Chapter 43: The Closed Platform
But when they slowly arrived at King's Cross Station, time was still abundant, and there was half an hour to get there. So when Mr. Weasley summoned the car to run Lee, the crowd mixed in with the ordinary people who came and went, and came to the middle of platforms nine and ten.
To be honest, platform 9 and 3/4 is the most classic scene in the HP world, although he understands the magic very well, but it has a special meaning for a fan like him who has read novels, so now that he can experience it in person, Ning Yuan is still very interested.
Because of the need to prevent ordinary people from appearing, everyone pretended to be careless, and then approached the wall between platforms 9 and 1o in turn, and then quickly passed through the wall without anyone noticing.
"Percy the first." Mrs. Weasley commands!
Percy walked briskly over and vanished. Mr. Weasley followed, followed by Fred and George.
"I'll take Ginny with me, and you two will follow." After Mrs. Weasley finished speaking to Ning Yuan and the others, she grabbed Ginny's hand and walked forward, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
"Charlie, your first time here, you go first, I'll come back with Harry." Ron continued, "Don't worry, it won't hit the wall, it won't hurt at all!" "It's kind of funny that I'm from here.
Ning Yuan pretended to be indifferent and nodded, walked up, and then pretended to be worried and stepped forward to touch the wall first, but was surprised that the wall had been sealed. With an eyebrow raised, Dobby still made a move! Thinking about the current situation in his heart, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Ron, the wall is solid, are you sure you can really go in, or is the entrance closed?" β
Harry and Ron also stepped forward to touch the phantom of the wall that should be an illusory place for wizards, and they both looked at each other after feeling the touch of the masonry, in fact, they were only young wizards in the second year, and now they didn't know what to do when they encountered this sudden situation, so they were a little overwhelmed. In particular, Harry, who is very insecure, may now be thinking in his mind what to do if he can't catch the car, whether he will have to be driven home because of this, so in the original novel, when Ron proposed to drive to school, Harry agreed without thinking about it, and as a result, Ron's wand was broken, not to mention, they were almost killed by Beater Willow.
"Harry, Ron, it's still early to leave the car, we should be more than just being blocked out, we can wait, there should be someone coming, besides, Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley will come out if they can't find us for a while, and even if we can't catch the train, we can let them take us directly to Hogwarts." Ning Yuan thought for a moment and comforted.
Perhaps because there was still enough time, Harry and Ron did not panic as in the novel, and hurriedly chose to drive the speedcar. So both of them listened to Ning Yuan's opinion, walked away from this conspicuous place, and stood in the corner of the station closest to the entrance of the platform, looking at it as if they were pretending to rest and talking, secretly watching if there were other wizards who wanted to enter the platform, and the result was ......
"Shhhh Ron swallowed and watched as a tall and beautiful girl pushed a luggage cart against the wall, then drove it into the car, and then fell to the side with a thud and was buried underneath the clothes and cart that fell out after being hit by the suitcase. Ron's tone was a little gleeful, and definitely a little gloating, because Ning Yuan saw the corners of his mouth twitching without moving.
Hearing his words, Harry's eyes widened and he nodded, looking like it was indeed painful.
The chaotic situation immediately aroused the onlookers in the station, and Ning Yuan saw a guard walk quickly in front of the girl, "Miss, what happened, do you need any help?" "Maybe it's the other party's pretty face, so the guard looks very gentlemanly. The girl whispered something to the guard in some embarrassment, and in a panic she stuffed the clothes on the ground into one of the boxes that had been knocked open.
"Harry, Ron, Charlie!" Soon a crisp voice caught their attention, and the three of them turned their heads to look, just in time to see the three members of the Gran family pushing their luggage. In front of the Blotted Bookstore in Diagon Alley that day, Ning Yuan had a relationship with them, and in the past few days at the Weasley's house, the other party also knew from the letters written by Harry and Ron that "Charlie" was going to study at Hogwarts, so it was not surprising that Ning Yuan was here.
"Hello, Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger!" Looking at the iron triangle that was about to enter the mode of secret chat between the dead friends, Charlie and the Granger couple greeted each other, then explained their current predicament, and offered to write to the school if the Weasleys did not come out for a while, and let the professor solve the matter. Speaking of this, Ning Yuan sighed a little that the IQ of the house-elves was a little insufficient, not to mention whether this could prevent Harry from going to Hogwarts to go to school, even if you wanted to stop Harry alone, such an indiscriminate closed entrance now would undoubtedly cause a big riot, and it would help Harry when the time came.
