Chapter 45: The Knight Bus
Holding a box full of all kinds of "dangerous goods", Darren feels that any kind of ordinary public transportation is not very reliable, although the British police don't seem to be very good at raiding these years, but his small physique, carrying such a box, it is also very uncomfortable to meet the gangsters, especially in the neighborhood where the orphanage is located, here are not all decent people, and because the box can never be opened, the so-called "not afraid of 10,000, just in case", he does not want to be wanted by Muggles in the second year of Hogwarts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But Darren is a wizard now, so he has an alternative to Muggle public transport, the Knight Bus!
As Darren stretched out his wand, he suddenly heard a deafening thud as a bright light appeared in front of his eyes.
A second later, a pair of huge wheels and headlights screamed and stopped in front of Darren's eyes, and at the same time appeared a three-story bus with gold lettering on the windshield: Knight Bus.
After the knight's bus came to a stop, the door behind the car opened, and out of it jumped a young man, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pair of large fan ears, and a few small pimples on his face, and then took a piece of paper from his pocket and read it.
"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, an emergency passenger transport for witches or wizards in distress. Just stretch out your wand and get in the car and we'll take you wherever you want to go. My name is Stan. Sampark, I'm your conductor tonight. ”
After reading the words on the piece of paper, Stan slipped it back into his pocket and looked up at Darren, "Is that the bus you called?" ”
"I guess there's no one else here but me, don't you?"
"Oh, I think so, it's just," Stan paused, wagging his fingers, pondering the words, "I've rarely seen a passenger like you, actually, it's the first time I've seen it since I got on the knight's bus, well, what's your name?" ”
"Is this the rule for getting on the bus?" Darren was a little weird, and it looked like the Knight Bus didn't have a census duty.
"Huh? Oh, of course not, I'm just asking, please come up. Stan seems to notice that they are still standing outside the car, and says to Darren, reaching for Darren's suitcase, which Darren gently refuses.
Darren boarded the bus and found that the inside of the car was not at all what it looked like on the outside, and the space inside was very spacious, like a hotel, divided into three floors, and a huge crystal chandelier hung from the roof in the middle, illuminating the space in the car.
Stan didn't let Darren go upstairs, and led him directly to the front of the first floor, in the process of advancing, Darren didn't see the seats, but there were six beds with brass columns, and the bus was all sleepers, but looking at the space inside, it was enough, anyway, there weren't many wizards in the whole of the UK, and it was estimated that even fewer would take the bus, at least not at the Malfoy family.
They walked all the way to the front of the bus, where a small wizard was already sleeping on the bed, with a sock with a big toe sticking out......
"Don't you ask me where I'm going?"
"Didn't I say it just now, we can take you anywhere, anywhere you want!" The last few words, Stan said in a deliberately accentuated tone.
"Maybe I don't have any money?"
"Oh no, I've never met one, why summon us if you don't have the money?" Stan said strangely.
Well, Darren decided not to rap with Stan anymore, this wizard is simply scary, I'm afraid he will only be a conductor, no wonder he has to take out a piece of paper and read it when he introduced himself just now.
"I'm going to the Leaky Cauldron, on the other side of the city."
"Five silver sico," Stan said, "add three sico, and you'll have chocolate, and one more, and you'll get a thermos and a toothbrush, and you'll pick the color." ”
"No, I just need to go to the Cauldron Bar, it should be soon." Darren took out the silver coins from his pocket, in addition to the tuition, he also had a little savings, and he took a prize of 10 Galleons last semester, maybe he is richer than the Weasleys now!
"Yes," Stan laughed, looking for money, "on land, we're the fastest!" ”
Handing the change to Darren, Stan said, "You sleep on this," pointing to the empty bed behind the driver, who was sitting in an armchair in front of the steering wheel, "This is our driver, Ern. Poran, alright, Ernne, go to the Leaky Cauldron. ”
"Okay, Leaky Cauldron."
Seeing that the driver began to move, Darren immediately hugged and lay down on the bed, because it seemed that these beds were cast some kind of magic to counteract the impact, otherwise the wizard who slept on the bed just now would have been thrown away.
Sure enough, although the bed itself was shaking back and forth when the bus started, Darren was quite stable lying on the bed, without much sense of acceleration, and looking at the wizard sleeping next to him, he was also lying peacefully, without the slightest intention of flying out.
But the disadvantage of lying in bed is that you can't see the outside scene at all, so when the bus starts, Darren holds the box in his arms and waits quietly to reach the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
The contents of this box were all obtained during Darren's magic riot, and his performance at the time seemed to be some kind of ability to retrieve things in a dream, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he would find some inexplicable things in bed, and later he would dream that he had stored things in some places, and there were also amazing discoveries there, fortunately, he was careful enough, and he has been low-key enough, so that he was not discovered, otherwise it is estimated that he would not be regarded as a thief, or he would have been sent to the research institute to be sliced.
Because he knew that in his own capacity, he could not explain the origin of these items, even if it was just a few large bills.
So he's always kept the parts he thought were the most valuable, and discarded the rest to prevent unnecessary trouble, and now he had a chance to make it work.
Suddenly, the driver of the car, Erne slammed on the brakes, and all the beds in the car screamed in the direction of the front of the car, and then the knight bus stopped, "The Leaky Cauldron is here," Stan said to Darren, standing at the head of Darren's bed.
"Thank you and goodbye." Darren got up, jumped out of the car with the box in his hand, and walked into the Leaky Cauldron Bar, where he was going to use the fireplace to return to Hogwarts, with the box and its contents with him, and there would be no security checks.
