Chapter 72

The Hogwarts train departs at ten in the morning, and the time from Cokeworth to King's Cross Station will make their schedule very urgent. In fact, the Evans couple should have taken Lily to London one day earlier and stayed there for a while. In the evening, it will not be very embarrassing, but the nearest train ticket is too much, and the two of them just couldn't get the train ticket of the previous day. Without Harry's suggestion, the Evans family had to hurry to get there. It also has to be under the condition that the train is not delayed.

Harry roughly explained the operation principle of the Portkey to the two of them. The Evans couple are still very interested in trying this method. Since they are willing to send their daughter to a magic school, it is obvious that the couple does not reject it. .But Harry only asked Mr and Mrs Evans to refund the tickets to go, because after sending the two children on the train, Harry had some business to do in London, so he couldn't bring them back with the Portkey - he couldn't Let the Evans and his wife use the Portkey alone. In case of any accident in the middle, who will compensate his grandparents.

The result was not bad, and the Evans couple went to the ticket office to refund the tickets on the same day.They met in Harry's yard at nine o'clock the next morning, and because they used the portkeys, they had time to walk around the station after they arrived.

"The ticket checkpoint is not at the gate of the station. You have to enter the platform and board the train before you can check the ticket. There is definitely enough time."

Both parties were quite satisfied with this result, and Harry didn't avoid anyone on purpose when he said it, so at night when Harry and little Snape were getting ready to go to bed, the boy asked a little curiously: "What are you going to do after sending us off tomorrow?" Go to work?"

"Well," Harry nodded, "remember that if I don't get up tomorrow, you must find a way to wake me up. If I miss it, we will all miss the train." These days his schedule is fairly regular, although sometimes in the morning Still can't get up, but most of the time, he can still wake up naturally, tomorrow...won't suddenly lose the chain, right?

After sending him to Hogwarts, he must sleep well. According to his previous sleep time, he might really be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

But there is one more problem-

"Can't you sleep?" Harry looked at the boy who had been a little nervous since he went to bed, and he didn't seem to plan to go to bed so soon. There was some understanding in his emerald green eyes, "Because tomorrow Going to school? Are you a little nervous?"

Even though little Snape had been longing for Hogwarts for a long time, it was still a completely unfamiliar place, and he was naturally nervous, which was similar to the nervousness he would feel before every exam.

Little Snape nodded extremely slowly, making him admit that such a thing was still somewhat difficult.

"It's okay, aren't we ready?" Harry reached out and wanted to rub the boy's hair, but he still didn't dare to rub it, so he had to change direction and patted the boy's painful shoulder superior.

Probably because Harry used words like "we", little Snape's expression looked a little better.

"Sleep well tonight, the train will be bumpy for several hours, you will probably arrive at Hogwarts in the evening, and then attend the dinner—"

"What about the branch house?" Little Snape asked, seemingly unwilling to give up.

"Before the dinner. You can rest assured that although the sorting ceremony is very serious, they will never let the students do something beyond their average ability." Harry was already a little sleepy at this time, and he lay down bit by bit , and then greeted the boy to join.

——The next day, little Snape, who experienced what was called a "serious sorting ceremony" at Hogwarts, almost couldn't hold his breath.

"I'm a little sleepy." Harry blinked his eyes hard and said sleepily, but he didn't know that, from the perspective of the little Snape, his eyelids that were already glued together just trembled slightly, "You also want to Go to bed early, and count sheep if you can’t sleep. But you’d better go to bed early, so you can wake me up, and if we don’t wake up, the Evans family will laugh to death.”

Whether or not Snape followed his advice to count sheep after that was unknown to Harry, as he fell asleep right after he finished speaking.

The next morning Harry was woken up by a heavy object, which was so heavy that he couldn't turn over at all. The young man's consciousness woke up before his body, and he still couldn't open his eyes at this time.

His hand moved, and he touched a body with a high temperature without seeing anything.

"What time is it?" Harry's voice was still hoarse, "Severus?"

