Chapter 5: The Hogwarts Express
The wand's light was fleeting, but it was enough to surprise Zhang Qiu, as Ollivander said, "really wonderful", even in the wizarding world, such a reaction had never been heard of.
Bai Zhenyu also felt that there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between himself and the wand, and there seemed to be some kind of connection between the minds.
He looked at the wand in his hand, dark brown with a spiral pattern in the middle, it looked very hard, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Ollivander said: "The wand will also pick the master, this wand is made of acacia wood and phoenix feathers, eleven inches, unbendable.
"Acacia wood is a rare material that makes wands so loyal that they refuse to be used by anyone other than their owner.
"And to show the best performance of wizards with magical talents, this sensitivity makes it difficult to find the right owner.
"I want to congratulate you, Mr. Bai, it has chosen you, which means that you are highly talented in magic, and it will add a huge boost to each of your magics."
Bai Zhenyu was stunned when he heard this, he said in his heart that this old man is eloquent, no wonder he has been able to open a wand shop for so long.
Whether he has talent or not, Bai Zhenyu himself is actually not very clear, he used to go to a junior magic academy, and he has not yet started to wear a magic wand, but only learns theory and the history of magic.
"That's it!" Bai Zhenyu happily put away his wand and paid for it.
After leaving the store, Zhang Qiucai said: "I have never heard that when you choose a wand, the wand will flash.
"I swear, even the very gifted Cedric didn't come across anything like that when he was choosing his wand."
Bai Zhenyu was stunned: "So the process of buying my wand is very special?" β
"That's right."
Bai Zhenyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Then please don't tell others about this matter." β
"Why?" Zhang Qiu was a little strange: "This is a manifestation of your magical talent!" β
"That's why I can't tell anyone." Bai Zhenyu smiled: "I want to keep a low profile. β
Zhang Qiu still didn't understand a little: "Okay then." β
At this age, as long as she finds that she has talent, she will want to let people all over the world know, and Zhang Qiu is no exception, so she doesn't understand Bai Zhenyu's thoughts.
After the purchase, I returned to Zhang Qiu's home.
Zhang Weishan listened to Bai Zhenyu's retelling of Ollivanders' evaluation of his wand, Zhang Weishan looked at the wand and said, "He is right, few people can meet a wizard who wields an alloy wand. β
The old man returned the wand to Bai Zhenyu: "Your father and your grandfather are both very talented in magic, and you will naturally not be far behind." β
In the end, he did not forget to tell Zhang Qiu: "Don't tell others about this." β
Zhang Qiu nodded, "Oh", why did grandpa say the same?
That night, Bai Zhenyu couldn't sleep for a long time, and he was slightly excited when he recalled his encounter with Harry Potter.
I believe that the next seven years of study should be very exciting.
I just don't know if the development of the "plot" after that will be the same as in the movie?
If it's the same, then it's cool and crooked, and he Bai Zhenyu will definitely be the "prophet" of this world.
Thinking about it, Bai Zhenyu gradually calmed down, he didn't come to Hogwarts to study, he still had his own tasks.
Is it really good to be too close to Harry?
Hiss~
Bai Zhenyu suddenly thought that the headmaster of Hogwarts, "Uncle Deng", was not a vegetarian, and he was too close to Harry to be easily noticed by him.
If you want to complete the task by yourself, it will be very difficult and you have to be very careful.
Isn't this making things more difficult for yourself!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenyu couldn't sleep at all.
He sat in front of the window and looked at the starry sky outside, there was no way, he could only try to survive the first year!
Then Bai Zhenyu thought that Harry enrolled in the same year as him, which was equivalent to helping himself cover!
Everyone's attention is on Harry, who is an ordinary international student, and if he behaves more ordinarily when the time comes, he will soon be ignored by everyone.
The more Bai Zhenyu thought about it, the more he felt that he should keep his distance from Harry, what happened to Harry at Hogwarts was like death.
