Tom scratched his head, "Why did it take so long?"
Hermione rolled her eyes at him, girls tidy up at a different time than you boys!
She took two short steps towards Tom and turned around quickly, "How do you like this outfit?"
The heels of the small leather shoes hit the floor, making a crisp clicking sound, and the hem of the wizard's robe flew up, like a blooming flower.
"It looks good, but is it any different from usual?" Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Tom looked at it for a moment. He always felt that Hermione seemed a little different from usual, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"I won't tell you~" Hermione felt proud. She was keenly aware that Tom had noticed her changes, which made her very happy.
While waiting, Tom also changed into the Hogwarts wizard robe, washed his face, and sprayed some perfume. After Hermione came out, the two of them took a taxi and rushed to Harker's house.
At nine o'clock sharp, Tom rang the doorbell of Huck's house and met the cabinet minister.
Today, Huck also put on his best suit and tie - the clothes he would wear only when meeting the Prime Minister. His hair was gelled and combed to perfection, and his leather shoes were polished. His whole person had a kind of
A radiant feeling.
"It's time for us to set off, Mr. Huck." Tom greeted Huck and Annie politely, and then walked to the first floor of the apartment with Huck.
"Did you take the bottle of magic potion that came with the envelope?" Tom remembered something and looked at Huck and asked.
Huck hesitated for a moment, "This... not yet, because I don't know how long it can last, and I'm afraid that drinking it too early will delay things."
Huck put it more tactfully. The root cause was that he could not retain 100% trust in the wizard. He needed to know why he had to drink this potion.
Tom and Hermione immediately understood what Huck really meant.
"This potion is very important because it can help you become immune to Hogwarts' defensive magic." Tom patiently explained to Huck.
"Defense... magic?" Some pictures popped up in Huck's mind: walking through a corridor, the armors on both sides came to life one after another, pulling out the sword and cutting him into flesh; walking on the road, a fire dragon suddenly fell from the sky and cut him into pieces.
Burned to charcoal... After you drink the magic potion, a bubble-shaped protective shield will form around your body to protect yourself from difficulties.
"The land around Hogwarts is under a Muggle expulsion spell. When Muggles step into this land, they will only see a barren ruins, and then think of urgent matters and quickly stay away from here." Hermione said for Huck.

"This potion can help you get rid of the interference of Muggle expulsion spells, and also allow you to see things that Muggles can't see or hear."
"So that's it," Huck felt that this explanation was reasonable - the magic world has not been exposed so far, which shows that they do have a method. This Muggle expulsion spell should be a very important part.
Huck took out the small medicine bottle from his arms, pulled out the stopper and drank it in one gulp. He smashed his mouth and felt that it tasted pretty good?
"So, how should we go to Hogwarts?" Huck asked expectantly.
"Take the bus."
Huck:?
Huck suspects that there is something wrong with his ears. Is there any connection between public transportation and magic?
Seeing that Huck did not express any clear objection, Tom decided to go to Hogwarts.
There are six ways to reach Hogwarts from London: Portkey, Floo Network, Apparition, broomstick, Knight Bus and Hogwarts Express.
Of course, taking the train is the safest way, but the problem is that there are no trains now. The train will only leave when the holiday is almost over. As for Apparition, Tom can't transport people yet. The broomstick and the door key can't
Unreliable - one is too easy to expose, and the other is not arranged in advance.
In the end, there were only two options left. Tom weighed it for a long time and finally decided to use the Knight Bus. The Floo Network was still too unreliable. If Huck said the wrong place, it would be troublesome.
The bus is very safe, I can accompany you throughout the journey, and there are few witnesses.
Tom held out his wand.
Then Huck saw an extremely shocking scene: a three-story bus seemed to emerge from the void, suddenly appeared on the street corner, and rushed towards them. Finally, it braked suddenly in front of them.
Stop a few feet in front of them.
Huck could even feel the strong wind brought by the approaching car. When the car stopped, he felt that his back was already covered with thin beads of cold sweat.
"Merry Christmas! Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, the emergency bus for witches or wizards in distress. Just stick out your wand and step on board, and we'll take you wherever you want to go.
.I am your conductor Stan Sampac. Where are you going?" The conductor Stan Sampac stepped out of the car and looked at Tom and the three of them.
"Hogsmeade." Tom answered and motioned for Hermione and Huck to get in the car.
"The ticket is ten silvers per person," Stan said, "but if you pay thirteen, you get—"
"Just a regular ticket." Tom shook his head, interrupted Sunpack's sales pitch, and said that he did not need any additional services. He took out his wallet, paid for the ticket, and took Huck and Hermione through the ticket.
He made a bed and chose a corner to sit down.
After settling down, Huck began to look around the two buses. As far as he could see, there were beds with brass pillars. There were brackets welded next to each bed with unlit candles on them.
Since it was daytime, the light inside the car was okay. However, there were not many people in the car. They might be on the second or third floor, Huck thought.
At this time, with the roar of the engine, the car rushed out again, and Huck was thrown onto the bed without paying attention. He tried to stand up, looked out the window, and found that they were now on an unfamiliar street.
.
The Knight Bus is driving very fast. But it seems that the driver's driving skills are not very good. The bus always crashes into the sidewalk, but there are no traffic accidents: those lamp posts, mailboxes and trash cans are all blown away when the bus comes over.
He jumped to avoid it, and when it passed, he returned to his original position.
"Wouldn't ordinary citizens see this?" Huck asked.
"What they can't see, this car is enchanted." Tom moved to the bed and lay down in a comfortable position.
