Chapter Seventy-Two: The Orient Express

Carrying a small black suitcase, Rove followed the flow of people and walked slowly towards platform 71/2.

This time it went well, and until he passed through the wall, there was no wizard from the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control to routinely check his chest.

But think about it, Rove went abroad to Albania, even if he carried a magical creature with a fire dragon or something, it was other countries that would be harmed, and the British Ministry of Magic wanted him to leave quickly and not come back.

Next to platform 71/2, there is a beautiful green train that will depart from London, cross the English Channel, stop in France, and cross the continent via Paris, before finally arriving in ...... Constantinople.

Along the way, the train stops in European cities such as Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Bucharest, as well as passing through many pure wizard villages.

This green train also has a name that is far louder than the Hogwarts Express, called ...... Orient Express.

Of course, the term that is commonly used to describe this train is "murder".

The novel Murder on the Orient Express, created by the witch Agatha Christie, caused a huge sensation in the Muggle world, and she herself was repeatedly warned by the Ministry of Magic for violating the Secrecy Act.

At this time, a long line of wizards was checking tickets by the train, and due to the arrival of the holiday, the platform was particularly crowded, and the crowd was much larger than usual pouring through the walls.

The team slowly moved forward, and when it was Rove's turn, he pulled out a blue ticket from his pocket.

The check-in was an old goblin in a black uniform, he was very short, with a swarthy face, a monocle, and a shrewd glint in his black eyes, staring warily at all the wizards.

After taking Rove's ticket, the goblin looked at it carefully and looked up and asked:

"Do you have pets or magical animals? Any animal must be checked in, including toads and mice, and taken out if it is in a pocket! ”

"Nope." Rove shook his head and smiled, "I don't like animals and I never take pets out of the house. ”

The goblin glanced at the boy, then at the passenger's name on the ticket, "Scamander", a surname that had almost been blacklisted by their company.

Yes, pull into the blacklist...... When the Orient Express was first put into operation, the rules and regulations were not perfect, and there were no restrictions on passengers bringing animals.

A Scamander brought a half-sized dragon into the car and burned the roof of the car.

The Eastern Railway Company has urgently added regulations that prohibit passengers from carrying dangerous magical creatures, even ordinary magical creatures, must purchase a check-in service.

But at this time, the consignment service has not yet limited the number of animals, after all, normal wizards can't bring a few animals.

Another Scamander, with two hundred Wicked Birds and twenty Sniffers, almost demolished the carriages.

In the centuries that it has been in operation, the Orient Express has kept adding "Scamander Clauses", all against this wizarding family!

The old elf held up a long detector and scanned it from top to bottom on the boy's chest and back, but found no magical creatures.

He placed the box on a brass magic scanner and began to scan it, a narrow strip of parchment spitting out of a hole in the bottom.

It says that the contents of the box have been detected.

The old goblin tore off the paper, and there were only towels, clothes, and daily necessities, and no magical creatures were found.

The old goblin had no choice but to pick up a stamp, poke it on the ticket, and said coldly: "Go in!" ”

Rove smiled, picked up the suitcase, and headed for the train.

The entire Orient Express is divided into a deluxe viewing room, a sleeper area, a hard seat area and a restaurant.

Needless to say, the Deluxe Observation Room is the most comfortable place in the entire train, with the personal service of a house-elf, and the price is extremely expensive.

The sleeper is much worse, just a small room, two bunk beds, the bed can be used as a chair, the bed can move up and down, when not in use, it is pulled to the highest point.

Rove was a sleeper, but bought two tickets.

So this small carriage, only he uses it alone, at night, locks the carriages, and can do some of the things he loves.

After the boy found his carriage and began to tidy up the room, the red-haired little girl in the opposite room, poked her head out, looked at him curiously, and asked in a crisp voice:

"Are you also a student at Hogwarts?"

"Yes." Rove glanced at the girl and said softly, "You shouldn't be a student yet, right?" ”

There are a lot of students at Hogwarts, but not too many, the first and second year students, Rov treats the students' pets every day, not to mention that they all know each other, but they are basically familiar.

He didn't have much of an impression of the red-haired girl.

"I'll only be enrolled next year." The little girl giggled, "I have older brothers who attend Hogwarts, you probably know." ”

Rove raised an eyebrow, there are not many wizarding families where several older brothers attend Hogwarts, and they still have red hair...... Classic colorways.

The little girl asked curiously, "Isn't it a Hogwarts holiday today?" Where are you going? ”

"Albania."

"Is Albania far from Romania?"

"It's not too far." Rove said casually: "There is only one Serbia in between. ”

The little girl, who obviously didn't know what Serbia was, and didn't have much of a concept of geography, stood at the door of the carriage and jumped up:

"Is it dangerous over there? My second brother raised dragons there, and he wrote that he could ride dragons if he went. We are going to visit him in Romania this holiday season. ”

"I don't know, I've never been to Romania." Rove looked at the little girl, blinked, and smiled:

"But I know divination, do you understand divination? I can figure out the name of your second brother, how about it, do you want to bet on a Galleon? ”

"But I only have one nat." The little girl rummaged through her pockets and said pitifully.

"Then forget it, you can keep it and buy candy to eat."

Rove usually only deceives a little rich woman like Hermione, not a little girl who has no money, he still has his own bottom line, although he is more flexible.

"Then what do you say my second brother's name is?" The little girl asked, raising her head.

"Your second brother's name is Charlie, and your name is Ginny, right?"

"Wow, you're right! You're amazing! Ginny winked big eyes and complimented:

"You're so much better than Ron, he's done magic on me before, and he hasn't ever succeeded in it, and my mom says he's our family's stupid."

“……”

The little girl twisted the corners of her clothes with both hands and whispered, "Have you seen Harry Potter?" ”

Rove was stunned and said, "Yes." ”

Ginny said expectantly, "Is he as good-looking as you?" I glanced at the train last year, but I didn't see it clearly. ”

Rove coughed his throat and said, "That's a tough question, you'll know when you meet Harry at school next year." ”

At this moment, a heart-rending cry suddenly came from the corridor in the distance:

"Murdered!"

Rove's eyebrows were raised, a little excited, worthy of ...... Orient Express!
