27, train

Naturally, the person who came was Aglaia.

An arrogant girl who thinks she can understand everything. One against Galileo, against Copernicus's high degree of egocentrism, the most Ravenclaw's.

"Your way of greeting is chic," Hoffa said cautiously.

"Hmph. ”

She folded her fists and approached Hoffa with her arms crossed, her blue eyes filled with irrepressible excitement.

She walked over to Hoffa, almost clinging to him. The palm of his hand was across the top of his head, and his mouth made a slurping sound.

Hoffa couldn't help but take a step back, he already knew why Aglaia was so close to him.

Sure enough, she teased and said, "Yo~ Bach, haven't you eaten all summer vacation? ”

Yes, she was so close to Hoffa that she was taller than him.

Girls of the same age always develop earlier than boys, and Miranda has grown a lot taller, but Aglaia has grown more, and she is even a little taller than Hoffa.

When it comes to the laws of nature, Hoffa doesn't have a very good solution.

He said lukewarmly, "You wait, wait until I'm 20 years old." ”

"Cut, I'm taller than you at 20. Aglaia shook her arm in disdain.

At this time, Hoffa noticed a very ornate decorative ring on Aglaia's wrist.

It is about five centimeters wide and is studded with jewels and jadeite, with intricate gold threads and patterns outlined around the edges. It's like the ornament that a top Hollywood actress wears when she attends the Oscars.

"What's that?"

Hoffa pointed to her wrist and couldn't help but ask.

"This?"

Aglaia raised her hand, shook it, and showed off, "Is it pretty?"

"It's nice to look good. ”

Hoffa muttered, adding in his heart, that is, it doesn't match your age.

Aglaia: "This is my mother's birthday present, hee-hee, but it's an old antique from my house." ”

Miranda looked into the distance and asked, "Your parents sent you?"

As soon as she said this, Aglaia immediately pouted: "Hey, I don't need my parents to send it, they have to come with me." ”

Hehe.....

Hoffa rolled his eyes and turned his head to look in the direction of Aglaia's parents, he wanted to see what kind of people could raise such freaks, but they had disappeared into the fog.

The three of them got on the school bus, found an empty carriage and sat down, and soon after the train started with a clatter.

"I've heard that Professor Goshak has gone to the Far East, will there be a new Charms teacher this year?" asked Miranda curiously as soon as he sat down.

Miranda frowned, "No, I've never heard Adebay say that the school is going to have a new Charms teacher. ”

Aglaia: "It must have been arranged, but he didn't tell you, otherwise what would we have in Charms class?"

Hoffa tilted his head: "Maybe you can teach us the spell." ”

Miranda laughed: "What are you kidding, how can anyone be a teacher at the age of 12." ”

I became a teacher at the age of 12, but I really didn't. Fifty years later, Harry had been a teacher at the age of fifteen, in his fifth grade, Hoffa thought to himself.

After laughing, Miranda said worriedly:

"Adebay is a demanding person, but he has been a dean and vice-chancellor for more than 20 years. At this juncture, who is the school going to be the dean of our college? ”

Hearing her say this, Aglaia and Hoffa looked at each other, and both fell silent.

Teachers are actually easy to find, wizards who are proficient in magic spells grab a handful, but the dean of a academy is not so easy to find. In later generations, there were so many teachers in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and I didn't see anyone who became the dean as soon as they came in.

Hoffa looked at the Ravenclaw students in the next carriage talking and laughing, and thought to himself that he was afraid that these Ravenclaws did not know that their dean had gone to the Soviet Union.

The two girls chatted beside Hoffa, who kept his attention out the window.

The young wizards around were running around, playing excitedly.

From time to time, the door of the carriage where the three of them were located would be opened, and some boys with excited, obsessed, and shy expressions appeared at the door of the carriage and greeted Aglaia.

Just because Hoffa can't be influenced by Meiwa doesn't mean that others won't be affected by Meiwa's bloodline.

