Chapter 11: Departure, Hogwarts
A Victorian-fashioned crimson steam locomotive is parked next to a platform packed with passengers.
The sign on the train reads: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.
Hermione and the Grangers looked back to see that the place where the ticket gate had been turned out to be a wrought iron archway with the words Platform Nine and Three-Quarters written on it.
The smoke of the steam locomotive swirled over the chattering crowd, and cats of all colors wore it under people's feet.
Seeing the cat, Hermione was immediately startled, and hurriedly looked around, looking for Xiao Yiren's figure.
"Waite? Waiter? β
"Meow~"
Without waiting for Hermione to shout a few more times, a slightly lazy cat meow came into Hermione's ears.
looked down and found that Xiao Yiren didn't know when, he had come to her feet, leaning on her skirt leisurely, licking his paws.
Seeing this, Hermione was very happy to pick up Xiao Yiren from the ground, rubbed the top of Xiao Yiren's head with a red fluttering little face, and said very happily:
"Thanks to you this time. Wai Tee ......"
"But you can't run around in the future......"
It caused Xiao Yiren to roll his eyes for a while.
"If you weren't too grinding......"
β¦β¦
The rest of the matter is pretty simple,
With the help of the Grangers, Hermione quickly chose an empty box, put her luggage away, and said goodbye to the Grangers.
When Hermione sat down completely in the carriage, she looked out the window and saw that Mr. and Mrs. Granger were both drowning in the crowd.
Sixteen or seven red-haired people came into view, and although they had different faces except for two identical-looking twins, Hermione could tell by just looking at the hairstyles that they should be family.
One of them was supposed to be twins, and one was short and fat, and the role of the lady was wiping the nose of her youngest child.
A red-haired young man wearing a black Hogwarts robe with a silver letter P pinned to his chest was talking to them......
The whistle sounded, and three red-haired teenagers scrambled to climb onto the train, and they leaned out of the window to kiss their mother goodbye, and the little girl their mother was holding began to cry again.
The train started, and Hermione saw through the transparent window the children's mothers waving, their little sister crying and running after the train until the train sped up and she was left behind, waving to them.
As the train started and the crowd on the platform thinned out, Hermione didn't find her mother, only her father standing alone on the platform, her father who used to look tall and majestic looked so weak at this moment, she had never seen such a lonely and powerless father.
Hermione's eyes were hot, and a tear trickled down her eye, but before it could slash across her cheek, it was sucked away by a tissue.
Hermione looked down and saw a small furry paw scratching at her cheek.
Under her hairy paws pressed a baby's tissue, and her tears were sucked away by this tissue.
"Meow~ (Say hello to your dad)"
Looking at Hermione, who was looking at him with tears in his eyes, Xiao Yiren's dark blue eyes were slightly, and his empty little paw pointed in the direction of Mr. Granger outside the window, saying, aren't you going to say hello?
Looking in the direction pointed by Xiao Yiren's little paws, Hermione came to her senses, and hurriedly put down Xiao Yiren, who had climbed onto her shoulder at some point, opened the window, leaned out, and waved goodbye to Mr. Granger.
Mr. Granger, who was watching her, saw her at once, and waved goodbye to her until the train turned a corner and the two sides could not see each other.
Seeing that her father's figure was completely blocked by the wall, Hermione slowly sat back in her seat.
Holding Xiao Yiren tightly in his arms again, Hermione's small chin rested on the top of Xiao Yiren's head, her eyes looked at the scenery outside the window, her small mouth hooked a slight arc, and she opened her mouth gently, and a sound as thin as a mosquito and fly came out.
"Thank you, ...... Wait"
β¦β¦
The train swayed and swayed, and outside the window it was no longer the cityscape of London, but a field and meadow.
At this time, Hermione's mood had basically recovered, and she was looking at the book there alone, and she looked quite serious like that.
And Xiao Yiren was lying on the seat opposite Hermione, quietly closing his eyes, if he didn't open his eyes, it was estimated that everyone would think he was asleep.
At this time, the time was about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and with a loud noise, an old woman with a smile pushed open the door of the compartment where Hermione was, looked at the people and cats in the carriage, and asked in a very calm tone:
"Honey, would you like to buy something to eat?"
It's been an hour since the train departed, and breakfast seemed like a long time ago.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't need it, my mother has prepared a bento for me."
Although she was interrupted from reading, Hermione still raised her head quite politely, looked directly into the old woman's eyes, and politely refused the old woman's invitation.
And Xiao Yiren also opened his eyes slightly when he heard the movement, and closed his eyes again when he found that he was just buying small snacks.
Mao Yiren: "... (__)γ|sigh ~ boring long-distance train ......"
Xiao Alien: "(; 'O Μ)oOh? Boring, what do you say? β
Mao Yiren: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's my mouth." (-ΞΉ_-)β
Xiao Taiwolf: "What's the skin, @η«ε₯δ»θ―θ―΄θͺε·±ηδΊΊη©ι’ζΏδ½ ηδΊε?" What is the situation? β_ββ
Mao Yiren: "Eh, if you don't say I really forgot, wait, I'll take a look at ......"
Xiao Alien: "......"
Xiao Taiwolf: "......"
Xiao Alien: "β| Μ|_So Xiao Yiren is lacking in heart, right?" Doubting life jpg"
Xiao Taiwolf: "-.-"
Looking at the two people who were still brushing treasures in the chat group, Xiao Yiren just rolled his eyes, ignored them, and directly clicked on the red envelope page and clicked on the inconspicuous icon.
