King's Cross Station, between platforms nine and ten.
People were coming and going around, and the heroic girl with blond hair and blue eyes was milling around here biting her lip.
No one around seemed to see this girl at all. No one came forward to help for more than ten minutes. Her eyes were almost red with worry. The sound of suitcase rollers mopping the floor was heard not far away. The heroic girl with blonde hair and blue eyes came to her.
His eyes lit up when he saw the visitor.
"Hello, are you going to Hogwarts too?"
The heroic girl with blond hair and blue eyes asked expectantly.
"how do you know?"
The visitor said in surprise.
"No one around here can see us."
The heroic girl with blond hair and blue eyes explained, "We are like invisible people here. I guess magic must have been released here, but I have searched all over the place and can't find platform nine and three-quarters?"
"So that's it."
The visitor smiled and grabbed the right hand of the heroic girl with blond hair and blue eyes, and then pulled her to run towards a pillar in front. In a flash, the two of them had passed through the wall pillar and arrived at a platform where an ancient steam train was parked.
"It turns out he was going to run away."
The heroic girl with blond hair and blue eyes opened her mouth wide.
"Yes! If you walk slowly, you will bump into it and be unable to get over. The constant spell will prevent ordinary people without magic power from seeing our weird actions."
The girl with wavy blond hair raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Thank you, senior sister, I am Jessica Gladstone."
The heroic girl with blond hair and blue eyes extended her hand.
"Hermione Granger, I'm a year older than you."
The girl with wavy blond hair stretched out her hand and shook it with Jessica.
Two girls of similar age soon chatted together, especially Hermione who was very friendly to the new school girls she met. She didn't have any familiar female friends at Hogwarts. When Jessica offered to become a friend with her,
As a friend, I happily agreed.
"They didn't come in from the platform."
As she spoke, Jessica suddenly asked curiously.
Hermione was slightly silent, of course she knew what was going on.
In the entire Hogwarts, there are only a handful of families who are truly from Muggle families. Although there are not many pure bloods, the rest are basically all schools where at least one of the parents is a wizard. The real parents are both Muggles.
Can't find much.
Because of this, other students basically came to platform nine and three-quarters through other methods.
For example, you can throw floo powder directly into the fireplace at home, shout out your destination and jump into the fireplace, and you can immediately emerge from the fireplace at your destination. With such a convenient transportation method, you don't need to enter from King's Cross Station.
It would come in from outside, just because my parents are Muggles and there is no teleportation fireplace in the house.
Or if you just want to experience it, you will come from King's Cross Station. Jessica doesn't even know how to get in without her parents. Obviously, Jessica's parents are just ordinary people like her.
Thinking of this, Hermione suddenly felt more comfortable looking at her new friend.
After listening to Hermione's explanation, Jessica looked like she suddenly understood.
Then he began to ask about Hogwarts. Hermione happily introduced all the interesting things about Hogwarts without being bored at all. The two girls chatted about the crimson steam train that sounded the whistle to get on.
.
At this moment, Hermione heard a voice behind her.
She and Jessica came from King's Cross Station and stood on the edge. The person who appeared from behind them must also have come from King's Cross Station. They came here at this time. Without thinking, they knew that they must be Harry and Ron, the two late arrivals.
"ha……"
Hermione turned around and said a word and immediately couldn't speak any more.
It was not Harry and Ron, but a handsome young man wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat. He looked oriental and there was no child beside him. There was a looming crow standing on his shoulder, and you knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary creature.
"It seems I'm not too late."
Zhao Mu looked at Hermione and Jessica and then looked at the Hogwarts Express train.
"Who are you?"
Hermione asked out of curiosity.
"You are students, right? I am Rowan, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
Zhao Mu took off his hat and stretched out his hand.
Hermione subconsciously shook her hand nervously, and then realized that the older brother said that he was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
But how is this possible? Snape, the youngest professor in the history of Hogwarts, is already in his thirties. How can this elder brother, who looks like he is only in his early twenties at most, become a professor?
"I'm serious!"
Zhao Mu took out the Hogwarts appointment letter from his pocket and handed it to Hermione.
Hermione opened it and took a closer look, her mouth wide open in surprise. She was really a professor and taught Defense Against the Dark Arts. Ever since she almost died when she met Voldemort in the first grade, she had been very interested in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
"Hello, Professor Rowan, I am Hermione Granger, a second-year student."
Hermione said nervously.
"Get in the car first. We can chat slowly in the car. I also want to know more about Hogwarts."
Zhao Mu smiled.
"Ah! Okay."
Hermione pulled Jessica in front, and Zhao Mu followed. The ticket inspector at the train gate checked the Hogwarts appointment letter, and even asked respectfully if he wanted to go to the professor's exclusive carriage. Zhao Mu nodded and called.
Hermione and Jessica went together.
Sitting on the spacious and soft seat of the professor's carriage, Hermione was restless and hesitated to speak.
"Just say whatever you want to ask!"
Zhao Mu smiled.
"Are you from abroad?"
Hermione held back something, she actually wanted to ask how the Defense Against the Dark Arts class would unfold.
But when the words came to my mouth, I felt that it was too rash to ask, so I changed my words.
"No, I grew up in this country and never left."
Zhao Mu smiled.
"How could this happen..."
Hermione lost her voice.
Not just any wizard can serve as a professor at Hogwarts. Such powerful wizards have more or less reputations. She thinks that she knows all the outstanding wizards in the British wizarding world. If Professor Rowan is not
There is no reason why she has never heard of it from abroad.
"I used to be a witcher."
Zhao Mu shrugged.
"Witcher?"
Hermione was confused.
"They are the witchers who were specialized in hunting witches in the church hundreds of years ago."
Zhao Mu stretched out his finger and tapped Hermione's eyebrows.
Hermione was startled and looked in disbelief. She knew that the wizard won the war between the wizard and the church. The book said that the church's witchers had already become extinct. Besides, how could they become Hogwarts if they were really witchers?
professor.
"I'm really a witcher, but I'm also a wizard."
Suddenly, a black crystal-like wand appeared in Zhao Mu's hand and was placed on the train table.
Various delicious snacks appeared on the table. With a click of the wand, two little rabbit-shaped snacks levitated and flew in front of Hermione and Jessica. They carefully caught the snacks and couldn't bear to eat them for a while.
.
"Go ahead and eat, I made this myself and there are many more."
Zhao Mu invited.
Hermione was finally attracted by the aroma and took a bite. The soft and sweet texture melted in her mouth. There was no dryness in her mouth like other snacks. The sweetness was just right and not greasy at all.
These are just the beginning, the most delicious moment is when the snack is swallowed.
The whole person seemed to be wrapped in the warm sunshine, and the original restraint was swept away. The whole person seemed to be on the prairie and could smell the scent of nature. It took several minutes to come back to reality, but he didn't react at all.
I was intoxicated for a few minutes.