The boys not only came, but also brought gifts, and Aglaia, with a skillful and perfunctory mouth, took off the precious bracelet on his wrist and stuffed it into his suitcase.

Finally, the tireless Miranda drew the curtain and cast a silent spell on the door.

The carriage fell silent, and Miranda was about to sit back when the train suddenly braked suddenly. With a shrill chirp, Miranda sat on Aglaia's lap in surprise.

The two girls looked at each other.

The car is parked?

What's going on.

Hoffa drew his wand and got up to look outside. There were also a lot of curious heads poking out in the other carriages, whispering to each other.

Hoffa bent down to look out the window, where there was still strong wind and fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"It's almost time to school. Miranda asked.

Aglaia glanced at Hoffa's watch: "Well, if the distance is correct, it may not be more than a kilometer." ”

Looking at the thick gray fog outside, Hoffa said in a solemn voice.

"Could it be a Dementor?"

"Dementors, Azkaban's guards?"

Aglaia sneered, "Hoffa, why are your brain circuits so peculiar, those guys won't leave Azkaban easily." ”

"Oh, I know that kind of thing. Miranda held up a finger and said, "Isn't that thing afraid of the Patronus?"

"Do you have a Patronus Charm?" asked Hoffa.

"No, I've never seen a Dementor. Miranda said lightly, "But this is definitely not a stop caused by the Dementors, there is no change in temperature around it, and it is estimated that the train broke down in the middle of the process." ”

Sure enough, her voice did not fall.

There was a shrill whistle ahead.

Hush!!!

Hoffa saw a signal spell emerge from the fog outside the window, and quickly disappeared into the fog.

At this time, several train attendants appeared in the corridor aisle, and said loudly as they walked: "If you haven't changed your clothes, hurry up and change your clothes, there is a little fault in the tracks, and construction is going ahead." After changing clothes, he quickly got out of the car and followed the Hogwarts guards to the castle as soon as possible. ”

Road construction, Hofa breathed a sigh of relief, laughing at himself for being too sensitive, now there are no fugitives at Hogwarts.

The two girls glanced at each other and walked out the door, and Hoffa quickly drew the curtains and changed into his old robes in the carriage. After changing, Hoffa went out, and Miranda and Aglaia came in to change their clothes.

In the hallway, many young wizards pushed and shoved, slowly stepping off the train through the openings of each carriage.

As soon as I got off the train, countless little wizards around me covered their faces, mouths and noses with robes. Hoffa's hair was blown wildly by the wind, and he felt that BJ's biggest haze was nothing more than that.

Aglaia whistled in the gale: "How can there be such weather in Scotland. ”

Miranda climbed onto the shoulders of Hoffa with her left hand and Aglaia with her right hand, and whispered, "Tarico-Skeya." ”

Suddenly, all the wind blew like on an invisible cover, parting in both directions, and Hofa's hair fell suddenly.

Huo Fa cut his hair: "Thank you." ”

Aglaia: "Shield Charm, I will too." ”

Hoffa: "Okay, if you don't compete for a minute, you'll die." ”

Aglaia muttered under her lips, "I would have ......"

At this time, there was another sharp whistle.

Hush!!

Three figures in black robes quickly rushed over, and their figures gradually became clear in the mist. It turned out to be a wizard dressed as an Auror.

"First-year freshman, come with me!"

One of the Aurors shouted, and a group of first-year students pushed and shoved their way through the crowd.

Another Auror shouted, "Other wizards, follow me." ”

As she walked, Miranda whispered to Hoffa, "Is Joey gone?"

Hoffa nodded, "He took Maya back to the United States." ”

Aglaia muttered to herself, "It seems that this year's hunting grounds are guarded by the Defense Against the Dark Arts Division of the Ministry of Magic, it's really strict." ”

The trio followed the large army slowly on the railroad tracks in the thick fog and strong winds. Occasionally, a few clumsy young wizards stepped on a rock and fell to the ground, causing the others to snicker.

