Chapter 50: First Day at Hogwarts

September 1991, 9, today is the first day of school at Hogwarts. Yang Tian packed all his prepared luggage into his white jade ring named Qiankun early in the morning.

Speaking of birthday gifts from grandpa, none of them are ordinary. This white jade ring is a storage tool that can hold ten cubic items. Although the space is not very large, it is small. With this ring, Yang Tian can travel very conveniently.

After thinking about it, Yang Tian threw the suitcase into the ring again. Yang Tian was not at ease leaving such an important thing in Foley Manor.

After everything was ready, Yang Tian and his family arrived at King's Cross Station in the family's Nighthorse carriage.

After passing Platform 9, Yang Tian suddenly saw a black and red steam locomotive parked beside the platform. The sign on the platform clearly read: Hogwarts Express, o'clock.

The station was already bustling with people at this time. The thick smoke from the steam locomotive swirled above the noisy crowd. People wearing different styles of clothes gathered in twos and threes, either saying goodbye to each other or chatting animatedly.

The arrival of Yang Tian's family immediately attracted the attention of most people at the station.

The reason was simple, simply because among the group of people, there was a little wizard who was walking on clouds and floating with his family.

"Wow, that's cool." The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim.

There were also a few brave kids who looked eager to come forward and strike up a conversation.

At this moment, an excited shout came from not far away: "Yang Tian, ​​here."

Yang Tian looked in the direction of the voice and saw Neville waving his hands happily and running towards Yang Tian. Yang Tian hurried to meet him.

The two friends immediately started chatting together as if no one was around.

The two were chatting happily, but Yang Tian suddenly felt a pair of meaningful eyes staring at him without blinking.

He looked up and saw a green robe, a fox fur scarf, a tall hat with an eagle specimen, and a big red handbag! Who else could it be but Neville's grandmother, Augusta Longbottom?

Yang Tian was helpless. How did he offend her? Why did she treat him so strangely every time?

However, he did not neglect it at all, and hurriedly greeted respectfully: "Hello, Mrs. Longbottom!"

Mrs. Longbottom simply nodded slightly and said nothing more.

But this scene made Yang Tian's family members who were walking slowly behind unhappy. Especially grandma Rosalind, she quickly walked to the three people and said bluntly: "Oh, Mrs. Longbottom is really different now. I guess she doesn't even recognize me, a retired senior sister, right?"

Mrs. Longbottom's expression froze, and she smiled bitterly with a hint of embarrassment, "What are you talking about, Senior? We have been best friends since our school days, and my family has always been taken care of by you. How could I not recognize you?"

After a pause, he pulled Rosalind aside and whispered, "Maybe I was in a bad mood because I took Neville to see his parents recently. I hope you can forgive me for my impoliteness." After saying that, there was endless sadness in his eyes.

Mrs. Longbottom's reaction made Rosalind feel distressed. She quickly pulled Mrs. Longbottom aside and whispered to comfort her...

Yang Tian felt even more confused. As the person involved, how could he not tell whether the vague hostility was intentional or unintentional?

But he didn't say anything more. There was a long time to go and he would figure out the reason later.

Seemingly affected by the incident just now, or perhaps wanting to give the two children more time to spend together, Mr. Barnett looked at his watch and said, "Okay, kids, it's almost time, you should get in the car."

Yang Tian suddenly felt his heart tremble. In this life, this is the first time he has traveled far away from home? His inexplicable eyes swept across the faces of each of his relatives, as if he wanted to bury this moment deep in his heart...

Soon, the two little ones said goodbye to everyone and boarded the train one after another.

The two men arrived neither too early nor too late, and there were still several empty carriages on the train.

Yang Tian let Neville make the decision, and after randomly picking a carriage to sit down, the two began to chat with each other.

Yang Tian had already made up his mind that Neville must make all the decisions today. The original book mentioned that Hermione helped Neville find the toad step by step, so it was very likely that the two of them had sat in the same carriage.

But it didn't matter. Even if his inference was wrong and Hermione didn't show up, he would force himself to meet Hermione by taking the opportunity to find a toad for Neville.

Yang Tian's plan had already begun on platform 9...

The two were chatting happily when a girl's voice suddenly came from the door of the box.

"Hello, may I sit here? The other boxes are full." Although all the words used were honorifics, there was a sense of matter-of-factness in the tone.

Yang Tian and Neville looked in the direction of the voice, and what they saw was a girl with messy brown hair, piercing brown eyes, and a pair of striking front teeth that seemed to reveal her identity. Yang Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, haha, he really made the right bet, the target appeared.

Yang Tian said without hesitation: "Of course."

He immediately stood up, asked the other party to sit down first like a gentleman, and then used a levitation spell to put the little girl's luggage away.

After completing this series of actions, Yang Tian sat back in his seat, smiled and stretched out his hand, saying: "My name is Yang Tian, ​​a first-year student at Hogwarts, nice to meet you."

The little girl immediately reached out her hand and shook it with Yang Tian, ​​and said politely: "Hello, my name is Hermione Granger, you can call me Hermione. Nice to meet you."

Then, Hermione looked at Neville with a scrutinizing gaze.

Neville was only relaxed in front of Yang Tian, ​​and immediately became uneasy in front of others. Neville lowered his head slightly, and said weakly, "Neville, Neville Longbottom."

Hermione tilted her head back slightly and stretched out her hand.

Seeing this, Neville also hurriedly stretched out his hands and shook hands with the other party.

After greeting each other, Hermione immediately turned her attention to Yang Tian and asked tentatively, "Do you know a lot of spells?"

Yang Tian said in a friendly manner: "Yes, I know a lot. I have many magic books at home. It is not difficult to learn."

Hermione felt a little annoyed and echoed absentmindedly, "I don't think it's difficult either."

Then he said excitedly, "I tried a few simple spells at home, just for practice, and they all worked."

"You know, no one in my family knows magic, so when I got the acceptance letter, I was shocked, but also very happy. Because, I mean, as far as I know, this is the best magic school. I know all the textbooks by heart. Of course, I just hope it works."

Looking at the little girl who seemed eager to prove herself, Yang Tian comforted her, "Hermione, relax a little. You have to understand that even most of the students who come from wizarding families, like you, have little contact with magic before entering school."

Hermione didn't seem to appreciate it and asked, "So, you are an exception?"

Looking at the little girl who was like a hedgehog, Yang Tian smiled bitterly and said, "In a sense, yes. After all, there are differences in the learning age between the Eastern and Western magic worlds. This is normal."

Hermione tilted her head to think for a while before accepting this statement. She then asked, "So you are a little wizard from the East? Then why do you come to Hogwarts to study?"

Yang Tian did not hide it and answered: "My father is Chinese and my mother is British."

......

The conversation soon started, and as they got to know each other better, they chatted about everything from interesting things in life to experiences in the wizarding world.

Neville wanted to remain invisible throughout the whole process, but Yang Tian was not willing to let him go. He would pull Neville aside from time to time to ask for his opinion. For a while, the three of them were quite harmonious...
