September 1st came all of a sudden. When Tom woke up that day, there was a dull atmosphere in the house, mainly because the only daughter of the family was going to study in a strange world. Of course, the sky outside was a bit gloomy.
relation.
Hermione woke up at five o'clock in the morning. She was so excited and nervous that she couldn't fall back to sleep after waking up. She sat up, leaned back against the bed and curled up into a blue ball with her hands on her knees. She saw the bed
The stuffed tiger doll on her head was looking at her intently, so she held the stuffed doll in her arms so that the tiger's head was in a state where the tiger's breasts reached its ears, and then she carefully combed the plush doll's hair. After combing it, she
Knead it to mess up the hair and repeat it again and again.
"Tiger cub, I'm going to a distant place to go to school. You have to protect me..." Hermione touched the tip of her nose to the tip of the little tiger's nose, and then prayed in a low voice. The doll's eyes were bright and hollow, as if
Say: Sorry, I'm just a little doll.
Hermione buried her head in the belly of the little tiger. The doll was fragrant and had a good smell. Hermione took two deep breaths and calmed down. She glanced at the sky outside and felt that it was already time.
When it was almost done, I jumped out of bed and put on the clothes I had prepared a long time ago.
She first put on a white shirt, a delicate women's tie on top, and then put on a gray pullover sweater and a gray long skirt. By the time she finished doing this, it was already dawn. She opened it again
I checked my box against the Hogwarts shopping list and made sure I had everything I needed before I went to wash up.
When she came out of the bathroom, she met Tom. He seemed to be ready. Two hours later, their heavy suitcase was loaded into the Granger family's car. Mr. Granger drove and Tom sat in the passenger seat.
, Hermione and Mrs. Granger sat side by side in the back row. The four of them set out on the road together.
They were lucky today. There was no traffic jam around the train station. They arrived at King's Cross Station at half past ten. Mr. Granger put their luggage on the trolley and helped them push it into the station. Railway stations in Europe are slightly different from those in China. They
There is no security check at all, and there is no concept of a ticket office. Just walk a few steps from the outside and you will find the platform where the train stops.
The Granger family walked to and stopped between platform 9 and platform 10.
"This is platform 9, and that over there is platform 10. It says 9 on the ticket? Where is the platform?" Mr. Granger frowned and said, "They haven't had time to build it yet?"
Looking around, there is a large 9-character plastic sign hanging on one platform, and a large 10-character plastic sign hanging on the other platform, and there is nothing in between except two railroad tracks.
The joke wasn't funny, and Hermione frowned, but then Tom pushed them and pointed towards a wall.
They saw a family standing by the wall, then they looked around furtively, and then they leaned against the wall - and the people disappeared.
"I think that's the entrance." Tom saw a man dressed as a guard approaching them and said quickly, "Hurry up, don't miss the train to Hogwarts."
Upon hearing the word Hogwarts, the guard stopped and walked in the other direction.
They pushed the luggage cart towards the wall, and Tom saw a large group of red-haired people coming in not far from them, headed by a short, fat woman with fiery red hair. They were also pushing a cart.
A suitcase with an owl on it.
Tom smiled at them, and the fat woman in the lead also smiled back, and made a gesture to let them go first. So he and Hermione and his daughter looked at the wall, which looked very strong at first glance, and took a deep breath.
They took a breath and ran all the way. The wall was getting closer and closer to them. They couldn't help but close their eyes. Then they passed through the wall with a "swipe" and came to platform 9?.
There was a dark red steam locomotive parked on the platform, and the platform was full of passengers carrying large and small luggage. The sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express.
Coming to this platform is like traveling back a hundred years ago. The platform is filled with thick smoke from steam locomotives, and there are buzzing voices and the chirping of pets brought by little wizards and their families. The first few carriages
It was already crowded with students. Some of them leaned out of the car windows to talk to their families, while others were playing in their seats.
The moment he stepped into this place, a reminder of the change in mission progress came to Tom's mind. The progress of the second phase of the Worldly Wandering mission he had accepted had changed from 0/2 to 1/2.
Platform 9 at King's Cross Station is also unlocked.
Hermione was saying goodbye to her father. Mr. Granger hugged her tightly and kissed her on the forehead. At this time, Tom had already taken all the luggage to the car.
"Okay, remember to keep in touch!" Mr. Granger let go of his daughter, rubbed his eyes, and watched his daughter and Tom board the train together.
"Hermione, this way!" Tom found an empty compartment. He walked up in one stride, opened the door of the compartment, put the suitcase on the luggage rack, and then took Hermione and him one by one.
The luggage was carried up.
"Thank you for your hard work." Hermione smiled apologetically. She took out a crisper box from her bag and said, "Here, I'll treat you to strawberries."
In Hermione's eyes, it is not natural for boys to move things for girls. Even in England, where gentlemanly demeanor is popular, there is no reason for seven or eight boys to move dormitories for an entire class of thirty girls.
The two soon sat down facing each other in the carriage.
Hermione looked out the window and found that Mr. Granger had been submerged in the crowd. What came into view was the group of red-haired people she met before. One of them, a pair of twins, was helping someone move boxes. His family's
The short, fat lady was wiping the nose of her youngest child.
A red-haired young man wearing a black Hogwarts robe with a shining silver letter P on his chest was talking to them...
The whistle sounded, and the three teenagers hurriedly climbed onto the train. They leaned out of the car window and let their mother kiss them goodbye. The little girl held by their mother started crying again.
The train started. Hermione saw the children's mother waving, and their little sister crying and running after the train, until the train accelerated and she was left behind, still waving to them. On the platform
The crowd gradually thinned out, and she saw her father standing alone on the platform. She had never seen such a lonely and helpless father.
Hermione's eyes felt hot, and a drop of crystal tears flowed out of her eyes. However, before it crossed her cheek, it was sucked away by a tissue. She saw Tom staring at her, holding a tissue in his hand.
"Hurry up and say hello to your dad."
Hermione also came to her senses, opened the window, leaned out, and waved to Mr. Granger. Mr. Granger immediately saw her and waved goodbye to her until the train turned the corner and the two parties lost sight of each other.