Among them, Hoffa saw a prickly boy with pale blonde hair arrogantly and rudely push away the two Gryffindor students next to him, and taunted them loudly.

It didn't take him far before Hoffa saw why the train had broken down in the middle of the way, and a huge wooden fortress stretched from the direction of the Black Lake into the unseen distance. Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. It has not yet been repaired, and the tracks are piled with thick logs and stones.

The fortress was undoubtedly built in response to the recent violent clashes between wizarding circles in various countries, and upon entering, Hoffa saw many wizards waving their wands on the building.

Passing the fortress with his head tilted, Hoffa muttered.

"It's really well guarded. ”

No one answered, and before I knew it, the voice around me gradually lowered.

Due to the fog, it was not far before the fortress was out of sight. Hoffa felt some moisture around him. The dampness came with the breeze, wetting his hair, and before he knew it, the shield spell Miranda had set for him was gone.

"Hmm? What's going on. Hoffa asked.

No one answered.

The surroundings were a little brighter than before, and Hoffa felt a little strange.

Looking up, there was a huge but vague half-moon in the sky.

The moon was a little too bright and a little too faint in the hazy sky.

He turned his head sharply to look, but the people around him suddenly disappeared.

"Miranda?"

Hoffa shouted.

No one answered.

"Aglaia?"

Still no one answered.

All that was left was the vapor that could not be dissolved, and in a few moments, Hoffa's clothes and hair were wet.

Wrong.

He took two steps, but he still couldn't see anyone, and the scenery didn't change in the slightest.

There was an inexplicable abnormality, Hoffa frowned, didn't move anymore, and tightened the backpack on his back. Quickly analyzing the possible cause of the problem, his first thought was that last year, he had fallen into the illusion of centaur magic, but that time it was because he saw the carving on the oak tree.

But this time, he walked well with a few companions, and inexplicably fell into an abnormality. He tried to open his mental force field, but his spirit force field could not extend even a single inch in the mist.

"Holy. He couldn't help but exclaim.

However, at this moment, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance.

The sound of a booming track is mixed with the sound of mechanical transmission.

Cart?

Train?

Didn't the train stop?

Hoffa was amazed.

The feet began to shake.

Feet?

He bowed his head.

But I found that I didn't know when, the gravel pavement under my feet had long disappeared.

At this moment, he was actually standing on a huge transparent mirror. The fog slowly cleared on the mirror, and the wind around it changed from a light breeze to a violent one.

Boom boom!

The train was louder.

The mirror beneath your feet creates ripples like water.

Woo!!

With a whistle.

The train hits.

The wind blew thick moisture on Hoffa's body.

Hoffa jerked to the side.

Beneath his feet, several huge wheels flashed under Hoffa's feet under the movement of mechanical bearings. He could see every detail on the train's chassis, even a thin track rippling under his feet.

But he didn't wait for him to think about what this situation was.

The water vapor from the extremely fast train completely blurred his vision. In the thick fog, his face was slapped hard.

"Hoffa ......"

"Hoffa!!"

A cold slap slapped him in the face.

Hoffa opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a pair of large, ghostly blue eyes.

Aglaia stuck to her front and yelled anxiously and worriedly, "Hey, what's the matter with you!

"What am I running around?" said Hoffa, stunned.

"You haven't run around yet, where do you see you?"

Aglaia pointed anxiously to the ground.

Hoffa looked down and saw that he was standing on a cobblestone floodplain.

Unknowingly, he moved away from the railroad tracks and walked near the Black Lake.

On the lake, a group of first-year students are sitting in several small wooden boats and holding a traditional crossing ceremony.

In the distance, the towering towers of Hogwarts Castle stand on the opposite bank, brightly lit.

"Do you see that?" asked Hoffa, shocked.

"See what?"

"The train chassis. ”

"What are you talking about, isn't the train stopped?"

Aglaia touched his forehead in annoyance, "Also, why are you soaked?"
