Chapter 6 New Students (Please Collect and Recommend)
Hearing that, Xing Ze blushed. Benson thought that as a potion scholar, Bowman should not make such a low-level mistake.
"He also reminded me, old man, that the spider kiss is not common. He thought that even a potion expert would rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with it."
"No, so he suspected that there was more than one person who committed the crime." Benson looked at Xing Ze meaningfully.
While they were talking, the two walked to carriage No. 3, which was a public carriage with no cover between seats. Because of its low price, it was very popular among students and the lower class.
When Xing Ze walked into the carriage, the prefect of the college was comforting the excited students. Obviously, most of the freshmen were not affected by the abnormal weather. They were still excited and even thought that the blizzard was the origin of magic.
Several children from wizard families were bragging about some strange stories in the magic world, and the children from Muggle families listened with relish.
In the chaotic carriage, a young man with red skin and handsome looks was particularly eye-catching. Judging from his robes, he should be the head of Hufflepuff.
Cedric Diggory? Xing Ze recognized him at a glance, because he looked almost the same as in the movie.
The handsome and somewhat childish young man was trying his best to keep the students quiet.
He was surrounded by a group of girls who were talking at the same time. Judging from the bitter and helpless expression on his face, those girls had probably been pestering him for a long time.
According to the tradition of Hogwarts in the past, freshmen will enter school in September and January, while senior students will enter a few days in advance. They will be assigned some simple tasks to reduce the burden on teachers.
Some of the headmasters will be sent to pick up and drop off freshmen. Although it is a troublesome task, it is still quite popular, not only because it can add points to the college, but also because those who are selected will undoubtedly be recognized by the teachers.
Perhaps noticing Xing Ze's gaze, Cedric raised his head and looked over there. After seeing the person clearly, he smiled and nodded friendly.
The two continued to move forward. Like carriage No. 4 where Xing Ze was, carriage No. 2 was also cast with a traceless extension spell, but the difference was that the compartment there was not for single use.
Under normal circumstances, it can accommodate four people, and if it encounters peak hours, it can also squeeze in six people.
When they walked to the middle of the carriage, the door of one of the compartments suddenly opened, and Xing Ze jumped back nimbly to avoid being hit.
Then, two red-haired children came out of the compartment, and they looked almost exactly the same.
"Hey, idiot, come and catch him." One of them shouted loudly, and the other laughed happily. The two did not stay any longer, but ran quickly towards carriage No. 1.
Not long after, a young man with the same red hair rushed out of the compartment angrily, his robe was covered with green slime, and he looked miserable.
"We can't run around on the train, George, Fred, for Merlin's sake, he really has had enough of the two of us!"
Another acquaintance. Xing Ze smiled. The twins of the Weasley family, so the other red-haired one is not difficult to guess. The third brother of the twins, Percy Weasley.
A low spell came from behind Xing Ze, and then the twins running in front of him left the ground and floated up like balloons.
Benson moved the wand in his leg, and Fred and George screamed and floated back to Percy.
"Prefect, I have to keep an eye on the students." Benson said to Percy. When the old man frowned, he was full of majesty. Not many people would like to be taught a lesson by him. Even the twins who always laughed cruelly shut their mouths.
Poor Percy blushed and couldn't help nodding and apologizing. Xing Ze cast a "Quick Cleaning Spell" on Percy, and the green mucus on the robe suddenly gathered into a ball. He casually threw it, and the ball of mucus was accurately thrown into the trash can in the aisle.
Percy looked at Xing Ze gratefully. He was about to open his mouth to thank him when one of the twins whispered, "Hey, nice kicking. He bet I must have participated in Quidditch."
"Very no, he has only been in Hogwarts for three years, and he is not used to flying around." Xing Ze replied with a smile.
"I should participate. It feels good to soar in the sky." Another twin interrupted.
"Quiet, boys." Benson interrupted the wrong conversation unhappily, "Listen to our class leader, or he will go to school to have a good talk with our dean."
After he finished speaking, he waved his wand, and the twins immediately fell to the ground. The two of them rubbed their buttocks and fled out of the compartment in shame.
The farce in the corridor attracted many onlookers, and people in other compartments opened the door to watch.
Among them, Xing Ze saw the boy who survived the disaster - Harry Potter, and Ron and Hermione beside him.
They looked similar to the movie. Xing Ze sighed in his heart, it seems that the cannibals didn't have time to miss him.
Benson shouted at the onlookers: "Go back, kids, there's nothing to see!"
Because of his stern voice and gloomy face, the students were scared back to their rooms.
"It seems that I'm not very popular with the kids." Xing Ze laughed at Benson.
Benson didn't reply, but gestured forward with his hands. Xing Ze shrugged his shoulders in boredom and continued to walk forward.
When passing Harry Potter's room, Xing Ze secretly memorized the room number.
...
The train stopped shortly after they walked out of the second carriage. With a quick shake and a shrill whistle, the entire train was forced to stop in the wind and snow.
Benson cursed softly, and he urged Xing Ze to speed up. The two soon came to the conductor's room.
"Benson, tell him that it's not true. How can Bauman kill people? That guy doesn't even want to kill a mouse."
The conductor Balk almost jumped in front of Benson, his lips trembling constantly, and the veins on his legs holding the pipe bulged.
"He doesn't want to believe it's true, Balk, but it's true."
The conductor touched his red hair angrily, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "Damn it, he has to drink another glass, and the knife and shovel will tell me the details of the details."
When they kept silent, Xing Ze found an inconspicuous corner to stay. While observing the people in the office, he studied the small jar that he smuggled out of Allen's bag.
There were two people in blue uniforms standing by the window. They were probably the train's mechanics. The taller of the two said, "The snowstorm was too strong and visibility was too low. They couldn't move forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing on the other side immediately said, "The magic telegraph is still unusable. I hope the people at New Ravenscar Station will notice the snowstorm."
"Don't count on them, sir." The conductor interrupted, "With such a strong snowstorm, even if you use the phantom display, it will be difficult, not to mention that it is difficult to use."
