Chapter 2 On the Train

On September 1, Brandi said goodbye to his parents, who were reluctant to live in a hurry between the two of them, and entered King's Cross Station alone.

As he trotted towards the stone wall between platforms nine and ten, Brandy thought he was going to be knocked over, and even Yale on his shoulder let out a scream as if he was going to be ****ed...... But magic turns out to be a clever ability. He walked through a dark corridor and didn't touch anything...... He's still flying...... He slowly opened his eyes......

A bright red steam locomotive is waiting to depart on a crowded platform. A sign in the middle of the front of the train reads "Hogwarts Express, departing at eleven"

"Whew......" Brandi wiped the cold sweat from his head and found that the place where the ticket box was originally placed was now an iron bar, marked "Platform Nine and Three-Quarters", and he succeeded!

The steam locomotive's spewing smoke gathered over the heads of the chattering crowd, and cats of all colors swirled around the feet and shoes of the people. The owls barked at each other in an unpleasant way. Their cries outweighed the noise of people dragging, pulling, patting, and knocking on heavy suitcases.

He originally thought that it should be quite early to arrive at the platform ten minutes early, and it should not be difficult to find a better seat, but who expected that the first few carriages were already crowded with students. Some of the students in the car poked their heads out of the windows to talk to their relatives, and some were still arguing for seats. Brandi dragged his luggage to the back carriages, and as he passed a little boy with a round face, a black object jumped onto his luggage.

A toad!

"Meow!"

Yale immediately exploded, grinning at the creature, but Yale was too small, and its threat was not imposing, but cute......

"Excuse me!" The round-faced boy said apologetically, "It's so energetic, and it will find a way to escape at every turn." ”

"That's fine, but you have to be careful, there are so many people now, it wouldn't be good if you let it be lost."

A boy with his hair tied is surrounded by a small group of people. Brandi dragged his luggage and leaned in with a little curiosity.

"Lee, show us."

The boy lifted the lid of a box in his hand, and a long, furry foot protruded from it. Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but scream. Yale snorted disappredly on Brandy's shoulder, making a look of disdain in her humanity. It doesn't like to run around like the toad of the round-faced boy, it always likes to sleep on Brandy's shoulder, or show its white belly in Brandy's arms and let the owner tickle him, Brandi always thinks that this is a pet, it's just a big lady! By the way, Yale is a little female cat, and in order to verify Yale's gender issue, Brandi's face was weathered, and he was in tears when he talked too much.

"Huh~~" After a difficult walk, Brandi finally found a box with a vacant seat near the back of the train.

There were already two people in the box.

"Well, is there still a place here? The rest of the place is already full. Brandi asked.

"No, sit here." As if hoping for someone to talk to him, one of the boys with black hair and black-rimmed glasses said enthusiastically, and offered to help him carry his luggage. However, he seemed to be a little malnourished and didn't have a lot of strength, and it was only after the two of them dragged and dragged him that Brandi's oversized luggage was stuffed into the luggage rack.

"Oh my god... You've done me a great favor! The things that the school asked to prepare were very heavy, and Brandi, who had put down his burden, sat down next to his black-rimmed glasses with a comfortable face. To introduce myself, my name is Brandi Barton. ”

"Harry, Harry Potter." Harry held out his hand and shook Brandy's hand amicably, "This is Ron, Ron Weasley, he's got a whole bunch of wizarding brothers!" ”

"Hah! That's awesome, my family is Muggles, I've never been exposed to magic before, and I got a good idea of magic after buying a book at the Blotts. Brandi was amazed.

However, for some reason, Ron looked a little sad.