Little Snape wanted to get off Harry's body, but was held tightly by Harry. Harry slowly half-opened his eyes, and finally saw the boy's blurred outline.

"08:30."

Harry didn't wake up, and Snape shook him many times but failed to wake him up. Seeing that the time was almost approaching the assembly time, the boy had no choice but to make a bad move. Fortunately, the young man finally woke up.

"Let go of me, you have to get up."

Harry reached for his glasses and put them on, and the boy took the opportunity to climb down from him. When Harry's world cleared up, he saw a blush on the back of Snape's neck.

Harry's anger from waking up was instantly dispelled by the scene of someone cumming in embarrassment, and his mood improved involuntarily.

Today was the day when his parents, godfather and little Snape went to school, and if nothing else happened, he would witness their sorting, which was like a most beautiful miracle.

Harry moved very quickly. They had already prepared everything before they went to bed yesterday, so after they brushed their teeth, washed their faces and had breakfast in the morning, it happened to be time to go out. Breakfast was also prepared last night. When he went to take care of himself, he had already warmed up his breakfast.

"There's still time." Harry looked at his watch. He had less than 15 minutes to go when he came down the stairs. It would be no problem to have breakfast. At this time, he heard the doorbell ring, Mr. and Mrs. Evans Come with Lily.

The weather was fine that day, sunny and breezy, and it didn't look like it would rain. The Evans and his wife left Lily's luggage outside the door, and the four of them walked in together.

Harry actually thought that Petunia would come too, because in his memory, Petunia went to see Lily off, and some unpleasant things happened later - and now this matter has been changed in another way happened.

Seeing her reluctance and dark face, Harry felt that it would be better for her not to try to bully others. Although he couldn't stop complaining in his heart, he still didn't say anything.

"Wait for me," Harry looked at the Evans couple apologetically, "I'll finish eating soon."

"There's no rush," because Harry said yesterday that if they had used the Portkeys, it would have been less than five minutes from Cokworth to King's Cross, so even if they were only half an hour early they would be fine.

"Then let's proceed according to the original plan," said Harry, who didn't eat breakfast fast, which was what Hermione told him in particular—you must never eat too fast when you eat anything at any time, because that It's not very good for your body. "Don't be nervous. Using a portkey feels a bit like being hooked to your belly button, but it definitely won't hurt. Just take it easy, trust me."

"Of course, we will." Harry did have an inexplicable power that made them trust, for example, before the two were very relieved to entrust their daughter to him to teach.

The making of the port key was also very convenient. Harry took a pillow on the sofa, and the Evans couple and others were dumbfounded.

"Isn't this a pillow?" Mr. Evans asked dully, almost asking Harry if he took it by mistake.

Harry took the Evans family and Snape to a certain tree that would definitely hide them. He put Lily's luggage into the space pocket so that everyone could travel lightly.

"Everyone grab the corner of the pillow together." Harry instructed, and then he took out his wand, and after checking that everyone was pulling on the pillow, Harry quickly turned the pledge into a portkey.

In a blink of an eye, they were heading towards an uninhabited alley outside King's Cross Station. Apart from being a little embarrassed when they landed, there was no major problem.

——Here, we have to give Harry a big compliment for his wisdom, because when he came back to King's Cross Station, he had already surveyed this stronghold. It is very close to King's Cross Station, and it is always empty. people.

"Come with me," Harry took out all the luggage, and they carried the luggage into the crowded King's Cross Station.

Lily took out her ticket and looked around, "Nine and three-quarters station, what is this place?" Is there really such a place?

Harry led them towards platforms [-] and [-]. On the way, they were blocked by a group of people in a hurry. Several people stopped pushing the trolley. When the crowd passed by, they heard a surprised voice ——

"Lily?"

Lily didn't hear it at first, but she couldn't stand it anymore and she yelled once and then again.

Harry heard it, and found his father pushing the cart with his grandfather, and his grandmother beside them.

James beckoned to the group—to Lily, to be precise—and pushed the cart toward them.

"Isn't that the boy that day?" asked Mrs. Evans.

