Chapter 20: The Hogwarts Express
"What are you laughing at, it's your turn, eat quickly. "How can Seamus let herself be alone and hurry up and ask Hermione to eat it too.
Hermione looked at the biscuit in her hand, like a kitten, and thought that it would not be too outrageous, and took a bite of the biscuit, but when she opened her mouth to speak, she made a "huh" sound.
"Hahahaha" Seamus laughed heartily, because this is clearly the voice of a leopard, not as ferocious as the appearance of a leopard, its cry can be said to be very leopard laughter.
It wasn't until Hermione glared at him fiercely that she stopped laughing.
I didn't expect the owner of the biscuit seller to be a playful person who could make so many strange sounds, so Seamus waved his hand, bought all the biscuits, and put them in the telescopic handbag on his waist.
Hermione looked at his retractable handbag with a little envy, these things in the wizarding world were so convenient to use, and all the cookies in a small cart were stuffed into the bag, and there was not the slightest trace of it from the outside. It's really easy to use, with lots of storage space and little weight, making it a must-have for home travel.
Seamus looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but want to tease her, after all, from an adult's point of view, Hermione's appearance just now was really cute. So he took out a cookie and said to Hermione, "Do you want this bag, you eat another cookie, and I'll give you one." ”
Seamus felt that he was now like a perverted middle-aged man who seduced the little girl with a lollipop, and he didn't need to look in the mirror to know that the expression on his face must be very obscene now.
Sure enough, Hermione glared at him fiercely again, turned around and left, seeing that Hermione was a little angry, Seamus hurriedly chased after him, and didn't look at other hawkers, returned to the box, and the two sat facing each other. Hermione didn't even look at him, staring out the window, pretending to be looking at the view.
Hermione was angry for a long time, and Seamus didn't know how to coax the girl at all, because from the previous life to this life, he has always been a single dog, and he has no similar experience at all, and he doesn't have the skill of coaxing a girl at all. Seeing that Hermione had been angry, he had no choice, and he didn't think to say good things, so he could only sit in his seat, took out a book and read it, thinking that after a while, she should not be angry.
Before you know it, the train starts to start, and with a long whistle, the train begins to move along the tracks, slowly accelerating. Although it is called the Hogwarts Express, the speed of this train is about 150 kilometers per hour. After all, it is powered by a steam engine, although there must be magic power on it, but there is no need to run too fast, and the limit of the steam engine itself is also there, unless there is a magic change, otherwise this is estimated to be the maximum speed.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the box, and a little boy with a round face stood outside, a little cringe, "I lost my toad, have you seen it?"
Seeing Seamus and Hermione both shaking their heads, he burst into tears, "I lost it again!
Seeing this scene, Hermione's sympathy suddenly overwhelmed the unhappiness just now, "I'll help you find it, can you tell me what it looks like." ”
Neville stopped crying, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes: "It's called Rifle, it's a toad." ”
Hearing Neville's answer to the horse's mouth, Seamus knew that it was likely to be a fruitless search. This kind of response is as if you are lost, you call someone to ask for directions, and you tell someone that you are on the east side of the moon. However, there is no way, who told himself to have just made Hermione angry, help find it, otherwise what else can it be.
So when Hermione looked back at him, Seamus stood up without hesitation, saying that he would definitely follow along, whether he couldn't find it, he couldn't find it, attitude was still very important. Before starting the search, he asked Neville, "Will you use the Flying Charm, and if you can, you can summon it to your hand." ”
However, it backfired, and Neville shook his head firmly, saying that he wouldn't know anything like that at all.
"Will you fly to the curse, or you will help him summon the toad. Hermione was confused.
Seamus could only explain to her, "To summon something with the Flying Charm, you have to know what it looks like, but I haven't seen his toad at all. ”
Seamus said that there was nothing they could do, and they could only use stupid methods to find them one by one. Sometimes I knock on the door of a box, only to find a man and a woman inside with red faces, and I know what they are doing when I think about it.
It's a pity that even if you look for it like this, it won't come to fruition at all. Until they came to a box with a dark-haired boy and a red-haired boy sitting in it, the red-haired boy was holding a wand as if to cast a spell on his mouse, and there were a large number of snacks on the table, which should have been one from the cart.
