Carrying a small black suitcase, Luo Fu followed the flow of people and walked slowly towards platform 7?.
This time it went smoothly, until he passed through the wall, no wizard from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures came to routinely check his box.
But think about it, if Rolf goes abroad to Albania, even if he brings a magical creature such as a fire dragon, it will bring disaster to other countries. The British Ministry of Magic hopes that he will leave as soon as possible and never come back.
Next to platform 7, there is a beautiful green train parked. It will depart from London, cross the English Channel, stop in France, then cross the European continent via Paris, and finally arrive at... Constantinople.
On the way, the train will also stop at European cities such as Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Bucharest, and pass through many pure wizard villages.
This green train also has a name that is far more famous than the Hogwarts Express, it's called... the Orient Express.
Of course, the general term used to describe this train is "murder".
The novel "Murder on the Orient Express" created by the witch Agatha Christie caused a huge sensation in the Muggle world. She herself was warned by the Ministry of Magic many times for violating the Statute of Secrecy.
At this time, a group of wizards lined up in a long line and were checking tickets next to the train. Due to the holiday, the platform was particularly crowded, and the crowd pouring through the wall was much larger than usual.
The team moved forward slowly, and when it was Rove's turn, he took out a blue ticket from his pocket.
The person checking the tickets was an old goblin wearing a black uniform. He was short, had a dark face, and wore a monocle. His black eyes shone with a shrewd light, and he stared at all the wizards warily.
After taking the ticket from Luofu, the goblin looked at it carefully, raised his head and asked:
"Are you bringing pets or magical animals? Any animals must be checked in, including toads and rats. If they are carried in your pocket, you must take them out!"
"No." Luofu shook his head and smiled: "I don't like animals, and I never take pets out."
The goblin glanced at the boy, then stared at the passenger's name "Scamander" on the ticket. This was a surname that was almost blacklisted by their company.
Yes, blacklisted... When the Orient Express was first put into operation, the rules and regulations were not yet complete and there were no restrictions on passengers carrying animals.
A Scamander brought a half-sized fire dragon onto the car and burned the roof of the car.
Oriental Railway Company has urgently added regulations to strictly prohibit passengers from carrying dangerous magical creatures. Even ordinary magical creatures must purchase checked services.
However, the shipping service at this time does not have a limit on the number of animals. After all, normal wizards cannot bring many animals.
Another Scamander brought with him a full two hundred Scamanders and twenty Sniffers, and almost tore down the carriage.
Over the centuries since it was put into operation, the Orient Express has continuously added "Scamander Clauses", all targeting this wizard family!
The old goblin raised a long detector and scanned the boy's chest and back from top to bottom, but no magical creature was found.
He placed the box on a brass magic scanner and began to scan the box. A narrow strip of parchment spit out quickly from a hole at the bottom.
It says items in the box have been detected.
The old goblin pulled off the paper and found only towels and clothes, which were daily necessities, and no magical creatures were found.
The old goblin had no choice but to pick up a seal, stamp it on the ticket, and said coldly: "Go in!"
Luofu smiled, picked up the box, and walked towards the train.
The entire Orient Express is divided into luxury viewing rooms, sleeping areas, hard seats and restaurants.
Needless to say, the deluxe viewing room is the most comfortable place in the entire train. It has the personal service of a house elf and is also extremely expensive.
The sleeper berth is much different. It is just a small room with two upper and lower beds. The lower bed can be used as a chair. The upper bed can move up and down. When not in use, it can be pulled to the highest point.
Luo Fu's was a sleeper, but I bought two tickets.
Therefore, this small carriage is only used by him. At night, he can lock the carriages and do what he likes.
After the boy found his compartment and started to tidy up the room, the little red-haired girl in the opposite room poked her head, looked at him curiously, and asked in a crisp voice:
"Are you a student at Hogwarts too?"
"Yes." Luof glanced at the girl and said softly: "You are not a student yet, right?"
There are quite a few students in Hogwarts, but not too many. Among the first and second-year students, Rolf treats the students' pets every day. He knows them all, but they are basically familiar.
He was not impressed by this red-haired girl.
"I won't be able to enter school until next year." The little girl giggled: "My brothers are all studying at Hogwarts. You may know them."
Rolf raised his eyebrows. There were not many wizarding families with several older brothers studying at Hogwarts. They also had red hair... a classic color scheme.
The little girl asked curiously: "Isn't today Hogwarts a holiday? Where are you going?"
"Albania."
“Is Albania far from Romania?”
"It's not too far." Rove said casually: "There is only Serbia in the middle."
The little girl obviously didn’t know what Serbia was, and she didn’t have much idea about geography. She stood at the door of the carriage and jumped up and down:
"Is it dangerous there? My second brother raises dragons there. He wrote a letter saying that he can ride a dragon there. We are going to Romania to visit him this holiday."
"I don't know either, I've never been to Romania." Luof looked at the little girl, blinked, and said with a smile:
"But I can do divination. Do you understand divination? I can figure out your second brother's name. How about you, do you want to bet one galleung?"
"But I only have one knut." The little girl rummaged through her pockets and said pitifully.
"Then forget it, you can keep it to buy candies."
Rolf usually only deceives wealthy little girls like Hermione, and will not deceive little girls with no money. He still has his own bottom line, although he is more flexible.
"Then what do you think my second brother's name is?" the little girl asked, raising her head.
"Your second brother's name is Charlie, and your name is Ginny, right?"
"Wow, your calculations are really accurate! You are so good!" Ginny blinked her big eyes and praised:
"You are much better than Ron. He has cast magic on me before and never succeeded. My mother said he is the fool in our family."
"..."
The little girl twisted her clothes with her hands and whispered: "Have you seen Harry Potter?"
Luo Fu was stunned and said, "I've seen it before."
Ginny asked with great expectation: "Is he as good-looking as you? I had a glimpse of him on the train last year, but I didn't see him clearly."
Rolf coughed and said, "This question is too sharp. You will know it when you meet Harry at school next year."
At this moment, a heartbreaking cry suddenly came from the distant corridor:
"Killed!"
Luo Fu raised his eyebrows, a little excited, it was indeed... the Orient Express!
