The steam train left London and headed towards Hogwarts.
The students gathered together in small groups in the carriage, sharing their experiences during the holidays.
The cart selling snacks was stopped from time to time, and handfuls of snacks were bought.
"It doesn't take that much!" Charles hurriedly stopped Neville, fearing that he would also buy the trolley.
Neville blushed and said, "Grandma asked me to thank you very much."
Charles smiled and said: "Don't be so polite. In fact, I didn't do anything. It was mainly due to Mrs. Angelina."
"How are your parents doing now?"
While speaking, he opened a pack of licorice wands and handed one to the person opposite and to Hermione next to him.
Neville was eating sweet snacks and said: "When dad and mom woke up, the doctor said that their bodies were not very coordinated. It was a little inconvenient to hold knives and forks, and their food had no taste."
"On the second day of Christmas, Aunt Angelina came to check on my parents. She said this was a normal phenomenon and that it would be fine if she practiced more during this period."
"Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Scrimgeour also came here after mom and dad came home, and told me that you invited Aunt Angelina."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It's just that the Longbottoms are getting better.
He thought for a while and said to Neville: "I suggest you write more letters to them and let them practice using their hands more."
Neville immediately nodded as if entering vibration mode.
Hermione listened to the general idea that it was Charles who hired someone to cure Neville's parents' illness, and asked curiously: "Who is Aunt Angelina?"
Charles answered casually: "It's a Veela I met by chance during my vacation. When we were chatting, we accidentally talked about the Longbottoms. She said she might be able to treat it, so I asked her to try it.
”
If it were Harry or Ron, they would only be a little curious after hearing this.
But Hermione was different. She immediately agreed to the question: "Ms. Angelina of Veela? I have seen her in the "Directory of Famous Contemporary Magicians". She is a famous scholar of the history of magic in France. If you go to France
Already?"
Before Charles could explain, Neville said: "Charles went to France while riding a broomstick and met Aunt Angelina there."
Hermione's eyes widened and she asked Charles in disbelief: "You actually rode a broomstick to France?!"
Charles scratched the back of his head and said: "Haha, I just wanted to go for a ride, but I didn't expect to get lost at sea."
Hermione said angrily: "How can this be done!"
Charles said with a fake smile: "Haha, just on a whim, I will take you with me next time."
As a result, he failed to fool him, and Hermione said sternly: "The Ministry of Magic prohibits underage wizards from using broomsticks to travel long distances! If you are discovered, you will be expelled from Hogwarts, and you may be sent to
Azkaban!"
Speaking of Azkaban, Hermione's perception was that it was just a prison, and she didn't know how scary it was, but Neville couldn't help but shudder after hearing about it since he was a child.
Hermione said angrily: "Besides, there's no way a broomstick can seat two people at once."
Charles smiled and replied: "No problem, I can hang you with a rope... Oops!"
Neville looked at Hermione beating Charles with her fists, and couldn't help but said: "Your relationship is really good."
"Alas..." Charles shook his head and said to Neville, "You don't know, this girl is very competitive, sometimes speaks mercilessly, and often fails to make friends. I have been very worried over the years." "Hey...ladies don't hit people!"
Neville said to Charles speechlessly: "Are you her father?"
While resisting Hermione's fist, Charles said to Neville: "My daughter will not be so unlovable."
The train arrived at the train station amid chatter and laughter. The students' first stop after getting off the bus was to go to the cafeteria for dinner, and then returned to their respective common rooms.
Percy pulled Charles to a corner and asked him in a low voice: "In addition to being able to write many languages, can you also listen and speak?"
Charles immediately replied: "It's okay then, what's the matter?"
Percy said to him: "Professor Dumbledore asked me to ask you, this year's Potions Championship has wizard schools from many countries visiting, it would be great if there could be an extra translator."
Charles immediately agreed: "That's no problem, I can definitely complete the task."
Percy only came to ask questions and deliver messages. After Charles agreed, he was taken to the principal's office and interviewed by Dumbledore himself.
Charles didn't know that when he left, a small pot was knocked on his head.
"You didn't even have Nico Flamel during the holidays?!"
Hermione glared angrily at Harry and Ron in front of her, and had the urge to hit them.
Harry had long realized that something like this would happen, and had already thought of an excuse: "I want to practice the spell that Charles gave me, and I don't have enough time."
Ron also said: "No one can disturb Harry while he is practicing. I have to stand guard."
Hermione was so angry that she was speechless, because the Christmas gift Charles gave her was the same as the one he gave Harry, and he said it on the train this morning.
"We can't relax now!" she said to the two people in front of her, "we must make up for the lost time."
Harry and Ron burst into mourning.
But Harry wailed longer, and Hermione then said another thing: "You actually went to the castle for night walks for several nights in a row?!"
"Oh my God! You boys are so bold. I thought Charles riding a broomstick to France was already outrageous. Who knew you were so outrageous!"
However, the two guys focused on different things.
Harry: "Broomstick?!"
Ron: "France?!"
Hermione decided to ignore them tonight.
On the other side, in the principal's office, Charles looked like he wanted to cry.
In his hand he held a long list of books, all of which were of moderate difficulty in various subjects.
Dumbledore said to him seriously: "There is competition among magic schools. Although you are a translator and a member of the staff, you are also a member of Hogwarts. There will be people with ill intentions who will attack Hogwarts by attacking you."
Gwartz's reputation."
Charles solemnly replied: "Headmaster, I understand what you mean, I will not embarrass Hogwarts."
Dumbledore said to him again: "The disputes at that time were not just verbal, but also violent in private."
"I was notified yesterday that Wagadu Magic School has allowed students from all over the world to engage in free hunting activities, which will also cause competition between schools."
"The announcement of the duel club will be posted tomorrow, and a group of students with strong fighting skills will be selected to go to Wagadu Magic School together."
Charles said that he understood. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Competition between magic schools is all-round. There will inevitably be some deliberate disputes. You can't just ask Dumbledore for everything. Many things need to be solved by the students themselves.
