"How do you feel?" Sean asked the two of them with a smile.
Capone and Milani both nodded quickly. Everything they encountered was very novel to them. In addition, they had been reading various books about magic in the second half of the summer vacation. Now they are heading to Hogwart.
You can imagine the excitement in my heart when I saw the train in Ci.
"That's good, okay, I won't say more. There were more freshmen last year and this year, and there are also students from different countries. I have to go check the situation again."
"Then go ahead and do your work, sir." Capone said quickly.
Sean nodded: "See you in the castle."
After saying that, he strode away, of course, accompanied by the sounds of many people saying hello and goodbye.
"Mr. Wallop is so popular. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known he was only in the fifth grade of school - I thought he had already graduated!" Milani said.
Capone nodded in agreement: "Yes, sir, he is excellent in every aspect."
Milani closed the door and leaned back in her chair, and said lazily: "Ah, I wonder what I will be like when I am in fifth grade..."
Capone was observing the outside through the sliding door window of the carriage. The group of Mr. Wallop's admirers had dispersed, but a few people looked specifically at him.
He nodded thoughtfully, and then replied to Milani: "I think it will look good, at least what you like and want."
Melanie blinked, and then laughed happily: "Capone, you have been staying with Mr. Wallop for so long, and you are getting better and better at grasping the key points when speaking."
Capone scratched his head in embarrassment: "Really..."
During the second half of the summer vacation, Mr. Wallop often came to Godric's Hollow. Whenever he came, he would visit Ms. Bathilda's house, and then either have lunch at Mr. Potter's house or take him out.
, the two of them found a quiet place to talk and eat the food he brought from home.
Mr. Wallop's teachings were not limited to that day in Diagon Alley. In the days that followed, he often taught Capone many things.
It's not just magic, he will tell himself how to achieve what he wants to achieve without using magic in many situations, how to figure out other people's thoughts, and how to effectively use the power around him and the help of others.
Capone felt like a deflated balloon. Mr. Wallop kept cheering him up, and he was gradually "inflating".
Of course, it is not the kind of psychological expansion, which is the most undesirable situation.
In just over half a month, even though Mr. Wallop didn't come to Godric's Hollow every day, Capone felt that he had learned things that he might not have been exposed to in the past eleven years.
Capone also carefully reviewed his own situation. Regardless of his actual age, his mental age should be more mature than that of his peers, but he still has not got rid of the thinking of a child.
If you want to achieve what Mr. Wallop calls "seeing through people's hearts," it is essential to quickly mature your mental age.
When Mr. Wallop heard about his idea, he smiled happily and told himself: "Capone, don't pretend to be mature, and don't force yourself to be mature. Follow your strongest will at the moment, and then slowly understand and digest me."
As I told you - man, this is not a sweet pudding that can be finished in a few bites, you need time, and of course, you have plenty of time."
Capone felt that he had met the most powerful teacher. He always knew what he was thinking and could always think about Capone's problems from Capone's perspective.
He also clearly realized that he did not live for Mr. Wallop, he only lived for himself, but Mr. Wallop’s help was something he definitely did not want to let down, and he also wanted to conscientiously complete Mr. Wallop’s mission.
expect.
After all, that future self is also what he wants.
"Capone, do you know that the way you are thinking now looks like Mr. Wallop?" Melanie said, blinking.
Capone was stunned, and then laughed: "This is not a bad thing. Mr. Wallop taught me a lot, and some of my habits will be closer to him. This is normal."
"You also sound like Mr. Wallop when you speak... But that's good, Capone, you feel more and more confident and mature." Milani encouraged.
"Thank you, Milani."
"Hey, by the way, have you learned spells? Sometimes Mr. Wallop takes you somewhere, and you two secretly learn spells! Tell me!" The little girl put her hands in her eyes and pretended.
He looked questioning, with a smile in his eyes.
"Mr. Wallop didn't teach me how to recite a spell well or how to draw the correct trajectory with a wand as I imagined -" Capone said, cupping his cheek, "He taught me more about...
As for the concept of magic and the operating principles of magic, according to him, he felt that it would be more in line with a wizard's spellcasting needs for me to have a basic concept first, and then explore it on my own according to my own habits and other circumstances."
Milani tilted her head after listening, twisting the ends of her hair with some distress: "I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand. I always think it is a very powerful thing."
Capone nodded: "I think so too. In fact, I don't really understand it, but Mr. Wallop said that this is a long-term process, and slowly we will understand what he meant. Moreover, magic
It’s so wonderful and unknown in itself.”
The Hogwarts Express (doubtful) made the sound of "continue again", the scenery outside the car window slowly receded, and the two young people who had just entered the wonderful realm discussed everything enthusiastically and expectantly.
In the carriage at the other end of the freight train, Sean and Hermione, who had just come out of the prefect carriage and returned to the ordinary carriage, were enjoying the snacks Daisy brought from home. Of course, they also bought them from the salesperson on the train.
Quite a few.
"Oh my gosh, there are so many new students this year. It took us so long just to check the situation." Hermione said while stuffing something into her mouth.
As a conscientious prefect, she has been carefully patrolling and answering questions for some freshmen throughout the whole process. She has not had anything to eat or drink until now.
She was starving.
"Eat slowly... However, there are indeed many new students, especially when the number of new students from abroad is also increasing at the same rate." Sean also took a sip of the drink and sighed.
He was not that tired. On the one hand, he was used to dealing with many people and dealing with strange problems. On the other hand, his partner was the famous Miss Hermione Granger.
