Chapter 143: Snake Language

The wizarding world actually has a much faster way to get around.

For example, advanced magic such as apparition, for example, the use of certain means of transportation that had been forbidden in the early years, and for example...... Floo powder.

Floo Powder is a strange magical powder in the form of a powder, glittering form that is said to have been invented in the 13th century by a witch named Ignatia Wilsmith. Safe, reliable, convenient and fast, and the price is stable, only two silver sike are required for one scoop, and it has remained the same for 100 years. Every wizard family has a certain amount of Floo powder, usually in a box or vase on the fireplace.

These magic powders allow wizards to travel through the fireplace for a short period of time, or the user can enter any part of their body into the flames of Floo Powder, such as a skull, so that they can talk to people without having to reach their destination with their whole body.

However, the above functions can only be used if the fireplace is connected to the Floo network.

In this case, the question arises, why do you have to drive the Hogwarts Express train when there are so many ways to move or props? There are many reasons for this, first of all, Hogwarts is located in Scotland and is a castle set next to a mountain lake. Apparition and apparition cannot be used in Hogwarts, nor can ordinary electronic devices be used in it.

Secondly, using Floo is a viable option, but it's the same on the first day of school, and so many students have a lot of fun if they all use Floo on the same day and want to get in from the fireplace in their own home and out of the fireplace at Hogwarts......

It was an almost predictable super disaster, hundreds of people crashing and rear-end collisions, everyone stuck in a fireplace or something, how fresh and unrefined was that sight? It's simply horrific and outrageous.

For this reason, the British Ministry of Magic finally passed a decree that all students must travel to school by express train one year after another, and this move was silently admitted by even the so-called pure-blood families, who did not care about 'this is Muggle transportation', 'the dignity of pure-blood nobles', and so on.

You can imagine what happened in the past......

Pei Chen looked at the little fat man sitting opposite Hermione with interest, the little guy seemed to be very restrained, and basically didn't take the initiative to make a sound since he came in and sat down, just fidgeting on the opposite seat, keeping his head down and not speaking, as if he suddenly had a strong interest in his shoes.

Hermione tried to talk to the little fat man who had helped her kindly, but in the end, she could only successfully learn that his name was Neville, and that he was the same age as herself, and he was also a first-year freshman, so she couldn't get any valuable information other than that.

The little girl had to lower her head too, no longer trying to talk, but continued to read her textbook - Pei Chen was a little puzzled, the book "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Grasses" had been turned by her to the edges and a little curled, in just over this month, Pei Chen saw that she had read it no less than ten times, is it really that good-looking?

Time flies, the bored Pei Chen is drowsy, and Hermione also changes the book in her hand and turns it into "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense". No one else came into this carriage, and the little fat man was still very restrained, and he always maintained a strong interest in his shoes. Until......

"Ahh

Pei Chen was so frightened by this scream that she almost didn't fall off Hermione's wrist, and the little girl almost didn't hold the book steady. One person and one snake looked up, but found that the little fat man finally had some other reactions, although it was not very good.

The round-faced boy looked very anxious with tears on his face, and groped his whole body several times, and then opened his box and turned it upside down. Hermione was a little puzzled and went up to ask what was going on, if she needed help, etc., but the reply she got was that the little fat man said that the toad that his grandmother had given him had been lost, and now he couldn't find it......

Toad...... Nima is so scary!

Suddenly, Hermione's little girl's eyes changed slightly, and she couldn't help but take half a step back, this little fat man didn't look good-looking, but he actually had the courage to raise a toad like that...... What a human being who is unseemly!

She looked down at the very humane, very well-behaved and obedient little snake wrapped around her wrist, and suddenly felt that her pet was really good, if compared to a toad...... Of course, Pei Chen himself will never admit the so-called pet identity, now it is just an expedient measure, when he enters that school, he will run away at the first opportunity, and then concentrate on exploring this scene.

Hermione is a good boy, and offered to help Neville's little fat man find his toad, but Pei Chen just pouted disapprovingly, if it was himself, he would definitely take this opportunity to throw away that disgusting thing, this little fat man is too dead-eyed.

The two children used the stupidest way to find each other one by one, and when they saw someone, they asked, 'Have you seen my toad' or 'Have you seen his toad', but in terms of frequency, the latter is usually the majority, and Neville's little fat man is too shy and timid, and many times he doesn't dare to speak out after a few snorts.

I don't know what kind of family would raise such a timid child? Pei Chen thought to himself, if he was the elder of the little fat man's family, he felt that he must not help but have a desire to smoke him...... Thankfully, he wasn't.

