However, until the flames were extinguished, the ice did not melt in the slightest.

"It looks like this is a big problem. Cynthia concluded.

Marcus and Tom go to the basement to find the flamethrower and work with Korubelos to try to melt the ice.

But they were busy for hours, and the ice was still strong.

"Optimistically," Cynthia didn't look worried, "it's a testament to Tom's magic." ”

"The question now is, where do we rest before we settle this layer of ice. Tom wasn't happy at all.

He had just slid to the door of his room and found that the entire room was frozen - including his beloved science books and textbooks and materials needed to get to Hogwarts.

"Have you forgotten that we still have a third floor in our house?" Cynthia chuckled, "As for your textbooks, don't worry, we'll just buy them again." ”

Tom's room was moved from the second floor to the third floor.

When Tom came home from school on Monday, he found that his new room had been filled with empty wardrobes and bookcases full of new books.

However, he found that his new school bag did not contain his primary school textbooks except stationery.

"Anyway, after this week, you'll graduate from elementary school, and you won't buy textbooks or anything. That's what Marcus said.

"But during the summer vacation, I'm afraid we'll have to go to Diagon Alley and buy you textbooks and materials for your Hogwarts school. Cynthia added.

It's not a big deal either.

Tom thought to himself.

It's finally summer vacation, and Marcus once again takes the family to Diagon Alley.

Rubelos says he feels satisfied with another delicious ice cream.

In the days that followed, Tom had a very uneventful life.

There were no new Kurot cards, no new spells were tried, and he took a vacation to Montenegro with his mom and dad, and learned to dive in Hawaii with his godfather.

And so the days passed, and soon it came to the 31st of August.

On this day, Tom woke up early.

He checked his suitcase again and again to make sure he hadn't missed anything.

"Don't worry, my kid," Marcus said as he carried Tom's luggage into the trunk, "if there's anything you forgot to bring, you can call me and Cynthia and we'll get it for you." ”

Tom nodded nervously.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at King's Cross Station.

Marcus and Cynthia enter the station with Tom and Corubelos through the Noble Passage.

"Take care of yourself at school. Cynthia reluctantly hugged Tom.

Tom nodded silently.

Marcus just patted Tom on the shoulder.

The station guard helped Tom push the trolley to the waiting hall and left.

Tom held the trolley in one hand and pulled the ticket out of his pocket with the other.

"Platform nine and three-quarters?" Tom suspected he had read wrong.

He rubbed his eyes and confirmed again.

Well, the wizarding world cannot be viewed with conventional eyes.

Tom motioned for Chromeulos to follow him, and went from platform to platform.

"I knew I would have asked my mother first. "Tom is now between platforms nine and ten, at a loss.

As a last resort, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Cynthia's number.

"Mom, do you know how to get to the nine-and-three-quarters platform?"

"Well, maybe you can ask the guard," Cynthia said happily on the phone, "Mommy doesn't know either!"

"I have to say," Tom hung up, "sometimes mom isn't very reliable." ”

Rubelos nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, it tugged at Tom's trouser leg with its mouth and dragged him in one direction.

"What's wrong, Koru?" Tom looked alarmingly, left and right, and followed the force of Korubellos to a partition wall.

"I felt the smell of the Kulo cards. Seeing that there was no one around, Rubelos whispered to Tom.

"Where?"

Rubelos pointed at the wall with his tail.

Tom frowned in embarrassment.

On the one hand, there was only half an hour left before the departure time on the ticket, and they had not yet found the platform, and on the other hand, there were so many people here that Tom could not think of any way to get away with the Kurot cards for a while.

"It's packed with Muggles every year. A caustic voice came from not far away.

"Seriously, when will Hogwarts allow us to use the fireplace to the school, the smell here is unbearable. ”

Tom and Korubelos jerked their heads up.

I saw a black-haired girl pushing a trolley towards them with an impatient face, and a cage with an owl on the big suitcase.

Tom and Chromelos looked at each other - they didn't have to worry about finding the platform.

Behind the black-haired girl is a couple who don't seem to get along.

They noticed Tom and Korubelos on the wall, and their eyes lingered on Korubelos for a moment, and the three of them walked straight towards the wall.

Tom's eyes didn't dare to blink.

Just when Tom thought the family was about to hit the wall, they went straight through the wall and disappeared.

"Nine and three-quarters of a platform?" Tom looked at Koruberos, "or the Kuro card?"

"There's a real smell of Kulo on the wall. "Rubelos's voice is small.

"Maybe we can try it first?" Tom reoriented the cart, "maybe the Kuro card is on the other side of the wall?"

But Rubelos blinked.

A group of strangely dressed men approached with a trolley.

After confirming that the men had indeed passed through the wall, Tom told Korubelos to jump onto the cart.

"Hold on!" Tom reminded, touching the wall with the front of the trolley.

There was no sound of collision, and the front end of the trolley went straight into the wall.

Tom was relieved, and with a hard hand, he plunged headlong into it.

It's like passing through a thin barrier, and in a blink of an eye, the world in front of you changes.

A bright red steam train rests on the tracks, with "Hogwarts Express" written on the front of the train.

A group of strangely dressed people walked around the platform and talked.

Tom looked up, and a stop sign hung above his head that read "9.3/4".

The location of the partition wall was replaced by a passageway, and a group of red-haired children rushed towards them with a trolley, one of which nearly hit Tom.

They saw Corubelos and whistled at Tom with an eyebrow.

Tom quickly moved out of his seat and headed for the train.

Rubelos jumped out of the cart and walked beside Tom.

"Can you still feel the Currot cards?" asked Tom as he looked around.

"The smell of the Kuro card is so strong that it makes me suspicious. Hubelos replied quietly.

"Suspect what?"

"I suspect that the place we are in is actually made up of the Kuro cards. ”
