Chapter 7 Hogwarts Express (Part 1)

According to the tradition of Hogwarts, every student, whether he is a Muggle or a pure-blood wizard, must take the train to the school, but wizards living in the wizarding world will apparate directly to the platform. The wizards of the world struggled through King's Cross Station to the platform.

The seniors will go to the carriages of each college, and only the freshmen will sit next to each other regardless of the college. Pomona saw Bella Black again when passing the Slytherin carriage. Although the last time we met was half a month ago, she still lowered her head when passing by her, borrowing the steam train's Yan covered her figure, and pushed her stroller to the new car.

The shopping list sent from Hogwarts stated that she would bring a pet, so when she walked into the carriage, cats of various colors and breeds were walking around under people’s feet, and many of them were allergic to cats. person keeps sneezing. The first few compartments of the carriage were already full of students. These people seemed to know each other, and they were constantly throwing and picking things up for fun. She had to squeeze through the crowd and found an empty compartment near the rear of the car as a compartment. After the door closed, she finally got a moment of peace.

"Severus, come here, there's still space here!" Not long after it was cleared, she heard someone shouting, she followed the voice, and it turned out to be Lily Evans who she met in Diagon Alley last time , accompanied by her yell, and a few seconds later the sullen, greasy-haired Snape appeared, and she felt like she was suffocating as Pomona's eyes swept over his lifeless black eyes. But he obviously didn't recognize her, he opened his mouth and said slowly, "Is anyone sitting here?"

"No...nobody." Pomona stammered, and then she remembered that she used magic when she went out today, and no one could see her Veela except her hair Bloodline, her wand seems to have character, no matter how she tries to cover up her hair to make it look less elegant, the core of the wand is Veela hair.

"Go in, Lily." Snape said, and after they were all seated, Snape closed the door of the box, and the other people looking for seats turned and left after seeing what was going on inside, and it was finally completely quiet.

"Hi, I'm Lily Evans, and you are..." Lily, who was sitting opposite her, stretched out her hand first.

"Pomona Martin." She reached out and shook Lily back.

"Pomona?" Lily exclaimed.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" She deliberately played dumb, because Snape's face became even more gloomy the moment he heard the name.

"Nothing." Lily stuck out her tongue. "It's just that you have the same name as a friend I know."

Pomona didn't think that a person who only met once could be called a friend. She sneaked another glance at Snape. He obviously had no intention of introducing himself and shaking hands. The sun dimmed as he passed by him.

"His name is Severus Snape."

"Hello." Pomona greeted in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, but Snape crossed his arms and looked at her warily.

"He's just like that, he doesn't like to talk, you don't mind." Lily was so happy that her eyes turned into two crescents, "Why are you alone?"

"My relative is in the front car. He is in fifth grade this year."

"Oh, so which college is he in?"

"Hufflepuff."

A "terrible" expression flashed across Lily's face.

Pomona looked at Snape, with a sneering smile on his face, it was obvious that he too had a prejudice against Hufflepuff, and he had instilled this prejudice in Lily.

"The food at the welcome party is the traditional dish provided by Hufflepuff. You will be pleasantly surprised then."

"Surprised, is this what you expect from Hogwarts?"

As soon as Snape opened his mouth, people felt depressed. What's wrong with liking food?

"You can't live without food, even dementors need food."

"Dementor?" Lily heard a new term.

"A horrible magical creature that sucks all happiness and hope out of you. That's their food."

"How can there be such terrible creatures? Why not destroy them?"

"There must be a reason for existence. Hogwarts is the safest place. As long as they stay in the school, they dare not attack anyone."

"You seem to like to scare people." Snape said triumphantly with an expression of "I know everything about you."

"If you don't talk, I will be very grateful to you." Pomona said angrily. She has never met such an annoying person since she grew up. He is like a dementor, which makes people feel uncomfortable. to the slightest enthusiasm.

"I dare say, I must be the worst student in the class." Lily said worriedly, "I don't know a lot of things you said."

"No, Lily, there are many students from Muggle families, as long as you work hard, you can learn faster than those from pure-blood families." Pomona comforted her, but Snape seemed unaware of his companion's worries The same did not say a word.

While they were talking, the train started, and with the rumble of the engine, the train drove out of London and drove along the fields full of cattle and sheep, and the noisy and noisy carriages gradually became quiet.

Facing two people with completely different personalities, Pomona felt at a loss and didn't know what to talk about. However, Lily Evans and Severus Snape took out their textbooks as if they had a good understanding, and began to read quietly.

Yes, Pomona met a good student who was said to be able to preview textbooks. She never thought of bringing a book to pass the time on the express. It seemed that she had nothing else to do except sleep.

The train departed at eleven o'clock, and when it was about half past twelve, there was a loud noise in the aisle. A thin, old-looking woman with silver hair was holding a cigarette, and pushed open the compartment door to ask. , asked loudly, "Do you want to buy something to eat?"

"No, thank you." Snape said blankly as he was the closest to the door.

"Are you sure? There are still seven hours to school."

"My mother said don't buy anything sold by suspicious looking people." Snape's tone became more stern.

Lily obviously wanted to say something, and she was fidgeting anxiously. Pomona understood her mood, because she heard Lily's stomach screaming.

"No, we brought our own food." Pomona took out a picnic basket, and before the old woman could say anything, Snape slammed the door shut.

Then, he continued to bury his head in the book as if nothing had happened. Pomona and Lily looked at each other at the same time, and it happened that Lily's stomach started growling again.

"I'm so sorry, we left in a hurry this morning, and I didn't have anything to eat."

"Don't worry, I made a lot of food, enough for us to eat together." She said as she opened the magic picnic basket, and put roast chicken, sandwiches, tiramisu, orange juice and salad on the empty seat next to it.

"Wow, how can this basket hold so many things?" Lily was stunned looking at the delicious food on the seat.

"This is magic, isn't it amazing?" Pomona said triumphantly, then turned to look at Snape. "Do you want to join us? I made it for four."

Snape turned around and continued reading with his back to them.

"Severus!" Lily was angry, but Snape remained unmoved.

wack.

Pomona didn't know why this man didn't like accepting other people's favors so much, but she didn't bother to talk to him. Compared with Lily Evans, she liked Lily Evans better, she was really a good girl.
