Volume 1 I Don't Want the Philosopher's Stone Chapter 5 A trio destined to meet
Daphany was a little relieved, although Bellatrix was imprisoned in Azkaban early because of herself, but the inevitable power of creation was strong after all. Neville's parents were still in St. Mungo's Hospital, and still because of the Diamond Curse! Neville is still a little timid because he lacked the protection of his parents since he was a child. But Daphany knew that beneath this cowardly exterior was a Gryffindor heart that was even more than a little savior!
But wait...... Suddenly another question occurred to Daphany. Neville touches himself, so his toad won't run away easily! It's not easy to run away right under her nose! Then Hermione wouldn't have spun around the train to help Neville find Toad, and she wouldn't have run into the Savior and Ron...... Well, that sounds like a bad change!
Daphany was pondering, and a slightly arrogant and slightly excited, but deliberately suppressed, very polite voice came: "Excuse me, can I sit here?" ”
When Daphne heard the voice, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she tilted her head, and there was a little girl with long brown fluffy hair and a pair of slightly larger front teeth standing at the door - Hermione Granger!
"Dafanie Lestrange!" Hermione also recognized Daphany at a glance, although the two were not familiar with each other in elementary school, but as opponents who fell in love and killed each other for five years to compete for the first place in the grade, Hermione naturally knew Daphany.
"Hello, Miss Granger!" Daphany smiled: "It's really unexpected to see you here!" ”
"You, you...... Are you also a magician? "Compared to Daphany, Hermione was really surprised. Speaking of which, when she was admitted to Hogwarts, Hermione still had some regrets, she never really defeated Daphany in her six years of elementary school. The rankings of the two have always been up and down in each other's grades. Hermione had wanted to defeat Daphany in middle school. Instead, he received an offer from Hogwarts. Hermione, who had been a little disappointed that she didn't have a chance to compete with Daphany again, never expected to meet her opponent again on the train to Hogwarts.
"Yes, I was born into a family of magicians!" Daphany smiled, "It's Miss Granger, I'm surprised to be here!" There was surprise on her lips, but there was no hint of surprise in Daphany's expression.
"Humph!" Hermione raised her head arrogantly: "How about the magician family, just now, I regret that I can't completely separate from you, now it's okay, we can continue!" ”
"So......" Daphany smiled wickedly, but it was fleeting. Pretending to be sincere, he stretched out his right hand: "It's an honor!" Hermione was stunned for a moment, then reached out as well, and the two of them held hands together. Well, the little hands are so tender and smooth! This was Daphany's idea.
Later, Daphany introduced Hermione and Neville. Neville still didn't dare to speak loudly, and Hermione didn't appear too aggressive in front of strangers, and made a good appearance.
The train moved slowly, and Daphne and Hermione didn't continue chatting, the two of them weren't really familiar, and they weren't friends yet. So there is a bit of a lack of topic. As for Neville, if you don't take the initiative to talk to him, he won't take the initiative to say a word.
Daphany was paying attention, and a little boy with red hair and freckles passed by the doorway, glanced inside, and hesitated not to enter. If there were no surprises, it would have been Ron Weasley. Apparently he felt that there were a little too many people in this private room, so he chose to find a private room with fewer people. Daphine knew that he would find the little savior and become Harry's first classmate friend in the wizarding world. Of course, it should probably be the second now, after all, Daphany already knew him in Diagon Alley.
"Levy!" Just as Daphany and Hermione stared, Neville suddenly exclaimed, "Ralph is gone, it's gone again!" Speaking of the latter, his tone already had a hint of crying. Lev is his pet toad.
Daphne frowned slightly, she had noticed that the toad was lying on the seat next to Neville. But it's empty now! That toad actually ran away again? Right under your own nose!
Daphne frowned slightly, and quietly unleashed a probe spell. To my slight surprise, the toad was motionless in its original place, but it was invisible!
Shapeshifter blood! Daphany was the first to make a judgment. This toad has an extremely thin shapeshifter bloodline. Shapeshifters are low-level magical creatures, somewhat similar to chameleons, that blend in with their surroundings. However, the effect is more thorough. It's a complete blend of in, with no traces at all. This toad's shapeshifter bloodline is very thin, and it will automatically become invisible after a period of immobility, rather than being able to control it at will like a shapeshifter. This also explains why a fat toad always disappears from time to time in the original book!
Interesting, Daphany thought it was funny. She didn't mean to debunk it, because Hermione had already offered to help Neville find the toad!
