Marvel’s Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 306 Knight Bus (3rd watch)

Two days before the start of Hogwarts, at five o'clock in the afternoon, on the streets of London, England.

A young man in a black suit was standing on the side of the road with a suitcase in one hand and a magic wand in the other, releasing his magic power as if waiting for something.

He has brown half-long hair, resolute and three-dimensional facial features, and a slender and well-proportioned figure, which can leave a deep impression on him at first glance.

Like a firefly in the dark night, it is impossible to ignore.

This person was Jerry who returned from the Greek Ministry of Magic with a Portkey and had just left the London Ministry of Magic.

In fact, when he returned to the Ministry of Magic in London, he could use Floo powder directly through the fireplace of the Ministry of Magic to reach the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron in an instant, or he could find an empty place after leaving the Ministry of Magic and use Apparition to go there. Diagon Alley.

However, he did not choose such a simple method. Instead, he chose to use his magic power to summon the emergency passenger bus specially set up for witches or wizards in trouble—the Knight Bus on the side of the road.

Because according to his previous impression of watching movies and some understanding during this period, the inside of this knight bus was actually endowed with a lot of profound magic by wizards using alchemy.

And the time magic that he cares about very much is obviously one of them.

That's why he took a little time out to experience this magic bus.

In the world of wizards, not everyone can use Apparition. Only those who have passed the Apparition test and are qualified for Apparation can freely use it as a daily method of movement.

Otherwise, you'll be like an unlicensed driver in the Muggle world, caught and fined by the Ministry of Magic as punishment.

Therefore, for those wizards who are old, weak and unable to use apparation, if they want to get somewhere quickly in the outside world, they have to rely on the strangely fast knight bus.

As long as you stretch out your wand and radiate magic power, the Knight Bus can sense it, and then rush to you at the fastest speed, and take you to any place that can be reached on land.

It's just that the driving experience may not be so comfortable.

According to the relevant information found by Jerry, the Ministry of Magic wanted to find a means of public transportation that could serve the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled before the Knight Bus appeared.

At first it was proposed to use taxi-style broomsticks, or to hang baskets under thestrals.

But in the end, it was overruled by the Minister of Magic at the time, Dugald MacPhail.

In the end it was MacPhail himself who got inspiration from the Muggle transport bus, and then summoned all the master alchemists in the wizarding world.

Through research on Muggle buses, the current knight bus was finally made together, and it was officially put into operation in 1865.

When the knight bus came out, it was resisted by pure-blood fanatics among wizards. They thought it was a "Muggle-style insult" to wizards, and they contributed a lot to the letter column of the "Daily Prophet".

However, because it was well received by most of the wizards in the wizarding world during the trial period, it ended up being nothing.

"Crunch!"

Less than ten minutes after Jerry stood on the side of the road, a bright purple three-story bus came from a distance at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye, and stopped in front of Jerry with a screeching brake.

Huge wheels, headlights, and bulk, along with the word "Knight Bus" written in gold letters on the windshield, make it stand out on the street.

However, at this time, nearby pedestrians turned a blind eye to the car, as if it didn't exist at all.

"Welcome to the Knight Bus - emergency transport for wizards in trouble. Just hold out your wand hand, climb aboard, and we'll take you wherever you want. My name is Stan Sampak, I'm your conductor today"

After the knight bus stopped, a conductor wearing a purple uniform, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, had a pair of big protruding ears, and a few pimples on his face, jumped out from the door shouting. .

"Thank you, can you take me to the Leaky Cauldron?"

Jerry took off his hat and asked gracefully.

"Of course, it only takes seven Sickles, add three for chocolate and one for a hot water bottle and a toothbrush. Oh, Merlin, you're Jerry Carmen, The legendary Seeker of England's Quidditch team, I'm your fan, can you sign me up later?"

After Stan, the conductor, got off the bus, he reported the fare of the Knight Bus and the corresponding services skillfully, but when he was halfway through the report and saw Jerry's appearance clearly, he immediately exclaimed.

As a Quidditch enthusiast, the famous English Quidditch Seeker Jerry, how could he not know.

Although the other party had just entered the third year of Hogwarts at the beginning of school this year, by virtue of his own strength, he brought the already desolate England Quidditch team back to its peak.

In the two years of international competitions, the England Quidditch team came back against the wind every time because Jerry caught the Golden Snitch first.

Even in the hearts of many Quidditch fans, the British Quidditch team with Jerry is very likely to stand out in the subsequent World Quidditch Cup and win the final victory.

"no problem!"

Jerry nodded gracefully. He didn't expect that he would meet a fan while riding a knight bus.

But this is also normal, even when he was traveling in Greece, he met fans a few times.

After all, in the wizarding world, the sport of Quidditch is much more famous than basketball and football in the Muggle world.

To be honest, there are not many such magical sports in the wizarding world.

Led by the conductor Stan, Jerry walked into the Knights bus with a suitcase.

Unlike Muggle buses, there is no seat for people to sit in the Knight's bus. Instead, there is a brass-framed bed at the position of each curtain.

At this time, among the six beds, only one bed slept a very old witch, and the rest of the beds were empty, but Jerry could clearly feel that there should be six or seven more on the upper two floors. Wizards exist.

"Mr. Carmen, you sleep on this one."

The conductor Stan took Jerry's suitcase a little excitedly, stuffed it under the front bed, then pointed to an old wizard with thick glasses and introduced:

"This is our driver, Ern Pullan. Ern, this is Jerry Carmen, the legendary Seeker of Quidditch in England!"

"Oh, it's Mr. Carmen, come on, next year's Quidditch World Cup, you must win the championship!"

The old wizard Ern turned his head to look at Jerry, smiled and nodded at him.
