Time always flies, but it's also slow, especially when people are expecting a date that they want to come soon.

Therefore, waiting is the most grinding.

Ios is okay, for him Hogwarts is just a place to supplement his knowledge of magic, and the strength of his body is not known to be much stronger than Dumbledore, even if this doppelganger is stronger than the magic of most adult wizards.

If it weren't for his lack of knowledge about the mysteries, the world would not have appealed to him.

Ios was very calm, yes, but old John looked excited to him, the presence of the wizard broke the three views he had cultivated for decades, but this did not make him accept it in any way.

On the contrary, he is extremely enthusiastic about it. He's been fiddling with the things he's bought from Diagon Alley these days, and he's even sitting on the couch with a first-year textbook and looking at it with relish.

And often look at it for an afternoon, although I can't understand it at all.

Even Ios couldn't understand where his overflowing enthusiasm came from, and when he asked Ios to show him some of his mysterious magic, Ios sighed and floated all the contents of the room.

"Oh~ that's amazing!" Old John marveled and left satisfied.

Sighing again, Ios put everything back in place, he didn't know how many times he had done it. At this time, he suddenly hoped that the first of September would come soon, and he would be rescued from this predicament.

Fortunately, time does not speed up because of human will, but it also does not slow down the pace of progress because of human beings, it just passes at its own pace.

September 1st, it's here!

"Ios, we're not around, remember to take care of yourself at school." Mrs. Sowal whispered beside Ios, and words came out of her mouth so much that Ios didn't even notice that she had such a side.

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to pretend to look at the time: "It's almost time, I'm going to leave first, goodbye." ”

Despite his inner desire to get out of here, Ios remained unhurried and calm, as if he had left because the time was almost up.

He dragged the box leisurely between the ninth and tenth platforms, and he could not help but feel much lighter without Mrs. Sover's nagging, and he could understand that Mrs. Sover was completely concerned, but ...... Everybody gets the idea.

Head-on through a pillar, Ios came to the platform of nine and three-quarters.

The surrounding scene was very different at this time, and contrary to the slightly sparse flow of people outside, it was almost everywhere with people. Ios turned to look at where he had entered, and there was an iron gate marked "Platform Nine and Three-Quarters".

A bright red steam train sits silently on the tracks, with a sign at the front that reads, "Hogwarts Express, departs at eleven." ”

The noisy platform was filled with farewells among relatives, gossip among classmates, and the cries of owls, and Ios, who had no acquaintances, had no intention of staying here any longer, and went straight to the train.

Although he had arrived early, there were still several cars that were already full, and when he finally found one that was empty, he moved his fingers, and the box automatically floated into the air and stuffed into the luggage rack, and then he leaned directly against the side of the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Halfway through, the two talked and laughed into the carriage, and when they saw that there were already people inside, they were about to say hello, and found that Ios seemed to be asleep and gave up, and after putting their luggage away, they continued to chat, but the sound was not loud.

Not long after, a whistle sounded, and the people who were still outside the train immediately became anxious, boarded the train by various means, squeezed in through the door, but more climbed directly through the window to get onto the train.

The car let out a "roar", and the sleeping steel beast woke up, began to move its huge body, and slowly started.

The relatives on the platform waved goodbye to the children by the window, and followed the train slowly until the train continued to accelerate and disappeared before their eyes.

Feeling that the train had started, Ios no longer closed his eyes, ready to take a look at the scenery along the way. It's been so long since he's been in this world, and since he's still a kid, he hasn't been to many places, so it's not bad to take this opportunity to take a look.

The two who had been chatting quietly also noticed that he had woken up at this time, and one of the boys with slightly curly brown hair and freckles on his face took the initiative to accost: "Hi, hello." I'm Martin Reese, he's Tim Matheson, and we're both second graders. ”

Seeing that they had introduced themselves, Ios could not remain silent: "I'm Ios Sovor. ”

When Ios finished speaking, another chubby, public-faced boy named Tim suddenly said, "I bet you must be a freshman, right?" ”

Ios was slightly surprised: "That's right, how do you know?" ”

Tim smugly said his reasoning, "I'm sure I'll never forget your face once I've seen it, but I don't remember you at all." ”

It turns out that this is the case, Ios's face and body are exactly the same, not to mention that no one can match, but it is definitely the most outstanding kind, although he is still young now, his face is still childish, and he has not grown.

But even so, if he had been in contact with other people, he would definitely have left a deep impression on them, and he would not look like they were meeting for the first time.

Tim seemed to be a familiar character, and seeing that Ios didn't speak, he asked, "You know the Sorting House, right?" Is there an academy you'd like to visit? By my word Hufflepuff is good, we're all from that house. ”

"It's hard for me to say this, after all, it depends on the choice of the Sorting Hat. But in my opinion, I'd rather go to Ravenclaw. Ios said slowly.

In fact, he knew that the Sorting Hat would be more personal in his choice, which meant that if he insisted on going to Ravenclaw, the Sorting Hat would have to respect his choice even if he thought he was a better fit for the other houses.

For Ios, the most important thing for him to enter Hogwarts is to learn about magic, so the atmosphere of Ravenclaw is naturally the most suitable for him.

They chatted like this, and Ios bought some snacks from the food truck and got an Albus Dumbledore card when he opened a packet of chocolate frog candy.

Gradually, night fell, the stars twinkled under the dark night sky, the surrounding mountains and dense woods were faintly visible, and the train was gradually slowing down.

Looks like Hogwarts is coming.
