asked, he always said that it was okay, just that it would be good to rest more.

On the first day of school, Blake and the others took the Knight's Bus to King's Cross Station, the second time Darren had taken the Hogwarts Express, and he hadn't left the school during the holidays last year.

On the platform, of course, inside the Nine and Three-Quarters platform, they met Hermione and the Weasleys, apparently the weather in France was much better than in England, because Hermione's skin was tanned brown and full of health and liveliness.

Hermione was overjoyed to see them, and rushed over to greet them from afar, but after learning that Lupin was about to become the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, she became noticeably more reserved, and after saying hello, she quieted down.

Later, the Weasleys followed, and several Weasleys gossiped about their experiences in Egypt, while Percy vividly displayed a new silver badge, which was the boys' student council president's badge.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were chatting with Blake and Lupin, who had apparently known each other before, and were very familiar with each other, and yes, Blake and they were still relatives.

Ron took out his new wand, and by the light of Mr. Weasley's jackpot, Mrs. Weasley finally agreed to give him a new one, Ron's original wand was so worn out that even the unicorn hair inside as the wand core was exposed, and it was burned by the fire again this year, damaging the wand core, and it was very difficult to use, and it was probably Mrs. Weasley was also worried that it would affect Ron's studies.

After boarding the train to Hogwarts, Darren and Harry, Hermione, and Ron found an empty carriage and sat in it, although Harry would like to let Lupin in as well, but considering Hermione and Ron, Darren didn't think it was a good idea, but Lupin seemed to think so and went looking for another carriage himself.

After putting her luggage away, Hermione got up and untied the straps on a basket, and a ginger cat popped out of it.

"Crook Hill!" Hermione shouted.

It seems that Hermione has become a cat slave after all, and her master looks so powerful, her fur is thick and fluffy, and her face looks like it has been flattened, I don't know why Hermione likes it, anyway, Darren doesn't like this kind of flat-faced breed, it's not cute at all.

Ron, who is not spotted, has no dislike for Crookshan, but is envious that Hermione can have her own pet, which Darren doesn't understand a little, anyway, for him, there is the kung fu to take care of pets, it is better to read more books, practice spells, and run magic or something.

Probably because the entertainment facilities in the wizarding world are too poor, the little wizards have nothing to do, if there is a Nintendo to play, with what Contra, Super Marie, tank battle cartridges, it is estimated that pets like toads and mice that rely on feeding will be starved to death......

Routinely, Harry buys a lot of snacks from the witch pushing the food cart at his expense, and then several people tell about their summer vacations to pass the time on the train.

As for lunch, Darren told Kreacher to prepare it early in the morning, there are house-elves with such good skills, who would do it themselves, which naturally includes Hermione and Ron's, otherwise, it shouldn't be enough to eat.

While they were chatting, Darren saw that it was getting darker and darker outside, and there were heavy clouds overhead, and sure enough, by the afternoon, it was starting to rain.

"It's a pity that the Hogwarts Express is not a sleeper," Darren depressedly propped his chin on his arm, "Otherwise, it's most comfortable to sleep on a rainy day, or Harry, you go to the other side and let me lie down here for a while." ”

"......" Hermione

"......" Harry

"......" Ron

However, Darren certainly couldn't let Hermione squeeze in with Harry and Ron, just a little bit of a gloomy joke due to the weather, and soon, they began to discuss Hogsmeade next to Hogwarts, because according to Hogwarts rules, they could go there with the permission of their guardians this year.

"It was the only place in England where there were no Muggles. ”

“…… I just want to go to Duke Honey!"

"What's that?"

"It's a candy store, and there's everything, and the little pepper boy who smokes when he eats it, and the oily chocolate balls, which are full of strawberry custard and general custard, and the really wonderful quill made of sugar, which you can suck in in class, and it looks like you're thinking about what to write next......"

"I've heard that the screaming shack there is probably the most haunted house in all of Britain!"

As they chatted, the train kept running, and despite the bad weather, the Hogwarts Express arrived at the school on time, and after dark, I really didn't know how to arrange the schedule.

In the midst of the chaos, Darren and the others greeted Hagrid, and then boarded the unmanned carriage bound for the castle, where Hagrid had to take care of the first-year students to get on the boat.

The carriage ride was a first for both Harry and Ron, as they had missed the ride in a flying car last year, so they were curious about the carriage because they couldn't see the horses pulling the carriage in front of them.
