Hogwarts Express.

In the shaky aisle of the carriage, Harry sat on his large heavy suitcase, watching the houses flash past the window, and the excitement in his heart began to cool down, and he thought with some distress about how to apologize later.

Thanks to his cousin Dudley Dursley, Harry didn't have any friends at his previous school. Having managed to get rid of Dudley and move to a new environment, he was desperate to make some friends - but now it seems that the first steps were not too smooth.

Just as little Harry was distressed, the sliding door of the closed cubicle slammed open.

"I'm sorry, I don't know ......"

Sensing the movement behind him, Harry immediately stood up from his suitcase and explained helplessly.

Maybe it had something to do with Harry's years of living in the storage room of the Black Hole, and he seemed thinner than his peers. Elena stood close and realized that the "Star of Salvation" was now half a head shorter than her.

"Poof, why are you so nervous? I won't eat you. ”

glanced at Harry Potter, who was flustered and trying to repair the relationship with her classmates, Elena, who deliberately kept a straight face, couldn't hold her face after all, and burst out laughing.

In fact, aside from her learning attitude and ability, Elena has always admired Harry Potter in the original books.

As a child who has been bullied and ostracized at school for a long time, and has been treated differently at home, Harry Potter has not become a gloomy eccentric like a certain unnamed Mr. Snape and Mr. Riddle, who is also unwilling to be named, but has been trying to show kindness to the people around him.

Although Elena does not fully agree with this style of life, it does not prevent her from maintaining respect for people who uphold such naïve beliefs, even if they are now just a little bit less tall than her.

Elena poked her head out to look at the boy's suitcase in the aisle, walked past Harry Potter to his large, heavy suitcase, rolled up her sleeves, and smiled.

"Okay, don't stay stuck in the doorway. Hurry up and get a hand, let's move this pile in together. ”

"Oh, oh...... Good. ”

Harry was stunned by the sudden smile on the girl's delicate face, then came back to his senses, nodded vigorously, and together pushed the suitcase across the aisle into the corner of the compartment.

"Thank you. I'm Harry, Harry Potter. ”

Harry let out a long breath as he brushed his sweaty hair away from his eyes.

"My name is Elena, Elena Kaslana. ”

Returning to her seat, Elena blinked her eyes and looked the boy in front of her up and down with interest, after watching books and movies for so long, it was the first time she had seen Harry Potter alive.

Facing the girl's gaze, Harry Potter touched his nose a little uncomfortably.

For some reason, he always felt that the silver-haired girl on the other side looked at him with a special gaze, different from the reaction of any stranger, but closer to - Hagrid's kind eyes when he saw him?!

So much so that he had the illusion that he was facing an older sister or aunt who had been paying attention to his growth, rather than a young wizard of the same age. Although, in reality, he doesn't really have the experience of facing his sister or aunt.

"Excuse me, that, do you know me?"

Harry hesitated, as if he didn't think that was right, and stammered a little and waved his hand in add.

"I mean, since I've been in the wizarding world, it seems like everyone knows my name. But actually, I didn't know anything about the wizard or my parents, or Voldemort, until Hagrid told me. Well, by the way, Hagrid was the one who picked me up at school, and he was the ...... of Hogwarts."

Facing the girl's blue eyes, little Harry became more and more nervous. The already somewhat stuttering expression became even more confusing, and the immature face was a little red, and his hands were waving, eager to cast a magic spell to directly conjure everything out.

"Hogwarts hunting ground guards, key keepers, I know. ”

Elena shook her head, leaned forward slightly, like a little adult, reached out and patted Harry's head, chuckled and reassured, "Okay, don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"Well, you know Hagrid, too, did he take you too?"

Harry's eyes lit up, and after finally finding the same knowledge point, the expression on his face was obviously much lighter, and he asked curiously.

"No, actually, strictly speaking, I've only met him once. It's just that I like to read, so I know a lot about you. ”

Elena shrugged her shoulders and added secretly in her heart that "Harry Potter Series 1-7" is certainly a kind of book.

"Wait, I'm mentioned in the book, too?"

Harry's eyes widened in surprise and he pointed to his nose.

"Of course, but I didn't buy the books. If you are interested, you can go to the bookstore and look for it yourself. ”

The silver-haired little Lori waved her hand with a lack of interest, she was not like some beaver lady with a heavy reading habit who would deliberately collect these books.

Besides, even if she wanted to, she couldn't buy it. Since her trip to Gringotts, Dumbledore had been extremely guarded against her, and she couldn't get her hands on a single book on magic other than the History of Magic...... Hmm, wait......

Elena's gaze wandered between Harry Potter and his large suitcase, touched her chin thoughtfully, and asked slowly, "Speaking of which...... Harry, you must have all the textbooks with you. ”

"Huh?" Harry nodded inexplicably.

"If you can, can you lend me a copy of Standard Spells, Beginner for the time being?"

Elena spread her hands helplessly and explained with a sincere face, "For some reason, my teaching materials are temporarily incomplete. There was still more than half a day before we arrived at Hogwarts, and I wanted to get a little ahead of time. ”

"Oh my gosh! yes, I didn't even realize I should have prepared for it. By the end of the day, I dare say, I'm going to be the worst student in my class. ”

Hearing Elena's words, Harry Potter slapped his head, quickly stood up, opened his large suitcase, took out all the teaching materials in one go, put them on the seats in the compartment, and said in a chagrinous tone.

"Actually, don't be too nervous, I dare say that the vast majority of first-year students probably haven't opened the textbook yet. ”

From the stack of books, Elena pulled out the copy of Standard Spells, Elementary, which she had been coveting for a long time, and smiled and comforted Harry. According to her observations, even children from wizarding families such as Malfoy and Ron did not seem to have opened a small stove in advance.

"However, there must be some people who have already studied a lot of the content. ”

Elena's comfort apparently didn't make much of a difference.

Harry, who was already worried about this, almost cried out when he realized that he had wasted a whole month playing with his little face.

Unlike the silver-haired little Lori with a clear purpose, Harry Potter stood blankly in front of a thick stack of textbooks, sometimes looking at this, sometimes looking at that, and not knowing what he should do for a while.

"If you don't know what to prepare, I'd suggest you read the Potions textbook first. ”

Elena glanced at Harry Potter and said nonchalantly as she flipped through Standard Spells, Elementary, "I seem to have read in some book that your mother, Lily Evans Potter, was exceptionally gifted in Potions. ”

"Really?!Did you mention my mother's book? Do you remember the title?"

Harry Potter raised his head when he heard this, and asked eagerly, he had heard Aunt Penny mention his mother's name, and he had taken it to heart, and he was naturally very excited to hear Elena's words.

Phew, I accidentally got high again, and I must restrain myself in the future.

As soon as the silver-haired little Lori said it, she knew that something was wrong, and she couldn't wait to slap her mouth hard, looked at Harry Potter with a hopeful light in her eyes, and shook her head apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I just remember being half-blood. ”

Looking at Harry, whose eyes were rapidly dimming, Elena felt a little unbearable, thought for a moment and said, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "However, I think the Potions professor in the school should know which book mentions your mother." Of course, you only need to be at the top of your Potions class. ”

After a pause, the silver-haired little Lori rolled her eyes and added extra seriously.

"At the very least, I think you need to know at least some basic concepts. I'll give you just a few examples, such as – what do you get if you add daffodil root powder to wormwood infusion......"
