"Why are you here? Your carriage is right in front. Harry asked.

Astoria said pitifully: "When I finally got on the train, a lot of people rushed up and squeezed me directly to the back of the train, so I had to look for them one by one...... The people at the back are so tall, so tall. ”

She stood up, stood on tiptoe, and stretched her hands upward, but still not as high as she was satisfied.

Harry crossed her waist and put her back in his seat.

The last ones are all in the sixth and seventh grades, and they are about the same height as adults.

For this little girl who can't be compared to her age, it's like a giant.

Astoria blushed and fell silent.

Astoria looked so young, eight or nine years old.

If she just looks small, forget it, but her performance is too simple. Harry bet that if anyone in the Muggle world came to her and said that her parents had sent him to pick her up, she would follow them without question.

Astoria was so well protected by her parents that she was mentally weaker than the other eleven-year-olds.

Harry looked at Astoria and kept looking at Hermione and Zhang Qiu, who were sitting opposite, and said with a smile: "The two of them are my friends, she is Zhang Qiu, and she is Hermione." ”

Despite their slander at Harry's wolf ambitions, Astoria's cute appearance won them over.

If Harry had known what they were thinking, he would have cried unjustly.

He really just loves this Astoria like a sister.

"Sister Hermione, Sister Zhang Qiu. Astoria shouted sweetly.

Zhang Qiu and Hermione are both the only sons in the family, and they have neither an older brother or sister to rely on, nor an older sister to be relied on by their younger siblings.

So, when they heard this sister-like character call them sisters, they suddenly understood why Harry, who had always been cold, would treat a child so gently.

"Brother, sister" really hits the softness of people's hearts.

......

Harry wondered how innocent Astoria really was.

He tried to ask questions.

"Astoria, do you know where we're going?"

"Yes, Mom said, it was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she let me have fun there. ”

Harry: "Damn it, my mother!"

"Then do you know what the four colleges are?"

"I don't know. ”

While most of the children in wizarding families know what the four Hogwarts houses are, some still don't know until they enter the school.

Harry thought for a moment and pulled a few coins out of his pocket, "Do you know what this is?"

"I know. Astoria clapped her hands and said, "This is something that makes my maid very happy." ”

"I gave them my favorite pudding cake, and none of them were so happy. ”

Harry was defeated, Astoria's parents must have been a pair of gods, otherwise how could they have taught such a daughter.

"Then you must have heard of Quidditch. Harry said.

From Astoria's ignorant eyes, Harry knew what he wanted.

For the little girl's parents, Harry only has 8 words: convincing, not convincing.

For the wizarding world, which is extremely devoid of entertainment culture, Quidditch is even more important than the NBA and the World Cup in the Muggle world.

Almost every wizard kid who has just learned to read and write knows about Quidditch.

Harry could imagine how protective Astoria's parents had been.

A beautiful castle was built for her, where there was only tranquility and peace, and there was no contact with the outside world, which created her pure heart.

Harry was impressed, but he was even more curious about why her parents had decided to throw her out of the mild environment and into the chaos of the outside world.

Harry didn't know how long this decision had tormented her parents.

Her mother had no intention of leaving her baby daughter to live independently at Hogwarts, but was ready to hire a house wizard to teach her.

Trust a centuries-old pure-blood family who have the power to hire the best wizards.

But her father, Patriarch Greengrass, finally realized that his daughter needed to really grow up and not live in a greenhouse all the time.

The couple even had a big fight, and finally the mother took a step back, crying that if her baby daughter came home in half a year, she said that she was not happy at school. Immediately withdrew from Hogwarts.

Astoria's father agreed, he cared for his daughter no less than his mother.

......

Through a few simple inquiries, Harry learned exactly what situation Astoria was in.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with her mind, it was normal.

But her common sense equals nothing.

The summary is that there are few books to read, few people to see, and few people to communicate with.

As long as she lived at Hogwarts for a while, she naturally became like everyone else.

