Not far from the platform, Hermione ran to the Grangers, who were smiling and waving at them. Mr. Granger hugged his daughter, lifted her up and spun her around, rubbing the unkempt hair on top of Hermione's head.

Hermione, somewhat embarrassed, broke away from her father's arms and introduced Helena to her father.

It was already a surprise to the Granger couple that they had a little witch and saw the wizarding world, but today they saw a ghost for the first time in their lives.

At this time, he is being introduced to a ghost, much to the horror of Mr. Granger. He looked around, and saw that as if no one around him could see them, a ghost appeared in the station in the open, and the passers-by turned a blind eye.

Compared to Mr. Granger's strong composure, Mrs. Granger's gaze did not dare to look at Helena. She was pale and clutched her daughter's hand tightly.

"Hello Helena. Mr. Granger offered to hold out his hand, and Helena held out his hand to him. At the moment of their contact. Mr. Granger felt the chill invade his skin, and the cold sensation spread down his arm and down his body. He tried his best to calm down, hoping to stop the trembling of his thighs and slow his heartbeat.

"Helena is the house ghost of Ravenclaw and is friendly, don't worry. Hermione hurriedly reassured, and continued to massage her mother's sweaty hand to comfort her.

Mr. Granger did his best not to keep his eyes on Helena for too long, and though his fear was mixed with curiosity, he soon discovered that the ghost girl was haughty but polite. Although it was cold, it did not show any hostility towards them that was said to be some pure-blood wizard.

Arriving at the parking lot, Mr. and Mrs. Granger sat in the front row, while Allen's four ghosts crowded into the back. Helena floated diagonally through the air above Emily and Allen's heads, watching without blinking as Mr. Granger started the car and took control of the steering wheel.

"Dad, because of Helena's constitution, Eren can't use magic to bring her back to ......" Before Hermione could finish explaining, Mr. Granger interrupted her, assuring, "Don't worry, baby, I'll send your classmates home safely." ”

"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Granger. But don't bother, I'll drive. As soon as I sent Luna and Helena home, I returned the car. Alan hurriedly said, he was embarrassed to borrow the car, how dare he bother Mr. Granger to run around.

"You're 17 years old too? Time flies...... Hermione's 79 years seems to be older than all of you in the same year, she applied before, and got full marks on the multiple-choice questions and mock film tests, but she drove the car to ...... during the road test Ahem......" Hermione, who had been told in public, lay on her classmates in a bit of a frenzy, and went over to hammer her father, and Mr. Granger coughed at the sudden slam, "Uh...... But Eren passed it so quickly? that's amazing...... I took the test many times before I passed. ”

Alan, who had only planned to use the Confusion Charm to get away with a Muggle police check, gave Hermione a flattering smile and told her to keep it a secret, and then went along with Mr. Granger's words, "Good luck." ”

Mr. Granger's car played his favorite music and walked among the buildings, but the traffic situation in London was not optimistic, and there were some traffic jams, so the car did not move fast, and after walking for a long time, under the shaking of the car, except for the female ghost who was curious about the London of this era, the passengers dozed off because of boredom.

I don't know how long it took, when Hermione woke up, she found that Alan next to her was leaning against the car window and also asleep, while Emily was half-leaning on his arms, her long curly eyelashes were like butterfly wings, quietly hanging on her face, looking very sweet. On the other side, Luna's long golden curls covered half of her face, and she slept soundly.

Even Helena, who was floating in the air, put her head through the roof of the car to look at the street scenery, Hermione's face couldn't help but smile, in the sound of the car's motor, in this small square inch, her heart felt very peaceful, a warm feeling spontaneously arose.

Hermione tilted her upper body to look ahead to the left, her mother was asleep, she must have gotten up early to greet her, and she pursed her lips with some guilt.

Then, Hermione looked into the front right cab through the rearview mirror, and was terrified to find that her father, who was driving, also closed his eyes, Hermione's cold sweat suddenly came out of her body, and what warmth and drowsiness were gone, and she let out a sharp voice that she rarely made and shouted: "Dad, wake up!"

Then, under the influence of Hermione's screams, the passengers in the car also let out a screaming chorus one after another—Mr. Granger was the last to wake up.

Because everyone was sleepless, the car finally drove all the way to Hermione's house, and although it was still less than four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was gradually darkening, and the dark clouds were gathering. Mrs. Granger looked at the sky, and was a little embarrassed to think about the stupid thing her husband had just done, so she politely invited them to Allen: "It looks like it may rain heavily in a while, and you have to pay attention to safety when driving on a rainy day, why don't you come in and drink a little hot drink, eat something to be sober?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Granger. Alan helped Mr. Granger get all the salutes that belonged to Hermione out of the trunk, "It's just a long way to go, and I can't afford to delay any longer, and I want to rush back before dinner, so that my mother's hard-working meal can't be wasted." ”

Mrs. Granger did not insist, but was very satisfied with Alan's attitude towards his mother, and Mr. Granger took out some sugar-free gum from the trunk where the lid had not been closed and gave them to them, "Chewing on the road will avoid the boredom and sleepiness of the journey." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Granger, I'll be able to get Helena back as soon as I get him home. Alan took the gum and sat in the driver's seat, saying goodbye to the Grangers, but no sign of Hermione.

Luna sat in the passenger seat next to Alan, and Emily took her backpack out of the trunk and sat in the back seat next to her niece Helena.

