Chapter 4: Nine and Three-Quarters Station
After a period of orderly arrangement, Brie moved into her own room, which seemed not bad, although simple, but at least clean, without the hair left by the previous guest or anything.
Outside of these routines, Brie is more likely to read his own textbook, which subverts Brie's worldview, and even if he is prepared, he inevitably falls into the mysteries of magic.
Of course, experimentation is a must.
Brie holds the spellbook in one hand and a wand that belongs to Brie in the other.
Brie's wand is made of green vine wood, and the cyan torso is wrapped with silver hollow silver wires, extending from the tip of the wand to the end like a vine, and curls into a beautiful openwork handle at the end, which is very comfortable to hold, 9 inches long, extremely tough, and can be bent into a bracelet on its own.
"Ollivander says you don't have a core, but you and I both understand that your core is a force of nature."
After saying that, Brie waved his wand without hesitation and said, "Fluorescent flicker!" ”
As Brie spoke, a faint whirlwind of magic gathered in the hollowed out handle at the end of the wand, and a bright glow emerged from the tip of the wand.
It's a glowing charm, a nice little spell that Brie cast the first time, and it's very effective.
But then Brie frowned, he also obtained An Qing's special magic power because of An Qing's memory in his mind, but he could clearly feel that when he cast the spell just now, what he mobilized was not the part of the magic power that An Qing gave him, but like his own.
"Isn't there an Qing's memory, will I also be a little wizard?"
Brie was delighted by this discovery, and it seemed that everything he did not need An Qing's memory.
Brie didn't mobilize the magic in his body, he wanted to rely on himself; Such pride was something that Brie himself was not aware of, or that he did not consider it bad.
With the success of one spell after another, Brie became more and more confident, and only stopped when he came into contact with some esoteric magic, and began to read the annotations in the textbook, or touch on the sidelines, to supplement his magical knowledge and common sense of magic.
But it has to be said that the history of magic can become a subject for Brie's headaches......
When he woke up the next day, Brie looked at the "History of Magic" in his hand, by Bathilda Basshat, although his mind was clear, but when he recalled, he couldn't find much record about this in his head, and even some of his memories were in vain because of the poor memory of various matters.
"I don't like the history of magic, and I hope this class doesn't matter."
Putting the textbook of "History of Magic" in his suitcase, Brie picked up "Magic Potions and Potions" and continued his preparatory path, only by using the available time to make himself stronger, whether it is strength or wisdom, can he face the unknown changes.
As time passed, Brie finished studying all the textbooks in his hands except for History of Magic and Magical Potions and Potions; It's not that I hate Potions.,I just don't like it that much and Potions is mostly practical.,And the various data on it made Brie understand that it wasn't something he could figure out after a month or two of hard work.,So I only previewed one and probably put it down.。
After that, Bridu went to the second-hand bookstore in Diagon Alley, where he could spend a day in a Sico, but he couldn't spoil the books that couldn't stand the toss.
The owner of the second-hand bookstore is not a kind old man, but he is quiet and wins Brie's favor, while the Blotted bookstore on the other side, although it is all new books, is unfortunately too noisy, and most of the new books cannot be read.
Only when the second-hand book finds a book that Brie particularly likes, Brie will write down the book list and go to the Blotte bookstore to buy it, and the price of the book makes Brie very grateful to Ms. Emmeline for her previous sponsorship of the textbooks, and Brie, who is not too shy in his pocket, is reluctant to buy too many books, which makes him cross out a lot of books on the book list, anyway, I heard that there are many books in Hogwarts that students can read.
……
1 September, 1991
Brie said: I hope that the accumulation before the start of school can give me some initiative in life.
The noise of cars came and went, and Brie dragged his small suitcase into King's Cross Station, where there were many wizards in fancy clothes and robes, but the Muggles turned a blind eye to them, and Brie understood after reading many books that it was the effect of the Ignore Charm.
Instead of wearing a robe, Brie wore a decent casual outfit, which Brie had bought in London with her own private money, and of course, the pounds that Betty had left for Brie at Gringotts at the time were also given to Brie by Emmeline, who was free to dispose of them at her discretion.
"Cool place."
Brie was in a good mood, but strangely he didn't see a detailed account of the nine-and-three-quarters platform in many books.
"Nine...... Ten, is it in the middle, is it some kind of magic? ”
Brie pursed his lips in thought, he remembered that there was a lockpicking charm that would open the door, maybe it could be used, but there were too many Muggles here to be discovered.
"Hey, freshman?"
