Chapter 16 The Hogwarts Express
In the early morning of September [-]st, Sherlock packed his things and got on the train to London from the train station in Surrey.

The place where he lives is not far from downtown London, and it took only three to ten minutes on the road to arrive at King's Cross Station.

Holding the ticket that Professor McGonagall gave him, Sherlock easily found the wall between platforms nine and ten.

There have been quite a few special people gathered here who can be seen obviously.

For example, a group of children pushing small carts, most of which have an owl on them, and some adults in strange costumes.

They wore dark robes, and some even wore pointed hats that could only be seen in drama clubs, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"I reminded you Sewell, put away your damn hat when you arrive at the Muggle station! These Muggles will only think that the hat you think is beautiful is strange!"

Beside the witch with a pointed hat, her husband, who was wearing a suit on the upper body and beach shorts on the lower body, stared at her and whispered.

The witch took off her hat in dissatisfaction.

"Why do I feel that these people seem to be looking at you?"

"Nonsense! I'm dressed like a Muggle, don't you think it's Vicky?"

Hearing his father's question, the fifth-year Hogwarts student covered his face, and now he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in quickly.

He obviously reminded his parents at home, but the result is still the same.

Seeing the behavior of this family, Sherlock couldn't help laughing, but he was professionally trained after all, so he didn't laugh easily.

In order not to attract attention, these wizards who came to send their children to school did not gather together and stay in place.

Instead, wandering around the station in a rather casual manner, waiting for everyone to separate and pass through the magic wall.

No matter how strange some of them were dressed, when they entered platform nine and four quarters, those Muggles who had been paying attention to them would not notice it and divert their attention from these people.

After that, it was like forgetting about it, like nothing happened.

This is the effect of the Muggle Repelling Curse. Generally, wizards will use this kind of magic to hold large gatherings, or when they really cannot avoid Muggles, so that their behavior and identity will not be exposed.

The wizards with their children separated in an orderly manner and entered Platform Nine and Three Quarters, and soon it was Sherlock's turn to wait.

He didn't have many things in his hand, only a simple suitcase.

As for the owl he bought specially to send letters, he had let it fly to Hogwarts yesterday.

Holding the suitcase in his hand, looking at the seemingly ordinary wall in front of him, Sherlock let out a slight breath, and then trotted forward.

When the tip of his nose was less than ten centimeters away from the wall, he subconsciously closed his eyes, but his pace did not slow down.

The next moment, he seemed to have worn something, but also seemed to have worn nothing at all.

But the surrounding voices have become different.

There are more animal sounds, including owls, cats, and even the "squeak" of mice.

The noisy conversations of people also rang in his ears, most of which were parents telling their children worried.

Sherlock opened his eyes.

The smoke of the steam train hovered above the chattering crowd, cats of all colors walked around under people's feet, or wizards in modern clothes or medieval robes saw off their children in front of the platform.

Seeing this scene which was completely different from the society of ordinary people, Sherlock couldn't help but raise an upward arc at the corner of his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and walked onto the Hogwarts Express with his suitcase alone.

There were still many empty cars in front, but Sherlock walked to the back of the train until he reached the last car, and found a compartment inside to sit down.

It will take at least a full day from the departure of the train to Hogwarts.

Taking advantage of this time, he did nothing else, but took out a quill and parchment from the suitcase, placed them on the table, and then quietly leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

Sherlock was trying to remember, he didn't remember much of the original plot.

In the entire series of Harry Potter, except for the first book that he read in the original English version, he learned about the other six books through short video explanations of the movies.

This caused him to have a very one-sided understanding of the plot direction of the original work.

Definitely remember the finale.

Good defeated evil, and the Boy Who Lived defeated the Dark Lord Voldemort.

But in the details of each specific story, he really can't remember how many there are.

Thinking until the train started, Sherlock took a quill and wrote two words on the parchment.

"The Chamber of Secrets", "The Basilisk".

This is his only impression of the second part of Harry Potter.

It seems that a secret room in Hogwarts was opened, and then a big snake named "Basilisk" was released. This snake has been attacking the students in Hogwarts throughout the school year. .

But it seems that none of the students in the castle died because of this, and the conspiracy seems to be related to the mysterious man Voldemort.

He really couldn't remember anything about what happened to the rest.

Unable to recall anything more, Sherlock simply stopped racking his brains. He pulled out his wand, and tapped lightly on the parchment with "Chamber of Secrets" and "Basilisk".

The piece of paper instantly shattered into a ball of shredded paper.

The Crushing Curse is the most difficult of the basic spells, and it is also one of the spells that Sherlock can use proficiently now
After he opened the window of the car and threw the pile of paper scraps out, he suddenly discovered that there was a Ford sedan flying in the sky just above the moving train!
In the car, he could clearly see the two cheerful faces of Harry and Ron.

Harry seemed to see him too, and waved at him excitedly.

Sherlock's eyes widened slightly, and it was only at this moment that he remembered that Harry and Ron's flying car to school seemed to be part of the plot of the original book.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the car above his head that gradually rose into the sky and gradually turned into a small black spot, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Good guy, young people know how to play."

Then he muttered again.

"Did they reach their destination safely? It seems so."

Harry and Ron really felt a lot of fun at this time!
"I seem to have seen Professor Forrest on the train just now!" Harry said happily.

Ron was sitting in the driver's seat, looking like an old driver, he couldn't help but whistled.

"Then he must be impressed with us now!"

"Not only the professor, everyone in Hogwarts will look at us with admiration!"
