Chapter 7: The Girl on the Train

Casto didn't know where he was a good fit for Slytherin, and Harry and the others said it was a joke - because he and Draco. Malfoy is completely different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, not everyone can maintain such a demeanor, and Lucius. Malfoy talks.

But Casto quickly put the encounter behind him.

According to the twins, Gildero. Lockhart had just left the Blotted bookstore with a panicked expression. Castor still didn't get to see him.

He has just announced that he will be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.

So Casto is not in a hurry.

And he was surprised to find out that he didn't have summer homework.

Castor rode the Light Wheel 2000, sometimes flying past the window of Ron's room, enthusiastically handing Harry and Ron, two apples, to answer their questions.

September 1 is fast approaching.

.

Casto finally knew why he and Harry had met the Weasleys ten minutes before the train had left last year.

They were woken up early in the morning by the rooster, but there was still much to do.

He watched blankly as Mrs. Weasley rushed around, frantically searching for spare socks and quilts. They kept bumping into each other on the stairs, half-dressed and holding a little leftover bread in their hands.

Castor, on the other hand, placed a suitcase beside him and slowly drank coffee at the table.

They finally packed the box.

As Mr. Weasley carried Ginny's suitcase to the cart, he tripped over a rooster in the yard and nearly broke his neck.

Then, they all got into the old Ford Anglia with the interior enlarged. But when Mr. Weasley started the engine and the car drove out of the yard, they turned back several times - because some people had forgotten to take something.

Casto regretted drinking coffee that he wasn't used to. He felt that he might as well get a good night's sleep in the car.

So, when he faintly heard Ginny's screams—she had forgotten her diary—Casto fell asleep again.

They arrived at King's Cross station at eleven o'clock.

To be honest, the car is quite comfortable when driving normally. Castor spent the summer in the garage alone, and spent a lot of time reinforcing and calibrating it, doing some maintenance, and giving Mr. Weasley some knowledge.

Provided that it does not fly. Castor hadn't done anything to modify the complex engine, so Mr. Weasley was amusefully not to activate the stealth booster he had installed.

Castor staggered out the door.

"Man, you're so heavy." The twins grimaced, one left and one right, and Fred gritted his teeth.

"Seriously, you didn't wake up like a waster." George was equally uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I was a little nervous last night." Castor furrowed his eyebrows.

Fiona flew over very cheerfully and stood on Casto's shoulder, causing the twins to grit their teeth again.

Harry and Ron had volunteered to carry Castor - but they couldn't, so it was the two of them.

Casto saw himself getting closer and closer to a partition wall, and he could already make out the mottled textures of the masonry. He thought he had hit it, but the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up.

A crimson steam locomotive is parked next to a platform full of passengers. The sign on the train reads: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.

Smoke from steam locomotives bilfted over the chirping crowd, and cats of all colors walked through people's feet. Amid the humming of the crowd and the cacophony of dragging heavy luggage, owls also chirped and chirped.

Fiona jumped from Casto's shoulder to the ground, crying happily, bouncing around like the cats.

She soon ran away without a trace.

Fred and George breathed a sigh of relief, but grimaced—they had to put Castor in a cubicle.

"Thanks, I'm awake." Casto's words are like a heavenly sound. He was let go of by the twins in retaliation, but landed firmly on the floor of the platform, and then stretched.

Fred and George left immediately. They were going to look for Lee now. Jordan's position - they could have played together in Diagon Alley, but they were kept tightly guarded by Mrs. Weasley.

Castor yawned and dragged his suitcase onto the train. The first few carriages were already packed with students, so he went to the back of the car.

Castor sat down in a cubicle, put his suitcase away, and sat by the window, watching the students say goodbye to their families.

He waited for a while, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

On platform nine and three-quarters, Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were a little panicked.

The place he had just crossed had become a wrought iron archway, but it was like a wall of air that they couldn't get through.

Mrs. Weasley drew her wand, but to no avail.

"What's going on?" Casto poked his head out of the window and shouted as loudly as he could.

But none of them heard, and they looked for someone again. The twins, noticing the abnormal family members, also jumped out of the car.

"Harry and Ron didn't come in?" Castor was stunned for a moment, then heard the train whistle. The white steam became more intense.

Mrs. Weasley told them to get in the car first. But it wasn't until the train began to move slowly and Casto waved to Mrs. Weasley that she still didn't seem to notice Harry and Ron.

"Well, it's so much fun before the new semester starts." Castor sighed as he watched a panicked Ginny find the compartment.

