London

King's Cross Station,

Platform 71/2.

In late summer, the rain poured on the eaves, and streams of delicate water trickled down the sink.

afar

A green-skinned steam train slowed down, accompanied by a whistle, and finally came to a slow stop in front of the platform.

After the train stopped, the door opened, and a teenager stepped down:

With blonde hair, dark blue pupils, and soft facial features, he looks handsome and extraordinary...... Much like Leonardo DiCaprio when he was younger.

He carried a black leather suitcase, small but delicate.

The boy walked out of the platform in the rain and followed the flow of people through a thick wall into the King's Cross station hall.

After only a few steps, he was stopped by a group of men in black with sunglasses.

This scene attracted the attention of many wizards...... With such a big battle, could it be that the young master of a pure-blooded big family returned to China?

But upon inquiry, it turned out that it was the Ministry of Magic that arrested the suspect, and everyone immediately dispersed.

The young man stopped, looked at the man in black who surrounded him, narrowed his dark blue pupils, and grabbed the small black suitcase in his hand.

The man in black walked out of his way, and a ruddy-faced Ministry of Magic official came up to him, and he took out a document from his pocket and shook it lightly in midair.

The man's voice was as gentle as possible, as if he was afraid of scaring the young "suspect" in front of him.

"Hello, my name is Amos Diggory and I work for the Department of Magical Biological Management and Control."

"Hello, my name is Scamander...... Rove Scamander. The boy nodded politely and asked in a slightly confused tone:

"Mr. Diggory, do you have anything to do with me?"

Diggory looked Rove up and down, and said in a deep voice:

"According to Article 73 of the Secrecy Act, all wizards who travel internationally are subject to routine checks...... Thank you for your cooperation! ”

Rove clutched the small black leather case tightly in his right hand, and seemed a little nervous, but he still smiled brightly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Absolutely."

The boy took out his passport from his pocket and handed it to Diggory, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he almost went into cardiac arrest.

It turned out that the lock of the black leather case popped open, and a soft tentacle crept out along the crack.

Luckily, it was a mimic octopus with tentacles attached to the box like a strip of black cloth, and Diggory was unaware of the anomaly.

Rove slowly shoved the tentacles back into the box and clasped the lock on his face as if nothing had happened.

After checking his passport, Diggory handed it back to Rove, and said in a deep voice, "So Mr. Scamander, the purpose of your return home?" ”

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry starts today." Rove's eyes were as calm as possible, and he said softly, "I'm a first-year freshman. ”

Probably.

He silently added in his heart.

It's true that Rove is a freshman, but he didn't receive an acceptance letter from Hogwarts!

Diggory narrowed his gray-yellow eyes and looked at Rove, as if he wanted to see something on his face, but the young man with his head tilted up smiled at him, his eyes clear, like a pool of clear water.

"You've been staying in the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary this summer?"

"I also went to the forests of Albania on the way." Rove was quick to add: "With my grandfather. ”

"Albanian forests?"

"Yes, there are quite a few magical creatures there that have died mysteriously, rumored to be the work of vampires or Chupacabbra." Rove shrugged:

"The Albanian Ministry of Magic invited my grandfather to investigate, and he is a professional in this area!"

Diggory let out an "um" and didn't ask too much, he obviously didn't care about the little episode that happened in distant Albania, and all his attention was on the teenager.

It would be more accurate to put it ...... On the chest in Scamander's hand!

According to the dusty archives of the Ministry of Magic, it is likely that it contains countless dangerous magical creatures, enough to destroy all of London.

Five stars for the danger factor!!

Rove's expression was indifferent, but his heart was not as relaxed and idle as he seemed on the surface.

He is very much like a criminal who was stopped by the traffic police to strictly investigate drunk driving...... The key is whether you really "drink" or "binge".

Diggory glanced at the box in Rove's hand, touched his brown-red beard, and said slowly, "Mr. Scamander, you didn't bring any contraband, did you?" ”

Rove subconsciously rubbed his thumb and forefinger with the box, and he said with a 'blank' face:

"For example?"

"The fire dragon of the Romanian reserve, or the Albanian forest...... Bloodsucker? ”

“……”

"Mr. Diggory, I'm only eleven years old, how could I possibly carry such a thing with me, you have such a good sense of humor!"

Rove blinked his blue eyes, revealing just the right amount of grievance, and with his pure appearance, he became more and more pitiful.

Smuggling dragons and vampires is no small crime.

Once he is seated, he doesn't have to go to Hogwarts and can book a one-way ticket to Azkaban House...... Go there to continue your "further education".

The accompanying female Ministry of Magic officials were also faintly dissatisfied, and always felt that the boss was not very good at using his brain.

How could a smuggler be so good-looking...... Ahem, she said smugglers, how could they have such innocent eyes!

Looking at Rove's innocent and dazed look, the witch was even more overflowing with maternal love, and she was so distressed that she couldn't wait to take it into her arms and have a good pity.

What a beautiful look!

Unmoved, Diggory continued to interrogate persistently: "What's in the box?" ”

"Nothing...... Daily necessities. ”

"Can it be opened?"

"I'm sorry, but this involves my personal privacy, and you have no right to ...... Well, I mean, since the Ministry of Magic asked for an inspection, of course you can. ”

Seeing Diggory touch the wand on his waist, Rove hurriedly changed his words and handed over the box.

Just the moment he handed it over, he quietly pressed a button on the box.

