Chapter 31: The Magic Beetle
"You're saying you've been accepted into Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry, and you need to get to King's Cross Station to catch the train to the school?"
"Yes, I know it sounds weird, but I did get accepted into a magic school. It's really incredible, but I'm not crazy......"
Harry tried to explain to Luo Cheng what had happened to him during this time. The little guy with the glasses stumbled to explain the wizarding world, the wizards, and Hogwarts, and Luo Cheng was sure that he must not have read the History of Magic carefully, or he would not have made so many common-sense mistakes in the narrative.
Luo Cheng listened to Harry Potter's explanation with a smile.
"Harry, don't explain to me so much, I'm not a stubborn person like your aunt and uncle. Actually, I'm also a wizard and studied at Hogwarts. ”
"Huh?"
Harry Potter looked at the big boy in front of him in amazement, his heart already full of lying grass.
Luo Cheng thought that Harry Potter didn't believe it, so he took out his wand and opened his eyes with a fire charm.
Harry, who had almost burned his hair, was not angry.
"And why are you?"
"Wizards can't expose the wizarding world to Muggles. Muggles are non-magical humans, ordinary people like your aunt and uncle. ”
"But they already know."
"Because they're your guardians, they're your relatives, so it's okay."
"Are there so many wizards?"
Harry muttered that he really didn't expect the new neighbor he casually asked for help was a wizard.
"Not strictly speaking."
Luo Cheng blinked, "At least I'm the only wizard in these neighborhoods." ”
"So I'm the right person?"
"Of course, go back and pack your things, and come to my door tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning to find me."
"But I should take the train from platform 93/4 at eleven o'clock, it's a long time to get from here to King's Cross station."
"Don't forget that I'm a wizard~"
Luo Cheng said in a brisk tone.
The next day, Harry woke up at five in the morning. He was so excited and nervous that he couldn't sleep anymore. He got out of bed and put on his jeans, because he didn't want to wear a wizard's robe into the train station - he was ready to get in the train and change again. He checked the Hogwarts shopping list again to see if everything he needed was ready, and then Hedwig was in a cage, and paced around the room, waiting for the Dursleys to get up. Two hours later, the aunt and uncle left with Dudley, and they were going to the hospital to cut off Dudley's tail.
Harry restlessly waited until ten o'clock in the morning, when he couldn't sit still, dragged the suitcase and Hedwig's cage to 8 Privet Road.
A lemon-yellow Beetle sedan was parked there, and Luo Cheng was wiping the glass.
"Don't worry Harry, we still have time."
"But it's too far from King's Cross Station."
Luo Cheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, since you're in such a hurry, let's leave earlier."
Luo Cheng threw away the rag that wiped the glass of the car, and with a touch of his wand, the trunk of the Beetle's car was opened, and Harry was surprised to find that the trunk of the car was much larger than it looked from the outside, and his own box and Hedwig's cage only took up a small corner when they were put inside.
"It's a Traceless Stretch Charm, Harry, it's a pretty advanced spell that most wizards don't use well until they die."
Luo Cheng and Harry got into the car, and then Luo Cheng used his wand to start the car. Immediately after that, Luo Cheng pressed a small silver button on the dashboard. Their cars are gone – and so are the two of them.
Harry could feel his seat vibrate, he could hear the engine, he could feel his hands on his knees, his glasses on the bridge of his nose, he could see everything. But all he had left was a pair of eyes, a few feet above the ground, floating on the privet road.
"Take off."
Luo Cheng's voice sounded to his right. The ground on both sides and neat buildings sank down, and for a moment they were out of sight. The car rose higher and higher, and in a matter of seconds, the entire city of London was visible beneath them.
Harry finally understood why Luo Cheng was sure that he would be able to get to King's Cross Station soon, because he had a flying car.
"It's a pretty good car, I just got it not long ago, it cost me a lot of favors and gold Galleons, and Arthur Weasley of the Division for the Prohibition of Muggle Items got it for me personally, I have to say that he has a talent for Muggle things modification! But you have to keep it a secret for me, this kind of car is illegal without reporting! ”
