Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 21 The Journey That Begins

Lien, who was fascinated by the book, suddenly felt a shaking, and then the whole station seemed to be slowly retreating.

It was eleven o'clock, and the Hogwarts Express started.

Hermione also put down the book in her hand and looked out the window. She was about to step into the magical world soon.

"Rin, what do you think the entrance ceremony at Hogwarts will be like?" Hermione held her chin and looked out of the window in a daze.

"I don't know, but I won't let you go back anyway." Li En was not interested in this topic, and knowing the original book, he didn't have the slightest emotion for all the things that were destined to happen.

However, he also followed the tradition of concealing the sorting ceremony from newly admitted young wizards, and did not reveal any information to Hermione.

Hermione sighed, and said worriedly: "Of course I know that Hogwarts won't keep little wizards from enrolling. I'm worried about how they will use to separate the colleges we need to go to."

Before Rin could speak, Hermione continued, "I just heard a little wizard say that we need to face a fire dragon alone, and some say it's a female ghost, all kinds of mess."

Hermione scratched her head a little irritably, and her fluffy hair became even more fluffy after being scratched like this.

Seeing the little girl whining, Li En couldn't help laughing.

"What! Am I funny?" Hermione frowned, staring at Rin with wide eyes.

Rin stopped laughing after a few laughs, and replied, "Hermione, you're just a little wizard, and it's impossible to deal with fire dragons and female ghosts. Most little wizards don't even master a single spell now, and the school won't let you You go to deal with those powerful monsters."

"How do you know that none of the new students have mastered spells? Maybe those wizarding families use this method to suppress us wizards from the Muggle world..." Hermione said to herself, and the more she said, the more she said. With confidence, Hermione felt that she had touched the truth of the wizarding world.

"By the way, where's Pais?"

"I just flew out, I don't know where I went." Hermione spread her hands and said helplessly.

Lien opened the book in his hand and replied casually: "Don't worry about it, he will be back at dinner time."

But a voice interrupted his movements.

"That... sorry... May I ask if there are still seats here... other... other places are full..." a chubby little wizard stood at the door and said timidly.

He has a round face and holds a toad in his hand.

Hermione obviously saw the toad in his hand, and looked a little disgusted.

Lean stared at Neville for a long time, which made Neville a little embarrassed. When he wanted to talk about finding a place again, Lean spoke.

"You can sit here, but you have to keep an eye on your toad." After Lean finished speaking, he turned his attention to the book in his hand.

Hermione looked at the toad in Neville's hand, thought for a while, picked up the book in her hand and moved it to Rian's side, giving up a seat on one side.

"Thank you... really thank you all..."

After Neville stammered, he began to move things into the compartment.

Neville had a lot of things, three or four boxes were packed, each of which was a large suitcase.

However, these large boxes were still too heavy for an 11-year-old wizard, so Neville could only drag the boxes in.

The sound of the box being dragged on the ground drilled into Lean's ears, making him frown.

Looking at Neville who was struggling to carry the luggage, Rian lifted it casually, and the boxes in Neville's hand and the boxes in the corridor floated up, and then flew to the luggage rack in the compartment one by one.

Neville stared blankly at his empty hands, feeling a little unbelievable.

Neville, who grew up in a magical family, had never seen anyone cast a levitating spell so easily, but the little wizard in front of him, who looked about his size, did it.

Neville suddenly felt that he had caused a lot of trouble for himself by looking here, but now that the luggage has been put away, it would be too deliberate to take it down again.

In the end, Neville still sat down hesitantly.

The two little wizards in front of him were concentrating on the book in their hands, which made Neville feel a little bit on pins and needles. After all, Rion was so powerful that he was still reading.

Several times Neville opened his mouth, but finally closed it again.The atmosphere created by the two young wizards in front of him made him unable to get in at all, so Neville could only touch Rifle in his hand.

"Sorry for ignoring you."

A voice woke up Neville who was in a daze. He subconsciously touched the Lefe in his hand, but found that the toad that should have been in his hand had disappeared now.

"Wait, where's my Raffle?" Neville stood up and shouted.

He looked around, trying to find traces of Raffles, but obviously, he couldn't find a trace.

"Lyff...is that toad?" Hermione closed the book in her hand and asked suspiciously.

