Chapter 168 Knight Bus
Chapter 168 Knight Bus
After hearing the news that Fawcett House had been empty for a long time, Halia pretended to be calm, trying to hide her bewilderment: she was alone in such an almost unfamiliar magical village, and might be followed by Death Eaters , and the magic on her still doesn't work from time to time.
Halia squeezed out a smiling face and asked the vendor in front of her if it was convenient to catch a real bus nearby. She was going to Diagon Alley.Yes, in this case, she had to find a way to go to the environment she was familiar with first.Even if they are not so familiar, they will be much safer than this magic village.
The vendor looked at the little witch in front of him, then turned his head to look at a few strange wizards walking towards the stall, pointed to the path not far away, and told the little witch in front of him that it was enough to just wave his wand on the side of the road.
Halia was about to nod her head to thank her, when she saw the face of the vendor in front of her change, and waved at her impatiently: "What are you looking at, if you don't want to buy something, go away quickly. ——Do you two have anything you want to buy?"
Hearing the cue from the street vendor, Halia knew that the wizards following her were approaching.He hurriedly walked to the path pointed out by the vendor just now, took out his magic wand, and waved it anxiously.But the Knight Bus didn't show up right away.
Those wizards who were following her also noticed that something was wrong with her and wanted to follow her.But Halia heard the voice of the vendor from behind: "Are you really not looking anymore? This is a specialty of Ottery St. Catchpole Village. Look at the needlework of this hat, the pattern of the scarf... ..."
Finally, with a bang, a pair of huge wheels stopped in front of Halia.Halia looked up at the three-story bus in front of her. On the windshield of the front window was written in golden letters: Knight Bus.
Halia hurried into the car.
"Welcome to ride..."
"I'm going to Diagon Alley." Halia took out a few Nats from her pocket, turned her head nervously, and saw a strange wizard not far away pushing away the vendor and striding towards her direction , Halia hurriedly said to the conductor, "Can you please hurry up? I'm in a hurry."
"Okay, Ern, let's move on. By the way, my name is Stan Sampak." The conductor said, closing the door, and then glanced at the copper nut in Halia's hand, "However, Ten Sickles in Diagon Alley, madam. What's your name?"
"Uh, Dudley, you can just call me 'Dudley'. Stan, I'm looking for Silver Sickle now." Halia saw the two anxious wizards who were quickly left behind by the car, and turned to Stan in front of him. He smiled, and then took out the silver Sickle from his pocket and handed it to Stan in front of him.
Stan looked not much older than Halia, looked at the witch in front of him, and commented to himself: "I just came back from Hogwarts and I'm going to help my family buy Christmas items? - Ern, we Received Dali's fare." Stan took the silver Sickle.
Halia nodded at Stan, and walked upstairs. When she reached the third floor, Halia saw a hooded figure watching the Knights from the distance through the window. car.Scared, Halia hastily closed the curtains next to the car window.
Probably because of Christmas, there weren't many passengers on the Knight bus.Halia soon heard Stan remind herself: "Diagon Alley is coming, Darley."
Halia was hesitating along the way. She should have gotten rid of the few people who were following her now, so now should she go back to Hogwarts, or go to 12 Grimmauld Place, and tell everyone about Lordana, who has never heard from her? , sent her a fake letter.
Therefore, when Halia heard Stan's reminder, she said loudly: "Excuse me, I have to go to King's Cross Station first."
Stan understood it very well: "That will add five silver Sickles, please come down to make up the ticket, Dali."
When Halia walked up to Stan and handed the silver Sickle to Stan, she heard Stan joke to herself: "Have you quarreled with the family on the first day of the Christmas holiday?" Halia felt that the conductor was a little too hot Network, smiled awkwardly.
At this time, another old wrinkled witch slowly got into the car, and she told Stan that she was going to St. Mungo's.At the same time handed Stan some silver Sickles.
Stan counted the silver Sickles he handed over, and told the old woman in front of him that they would send "Dally" to King's Cross Station first.
After hearing Stan's words, the old woman turned her head to look at Halia, then looked at Stan again, and nodded.
Halia felt that the witch who got on the bus in Diagon Alley in front of her was a bit familiar, but she didn't want to cause other troubles, so she walked back to her previous position.She planned to go back to Hogwarts, find Snape, and ask him what he meant by "bringing brains" to her earlier.
Was Lordana's letter torn up?So Fawcett House is not safe?Or has there been no news from Lordana, and her letter was actually forged by someone else?
Halia shook her head, clueless.At this time, she noticed that the old silver-haired witch who got into the car before was sitting beside her.
"Leah, are you going to King's Cross Station? Won't you go back to 12 Grimmauld Place with me?" The voice didn't match the old state I heard just now.
Halia turned her head in surprise, and saw the old man next to her, whose hair color changed from silver gray to pink in an instant, and then back to silver gray again.Halia was both happy and surprised: "Tonks?"
The old man in front of him signaled Halia not to speak loudly, but nodded with a smile, and said in an old voice: "Leah, you know, it's rare for someone to run away from Kingsley's nose."
"What?" Halia didn't understand the meaning of Tonks' words, but she took out her wand and pointed at the person opposite, "Sorry, but I need to confirm my identity first. When we first met, your What color is the hair?"
Tonks was obviously stopped by Halia's serious attitude, and for a moment he didn't even pretend to be an old voice, and complained in her original voice: "Why do you look like Mad-Eye!"
But soon he whispered again in an old voice: "My hair changes several colors every day... I think, when we first met, we were in a meeting. If it was a meeting, purple?"
Halia nodded, and the way Tonks muttered to herself when answering her question, Halia could confirm that it was Tonks.Halia put down her wand: "Tonks, it's your turn next."
Tonks shook his head noncommittally: "Leah, Mad-Eye will like your vigilance very much. Are you in the seventh grade this year? Do you want to consider becoming an Auror? — Leah, we met for the first time What were you holding in your hand when you
"My summer vacation luggage, and Violetta from Loldana." Halia finished speaking, and then followed up with Tonks' advice on her career, "I haven't considered Auror, but I hope to think of Loldana Be a running reporter like that.—Is Lordana back?"
"You can ask her yourself?" The old witch smiled mysteriously.
