Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 9: Hogwarts Express

 Chapter 9 Hogwarts Express

 In the British wizarding world, September 1st is a very important day, especially for wizards who are over eleven years old but have not yet graduated.

Hogwarts starts school on this day.

The little wizard who has just turned eleven has been looking forward to it day and night, hoping that this day will come soon.

But wizards aged twelve to seventeen may not necessarily think so, because the start of school means that the happy summer vacation life has officially come to an end, and they must also face the homework that has been forgotten for the summer vacation.

 This is not good news.

This is especially evident in the case of the twins Kyle and Weasley.

In the open space in front of the Burrow, Kyle, who was standing at the front, was very excited, while Fred and George behind him had nervous faces, and they would gather together and whisper from time to time, as if they were the ones who It's like going to Hogwarts for the first time.

Yes, Kyle is here too.

Originally, Chris planned to take him to Apparate there directly, but before setting off, he happened to meet Mrs. Weasley who came to knock on the door.

Mrs. Weasley seemed to have guessed that he was going to do this. The first thing she said when she saw Chris was that there were too many Muggles at King's Cross station, and it would be easy to be seen by using Apparition. It was too unsafe. Let Kyle go with them no matter what.

Chris wanted to say something more, but seeing Mrs. Weasley's resolute attitude, he could only swallow those words again and nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, Kyle on the side rubbed his forehead helplessly.

 He ​​wanted to tell Mrs. Weasley that in Muggle eyes, nine people getting out of a Ford was much scarier than two people suddenly appearing in front of them.

 After all, there is no Ganges River, and Ford is not a **** car with a rhombus logo. You can sit on it as much as you want.

But it’s a pity that he was only eleven years old and he was ignored.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mrs. Weasley suddenly came to Kyle and asked with concern: "Dear, have everything been packed?"

"Of course." After regaining consciousness, Kyle kicked a big box next to his feet and said, "I checked it three times before going out. Everything is missing."

 “That’s good.” Mrs. Weasley smiled and nodded.

While talking, Mr. Weasley also drove a vintage car that looked very old and parked in front of everyone.

This is their transportation for this trip, a second-hand Ford that I don’t know where they got, but Mr. Weasley likes it very much. It’s a treasure.

 “What are you waiting for? Get in the car.”

At Mr. Weasley’s urging, Chris got into the car first.

After seeing this, Kyle knew that it was too late to say anything, so he had no choice but to follow, followed by the Weasley family.

 The car has been cast with a traceless expansion spell. Even if there are nine people sitting in it, plus a lot of luggage, it doesn't feel crowded at all.

Mr. Weasley's driving skills were very good. Kyle did not feel any obvious bumps along the way, nor did he brake suddenly or nod at the start. It was much better than a certain bus.

 At about ten o'clock, they arrived at King's Cross Station on time.

Fortunately, what Kyle expected did not happen, or the people around him didn't care about a broken and old Ford car at all. The group of people arrived at the middle of the ninth and tenth platforms smoothly. In front of a pillar.

 Once you get here, you basically don’t have to worry about being discovered by Muggles.

There is a Muggle Expelling Curse nearby. Ordinary people will subconsciously ignore everything that happens here. Even if there are special circumstances, members of the nearby Ministry of Magic will handle it as soon as possible, so it is very safe.

 Everyone lined up skillfully, and under the command of Mrs. Weasley, they passed through the pillars in front of them and arrived at the famous Platform 9.

 It’s much more lively here than outside. There was a dark red steam train parked next to the platform, with a sign hanging on it that read: Hogwarts Express.

"It seems I'm not late." A gentle voice came from behind Kyle.

Hearing this familiar voice, Kyle turned around suddenly and saw Diana looking at him with a smile.

 “Mom?” Kyle said in surprise: “Didn’t you still have a mission before…”

"Of course it's done." Diana knelt down and straightened Kyle's clothes: "Today is your first time going to school, and I don't want to miss such an important day."

 “That’s good.” Kyle was also very happy.

 It would indeed be a pity if Chris was the only one to send him to Hogwarts.

Diana spoke to Kyle for a few more words, then put him on the train just before departure, and finally gave him instructions: "I think Chris should have told you about the general situation of Hogwarts. Well, I won’t repeat it, but there is one thing I think he didn’t say.”

Diana looked at Kyle with her deep blue eyes and said seriously: "Dear, your father and I have graduated a long time ago, and we don't want to recall our college life, so please don't let us accept it. Is it okay to send letters to any professor, including Dumbledore?"

"Don't worry, Mom." Kyle smiled and said, "I won't violate school rules. There is no reason for them to send letters home."

“Of course, dear.” Diana kissed Kyle gently on the cheek and watched him get on the train: “Also, don’t forget to tell us the results of the sorting.”

 “I will.” Kyle nodded, then turned around and got on the train.

 A few minutes later, the train slowly left the platform, and Diana withdrew her gaze.

Not far behind her, Chris just finished talking to a middle-aged man and came to Diana's side in a few steps.

 “Is Mr. Digory showing off his son again?” Diana laughed.

 Obviously, she also knew the person who was talking to Chris.

 Amos Diggory, like Chris, works in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic, and also has a child at Hogwarts. But he is one year older than Kyle, and in the same grade as the Weasley twins.

 But unlike the naughty twins, the child was excellent in all aspects, almost like Percy back then.

 Hence, Digory, a maniac about showing off babies, would praise his son almost every time he talked to people during this year.

It’s just once or twice. People will agree with him and praise him a few words, but he can’t help but keep saying it. Who can bear this?

 So Digory has gradually become one of the most unpopular personnel in the Ministry of Magic, especially those parents whose children are studying at Hogwarts but have average academic performance. They will never meet him unless necessary.

Even if we bump into someone by chance, they just pass by in a hurry with their heads down, and don’t talk to each other if they can.

If there is really no way to avoid it, such as meeting him in the elevator, or a colleague like Chris who is in the same department as him, he will immediately find an excuse to leave after a few words of greeting, never giving him a chance to change the subject.

 This time, Chris obviously couldn't escape.

 “Cedric is really good.”

Chris smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Is your mission really completed?"

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the Department of Mysteries, he also knew that the tasks that could appear there were at least monthly in length. It was almost impossible for a situation like this to be completed in two days.

"Of course not." Diana squinted her eyes and said, "But my colleagues are very easy to talk to. It's just a short leave. They won't say anything."