Neville was a little anxious, and while lying on the ground searching for traces of Leffe under the seat, he replied: "Yes, it was given to me by my uncle when I was eight years old."

Lean was so disturbed by Neville's actions that he couldn't read the book. Fortunately, he closed the book and looked around to help find it.

"Is that the one outside the door?" Rin pointed to the glass on the door and said.

Neville hurriedly stood up, bumped his head, and looked in the direction Rin pointed.

"Lyfe!" Neville exclaimed in surprise.

He opened the compartment door, then ran out and carried the toad back, as if holding a treasure.

Seeing Hermione, her whole face twisted together in disgust.

Lian was a little curious about this toad, he leaned his head on the seat, and asked curiously: "Does this toad always disappear so suddenly?"

Neville obviously didn't expect the little wizard on the opposite side to talk to him, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and stammered: "It's just...it's just that my memory is not very good... Sometimes I'm always in a daze..."

"It must be...Leife feels bored...I always start to be in a daze involuntarily...it just went out to play alone..."

As he said that, Neville didn't forget to touch Raffle twice.

Seeing Neville's movements, Hermione stiffened for a moment, with a polite smile on her face.

"I heard that wizards use toads to test medicine, is it true?" Lean asked with interest.

However, his idle look and Neville's nervousness that he didn't dare to bend his waist made people feel that Rian was a villain, and Neville was the one being bullied.

"No... that's right." Neville said with some fear, as if he had realized something, he squeezed Raffle tightly.

Le Fu was a little uncomfortable being pinched by the sudden force, and let out a cry, and his eyes were also pinched outwards.

"This is it." Lean took out a bottle of blue-purple potion from the small pocket on the inside of his coat that was specially used to store potions.

The weird potion gave off a weird smell under the sun, and Neville held Lefe tightly in his arms, shouting "Don't...don't".

If there was a little wizard walking outside at this time, they would definitely suspect that something bad happened in this carriage.

"What kind of potion is this? I've never read about it in the book "Magic Potions and Potions." Hermione glanced at the potion in Rion's hand curiously.

"Human speech potion, which can make animals speak human speech, is a very magical potion, but the specific efficacy of the potion still needs to be tested."

Lien shook the potion in his hand, and said to Neville, "How is it? Do you want to try it?"

Neville shook his head and squeezed Leffe tighter.

"It doesn't matter. Toads are already very resistant to the poison of potions, and this potion itself is a successful product, but its specific medicinal properties still need to be tested."

Lean said persuasively, "And don't you want to listen to what Raife has to say?"

Neville was a little moved, which made the corners of Rion's lips curl up involuntarily, but what Rion didn't know was that Hermione moved aside quietly.

"Perhaps you can ask why Lefe is always away from you. This is a good opportunity. You must know that this recipe is not common, and if you miss this time, there will be no next time."

Neville was finally moved by Lean's words. He held Leffe in his hands and said timidly, "You can only feed a little, not too much."

Lien nodded cheerfully in agreement, then uncorked the medicine bottle, opened Lefe's mouth and fed the whole bottle of medicine.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Seeing Li En's actions like this, Neville hurriedly grabbed Le Fu into his arms again, and glared at Li En angrily.

"Ahem, let me go quickly, I'm about to be strangled to death by you, little fat man." A hoarse voice sounded in the carriage.

Hermione looked at the toad in Neville's arms in surprise, raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at it, and said, "It...it talked!"

"What an impolite little girl, how can you use 'it', you should use 'he'!" Lai Fu continued, "Let go of me quickly, little fat man! Lord Lai Fu will be squeezed to death by you !"

"Laifu, you're fine! It's great." Neville finally realized that it was Lefu in his arms who was talking, and immediately held Lefu in his palm and sent it to his eyes.

"Is there anything uncomfortable about you now?" Lean took out a pen and paper from the box at some point, and asked Raife curiously.

Hermione looked at Lean in disbelief, and said, "You really look like an evil scientist in a film and television drama!"

"Everything is for a better tomorrow." Lien replied seriously.

Raffle jumped from Neville's palm to the seat, cleared his throat and said, "There's nothing strange about it, but my throat feels a bit uncomfortable."
