Chapter 141 The King's Station and the Cute Little Wizard
1938/9/1
There are people coming and going at King's Cross Station in London, and Muggles and wizards with suitcases walk through it.
"Oh~ there are a lot of strange people today." The Muggle conductor muttered softly as he watched another adult man wearing a lady's lace hat walk by.
"There seem to be too many people today." A passenger who was standing next to the conductor who was just about to wait for the bus echoed, "There are usually not so many people at this time, you must know that today is Thursday, oh...in fact, there are no people even on weekends." So many people."
As soon as Muggles were about to become suspicious, a man wearing a windbreaker and a wide brim suddenly pulled out a small wooden stick from the pocket of the windbreaker in the blind spot of everyone's sight, and then shouted in a low voice: "Obliviate (Forget everything)."
A white light imperceptible under the bright light hit the Muggle conductor, and then another identical white light followed and sank into the passenger's body.
They were stunned at first, and then, as if they had forgotten something suddenly, they looked at each other in a daze, turned their heads and searched around, and finally found nothing. One wanted to continue working, and the other was anxious to wait for the bus. Just put the moment of wrongness behind me
In order to facilitate Hogwarts students to go to school, former Minister of Magic Ottaline Gamble requisitioned a Muggle train and built a small railway station in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade.
However, the Ministry of Magic has been slow to find a way to build a wizarding railway station in central London without attracting the attention of Muggles.
In 1849, after Evangeline Orpington, then Minister of Magic, took office, she accidentally thought of building a hidden platform in the newly built King's Cross Station that only wizards and wizards could enter.
Overall, the scheme has worked well, but there have been some hiccups over the ensuing years
Wizards and wizards, for example, sometimes drop their suitcases on the floor, scattering spellbooks that bite or salamander spleens;
Therefore, when Hogwarts started school and holidays, there were always some Ministry of Magic employees in plain clothes at the station, modifying Muggle memories when necessary.
This time the suspicion of the Muggle conductor and the Muggle passengers was a small crisis.
……
"This is it." Afu took Tom to the third pillar between the ninth and tenth platforms of the King's Cross platform. "Through the pillar, you can reach platform nine and three-quarters."
The Muggle-born freshman who was wandering around the ninth and tenth platforms and couldn't find platform nine and three-quarters, after hearing Afu's words, his expression full of hesitation and anxiety froze at first, and then Then his eyes lit up.
Afu saw some turnip heads pushing small carts around, and said to Tom: "Tom goes in first, sister will follow later."
"Maybe some little wizards need help."
Tom didn't need to think about it to know that Aff wanted to stay and use the position of platform nine and three-quarters to rub those little Muggle-born wizards.
Tom doesn't want to listen.
Tom also needs the help of his sister to accompany him into the platform.
But what can Tom do?
"Yes, sister," Tom heard himself say.
So Tom had no choice but to pick up the small suitcase that had been cast with a weight loss spell and a traceless extension spell, and walked slowly towards the partition wall.
"what……"
"call--"
Some of the young witches who were quietly watching Tom and Afu saw Tom "bumping" towards the partition wall, and they either closed their eyes unbearably, or took a breath of cold air, or felt the pain in their throats. There were several exclamations of unknown meaning.
Then they watched as Tom's body was gradually "swallowed" by the pillar.
Little wizards:! ! !
The magical scene in front of them made these little wizards who had just come into contact with the magical world of magic a few months ago once again surprised and delighted by the wonder of magic.
"That..." The little wizard's hesitant voice attracted Afu's attention, "Ma'am, is Platform Nine and Three Quarters here?"
Little wizard!It's a cute little wizard I've never seen before!It is the fresh blood of the wizarding world!
Afu tried her best to control the upward arc of her mouth, so as not to laugh too wildly, and tried her best to maintain a gentle and kind smile.
"It's right here~" Afu pointed to the partition wall and the little wizard not far in front of him and introduced, "It's the third pillar between the ninth platform and the tenth platform."
The little wizard who just watched Tom walk into the partition wall didn't doubt Afu's words, but his eyes sparkled and he wanted to speak: "This——"
Suddenly realizing that his voice might be a bit loud, the little wizard hurriedly wandered around as if he was guilty of a thief, and then tried to lower his voice and continued: "Is this because of magic?"
The rest of the Muggle-born wizards and their parents, who were secretly poking around and paying attention to Afu, also stared at Afu expectantly.
"Yes~" Afu lowered her voice, deliberately cooperating with the little wizard's careful actions, "The pillar is enchanted, and it is the station to Hogwarts inside."
"And because of the Muggle Repelling Curse, the Muggles will automatically ignore the little wizard's action of entering the partition." Afu explained, "You can bring your parents in together, so that they won't be disturbed by the Muggles. The expulsion spell ignores this."
"Thank you, ma'am!" The cute little wizard tried to stand on tiptoe, and then quickly pecked Afu on the cheek.
Afu, who bent down because she wanted to "whisper" with the little wizard, was attacked by surprise.
Before Afu could react, the little wizard blushed like a big apple.
The little wizard shyly pulled his fluffy skirt and ran away, towards the direction of the parents.
The little wizard who ran to the parents looked shyly and anxiously at Afu from time to time.
Afu looked at the cute back of the little wizard running away like a bunny in a daze, and subconsciously touched the place on the cheek where the little wizard kissed with her fingertips, a gentle and brilliant arc bloomed on Afu's mouth, she His brows and eyes are curved, as if he has encountered something unexpected and happy.
