Chapter 4: To Hogwarts
Back at the manor, it was already dark, and the dwarf house-elf staggered behind the Augustus family with a mule and a crucible book, and a pure white Haidongqing on Augustus' shoulder was proudly patrolling back and forth, as if the entire manor was about to become his domain.
"Alright, Zeni, put Augustus' books and cauldrons and other magical paraphernalia in your suitcase and pack them. Dinner was prepared for us again. Clovis waved at the house-elf.
"Yes, master." Zeny nodded obediently, and disappeared with his things.
After eating the rich dinner prepared by the house-elf, returning to the bedroom, Augustus opened his suitcase, took out all the books in it, and sat back in his chair and began to read, for Augustus, reading had become a habit engraved in the depths of his soul long before he was an apprentice in magic. And speed reading, this little skill is the most basic thing that a qualified mage can master. For a mage, the charm of knowledge is endless, and absorbing knowledge is the most important task at any time and place.
The next day, Augustus put on a simple white robe and arrived at the restaurant early, and Hai Dongqing, who had returned from foraging for food very early, also flew in. And his parents had already arrived very early.
"Child, today is your first day of school, and your mother and I wish you all the best at school. Come, we'll take you to the station early after eating. Clovis sat down on a chair at the table and smiled at Augustus.
After running out of breakfast, it was still the same huge carriage, slowly rising into the air, then accelerating suddenly, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
By the time the carriage came to a steady stop at King's Cross Station, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon, which was the height of the crowd and the crowd was shuttling back and forth throughout the station, but strangely enough, a carriage of this size did not seem to attract attention.
got out of the carriage and walked towards the platform with a black suitcase, the outstanding appearance of the Augustus family frequently caused everyone to turn back, not to mention the pure white Haidongqing on Augustus's shoulder, which attracted everyone's attention, after all, this kind of king of eagles is very rare.
Coming to the middle of the 9th and 10th stations, the baring clearing, which seemed to others to be nothing, looked at Augustus, but a huge white gate of light was shining brightly.
"Alright, see you later." Augustus turned back to Clovis, and with a wave of his hand, Aurora pushed her suitcase and walked straight to the ticket gate between platforms 9 and 10.
"It's strange, I thought this kid would ask me, but I didn't expect him to know how to enter the platform." Looking at Augustus, who had disappeared in the middle of platforms 9 and 10, Clovis said to Aurora with some frustration.
Smoke from a scarlet steam locomotive billows over the chirping crowd, and cats of all colors weave their way under people's feet. Amid the humming of the crowd and the cacophony of dragging heavy luggage, owls also chirped and chirped. What unfolded before Augustus' eyes was such a busy scene.
"It's really, energetic." Looking at the chirping children in the crowd, Augustus chuckled as he walked up the train. Pushing his suitcase in the middle of the train, Augustus was preparing to find an empty spot. As he walked by, a round-faced boy said, "Grandma, I lost the toad again." "Ah, Neville." He heard an old woman sigh. A boy with frightening dreadlocks is surrounded by some children. "Let's see and see, Ali, hurry up." The child opened the box he was holding, revealing a long, fluffy leg, which frightened the children around him and screamed and stepped back.
Augustus weaved through the noisy crowd, approached the rear of the train, found a compartment with only two people, opened the door, and entered.
Today was lucky for Harry Potter, first he couldn't find a way to get into the station, he was kindly helped by the family, and then he got to the train, and he met the family again, and now he has made friends with their youngest son, Ron, and while they are discussing the lightning scar on Harry's forehead, the door is opened again.
The dazzling sunlight flooded the entire compartment from the window behind the door, and standing in the doorway was a young man dressed in a white robe, with a light fur and a very chic demeanor, his long golden hair was a little dazzling in the dazzling sunlight, and a pair of silver eyes made him look a little mysterious. The pure white Hai Dongqing standing on his shoulders also looked very arrogant.
"Excuse me, is there still a place here?" A cold voice sounded in Harry's ears, it seemed that this person should also be a freshman who entered the school like him, Harry couldn't help but be a little inexplicably happy.
"Of course, please come in." Harry stood up, leaning over to let the boy into the cubicle.
Augustus smiled at Harry, stepped inside, and placed his suitcase on the overhead rack, and sat down when everything was in order. Harry smiled and introduced Augustus, "I'm Harry Potter, and this is Ron Weasley." We are all new students. β
Hearing the name Harry Potter, Augustus's usually plain expression couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise, but it was only a matter of moments, and he returned to his ancient expression. "Well, hello, I'm Augustus Julius. It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm a freshman this year. β
I found that I didn't get entangled in the name Harry Potter, and when I arrived in the wizarding world, Harry, who was like a starry moon, was treated like a little happy as usual.
"Oh my God, Julius? The Julius family? Is that the Julius family, who are rich in the Minister of Magic? Compared to Harry, who was always ignorant of the wizarding world, Ron's reaction was obviously more exaggerated.
"Well, if it's Julius, it should be." As if he didn't feel anything proud, Augustus said to Ron with a calm expression.
"This eagle of yours is so beautiful, what's its name?" Looking at the pure white sea east green on Augustus's shoulder, Ron said with some envy.
"It's called Chelsea." Reclining in his seat, Augustus brushed Chelsea's feathers and said a little lazily.
"I also have a rat that Percy threw away." Ron said, reaching into the pocket of his jacket and pulling out a fat gray rat that was sleeping. "It's called Spotted, it's useless, and I can't wake up all day. Percy became a prefect, and my dad gave him an owl, and they couldn't afford itβI mean, so they gave me the mouse. Ron's ears flushed. He seemed to feel that he was talking too much, and he began to look out the window again.
Augustus looked at the mouse lying on the table as if unconscious, and showed an inexplicable smile.
