Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 651 Knight Bus
The next day, after breakfast, everyone was going back to Hogwarts. Tonks and Lupine were still escorting them, but Professor McGonagall went back to school first last night.

Fish did not go with him, because he heard that this time he would not take the Hogwarts Express, but the Knight Bus.

"When the Knight Bus first started operating, quite a few pure-blood wizards wrote to the letters column of the Daily Prophet to try to resist this 'Muggle insult'," Mr. Weasley was speaking with Filipino Xu introduced the means of transportation they were about to take, "But more wizards welcome it, and it is now one of the indispensable modes of transportation in England!"

"That bus can also fly like Arthur's car?"

(ω)

Maomao asked excitedly.

"Ahahaha..." Mr. Weasley laughed twice, "Flying is possible, but they seldom do it, and most of the time they still run on the ground. In fact, a lot of inspiration for my car comes from the Knight Bus , such as flying, such as invisibility... It's a pity that the function of the Knight Bus that can automatically jump out of all obstacles in front of me, I have never been able to understand the principle..."

As he spoke, Mr. Weasley, who was still a little embarrassed, gradually became more excited, but when he found that Mrs. Weasley was glaring at him viciously, his voice quickly faded away.

On the other side, Neville's grandma was telling Neville his orders, and Sirius was also pulling Harry to explain something in a low voice, and secretly slipped him a small package. Fish shook his ears and heard it, but I don't care.

After saying goodbye to everyone else, Fish and the others walked out of No. 12 Grimmauld Place and came to the sidewalk. Behind them, No. 12 was shrinking rapidly, and the houses on both sides stretched over and squeezed it. After a while it was gone.

"Come on, the sooner the car the better," said Tonks, glancing across the square, and Harry felt a little nervousness in her eyes.Lupine waved his right hand, still holding his wand.

"boom!"

A bright purple three-decker bus descends from the sky and nearly hits a lamppost, which jumps back out of the way.

"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus!"

Stan Sampak, the conductor who had met Harry once, jumped down and warmly greeted everyone to get on the bus.

"We got it, thank you," Tonks said quickly, "Get in the car, get in the car..."

As she spoke, she pushed Harry and the others towards the car.

Harry avoided Stan's gaze with some embarrassment, because the last time he rode the Knight Bus, it was Neville's name, and now Neville was next to him...

However, his worries were obviously unfounded, because when Fish appeared on the bus, it immediately caused quite a commotion.

Except for a few passengers who were lucky enough to be treated by Mao Mao, those wizards who only knew Fish through newspapers were particularly excited after seeing Mao Mao for the first time. Just want to talk to him.

The conductor Stan, standing in front of Fish with the driver Ernest Pullan, calmed the crowd loudly. He didn't have time to greet Harry, but just nodded to him from a distance.

Harry heaved a sigh of relief, and followed Ron, Ginny, and Tonks to the upper compartment, while the twins, Neville, and Lupine walked to the back of the compartment, only Hermione remained behind. Xu's side.

The conductor Stan and the driver Ernest finally calmed down the crowd. After receiving the 22 silver Sickles from Hermione, they went to the back to find Lupine and the others to collect the money.

Fish, on the other hand, leaned closer to the driver and asked, "Ernest, can Fish climb on the roof to meow?"

(ω)

"Just call me Ern," said the driver, wearing a pair of thick glasses. "You'd be safer in the car."

Hermione on the side also persuaded: "If Minerva finds out, she will tell you again."

The idea of ​​climbing to the roof to blow the air was dissuaded by the driver and Hermione, so Fisher had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, asking to sit next to the driver's seat and watch him drive.

Ernest naturally agreed to this small request. Besides, unlike Muggle buses, the stools of the Knight's bus are not fixed on the bus, and even the shapes are various. It looks like it was brought by the passengers themselves.

Hermione had a lot of opinions on this, because she felt that such a design was too unreasonable, so when she moved the chair with Fish, she kept whispering about the bad experience.

The car started, the speed was not fast for Fish, but Ernest's driving style was very wild, the car wobbled around Grimmauld Place, twisted and twisted, and sometimes drove into sidewalk.

