The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Tom~ Our clothes are ready~" Hermione knocked on Tom's bedroom door with joy.

Tom was packing his luggage, packing "Standard Spells - Level 4", additional potion ingredients and newly bought parchment and stuffing them into the suitcase. Hearing Hermione's words, Tom raised his head in fear - he was afraid to face the dress robe made by Hermione.

Fortunately, the robe sent this time was customized in a tailor shop. It looks similar to the school robe, but it fits better. The color is also foggy blue, dotted with star patterns, giving people a deep starry sky. feel.

This robe is unexpectedly beautiful.

"Quickly put it on and let me see the effect!" Hermione urged while standing at the door, "I think this color matches your temperament very well."

Tom's behavior made Hermione a little disappointed, so he put the robe on directly.

"Well... Mr. Foji's craftsmanship is still as superb as ever." Looking at Tom who had changed his clothes and his appearance had soared, Hermione gave a thumbs up to Foji, the owner of the tailor shop.

"What does your robe look like?" Tom also became curious about the style of Hermione's robe. He wanted to see what Hermione looked like in her dress robe.

It will surely amaze the whole Hogwarts, right? I will be very busy by then...

Although Tom felt that there would be no blind people poaching his corner, he always had to be cautious about such things.

Faced with Tom's question, Hermione refused to answer.

"You'll know when the time comes." She said, pretending to be mysterious. As for the robe she made for Tom, she just pretended that nothing happened, because after the robe was finished, she looked like a flour sack, so she didn't have to worry about anyone coming to snatch her boyfriend when she wore it.

September 1st finally arrived, and the sadness of the end of the holiday overwhelmed every student. Of course, the most tragic moment should be the night of August 31st: lying in bed, thinking about how painful it is to go to school tomorrow. If the homework has not been finished, there will not even be time to feel the pain. nothing.

For Tom and Hermione, it was impossible that the homework was not finished. Hermione wished she had written the first draft of the homework a month ago. Tom had a hard time imagining what it would be like for Hermione to not have finished her homework on the last day of school - it was best to never find herself in this situation.

It would most likely be like being locked in a cage with an angry Maine Coon cat, right? Tom guessed so.

The weather is terrible today, it's raining heavily in London. Fortunately, Mr. Granger drove Tom and Hermione to King's Cross Station, which saved a lot of trouble. However, the rain still caused them a lot of trouble during the short few steps they took with the suitcases into the station.

Now, Tom is used to entering platform 9. He can just lean against the wall. The only thing to be careful about is not attracting Muggle attention.

Tom, Hermione, and Mr. Granger intentionally or unintentionally approached the partition wall, and then got in sideways. The hurried passers-by around them didn't even notice that three large living people just disappeared.

After entering the platform, you can see that the Hogwarts Express is parked at the edge of the platform, with thick smoke billowing from its chimney, and it looks like it is ready to depart.

"Ahem!" Mr. Granger choked on the smoke blown by the wind. He coughed several times before he recovered. Looking at the train, he complained with some dissatisfaction: "It's obviously a magical world, but the train has to be made of coal. of fuel..."

Tom wholeheartedly agrees with this, even if you use anthracite! It’s almost the 21st century, and we’re still using this kind of thick bituminous coal. What do you think?

"Wait a minute." Hermione paused before boarding the train, took out the wand from her trouser pocket, and lightly touched the corner of her father's clothes. The clothes that had been wet by the rain when they just entered the station became dry again. .

"Baby~" Mr. Granger rubbed Hermione's face lovingly, and then kissed her on the forehead.

"Take care of yourself...Okay, hurry up and get on the bus." After giving Hermione a farewell kiss, Mr. Granger urged his daughter to get on the bus quickly so as not to be late and unable to find a seat.

"Goodbye, Dad!" Hermione reluctantly picked up the box and walked toward the train with Crookshanks in her arms. Mr. Granger patted Tom on the shoulder, looked at him meaningfully, and said nothing more.

"Take care of yourself too!"

I'll take good care of Hermione! Tom did not say this sentence, but made up his mind secretly in his heart.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Granger, Tom quickly followed Hermione, walked into the carriage with her, found an empty box and settled down.

The whistle sounded, the conductor on the platform also blew his whistle, and the train started moving. Mr. Granger's figure on the platform gradually became smaller and disappeared.

They parted. Mr. Granger is going back to work, and Tom and Hermione are going to Hogwarts. The new semester is about to begin.

Tom moved their luggage to the luggage rack in the box. The dense raindrops pattered on the glass window, making it impossible to see the scenery outside clearly. Crookshanks made a fat cat swoop, jumping from Hermione's arms to the table in the box, causing the table to shake.

"Is it time to control its weight?" Tom felt that if Crookshanks continued to eat like this, Hermione would have to put a levitating spell on him when he hugged him.

Meow! Crookshanks slapped the table to express his dissatisfaction.

Looking at Crookshanks' body that had grown several times, Hermione nodded: Indeed!

Seeing Hermione speak up, Crookshanks had no choice but to accept his fate. But it didn't panic. It knew very well that when it arrived at Hogwarts, the entire castle would be its hunting ground. It could fully clothe and feed itself, and the unfinished food could be placed next to the mistress's pillow.

What a kind cat I am! Crookshanks thought like this, snored comfortably and fell into sleep.

Tom and Hermione had no idea what their cat was up to, they were minding their own business. Tom planned to make some anti-curse gloves for the Ministry of Magic on the train, while Hermione planned to preview "Standard Spells Level 4"

At this moment, the door of the box slid open, and Draco Malfoy appeared at the door of the box.

"Hey, do you have room here? Can I-" Malfoy still had the same drawl when he spoke. But what was surprising was that he actually wanted to sit in the same box as Tom and Hermione.

"cannot."

Before he could finish, Tom rejected him.

It would be too disappointing to have a Malfoy on the road.

Malfoy's face suddenly fell. Apparently, he never imagined he would be rejected.
