Hearing this, Xing Ze understood. Benson believed that Bowman, as a potion scholar, should not make such a stupid mistake.
"I would also like to remind you, old gentleman, spider kisses are not common. I think even a potion expert will rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with them."
"Yes, that's why I suspect that there is more than one person who committed the crime." Benson looked at Xing Ze meaningfully.
While talking, the two of them walked to Car No. 3. This is a public car with no obstructions between seats. Because of its low price, it is very popular with students and people from the lower classes.
When Xing Ze walked into the car, the prefects of the college were calming down the excited students. Obviously, most of the freshmen were not affected by the abnormal weather. They were still excited and even thought that the blizzard was the result of magic.
Several children from wizarding families were bragging about some strange things in the magical world, and the children from Muggle families listened with interest.
In the chaotic carriage, a young man with fair skin and handsome appearance stood out. Judging from his robes, he should be a prefect of Hufflepuff.
Cedric Diggory? Xing Ze recognized him at a glance because he almost looked the same as in the movie.
This handsome and somewhat childish young man is trying his best to calm the students down.
Unfortunately, he himself was surrounded by a group of chatty girls. Judging from the bitter and helpless expression on his face, these girls had probably been pestering him for a long time.
According to Hogwarts' past traditions, freshmen will enter school on September 1st, while senior students will have to enroll a few days earlier. They will be assigned some simple tasks to reduce the burden on teachers.
Some of the prefects will be sent to pick up new students. Although this is a troublesome task, it is still quite popular, not only because it can add points to the college, but more importantly, the selected ones are undoubtedly deeply loved by the teachers.
Recognition.
Probably noticing Xing Ze's gaze, Cedric raised his head and looked over. After seeing the person clearly, he smiled and nodded kindly.
The two continued to walk forward. Like the No. 4 carriage where Xing Ze was located, the No. 2 carriage was also cast a traceless stretching spell, but the difference was that the compartments here were not only used.
Under normal circumstances, it can accommodate four people, and if there is a peak period, it can also squeeze in six people.
When they reached the middle of the carriage, one of the compartment doors suddenly opened, and Xing Ze jumped back quickly to avoid being hit.
Immediately afterwards, two red-haired children emerged from the compartment. They looked almost identical.
"Hey, idiot, come and catch me." One of them shouted loudly, while the other giggled happily. The two did not stay any longer, but ran quickly towards the No. 1 carriage.
Not long after, a young man with the same red hair rushed out of the compartment angrily. His robe was stained with green mucus, and he looked miserable.
"You can't run around on the train, George, Fred, for Merlin's sake, I've had enough of you two!"
It’s an acquaintance again. Xing Ze smiled, he’s a Weasley twin, so it’s not hard to guess the other redhead, the twins’ third brother, Patsy Weasley.
A low-pitched curse came from behind Xing Ze, and then the twins running in front lifted their feet off the ground and floated like balloons.
Benson moved the wand in his hand, and Fred and George floated back to Percy with a scream.
"Prefect, you have to take good care of the students." Benson said to Patsy. When the old man turned his face down, he was full of majesty. Not many people would like to be lectured by him. Even the twins who always love to laugh.
Closed his mouth.
Poor Percy blushed and couldn't stop nodding his head to apologize. Xing Ze cast a "quick cleaning spell" on Percy, and the green mucus on his robe suddenly gathered into a ball. He flicked it casually, and the clump of mucus was accurately
It was thrown into the trash can in the hallway.
Percy looked at Xing Ze gratefully. He was about to say thank you when one of the twins whispered: "Hey, nice technique, I bet you must have participated in the Quidditch game."
"Unfortunately, no, I only stayed at Hogwarts for three years, and I'm not used to flying around." Xing Ze replied with a smile.
"You should join, it feels good to fly in the sky." The other twin interjected.
"Quiet, boys." Benson interrupted the conversation angrily, "Listen to your prefects, or I will go to the school to have a good chat with your dean."
After he finished speaking, he waved his magic wand again, and the twins immediately fell to the ground. They rubbed their buttocks and fled into the compartment in despair.
The farce in the aisle attracted many onlookers, and people in other rooms opened their doors to watch.
Among them, Xing Ze saw the boy who survived - Harry Potter, and Ron and Hermione beside him.
He looks almost the same as in the movie. Xing Ze sighed in his heart, it seems that the corpse eaters haven't had time to attack him yet.
Benson shouted to the onlookers: "Go back, kids, there's nothing to see!"
Perhaps it was his stern voice or his gloomy expression that frightened those students back to their rooms.
"It seems that you are not very popular with children." Xing Ze laughed at Benson.
Benson didn't reply, but gestured forward with his chin, and Xing Ze shrugged boredly and continued walking forward.
When passing Harry Potter's compartment, Xing Ze secretly wrote down the compartment number.
…
The train stopped shortly after they stepped out of Car No. 2. With a rapid shaking and a harsh whistle, the entire train was forced to stop in the wind and snow.
Benson cursed under his breath and urged Xing Ze to speed up the pace, and the two of them soon arrived at the conductor's room.
"Benson, tell me this is not true. How could Bowman kill someone? This guy is not even willing to kill a mouse."
Conductor Balk almost jumped in front of Benson, his lips kept trembling and veins popped out in the hand holding the pipe.
"I don't want to believe it, Balk, but it's true."
The conductor touched his white hair angrily and continued after a moment of silence: "Damn it, I have to have a drink. Dylan and Shovel will tell you the details."
While they were talking, Xing Ze found an inconspicuous corner to stay. While observing the people in the office, he studied the small jar smuggled out of Allen's bag.
There were two people in blue uniforms standing by the window. They should be the train's mechanics. The taller of the two said: "The wind and snow are too heavy and the visibility is too low. We can't continue moving forward."
Already."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing on the other side immediately said: "The magic telegraph is still unavailable. I hope people at New Ravenska Station will notice the snowstorm."
"Don't count on them, Dylan." The train conductor interrupted, "With such a heavy snowstorm, even using Apparition would be difficult, let alone impossible."
