Snakes in Hogwarts

Chapter 20 Above the train (seeking recommendation, seeking collection!)

After the "International Secrecy Law" was signed and entered into force in 1689, the wizards were completely hidden.

Perhaps naturally, they formed their own small community within the community.Many small villages have attracted a few wizard families, and these families have united to help and protect each other.

According to the "International Secrecy Law", every magic government is responsible for concealing the existence of its own country's magic community.

In addition, they also need to control the magical animals in their own countries, curb minors from publicly displaying magic, and ensure that people engaging in magical sports are not at risk of being discovered by Muggles.

In general, the "International Secrecy Act" guarantees the safety of wizards, significantly reduces the risk of Muggles discovering the magical world, and also safeguards the fundamental interests of most wizards.

Until now, the "International Secrecy Law" has become the fundamental law that all wizards need to abide by.

Bathilda Bagshot "A History of Magic"

................................................. ....................................

On the emerald green field, a crimson train is speeding along the railroad tracks, like a wild horse that has just broken free from its cage.

The time has come to noon on September 1st. An hour ago, the Hogwarts train was full of students in four carriages, and it pulled out of the platform amidst the neigh of steam and the reluctant farewell of parents.

Looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, from the big city with tall buildings at the beginning, to the low houses on the edge of the city, to the endless wilderness and rolling hills, Andros was in a great mood.

Not only because his magical road is about to officially begin, but also because as an orphan who grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, he has never been so far, nor has he seen such a charming scenery.

but.

What about the two-person world with Hermione?

Thinking of this, Andros looked a little depressed at the other side of the seat, a fat boy with a round face was sitting there awkwardly, noticing Andros' gaze, he looked out the window somewhat dodgingly.

The boy was holding a Toad named Leifford in his hand, but he seemed to hold it too tightly. When Andros saw him, he was a little afraid that the poor toad would be choked to death by his master.

"The Longbottom family, really! I saw the name of this family in "Modern History of Magic". Your history must be very long."

"My name is Hermione Granger, and that's Andros Lobach. We are all wizards from the Muggle world. It's nice to meet you, Neville."

"Why do you keep a toad as a pet?"

"No offense, I mean, since you come from a family of wizards, you must have learned a lot of magic! How about, can you show us something?"

Beside the round-faced boy, Hermione chirped around him and asked questions, and the dull boy didn't know how to answer for a while.

He looked at Andros on the opposite side with a plea for help, but the latter had already turned his head and looked out the window, enjoying the scenery outside on his own.

"I~I, I don't know any magic yet." Neville said stumblingly, the boy's face flushed a bit.

"Actually, when I was young, my family always thought I was a dumb gun, a wizard with no magic talent.

Until one time, Uncle Algie grabbed my ankle and threw me through the window. As a result, I bounced off the ground and flew across the garden. They were very happy about it.

Uncle Algie even bought me a toad."

Speaking of what he was happy about, Neville raised the toad with excitement, as if he wanted to show it to Hermione, which made the girl shrink back unnaturally.

"That's it, I call it Raffles, how about it, is it very energetic, do you want to touch it?"

"No, no." Hermione waved her hand again and again, she didn't want to touch such things.

Really stupid!

How can a girl like this kind of creatures with lumps and greasy mucus?

Even a female man like Hermione who has the potential of a female lion.

"Next time, thank you, Neville." Looking at the embarrassing bullying, Andros skillfully rounded the field.

"I think you should let go, it will be pinched to death by you."

"Ah, thank you~ thank you."

Hearing Andros' words, Neville let go of his hand subconsciously, and the toad named Rifle also keenly seized the opportunity to escape from its owner.

It squeezed Neville's palm hard, then leaped into the air, and rushed towards the unclosed box door amidst Hermione's screams, completely not as half-dead as it was just now.

Yo, still a toad who can act?

Seeing this scene, Andros was very surprised.

However, Rifle obviously underestimated the degree to which Neville was wary of it.

Before it jumped on the box door and slipped out along the open gap, Neville had already grabbed one of its legs very quickly and brought it back.

"You see, Rifle always likes to run away from me."

"Maybe it just wants to play hide and seek with you."

With a master who is so careless of you, any pet will want to run away!

If I hadn't reminded you just now, you would have squeezed out his internal organs.

