Chapter 8: Parting and Meeting

On the sea, Ralph soared freely.

Through the Thunderbird's unique senses, he had sensed the direction of the nearest thunderstorm.

Dancing in the thunderclouds, three pairs of wings waving vigorously.

Thunderbolts struck Ralph, and lightning instantly filled his body.

The body fades under the lightning and gradually turns into a thunderbolt, swimming through the thunderclouds while attracting other thunderbolts around it.

Then, a huge ball of lightning appeared in the thundercloud, constantly absorbing the electric ions around it.

β€œpong~”

A huge roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The dim thunderclouds were completely covered with light blue lightning, and lightning slapped on the surface of the water, and a large number of fish swung on the surface of the water with white bellies, twitching from time to time, and gradually becoming ripe under the thunder and lightning.

......

"Lord Voldemort, Fenrir Greyback has failed and will face trial."

"Rubbish! Can it be fished out? We need to unite all the forces that can be united, and the future must belong to us! ”

"We'll try."

"Pureblood supremacy!"

"Pureblood supremacy!" *n

......

September 1, 1973.

On the first day of school at Hogwarts, Ralph took his suitcase and followed Aberforth to Hogsmeade Station under the gaze of everyone, where they boarded the train and headed to King's Cross Station, where they transferred to the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts.

Ralph was very unhappy about this, why couldn't the children of Hogsmeade enter directly through the gates of Hogwarts, how fast.

For Hogsmeade villagers, it's a minute or two walk, and even faster if you ride a broomstick.

"Aberforth, I've said it all, you don't have to come along." Sitting in the carriage, Ralph said to Aberforth, who was seated opposite, "I know London quite well. ”

"Isn't it good for someone to send you?" Aberforth said, "You think I think I'm free in the village right now." ”

"As soon as you show up, don't they all know who I am? Oh my God, unimaginable! Ralph can already imagine himself in the spotlight.

"You can't blame me for this, whoever goes with you in the village is the same." Aberforth spread his hands with a look that had nothing to do with me.

"I can do it alone." Ralph whispered.

"You can try." Aberforth heard this, and raised his eyebrows.

"Ugh." Ralph sighed and looked out the window at the scenery, the vast world, which was his favorite.

"Hmph."

Aberforth opened Ralph's suitcase and checked that he had everything in his belt.

Aberforth was not surprised by the storage space that did not fit the suitcase, and with the unanimous consent of the villagers, the suitcase was subjected to the Traceless Stretching and Levitation Charms, and it is worth mentioning that it was a gift from Devis and Bans to Ralph.

"Textbooks, well, all of them. Crucibles and a range of gadgets......"

"Huh! Lady Padiv gave you a gown? Have you tried it? Aberforth exclaimed.

"Tried." Ralph said lightly.

"Ms. Rosmerta's pastries, the Froomes' homemade sweets, huh? How did Jokowi give you these things, don't get caught when you use them......"

After sorting out the boxes, Aberforth placed the school robe in the most prominent place in the box.

"Aberforth, what the hell is written on that piece of paper you gave me, so mysterious?" Seeing him fiddle with the box, Ralph asked.

"You'll know tonight, don't unlock it in advance, it'll self-destruct, I'm sure you'll love the secrets inside." Aberforth said confidently and mysteriously.

"Okay." Ralph gave him a blank look.

Soon, the train arrived.

Aberforth and Ralph identify the platforms of the various wizarding trains, including transnational trains, but due to the current situation in the United Kingdom, other countries have unilaterally restricted the entry of the British wizarding trains.

Trains to Hogwarts are at platform 9 3/4.

Ralph followed Aberforth briskly into the wall between platforms 9 and 10.

As far as the eye can see, it is a crimson steam locomotive, which is parked next to the platform. The sign on the train reads: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.

Ralph looked back and saw that what had been the partition wall had become a wrought-iron archway with the words: Platform 9 and 3/4.

"Alright, I'll send you here, let's go in before they find out." Aberforth smiled at Ralph and winked.

Ralph looked at Aberforth for a moment before he said, "Okay, goodbye on holiday." ”

Taking the suitcase, Ralph slipped through the gap in the crowd and entered the train, turning back to see Aberforth in the distance, waving at him, his eyes glinting softly.

Ralph waved at him, Aberforth gave him a smile, lowered his hand, and the apparition moved away.

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Ralph walked towards the rear of the car.

Finding a car in the back, Ralph went in and sat down, placing the box on the window side and pressing it against himself.

Outside the window, the train hadn't started yet, and there was nothing to see, so Ralph took out the "Easy Introduction to Ancient Runes" and began to read.

As time went on, Ralph's carriage gradually became visited by young wizards.

The sliding door of the box opened, and a little wizard with blond hair walked in and asked:

"Hello, is there anyone here?"

"Except for me and you, there should be none." Ralph said.

"Oh, I'm sorry." The little blonde wizard realized something.

"It's okay, just find a seat and sit down, my name is Ralph Alvey, you can call me Ralph." Ralph said.

"Merlin, you're Ralph! I'm Hansen Abbot, just call me Hansen. Hansen scratched his head, looking at Ralph from time to time.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." The little wizard was a little shy, "Are you really living alone?" ”

"Yes, but now I have a group of friendly neighbors with me."

"How is it to live alone, isn't it very comfortable?"

"Comfort is for sure." "But freedom comes at a price, you have to learn to make your own money, to cook, to find a place to live." ”

Ralph paused, and described his "experience" a little more tragically, what to sleep in a cave with magical beasts, to grab food with a homeless man, etc., which stunned Hansen for a moment.

Just as Ralph was getting into the heat of speaking, two more young wizards came.

"Hello, is this place full?" One of the little brown-haired wizards asked, his companion being black-haired.

"No, it's exactly two places away, come in." Hansen responded positively, "I'm Hansen Abbott and he's Ralph Alvi. ”

"Okay, thanks, I'm Roque Brown and he's Claude Taylor." The brown-haired wizard introduced.

After talking for a while, everyone understood the basic situation of the rest of the people.

Roque and Claude grew up in the Muggle community and were friends, the difference is that Roque's mother was a witch, while Claude's parents were ordinary people.

Hansen, the second son of the Abbott family, has a detached personality and is expected to go to Gryffindor, even though the family has always been a loyal member of Hufflepuff.

Ralph, a well-known poor "prodigal son" in the English wizarding world, survived on his own, wandering around and living a precarious life before settling in Hogsmeade. These are all from Hansen.

After Ralph had briefly introduced himself, Hansen began to tell the story he had heard from his mother and just Ralph.

The story gradually goes out of the way, and Roque and Claude look at Ralph with more sympathy and pity.

When Ralph says that he is not so miserable, all three of them look at him with "I understand" expressions, their eyes full of pity.
