Chapter 647: The first meeting on the platform

During the last few days of waiting for the start of school at Hogwarts, Alexander's heart was full of expectations. In fact, ever since he followed Maka to Diagon Alley that day, he had already become obsessed with that mysterious and mysterious place.

The endless surprises in the wizard's life have generated great curiosity.

Talking to the dwarf goblins in Gringotts, being watched by a lot of owls in the pet shop, buying books about magic learning in the second-hand goods shop - although because my family is not rich, I can only pick out many things.

It was a second-hand purchase, but in fact, for Alexander, this alone was enough to make him extremely excited.

So when he went home that day and said goodbye to Maka, Alexander held the edgy book and read it for a long time. He stayed in bed until late at night before falling asleep.

Of course, the most important thing was the brand new wand - it was the most expensive thing he bought that day, and it was also an indispensable item for becoming a wizard. It made him feel incredible the most.

What's amazing is that that day in the wand shop, I actually made the wand shine with dazzling light!

Yes, it was at that moment that he suddenly realized that he, Alexander Wolfe, was also a real wizard!

And today, September 1st, the wizarding campus called "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" finally has its official opening day!

Alexander put on his clothes haphazardly, and before leaving the room, he carefully checked the mark on the calendar with his own eyes, and then he ran out of the door with a red glow on his face.

"Alex, clean yourself up quickly and come over for breakfast!"

When he went downstairs, he saw his father standing at the table, pouring milk into a glass. Although the breakfast was just ordinary hard bread, there was no doubt that he could see his father greeting him as always.

This is the scene he wants to see most right now.

"Good morning, Dad." "Well, good morning."

After saying good morning happily, Alexander ran to wash up.

Just last night, he had a good conversation with his father. During the conversation, he heard his father's plans for the rest of his life.

To be honest, it is very hard to raise a child alone. Fortunately, the appearance of the Hogwarts admission notice gave the father and son a choice. Hogwarts is tuition-free, so in this regard, it is natural.

Both Mr. Wolfe and the sensible Alexander breathed a sigh of relief.

After Alexander goes to school, Mr. Wolfe will return to work and strive to enable his son to buy new textbooks and learning supplies every year.

For them, this is naturally a sad year, but it is also a year of starting a new life.

More than an hour later, Alexander and his father finished this simple but wonderful breakfast together, and the two of them went out and took the subway to the train station.

"Oh...Dad, I can be alone from now on!"

Standing on the platform of King's Cross Station, Alexander held the Hogwarts Express ticket in his hand and took the old suitcase from his father.

His luggage was very small. Apart from some things he had bought in Diagon Alley, he only had a small amount of change of clothes. In the end, he realized that he didn't even fill the suitcase, so he packed the suitcase that his mother used to use when he was a child.

The storybooks I read to him were also put in there.

At this moment, Alexander said goodbye to his father, and finally turned around to look at the supporting wall pillars between the ninth platform and the tenth platform - Maka was not as careless as Hagrid, he would have entered the "Nine and Four Points" long ago.

The method of "Three Platforms" was told to Alexander.

But... if you ask people to "compete their head against a thick brick wall to see who is stronger," everyone will hesitate, right?

"... Just walk boldly towards the wall. For a wizard, you can pass through there smoothly."

Alexander recalled what Maka had said to him, gritted his teeth and was about to drag his suitcase forward when he suddenly heard an impatient voice coming from behind him.

"Hey, I said - if you don't want to leave, let me go first, okay?"

Alexander turned his head when he heard the sound, but found that at some point, a black-haired boy with a small side parted hair had stood behind him. Because the distance was too close, he quickly took a step back.

stood aside.

"You really don't want to leave?" The other party is at least half a head shorter than him, but he is surprisingly powerful and even vaguely arrogant. "...Then you give way, I will leave first."

Having said that, the young man passed directly by Alexander, holding the cart full of luggage with one hand and striding into the wall pillar. And in the next moment, the man effortlessly blended into the brick wall and disappeared.

