After Ryan changed into his school uniform as required, he kept thinking about the previous question: What kind of transportation will Hogwarts use to transport students so that they can cross the vast Atlantic Ocean and go around half the world to Castrobu in South America? Lu Shuo. He even discussed this issue with Hermione.
During the discussion, Apparition and Portkeys were the first to be considered impossible, because Ryan recalled the styles of the two schools during the Triwizard Tournament in the original book, and felt that Hogwarts would not adopt such an unreasonable approach. A way to show off. After all, as a prestigious school with a thousand years of history, it is impossible not to show off on such occasions when you need to show off.
Not to mention that both Apparition and Portkeys have limits, otherwise the Quidditch World Cup spectators in the original book could have arrived at the same time in a short time, instead of someone even needing to arrive weeks in advance.
The second one is considered impossible to be a flying carpet, broomstick and floo network for the same reason as the first one. These things are similar to Muggle motorcycles and trucks. Can you imagine taking the Cambridge and Oxford study tour groups to other schools for exchanges? , do professors and students go there by themselves on motorcycles or in the bed of a truck?
And the schools in the wizarding world are not open to the use of Muggle transportation. Imagine that a group of people from Hogwarts take a plane to Brazil, and Castro Brusso School sends someone to pick them up at the airport with a sign. Ryan feels that that The picture is too beautiful to look at.
In the end, it was just that he thought that Hogwarts would have its own unique means of transportation, but Ryan really didn't expect that Hogwarts would choose the Hogwarts Express, which seemed to lack a sufficient sense of history, as its means of transportation.
Amidst the sound of steam coming out, the Hogwarts Express stopped at the edge of the platform. Ryan saw Principal Dumbledore, Minister of Magic Fudge, four deans of colleges and several Ministry of Magic officials with reporters. Get off the car.
Seeing them arriving on the platform, the students quickly stood up and lined up on the platform. At this time, Ryan discovered that among the students on the platform, there were only two students from Gryffindor House and two from Hufflepuff House, and the rest were Four Ravenclaws and four Slytherins. As expected, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were still a little weaker in terms of exams.
Next came Fudge's speech, which was full of nonsense claiming the importance of communication and highlighting the important role of the Ministry of Magic. Ryan almost fell asleep listening to it.
Finally Fudge finished his speech, and Ryan was so excited that he applauded with everyone, while the reporter from the Daily Prophet on the side quickly captured the scene with his camera.
Next came Dumbledore's speech. The principal's speech was much shorter than that of the minister, and it ended within a few minutes. Naturally, Ryan gave more applause to the principal than to the minister sincerely.
After all the speeches were over, it was time for everyone to board the bus. This time the school sent Professor Sprout as the team leader, and Kettleburn, who just retired this year, as the accompanying professor. Under their leadership, the little wizards pulled He boarded the Hogwarts Express with his luggage.
After everyone got on the car from the door of the first carriage, Ryan discovered that the decoration in the car was completely different from usual. The private rooms on the car disappeared, and the carriage turned into a small public room, with representatives of It is decorated with the four colors of the four houses. There is also a large Hogwarts school emblem hanging on the wall.
When everyone just entered the carriage, they heard the dull sound of the door closing. As the whistle sounded, the train slowly started to run on the track. Suddenly, a feeling of overweight came, and several senior students nearby let out a startled sound.
There was a whirring sound. Ryan looked through the window in the direction of their fingers and was surprised to find that the train had broken off the tracks and started flying into the sky.
Come to think of it, there is no railway in London that can go all the way to Castrobruzzo, so the Hogwarts Express must have another way to travel. Everyone exclaimed, but they didn't know that the Hogwarts Express would use this method.
I had to hurry on my way, so I was surprised when the train suddenly took off.
As for the flying itself, it is not that amazing. For example, Mr. Weasley can create a flying car by himself. It is normal for the flying mode to be the crystallization of the wisdom of the entire British wizarding community.
A few minutes later, the Hogwarts Express reached the predetermined height and began to fly smoothly. At this time, Professor Sprout also called everyone back from the car window to start making arrangements.
"Okay, everyone, pay attention." When Professor Sprout saw that everyone had walked into the lounge, he said to the little wizards below: "You can see at the end of this common room there are four
There are four doors in the college. You go to the corresponding carriage according to your college. The room has been arranged, and your name is on each bedroom door. Before departure, you first go to your house to put your luggage.
Then come and gather here.”
After listening to Professor Sprout's instructions, Ryan walked to the door representing Gryffindor, and then turned the brass doorknob with a roaring lion embossed on the door.
The door opened, and Ryan was surprised to find that in front of him was the corridor of the train carriage, all decorated in gold and red. After dragging his luggage and walking into the door, he found that on the right was the train window glass, through which he could see the people standing on the platform.
On the left hand side is a wall panel covered with red velvet wallpaper. There is a row of oil lamps used for lighting. Through the glass cover, you can see that there are not flames inside, but some transparent stones emitting white light.
There are two rooms in this carriage belonging to Gryffindor House, belonging to Ryan and Hermione respectively. Opening the door with his name written on it in bronze and walking into the room, Ryan saw that this dormitory was similar to his own in Hogwarts.
The dormitory was almost the same, just a little smaller.
Neville's letter previously mentioned that the Hogwarts Express has two carriages, one of which is used for long-distance travel, but it has not been used for decades. However, Ryan discovered that whether it was for the rest just now
The room, or the current room, does not have the dilapidated feeling that it has been left for decades. Instead, it looks like it was cleaned yesterday. This should be attributed to those hard-working house elves. At least Ryan feels that the furniture in the room is
Patches should only form after careful maintenance over a long period of time.
Obviously, this train is used as the facade of Hogwarts, and it is not as simple as it seems. Whether it is the lounges and dormitories that look inconsistent with the external space, or the various furnishings throughout the train that give people
Such a sense of harmony as it should be, all reflects the heritage of a thousand-year-old famous school.
When everyone put away their luggage and rushed to the lounge, they were surprised to find that the coffee table and sofa that had been placed in the lounge were all gone. A long table occupied the center of the lounge, surrounded by a series of
The high-back armchairs make the lounge look more like the Great Hall of Hogwarts.
Professor Sprout sat on the chair at the head of the table and said to the little wizards: "Okay, everyone, sit on the chairs. We still have a lot to do on this journey."