Then there was another loud bang, and the whole car slammed on the brakes, causing all the passengers to rush forward, causing many people's chairs to fall over, and Hermione screamed and hugged the person beside her. Fish, and Mao Mao also hugged her, protecting her from falling.

Actually... such a design doesn't seem so bad?
Hermione, who was held in Fisher's arms, thought of this...

The next moment, the car suddenly started again, and they were speeding along a highway. The three-storey Knight bus swayed from side to side, and would tilt at a scary angle from time to time, as if it could flip over at any time.

"Meow ha ha ha ha! Your car is much more interesting than the Hogwarts train meow!"

(≧≦)
Excited, Fish simply stood up, with one arm around Hermione, the other on the back of the driver's seat, and he said to Ernest, "Can you drive a little faster, Ern?"

"Of course!" Ernest replied, laughing.

His driving skills have always been complained by passengers, and it is rare for someone to praise him. He is still the famous Fish McGonagall, which makes Ernest very happy...

Then he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Amidst the exclamation of other passengers and the sound of luggage colliding, the Knight Bus swayed in a more exaggerated range, shuttling through the Muggle traffic, and occasionally there were vehicles or obstacles that were too late to avoid, and they would also be affected. Under the influence of the spell of the car itself, it automatically jumped aside, but the surrounding Muggles couldn't detect it at all.

boom!
The chairs slid back, and the Knight Bus jumped from the Birmingham Highway onto a quiet country lane, full of twists and turns.As the car rolled over the curb left and right, the hedges jumped out of the way.

They drove onto a downtown main road, a viaduct in the midst of high mountains, and then a cold, windy street between tall buildings, each time with a loud bang.

Occasionally, passengers got off the bus halfway, and I don't know if they really arrived at the station, or if they couldn't stand such a toss and wanted to escape.

"This kind of bus can still be operated for more than 100 years..." Hermione, who had buried her head in Fisher's arms, criticized in a low voice not long after driving.

Even with Fisch protecting her all the time, she still felt that her stomach had suffered a lot, and her whole head was dizzy. If it wasn't for being hugged by the cat, she would have fallen on the ground in all likelihood. landed.

And although Hermione didn't see the situation of the other passengers with her own eyes, the frequent sounds of vomiting and the successive exclamations behind her already explained everything.

After a thrilling journey, the Knight Bus finally wobbled to a stop outside the gate of Hogwarts.

Except for Fish, everyone else rushed out of the car with pale faces, as if fleeing.

"I've changed my mind," Ron swears resolutely, covering his stomach that was still churning and his forehead that was bruised just now, "I don't want to sit on this thing again!"

Tonks also said puzzledly: "It feels like today's Knight Bus is much faster than usual..."

Lu Ping, who was on the same floor as Fish, glanced at some cats who still had something to say, and then sighed in unison.

"What's wrong meow?"

(ω)
Fish, who noticed their gazes, looked back confidently.

"No, it's nothing..." George and Fred waved their hands very synchronously: "We just think... Dad's car is nothing compared to the knight."

"That's right meow!" Fish nodded vigorously, agreeing, "This car is much more interesting than Arthur's one meow!"

"Okay, it's time for you to go in." Tonks probably guessed why the Knight Bus was so wild today, she rolled her eyes covertly, and then glanced warily at the quiet street, "May you all be at school?" Have a good time there.”

Harry smiled dryly and didn't speak, thinking of going to Snape's tutoring later, he didn't think it would be any fun.

The twins also shook their heads neatly and said, "Umbridge's toad won't let us have a happy campus life."

"Speaking of toad...Neville, Leffe is about to run away again, meow."

(ΦωΦ)

Fish pointed to the toad jumping in the snow not far away and reminded.

"Oh! God!"

Neville hurried over to grab Leffe, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

Just when everyone was joking around, Lupine leaned over to Harry and whispered, "Harry, I know you don't like Snape, but he is a superb Occlumency practitioner, and we—including Sirius I hope you learn to protect yourself, so study hard, okay?"

"Okay," replied Harry gravely, looking up at Lupine and saying goodbye to him moodily: "Goodbye..."

After saying good-bye to Lupine and Tonks, they talked and laughed as they walked down the icy drive to the castle.