.

Alexander subconsciously looked around and found that although the surroundings were full of people coming and going, no one seemed to notice the wonderful scenery here.

He blinked, then took a deep breath, grabbed his suitcase and rushed in.

He felt nothing - he thought he was about to add a novel experience to his life that ordinary people could not experience! But when he walked through the brick wall, it was like walking on an open space, his eyes closed and opened.

, everything in the field of vision has undergone tremendous changes.

It could be seen that there were still crowds of tourists around him, but their clothes had completely changed.

The sign on the platform was just above Alexander's head, with the words "Platform Nine and Three-Quarters" written on it. On the tracks on the outer edge of the platform, a dark red steam train was parked there motionless.

Boys and girls who are older than him, or about the same age as him, are saying goodbye to their families, and then boarding the train one after another.

There are really a lot of people here, and they are even noisier than before. There is no order in the chaos.

Of course, in addition to people, there are also various small creatures everywhere on the platform. Alexander knew that the list of necessities also reminded that you can bring your own pets, but his family did not have the extra money to buy some owls or toads!

Rather than buying a pet, it would be more appropriate to keep a replenishment of parchment and ink.

"...Harry, I'm sorry! I have to go fulfill my 'prefect duties'! Haha!"

"Shut up! If you don't want the freshmen to laugh at your crooked back molars, then don't smile like a fool!"

"Hermione is right, Ron... Although I don't mind you showing off your prefect badge to me, I have to say that your back molars are a bit damaging to your 'glorious image'."

"Stop talking about my back molar, it's innocent——"

Vaguely, Alexander heard a few conversations coming from the crowd in front of him, and then there was a lot of laughter. Although he didn't see any "rear molars," the picture he imagined in his mind made him endure it.

He couldn't help but grin. But at this moment, he suddenly spotted the back of the little guy in front of him who looked a little "tangled" just now.

In this strange wizarding world, he knew Maka from beginning to end. Now that he didn't know anyone around him, he naturally followed the only boy he had talked to.

I thought there were enough people on the platform, but Alexander didn't expect that there were obviously more people in this carriage. It seemed that it took a lot of time to say goodbye to his father at the entrance to the "other side".

, it’s probably not too early now.

He struggled to drag his suitcase and walked towards the second half of the train. After passing several crowded carriages, the number of people in the aisle gradually decreased.

However, the boy walking in front still did not choose a box to enter, but continued to walk to the back - there were obviously many empty seats from here on out.

Alexander paused in the corridor, first glanced at a box that was not full, and then at the back of the boy, and finally chose to follow him.

He was a child with great curiosity, and he had already developed a desire to find out more about that future classmate who spoke in a shabby tone.

After passing several carriages in a row, until there was no way to go forward, the little guy turned around and walked into the last box. Seeing this, Alexander couldn't help but speed up a bit, and then followed suit.

Got that box.

"Why are you following me?" As soon as he walked in, a question hit him on the head, "There are so many empty private rooms in front of you, why did you insist on picking mine? Do you want to find trouble?"

Alexander was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he still wanted to ask this question! Why did this guy fight his way from the car near the front of the car to the back of the car without hesitation?

"Oh, um..." he thought for a moment, "because it's quiet here?"

Naturally, Alexander came up with this reason at random. He really had no better excuse. But unexpectedly, the other party looked him up and down, and then looked at him with a look like "Huh? You know it too!"

Stared at him.

Soon, the two of them put away their luggage and sat down facing each other.

That guy is obviously not the kind of boy who likes to talk nonsense. After all, he is a guy who can run all the way to the back of the car just for a moment of "quietness." Now that Alexander has seen this, of course it is not easy to take the initiative to speak.

.

But as Maka said, they had to spend the whole day on the train, so it was a bit awkward just sitting there.

"Uh... from today on, we are classmates," Alexander tentatively said, "My name is Alexander Wolfe, what's yours?"

"Huh?" Xiaofencun snorted impatiently, "Ens Tavon."
