Chapter 014: Draco Malfoy

"Over the next six days, I'm going to show you some of the most famous places of interest in the English wizarding world," Draco said proudly as he pulled a roll of parchment from his pocket, "and today, we're going to Stonehenge on the outskirts of Salisbury." ”

"Stonehenge?" Catherine blinked, "I've been there." ”

"When will you remember—" Dracora said in a long voice, a look of contempt, "this is the wizarding world!" ”

"So how do we get there?" Catherine asked with a shrug.

"Dobby! Bobby! With two explosions, two house-elves appeared in front of them.

"Master Draco! Miss Catherine! They bowed in unison, and Bobby looked about the same as Dobby, only cleaner than Dobby.

"My parents sent them to show us the way." Draco proudly introduced, "Now all you have to do is stretch out your hand." ”

Catherine glanced at him and held out her left hand, and Dobby, who was close to her, immediately graciously came over and held her hand.

"Let's go!" With Draco's command, Catherine felt as if they had been stuffed into a tube, only to be pushed out with all the force they had.

As Catherine adjusted to the light around her, she was surprised to find that they had arrived at Stonehenge on the outskirts of Salisbury.

"Wow! Very fast 'mode of transportation'! Catherine looked around, only to see that the two house-elves had disappeared.

"They're just invisible." Sensing Catherine's doubts, Draco explained.

"Oh!" Catherine replied and began to look at the large rocks around her, "I didn't notice any difference here from the last time I was here!" ”

"Of course, it's not so easy to spot something out of the ordinary!" Draco arrogantly pointed to the ground and said, "Notice the sign up there?" ”

"Is there a sign on it?" Catherine looked at the ground very carefully for a long time, and found that the stones and grass on the ground formed a triangle, a circle, and a straight line.

"If you can make Muggles find out that there is a sign of the 'Grim Reaper' here, is there still a need for magic to be stored in zài!" Draco said proudly, "Where's your wand?" ”

Catherine took out her wand and shook it in front of him.

"Click here three times!" Draco crouched down and pointed to the midpoint of the straight line.

"It's not going to make a hole like Diagon Alley." Catherine asked, crouching down to see Draco roll her eyes vigorously before she tapped her wand three times where he was pointing.

Like the morning dew dripping into a calm pond, three faint white circles of light, with Catherine's rhythm, slowly spread out to the edge of Stonehenge.

"Now say: 'Befriend the martyrs!' Draco's tone became very stern.

"Pay homage to the martyrs!" With Catherine's voice, a faint white glow began to condense on the tip of the wand, until it gathered into a white droplet the size of a fingernail, and then it broke away from the tip of the wand and landed on the straight line, and quickly began to stretch towards both ends of the straight line until it completely filled the entire sign.

Then it began to spread rapidly along the gaps between the sand and the grass, climbing up to the huge boulders, forming a huge white magic circle, and the noisy noise of Muggle tourists slowly died away, and whispers began to be heard in Stonehenge.

"Annie! My dear! Bring our kids! I'll let you out safely! ”

"Leon! Hide well! Mom goes to lure them away, if ...... Mom can't come back, you have to be strong to live, understand? ”

"Corey! Come on! Don't look back! Go to Hogwarts! My sister will arrive next! ”

"Daddy! Mom! I've grown up! The professors all said I was the best student! So I'll definitely be back safely! ”

"Kids! You are the hope of the wizarding world! For the future of the wizarding world! Live well! ”

With these whispers of gentleness, excitement, tragedy, or encouragement, Stonehenge began to fill with a silvery mist, and silver-white figures flickered.

"They're ......," Catherine couldn't help but lower her voice.

"Martyrs of the 'witch hunt' in the Middle Ages." Draco said reverently, "When the Holy See first discovered this place, it was intended to destroy it completely, but they have not been able to unlock the core magic circle, and in the end they have to let these 'broken walls' continue to stay here. ”

Silently looking at these martyrs who had long since passed away, listening to their last words.

It took a long time for Catherine to speak suddenly.

"Master Draco, I'd like to find someone first, who's a Hogwarts freshman like us."

"Where does he live?" Draco didn't ask too much, just a little displeasure in his tone.

"4 Privet Road, Little Whinging, Surreyshire, London."

"He lives in the Muggle world?"

"His parents died."