"Lily, are you here so early?" James looked bright,

"It's not too early, you are... James?" Lily didn't have much feeling for this familiar boy, and even barely remembered his name.

The red-haired girl can remember his name!James was so happy that he was about to fly, so he said more enthusiastically, "Do you know where the Nine and Three Quarters Station is? If you don't know, just follow me."

Sometimes excessive enthusiasm can easily be mistaken for showing off. Obviously, James was misunderstood by Snape.

"Harry knows," said young Snape in a low voice, looking a little resentful, "we can go by ourselves."

James was taken aback for a moment, he looked at little Snape, and then he seemed to remember something, and his face was a little ugly.

"Severus, he was just kind..." Lily said slowly.

"I'm right, too," insisted Young Snape. "And I still have some things I want to buy. Actually..."

You can go with him.He wanted to say this to Lily, but the words slipped out of his mouth and he swallowed them again.

"Ah, then I'll wait for you," Lily said, clearly leaning towards little Snape at this moment, and even directly ignoring James' expectant eyes. "Let's go in together."

James made fun of himself, and felt a little depressed: "Okay then, let's see you on the train."

He said before that he had something he wanted to buy, and little Snape bought the cheapest thing from a small shop in the station pretending to be.

Harry looked at him and sighed helplessly in his heart.

It's not a good start, okay - he had already witnessed this fact last time.

In fact, if the two of them ignore each other and have no intersection, it looks good, but the bad thing is that the two of them in memory have always hated each other because of Lily, and the more they look at each other, the more they hate each other.

When they entered platform nine and three quarters, there were quite a few people on the platform. Everyone gathered at this time. There were many laughing and playing boys and girls on the platform. Such people must not be the first graders. Rookies - Most freshmen are in the process of saying goodbye to their parents.

Harry left room for the Evans family, while he pulled little Snape aside.

—Little Snape had been waiting for Harry to do this for a long time.

"Don't be nervous." Harry took Snape's hand, feeling a thin layer of cool sweat on the top, and the temperature of the boy's palm was also low, "You can borrow Lily's owl to send the letter back to Ivan Mr. and Mrs. Si, I will see." In order not to make the boy suspicious, the young man said so.

"Sorting...is it really up to us?" Although Harry kept silent about the sorting ceremony, he revealed a lot of information. "I mean, what if I get assigned to a college I don't want to go to?"

Harry thought for a while, "Then get used to it, I'm sure you'll like it."

Harry knelt down on one knee and stretched out his hands, making a hugging gesture, and little Snape fell into his arms without much hesitation.

Harry tightened his hands, lowered his head and whispered into the boy's ear, "As I said before, all colleges have their own advantages, and prejudice is inevitable, but if you are assigned to a certain college, that's okay. It means that your Hogwarts career has begun, and you will study and live in that college for the next seven years, since the result is here, what we have to do is to adapt to it and find its advantages."

"You really can't tell me, what house are you in? Is it Slytherin?"

Harry shook his head with a funny smile, "You just need to know that we are all Hogwarts students, and that's enough." He couldn't ask them to let go of their prejudices, especially in this year, when Voldemort is rampant, which directly leads to This decade was the decade in which Slytherin and Gryffindor were most antagonistic.

This seemed to be the first time Harry admitted that he had studied at Hogwarts. Before, he had only acquiesced, or vaguely mentioned it. He didn't know whether Snape had understood what he meant, but he still wanted to Said: "Even if you and Lily are not in the same house, you are both in Hogwarts."

"I see."

The boy wanted to say to Harry, I won't let you down.But he tried several times, but he couldn't say this sentence.

There were a lot of people on the platform at once, and the red locomotive began to emit white mist of steam, which meant that the train was about to start. "Let's go up to get a seat first," said Harry, helping little Snape carry his luggage up, "When did you fall asleep last night? If you can't, just sleep on the train?"

"Just after you fell asleep," the boy whispered, "I fell asleep without counting sheep."