"Alan, bring this map with you. Hermione, who had just hurried back to the room, ran over with a map in her hand and handed it to Alan through the car window, after all, Alan had never driven home on weekdays, and Hermione was worried that he would not find his way, "See you in a few days." ”

"Thank you Hermione, it's going to work, you're always so thoughtful, we'll see you in a few days. Alan approvingly said that Hermione was always so methodical.

"Have a safe journey and stay safe. Hermione, who was blushing with admiration, admonished, and the Granger family of three watched Alan start the car, drive away, and wave goodbye to the car they were driving away - although he was a little unaccustomed to the opposite position of the cab, but deliberately reassuring the Grangers, who had not offered to check his driver's license, Allen was still very skillful.

"Luna, Emily, it's a long way to go, would you like to apparition home first?" asked Allen.

"No, I'm going to get in the car. Luna looked at the steering wheel Alan held with interest, "Wait until you're home, and I'll apparition home." ”

"I'm going to ride with you too. Emily replied obediently, holding her backpack.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and in the gray city, the red traffic lights, the clogged roads made the drivers anxious, and the rain was pouring down from the air, Alan looked at the cassette tape in Mr. Granger's car, flipped through a tray, and inserted it into the car's player, and a song "The Sound Of Silence" flowed through the car.

Alan watched the road and took the opportunity to introduce Helena to the family: "We live in Dorset, where the famous magizoologist Newt Scamander and his wife Tina lived, and the magical creature Ponlock, who loves to guard horses, has a habitat in our area......"

Luna flipped through the map and pointed out the location of the county: it was a county in the southwest of England, on the northern shore of the English Channel. Dorset is bordered by Devon to the west, Somerset to the northwest, Wiltshire to the northeast and Hampshire to the east. Both Winburn and Milburn are located in this county.

"My grandfather's house and I are here. Luna pointed to Devon, "You go back to your father's house first, and then come back to me in a few days." ”

The Luna, Weasley, Fawcett and Diggory families were all in the village of Otrie-St. Cartpole in Devon, where Nicol Lemay and his wife, Perenal, also lived in Devon, but they died in 1992. Allen added.

"I know that Draco Malfoy's Malfoy estate is in Wiltshire, northeast. Emily whispered, "Pansy often tells Slytherin about how big the manor is......"

"Now, it's about two and a half minutes to get south of Wiltshire on the Salisbury line, and about twenty or thirty minutes more to get to the south and go home. Allen, who was not yet accustomed to the British driver's seat, took the steering wheel with both hands, stepped on the accelerator and picked up speed.

Luna opened a pack of sugar-free gum and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Give Emily a piece too. Through the rearview mirror, Alan saw the little girl staring at the sugar-free gum in Luna's hand, and reminded Luna with a smile.

Emily chewed on the sugar-free gum twice and spit it onto the wrapper, and for Emily, the sugar-free gum was clearly not as appealing as the snacks in her own bag. She pulled out a chocolate frog, removed the wrapper, and bit off the frog's head in one gulp.

Emily would have tasted the same Beans, Crucible Cakes, and Pumpkin Pie that she had bought on the Hogwarts Express, and she would rather ride home in a Muggle car for a while more precisely because she wanted to take the opportunity to have a few more snacks. Alan looked in the rearview mirror and noticed that Helena was glancing at Emily every time she changed her snacks, and his hand gripping the steering wheel tightened.

"Helena, if the food smells particularly strong, can you smell it?" asked Alan.

"A lot of ghosts like to smell rotten, smelly things that smell more or less, but I'm not interested in that. Helena replied, "Nick, who was almost headless, loves maggot-filled lamb tripe and green-haired cheese, and Fat Friar loves stinky salmon, and those just make me sick." ”

"Ellen, give me the Resurrection Stone. Luna chewed gum and suddenly stretched out her hand to Allen, "During the summer vacation, I studied this bad thing to see if I could change Helena's situation, Peeves is not a ghost, it is beyond life and death, and it is never alive, but if necessary, we will take the time to go back to school to catch it and study it - ask your aunt to help us find another female ghost, and see if we can let Helena touch something and restore some of the feeling of being alive." ”

Alan handed the Resurrection Stone to Luna in exchange for a few pieces of gum and threw them into his mouth, and the child seemed to have a thought of what he had previously thought.

Finally drove out of the city of London, but not far away, the thunder exploded, the rain crackled and smashed on the windshield of the car, the wipers swayed rhythmically from side to side, accompanied by the music playing in the car, Luna sitting in the front passenger seat chewed gum in her mouth, her slightly bulging eyes stared at the wiper in front of the point, her body swayed from side to side with the wiper in front of her, the girl first let her head and the wiper keep shaking at the same frequency, suddenly, Luna accelerated the frequency of the body and head shaking, it looked like the wiper was following her swing, and her long light blonde hair also flew with it。

Eren turned his head, a little surprised, but his gaze couldn't seem to take away from such Luna, the corners of his mouth went up, and his whole expression was incredibly soft.

Luna's slender fingers pressed the window lift button, lowered the window, unbuckled her seatbelt, and her entire upper body leaned out of the window, holding the window with her slender white arms to stabilize her figure. The rain slapped against her delicate cheeks, but she didn't care, instead closed her eyes like a child, lifted her face, opened her mouth, and let the rain flow into her mouth and swallow a few mouthfuls.

Seeing the look on Alan's face as if she was confused, Emily, who was sitting in the back row, stopped sucking the Martian stick in her hand, she pursed her mouth, and said sarcastically in her heart: "Pretend to be tender." ”
