Chapter 114: Dumbledore's First Army
"Well, we don't have time to dwell on those trifles." Dumbledore suddenly recovered from his emotion and spoke to Shevin and Newt. "Grindelwald's plan is about to begin, and our mission is to stop him by all means!"
Dumbledore handed Shevin a delicate light brown ticket with gold lettering on itβ
"London (King's Cross) to Berlin (Friedrichstrasse station), one-way ticket. Platform 3 and a 3, the Sublime Magic Express. β
"Wait, what are you going to do with my ticket?" Xiwen was stunned for a moment and asked.
"It's not for you." Dumbledore smiled and said to Sven. "Please help me pass it on to Mr. Strange, and tell him to be on time for the train by the way."
"Isn't this still for me after all......" Xiwen twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered to himself.
Immediately, he laughed a little wickedly, and asked Dumbledore, "So how can Strange, as a ghost, carry such a ticket?" β
"Just tell him when the train is going and where it's stationing." Dumbledore winked playfully and said with a smile.
"I guess the train inspector won't be so bored as to embarrass a ghost!"
β¦β¦
The silver peaks under the canopy are undulating, and the mountains are covered with snow, and the snow in the fog is as soft as flannel on the Alps, and the world is silvery white.
An old, old, green-skinned train cascades along the gentle slopes of silver-white peaks, looming over the mountains and mist. Its green exterior is also stained with white snowflakes on the way, slightly obscuring its old appearance.
Although the exterior is very old, the interior of the carriage is very delicate. The interior of the cabin has a red leather upholstery with brass veneers of gold leaf and walnut for a luxurious feel.
However, this luxurious cabin environment did not make Xiwen's mood happy.
At this moment, the ghost Xiwen was floating up and down the carriage with his hands on his chest, staring blankly at the snow-covered Alps and the occasional flicker of cedar trees by the side of the train.
"So just a few of us going against the 100,000 followers of Grindelwald?" Xiwen still couldn't bear the loneliness after all, and asked.
"Hey, this ghost brother, you can't say that! In fact, we just need to deal with Grindelwald and his squires. The man standing next to Xiwen smiled and spoke enthusiastically. What's more, you're not a 'person', so your words aren't accurate. β
This man bears a bit of a resemblance to Newt, and he is very handsome in a straight suit.
As he spoke, he seemed to subconsciously want to reach out and wrap his hand around Xiwen's shoulder, but then he saw Xiwen's somewhat transparent body, so he embarrassedly put down his hand in mid-air and touched his nose instead.
Hearing Newt's brother Theseus say that he was not human, Siwen was not angry and had no objections. After all, he's just a ghost now, and it's not wrong to say that he's not a 'human'.
That is until he sees a house-elf pushing a cart containing very good-looking tea, coffee, sandwiches and small cakes.
Xiwen glanced at the food that was close in front of him but could not taste it, and felt very depressed.
He glanced at the few people in the carriage again, and felt even more depressed, only to feel that the future of fighting Grindelwald was extremely slim......
"Mr. Strange, we're not the only ones we have now. We have other members who have not yet arrived. Newt saw Shevan's depressed expression and said to him.
"I hope so." Xiwen nodded noncommittally and said casually.
One thing to say, Sevin already regretted joining Dumbledore's "project". He didn't think much of the so-called "Dumbledore's Army" right now, and he always felt that this team had a sense of unprofessionalism as if it had been put together on an improvised basis.
"Your last name is Strange?" At this moment, a brown-skinned man walked over and asked Xiwen.
"Well, that's right." Xiwen nodded hesitantly, looking at the brown-skinned man in front of him with some inexplicability.
"What do you have to do with the Lestrange family?" The brown-skinned man's expression became serious and asked solemnly.
Xiwen looked at the man in front of him a little confused, not knowing what was wrong with the name of the little junior brother he used casually. Is it because there are only two letters between Strange and Lestrange?
Xiwen reluctantly said, "I'm sure that the surname Strange has nothing to do with Lestrange!" β
'It's two different worlds at all, can it matter!' He felt ridiculous and scolded himself.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not very good, Newt hurriedly walked over and stopped between the two.
"Karma, Mr. Strange is a ghost from the East, and he really doesn't have any connection to the Lestrange family." Newt said to the brown-skinned man named Kama.
"Indeed, the English surname Strange was even casually given by me." Xiwen nodded innocently and agreed.
Kama's face calmed down at this time, and she bent down to Xiwen and said, "I'm sorry, I overreacted. β
Theseus leaned in.
"Mr. Spectre, you don't have to pay attention to him. This person just has some PTSD! He grabbed Kama by the shoulder and said to Shivan. Ten years ago, he even wanted to kill Credence and my fiancΓ©e, Rita. β
At the mention of Rita's name, Theseus's expression was visibly lonely.
Karma didn't notice so much and just seriously retorted, "I don't have PTSD. β
"No, you have." Theseus said.
ββ¦β¦β
Newt ignored the two men who were arguing, looked at Shivan, and explained to him, "Actually, Karma did this for a hard time. His father had made him set an unbreakable curse to take revenge on the previous head of the Lestrange family. β
"Revenge?" Xiwen was stunned for a moment.
As a pure-blood family that also originated in the Enamel Kingdom and developed at the same time in the Enamel Kingdom, the Rozier family and the Lestrange family are still very familiar. Most of the Rozier's knowledge of the Department of Mysteries comes from the Lestrange family, which often marries.
And Sivin has also roughly heard the story of the previous generation of the head of the Enamel branch of the Lestrange family - the Lestrange family head Corvus Lestrange IV, who once used the Imperian Charm to rob a beautiful witch and let her give birth to a son......
"So you're ......?" Shiwen asked as he looked at Karma with a strange look.
Cama also stopped talking to Theseus, and said in a heavy tone: "That's right, the woman who was snatched by Lestrange is my mother!" β
"Forget it, then I'll forgive you." Xiwen held his forehead with his hand.
He didn't expect that as the heir of the Rozier family, he would actually see the outrageous deeds of the friendly Lestrange family.
Fortunately, he is now acting as a soul Stephen Strange, otherwise Xiwen would feel even more embarrassed......
Suddenly, the entire carriage was illuminated by a green firelight.
The fireplace in the carriage connected to the Floo network lit up, attracting the attention of everyone present!
