Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

A night of silence.

The next morning, Glenn got up early, said goodbye to his grandfather and Dearborn, and took his luggage to the Leaky Cauldron.

There was a commotion in the bar, and everyone was busy moving all the boxes down the narrow stairs without talking.

There was already a mountain of luggage piled up in front of the door, but there was still a steady stream of suitcases being transported down the stairs.

"Are you here, Glenn?" Mr. Weasley finally pulled away and said hello to Glenn, "I'm going to drive the car to the door. Do you want to come with me?"

Glenn looked at the noisy and chaotic bar hall like a vegetable market, nodded decisively and followed.

The two came to the Muggle street and found the car borrowed by the Ministry of Magic in the parking lot dozens of meters away.

It was a classic car whose brand even Glenn couldn't recognize. The body was covered in rust and there was an obvious crack on the front windshield.

If nothing else, this car is probably older than the Ford Anglia that flew all the way to Hogwarts.

Mr. Weasley fumbled at the back of the car for a long time, and finally found a way to open the trunk. The connection area of ​​the trunk lid was obviously severely rusted, and it made a tooth-breaking "crunching" sound.

Glenn raised his eyebrows slightly and regretted agreeing to set off with them, but he still put his luggage in honestly.

"Get in the car!" Mr. Weasley said as he closed the lid and pressed it firmly a few times to prevent it from popping open.

Glenn opened the passenger door.

Although he had long known that this car had been cast with a traceless stretching spell, the image inside the car still surprised him.

Except for the driver's seat, which has not changed much, the other positions do not look like a five-seater car at all, but instead look like a widened minibus.

There are two seats for the co-pilot, and there are two rows of wide seats behind. If they are squeezed a little, each row can seat five people.

When they returned to the Leaky Cauldron, everyone had finally packed all their luggage, and Mrs. Weasley was directing them to move all the boxes to the roadside.

It is the morning rush hour right now. Although this is not a main road, there are still occasional pedestrians passing by on both sides.

However, everyone just passed by and no one was curious about this classic car with more than a dozen large suitcases stuffed inside.

It seems that the Leaky Cauldron's shielding charm and Muggle-repelling charm are quite effective.

The boxes were finally packed and everyone lined up to get into the car.

Mrs. Weasley sat in the passenger seat with Ginny; Percy, the twins and Ron were in the second row; Harry, Hermione and Glenn were sitting in the last row, with four more in the vacant seats.

Owl's cage.

In the smallest cage, Ron's little owl was still full of energy and was spinning back and forth tirelessly, causing the other owls to be extremely dissatisfied, including Hermione's newly purchased screech owl.

"Ginny helped me and Ron pick names for our new owls." Hermione said as they carried the cage into the car. "Mine is called Mercury (Mercury). She said it's because Mercury represents learning ability.

"

"So Pigwidgeon (Pigwidgeon) has any special meaning?" Ron, who was listening on the sidelines, asked coldly, obviously he didn't like the name very much.

"No." Hermione shook her head, "But we all think the name is very cute, and you can call it by its nickname - Pig."

The little owl seemed to like this nickname very much, and the little owl stirred in the cage again.

Even with the blessing of the Traceless Stretching Spell, it was still a bit crowded with so many people sitting in a car. Fortunately, the journey was not far, and after about half an hour, they had arrived at the parking lot of King's Cross Station.

Harry was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Glenn.

"Wait a minute." Glenn quickly stopped him and pointed to the crowd passing by not far away.

If Muggles saw so many people getting out of a car, let alone a Ministry of Magic car, if word spread, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble for Mr. Weasley.

Anyway, it was still early, so everyone waited until no one was around before getting out of the car and moving their luggage.

Everyone formed groups of two and divided into several batches, passing through the partition wall in front of platform nine and three-quarters one by one. At this time, there were still almost fifteen minutes before departure.

At some point, Percy had pinned his brand-new badge of the Head Boy to his chest, but he didn't notice that the badge had undergone some strange changes.

"We did a little trick on his badge. It now shows a boy with a big head." The twins leaned next to Glenn and said with a smile.

"Ah, Penello!"

A tall senior girl with curly hair reaching her waist came towards her. Percy noticed her immediately and quickly greeted her and went to meet her.

Penello was startled, turned around quickly, and walked in the other direction. Obviously, after refusing to confess her love directly, she didn't want to have much interaction with Percy.

Percy seemed unable to see her resistance and chased after her without hesitation.

Glenn watched his back disappear into the crowd and couldn't help but sigh. After all, if it hadn't been for his appearance, I'm afraid Percy wouldn't have missed this beautiful first love.

"What are you looking at?" I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. It was Harry's voice. "I found Sirius. He has occupied the cubicle for us. Let's go."

Glenn glanced around, shook his head and said, "You go ahead, I'll wait for Qiu here, and we'll go there together later."

"Okay, I'll just meet you in this carriage."

The trio agreed and dragged their large and small bags into the car.

Before long, a familiar figure appeared at the platform entrance, followed by her parents.

It seemed that because they could not see each other again before leaving for China, Mrs. Zhang obviously looked a little reluctant to leave. She pulled Qiu and kept giving instructions.

Glenn hesitated for a moment and did not come forward to disturb the family to say goodbye. He just waited quietly in the distance.

Soon, the whistle sounded, and the driver reminded everyone that the bus was about to leave. Qiu said goodbye to her parents with a hug and walked towards Glenn.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Qiu asked with a smile.

"Not at all," Glenn shook his head. "After all, we are traveling far away. It is normal for Mrs. Zhang to pay more attention to her."

He said, reaching out and pulling Qiu up the steps of the carriage.

The two of them followed the direction Harry pointed just now and quickly found the compartment he mentioned.

In addition to the three of them and Sirius, there was also a wizard in his thirties in the compartment.

He was wearing a tattered wizard robe with patches on it. He had obviously lived in poverty for a long time, so that his originally light brown hair began to turn gray.

"Glenn, Qiu!" Sirius waved to the two of them, "Let me introduce to you——"

"Hello, Professor Lupin!"
