Chapter 321 Reunion Twelve Years Later
The Hogwarts Express train came to a stop slowly, and the students filed out of the train and arrived at Hogsmeade station.
Standing on the dilapidated platform, the little wizards shuddered and couldn't help but want to retreat to the warm train.
The weather is really too cold... The sky is raining continuously, and the platform is covered with ice, which makes the bones of the students stiff.
Hogsmeade is indeed a small broken station. Except for a road sign, there is no shelter from the wind and rain. To say that this is a "relic" is an exaggeration.
Rove looked up at the gray sky. The heavy rain still showed no signs of weakening. He had no choice but to raise his arms, and the downpour suddenly stopped.
Although it stopped raining, it was still cold.
Shirley tightened the thick cloak, curled her hands in the sleeves, waved her wand stiffly and clumsily, and nodded herself and Rove's heads.
White smoke rose from the boy's hair immediately, and his body warmed up.
Shirley stretched her body like a cat, but accidentally stepped on the ice, and her feet slipped suddenly. Fortunately, Rove held the girl's waist in time to prevent her from falling.
Shirley stabilized her figure, thanked her, and carefully raised her wand to aim at Hermione.
White smoke rose from Hermione's body as well, and she was looking up at the sky.
It was still raining heavily all around, and only a few of them were on top of their heads. The rain did not fall, but bounced upwards.
Hermione can conjure up an umbrella, which can keep her clothes from getting wet from the rain, but she can't bounce back the rain as easily as Rove.
She has seen the boy perform this magic several times, and looking at it now, she still finds it amazing.
"Why do you have so many strange magics?" Hermione couldn't help asking.
"Secret." Rove smiled mysteriously at her, stretched out his two fingers, and pinched the rain curtain in the sky, attracting a lot of rain out of thin air.
The rainwater condensed into crystal clear water droplets, jumping at the young man's fingertips, as if they had just been picked from the lotus leaves after the rain.
Hermione stared at those drops of water, and said viciously, "I'll know sooner or later!"
"Why don't you two make a bet..." Neville on the side suggested in a low voice.
Just as Rove was about to nod, Hermione hastily waved her hand and said, "It's not good to bet...I quit!"
"..."
Rove sighed slightly, the water droplets exploded in his palm, turning into a puddle of rain, and after a while, condensed into an ice flower.
It's just that the ice flower was particularly ugly, and its appearance was a bit horrible... Luo Fu couldn't bear to look directly at it, so he threw it on the ground, but Shirley bent down and picked it up again.
Rove asked strangely: "Why do you still pick up such an ugly ice flower?"
The girl with the ponytail wiped the dust off the ice flower, raised a bright smile, and said softly, "It's beautiful, if you don't want it, I want it."
Luo Fu laughed dumbly and said, "It's strange, isn't it?"
The girl with ponytails smiled and did not refute. She carefully put the ice flower in her pocket, thinking of going back and asking Professor McGonagall... What kind of magic can keep it from melting and keep it forever.
"All first-year freshmen come here!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Hagrid's burly figure appeared on the path, with a battered oil lamp in his left hand, a macho pink umbrella in his right, and a big delicate and timid dog... Fang Ya.
The new students all headed towards Hagrid. They had to brave the heavy rain to experience the traditional trip across the lake, but taking a boat in this weather was a real pain.
Students above the second grade walked towards the Thestral carriage along a muddy road.
"Good evening, Rove." Ginny pulled Luna over and waved hello.
The little girl quickly noticed the abnormality. She put away the umbrella, inserted the tip of the umbrella into the mud beside her, used it as a crutch, and asked in surprise:
"It's not raining on your heads."
Many young wizards raised their heads after hearing Ginny's words, noticing this miraculous scene...then there was a lot of discussion.
"It's just a little magic." Rove smiled and asked, "Did you have a good time in Egypt?"
During the summer vacation, Mr. Weasley won the "Daily Prophet" Annual Grand Prix Galleon Award for seven hundred Galleons.
The whole family went to Egypt to travel, and by the way, they visited the eldest son Bill who "robbed the grave" there.
Then... the Weasley family, who only had one galleon in their vault, spent a huge sum of seven hundred galleons in one summer.
One thing to say, it's no wonder the Weasleys aren't poor.
"Egypt is great. There are relics left by ancient wizards everywhere." Ginny said excitedly: "Bill took us to all the pyramids...I even brought you gifts."
Ginny took out a few mummies made of scarabs from her pocket, and handed them to Rove and the others. They were hung above the bed, and they were said to ward off evil spirits.
Hanging the corpse of a dung beetle to ward off evil, right... Rove wanted to complain.
"I also brought you gifts." The boy flipped his wrist, took out two obsidian-polished amulets, and handed them to Ginny and Luna.
Luna was a little listless. After taking the amulet, she put it next to her ear, tapped it lightly, and heard the crisp sound, then stared at the boy with gray eyes and said:
"Rove, thank you for your amulet, I suddenly feel much better."
Rove glanced at the girl's pale face, frowned and asked, "Luna, don't you look very comfortable?"
"Luna is under the influence of a dementor," Ginny explained.
"People with painful memories will be more affected." Rove took out a large piece of chocolate, handed it over, and said softly, "Eat some of this, it will make you feel much better after eating."
"Harry fainted. I think Professor Black also gave him some chocolate. Does it really work?" Ginny asked curiously:
"I mean... this is not ordinary chocolate, but is there some kind of potion in it?"
"No, nothing is added, it's just ordinary chocolate." Rove explained with a smile:
"Chocolate itself is a special medicine to improve the negative effects of dementors."
Taking chocolate can improve a bad mood, because of this characteristic... For those who have been affected by dementors, chocolate is the best antidote.
Of course, chocolate is only a short-term remedy.
A few people quickly came to the carriage. After climbing into a carriage, the Thestrals started to drive, pulling the carriage bumped on the muddy road, all the way east, running towards Hogwarts Castle.
When passing the school gate, I could still see two tall, hooded dementors standing at the gate.
They stretched their necks again, trying to inhale, like old smokers inhaling second-hand smoke.
The carriage drove all the way to the castle, and everyone got out of the carriage, including Sirius.
After jumping off the carriage, he stood at the gate of the castle with his hands behind his back and looked up, unwilling to look away for a long time.
Sirius, who always had a smile on his face, was like a wanderer who had been away from home for many years, and suddenly returned to his hometown, with a look of burnout and trance on his face for no reason.
Sirius had thought that he would never see Hogwarts again, just like he would never see James and Lily again.
The oak door was creaked open, and a middle-aged man came out, wearing a black robe, a pair of hollow black eyes, greasy black hair, and a big hooked nose.
The two middle-aged men looked at each other, their eyes were like magnets, attracted to each other, and they could no longer move away.
this moment,
It seems like a thousand years at a glance.
