Chapter Ninety-Five: Nine and Three-Quarters Station
On the last day of August, the Butterfields family visited MacMillan Manor again, and the two families had dinner together.
"Dear Hall, thank you for all you have done for us. Xiu raised the glass in his hand and saluted Hall.
"Hey, brother, you're so kind, we're family. Hall also held up the red wine and returned the salute.
"Little Bray, have you decided which house to go to?" Lydia took the opportunity to turn the conversation to the two new Hogwarts students.
"Well, I think it's okay, and then I'll hear what the Sorting Hat has to say, and Mom says it's a funny wizard's hat. Hearing Aunt Lydia's question, Brett looked away from the train ticket in his hand and replied with interest.
"I heard that little Bray has been using his spare time to study magic all these years, and he must be very powerful now. Hall laughed with a mouth full of white teeth.
"Haha, Hall, it's not like I'm bragging to you. If you take the LS exam, it shouldn't be a problem to get more than 10 outs, hahaha. "Xiu is only when he gathers with the McMillan family, and he will not be obsessed with his gentlemanly demeanor.
"Wow, really, little Bray?" Uncle Hall and Aunt Lydia knew that he might be good, but they didn't expect him to be so good, he was simply outstanding.
"Uh...... , probably,. LS Questions. "After all, Brett has a Chinese core, and occasionally he still likes to be a little modest.
"That's amazing, I think you should go to Gryffindor because the Ravenclaw ones are too easy for you and what you need is a challenge. Hall couldn't help but start agitating Brett.
"I'll think about it, uncle, so Cousin Zoe is going to Gryffindor?" Brett asked.
"Ideally, Lydia and I are both Gryffindors, and I hope Zoe and Frank will go to Gryffindor in the future, uh, but Zoe is too introverted, anyway, as long as it's not Slytherin, even if it goes to Hufflepuff, we're okay with that. Hall said.
"Dad, I'm definitely not going to Slytherin, in that case, I'm going to drop out. Zoe blushed and mustered up the courage to say that she was still a little embarrassed even in front of Aunt Sophie and Aunt Xiu.
"Hall, I think you're a bit extreme, and Slytherin aren't all arrogant idiots, like Isaac Wilson and Lynton Martini, they're all very nice people, and most of the current officials of the Ministry of Magic and the high-level technical talents in all fields are from Slytherin, so they must have merit. If Brae chooses Slytherin, we'll be sure to support him as always. Xiu took a sip of red wine and said lightly.
"Well, I don't know what's going on in your Ravenclaw heads. Hall shook his head and stopped continuing the topic, "Do you want to stay at the manor tonight and send the children together tomorrow?"
"Oh, don't bother, we'll hand over little Bray to you. I'm going to the Ministry of Magic early tomorrow morning to discuss something with Hector Foley. Sophie, do you want to stay with us little Bray?" asked Sophie, who was cutting steak next to him.
"I'd better go back with you, I believe that Hall and Lydia can arrange everything, and I also believe in our little Bray's ability to take care of himself. With that, Sophie gracefully put a small piece of beef in her mouth.
At this time, the ocelot Barton slipped in out of nowhere, walked to Zoe's feet and rubbed around, meowing twice from time to time, and in the past month or so, he has grown up a lot.
"By the way, Brett, where's your Nairo? you're going to take it to Hogwarts, aren't you?" Lydia asked Brett in surprise when she saw Barton.
"It's sleeping in the room, and Deputy Headmaster Dumbledore has written back to me saying I can take Nairo to school. ”
"Anyway, where did you find that raven, I've never seen a raven with such powerful magic fluctuations, and sometimes, I don't even dare to look it in the eye. Lydia asked in a whisper, as if she was afraid of being heard by Nairo.
"We don't know exactly what happened, it flew in shortly after the birth of Little Bray and made Butterfield Castle his home. We saw that he especially liked to be close to little Bray, and slowly treated him like family. However, Nairo seems to be very powerful, and after it came, all the goblins in the castle moved overnight. Xiu said slowly.
"Actually, I once saw Nairo blow up two warships, uh, all of a sudden, probably Allied ships trying to dock with us, and then Nairo found out, it just flapped its wings, and the two ships immediately caught fire and exploded. But strangely, when it exploded, there was no loud noise or light, and the two ships disappeared without a sound so quickly. Sophie swallowed the beef in her mouth and picked up the stubble.
Of course, Brett knew what was going on, because it was he who discovered the ship, and then ordered Nairo to go over to the air raid, and the soundproof enchantment was also arranged by him, but the distance was a little far, and it was not well controlled, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Sophie.
"Oh, really? You didn't tell us about it. Xiu asked rhetorically.
