Study Days at Hogwarts

On September 1st, Albert woke up early, climbed out of bed, got dressed, and moved his body a little to wake himself up completely.

Today, I am finally going to Hogwarts, so I can't help but be a little excited.

After washing up, Albert began to check his luggage.

"Are you awake? Then go downstairs for dinner." Daisy, wearing an apron, opened the door and entered the room, and said to Albert who was checking the luggage, "By the way, put your robe and peaked hat on the top of the luggage. It’s easy to find when changing clothes in the car.”

"Albert, are you really not taking Tom to school?" Nia, wearing pajamas, hurried into the room holding the short-haired cat.

"Let Tom stay with you," said Albert.

"Where's Sheila?" Nia asked again.

"It will fly to Hogwarts on its own to find me. I have asked. There is an owl hut over there at the school. It will live there." Albert didn't want to take an owl to King's Cross Station. That would Attracted many people's attention.

Breakfast was as simple as ever, and Daisy also prepared a ham sandwich and a can of drink for him to eat when he was hungry.

Naturally, food was sold on the train, and Daisy was not worried that Albert would be hungry. Herb gave him all the remaining galleons, which was a considerable amount. They were not worried about Albert spending money recklessly, because there was no similar precedent. .

The heavy suitcase was easily lifted into the car after Albert released the floating spell.

"Do you have a camera?" Herb asked. "That camera your Grandpa Luke bought you?"

"Take it with you. I will write letters home every week and send back photos." Albert said that there was no need to forget this. He would take pictures of some things in Hogwarts and share them with his family.

"That's good." Herb nodded and said, "Let's go."

The family arrived at King's Cross Station just before ten o'clock, and Herb helped Albert put the suitcase on the trolley.

Albert pushed his luggage to the wall between Platform 9 and Platform 10. He made a quiet gesture and casually reached into the wall. Sure enough, he could pass through.

Albert breathed a sigh of relief, returned to Herb and said, "Okay, then I'll go in by myself."

"Remember to write letters," said Herb, "and take pictures."

"I know." Albert looked at his sister. "Nia?"

"How cunning, I want to go too." Nia reached out and gave Albert a hug.

"Don't cause trouble at home, don't cause trouble to everyone." Albert warned.

"I won't." Nia turned her head away, pretending to be angry.

"Son, see you during the Christmas vacation." Daisy gave Albert a hug before leaving, kissed him on the cheek and said, "I'll take you skiing then."

"I know, see you during the Christmas holidays." Albert pushed the car, looked around to make sure there was no one, then trotted towards the gambling wall.

"Disappeared." Nia pointed to the location where Albert disappeared and said.

"Magic is always so magical. Let's go back." Herb put his arms around his wife and daughter and said, "Don't worry, Albert will take care of himself."

On the other side of the brick wall, Albert found himself at another station. A dark red steam locomotive was parked next to the platform. The sign hanging on the train read: Hogwarts Express.

There were not many passengers at the platform. The train departed at eleven o'clock, and it was not yet ten o'clock yet. He arrived an hour early.

After entering the platform, a new prompt will appear on the panel. If you find platform nine and three-quarters, you will receive a 100 experience reward.

He also had experience in exploring the map, but it was very little. Albert didn't pay much attention to it. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly moved away from the entrance to avoid being hit by people behind him.

The place where the ticket gate used to be has now become an archway, with the signboard of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters hanging on it.

Sure enough, it's pretty much the same as described in the book.

By the way, this is Albert's first time riding this kind of old-fashioned train. It's really an antique.

I strolled around the station pushing my luggage, found an empty compartment at random, used the floating spell to move the suitcase in, found a place to put it, and closed the door. Then, start changing yourself into wizard robes.

Not long after Albert opened the window, Sheila flew over and landed on the table. It seemed that she was not planning to fly to Hogwarts by herself, but was planning to hitch a ride.

"What a smart little guy." Albert touched Snow Owl's head, took out owl nuts from the box, and poured some for Snow Owl.

"By the way, take pictures, I almost forgot about this." Albert returned to the platform with his camera and took some close-up photos of the Hogwarts Express train.

Unfortunately, his photography skills are really not very good, and the photos he takes can only be considered average.

Fortunately, Luke probably expected this situation and prepared a lot of negatives for him.

"This is a good one." Albert chose a photo with a locomotive, nodded with satisfaction, and returned to his carriage.

He sat down by the window and looked at the platform with half-hidden eyes. After a while, the number of passengers on the platform gradually increased, and it actually started to rain lightly.

"I always feel like every time I go to Hogwarts, it will rain." Albert couldn't help but complain, feeling that he was right to come early.

The wizards on the platform all held umbrellas in their hands and hurriedly said goodbye to their families in the rain, looking a little embarrassed.

I don’t know, how many acquaintances can I see?

Albert didn't expect to meet the protagonist now. He entered Hogwarts earlier than Harry Potter. He should be in the same class as the Weasley brothers and Cedric Diggory.

Fortunately, he was not with the Savior. Albert didn't want to have much to do with Potter at all.

After all, he was the savior, who was born with a pig's foot aura and a death-seeking aura. If an ordinary person was affected and did not have a lucky aura to protect his body, he might be in trouble. Cedric Diggory is an example.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, so Albert closed the gap in the window a little smaller. After Sheila had eaten, she began to take a nap. Owls are nocturnal birds after all.

He took out a chocolate candy from his pocket, opened the package and put it in his mouth, listening to the sound of rain outside, Albert was in a good mood.

As long as he doesn't get caught in the rain, he doesn't hate the rain.

The corridor of the carriage gradually became lively, but Albert closed the door of the compartment, and the noise in the corridor did not have much impact on him.

Open "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense", flip through it slowly, and pass the trivial time by reading. Albert has read this book more than once, and he has tried some of the spells in it.

In fact, throughout the summer vacation, Albert tried all the magic he knew, except for the Unforgivable Curse, and even tried the Patronus Charm, but naturally it was unsuccessful.

"Hurry, hurry, the train is leaving."

On the platform, a group of people caught Albert's attention. Their family was saying goodbye in a hurry, including a pair of red-haired twin brothers.

"Is this the Weasley family?" Albert looked at this group of celebrities and felt quite happy. Especially Ron Weasley, who still looks a bit silly now. There was a girl next to Ron, probably Ginny. She was following Mrs. Weasley closely and seemed to be feeling sad about not being able to go to Hogwarts.

Albert compared Ginny with his sister. Well, it turned out that his sister was cuter.

The Weasley family looked a bit in a hurry, probably delayed by something before arriving at the station.

Albert looked away because someone was knocking on the door.

There was a young black man standing outside the cubicle door.
