Chapter 14 Train Station and Departure
Chapter 14 Train Station and Departure
Mr. Granger looked aggrieved.
What age is it now, and there is still a place where pounds are not charged! This place is still in the UK!
This resentment is inevitable.
"I see, that's what happened. It is true that the British pound is not used as a currency here, and the wizards use a metal currency called the Golden Galleon. β
Sephiroth understood and explained that Draco gave Hermione a disdainful look of disgust behind Sephiroth.
"Don't worry, do you see that tall house over there? There is Gringotts, a shop owned by goblins, with a centuries-old reputation for good haode, specializing in the transaction of money. There it is possible to exchange pounds sterling and gold galleons at a rate such that 5 pounds is equal to one gold galleon. β
Looking around, Sephiroth pointed to a house in the distance that was obviously tall and had a large plaque.
Following Sephiroth's direction, the Granger family looked over there, and sure enough, the name "Gringotts" was clearly written on the huge sign.
"Also, after you have redeemed the gold Galleons, you just need to go to different stores and buy them according to the list of items in the admission letter. Tell the owner that you're a new Hogwarts student and they'll help you choose your items. There aren't many shops here, so just walk around. Just don't go to those remote corners and alleys. There are also a lot of scum among wizards. β
Sephiroth was kind enough to persuade him, and the corner of his eye clearly gestured in a certain direction.
The veteran Mr. Granger naturally understood Sephiroth's warning. There are bad guys everywhere, that's for sure, and he wasn't naΓ―ve enough to think that a wizard's shijie was like a fairy tale.
You see, even in fairy tales, aren't there still a lot of evil witches or something?
"Thank you so much for your help! Hermione, come over and say hello to your future classmates. β
After a general understanding of the situation in the wizarding world, Mr. Granger was finally relieved, if the professor or everyone here said that the wizard's shijie was beautiful and innocent, then he would be suspicious.
Calling Hermione to greet her future classmates is naturally not just a matter of communication, in this unfamiliar place, Sephiroth, the descendant of a wizarding family, does not seem to be easy to talk to, and Mr. Granger, who looks like a human spirit, does not hurry up to find a backer for his daughter.
After entering the school, the Granger couple had no way to follow up, and if they needed help at that time, they would have to find these classmates from the wizarding family. Those new Muggles, who are also Muggles, probably can't even take care of themselves.
"You, hello! My name is Hermione, Hermione Jane Granger. β
Hermione plucked up the courage to walk up to Sephiroth and Draco and say hello to them, she always had a low self-esteem about this new shijie.
A Muggle girl who doesn't know anything, she has to think about whether she won't be able to keep up with the rest of her classmates if she doesn't know a word of magic when she goes to school.
"Hello, beautiful young lady. I'm Sephiroth Black Sterling, and this is my buddy Draco Malfoy. β
"Hello."
Sephiroth naturally responded with a gentle smile at the first time, and such a humble and gentlemanly posture made Hermione, who was originally worried, relax a lot. And Draco reluctantly replied under Sephiroth's gaze, if it weren't for Sephiroth's face, he wouldn't have paid attention to the Muggle girl.
"Then, thank you again for your help, and we won't bother you."
Mr. Granger could tell from Draco's attitude that they didn't seem to be very welcoming. Naturally, Mr. Granger would not be cheeky any longer, so he nodded at Sephiroth and left with his wife and daughter in the direction of Gringotts.
"Finally gone, why do you bother with these Muggles? You don't like a Muggle girl with such thick front teeth, I hate her messy hair. β
Draco muttered in dissatisfaction with his hands on his chest, but he was also genuinely worried about whether his friend really had a crush on the Muggle girl, and if it was, it would be too bad.
As an ancient wizarding family, the patriarch of House Stirling would not allow such Muggles to be added to his family tree. If Sephiroth had been hardened, he might have fallen out with his own family.
"How is it possible, you are thinking too much. I just saw it, and I helped them in the spirit of a gentleman's obligation. β
Glancing at Draco lightly, Sephiroth's gaze still showed that cold and rational light, which reassured Draco.
