Chapter 18: Granger

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the train to Hogwarts departed on time, and the locomotive spewed steam, and the sound of whistles and smoke enveloped the platform.

Click! Click!

The train slowly drove out of the station, and parents waved their hands desperately to say goodbye to their children.

A stocky middle-aged witch with her hands on the shoulders of a little red-haired girl, looking at the speeding train with a reluctant expression, her family has a total of seven children, the youngest son is also going to Hogwarts this year, and only a little daughter is left by her side.

At the window at the end of the train sat a young man, with white hair hanging down on his temples, looking calmly at the platform, and a black cat squatting on the table.

"Mom, who is that person?" The train had faded away, and the middle-aged witch's little daughter looked up at her mother.

"Maybe it's the new professor at Hogwarts!" The middle-aged witch frowned slightly, she hadn't heard of anyone at Hogwarts as a new professor, but she didn't know that Madara's matter had been suppressed by Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was afraid that Fudge would anger Madara, so he didn't tell Fudge that Madara was the one from Frozen London, but Madara was the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, and he couldn't hide this kind of thing after all, he just said that Madara was a descendant of his old friend and came to Hogwarts for a while.

Dumbledore just told Fudge that when he went to Hogsmeade, the enemy had already run away, and Fudge would be suspicious, he knew that Dumbledore was cunning, and if he didn't catch any tricks, he couldn't get any useful information from his mouth, so he had no choice but to secretly investigate Madara's origin. and the mastermind of Frozen London, Fudge still thinks that Frozen London was done by a group of wizards, and knows that Frozen London has removed Dumbledore. Only the four deans who had breakfast with Madara that day, Dumbledore had already told them to keep it a secret, once this matter leaked out, the Ministry of Magic would inevitably find trouble with Madara, although Dumbledore didn't know Madara, but he knew that this man was by no means a good person, and when the time came, the two sides would clash. Dumbledore was sure that a new Dark Lord was born.

Above the wilderness, there are white clouds floating in the sky. There was an endless track on the ground, and an old steam locomotive was running ahead, and the mountains on either side were rapidly receding.

Madara sits in the box in the last carriage, and the entire box is just him and the cat fairy. There were a few little wizards just now. I wanted to come to this box, but I saw him sitting inside, and before he could speak, he had already fled.

The box next door to Madara was Harry. Potter, but Harry didn't know that Professor Madara, whom he was in awe, hadn't just returned to Hogwarts, but had taken the rag bag that had made him curious at Gringotts, and was separated from him by a wall.

Now Harry has befriended his first friend, Ron. Weasley. The two had a great chat.

"Madara, what is the purpose of this magic stone?" Cat fairy squatted on the table. The little nose was attached to a blood-red stone, and he looked at it carefully.

The crystal clear Philosopher's Stone seemed to have a puddle of clear water inside, exuding an intoxicating light.

"Immortality! Turning stones into gold! Madara laughed.

"Really?" Cat Xiaoxian exclaimed.

"Half-truths and half-truths can delay death, but they do not mean true immortality!" Madara glanced at the Philosopher's Stone, this thing was similar to the Outer Path Golem.

In the original book, he once used the Outer Dao Golem to continue his life, and the effect of this stone is stronger than that of the Outer Dao Golem, containing a lot of life force.

The Philosopher's Stone is a very profound form of alchemy. It took Le Mei a lifetime to develop it, and there were many people who helped him, the most famous of which was Dumbledore, of course, but he could reproduce countless Philosopher's Stones as long as Madara needed them.

"That's pretty good, too! But if you rob the Philosopher's Stone, will the old man with the white beard trouble us? Although Mao Xiaoxian said very seriously, there was no trace of worry in her eyes.

"Humph! I'm afraid he'd guessed that our headmaster wasn't a simple thing, and sometimes I couldn't figure out what he was trying to do, and he told Hagrid that I would apparate, and Hagrid came to me with the Philosopher's Stone, and he might want to test me, but I think he must have known that I was going to take the Philosopher's Stone! Madara narrowed his eyes slightly, this philosopher's stone was real, which was beyond his expectations, and Dumbledore was not afraid of losing his money.

"I can't see that a good old man still has so many things hidden, but he knows that you will take the Philosopher's Stone, why did he let Hagrid take the Philosopher's Stone to you?" For the first time, Catfairy felt that Dumbledore was not as kind as he appeared.

"Well! As far as I guess, he wants me to fight Voldemort! Madara was a little interested, if he didn't know that Dumbledore used the Philosopher's Stone to turn Voldemort around, he really couldn't guess what Dumbledore wanted to do, Dumbledore didn't know what he promised Voldemort, when the time came, he and Voldemort would compete for the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore could sit on the fisherman's profits, it can be said that Dumbledore completely understood people's hearts, the stronger the person, the more eager for a long life.

"This old man is very bad!" Catfairy thought for a moment, and despised Dumbledore a little.

"He's afraid that I'll become the new Dark Lord, but he's also smart enough to make trouble for me openly, and even cover up my frozen London!" Madara smiled disapprerovingly, he had come to Hogwarts to learn some magic quickly, and Dumbledore and Voldemort were just after-dinner entertainment.

The cat fairy was about to speak, when the closed box door was pushed open, and a little girl stood in the doorway, dressed in a brand new black wizard's robe, with long brown hair that was a little messy, and two front teeth like rabbits, adding a bit of playfulness.

Hao Min, a genius girl in the wizarding world. Granger appears!

"Hello sir, are you a professor at Hogwarts?" Hao Min held the door frame with his small hand, looking at Madara a little nervously, and his beautiful big brown eyes showed surprise.

She just heard that there was a young man sitting behind the train, Hao Min was extremely smart, and very curious, she thought about it, and understood that in addition to the students, only the teacher could get on the Hogwarts train, and the other students had always been evasive when they saw the teacher, but Hao Min was different, she had long wanted to see what the professors at Hogwarts were like.

Now Hao Min has got her wish, but Madara is not the same professor she thought, because Madara is very young and very handsome, more like a star than a professor.

"Any questions?" Madara smiled.

"If I may, can I ask you a few questions?" Hao Min regained her composure, looked at Madara generously, and at the same time looked at the cat fairy and the magic stone on the table with some curiosity, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she could see the humanized feelings in the eyes of the black cat.
