Chapter 134: From the beginning of the platform of nine and three-quarters
Harry's last month with the Dursleys had not been pleasant. Seriously, Dudley was so frightened by Harry that he didn't dare to stay in the same room with Harry, and Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon didn't dare to lock Harry in the cupboard anymore, or force him to work, or yell at him anymore - in fact, they didn't talk to him at all.
Half out of fear, half out of irritation, they turned a blind eye to Harry's presence. While this is an improvement in many ways, it has become somewhat boring over time.
Harry spends most of his time in his room, with his newly purchased owl as his companion. He decided to call it Hedwig, the name he found in the book History of Magic, and his school textbooks were very interesting. He lay in bed, and read it late into the night, and Hedwig flew in and out of the open window as much as she could. Luckily, Aunt Petunia doesn't come to the room to vacuum anymore, because Hedwig always comes back with dead rats. Harry wrote down the dates of each day up to the first of September on a piece of paper, nailed them to the wall, and ticked the next day's date every day before going to bed.
On the last day of August, Harry decided to talk to Uncle Vernon about going to King's Cross Station, and although it was not a pleasant process, it was a good thing, and they decided to take Harry with him while they were taking Dudley to London, so as to get rid of the threat for a while.
"What are you doing in London?" Harry asked, wishing to keep the friendly atmosphere up.
"Take Dudley to the hospital," growled Uncle Vernon, "cut off that abominable tail before he gets to Smetin!" ”
Well, Harry assured he definitely didn't laugh at the time.
Harry's request proved to be redundant, as the next morning, when the Vernon family was ready to leave, they found a black sports car parked in front of their house, blocking the road.
"Hey, Harry! You're finally out! ”
A platinum-blond haired boy saw them come out and immediately got out of the sports car and hugged Harry.
"How? Surprise! I said I was going to pick you up, but because there were guests at home before, my father didn't approve of me taking you as a guest, but you can come over at Christmas, and you will absolutely like it. ”
"To be honest, I don't feel good about Muggles, but their transportation is pretty good, at least it's more comfortable than riding a broomstick."
Sakura also came, right in the car, but she was a little shy. In fact, the car is also Sakura's, and her godfather is talking to my dad about things, so Sakura and I will pick you up. ”
The driver, a neatly dressed middle-aged man, helped put Harry's salute in the trunk, but luckily there weren't many things, some of them could fit in the front row, and the three children were in the back seat.
Although the attitude towards the Vernon family is a bit bad, but an ordinary family has no idea when facing an ancient nobleman like Malfoy, and their temperament alone makes them dare not complain.
It wasn't until Draco asked the driver to drive away that Vernon realized he had been ignored, but his anger was extinguished by a wad of pounds before he could get out.
"For Merlin's sake, fix your house, you let Harry live in a place like this!"
Draco's voice could be heard in the distance......
"That...... Draco, wouldn't it be nice to do that? Harry said nervously, God, he'd never seen such a large sum of money! Draco actually brought it to Dursley! And where did he get so much money for a child?
"It doesn't matter," Draco said nonchalantly, "they don't dare do anything to you, or I'll make them aware of the difference between Muggles and wizarding nobles." ”
Obviously, the consciousness of the two is not on the same channel.
"No, I mean what are you doing with so much money for Aunt Vernon?"
"Oh, you said this. Of course, in order to make your life better, this kind of house is also for our descendants to live in, they actually abuse you like this, if it weren't for Dumbledore's insistence, I would definitely want them to look good! ”
"Uh...... Okay, thanks, but where did you get all this money? ”
Harry was still a little embarrassed to let the other party spend so much money after only seeing it once, even if it was a friend, it was too warm for people to refuse.
"Of course I asked my father, don't worry, this money is not much Galleons, and the property left to you by your parents is enough for you to move out and live on your own for the rest of your life."
Well, Harry remembered that he was rich too, and was seriously considering Draco's suggestion.
"Don't listen to him, Harry, I asked my uncle, and he said you have to live with your blood family until you are an adult, and now you have only the Dursleys, so you don't have a choice."
Sakura, who has gradually adapted to her new life in the past month, has also become cheerful, because Wang Yi often discusses things with Lucius Malfoy, so Sakura and Draco are also familiar with each other, and they are more relaxed in their conversation.
"What? Why? Harry didn't understand what it meant.
"I can't tell you this just yet, but when you get to Hogwarts, you can ask Professor Dumbledore, he's the headmaster of the school, and he's familiar with your parents, so if he's willing to tell you, it's fine."
"Professor Dumbledore?" ……
When they arrived at the train station, Harry and the three of them went straight in, and there were people to help clean up, which Harry was not very comfortable with, and felt very novel.
"Wait a minute," the three of Harry had already reached the platform, nine on one side and ten on the other, with nothing in between, "where is our platform?" ”
"Uh......" Draco hadn't been here before, but his father wouldn't lie to him...... Right? Who will take the initiative to hit the wall to try the real thing?
"Shall we ask somebody else?" Oh, my God! I was actually embarrassed in front of my friends, and this friend is still Harry Potter, and I must settle accounts with my father when I go back!
Unsure if the method he had heard from his father would work, Draco didn't dare to pack tickets with his friends.
Harry saw a red-haired boy walking between the two platforms, Harry stared at him intently, not even blinking for fear of missing something, but just as the boy reached the junction of the platforms, a large group of passengers suddenly crowded in front of Harry, and when the last large rucksack was removed, the boy was gone!
"Hey, look!"
"Oh yes, redhead, I saw it."
Draco said reluctantly, it seemed that his father hadn't lied to him, but now the limelight was blocked by a group of unfriendly guys.
Harry didn't know about the feud between the Weasleys and the Malfoys, and as a newcomer, he politely walked up to greet the mother of several red-haired children, a stocky woman.
"I'm sorry," Harry said to the fat woman.
"Hello, dear," she said, "is it your first time at Hogwarts?" Ron is also a freshman. She pointed to the last, also her youngest son. The child was thin and tall, clumsy, with a freckleled face, big hands, big feet, and a long nose.
"Yes," said Harry, "the problem is ...... The problem is that I don't know how to go about it......"
"How do I get to the platform?" She said empathetically, and Harry nodded.
"Don't worry," she said, "just go straight to the ticket gate between platforms 9 and 10." Don't stop, don't be afraid, just go straight in, it's important. If you're nervous, you can trot. Let's go, you go first, Ron follows you. ”
"Oh...... Alright," Harry said, then turned to Draco and Sakura and shouted, "Come here!" ”
I saw Draco grinding over with a reluctant face, followed by Sakura, who was afraid of life, looking at the red-haired family with curiosity.
"Are you ......?" The woman said with some uncertainty that the people of that family would not come to the station in such a civilian way, and they would prefer to use apparitions.
"Draco Malfoy."
"Sakura-Black."
"Oh, oh, hello boy," said the woman, with some confusion, and then said, "Is it the end of the world that nothing can be reasoned with reason?" "Okay, the elders' affairs have nothing to do with the children, welcome...... Wait a minute, Blake? Which Blake? ”
Sakura didn't quite understand, and hid behind Draco in a bit of a panic.
"Oh, it's okay, dear," what seemed to be a maternal glow, and Madame said to Sakura kindly, "Okay, it's okay, let's go, don't get in the way." ”
