[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

Do what you say first, and follow it later.

On September [-]st, Kong Yun still chose to arrive at King's Cross station an hour earlier.

King's Cross Station was crowded at ten o'clock. When entering and exiting the entrance, he waited for a while until the crowd at the entrance receded a little before going in.

There were still four to ten minutes before the eleven o'clock departure time. Kong Yun searched inside the station and found, as expected, that there was no so-called "Platform Nine and Three Quarters". The space is empty, nothing.He tried asking the station staff, but they told him there wasn't any train that left at eleven o'clock.

After shopping in Diagon Alley not long ago, Kong Yun can easily guess that the real Hogwarts Express should not be here—or more precisely, the entrance to Hogwarts Station is at A place here that is difficult for ordinary people to find.

Having figured this out, Kong Yun was no longer in a hurry to find a platform.

His eyes stayed on the ticket gate between the ninth platform and the tenth platform. In terms of location, it is indeed in the "three-quarters" place. Like an entrance.

is it here?

Although he is not very familiar with the British magic world, Kong Yun is basically sure that the entrance to the Hogwarts Express is now.Similar blindfolds are not uncommon in China, and the only place that meets the definition of "three-quarters" is this place that seems the least like an entrance.

At ten thirty, Kong Yun stopped in front of a train marked "Hogwarts Express".

Just separated by a railing, here is a completely different world from the outside.

A dark red steam locomotive was parked near the platform, perhaps because he came earlier, there were not many people in the station at the moment, most of the carriages were empty, only the front few carriages sat A few obviously older passengers, as well as a few freshmen picked up by their parents, were carrying their luggage up.

In addition, Kong Yun also noticed that Hogwarts does not seem to restrict students from bringing pets. Most students here bring pets, and among them, owls and cats are the most important.Maybe because he sensed the aura of "the same kind", Tuantuan also got out of his backpack, with bright black eyes, staring curiously at the pet cats passing by.

Since pets were not restricted on the train, Kong Yun didn't hide any more. He put Tuantuan on the ground, and one person and one pet walked towards the carriage.

Kong Yun didn't have much in his luggage. Most of the heavy books and some things that were inconvenient for others to see were all put in the space ring by him - this thing is still rare in the Chinese magic world, but the Kong family After all, the family is rich, and it is no problem to have one core child of the clan.

He easily carried the luggage onto the carriage, and Kong Yun chose a position closer to the middle. When he put the luggage away and turned his head, he found that Tuantuan had already quarreled happily with an orange cat.

Different from the time of "playing" with the owl, the little milk cat didn't do anything to this orange cat. It was a game where two groups of one big and one small rubbed together and scratched their tails. You knocked me and I scratched you. Kong Yungang wanted to remind Tuantuan paid attention, but in the next second, the little milk cat snapped and patted the orange cat aside.

Embarrassingly, at the same moment when Tuantuan started to attack, another blond boy just climbed up with a heavy luggage.

Kong Yun: "..."

"You..." The blond boy who came in also widened his eyes. He looked at the little milk cat on the ground in shock, and then at Kong Yun: "It..."

"I'm sorry..." Kong Yun coughed in embarrassment, "My family is quite naughty... Is this your cat? I'm really sorry."

Naughty enough to slap my cat on the wall?Kong Yun was really worried that this unknown alumnus would ask such questions.Fortunately, the other party didn't care about it when he found that his cat was shaking his body, and soon after he was alive and well - this was largely due to Kong Yun's appearance: In any case, in the face of someone with outstanding appearance and temperament When a well-behaved and obedient teenager, people will always be more tolerant and less wary.

Because of this, after inexplicably believing the boy in front of him (judging people by their appearance), the blond boy's attention was completely attracted by this unusual "cat".

"Touran Touran? Is that its name?" He tried to pronounce the name, but soon failed: "I have to say, this name is really difficult to pronounce." He finally said in frustration.

"Uh..." Kong Yun didn't know what to say to reply him for a while. It has to be said that most Chinese names are difficult for people from other countries to remember.

"Hi, I'm Ernie McMillan, and I'm a new student at Hogwarts this year." Ernie didn't bother with the cat anymore, and it seemed that his attention had returned to Kong Yun at the moment. There was obvious curiosity in the eyes that looked over: "I'm sorry - I mean, you don't look British?"

"McMillan, hello. I'm Yun-Kong, and I'm also a freshman this year." Kong Yun was not used to saying his name. He was still not used to the order of the British people's names: "I'm from China. .”

"Kong?" Ernie repeated his name, and this time he pronounced it much more smoothly, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen a wizard from the East." He looked at Kong Yun curiously, his gaze But it was friendly and enthusiastic: "Welcome to Hogwarts - the best magic school in the UK." He said proudly, and extended his hand to Kong Yun friendly.