Harry felt a little weird at the moment, but the point was that the boy seemed in good spirits, and he didn't have to lie about it.So he nodded, "That's good, there are some snacks for sale in the car, I recommend strange flavor beans," everyone should try strange flavor beans.This is Harry's careful recommendation to Snape with the feeling of being blessed and suffering together. "There are also chocolate frogs, chocolate frogs can also collect wizard cards..."

Little Snape asked immediately, "What's the use of that?"

Harry was stunned for a while before saying, "It's really useless." He forgot that although little Snape seemed to be more lively than the boy in his memory, it was obvious that collecting cards was boring and required compulsion. Things that can only be done well with symptoms are not suitable for the practical little Snape.

Little Snape: "..."

"Then do you want to sit here and wait for Lily to come in, or should we go out again?" Their position happened to be able to see the Evans family, and Harry happened to see Lily with red eyes. The inside is all red, but everyone else has expressions of reluctance, only Petunia's expression looks very abrupt.

"Let's go out again?" Even though he said so, the boy looked worriedly at his luggage.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Harry whispered, "I cast a protective spell on them, except for you and Lily, anyone's hand will turn black if you touch it, and it won't last a week. Can't wash it off."

Only then did Snape feel relieved.

"Are you ready to go?" They came to the platform again, Lily was crying bitterly, and Snape pulled Harry to keep him from passing.

"Not yet, but I'm still a little short on time," he whispered, "maybe it's too late to see your train leave."

Little Snape's face suddenly became expressionless, and his lips were tightly pursed.

"I'll miss you." Harry gave Snape another hug.

Little Snape hugged back gently, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Me too."

"Go and say goodbye to the Evans family, and then we'll help Lily put the luggage up." Harry looked in the direction of the front of the car, where the steam was getting more and more, and the sound that the train was about to leave gradually faded away. The sound rang on the platform, urging the boys and girls who hadn't gotten on the train to leave quickly.

The more this happened, the more frustrated Snape became, his hands tightened more and more, and Harry always felt that his waist was about to be squeezed and broken.

Harry didn't dare to say too much, because he knew that once this memory passed, young Snape might not see them for a few years-even if he sneaked into Hogwarts, he didn't intend to be in Hogwarts. Little Snape appeared in front of him.

"Let's go find Lily quickly, time is running out." At last Harry could only say so.

They quickly found the Evans couple, and then helped Lily put away her luggage.After hugging again with Lily and Snape, Harry walked out of the train.

Little Snape wanted to follow, but was stopped by Harry, "You wait for the train to leave, don't get off."

"...Goodbye." Little Snape showed a trace of sadness on his expression.

"Goodbye." Harry managed to force a smile.

Harry left without looking back. He only said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Evans, and left in a hurry.

At this time, it was less than 3 minutes before the train left. Harry quickly found a hidden corner and put the invisibility cloak on himself, then found a section of the carriage and slipped in. At this time, there were still people in the train aisle. There were so many people, Harry only dared to stand in a relatively empty corner, waiting for the train to start.

After the train left, the people in the corridor gradually disappeared, and everyone should have entered the box.

Very well, no one should have noticed that he had sneaked up.

Harry quickly headed towards Lily and Snape's box, rather than finding a random corner to spend the whole journey on the train, he would rather sit with the people he knew best.

Sitting in the box, Lily and Snape were a little silent. Lily was sobbing softly, maybe it was affected by her emotions, and the boy was also very silent.

There are only the two of them in this box, and the space is large enough. It is not ruled out that someone will come in later, but until the train starts, there will be only the two of them here.

Just as the train was moving slowly, the door of the box that hadn't been closed was suddenly torn open. The two raised their heads at the same time, but found that there was no one there.

Lily stopped her tears because of this, and quickly asked Snape, "Is there anyone outside?"

Little Snape stood up, looked towards the door, then shook his head, "It seems not." Then he stretched out his hand and closed the box door.

"Probably a prank," the boy speculated.

Lily sobbed softly.

Seeing this, Snape dryly comforted him, "Don't be unhappy, we are going to Hogwarts!"

Lily wiped her tears, looked at little Snape and nodded, trying to cheer herself up.