People have the aura of the protagonist, and they can always turn danger into a disaster, but they can't follow suit.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenyu's mood was much more relaxed, and he fell asleep after returning to bed for a while.
β¦β¦
Ten days later, Bai Zhenyu got the custom-made school uniform, which means that the new semester at Hogwarts is about to begin.
Before the start of school, Zhang Qiu specially came to Bai Zhenyu's room and talked to him: "I know you are very good at making friends. She said, "But I'm still worried that you're in trouble." β
Bai Zhenyu was stunned: "Do I look like I like to cause trouble?" β
"That's not what I meant." Zhang Qiu suddenly didn't seem to know what to say.
Bai Zhenyu smiled: "Are you afraid that I will have a conflict with the teachers at Hogwarts?" β
"That's right." Zhang Qiu generously admitted: "I have seen some boys who seem to be well-behaved on the surface, but they always get into trouble. β
"Is Cedric included?"
Zhang Qiu smiled helplessly: "I said that I was just friends with him. β
Recently, Zhang Qiu and Bai Zhenyu have been staying at home, and the two have become friends who talk about everything.
During this period, Zhang Qiu talked about Cedric many times, so when there were only the two of them, Bai Zhenyu would occasionally make a joke about Cedric.
Bai Zhenyu also laughed: "I didn't say anything else, just to see if Cedric can use it as an example." β
"He's not like you." Zhang Qiu suddenly said seriously: "He has received a Britannica-style magic education since he was a child, but you have attended a junior magic school in China for three years.
"You may not be aware that there is a big gap between the two, especially in theory, almost the opposite of each other.
"So while you're listening to a lecture, maybe, um, probably ......"
Bai Zhenyu fiddled with his wand: "I understood it before, don't worry, I originally planned to learn again." β
Zhang Qiu let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good." β
The reason why she was so worried was because there were international students who had a conflict with the teacher because of the concept of magic, and finally had a very unpleasant quarrel.
On August 31, Zhang Qiu's parents and grandfather sent Bai Zhenyu and Zhang Qiu to the train station.
Entering the platform of nine and three-quarters, Bai Zhenyu saw the Hogwarts Express pulled by the steam locomotive!
But for a person like Bai Zhenyu who has been in the magic world for a long time, this place is not so wonderful, so he faintly feels some feelings.
If he can post a circle of friends, he will definitely show off: everything starts here, the place where the wizarding world of Great Britain has to check in.
Then accompanied by a few pictures.
Bai Zhenyu and Zhang Qiu came relatively early, and there were still many empty seats on the train, so the two of them found adjacent seats and sat down.
After more than an hour, there were more and more people on the platform, and Bai Zhenyu kept looking out the window, he was looking for the Weasley family and Harry Potter.
When he was looking around, a sunny and handsome big boy who looked a little elegant sat opposite Bai Zhenyu: "Hey, Qiu, this one next to you is the little troublemaker you said in the letter, right?" β
Bai Zhenyu looked at the other party: "If I'm not mistaken, you are Cedric, right?" β
Then he said to Zhang Qiu: "Senior sister, it's not as handsome as you say." β
Cedric laughed, "Sure enough, it's a little trickster." β
Bai Zhenyu also said: "Sure enough, it's not as good-looking as I imagined." β
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Zhang Qiu shook his head helplessly: "The way boys greet each other is really naΓ―ve. β
Then Cedric and Zhang Qiu chatted about their summer vacation, and Bai Zhenyu also joined them in the conversation, occasionally telling a joke, which caused the two senior students to laugh.
As he spoke, the train was about to start.
When he said goodbye to Zhang Weishan and them on the platform, Bai Zhenyu came back to his senses and chatted patronically, not noticing whether Harry and the others had gotten on the train.
Forget it, let's keep talking, Cedric is a funny kid.
In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime, and a girl with brown hair and some no one in her eyes came up and asked, "Have any of you ever seen a toad?" Neville lost a toad. β
