Chapter 9 Hogwarts Express
In the British and magical world, September 11st is a very important date, especially for wizards who are over [-] years old but have not yet graduated.
This is the day Hogwarts begins.
The little wizard who has just turned 11 looks forward to it day and night, hoping that this day will come soon.
But wizards aged 17 to [-] don't necessarily think so, because the start of school means that the happy summer life is officially over, and they also have to face the homework that has been forgotten for a summer.
This is not good news.
This is especially evident with Kyle and the Weasley twins.
In the open space in front of the Burrow, Kyle standing at the front was very excited, while Fred and George behind him were full of nervousness, and they would get together and whisper together from time to time, as if they were It's like going to Hogwarts for the first time.
Yes, Kyle is here too.
Originally, Chris planned to take him directly to apparate there, but just before he set off, he met Mrs. Weasley who came to knock on the door.
Mrs. Weasley seemed to have guessed that he was going to do this a long time ago. The first thing she said when she saw Chris was that there were too many Muggles at King's Cross Station, and it would be easy to be seen with Apparition, which was too unsafe. Let Kyle go with them anyway.
Chris wanted to say something more, but seeing Mrs. Weasley's resolute attitude, he could only swallow those words again and nodded in agreement.
On the other hand, Kyle rubbed his forehead helplessly.
He wanted to tell Mrs. Weasley that in the eyes of Muggles, nine people getting out of a Ford was more terrifying than two people suddenly appearing in front of them.
After all, there is no Ganges, and Ford is not a sacred car with a diamond logo, you can sit as much as you want.
But it's a pity that he was only 11 years old, and he was so soft-spoken that he was ignored directly.
Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Weasley suddenly came to Kyle and asked with concern: "Honey, are you all packed?"
"Of course." Back to his senses, Kyle kicked a big box next to his feet and said, "I checked it three times before going out, and there is nothing missing."
"That's good." Mrs. Weasley nodded with a smile.
While speaking, Mr. Weasley also parked in front of everyone in an old-fashioned old car.
This is the means of transportation for their trip, a nine-handed Ford that I don't know where to buy, but Mr. Weasley likes it very much, it is very precious.
"What are you waiting for, get in the car."
At the urging of Mr. Weasley, Chris got into the car first.
After seeing this scene, Kyle also knew that it was too late for him to say anything, so he had no choice but to follow up, and then the Weasleys.
The traceless expansion spell was cast on the inside of the car, even if there were nine people and a lot of luggage, it didn't feel crowded at all.
Mr. Weasley's driving skills are very good. Kyle didn't feel any obvious bumps along the way, nor did he brake suddenly or nod three times at the start, which was much better than a certain bus.
At around ten o'clock, they arrived at King's Cross Station on time.
Fortunately, what Kyle expected didn't happen, or the people around didn't care about an old Ford car at all, and the group arrived at the platform between the ninth and tenth platforms smoothly. in front of a pillar.
After arriving here, basically there is no need to worry about being discovered by Muggles.
There is a Muggle Repelling Curse nearby, and ordinary people will subconsciously ignore everything that happens here. Even if there are occasional special circumstances, the nearby Ministry of Magic members will deal with them as soon as possible. It is very safe.
Everyone lined up skillfully, and under Mrs. Weasley's command, they passed through the pillars in front of them one after another and came to the famous platform 9.
It's much more lively here than outside.
A crimson steam train was parked next to the platform, and a sign on it read: Hogwarts Express.
"It seems that I am not late." A gentle voice came from behind Kyle.
Hearing this familiar voice, Kyle turned his head suddenly, and saw Diana looking at him with a smile.
"Mom?" Kyle said in surprise, "Didn't you have a mission before..."
"Of course it's done." Diana squatted down and straightened Kyle's clothes: "Today is your first time going to school. I don't want to miss such an important day."
"That's good." Kyle was also very happy.
It would be a pity if Chris was the only one to send him to Hogwarts.
Diana said a few more words to Kyle, and did not put him on the train until it was about to leave, and finally said: "I think Chris should have told you about the general situation of Hogwarts. Well, I won't repeat it, but there is one thing I don't think he said."
Diana stared at Kyle with her deep blue eyes, and said seriously: "Honey, my father and I have both graduated for a long time, and we don't want to recall our college life, so please don't make us accept it." Letters from any professor, including Dumbledore, is that all right?"
"Don't worry, Mom." Kyle smiled and said, "I won't violate the school rules, they have no reason to send letters home."
"Of course, dear." Diana kissed Kyle on the cheek and watched him get on the train: "Also, don't forget to tell us the result of the sorting."
"I will." Kyle nodded, then turned and boarded the train.
A few minutes later, as the train slowly left the platform, Diana looked away.
Not far behind her, Chris also just finished talking with a middle-aged man, and came to Diana in two or three steps.
"Mr Diggory showing off his son again?" Diana laughed.
Apparently, she also knew the person who spoke to Chris.
Amos Diggory, like Chris, works in the Department of Magical Creatures Regulation and Control at the Ministry of Magic, and also has a child who goes to school at Hogwarts.But a year older than Kyle, and in the same grade as the Weasley twins.
But unlike the mischievous twins, that child is excellent in every aspect, similar to that of Passy back then.
Therefore, during this year, Diggory, a showman, would praise his son almost every time he talked to people.
It's fine once or twice, and people will chime in and boast a few words, but he can't help him keep saying, who can bear it.
So Digory gradually became one of the most unpopular members of the Ministry of Magic, especially those parents whose children were studying at Hogwarts but with average grades, and they would never meet him unless necessary.
Even if they meet by chance, they pass by with their heads down in a hurry, and they don't talk to each other if they can.
If you really can't avoid it, for example, when you meet in the elevator, or a colleague like Chris who is in the same department as him, you will find an excuse to leave immediately after a few words of greeting, and you will never give him a chance to change the topic.
But this time, Chris obviously couldn't escape.
"Cedric is really good."
Chris smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, your mission has really been completed?"
Although he didn't know the specific situation of the Department of Mysteries, he also knew that the missions that could appear there were at least monthly, and it was almost impossible for such a situation to be completed in two days.
"Of course not." Diana narrowed her eyes and said, "But my colleagues are very talkative, they just ask for a little leave, they won't say anything."
