One month later, King's Cross Station, London, England.
"Okay, let's say goodbye here. I don't want to sit on the train and say goodbye to you."
Elena held the trolley and stopped between platforms 9 and 10. She turned her head and said to Benitez beside her. As she spoke, the girl patted her bulging chest, "Store food, come out and follow
Dad said goodbye."
The girl's chest moved, and a sleepy little owl poked its head out of the collar of her blouse and hooted as if to say goodbye.
Gu~
Ever since she returned to the small town of Lars from Hogwarts that day, Elena was forbidden to touch any books related to magic. It wasn't until the first day of school that Elena even touched her wand for the first time.
Before that, the two black walnut wands sent by Ollivander had been kept by Benitez.
As the unsuccessful 819 coup was launched as scheduled, Elena stopped paying attention to news about the Soviet Union.
This wave of change has completely taken shape. Unless someone can overturn most of human civilization within three months, no one can stop the Soviet Union from disintegrating step by step.
Therefore, Elena spent most of her time and energy on learning cooking skills and training (tiao) on stocking up on food.
After experiencing the reward of several hot baths, Little Reserve Liang quickly learned things such as not to kill a mouse and go home, to huddle in the arms of his little master at night and not to flutter, and to help the prey when it wants to struggle (currently).
The only opponent for the time being is lake fish)...this series of very important survival rules.
"You..."
Benitez shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and slipped the reserve food out of Elena's collar, placed it on top of the large black suitcase on the trolley, straightened the girl's somewhat disheveled silver hair, and said dotingly.
"After you go to school, don't be as casual as you are at home. Why don't you always sleep with the food reserves on your chest?"
Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when it came to parting, Benitez still couldn't help but worry a little about gain and loss. He squatted down, touched Elena's head and warned her again seriously.
"Two large suitcases, one with clothes and quilts, and the other with books and snacks. After arriving at school, remember to take out the clothes and hang them up to avoid wrinkles and look unsightly. If it gets cold later, remember to put more layers on the bed
One layer of bedding.”
"There are a lot of snacks brought to you in the box this time. You can share them with your classmates and make more friends. If they are not enough, let me know by mail from the food reserve and send you some more."
"And that set of imported German Zwilling knives, be careful when using them. I looked at them and found that they are heavier than the knives you usually use. Don't hurt yourself."
"Pay attention to safety in school. If you have conflicts with classmates, or if classmates bully you..."
"Hey, I know... I will try my best to get along with my classmates. If necessary, I will ask the professor for help."
Elena sighed helplessly. Benitez had nagged her the same words so many times along the way that her ears almost felt numb.
"Okay, relax... Dad."
The silver-haired little Luoli grabbed the big hand on top of his head and patted it gently. The man's unshaven face was reflected in his lake-blue eyes, and his volume increased slightly.
"Hogwarts is in the Scottish Highlands, not in Africa or even in Antarctica. Besides, this is not my first time going to school. When the orphanage was first built, the conditions were much more difficult than this."
Raising her head and looking at the clock hanging on the platform, Elena bit her lip, passed Benitez, took the trolley and walked towards platform 9 and a quarter.
"It's getting late. The Hogwarts Express will leave at eleven o'clock. I'll get in first."
Therefore, she was most unsuited to facing such a parting situation, and she should just leave without saying a word at this time.
"Elena!"
Seeing the girl about to pass through the ticket gate between platforms 9 and 10, Benitez suddenly shouted loudly.
"Um?"
The silver-haired little Luoli turned around and looked at the man, tilting his head in confusion.
"I just thought about it and decided not to wrong myself."
Benitez's body sank slightly, he clenched his fists in front of his chest, made a standard boxing movement, and waved his casserole-sized fists vigorously in the air.
"Remember how I taught you how to punch, right? If someone bullies you, just give them a good beating!"
Sure enough, it's still the familiar routine of convincing people with force first, beating up all the thorny ones who don't have eyesight, and then talking to the truth?
This was the Storm Monk in her memory. Elena's mood instantly became much brighter. The corner of her mouth curled up, revealing a cute little tiger tooth. She turned her back and shook her white and tender fist.
"Don't worry, I will never embarrass you, dad. Even if it's a boy, I won't hit him."
After Elena finished speaking, without looking back, she pushed the trolley toward the ticket gate with brisk steps.
Behind her, Benitez raised his hand, as if he wanted to give some more instructions, but in the end he made no sound, and watched helplessly as the girl's swaying silver hair suddenly disappeared in the air.
Benitez rubbed his eyes. The railings at the ticket gate that Elena passed through looked very strong, and the passers-by didn't seem to notice that a little girl suddenly disappeared into the train station.
"Your daughter? She is a very sensible child, and she is also a freshman attending Hogwarts for the first time, right?"
At this time, a gentle woman's voice sounded in Benitez's ears. He turned his head and saw a short, fat woman standing next to him with four boys with fiery red hair. Each boy
They all push suitcases like Elena's - and they all have an owl on their suitcases.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
Seeing Benitez turn his head, the woman blinked apologetically, "But, I think if possible, you should go to the station to see her off. After all, she is such a young girl."
"It still can't be done, it might be ugly, and..."
Benitez thought about it carefully, shook his head, and his eyes darkened slightly, "...I am not a wizard. I can't teach her whether it's magic or other knowledge. She should belong to the wider world."
Although Benitez could not fully understand the situation in the entire magical world in one month, it was enough for him to roughly understand what kind of huge event Elena had planned.
Whether it is the miraculous magic displayed by Dumbledore, or the astronomical wealth, or the game across the entire world, no matter which one is enough to subvert Benitez
All his decades of experience and knowledge are there.
For the first time in his life, Benitez felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration. He could clearly feel that the strong body and orphanage that he was once proud of, which could protect girls from wind and rain, had now become
The shackles that block Elena's access to the wider world.
Alas, the man... was just like the one in her family, even worse.
The woman, Mrs. Weasley, shook her head helplessly and patted Benitez's shoulder gently.
"Children will eventually grow up, leave us, and go their own way. However, this does not mean that the meaning of family will disappear. Children can choose to escape, but as parents, we must try our best to stay with them until the last moment.
"
After a pause, Mrs. Weasley added softly, "Besides, I saw the child crying at the end. Do I really not need to catch up and comfort him?"
"Elena, you actually cried?"
Benitez's expression changed, he raised his head and looked forward, only to realize that the girl had already disappeared.
"Of course, this is what a mother of seven children observed."
Mrs. Weasley smiled proudly and patted Benitez on the back, "Go quickly, you should still have time. Just go straight through the ticket gate between platforms 9 and 10."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Benitez nodded and hurried forward with an anxious look on his face.
"Mom, what do you think the girl is crying about? I think she seems quite happy?"
To Mrs. Weasley's right, the little girl with fiery red hair raised her head and asked curiously.
Mrs. Weasley smiled slightly, touched her daughter's head, turned around and clapped her hands, "Children, let's go quickly. Percy, you go at the front..."
————
It's a big risk. Fortunately, I coded 500 words in advance yesterday, otherwise I would have almost faced the crisis of asking for leave and ending the update.
The plot of the beginning of school was unexpectedly difficult to write. I originally wanted to write the scene of the father sending his daughter off to school in another city, but after thinking about it, when my family sent me off, they seemed to have told me not to bully my classmates, and then left me at the airport.