I have to say that with a partner like Hermione, my workload will be much lighter when doing any work...
Hearing Sean speak, Hermione rolled her eyes indifferently.
"Mr. Wallop, if you didn't have to stop and say hello to your admirers every time, our work could have ended earlier."
Sean smiled coquettishly: "I always have to respond when others say hello, but I kind of underestimate their enthusiasm."
Daisy, who had been smiling while watching the two of them eat, covered her mouth and snickered.
Then, Xiao Baihua cleared her throat, formed a sweet voice, and imitated it with the enthusiasm of a little girl: "Wow, Mr. Wallop, wow, Professor, how are you doing this summer vacation? Oh, my God
, I want to contact you, but I’m worried that I’ll disturb you—pfft.”
Sean followed Hermione's example and rolled his eyes at Daisy, and said angrily: "Thank you for your poor imitation, Miss Daisy Potter."
Xiao Baihua said with a smile: "This is not clumsy at all. Those girls, especially the second and third graders, Sean, don't say you don't feel it."
Sean leaned back, and then shrugged helplessly: "What if you feel it? Sometimes, it is easy for children to worship someone. Although I have said it many times in class, don't do this.
The situation of public worship…”
"You are handsome, polite, personable and wealthy. You are excellent in class and have a special teaching method. It is normal for those girls to like you." Daisy said matter-of-factly.
Sean spread his hands: "There won't be so many opportunities this school year. I'm still responsible for teaching the first and second grades. The third grade, well, are they my old students? They will have to face Professor McGonagall."
Daisy stuck out her tongue: "When people who are used to your teaching style meet Professor McGonagall, I can already imagine that those who are used to asking questions directly will be criticized by Professor McGonagall."
"That's not bad. Professor McGonagall is just a bit strict. She still likes students to ask questions..."
A few people chatted, and when they finished eating, Hermione stretched herself.
"Sean, do you want to go see it again?"
Sean put on a grimace: "You still want to go? Oh my God, Hermione, Percy wasn't as active as you when he was a prefect."
Hermione's face turned red, and then she crossed her hips like a lioness: "This is our responsibility, Sean, you must take it seriously!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Miss Granger..."
The little white flower on the side interjected: "By the way, Sean, where is your little apprentice Capone, won't you stop visiting him?"
Sean touched his nose and said easily: "I'm just teaching him. I don't want to completely control his life, just go to school and take the train. He and his little girlfriend should also have a lot to talk about, and
Maybe he will meet other new friends - even if there are any problems, I believe he has the ability to solve them on his own."
As Sean and the others were talking, Capone failed to live up to Daisy and Sean's expectations - he was really in trouble.
"You two are really here. I searched back and forth across several carriages and finally found you."
There were three people blocking the door of the carriage. They were all boys about the same age as Capone. The boy in the lead was very familiar to him. Henry Rice, who had called him a "poor guy" at Ollivander's Wand Shop that day.
Milani stood up immediately after seeing Les and his followers.
"You are not welcome here, please get out."
Les glanced at Milani slowly, and he once again showed the smile that he thought was handsome: "Although I always like to follow ladies' ideas, please forgive me that I can't do so this time - speaking of it, you
You haven’t given me your contact information yet, this beautiful lady.”
"I have no interest in you, please don't disturb us, get out!" Milani stared at the other party fiercely.
However, Les looked back at both sides of the aisle, and then led the people directly into the car.
"But I'm very interested, very interested in both of you."
Capone said nothing, but moved closer to Milani.
He started thinking when the other party walked in.
As Mr. Wallop said, think first before acting, first determine the other party's intention and real thoughts, and then make a response that you think is appropriate.
The Henry Rice in front of him still maintained the arrogance and domineering attitude he had when they first met. This was a very stupid behavior in Capone's opinion.
Because, at the beginning, Old Rice was scared off by Mr. Wallop and did not even have the intention to say harsh words. He directly apologized and quickly fled from Mr. Wallop with his son.
Regardless of what Old Rice thinks, it at least proves that Old Rice still has some insight. Although it's not much, it really does exist.
He knew he couldn't afford to offend Mr. Wallop, so he wisely chose to give in quickly.
As the only son of Old Rice, Henry Rice's arrogant character is normal, but he has never learned from Old Rice's timely resignation - even a child should be able to see some of the most basic things:
His father was afraid of Mr. Wallop.
As for me and Melanie, who were led by Mr. Wallop, it at least proved that they had a familiar relationship with Mr. Wallop.
So, as long as a normal person thinks, Henry Rice will not provoke him - even if he cannot understand this truth, old Rice will not remind his son of this, right?
Now that Les is here again, it proves that he has confirmed in some way, or that he has received what he considers to be reliable information - my relationship with Mr. Wallop is not that close, and it was just a coincidence that day.
Or maybe he found what he thought was a strong backing that could stand up to Mr. Wallop.
For example, those pure-blood wizard families have a huge say in the wizarding world.
Based on Henry Rice's character, Capone believed that the latter was more likely.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and said calmly: "Les, what do you want? I'm very confused, what exactly do you want?"
Les, who originally had a proud smile, was stunned. He didn't expect that this stupid young man would actually ask him what he wanted so calmly.
This made all the words and actions he had prepared useless. After all, in his expectation, this young and poor guy would directly question himself, or even yell at himself...
However, now that the other party has expressed nothing, how can I find fault?
Henry Rice found himself in a rather embarrassing situation.
