Chapter 1 Just got off the train, people are in Azkaban?
London,
kings cross station,
7? Platform.
It was late summer, and the rain was pouring on the eaves, and thin streams of water gurgled down the water tank.
distance,
A green steam train slowed down, accompanied by the sound of its whistle, and finally stopped slowly in front of the platform.
After the train stopped, the door opened and a young man stepped out:
Blonde hair, dark blue eyes, soft facial features, and extraordinary appearance... very much like Leonardo DiCaprio in his youth.
He was carrying a black leather suitcase, which was small but very delicate.
The young man walked out of the platform in the rain, followed the flow of people through a thick wall, and entered the lobby of King's Cross Station.
After only taking a few steps, he was blocked by a group of men in black wearing sunglasses.
This scene attracted the attention of many wizards... With such a huge battle, could it be that a young master from a large pure-blood family returned home?
But after asking around, I found out that it was the Ministry of Magic who was arresting the suspect, and everyone was immediately coaxed to disperse.
The young man stopped, looked at the men in black who surrounded him, narrowed his dark blue pupils, and clutched the small black suitcase in his hand.
The men in black spread out a path, and a rosy-faced Ministry of Magic official came towards them. He took out an ID card from his pocket and waved it gently in the air.
The man's voice was as gentle as possible, as if he was afraid of scaring the young "criminal suspect" in front of him.
"Hello, my name is Amos Diggory, and I work in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."
"Hello, my name is Scamander...Rolf Scamander." The boy nodded politely and asked in a slightly confused tone:
"Mr. Diggory, what do you want from me?"
Diggory looked at Rolf up and down and said in a deep voice:
"According to Article 73 of the Secrecy Act, all wizards traveling across borders must undergo routine inspections... Please cooperate!"
Luofu clenched the small black suitcase tightly with his right hand and seemed a little nervous, but he still smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, looking harmless.
"No problem at all."
The moment the boy took his passport out of his pocket and handed it to Diggory, his pupils suddenly dilated and his heart almost stopped.
It turned out that the lock of the black suitcase suddenly popped open, and a soft tentacle slipped out quietly along the crack.
Fortunately, it was a mimic octopus, with its tentacles attached to the box like a piece of black cloth, so Digory didn't notice anything unusual.
Luofu slowly stuffed the tentacles back into the box and fastened the lock without changing his expression, as if nothing had happened.
After checking the passport, Diggory handed it back to Rolf, pondered for a moment and said, "So Mr. Scamander, what is your purpose of returning to China?"
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry starts today." Rolf's eyes were as calm as possible, and he said softly: "I am a first-year freshman."
I guess so.
He added silently in his mind.
It's true that Rolf is a freshman, but he didn't receive the admission notice to Hogwarts!
Digory narrowed his gray-yellow eyes and looked at Rolf, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but the boy who raised his head smiled slightly at him, his eyes as clear as a pool of clear springs.
"This summer, you have been staying at the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary?"
"We also went to the Albanian forest on the way." Rove quickly added: "With my grandpa."
“Albanian forests?”
"Yes, many magical creatures died mysteriously there, rumored to be caused by vampires or Chupacabras." Rolf shrugged:
"The Ministry of Magic of Albania invited my grandfather to investigate. He is a professional in this field!"
Digory said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions. He obviously didn't care about the incident in distant Albania, and focused all his attention on the boy.
A more accurate statement is... on the box in Scamander's hand!
According to the dusty archives of the Ministry of Magic, it is likely that there are countless dangerous magical creatures hidden in them, enough to destroy the entire London.
Five stars for risk factor!!
Luo Fu looked indifferent, but his heart was not as relaxed and indifferent as he appeared.
He looked very much like a criminal who was stopped by the traffic police and wanted to strictly investigate drunk driving... The key is whether he was really "drinking" or "drinking heavily".
Diggory glanced at the box in Rolf's hand, touched his brown-red beard, and said slowly: "Mr. Scamander, you didn't bring any contraband, did you?"
Luo Fu held the box and subconsciously rubbed it with his thumb and index finger. He said with a 'confused' look on his face:
"for example?"
"The fire dragon in the Romanian reserve, or... the vampire in the Albanian forest?"
"..."
"Mr. Diggory, I am only eleven years old, how could I carry something like that with me? You are so funny!"
Luofu blinked his blue eyes, revealing just the right amount of grievance, which made him look even more pitiable when combined with his innocent appearance.
Smuggling dragons and vampires is no small crime.
Once he is settled, he does not need to go to Hogwarts to go to school. He can directly book a one-way ticket to Azkaban Academy... and continue his "advanced studies" there.
The accompanying female Ministry of Magic official was also vaguely dissatisfied, always feeling that her boss was not very smart.
How could a smuggler be so good-looking... Ahem, she meant a smuggler, how could he have such innocent eyes!
Seeing Luo Fu's innocent and dazed expression, the witch was immediately overflowing with maternal love, and felt so distressed that she wished she could hold him in her arms and show her love.
She looks so good-looking!
Digory was unmoved and continued to ask persistently: "What's in the box?"
"Nothing...daily necessities."
"can I open this?"
"Sorry, this involves my personal privacy, you have no right... Well, I mean, since it is the Ministry of Magic that requires inspection, of course you can."
Seeing Digory touching the wand on his waist, Rolf quickly changed the topic and handed the box over.
Just as he handed it over, he quietly pressed a button on the box.