"Huh?" Brie slowly turned around, and saw a sunny teenager smiling gently, and said to him, "You're a first-year Hogwarts student, right, I'm your senior." ”
Senior?
There was a middle-aged man standing next to the senior, who could tell that it was the senior's father, and he seemed very excited.
I should be polite, Brie thought.
"I'm a freshman, how do I get to the platform nine and three-quarters?"
Before the senior could speak, his father arrived: "My Cedric is really a friendly senior, hahaha." ”
With his father's words, the beard at the corner of his mouth quivered, and he looked very amused.
The young man named Cedric seemed to be ashamed of his father's words, but did not refute anything, but hurriedly said to Brie, "Come with me, and I will take you in." ”
"This is it, in the middle of platforms nine and ten, the third pillar, and just run in."
As soon as Cedric's words fell, he pushed his own cart and crashed into it, while Cedric's father on the side encouraged: "Quick, don't keep Cedric waiting, good little friend." ”
Brie pursed his lips, not reacting much to the word well-behaved, it was a disguise he had been using since childhood.
As he crossed the stone pillar, there was a sound of train steam in front of him, and a large, long, crimson steam train stopped next to the platform of nine and three-quarters, surrounded by many parents in robes talking to their children, while Cedric waited.
"Thank you Cedric, I hope it didn't delay you." Brie looked around curiously, and finally said to Cedric, "I'm Brie Ode, you can call me Brie." ”
Cedric saw this, stretched out his hand and said kindly, "Cedric Diggory, you can call me Cedric, Hufflepuff 3rd." ”
There are four houses at Hogwarts, and Hufflepuff is one of them, and according to Bry's Hogwarts: A History, it is a loyal, friendly house, representing badgers and earthy yellow.
Brie reached out and shook Cedric's hand and said, "Well, I know Hufflepuff, but I think I'll be a Ravenclaw." ”
Ravenclaw, a college where no one gets into trouble.
"Ravenclaw, it's also a good college, but I thought you would be a little badger, you smile very kindly, but most of the Orientals are Ravenclaw, very smart, I remember there was a Chinese girl in the second grade of Ravenclaw......"
Before Cedric could finish speaking, he heard his father, who had just crossed the stone pillar, say loudly, "Oh, Hufflepuff is the best, you should think more about Hufflepuff, Cedric is the first in his grade, he can help you with your studies there." ”
Cedric's father patted Cedric on the shoulder with great pride, and Cedric smiled apologetically at Brie, "Ravenclaw is also a good house. ”
Brie nodded, he couldn't say that the main reason why he wanted to go to Ravenclaw was that he liked the silence and the tower, he liked the feeling of the wind blowing in the heights, which made him very comfortable, like controlling the power of the wind, a king, unrestrained.
There is also a tower in Gryffindor House at Hogwarts, but Brie dislikes it as being too noisy, and it may even be noisy in the wind.
"Hey, Cedric!"
Someone was calling Cedric, apparently his friend, and Brie smiled and said, "See you at Hogwarts, then." ”
Cedric nodded gently, waved his hand at his friend, and then said: "The freshman workshop is in the back row, you can find a seat in advance, except for a few pure-blood family boxes in the front, you can choose at will." ”
"Okay, thank you Cedric."
Separated from Cedric, Brie walked to the back car, and after walking on the train with his small suitcase, he saw a touch of platinum gold into a very luxurious-looking car, the other party did not see Brie, but a girl who followed behind him glanced at Brie, and after seeing his old crossbody bag, he turned his head in disgust and walked straight into the car, and behind her was a dark-skinned boy, who looked very elegant, but Brie could feel that his arrogance was no worse than that of the young lady.
Two other tall boys were about to step into the carriage when they heard Draco Malfoy say, "You two go to another carriage, I don't want to hear the clattering sound of the inside all the way!" ”
"Oh, good, Draco."
The two stout boys looked dumbfounded, and after saying that, they walked to the next carriage, and it was obvious that they were also members of a pure-blood family.
"Is the preferential treatment of pure-blood families, really like the nobility of the Muggle world, with privileges."
Brie didn't think much about it, walked to the ordinary car behind the train, chose a car not far from the door, put down his luggage, took out the diary in his satchel and began to write about magic, and there was a book on Transfiguration next to him.
And Brie didn't sit down for long before he heard a commotion outside, it was two red-haired teenagers, looking very lively and very naughty, no need to guess, this must be a Gryffindor senior, and they seem to be shouting something, Harry Potter?