Fortunately, just as the atmosphere in the carriage gradually became so embarrassing that even Andros could not remedy it, there was a sudden burst of loud noises from the aisle outside, and the rattling sound of wheels rubbing on the ground.

"My dear, do you want to buy something to eat?" a fat witch with a pretty smile pushed open the box door and asked several people toward Andros.

"I~ my grandmother prepared lunch for me." Neville explained with a blushing face.

It seems that the economic situation of the Longbottom family may not be good either?

Think about it, after all, Saint Mungo's treatment costs should be a big expenditure.

"Hermione, let's go out and have a look and buy some food by the way. I'm going to starve to death."

Without knowing it, Andros raised Hermione's little hand, and the two of them came to the aisle outside.

"Ander, I, I don't have any money anymore. I took the remaining Jin Jialong and bought some books." Hermione whispered to Andros.

"It doesn't matter, this meal counts me, I used to work in old Tom where I saved some money."

"But, these snacks, you won't have tooth decay if you eat too much."

"Look at me, I used to go to the Florin cold drink shop to get an ice cream every day, isn't it good now?" Andros opened his mouth, showing Hermione his white teeth braggingly. .

"Huh! On the day you got cavities, I really don't understand. We ate the same every day, why you didn't have anything at all." The girl pouted angrily. She drank a lot of butter beer before. , The result directly led to tooth decay.

For this reason, her dentist's parents were often scorned.

You may not know that the wizarding world has a potion for tooth decay, Hermione.

It only takes a small bottle and a few Jin Jialong to say goodbye to the troubles of tooth decay.

If you think about it this way, children who grew up in the wizarding world are still very happy.

You can eat as many sweets as you want.

Choosing the snacks on the trolley, Andros thought wildly.

"I really don't understand why someone would choose toad as a pet?"

Aside, Hermione lowered her voice and whispered in Andros' ear.

The hot air from the girl slapped on his neck, making people unable to help their imagination.

Calm down, Andros, she is only eleven years old.

"Maybe the wizard's aesthetic is different from ours?"

"Besides, did you hear what he said? He actually doesn't know how to cast spells. I thought those kids who grew up in the wizarding world could cast spells proficiently!"

"Can't say that, Hermione. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and I believe Mr. Longbottom will also have his good points."

"I didn't mean to look down on him, Ender, I just think, how can I put it, it's a bit weird, obviously they can get access to magic when they are very young."

"Maybe you can ask him about the magical world, but don't ask questions like a gun, it will make people feel very impolite."

"I know."

With all kinds of weird foods in their arms, the two of them returned to their carriages, Bibi Duo, Super Bubble Gum, and Chocolate Frog. Whether they had eaten them or not, Andros bought some of each. It's not expensive anyway, and all add up to eighty or nine silvers.

"Let's eat together, Neville."

"You can also share, we exchanged food together, the two of us have not eaten the wizard's food yet."

"Ah~ well, thanks~ thank you, Ender. In fact, the food we usually eat is similar to yours."

I didn't expect that such a shy little boy would grow into a real Gryffindor in the near future.

When Andros read Harry Potter's novel for the first time in his last life, he actually didn't like Neville's character. He was forgetful, had mediocre magic ability, and was introverted and timid, but was assigned to Gryffindor, who is known for his bravery.

He looks no different from Peter Pettigrew.

I didn't expect to be so brave in the end.

"Have you figured out which college you are going to?" After giving Neville some pumpkin pies, Andros asked the two with a licorice wand in his mouth.

"I'm going to Gryffindor. My parents, grandfather and grandmother graduated from there. If I were not assigned to Gryffindor, my grandmother would definitely kill me!" When it comes to grandmother, Neville His complexion was a little pale.

"Then you have to cheer up, the current performance is not good, how about you, Hermione?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, but maybe Ravenclaw will be a good choice."

Bingo, Hermione finally decided to go to Ravenclaw!

If she really wanted to say in the original book, if the Sorting Hat let her choose to go to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, then her probability of going to Ravenclaw would be much higher this time.

For more than a month, Andros has been instilling a good idea of ​​going to Ravenclaw in Hermione. In his plan, the best result is that the two people are divided into Ravenclaw together, low-key Through these turbulent years.

It is definitely a good thing for Hermione not to mix with the mess of the savior.

But, can things really develop as he expected?