But she couldn't take everything in the outside world at once, and the shock might hurt her.

It's like a text from Harry's book. The frog at the bottom of the well, suddenly a bird told it how big the world was.

Harry suspected that the end result might be that the frog's worldview could not stand such a big change and committed suicide by hitting the wall of the well.

If the bird slowly tells it that it is big outside, there is a river, and when it goes out, tell it that there is a bigger one, there is a forest, and then tell it that there is a continent and a sea.

The frog might be able to accept it.

So Harry decided to help Astoria learn slowly, that is, to play the role of protection.

Has Harry always been so kind? Of course not.

The main thing is that Astoria is a cute and beautiful little girl, and if she is an ugly bastard, it is a different matter.

So you still have to look at the face.

......

After a while, a woman pushing a cart knocked on the door, and the cart was filled with all kinds of snacks.

Astoria looked at the things with curiosity.

It didn't take Harry to know that she didn't know what a snack was.

Harry picked a whole bunch of ...... Normal snacks. Ever since he had eaten those unique flavors, he had never eaten them again. However, in Harry's opinion, the most nervous snacks are very popular.

Studies have shown that after people are full, they are easy to get sleepy. Astoria yawned and fell asleep after a while. She hugged Harry's arm, clinging to him, tilting her little head and falling asleep.

Harry couldn't think of her as an 11-year-old girl at all, at least most of the other first-year freshmen understood most of what they should know.

The boundaries between men and women, and the wariness of strangers. It's impossible for people to do things like leaning on someone else to sleep just after they met.

She was still like a child, and to her, Harry was more like he was taking care of a daughter than an older brother caring for his sister.

Hermione suddenly felt that it wasn't so good to be smart, because stupid people naturally do what smart people can't do.

Zhang Qiu didn't expect Harry to have such a side: maybe even Harry didn't notice, he looked at the little girl sleeping next to him, and unconsciously hummed softly, this is not a song, it just makes people feel at ease.

This appearance reminded Zhang Qiu of his father.

......

It's getting dark, and the long journey is almost over.

Astoria woke up, she rubbed her eyes with her little hands and shouted, "Mommy......"

When she saw the carriage clearly, she realized that she was separated from her parents.

At this time, it was the first time I was separated from my parents, and I was most panicked in my heart.

Just when she was full of anxiety and was about to cry in the next second, a warm palm covered the top of her head and touched her hair: "What's the matter, do you miss your mother?"

Astoria looked up at Harry, finding a little security, her eyes red, "Hmm. ”

"Your mother is thinking about you, too, and if she knew you were crying, she would be sad. Harry said softly.

Harry's words seemed to have magic, Astoria thought about her mother's unhappy appearance, and the tears did not fall, and said, "I can't make my mother sad. ”

"But what if I miss my mother?"

Still back to this question.

Harry was prepared, and he said, "Did your mother buy you an owl?"

"Hmm. She pointed to a small cage in which a small white owl sat quietly.

"If you want your mom, you can write to her, and soon, your mom will receive the letter and write back to you. ”

Harry gently touched Astoria's head as if he were touching his kitten, and said, "Think about it, how funny it is that you didn't meet your mom and dad but you were able to talk to them." ”

I don't know if it was Harry's palms that calmed people's hearts, or if Harry's words caught her attention.

She was no longer sad, her face showed two dimples, she fantasized about the scene Harry had said, and said happily, "Then I will write to my mother now." ”

"Absolutely. ”

As long as you don't cry, it's easy to say anything.

Harry took out a pen and paper and handed it to her.

She slumped the paper on the table, her little hand holding the quill, thinking about what to write.

She only wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, after all, just a child.

"I'm done. She folded the letter.

Harry helped her put it in the owl's pouch, "Then, you tell him where to send the letter." ”

Astoria picked up the owl and giggled, "Xiaowei, send the letter back to my house." ”

Then a throw.

The owl flew out of the train window in the night and into the distance.