"Oh!" Draco casually replied, turning into the air in front of him, "Do you know this place?" ”

"I'm sorry! Master Draco! Miss Catherine! Dobby doesn't know! Dobby said in a frustrated tone, followed by the sound of something hitting the ground.

"I'm sorry! Bobby doesn't know either! Bobby has never been to a Muggle place! Two house-elves replied, followed by another sound hitting the ground.

"Enough! You want to punish yourselves and wait until you get home. With Draco's words, the two voices slamming the ground faded away, "Looks like we're going to have to get over the other way." ”

"How?" Catherine followed him out of Stonehenge.

"By bus."

"Huh! Is there a bus in the wizarding world too? ”

"There weren't any, but some people were so poor that they couldn't even afford Floo powder, and they couldn't get a certificate of apparition, so the Ministry of Magic had to introduce buses as a means of transportation." Draco said as he walked, "But my parents said that thing was very unreliable, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no other way right now, I wouldn't have chosen it." ”

"Oh!" Catherine dragged out a long note, but she suspected that Draco was in fact just like a normal child, and she couldn't help but try what her parents objected to.

As if sensing that Catherine had read through his mind, two blush appeared on Draco's cheeks, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he hurriedly drew his wand.

"Bang!" A deafening voice suddenly rang out around them, followed by a sudden, dazzling glare of light.

Catherine quickly pulled Draco back and screamed at a pair of huge wheels, stopping where the boy had been standing.

It was a three-tiered bus, as if it had emerged from thin air, and the words were formed in gold letters on the windshield: Rider bus.

"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 Sampak, and today I'm your conductor—"

The conductor stopped talking suddenly, for he noticed that there were two children standing in front of him, and it was very obvious that one of them was still with his mouth wide open, before he could react from the shock he had just had.

"Dear children, where do you want to go?" Sampak wanted to smile kindly, but his big fanning ears made him look ridiculous.

"We're going to London!" Catherine smiled reluctantly, and she suddenly realized that the wizarding world seemed to be more dangerous than her previous life.

"London, it's very close, don't worry, it'll be there soon." As he spoke, Sanpak pushed and pulled them into the car.

There were all sorts of chairs on the car, all sorts of chairs scattered around the windows, some of which seemed to have toppled over when the car suddenly stopped, and a few wizards were muttering to their feet. There were a few wet and gooey clumps on the floor, which Catherine could vaguely discern as cockroaches and custards, and the girl pulled Draco to sit down on two chairs next to an iron armrest.

"Where are you going in London?" Sampakra put up a chair to make it to them opposite.

"Little Whitkin, Surrey." Catherine's smile finally calmed down, "How much does it cost?" ”

"Eleven silver for each man," said Sampak, "but if you pay fourteen each, you will get chocolate, and fifteen, you will ......."

"No need to look for it!" Draco threw two Galleons into his hands.

Sampark's face suddenly turned ugly, but when he saw Draco's short platinum blonde hair, he just cursed silently and walked away.

Catherine looked at Draco, who gave her an arrogant look in return.

"You'd better hold on to the handrails." Catherine said suddenly.

"Why?" Draco asked, but without Catherine answering, he understood what she meant.

With a loud thud, Draco nearly fell backwards, but Catherine had the foresight to hold him early, but she herself was skewed aside by the unsuspecting speed.

A snickerer from nearby could be heard from Sampark, and Draco wanted to glare at him, but the driver suddenly made a left turn without warning, and the two of them hurriedly tightened the handrail again.

After getting used to the irregular direction of the bus, Catherine dared to look out the window and find that they had reached the city of Reading, and the bus was actually rampaging through the complex in this way, and fortunately the lampposts, letterboxes, and garbage cans jumped to avoid the car as it passed, and when it passed, it returned to its original position, and the girl even saw a skyscraper jumping up to avoid it.

Suddenly there was a sharp sound of brakes, followed by the people in the car involuntarily leaving their seats and rushing forward, one of them even rolled next to the driver, and although Catherine and Draco were also forced to rush forward, they finally stopped steadily, not like the others.

"I now understand why my parents said that." Draco muttered as he sat back in his chair, "I don't want to sit on this thing again." ”

"I couldn't agree more!" Catherine clenched the handrail as soon as she sat down, "I think drivers should take a good driving lesson and keep in mind what safe driving is!" ”