"Well, let's not mention those pesky Muggles, let's go see our pets. What kind of pet do you want, owl? β
Draco, who had relaxed, didn't want to argue with his friend about this issue anymore, since the other party had already said no, naturally there really wasn't.
"I still prefer cats to owls. Anyway, we already have a lot of owls at home, so we can't afford to buy another one. β
Sephiroth didn't want to take care of the ones who shed their hair everywhere, and he would even say that if it weren't for the school's rule that he could only keep owls, toads, and cats, he would have preferred to raise turtles that he didn't have to take care of so much time himself.
Soon, Sephiroth and the others arrived at the door of the "Fantastic Zoo".
Oh, my God!
Before they could enter the door, a sickeningly thick temperature poured into their nostrils. Draco and Sephiroth took a few steps back, trying to avoid the terrifying stench.
Metal cages fill every space in the store, leaving only a narrow path for people to walk.
As Merlin swears, Sephiroth doesn't want to go into this place. The narrow aisle is a normal pedestrian for children, not to mention Hagrid's size, and even some burly adults are estimated to have to lean sideways to enter.
Smoked by the smell of animals, Sephiroth never wanted to stay here any longer. He and Draco hurriedly picked out two pets before hurrying out of the place filled with the astonishing smell.
"Huhuhu! I couldn't hold it anymore, I thought I was going to die there. β
After a moment's trot, Draco said breathlessly as he leaned his knees against the wall.
In order to avoid inhaling those foul smells as much as possible, when the two of them are in front of the pet store, they can not talk without talking, and they can not breathe without breathing.
"I'm going home and taking a good shower, I feel that my clothes are stinking, and I don't want to wear this dress again."
Draco lifted his sleeve and sniffed it, wondering if it was a psychological effect or if his nose had just been burned and hadn't recovered, he felt that the dress was all the smell of the clothes.
"Me too, so let's separate here. See you on the train the day after tomorrow! β
Sephiroth's cleanliness problem had flared up, and he was now eager to get home and go into the bathroom so he could rinse himself.
Damn the guys! weishenme: Can't they haode clean the shop?
Hurrying back to the house, Sephiroth couldn't wait to enter the bathroom and stripped naked. The muscles of the body that have been exercised and are not obvious are exposed.
Time flies like water, and time flies by. The sun rises and sets, and the time to set the day after tomorrow is fast approaching.
As it was her first time at school, the worried Mrs. Stirling had to pack Saphiroth's luggage several times back and forth, and personally dropped him off at the train station, telling Sephiroth's sister to take good care of her brother at school.
In front of the train station
Great Sterling gave a zuihou explanation to Sephiroth, "No matter where you are, remember one sentence, the pride of pure-blood wizards is born noble!" β
"Yes, Father. I will never let the Stirling family be disgraced by me. β
Carrying his luggage, Sephiroth assured his father, Grand Sterling, before getting into the car.
"So, be careful all the way."
Looking at Sephiroth silently, Mr. Stirling the Great looked at his most proud child, who would surely bring more glory to the Stirling family at school.
Because, this is his proud child.
There were a lot of people at the train station, and everyone was carrying or pushing large and small luggage, and because all the students of the school had to take this train back to school today, this small platform became very crowded.
After saying goodbye to his parents, Sephiroth did not stop any longer and got on the train directly.
Since he has an older sister, he doesn't have to work hard to carry bags to school like other classmates. A single [Traceless Stretching Spell] can solve everything.
"Then, my sister will go to the senior carriage first, Sephiroth, you take care of yourself."
After taking Sephiroth on the train and finding a carriage for him and settling in, his sister was leaving.
This is the freshman carriage, and the carriage of the senior students after the separation is further ahead, and each age has its own carriage. It's not that you can't sit anywhere else, but after the start of the train, the prefect will sign in by name, and you have to wait until the prefect takes the roll call.
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself, I can travel abroad on my own."
Waving at his sister, Sephiroth told her not to worry about herself, he was not an ordinary child, and in terms of magical strength, the average second or third year old was not his opponent. What can a bunch of hairy kids who don't even know basic magic do to him?
Because he came early, Sephiroth was alone in the carriage, and he directly occupied the entire carriage, took out the porcelain pot and teacup for making black tea, filled the whole table, and began to drink tea leisurely.