Miss Hermione really had a big heart, so she took Neville and Daphany from box to box. Neville who followed her, without saying a word, was about to die of nervousness, but she didn't care. Daphany watched with interest from box to box. Some can guess the identity at a glance. For example, the pair of twins with red hair and freckles on their faces are naturally the Weasley brothers. A pair of extremely beautiful oviparous sisters dressed in Indian attire should be the Petyr sisters.
During this time, there was one person who made Daphany pay special attention. It was a girl of Asian descent, and she looked about the same grade as Daphany and the others. Either a freshman or a sophomore. It was an extremely beautiful girl, and Daphany's eyes lit up at the sight of it. If nothing else, it should be the Cho Chang that haunted Harry for a while!
Daphany didn't rush into contact with Qiu Zhang, anyway, there was time!
Finally, led by Hermione, the three of them arrived at the private room where the little savior was. Just like the original plot, Ron is preparing to cast a spell on his mouse!
"Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost the toad...... Oh? Are you working magic? Then let me see! As in the original plot, Hermione immediately walked up and sat down with great interest when she saw Ron working magic.
Harry's eyes lit up when he saw Daphany, and he greeted happily, "Hey! Daphine! ”
"Hello, Harry!" Daphany also greeted with a smile: "It's nice to see you here!" ”
On the other side, Ron's spell has failed. But Daphany could tell that the spell, as strange as it sounded, was a valid spell! But the spell didn't work in the end, for the simple reason that it didn't work! Daphany looked at the snack rat with interest. Peter Pettigrew's strength is not the best among the Death Eaters, but it is also better than the average adult wizard! With Ron's magic, his low-level spell naturally couldn't have an effect on Peter. Unless Peter intended to cooperate with him.
Hermione had lost interest in Ron after his failed spell cast, but she was slightly stunned when she heard Daphne and Harry greet him, and then looked at Harry closely. Harry's glasses had been repaired by Daphany. She hadn't had a chance to show off the Repair Charm, but that didn't stop him from noticing the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's head!
"Harry, Harry Potter! You're Harry Potter! Hermione looked excited.
"Ah...... Yes! Rao was used to many people in the wizarding world knowing him, and Hermione's reaction still made Harry a little at a loss. I can only nod. And then there was Hermione Bala Bala and Bara said a whole bunch of them.
"Look, I told you!" Daphany grinned and said, "Harry, you're going to be famous at school," and then looked at Ron, who was a little confused, and greeted with a smile, "My name is Daphany, Daphany Lestrange, you should be a Weasley child, right?" ”
"Ahh Yes, my name is Ron, Ron Weasley! Ron obviously didn't expect Daphany to take the initiative to greet him, and nodded repeatedly, but then frowned slightly: "Lestrange? Is Bellatrix Lestrange your family? ”
"Oh?" Daphany didn't expect Ron to know about his Death Eater mother, but she didn't deny it: "No surprise, you should be talking about my mother!" ”
Ron's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"What's wrong? Ron? Harry noticed something was wrong with his new friend and asked a little strangely. He had a good memory, and vaguely remembered that in Diagon Alley, Hagrid had mentioned Daphne's mother.
"Her mother is a Death Eater, a follower of the Mystery! A very evil dark wizard! Compared to Hagrid, Ron, who was only eleven years old, was obviously a little more brainless. He opened his mouth and said it.
The scene was a little awkward for a while.
"But......" Harry was a little puzzled, a little puzzled, "I think Daphany is very good!" ”
"The behavior of fathers cannot represent their children in the first place!" Compared to Ron, although Hermione knew something about Voldemort and his men's actions, she was not a member of the wizarding world before and did not feel deeply. Compared with Ron, who just met, of course, Daphany, who went to school together for five years, is closer. Hermione didn't hesitate to explain for Dafanie.
Hermione's personality is really like this, very protective! Daphine thought.
"I, I think too, Daphany is a good person!" A slightly low, but rather determined voice came, but Neville, who had been following Hermione without speaking, stood up bravely at this time: "My parents were hurt by the Dark Wizard. But I don't think it has anything to do with Daphany. Daphany ...... Daphany is my friend! Neville's voice grew louder and firmer.
"Thank you, Neville, and of course, Hermione!" Daphne smiled softly, her gaze swept over Neville, a strange gleam in her eyes. Sure enough, it's the real Gryffindor! Although I am a little timid now because of family reasons, I can still stand up without hesitation for the sake of my friends!
"I didn't say anything else~" Ron didn't mean anything else, but his mouth turned faster than his brain. At this time, seeing everyone's reaction so big, I was a little overwhelmed for a while, but I still refused to admit my mistake and whispered. In the bottom of my heart, I hated Daphine even more. Of course, Daphany doesn't know this now, and even if she does, she doesn't care.
