(10) Gwen and Missy's magical journey
At nine o'clock in the evening, Gwen and Missy each carried a hiking bag and jumped down from the lattice window on the second floor.
This is the decision that Gwen and Missy have been thinking about for a day, and Gwen, a child who has never disobeyed his parents, has also been an unfilial son this evening.
Gwen and Missy each leave a note to press under the BDJ doll in Missy's bedroom, in which Missy flatters her strict mother in various ways, and Gwen tells the truth directly to her kind father.
[Sheriff George, yesterday Missy and I received a letter from two owls in our bedroom, in which it was written that we had been accepted into Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry.
These two owls possess human intelligence, and they can not only understand the conversation between me and Missy, but also enjoy the world's famous songs. They seem to have some kind of magic that can be thrown into the night in an instant, and Missy and I have to believe that there really is magic in this world.
I also apologize for saying sorry to Mr. Haydn, if there really is a magical world, if the magical world is really a beautiful and fascinating world, maybe I will put down the experimental test tube and pick up the magic wand.
We don't know what else will happen in this world, we have to protect ourselves, we have to have the ability to protect my family, even if magic can't make my life easier, but I have to take up the staff to protect my family.
Sheriff George, the fighting between us is considered a loss for me, I'm very sorry, drink less beer.
Your daughter, Gwen Stacy. 】
This is Gwen's last resort, as she said in the letter, this world is no longer the world she knows, and she can't imagine how the sheriff father, who is just an ordinary person, can face gangsters with superpowers.
So learning magic is for herself and for her family, and what makes her helpless is that when she calms down, magic still has the magic that attracts her.
She didn't know if the wizarding world existed, and she couldn't convince the sheriff's father of the existence of the wizarding world, so she could only use this method to give her father an advance measure.
Because she didn't know how long she would be able to return after entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and whether she would be able to come and go freely, this letter seemed to be necessary.
The day before yesterday, Gwen also had an unpleasant quarrel with her father George Stacey, because compared to the family Sheriff George, he stuck to his post more, and he would not be seen at the school parent-teacher meeting until everyone was sick, so she called her father Sheriff George, and she was still a little dissatisfied.
It is precisely because of this that she hid in Missy's house alone, and met this owl that changed her fate with Missy.
Learning magic seems to come at a cost, with two girls jumping out of the window, Gwen ripping through her sweatpants to reveal the cashmere winter pants inside, and Missy dropping her ass while clinging to a thick branch.
Learning magic can be incomprehensible to many, including the taxi driver who calls on the phone, but Gwen, who interned at Osborne Biotechnology Co., Ltd., is a wealthy woman among her peers, and she tips her taxi driver.
"Is this the Clinton North Train Station?"
Missy was disappointed by the dark and dilapidated train station, and she couldn't understand why the school of magic had to take a train at this train station.
Now at 10:10 in the middle of the night, the wind is cold, the snow is drifting, and the two girls are "creaking" on the snow on the road. Snowflakes like catkins, snowflakes like reeds, snowflakes like dandelions flutter in the air, and a thick layer of snow accumulates on the dilapidated roof of Hell's Kitchen, and when you stand on the flat roof of a tall building, you can look out like a rolling snow-capped mountain.
The waiting hall of the Clinton North train station flashed with the dilapidated wooden door ajar, and the gloomy environment made Missy's delicate body tremble at first glance.
It's just that there is a different world inside, in this almost abandoned train station, there are nearly fifty people chatting at ten o'clock in the middle of the night in the middle of the winter.
This group of people, whether they know each other or not, get together, play their own small flashlights, and chat all over the world.
"Why are there so many people here?"
Missy looked at the incredible scene in front of her in disbelief, she and Gwen had checked the information about the Clinton North train station, where there would never be more than twenty people even during the day.
When the group saw Gwen and Missy's two lotus flowers, they not only did not greet them, but looked at them with a pair of wary eyes.
"You're all ...... A student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? ”
Gwen was a high-achieving student after all, and she was very smart, and she knew that she was either a teenager who had received a letter from an owl like them, or a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As far as she knew, there were no trains passing through the almost abandoned train station at this time, and it was mostly full of wagons, so there was only one train they were waiting for, and that was the driverless old steam train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Gwen opened the bag outside her backpack and pulled out her acceptance letter, knowing that this might be the only evidence she had to prove herself at Hogwarts.
"What a coincidence! Are you new students at Hogwarts? I also received the letter last night that I came with my mother. ”
Gwen didn't think it was a coincidence, because there were probably no passengers going to the rest of the place here.
It's just that she envies the teenagers who have their families to pack their bags and pack their clothes, because the only one who sends her is the same rebellious girl Missy, and she can't understand how these people convince their families.
"Did you bring any money? Winter cloaks, ash crucibles, quills, wands, etc., cost as little as $300, owls and cages range from $50 to $5,000, feed is calculated separately, textbooks are $100, food costs are $1,000, and the 'original price' of damaged items is compensated! ”
A tall, lanky white teenager with gold wire glasses, who is clearly Gwen Missy's senior, can make a detailed list of Hogwarts fees.
This was changed by Dunlido himself based on the original Hogwarts fees and actual prices.
In the original book, if you go to school at Hogwarts and buy school miscellaneous items in Diagon Alley for at least 1,000 dollars, and you only count them for 300 dollars, the owl will cost more than 250 dollars in the original Hogwarts, and you will get a cage for 50 dollars.
Because they are all systematically extracted, they belong to the operation without capital, so Deng Liduo will at least make a small profit on the sundries.
There is a set of levels for owls and other creatures in his own system, one-star owls are no less than most owls in the original book, and two-star owls are more than twice as strong as one-star owls.
Among these students, there are many rich people with good family conditions, so for the sake of the future operation of the school, Deng Liduo took advantage of the gap between one star and two stars to pit them with some beautiful knives, otherwise Deng Liduo would be uncomfortable.
As the number of students increases, the number of house-elves is becoming less and less, and the supply of feedlots and plantations is becoming more and more weak, so the school needs to buy ingredients outside for the New Year's holidays.
The reason why Dumbledore didn't open the sack and hold the money was because Dumbledore wanted to make a good impression on the students, so that the students could be more comfortable at Hogwarts, and he could also extract more animals, characters, and items in the system.
If nothing else, it costs $150 to take the train in the original book, and their own train is free for them to ride, isn't that interesting enough!