But a figure followed Ginny and walked in in a trance.

.

The train has already departed.

In the small cubicle, three children sat quietly.

Casto sat by the window, and Ginny sat across from him, leaning against the window. When she entered the door, she explained what had just happened, and then she didn't say a word, staring blankly out of the window.

Casto slightly understood what she was thinking. You know, Ginny had realized that Harry was a little sluggish, and that in Casto's opinion, Ron was usually a kid with a lot of brains. They had this kind of accident and it was really something to worry about.

But it's useless to worry about it now, is it?

Casto then stared curiously at the girl sitting next to her.

The girl walked in after Ginny, and then sat down directly, as if not noticing that there was already a person in the compartment, and naturally opened a magazine and read it.

She had light blonde hair mixed with brown and had unkempt, waist-length hair. The eyebrows were very light in color, and the eyes were bulging outward, which gave her a look of surprise.

Perhaps to be on the safe side, she stuck her wand behind her left ear.

Castor also pulled his wand from the cuff of his left hand and tried it. He succeeded immediately, as his wand was only seven inches.

The girl looked up from the magazine and glanced at the same boy with silver-gray eyes.

"Casto. Black? ”

"Luna. Lovegood? ”

They looked at each other in some surprise and then laughed in unison.

Ginny stared blankly out the window at the passing scenery, and then she seemed to realize that she hadn't yet introduced her friends to each other.

She sighed, as if she didn't need it anymore.

"Hello, Casto," Luna said in a trance, but Casto heard the seriousness of her tone, "Ginny told me about you. I don't have a chance to invite you to try Gordigan tea right now. ”

"Gordigan tea?" Casto was intrigued.

"Oh, a drink that tastes great." Luna faintly admired.

Ginny's face became odd.

"I wanted to be a guest at your house this summer, but—"

"Yes, I'm looking for the scimitar-horned snorer—" Luna smiled faintly at the curious look on Castor's face, "Few people believe in such an animal. Most of them inhabit Sweden, and they're very shy, very magical—"

The sliding door of the cubicle was knocked on and opened all at once.

Hermione appeared out the door panting, her brown hair more tousled than usual, and she was also dragging a suitcase.

"You're here!" She glared at the three people in the cubicle, "Casto? Ginny? What about Harry and Ron? I heard Fred and George say that you can't find Harry and Ron - I almost didn't even find you! ”

"I found the whole car!" She didn't give Casto a chance to interject, and said in an anxious tone, "I still haven't found them—"

"Then they really didn't get in the car," Castor sighed, "and they were all blocked out of that wall, I don't know why." ”

"It's useless for you to be anxious now," an ethereal voice Hermione had never heard before, "why not take a break?" ”

"Who are you?" Hermione was a little angry, but she was still standing in the doorway.

"Hermione." Castor was a little helpless.

"I want to say that as long as you believe that they are okay, they will be safe." Luna turned her head and looked in Hermione's direction.

"How is that possible?" Hermione walked into the cubicle and chuckled crisply—though Casto thought the voice was a little high-pitched, "How could I believe in such an idealistic thing—"

"My gut tells me this—if you don't believe me."

Hermione's little face froze, and it seemed obvious that she didn't believe it was credible.

"Hermione, I don't care if you agree with Luna or not—but you really should take a break," Castor felt that he couldn't let things go like this, and stood up and helped Hermione put the box away.

She sat down a little huffy—reason had told her that it would be best to go through the whole train just now, but the girl in front of her trusted her instincts and thought she didn't need it?

She felt denied.

Hermione sat beside Casto, staring across her with piercing brown eyes.

Luna lowered her head, ignoring Hermione's gaze. The little girl turned the magazine in her hand around and around it, carefully examining its contents.

Hermione pursed her lips, resisting the urge to speak. She felt that the tone of what she had just said was a little rushed, so she took a deep breath.

After a long silence, Casto and Ginny exchanged a look helplessly. It was as if all they could hear was the noise of the train.

"Oh, where did we just go?" Luna seemed to react.

"You go find the scimitar-horned snorer—" Castor was eager to break the silence.

Hermione gave her eyes a look of disbelief.

"I beg your pardon, isn't this animal non-existent?" Hermione couldn't hold back any longer.

Casto and Ginny twisted their heads out the window. They all held their heads with their hands and looked at the vast expanse of beautiful farmland outside the window with great interest.

"I think life at Hogwarts must be interesting." Castor whispered.

Ginny nodded approvingly.