Seamus thought to herself, sure enough, she should still come, and the next second, Hermione pushed open the door of the box, "Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost a toad. ”
"We have told him and we have not seen it. Ron said, but Hermione didn't pay attention to it, just looking at the wand in his hand, she also wanted to know what the difference was between herself and the children who grew up in the wizarding world. Although Seamus has said more than once that even children in the wizarding world will not learn much magic before going to Hogwarts, there is no gap between them.
However, Seamus's performance did not make her believe this fact, after all, everything Seamus showed made Hermione feel too amazing, so she wanted to see for herself this time whether Seamus was special, or if all the children in the wizarding world were so good.
"Oh, are you working magic? Let's open our eyes. She sat down.
Her sudden performance made Ron a little overwhelmed, but the good face engraved in his bones made him refuse to back down, "Okay, okay." ”
"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "daisies, sweet cream, and sunshine, turning this stupid fat mouse yellow." ”
He waved his wand, but nothing happened, and Hermione was disappointed when she saw this, "Looks like nothing is happening, are you sure it's really a spell?" ”
Hermione thought to herself, could it be that what Seamus said was true, these children in the wizarding world really hadn't learned magic like herself. So she stood up and walked out of the box, leaving the two people inside staring wide-eyed.
Seamus felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't just watch them embarrass like this, so he smiled and reminded them: "Hogwarts is coming, hurry up and change into your school uniform, or you'll be in a hurry later." ”
After saying that, Seamus walked out, and closed the door with his hand, even if he could watch a good show here later, he didn't plan to stay, after all, it was just a dispute between a few children who didn't understand people.
Eventually, they finally found Neville's toad in the water storage room at the front of the car, much to Seamus's surprise, even more than Harry Potter had just revealed his identity. Because in the original book, once the toad disappears, no one will be able to find it until it appears on its own, perhaps the search efficiency of three people is indeed higher than that of two people.
Anyway, the toad was finally found, "You have to keep an eye on him, or he will be gone, and it will be difficult to find him." Hermione reminded Neville.
Seamus felt that this had no effect at all, unless it was in Dumbledore's hands, otherwise the toad could go whenever he wanted, and Neville would not be able to watch it.
Then they returned to their respective boxes, "Seamus, those children of the wizarding world, are they really like the man just now, taking a nonsense as a spell. ”
Since coming into contact with magic, Seamus has stressed to her countless times that in the face of unfamiliar spells, they must not be used, and there have been accidents due to spell errors, resulting in irreversible damage to wizards, and even loss of life often occur.
This kind of accident is not even rare, and it is not only happened to young wizards, many member wizards will also have accidents because of spell errors, so he can't understand why Ron treats it as a spell when he faces a casual word that others say.
Seeing that Hermione was no longer angry, Seamus explained, "There aren't many people who are as reckless as him, but most of them are really not much better. ”
"Okay, let's get our uniforms on, or it won't be too late. Seamus put the suitcase on the seat and opened the lid, "I'll go inside and change it, and when you're done changing, I'll knock on the box." ”
With that, Seamus climbed down the ladder and closed the lid of the suitcase. He had just climbed down the ladder, and before he could put on his robes, the planks on the top of the ladder were knocked out.
What the hell, I changed my clothes faster than me, I blame the Hogwarts uniforms for being too simple, I just finished changing them after I got off the ladder, and I don't know why I want to avoid suspicion, it's just a coat.
Thinking of these miscellaneous thoughts, he climbed up the ladder again, next time I must replace this ladder with an automatic one, so as not to climb up and down, the operation should not be too difficult, there is no electricity can be replaced by magic, in the end, the elevator is just a noose to drive an iron box.
When he got out of the box, Hermione had just put her robe on, and nothing had changed, without thinking about combing her hair and letting it fall behind her. Even as a girl, she didn't have the slightest idea of dressing up, thinking of the brilliance that Hermione was about to bloom in the fourth grade, maybe it was a woman who pleases herself at that time.
"We just accompanied Neville to find the toad, the snack seller has passed, do you want to eat something. I also brought some food, eat something first, and pad my stomach, I guess I will be hungry for a while before I can eat at Hogwarts. Seamus pulled out a large pile of snacks from the box.