Kong Yun also stretched out his hand and shook him. "Thank you," he said, with a small smile.

I have to say that wherever a smile is, it is the easiest thing to shorten the distance between people, especially when it appears on a good-looking person.

Kong Yun originally had a cute face—the kind that looks very deceitful, and when he smiles, he also gives people a sense of reason and docility, plus at the moment, in front of outsiders, he has always been lawless. He also consciously turned into a real-little milk cat, casually laying on the floor revealing his soft belly, looking at you ignorantly, and softly meowing, creating a spike effect every second!

It's hard to say what kind of magical logic Ernie McMillan has... In short, as a quasi-Hufflepuff, he firmly believes that since the owner is so cute, the pet must not be too fierce. Pets are so cute, so the owner is definitely not a bad person.

So, while waiting for the departure of the Hogwarts Express, they chatted happily.

Ernie McMillan is a very friendly person. After learning that Kong Yun came to the UK for the first time, he enthusiastically introduced to him some unique things in the British wizarding world: from delicious and interesting snacks to strange things Blame magical creatures.He also talked about Quidditch - a sport that sounds a lot like cuju.

Kong Yun is very interested in this, after all he likes Cuju very much.Ernie also made an appointment with him to have a chance to play together.

Another strange boy in the middle opened the door of the carriage. Out of kindness, Kong Yun and Ernie helped him carry the heavy suitcase up. For this reason, the boy with black curly hair said thank you several times .

"I'm Justin Finlaye." He introduced himself: "Nice to meet you."

After that, no one came in until the train was moving.Instead, a boy from the next carriage came over crying and asked if they had seen his toad. After Ernie told him no, he sniffed again and walked away in a daze.

Kong Yun was a little surprised when he learned that the toad was actually a kind of magical pet—this animal was also mentioned in the textbook "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Fengshen Academy, but few people took it as a pet, even if they kept it , is also medicinal.Kong Yun seldom comes into contact with this kind of animal, but doctors have special people responsible for breeding and supplying it for the purpose of making medicine.

only……

Thinking of the distraught look of the boy just now, he thought for a while before standing up.

"hole?"

"I want to see if there are any drinks in the car." Kong Yun pushed the door of the car, looked back at them, and asked in a natural tone: "Is there anything I need to bring back?"

One minute later, with the request of Ernie and Justin, Kong Yun stood in the aisle outside the cubicle.

Of course, he didn't really want to buy any drinks—although he didn't know each other, but for him, finding a toad was a piece of cake, and it was not a bad idea to help others.

There were still three or two students coming and going in the aisle, but Kong Yun didn't care. He stood in a corner near the window and slowly closed his eyes.His voice was low and clear, as if he was singing a beautiful ballad:

"Clouds against rain, snow against wind, and evening light against clear sky."

Outside the speeding train, the long wind swept the white clouds all over the sky, and the endless fields under the clear sky suddenly became clear in his "vision", and then quickly closed towards the entire Hogwarts Express——

He saw the curly brown-haired girl comforting the owner of the toad in a low voice in the aisle. A little further on in the carriage, a black-haired boy wearing glasses was stuffing a piece of pumpkin pie into his mouth, and a kind salesman was pushing her little Push the cart, push open the doors of each compartment...

"Laihong is against Quyan, and the resident bird is against the chirping insect."

It seems that the black and white picture scroll has more colorful colors, and the world has begun to become noisy. The whispers of Hong Yan and Song Chong are as clear as ears, and then gradually go away——

"We can look separately, maybe your toad just went to another compartment..."

"...I don't know anything about wizards or my parents, or about Voldemort..."

Overwhelming pictures and sounds flashed through his mind like flying, only a few words and pictures can leave traces in memory, but it is more than enough to find the toad.

The duration of the spell was very limited, and Kong Yun was not given more time to determine the location of the toad.As the word "worm" fell, the perceived audio-visual effect also disappeared. However, just a second before the complete end of the spell, he met a pair of gray eyes across countless train cars.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but at the same moment when the two looked at each other, Kong Yun accurately caught a flash of shock in the eyes of this strange young man.

However, soon, that bit of shock was completely hidden by the other party, replaced by indifference and guard that was completely consistent with his own temperament.

This indifference has nothing to do with arrogance, disgust and other emotions, and it doesn't seem to be aimed at anyone. If it must be described, it is a bend of stagnant water under the dark night, indifferent and calm.

It wasn't until much later that Kong Yun realized where the unspeakable uneasiness came from when he first met Draco Malfoy——

That's not the look a child should have at all.