Digory took the box, immediately opened the lock, opened the lid, and saw: clothes, notebooks, maps, alarm clocks, watches...
He checked repeatedly and asked the man in black behind him to use various detection magics, but found nothing. He could not find the dark layer of the Traceless Stretch Curse or the legendary dangerous magical creatures.
Digory grunted, a little disappointed, as if the bright future of promotion and salary increase was just far away from him.
"Sorry, Mr. Scamander, the check is correct...Welcome back to London. I wish you a happy sorting tonight."
Rolf took a breath, took the small black suitcase, thanked him happily, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Goodbye, Mr. Diggory, and everyone from the Ministry of Magic."
He walked a few steps quickly, and his originally solemn footsteps finally became lighter. Fortunately, someone had used magic to reinforce the box in advance, which could isolate any magic detection, otherwise it would really...
Just got off the train and found myself in Azkaban!
With a hint of joy, Luo Fu carried his small black suitcase and strode towards platform 9?. When there were still more than ten meters left, he stopped again.
Not far away, a brown-haired girl stood alone in front of a wall, with large and small bags of luggage placed side by side, perfectly blocking the entrance to the platform.
The girl crossed her arms across her chest, raised her head, stared blankly for a moment, carefully took out a wand, waved it in the air, and muttered a spell.
"Open the Alajo Cave!"
Just no response.
The girl immediately muttered words again and quickly recited other spells, but they had no effect.
She scratched her hair angrily, and her already fluffy curls became more and more messy, as if she had just been sniffed into a vault.
A voice suddenly sounded. "Are you performing an impromptu show?"
The brown-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then turned around to follow the voice and saw a young man with a smile on his face. He looked extremely good-looking.
He was carrying a small black leather suitcase and looking at her with interest with a pair of blue eyes that spoke well.
The girl hesitated and asked tentatively: "Are you also a wizard?"
"Yes, this year's freshmen." Luo Fei adjusted his clothes, showed the brightest smile on his face, and walked slowly towards the girl.
Make a good impression on your new classmates!
"Are you performing the wand dance? I haven't been back to England for a long time. Is this a new trend in the wizarding world recently? It's quite interesting..."
The brown-haired girl's face suddenly turned red. "I'm using magic to find the entrance to platform 9?"
"..."
"Sorry, I thought you were performing... street art." Luofu apologized quickly.
The girl glared at him angrily, that was her standard spell-casting action!
standard!!
"Then have you found the entrance?" Rove asked again.
The girl hesitated for a moment, raised her white chin, and lightly nodded: "Absolutely!"
Rolf glanced at her suspiciously. You were gesturing with your wand for a long time, as if you were directing traffic... Are you sure you have found the entrance?
"Give me a little more time, and I'll find it soon." The girl seemed confident. She stretched her neck, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously:
"Let me tell you, according to my speculation...the entrance to platform 9? was deliberately hidden by the school. If you want to enter, you must pass a series of tests."
Test...Rolf was stunned for two seconds, looking at the girl's confident expression, which made him feel a little unconfident.
Did I remember it wrong? Didn't I just go through the wall in front of me and enter Platform 9?
"Well...why would the school do this?" Luo Fe raised his eyebrows.
"Of course it is to test the new students and then sort them into different schools based on their performance... You always know the different schools, right?" The brown-haired girl said matter-of-factly with a small face:
"I read in "Hogwarts: A History" that every new student must be sorted into houses."
"If you can use magic to find the entrance to the 9? platform, you probably perform well and can be assigned to the best academy!"
Seeing the doubtful look in the boy's eyes, the girl raised her eyebrows and said confidently:
"Don't believe it, I just performed magic to show my study during the summer vacation... I tried some simple spells at home just for practice, but they all worked!"
She raised her chin, as proudly as a big white goose, and spoke a lot like a barrage of words, as if she was eager to prove:
She is not a ridiculous fool who performs the "magic wand dance", but an outstanding freshman who understands the school's intentions and tries to complete the test!
After listening to the girl's excited thoughts, Luo Fu said meaningfully: "Are you thinking too much?"
"Why are you overthinking it!" the girl pouted: "I bought a lot of magic books during the holidays, and I can memorize all the textbooks!!"
"Wow... you are so awesome." Luo Fu nodded slightly, "But what does it have to do with the entrance to the platform?"
"..."
The brown-haired girl pursed her lips, puffed out her cheeks, and clenched her fists. Her tone sounded like she wanted to hit someone!
Seeing that she was getting angry, Luo Fu hurriedly said: "I seem to have found the entrance."
The girl's face was full of disbelief.
"Really, this... unknown lady, if you don't believe me, let's bet a galleon!"
Luofu carried the black leather suitcase, crossed the girl's luggage, and walked towards the wall. Under her gaze, he walked straight through the wall.
The brown-haired girl's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face. The last time she showed this expression was when she received an admission notice from an owl.
A moment later, Rolf walked through the wall again, with only his head exposed.
"If you lose, you will receive a galleon." He grinned and said, "By the way, I forgot to ask, this classmate... what is your name?"
The girl's expression was a little dull. After a moment, she whispered:
"Hermione Granger."
The young man carrying the black box was stunned. He narrowed his blue eyes and the smile on his lips became wider.
"Hello, my name is Rolf Scamander!" Rolf stretched out a hand and gently raised it in front of the girl.
"First meeting, welcome to the magical world!"
Hermione also stretched out a hand and shook it gently, and there was a sudden "ding" in Rove's brain.
