The Bard at Hogwarts

Chapter 15 Platform Nine and Three Quarters

Coming out of Gringotts with a huge sum of five hundred galleons in his arms, Ino was inevitably a little elated.

Although none of the necessities needed by the soul can be purchased with money, wealth can often bring people spiritual satisfaction.

To be honest, it was the first time since he opened the fantasy world that he had received such a large number of gold coins, and he was inevitably a little overjoyed.

You must know that the best time he had luck in the past two years was that he only brought back a few pitiful silver coins within reasonable rules.

"I want to buy a customized high-end robe, a whole bottle of ink, a pet, buy..."

At this moment, Ino had only one thought in his mind, and that was to spend money on shopping.

Being able to make money and spend money at the same time is the secret to enjoying double happiness.

Two hours later.

Outside the Leaky Cauldron, stood a young man carrying a brown vintage suitcase.

"It feels really good to have money..."

Ino was walking through the streets of London, recalling the experience he had just had. The hearty shopping experience was unforgettable.

After spending nearly 200 galleons, he not only bought the brand-new items needed on the admission list, but also spent 10 galleons to buy the musical instrument he had longed for, an accordion that was enchanted and could learn music scores and play it by himself.

You must know that as a bard, if he does not have the corresponding musical instruments, he will always appear unprofessional and therefore easily be looked down upon.

Of course, the total of all the above things cannot exceed 50 Galleons. What is truly valuable is the vintage suitcase he is carrying.

This is a seamless extension suitcase with formal procedures from the Ministry of Magic. Although it only has twice the space, it sells for up to 150 Galleons.

"It seems that no matter where it is, the value of the formal approval document is often higher than the item itself..."

Ino looked down at the box in his hand. Although he felt like he was being taken advantage of, this was the only way at the moment.

This kind of space equipment is really indispensable for a wandering traveler like him. This is not only convenient for daily use, but also provides an extra layer of protection when you go to the fantasy world in the future.

evening.

Ino returned to the bridge pier again.

If it weren't for the books he bought before, he wouldn't want to make the trip at all. After all, except for the newly purchased aluminum kettle in the original residence, the rest were generous gifts from the wealthy area.

After returning to my residence, I simply packed up some daily necessities and finally returned to the Leaky Cauldron before dark.

The first thing Enoch did when he returned to the Leaky Cauldron was to ask the owner, Tom Abbott, to open a room for two months. If there were no accidents, he would not change places before the start of school.

Now that money is no longer troubled, there is no need to go back to live in a bridge and suffer. After all, no one is stupid.

Time is like a clockwork, sometimes it turns very fast, sometimes it turns very slowly, urgency and leisure are always intertwined with each other.

Two months passed by in a flash.

September 1, 1991.

In the early morning, Ino packed all his belongings into the seamless extension box and took one last look at the room he had lived in for two months.

After saying a silent farewell, he closed the door, went downstairs, said goodbye to Old Tom, and set off for King's Cross Station.

I paid the taxi driver a fare of 7 pounds and arrived at my destination smoothly.

King's Cross Station was opened in 1852. As a large railway terminal in the center of London, the daily flow of people is quite large.

Ino didn't care whether it was prosperous or not. He was more concerned about how to find the entrance to platform nine and three-quarters.

As a matter of fact, as a large transportation hub in an international city, it is not as shown in film and television works... A simple lens and a few bright pillars can be seen as long as you are not blind.

In fact, the King's Cross platform covers a considerable area.

Going around in circles all the way, it took nearly ten minutes just to find Platform 9.

Of course, I also saw many familiar faces during this period, such as Hermione who stood beside her parents and hesitated to speak, or a boy with black eyes and a pure white snowy owl in his hand.

But he pretended not to see all this. We are not from the same group, so there is no need to get together and cause unnecessary trouble.

Finally, after many twists and turns, I finally arrived at the ninth platform. After witnessing several young wizards disappearing into the stone pillars, Ino bumped into it without hesitation.

Station Nine and Three Quarters.

The medieval architectural style platform, the old steam locomotive, and the mottled red and black body are full of a strong sense of history.

"This feels...so familiar."

The moment of weightlessness he felt just after crossing the platform reminded him of the feeling of entering a fantasy world. It was also this paradoxical feeling of weightlessness.

But before he had time to think, a noisy voice instantly buzzed in his ears.

The sound of train steam engines burning, parents’ warnings when parting, the sounds of little wizards playing with each other, and even various pets making unexplained chirping sounds.

All the sounds combined together made Ino instantly have the urge to turn around and leave.

Speaking of noise, it's okay if it comes from far to near. After all, there is time to buffer and adapt. This sudden noise is really unacceptable.

"I must learn the silencing spell in the future. I didn't expect there to be a Spring Festival morning market in London..."

Without delay, Ino picked up his suitcase and walked towards the train. He remembered that this train had compartments. He went in early and closed the door, which would give him some peace and quiet.

...

Get on the train.

Along the way, he ignored many senior girls who wanted to chat up with him.

He knew very well that this was not the Muggle world. Muggle girls would only be alone when they were heartbroken.

In Hogwarts, seniors were always untouchable, including but not limited to love potions, confusion spells, and even the Imperius Curse...

Most importantly, the looks of these seniors scared Ino a little. It was not just love and admiration, but more of the surprise and possessiveness of the girls when they saw their furry pets...

Faced with this situation, he didn't want to continue wandering in the train. He found an empty compartment at random and walked in quickly.

'Bang~' The door of the compartment was closed.

Perhaps it was the effect of magic. It was just a not-so-thick wooden door, but after closing the door, this small compartment fell into extreme tranquility.

Small and enclosed spaces always give people a sense of security, just like children always want to get into cardboard boxes.

Of course, claustrophobic patients are excluded.

"Thank you England, thank you for the stereotyped retro tradition..."

In the isolation room, Ino couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was somewhat fortunate in his heart.

Fortunately, this is Hogwarts. If it were in France or Beauxbatons, I guess my pockets would be almost full of pink notes.

After all, looking at the whole of Europe, only England, which is famous for gentlemen and ladies, has girls who know a little bit of reserve, even if it is only superficial reserve.
