MTL - Study Days at Hogwarts-Chapter 13 platform nine and three quarters

  Chapter 13 Platform Nine and Three-quarters

  On September 1st, Albert woke up early, got up from the bed, got dressed, and moved his body a little to wake himself up completely.

   Today, I am finally going to Hogwarts, so I can't help being a little excited.

   After washing up, Albert began to check his luggage.

"Are you awake? Then go downstairs to eat." Daisy, wearing an apron, opened the door and entered the room, and said to Albert who was checking the luggage, "By the way, put your robe and pointed hat on the top of the luggage. It’s easy to find when changing clothes in the car.”

   "Albert, are you really not taking Tom to school?" Nia in pajamas hurried into the room holding the shorthair cat.

   "Let Tom stay with you." Albert said.

   "Where's Shera?" Nia asked again.

"It will fly to Hogwarts to find me by itself. I asked. There is an owl shack over the school, and it will live there." Albert didn't want to take an owl to King's Cross Station. attracted the attention of many people.

  Breakfast was as simple as ever, and Daisy also prepared him a ham sandwich and a can of drink for him to eat when he was hungry.

Naturally, food was sold on the train, and Daisy was not worried that Albert would be hungry. Herb gave him all the remaining Galleons, which was a considerable amount. They were not worried about Albert spending money randomly, because there was no similar precedent .

   Albert released the floating spell on the heavy suitcase and carried it into the car with ease.

   "Have you got a camera?" Herb asked. "The one your grandfather Luke bought you?"

   "Take it, I write letters to my family every week, and send back photos by the way." Albert said that he didn't have to forget this, he would take pictures of some things in Hogwarts and share them with his family.

   "That's good." Herb nodded and said, "Let's go."

  The family arrived at King's Cross station before ten o'clock, and Herb helped Albert put the suitcase on the trolley.

  Albert pushed his luggage to the edge of the gambling wall between platforms 9 and 10. He made a quiet gesture and casually reached into the wall, and he was able to pass through.

   Albert heaved a sigh of relief, returned to Herb's side and said, "OK, then I'll go in by myself."

   "Remember to write letters," Herb said, "and photos."

   "I know." Albert looked at his sister. "Nia?"

   "How cunning, I want to go too." Nia reached out and gave Albert a hug.

   "Don't make trouble at home, don't cause trouble for everyone." Albert instructed.

   "I won't." Nia turned her head away, pretending to be very angry.

   "Son, see you during the Christmas holiday." Daisy gave Albert a hug before parting, kissed him on the cheek and said, "When the time comes, I will take you to go skiing."

   "I know, see you during the Christmas holidays." Albert pushed the car, looked around and made sure no one was there, then trotted towards the gambling wall,

   "Disappeared." Nia pointed to the place where Albert disappeared.

   "Magic is always so amazing, let's go back." Herb put his arms around his wife and daughter and said, "Don't worry, Albert will take care of himself."

  On the other side of the brick wall, Albert found himself at another station. A crimson steam locomotive was parked beside the platform. The sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express.

  There were not many passengers on the platform. The train departed at eleven o'clock, and it was less than ten o'clock, so he arrived an hour earlier.

  After entering the platform, new prompts will appear on the panel. If you find the nine and three-quarters platform, you will get 100 experience rewards.

  Exploring the map also has experience, but very little. Albert didn't pay much attention to it. He seemed to think of something, and quickly moved away from the entrance to avoid being hit by people behind him.

  The place where the ticket gate used to be is now an archway, and there is still a signboard on it: Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

   Sure enough, it was similar to what was described in the book.

   In other words, this is the first time Albert has taken this kind of old-fashioned train, and it is really an antique.

   Strolling on the station with luggage, I found an empty compartment at random, used the floating spell to move the suitcase in, found a place to put it, and closed the door. Then, start changing yourself into wizard robes.

  Not long after Albert opened the window, Shera flew over and landed on the table. It seemed that it was not planning to fly to Hogwarts by itself, but was planning to hitch a ride.

   "What a smart little guy." Albert touched Xue Xiao's head, took out owl nuts from the box, and poured some for Xue Xiao.

   "By the way, take a picture, I almost forgot about it." Albert took the camera back to the platform and took some close-up photos of the Hogwarts Express.

  Unfortunately, his photography skills are really not very good, and the photos he took can only be regarded as mediocre.

   Fortunately, Luke probably expected this situation and prepared a lot of negatives for him.

   "This one is not bad." Albert picked out a photo with a train head, nodded in satisfaction, and returned to his compartment.

  He sat down by the window, half-covered looking at the platform. After a while, the number of passengers on the platform gradually increased, and the sky actually started to rain lightly.

   "I always feel that every time I go to Hogwarts, it will rain." Albert couldn't help complaining, feeling that he was right to come early.

  The wizards on the platform, all holding umbrellas, said goodbye to their families in a hurry under the rain, looking a little embarrassed.

   I don’t know, how many acquaintances can I meet?

   Albert didn't expect to meet the protagonist now, he entered Hogwarts earlier than Harry Potter, and he should be in the same class as the Weasley brothers and Cedric Diggory.

   Fortunately, he wasn't in the same class as the Savior, Albert didn't want to have too much to do with Potter at all.

   After all, that is the savior, who is born with the halo of pig feet and the halo of death. If ordinary people are affected, if they do not have the halo of luck to protect their bodies, they may be cold. Cedric Diggory is an example.

  It was raining harder and harder outside, and Albert narrowed the gap of the window a little. After she was full, she began to take a nap. After all, owls are nocturnal birds.

  Take out a chocolate candy from his pocket, open the bag and put it in his mouth. Listening to the sound of rain outside, Albert is in a good mood.

  As long as he doesn't get caught in the rain, he doesn't hate rain.

   The corridor of the carriage gradually became lively, but Albert closed the door of the compartment, and the noise in the corridor did not affect him too much.

  Open "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense", read slowly, and use reading to pass the trivial time. Albert has read this book more than once, and he has tried some of the spells on it.

  In fact, during the entire summer vacation, Albert tried all the other magics he knew, except the Unforgivable Curse, even the Patronus Charm, but of course it failed.

   "Hurry up, the train is leaving."

  On the platform, a group of people attracted Albert's attention. The family was saying goodbye in a hurry, including a pair of red-haired twin brothers.

   "Is this the Weasleys?" Albert looked at the group of celebrities, feeling quite happy. Especially Ron Weasley, who still looks a little silly now. There was a girl next to Ron, probably Ginny, who followed Mrs. Weasley closely, and seemed to be sad not to be able to go to Hogwarts.

  Albert compared Ginny with his younger sister, um, as expected, his younger sister is cuter.

  The Weasleys looked a bit in a hurry, and they were probably delayed before coming to the station.

   Albert looked away, because someone was knocking on the door.

   A black boy stood outside the compartment door.
