Chapter 10
On the emerald green field, a crimson train spewed soaring steam and galloped along the railroad tracks, like a wild horse that had just broken out of its cage.
In a car at the rear of the train, a young man with outstanding temperament was holding a book, but he didn’t cast his gaze on the book, but said something casually. Seeing how his eyes turned, he was obviously talking about what he thought of.
Opposite him, the three little girls listened attentively, exclaiming from time to time.
“I heard that the way Hogwarts picks up students is to use the night horse carriage. In Boothbarton, it is a kind of magical creature with the same name as the night horse-rune horse. It is also a kind of Pegasus, only to drink Pure malt whisky. The eyes are fiery red, and the gold and silver hair is very beautiful. How big? Hmm…probably like an elephant. Do you know that an elephant? It’s an animal in the Muggle world…”
“I know!”
Hermione raised her hand subconsciously just like answering a question in class. Only after seeing Ulysses’s surprised gaze did she react, put her hand down embarrassedly, and whispered.
“I saw it at the London Zoo and went up to touch it…”
Ulysses nodded noncommitantly, and then said, “Booth Barton is also one of the three major wizarding schools in Europe. In addition to Hogwarts, there are Durmstrang in Northern Europe.”
“I’ve heard of this school! My mother said that it is rich in dark wizards, and its reputation is not very good.”
Ginny spoke cheerfully. She is a very lively little girl, perhaps only in front of the Harry Potter she admires will show a shy side.
“Perhaps, I haven’t been there, so I won’t comment.”
Ulysses said. He believes in practice to produce true knowledge, and would not comment without personal experience.
“Busbarton is located in the Pyrenees Mountains in France. It has a magical and magnificent manor, surrounded by vast lawns and mountains that have been transformed by magic. There is a huge fountain on the campus that can restore and beautify the environment. Part of the school’s castle and land was funded by the great alchemist Nick Lemay and his wife Perénal Lemay when they were young, so the fountain was named after them to express gratitude to them.”
Ulysses continued, with a faint memory in his eyes. He had been in that school for two years, and he was still a little bit reluctant after leaving.
Hermione was pleased to hear that, she also knew who Nick Le May was. They successfully guarded the Philosopher’s Stone last semester, and the Philosopher’s Stone was provided by Nick Le May.
This feeling of knowing what the other person is talking is really good.
“Does Boothbarton have horned snorers?”
Luna listened quietly, and suddenly asked, her tone of expectation that could not be concealed.
“Horned Snorer? Sorry, I haven’t heard of this creature.”
“It’s a cute creature, covered with white fluff and soft horns.”
Luna looked serious.
“I haven’t seen it. Of course, I’ve only been in Boothbarton for two years. Perhaps the horned snorer you mentioned is Life in a place I haven’t been to.”
Ulysses remembered that Luna seemed to be a girl who believed in the existence of virtual creatures, so he didn’t say anything too absolute.
“It’s a pity. Dad already wants to go to Sweden to find them. If they are in Busbarton, it won’t be so troublesome.”
Luna said regretfully, disappointed in her face.
“Then Mr. Lestrange, why are you transferring to Hogwarts?”
Hermione dragged her chin with her right hand, behaving easily. After a short contact, she judged that Ulysses was a very kind person, without the restraint of when he first entered the carriage.
“Hogwarts is the best magic school in the UK, and I am fascinated by it.”
Ulysses smiled and said, without telling the real purpose.
Of course, this is nonsense. There is only Hogwarts in the UK. On the other hand, it can also be the worst magic school in the UK.
It’s a pity that the three little girls haven’t been deeply involved in the world, and they are praised as own school. The three little girls puffed up their chests unconsciously, and their pride was broken.
“Is it difficult to transfer? This is the first time I have heard of someone transferring to Hogwarts.”
Ginny asked curiously. Their Weasleys are all going to school at Hogwarts, and the Big Brothers will tell her what happened in the school, this is the first time this has happened.
“Difficult? It’s not too difficult. The first grade is always useful.”
Ulysses smiled, and said to his heart that those students and Mrs. Maxim would want to leave early, right?
“Are you also number one in grade?”
Hermione cried out in surprise.
“and also?”
Ulysses repeated it with a smile.
“Hermione is the number one in the first grade! And she will be number one in the second and third grades until she graduates!”
Ginny patted Hermione on the thin shoulder and said loudly.
“Amazing. Then I should be glad I am not in the same grade as Hermione.”
Hermione blushed, waved her hand slightly and said:
“I can only memorize it by rote, the magical power is far inferior to Mr. Lestrange.”
“Don’t belittle yourself. I’m a year older than you. Take your time and don’t worry.”
Ulysses said comfortingly.
Hermione opened her mouth, just about to say something, Luna’s light voice rang:
“Look, sky.”
Outside there are principles and forests rushing past. Several people looked into the sky and found a faintly turquoise Ford Anglia in the clouds.
“Oh, is the combination of Muggle objects and magic, interesting…”
Ulysses admired softly, he was very interested in this aspect. When they turned their heads, they saw Ginny and Hermione seeing ghosts on their faces.
“Ginny, is that…”
Hermione froze for a moment, and pointed to the sky outside the window.
“If we read it right, yes.”
Ginny’s tone was a little flustered, “That idiot Ron, does he know how much trouble it will cause Dad if the car is seen!”
“No wonder Harry and Ron are not on the train…”
Hermione murmured. She and Ginny looked at each other, and both saw panic and worry in each other’s eyes.
“The two boys I saw that day were in that car? Don’t worry, if they can drive, nothing will happen. And this experience is very interesting, isn’t it?”
Ulysses retracted his gaze and spoke. Nothing really happened, that is, hitting Liu and then being caught by the professor.
“I hope it’s okay. When I get to school, I must teach them well.”
Hermione kept looking at the sky, fearing it would suddenly fall, and said angrily.
“I want to write to my mother!” Ginny also waved her fist, “I didn’t expect to send a letter back on the first day of school.”
The train was still galloping, carrying the worries and anger of the girls in the carriage, whizzing into the distance.