Although he has a wizarding daughter, Granger, who is just an ordinary person himself, has no better way, so he also tends to wait for Ron's wizarding parents, Hogwarts professors, or other wizards to solve it, so they all agree with Ning Yuan's suggestion.
And just as they were talking, two more little wizards came into close contact with the closed entrance, and the girl who made a fool of herself just now didn't know where she went, and the successive incidents of hitting the wall seemed to have attracted the attention of more people in the station, Ning Yuan saw that many people who were suspected of being wizards were watching carefully in the corner, and it seemed that they had also seen that what had just happened had been vigilant by everyone.
"You say, if Mom and Dad don't come out for a while, should we drive to school!" Seeing that the situation seemed to be unresolved for a while, Ron's eyes suddenly mentioned.
"What car?" Hermione didn't understand what Ron's words meant.
Seeing that Harry seemed to be a little moved, the corners of Ning Yuan's mouth twitched a few times, no matter how you look at this bear child, he has the potential to be a little expert in death, and he has to have something to do every year to be willing, it seems that if Hermione was not in the Iron Triangle, it is estimated that Harry would have been taken to the ditch by Ron, who thought that he was also a little expert in death. Sure enough, to Ning Yuan's surprise, Hermione, after learning about Ron's father's flying car, righteously criticized Ron's unreliable Tiyì, and listed n legal provisions and school rules, pointing out that it would put them in jail or expelled from school, so that Harry and Ron knew how much trouble they would cause by doing so.
Although Ron was a little unwilling, it was only a temporary idea for him, so after Hermione broke his thoughts, he put it behind his head except for a few muttered words, and then began to observe the situation at the entrance with a few other people.
It seems that Dobby's means are two-way, and after such a while, nothing comes out, and it seems that people in the station who are wearing large-scale fancy clothes and carrying owls and other animals gather to talk to each other, and the atmosphere is also a little weird, and more ordinary people are noticing that something is wrong, Ning Yuan saw that many guards had appeared in the station and looked at those suspicious wizards vigilantly.
It seems that there are quite a lot of students and parents who have been blocked by Dobby, and I am afraid that the Ministry of Magic will be alarmed at this moment, Ning Yuan thought to himself.
As expected, four or five people wearing red robes soon appeared in King's Cross Station, and one of them happened to see this, so he walked straight over, "Hello sir, madam, and children, I'm George Adam of the Magical Accidents and Disasters Division, Reverse Incident Team, is there anything here?" β
When the Granger couple explained that they had encountered the entrance to the platform when they were taking their daughter to school and the platform was now closed, George told the group to calm down, then gathered a few members of the team, exchanged information, and then gathered in front of the closed platform entrance. Of course, before that, they also dealt with the ordinary people and station guards around them.
Although Dobby's magical abilities are more powerful than some wizards, in the face of more and more strange events, the experienced reversal of the even event team is still not enough, and soon the closed magic is unraveled.
At this time, there are still more than ten minutes before the car, just in time.
Sure enough, the closure was two-way, and there was a bit of chaos after the current platform on the other side of platform 9 and 3/4 was closed in advance, and when they passed through the entrance in turn under the organization of the Ministry of Magic staff, it was good to see the Weasleys who looked very anxious.
"Merlin, what the hell happened, we didn't see you coming, and we wanted to go back but now the entrance is closed. I'm glad you're okay......" Mrs. Weasley hugged Ning Yuan and the four of them in turn, and as for the Grangers, because they couldn't cross the entrance, they saw that the problem was solved, so they left.
Then Ron, with the cooperation of several other people, told him what had just happened, and then unnoticed that he had planned to take the flying car to school.
"Luo ...... Accept...... De ...... "Ning Yuan and Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and left Ron with no sympathy to Mrs. Weasley, who was thundering because of the other party's "big rebellion".
Soon, under the leadership of the two people, they found a carriage that happened to be empty, and then after putting away the luggage, except for Ning Yuan, Harry and Hermione said that they were going out to look at their classmates, and then ran away in a blink of an eye.
Sitting in the empty carriage, Ning Yuan took out an apple from the space and nibbled on it, when suddenly a slight popping sound beside him remembered that Sasha, a house-elf who had been hiding in the shadows since he lived in the Weasley's house, appeared in front of him.
"Master, what you ordered, Sasha finished ......"