Obviously a child of a wizarding family, but it is not as good as a child raised by a pure ordinary family like Hermione, this education is really too much of a failure.

The train had already left London, and outside the window there were vast fields full of cattle and sheep, and fields and pastures could be seen speeding by.

Soon, Hermione and Neville were in an empty compartment near the back of the car, and beyond that there was only the carriage that could be counted on one hand, and if Neville's toad hadn't mysteriously disappeared, I mean, it was still on the train, then only those places were still possible.

Neville looked a little frustrated and even a little desperate, and Hermione had no choice but to knock on the door of the cubicle after a few words of comfort. Pei Chen began to lift his spirits, he vaguely felt a somewhat familiar mental fluctuation, as if he had met the target he had initially targeted?

As Hermione walked into the cubicle, Pei Chen found little Harry, and now the little boy was looking at another boy with red hair and freckles raising his wand as if he was about to cast some kind of spell.

"Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost a toad. Hermione was a little nervous and quickly said what she meant, but the little snake wrapped around her wrist was helpless, he knew that the little girl was nervous, but the other party didn't know, such a tone could easily be mistaken for arrogance and no one in her eyes.

"We have told him, we have not seen it." The red-haired freckled boy looked at the little fat man hiding behind Hermione with some dissatisfaction, and his tone was full of displeasure at being disturbed.

However, Hermione had no idea what he was saying, and kept her eyes fixed on the wand raised in his hand, obviously attracted to curiosity: "Oh, are you doing magic?" Let's open our eyes, shall we? ”

Both sat down in this compartment.

The red-haired boy blushed a little and became overwhelmed, but fortunately he quickly adjusted: "Oh-okay. "Although he said that, judging from his face, he should have thought more about 'bad'.

Looking at this fighter who was obviously a rookie, the novice VIP boy began to wave his wand and chant incantations with a clumsy gesture, Pei Chen's eyes widened, he shrank his body decisively, and mobilized his own demonic power.

The wand was so broken that it looked like it was old, peeling off in some places, and glowing white on one end. Pei Chen's eyes were sharp, and he hadn't done anything for more than a month, and he instantly determined that it was the mane of a unicorn.

Nima's even the most important core material of a wand has been directly exposed, not to mention how much this wand can help the user, but the pit characteristic of "reducing the success rate of casting by more than 20%" should not be able to escape.

It is possible to explode on the spot.

"Daisies, sweet cream, and sunshine, turn this stupid fat mouse yellow."

The boy waved his wand and ...... Then nothing happened, and the fat, stupid mouse was still gray, sleeping on his lap, and the color of his coat did not change at all.

"Hiss hiss (hahahahaha) ......" Pei Chen couldn't help it now, what kind of trick is this trick daddy's spell going to make?! He tried his best to tighten his body around the girl's smooth wrists so that he wouldn't fall off laughing.

"Are you sure it's a spell?" Hermione couldn't help but want to show herself, "Doesn't look good, does it?" I've practiced a few simple mantras at home, but none of them worked. None of my family knew magic, so I was shocked when I received my letter of acceptance...... Oh, Lyle, you're strangulating me...... I mean, it's one of the best magic schools in the world - I've memorized all the textbooks......"

The girl couldn't help but stretch out her other hand and tug at Pei Chen's tail, and said in one breath: "Of course, I just hope this can be used - my name is Hermione Granger, by the way, what are your names?" ”

"My name is ...... Ron Weasley. The red-haired freckled boy said, his eyes very strange, with a hint of a class enemy, and he looked back and forth between Hermione and the snake in disbelief, and the little girl frowned.

Hermione hated the look at her as an alien.

"What about you?" She turned her gaze to little Harry, the handsome boy with glasses who didn't look like Ron, only focused on his wrist in more surprise, much to Hermione's annoyance.

"W-What?!" Little Harry was a little confused.

"I mean, your name - my name is Hermione, Hermione Granger!" The girl said, her cold look seemed to indicate that she was in a bad mood right now, "Also, do you have any opinion about my Lyle?" Why are they all such rude eyes? ”

"Oh, I—my name is Harry Potter......" Harry replied in a panic, as if he was overpowered by Hermione's aura, "No, no, I don't have a problem with you...... Nor is there any prejudice against your pet...... It's just, it's just, I just heard your snake laughing......"

Hermione: "......"

Ron: "......"

Neville: "......"

Pei Chen's eyes froze, and he instantly restrained his relaxation and became cautious again. This guy can actually understand pure snake language?!
