(11) Platform nine and three-quarters

"Is there no tuition at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Does accommodation cost nothing? ”

Missy and Gwen both have good family conditions, Gwen has a research job of her own, and Missy also has a job as a broadcaster at Imperial State University.

A large part of the reason why they didn't rush to the Clinton North train station in the first place was because they had to pack their bags.

Their hiking bags contained a change of clothes, skin care products and other daily necessities, and they each withdrew $5,000 in cash to pay for school fees and groceries.

Both wizardry and wizardry schools and ordinary schools require daily expenses, but they didn't expect that Hogwarts costs less than $1,500 a year, which is a pittle compared to the cost of Imperial State University.

"That's basically all you have to spend, the school has no tuition, and it's free to use any equipment on campus, including the school's dormitories. It's just that the school's equipment is expensive, and some things are unique to the school, so if you break something, the average family can't afford to pay for it. If you don't have perfect control over magic, it's best to use it in the open. ”

Seeing so many teenagers going to Hogwarts, the mysterious school of witchcraft and wizardry at Hogwarts really exists in this world.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, almost all the teenagers waiting for the driverless old steam train stood up, packed their bags, and put on cotton clothes.

There are only platforms 9 and 10 at Clinton Station, and there are no 9 and 3 quarters platforms at all, especially since Gwen is looking around and there is no plaque marking the 9 and 3 quarters platform.

Platform 9 and 3/4 should be somewhere between platforms 9 and 10 according to the numerical relationship, but platform 9 to 10 has only a few stone pillars and a vacant lot, and there are no buildings related to the platform at all.

The reason why they didn't ask the seniors was because once the time reached eleven o'clock, the nine-and-three-quarter platform opened, and all of them had to wait for the nine-and-three-quarters platform for the midnight train.

Although ordinary people can't see the moment they rush to the secret door, they can also find someone missing inexplicably, so Dumbledore set the platform opening time to midnight, and it was exceptionally quiet at Clinton Railway Station at midnight.

The students who were studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and those who were going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, lined up in a long line against the stone pillars that were holding them with their hands outstretched.

Gwen and Missy, even most of the freshmen, didn't understand why the group was lining up at the stone pillar between platforms 9 and 10.

In the next scene, a scene that almost all freshmen did not expect happened, the first black brother with a strong physique pulled his pink trolley suitcase, and ran towards the stone pillar without hesitation.

He trotted all the way, getting closer and closer to the stone pillar, and even though he was about to face to face with the stone pillar, he still didn't stop.

"Oh my God! What is that person doing? Gwen, do you know what the hell is going on with him! ”

Missy didn't believe the scene in front of him at all, this black guy was still talking and laughing about rock and roll one moment, and the next moment he didn't hesitate to hit his head against a stone pillar and break the bloodstream.

"I ...... too I don't know ......."

Gwen is a first-class scholar, and she not only knows professional knowledge about biological sciences, but also geography, history, and many other knowledge.

It's just that she really doesn't know anything about magic, whether it's from the Internet, or there are few books about magic and witchcraft.

Her knowledge of magic and witchcraft does not allow her to deal with any of the strange events that take place on the magical journey to Hogwarts.

All she knew was that magic, witchcraft, was a magical force that controlled the forces of nature and the transfer of minds. Neolithic cave paintings depict half-human, half-beast shamans summoning forest gods.

In the ancient Greek era, magic and witchcraft had begun to run rampant in this world, and people believed in gods and demons, and sacrificed their bodies and even souls for gods and demons to obtain magical powers. And in the Middle Ages, under the influence of Catholicism, witches even became synonymous with evil.

However, Gwen thinks that this is the information age, and witches and men should not be treated differently.

The next moment, the black guy had already slammed into the stone pillar, and there was no scene of broken head bleeding.

A powerful wave of energy seemed to surround the stone pillar, and the ripples that rippled like a stone thrown onto the calm water were like a door.

The black guy was swallowed up by the door in the blink of an eye, and a living person disappeared from the world without warning, along with a waist-high trolley suitcase.

Behind him, a well-mannered Asian boy rushed towards the stone pillar like a black boy.

Except for the new students who stared wide in surprise and opened their mouths wide open, all the old students had normal faces, because this was their daily routine, and this was the first gate of their school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Gwen, now I know it's nine and three-quarters station! It turns out that magic really exists in this world, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry really exists, and we really want to be able to fly into the sky like in novels and TV, have the ability to override objects, and we may also be able to control ice and fire, right? ”

At this moment, Gwen and Missy finally stopped having any doubts, because they really caught the fluctuations of strange energy, and they really saw a strange door.

They finally know that magic really exists in this world, not magic performed on stage, but real magic.

"I didn't know anything, and I still thought I was in a dream, and everything in front of me, including you, was happening in my dream."

Gwen has always been calm, but tonight Gwen's worldview crumbles again and again, and the future scientist finally believes that he has stepped into the realm of magic.

"It's your turn!"

"Go ahead! Gwen! ”

At the urging of the fifteen- and six-year-old sisters and Missy behind her, Gwen gritted her teeth, knowing that beyond this door might be the world of magic, where she was going to take the old-fashioned steam train.

She really didn't expect that one day she would be like a fool and crash into this damp, dark and cold red brick pillar, she felt that she was really enchanted, enchanted by magic.

Gwen rushed into the nine-and-three-quarter stone pillar with her backpack on her back, not a piercing pain, but a warmth surrounding her, and the next moment, when she opened her eyes, the world suddenly opened up in front of her.

This is a beautiful world that she can't even imagine, and a building behind her is an ancient European-style railway station with a bell tower.

In front of her was an old-fashioned steam train that should have been silent in the museum for a long time, pulling a dozen carriages and stopping quietly.

On the other side of the train is a white snowfield, which is like a huge white paper, and beyond the snowfield is a pine forest that stretches as far as the eye can see, and the needle-like green leaves of the pine trees are tightly wrapped in the snow.

Every breath is crystal clear and every eye is a picturesque sight.

And in front of Gwen's eyes, a small group of pointy-eared, gray-skinned, knee-high little things, like low-profile little penguins, swayed from side to side in the snow that submerged the roots of their legs, and the leader of the little thing had a quill in his fur hat, fluttering in the air.
