Chapter 141 The Magical Hogwarts Express

After Ryan changed his school uniform as required, he kept thinking about the previous question: what means of transport will Hogwarts use to transport students, so that everyone can cross the vast Atlantic Ocean and go halfway around the world to Castrob in South America Lu Shuo. He even discussed it with Hermione.

Apparition and Portkey were the first to be considered impossible in the discussion, because Ryan recalled the style of the two schools during the Triwizard Tournament in the original book, and felt that Hogwarts would not have taken such a low-key approach. way of ranking. After all, as a thousand-year-old famous school, it is impossible not to show off on such occasions that you need to show off yourself.

Not to mention that there are limits to both Apparition and Portkey, otherwise the Quidditch World Cup spectators in the original book could arrive at the same time in a short period of time, instead of someone even having to arrive weeks in advance.

The second was considered unlikely to be a flying carpet, broomstick and floo network, for the same reasons as the first. These things are similar to Muggle motorcycles and trucks. Can you imagine that when the Cambridge and Oxford study tour groups go to other schools to communicate, professors and students ride motorcycles or trucks themselves?

And the schools in the wizarding world are not open to the use of Muggle transportation. Imagine the scene where Hogwarts and his party took a plane to Brazil, and the Castro Brusso school sent someone to pick up the person at the airport with a sign. Ryan thought the picture was too beautiful to watch.

In the end, it was nothing more than thinking that Hogwarts would have its own unique means of transportation, but Ryan really didn't expect that Hogwarts would choose the Hogwarts Express, which seemed to lack a sufficient sense of history, as a means of transportation.

With the sound of steam coming out, the Hogwarts Express stopped at the edge of the platform. Ryan saw Headmaster Dumbledore, Minister of Magic Fudge, four deans of the Academy, and several Ministry of Magic officials get out of the car with reporters.

Seeing them coming to the platform, the students quickly stood up and lined up on the platform. Only at this time did Ryan realize that among the students on the platform, there were only two Gryffindor Academy and two Hufflepuff Academy students, and the rest were four Ravenclaw and four Slytherin. Sure enough, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were still a little weaker in terms of exams.

Then came Fudge's speech, which was full of bullshit claiming the importance of communication and highlighting the importance of the Ministry of Magic. Ryan almost fell asleep listening to it.

Finally, Fudge ended his speech, and Ryan was shocked and applauded with everyone, while the reporter from the Daily Prophet on the side quickly took a picture of the scene with a camera.

Next was Dumbledore's speech. The Headmaster's speech was much shorter than the Minister's, and it ended in a few minutes. Naturally, Ryan's applause to the Principal was much more sincere than his sincerity to the Minister.

After all the speeches, it's time for everyone to get on the bus. This time, the school sent Professor Sprout as the team leader, and Kettle Burn, who just retired this year, as the accompanying professor. Under their leadership, the little wizards took their luggage and boarded the Hogwarts Express.

After everyone got into the car from the door of the first car, Ryan realized that the dress in the car was completely different from usual. The boxes on the usual car disappeared, and the box became a small common room, decorated with four colors representing the four colleges. There is also a large Hogwarts badge on the wall.

When everyone just entered the car, they heard the dull crash of the door closing. With the sound of a whistle, the train slowly galloped up on the tracks. Suddenly a feeling of overweight came, and several seniors next to him exclaimed. Ryan looked through the car window in the direction of their fingers and was surprised to see that the train had broken off the tracks and started flying into the sky.

Think about it too, there is no railway in London that can go all the way to Castro Bruschow, so the Hogwarts Express must have another way to get on the road, everyone exclaimed, but they didn't know that the Hogwarts Express would use this kind of way. I was able to hurry, so I was surprised at the sudden departure of the train.

As for the flight itself, it's not so amazing, like Mr. Weasley can make a flying car by himself,

It is also normal to have a flight mode as the crystallization of the wisdom of the entire British wizarding world.

A few minutes later, the Hogwarts express reached the predetermined altitude and started to fly smoothly. At this time, Professor Sprout also called everyone back from the car window to start making arrangements.

Okay, everyone pay attention. When Professor Sprout saw that everyone had walked into the lounge, he said to the little wizards below: You can see that there are four representatives at the end of this common room. The four doors of the college, you go to the corresponding carriage according to your college. The rooms have been arranged, and everyone has your name on the bedroom door. Before the departure, you should go to your own house and put away your luggage. Then come here and gather.

After listening to Sprout's professor's instructions, Ryan walked to the door representing Gryffindor, and twisted the brass door handle embossed with a roaring lion on the door.

The door opened, and Ryan was surprised to find in front of him a corridor of train cars, all decorated in gold and red. After he dragged his luggage through the door, he found that there was a window glass on his right, through which he could see the people standing on the platform. On the left side is a wall panel with red velvet wallpaper, and there is a row of oil lamps for lighting. Through the glass cover, you can see that it is not a flame, but some transparent stones that emit a white light.

There are two houses in this carriage belonging to Gryffindor House, one for Ryan and one for Hermione. Opening the door with his name written on it with a bronze plaque, he walked into the room. Ryan saw that this dormitory was similar to his own in Hogwarts, just a little smaller.

Neville's letter had mentioned before that the Hogwarts Express had two types of carriages, one of which was for long-distance travel, but it had not been used for decades. However, Ryan found that neither the lounge just now nor the current room had the same dilapidated feeling that it had been left for decades, but it looked like it was cleaned yesterday. The credit goes to those hardworking house-elves. At least Lane felt that the pulp on the furniture in the room should only develop after a long period of careful maintenance.

Obviously, this train is used as the facade of Hogwarts, and it is not as simple as it seems. Whether it's the lounges and dormitories that don't seem to be in line with the outside space, or the various furnishings throughout the train that give the sense of harmony it should be. All of them reflect the heritage of a thousand-year-old school.

When everyone packed their luggage and rushed to the lounge, everyone was surprised to find that the coffee table and sofa that had just been placed in the lounge were gone. A long table occupied the center of the lounge, surrounded by a table. The high-backed armchairs make the lounge look more like the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Professor Sprout sat on the chair at the head of the table and the little wizards said, Okay, everyone sits in the chairs. We still have a lot of things to do on this journey.