"Five, I'm the sixth in my family to go to Hogwarts. You might say that I have a lot of role models and goals to strive for, and that my life is secure, and that Bill and Charlie have both graduated – Bill is the class leader and Charlie is the captain of the flying team. Now Percy is also a prefect, and Fried and George, although they like to mess around, are both very good, and everyone thinks they are really good at comedy. Everyone expects me to do as well as my brothers, and even if I can, people take it for granted because my brothers have done it. If you have five older brothers, you won't get new gadgets. Bill's old robes, Charlie's broken wand and Percy's idiot rat are all mine now. ”

Ron glanced warily at Brandi's Yale and saw that it was sleeping soundly. Reassuringly, he took out a chubby, sleeping gray squirrel from the inner pocket of his jacket.

"It's called Spotted, and it sleeps all day long, and it's such a useless waste. Percy got an owl from his dad as a reward for being class president, and I couldn't afford it...... I mean, I'm only spotted. ”

The tips of Ron's ears were red, perhaps because he felt he was talking too much, and he stared out the window again.

Brandi doesn't think it's a sin to not be able to keep an owl. In fact, his family was not wealthy, but just as he was about to comfort Ron, Harry told Ron about his sad past, such as being forced to wear his brother's ragged clothes and never receiving a decent birthday present. It seemed to make Ron's mood a little better.

After chatting happily with the three of them, it was soon half past twelve, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the carriage, and I saw a salesman with dimples on his lips when he smiled pushed open the box and said to them: "Children, what do you want to buy?" ”

Harry, who hadn't eaten breakfast yet, jumped for joy, but Ron's ears turned red again, and he stumbled that he had brought a sandwich. Brandi didn't have any extra money to buy snacks, not to mention that before leaving, her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes and yelled at him that she would die if she didn't finish her lunch!

Harry didn't care so much, he pulled out a handful of change, bought a whole bunch of snacks, grabbed a pumpkin pie and took a bite of it. Ron took out a bulging pouch and opened it, revealing four sandwiches inside. He tore one of the pieces open with his hand and said, "She always forgets that I don't like corned beef." Brandi also complained, taking out his lunch, a pizza with black pepper and chicken. My mom really likes to add black pepper to everything.

Harry picked up a piece of pumpkin pie and said to the other two, "Come on, let's change it." According to him, he has never had anything to share with anyone, or no one to share with him, and for him, it is a pleasure to eat together.

"Wow! Brandi, your mom's pizza is so delicious~"

"Delicious...... Then you should eat more...... I've had enough of black pepper! ”

"Ahh It's so dry...... Water... Water! ”

Everything is strange in the wizarding world, even the food! Brandi is interested in trying to eat Bibi multi-flavored beans that Ron reveals can taste all kinds of magical flavors, Harry is battling a chocolate frog that jumps around, and Ron is munching on a bubble gum that blows colorful bubbles......

"Be careful," Ron admonished Brandi, "it's a veritable flavored bean."

"You might have universal flavours like chocolate, peppermint, lemon, or weird flavours like spinach, pork liver, offal. George said he had a very unpleasant taste. Ron spat out the gum, picked up a green bean, looked at it carefully, and took only a small bite.

"See, like this, green pea flavor."

They had a great time eating the beans, and Brandi had the toast, coconut, baked, strawberry, curry, grass, coffee, and sardine beans, and even had enough courage to eat some weirdly colored beans.

He was so bold that he ate a pink bean at Ron's bean......

"Uh......" Brandy's face immediately turned purple, "Damn, it smells of paint." ”

"Haha~~" Harry curled up laughing next to him, and Brandi threw a yellow bean into Harry's mouth, and Harry immediately stopped laughing.

"Phew~Phew~ something!"

Brandi guessed that seeing Harry so disgusting, maybe it was Kim Kolla's!

The countryside scenery that flies quickly outside the window gradually becomes more and more desolate. The leveled fields are out of sight, replaced by dense woods, meandering rivers and dark green hills. Brando was a little curious, how could a vast magic academy in England be hidden in a country of almost 40 million people.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and the little round-faced boy that Brandi had seen on the platform of Nine and Three-Quarters walked in crying.

"I'm sorry!" He sobbed, "Have you seen a toad?" ”

Seeing Brandi and shaking his head, the boy cried, "It always wants to run away from me!" ”

"It'll go back." Harry reassured him.