"I forgot about it completely, and today I suddenly remembered it again when I mentioned Nairo's skills. Sophie seemed to be wiping her mouth nonchalantly, while the others were already covered in black lines.
"Uh...... In that case, I don't have to worry about Bray being at Hogwarts. After calming down for a while, Xiu spoke.
—————— Harry Potter Plane First Cut—————————
Early the next morning, at about half past six, a ray of sunlight shone in through the gap in the curtain, and Brett was awakened by his biological clock, he did not enter the system world to cultivate last night, but after exercising, he took a hot spring, and then went to bed and slept soundly.
It's rare for London to have such good weather, and Brett feels it's a good sign. After washing, he put on a white shirt, a brown suit with patches on his elbows and knees, and burgundy shoes, and a backpack with a few symbolic clothes on his back.
The MacMillans, with the exception of Franklin, who was still sleeping, were all waiting at the table.
"Good morning Uncle Hall, Aunt Lydia, good morning Zoe. Brett greeted everyone and took his seat, where the maid brought him bacon, omelette, and milk, and some bagels in a basket on the table.
"Good morning, Brett, did you sleep well?" several people greeted Brett as well, and they didn't seem to care that Brett didn't look like a nobleman.
"Had a very good night's sleep, thank you. ”
"Well, it's not too early, Daniel, please go upstairs and wake up Frank, starting tomorrow, his team of tutors will be coming over and help him with his homework, he should get used to getting up on time. ”
"Yes, sir, I'll go and call him. The young butler of Macmillan Manor nodded and walked softly upstairs. The crowd said no more, but silently began to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, Hall continued to sit at the table drinking tea and reading the newspaper, Lydia went upstairs to get a beauty sleep, and Zoe paced up and down the hall, occasionally fetching something, she seemed a little nervous, and Barton had already been locked up in the cat basket and set aside.
Franklin sat on the sofa not far away and pestered Brett to wrestle with him, Brett looked at Zoe and couldn't help but persuade, "Cousin Zoe, are you worried about something? It's okay, if you forgot to bring something, you can ask Uncle Hall to send an owl to you, don't turn around, come and sit for a while, eat some fruit, and sit on the train all day." ”
Zoe hesitated, sighed, and sat down.
Brett smiled and handed her two bananas, "You'll feel better if you eat this, and if you're worried about the Sorting House, then it's a bit redundant." ”
"Hmm, do you know anything?" asked Zoe curiously, taking the banana.
"Because the Sorting Hat doesn't force you, it respects your heart's wishes, and everything else, just gives you advice. If you think you're a Gryffindor, just tell it when the time comes. ”
"Is there anything else? Are you sure?"
"I'm pretty sure that if something goes wrong, you'll settle accounts with me. ”
Seeing that Zoe was much more relaxed, Brett once again teased Franklin heartlessly, and from time to time Franklin laughed heartily.
It wasn't until Lydia walked downstairs again that Hale put down the newspaper, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "It's nine-twenty, let's get ready to go to the station, kids, pack your things, remember to get your tickets." ”
Brett followed the McMillan family of four to the fireplace of an old building near King's Cross Station, which was specially prepared for wizards who needed to take the train, and when the train station was being built, it was almost demolished, but fortunately, some of the top members of the city hall were wizards, so that the building has survived to this day.
After crossing an intersection, they came to King's Cross Station, and at this time, there were already some strangely dressed people in the square, because Brett was only carrying a backpack, and Zoe's suitcase was not very large, so they did not use a cart, but Uncle Hall carried the suitcase, and Zoe herself held Cat Blue.
"Well, everything went well, there's still an hour to go. Hall and Lydia took Franklin to put Brett and Zoe on the train, because it was early and there weren't too many students on the train, Brett and Zoe found a car near the door, put their luggage away, and the two poked their heads out of the window to say goodbye to their families.
"Zoe, you will always be our pride, Mom and Dad love you, remember to write to us. Lydia stood on tiptoe and kissed Zoe, then Brett, "If you need to tell us in time, we have your back." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Lydia. ”
Everyone spoke for a while, and there were more and more wizards on the platform of nine and three-quarters, and Lydia finally said goodbye to Zoe.
"Goodbye Uncle Hall, Aunt Lydia! Goodbye Frank!" Brett waved goodbye to the group.
"Goodbye, Brett, remember to write to me!" Franklin turned and jumped and waved vigorously at Brett.
"I will, don't get into trouble at home!" Brett shouted again.
"Got it, got it. "Franklin understands what Brett means, but it's really hard.
Continue to routinely thank you for loving to read hehehe, I haven't written lazily these days, and I'll write a few more chapters tomorrow, hopefully.