Diggory took the box, immediately opened the lock, lifted the lid, and saw clothes, notebooks, maps, alarm clocks, watches......

He checked it repeatedly, and then asked the man in black behind him to cast various detection spells, but he found nothing, and did not find the dark layer of the Traceless Stretching Charm, and the legendary dangerous magical creatures.

Diggory grunted, a little disappointed, as if the bright future of promotion and salary increase was far away from him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Scamander, but the check is correct...... Welcome back to London and have a great evening at the Chamber. ”

Rov breathed a sigh of relief, he took the little black suitcase, and after thanking him happily, he waved his hand and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Mr. Diggory, and everyone from the Ministry of Magic." ”

He walked a few steps briskly, and his originally dignified steps finally became lighter, but fortunately, the box was reinforced with magic in advance, which could isolate any magic detection, otherwise it would have been ......

Just got off the train, and people are in Azkaban!

With a hint of luck, Rove strode towards platform 93/4 with a small black suitcase, and stopped again when there were still more than ten meters left.

Not far away, a brown-haired girl stood alone in front of a wall, with large bags of luggage side by side, perfectly blocking the entrance to the platform.

The girl folded her arms around her chest, raised her head, stared blankly for a moment, carefully pulled out a wand, waved it into the air, and muttered a spell in her mouth.

"Alaho Cave Open!"

It just didn't happen.

The maiden immediately recited the words again, and quickly recited other incantations, but to no avail.

She whimpered and scratched at her hair, her already fluffy curls growing more and more messy, as if she had just been sniffed out of a vault.

A voice suddenly rang out. "Are you doing an improvisation?"

The brown-haired girl was stunned, and turned her head to look at the voice, she was a young man with smiling eyebrows and eyes, and she couldn't look better.

He was carrying a small black suitcase and looking at her with a pair of talking blue eyes.

The girl hesitated a little and asked tentatively, "You are also a wizard?" ”

"yes, this year's freshmen." Rov straightened his clothes, put the brightest smile on his face, and walked slowly towards the girl.

Make a good impression on your new classmates!

"Are you doing a wand dance? It's been a long time since I've been back to the UK, and this is a new trend in the wizarding world lately? Quite interesting......"

The brown-haired girl's face suddenly turned red. "I'm working my magic looking for the entrance to Platform 93/4!"

“……”

"I'm sorry, I thought you were performing...... Street art too. Rove hurriedly apologized.

The girl glared at him in annoyance, her standard spell casting!

Standard!!

"Did you find the entrance?" Rove asked again.

The girl hesitated for a moment, raised her white chin, and nodded lightly: "Almost!" ”

Rove glanced at her suspiciously, where you were gesturing with your wand for a long time, as if directing traffic...... Are you sure you've found the entrance?

"Give me a little more time, and I'll find it in a moment." The girl seemed to be full of confidence, she stretched her neck, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously:

"I tell you, according to my speculation...... The entrance to Platform 93/4 was deliberately hidden by the school, and you had to pass a series of tests to get in. ”

Test...... Rove was stunned for two seconds, looking at the girl's confident expression, which made him a little unconfident.

Am I mistaken, didn't you go through the wall in front of you and enter platform 93/4?

"Hmm...... Why would schools do this? Rove raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, it's to test the new students, and then they will be sorted according to their performance...... You always know about the Branches, right? The brown-haired girl said with a straight face:

"I read in Hogwarts, a piece of school history that every new student has to be separated."

"If you can use magic to find the entrance to platform 93/4, you probably have a good performance and can be assigned to the best house!"

Seeing the young man's suspicious eyes, the girl raised her eyebrows and said confidently:

"Don't believe it, I just cast my magic to show how well I've been studying during the summer...... I've tried some simple mantras at home, just to practice, but they all worked! ”

She raised her chin as haughty as a great white goose, and said a lot in her mouth like a cannon, as if she was in a hurry to prove:

She's not a ridiculous fool who stupidly performs the "Wand Dance", but a brilliant freshman who has insight into the school's intentions and tries to complete the test!

After listening to the girl's eyebrows, Rove said meaningfully: "Are you thinking too much?" ”

"What do you think too much!" The girl pouted: "I bought a lot of magic books during the holidays, and I memorized all the textbooks!" ”

"Wow...... You're amazing. Rove bowed slightly, "But what does it have to do with the entrance to the platform?" ”

“……”

The brown-haired girl pursed her lips, puffed out her cheeks, clenched her fists, this underwhelming tone, I really want to hit someone!

Seeing that she was annoyed, Rove hurriedly said, "I seem to have found the entrance." ”

The girl's face was full of disbelief.

"Really, this ...... Unknown miss, don't believe it, let's bet on a Galleon! ”

Carrying the black suitcase, Rove lifted his legs across the girl's luggage, walked towards the wall, and under her gaze, went straight through the wall.

The brown-haired girl's eyes widened, her face full of incredulity, the last time she showed this expression, she received an admission letter from an owl.

A moment later, Rove walked through the wall again, revealing only one head.

"You lose, take a Galleon." He grinned, "By the way, I forgot to ask, this classmate...... What is your name? ”

The girl's expression was a little dull, and after a while, she whispered:

"Hermione Granger."

The young man carrying the black box was stunned, his blue eyes narrowed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger.

"Hello, my name is Rove Scamander!" Rov stretched out a hand and held it up lightly in front of the girl.

"Welcome to the wizarding world for the first time!"

Hermione also stretched out a hand and shook it gently, and there was a sudden "ding" in Rove's brain.