"Perhaps," said the boy sadly, "if you see it, please tell me." With that, he left.

"I really don't understand why he's so sad, that's a toad!" Ron said, "If it were me, I'd love to throw it away." But ......"

"Look at my spots! I know to sleep all day long, and I can't lose it if I want to! ”

The lazy mouse was still asleep on Ron's feet. Brandi suddenly began to wonder why his Yale didn't react when he saw Spotted, and why cats were not interested in mice?

"Hey! Yale! Brandi gestured to the cat on his shoulder, "Look, there's a mouse!" ”

"Whew~meow" Yale opened his eyes and looked at the spots, snoring and fainting again......

"Your Yale probably thought Spotted was dead...... If you don't know about it, you'll think it's dead. Ron said with some hesitation, "I wanted to turn it yellow yesterday to make it look more interesting, but the magic didn't work out." I'll show you ......."

He rummaged through the suitcase for a long time, then pulled out a wand with a white glow on the end.

"The unicorn fur is already exposedβ€”but,"

Ron chanted the incantation, raised his wand, and was about to cast a spell, when the compartment door opened again, and the boy who had thrown the toad came to them again, only this time a little girl came with him. She has changed into a new Hogwarts robe. "Has anyone seen a toad? Neville's toad is gone. She spoke in a tone that seemed to be giving orders, and some of them were unsightly. But to be able to bother to help others find other people's things, maybe at least very kind-hearted. She has messy brown hair and a pair of front teeth, which makes Brandi think she resembles a long-haired rabbit with an unrestrained shape, eh, or ...... Beaver?

"We said we didn't see it." Ron said. But the girl didn't seem to hear it, as she was staring at the wand in Ron's hand.

"Oh, are you casting a spell? Let's open our eyes. ”

She sat down next to Ron, who looked startled.

"Uh...... All right! Ron cleared his throat and tapped his wand lightly on Spotted's body.

"Daisies, sweet cream, and sunshine, turn this stupid fat mouse yellow......"

(What a naΓ―ve spell...... Brandi pouted.

Ron waved his wand, but nothing happened. The spots are still gray, and they are still sleeping in the right fragrance.

"Are you sure it's a spell?" The girl said, "It doesn't seem to work." I've tried a few spells at home, and they all work. None of my family members were magicians, so I was very surprised when I received the offer, and of course, I was happy because it was the best school to study magic. I've memorized all the textbooks, so I hope it's enough. By the way, my name is Hermione Granger, what about you? ”

She spoke as fast as a cannon. But what is even more amazing is that she actually memorized the book......

"I'm Ron Weasley." Ron muttered.

"Brandi Barton, nice to meet you." Rarely touched the thigh of a student who looked like a scholar, Brandi quickly pounced, and if there was any magic problem in the future, at least someone could ask it.

"I'm Harry Potter."

"Wow! Is it really you? Hermione asked. I know all about you. Of course - I bought a few more reference books, "A History of Modern Magic", "The Rise and Fall of the Black Arts", "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century", all of which mention you. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, I don't think I'm happy at all. ”

"Do you know which house you're going to be sorted into? I've asked around, I'd like to get a Gryffindor, and they say it's the best, and I've heard that Dumbledore himself graduated from there, but I don't think Ravenclaw is too bad, anyway, we'd better go to Neville's toad credit first. You'd better get dressed quickly, knowing that we'll be there soon. ”

She pulled Neville out of the place.

"It doesn't matter where I get it, as long as I don't get with her! She has a lot to say! Ron let out a long sigh of relief as he frantically threw his wand back into the box, "I knew that the spell was told to me by George, and I'm sure he knew it didn't work." ”

However, when he looked back, he saw that both Harry and Brandi were looking at him with subtle eyes.

"Ron......

"What's wrong?"

"You just seem to have thrown the unicorn fur out of your wand."
