I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #104 - Chapter 104 Knight Bus

After Ian came to the kitchen, he simply put yesterday’s leftover food in the oven to reheat it. He also chose to fry a few eggs as a supplement and made some fresh jam before asking Hermione to join him for lunch.

At the dinner table, Ian suddenly asked out of curiosity: “Hermione, do you have any plans for the next few days?”

“No, I’m happy right now anyway.” Hermione replied without looking up.

After hearing Hermione’s answer, Ian extended the invitation. “What? Let’s go shopping in Diagon Alley later in the afternoon?”

The girl put down the tableware, looked at Ian, and said indifferently: “It’s okay, you can go wherever you want. But dad is not at home, so we can only take a taxi or take the subway.”

“Ha, there’s no need to worry about this. I’ll show you some interesting vehicles in a moment.” Ian said pretending to be mysterious.

“Are you crazy? Whether it’s a broomstick or a flying carpet in London, if someone discovers us, we’ll be finished…”

Seeing Hermione’s anxious expression, Ian revealed a little bit. “Don’t worry, it’s absolutely legal and won’t cause us any trouble. And… the journey is quite exciting.”

Ian only said this, and no matter how Hermione pressed him, he refused to reveal the rest.

Anyone who has ever raised a cat knows that the cat cannot grab the cat teasing stick at once, otherwise it will lose its fun. This is true for cats, not to mention the little Gryffindor lioness…

Seeing that the girl was getting a little impatient, and when she felt that the heat was about the same, she said: “Of course it’s the Knight Bus…”

…

About half an hour after lunch, when Hermione had changed her clothes, Ian took her outside and found a relatively secluded intersection. He took out his wand and started summoning the Knight Bus according to the method that Old Tom had taught him.

Just when Hermione thought that Ian was playing a prank to trick her, there was a slight squeezing sound, and then a Muggle-like bus stopped in front of her.

It also has wheels and big lights. It is three stories high. Looking through the window, there are no seats inside, only a bed with brass pillars, and there is a holder for lighting candles beside the bed.

Looking across the carriage to the driver’s cab, he unexpectedly found a small, dried head hanging in the driver’s cab.

This kind of small head originates from the headhunting culture of South America. They hunt the heads of their enemies and then use special head shrinking techniques to shrink the heads to the size of a baby’s head. This kind of decoration is very popular in South America, and both dark wizards and regular wizards like it very much.

While Hermione was still observing the interior of the car, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

“Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, a passenger bus for witches or wizards in distress. Just stick out your wand and step on, and we can take you wherever you want to go. Of course, we only Can travel on land.”

A young man stood at the door armrest, wearing a uniform and a hat tilted on his head. He smiled brightly at this moment: “My name is Stan Sampack, and I am your conductor today.”

Ian looked at Hermione who was still dazed, patted her gently, and said teasingly: “What? I haven’t seen a bus before… Get on the bus, don’t be in a daze.”

The first thing he did after getting on the bus was to secure Hermione. Although it was also Ian’s first time to ride on the Knight Bus, he had seen it in movies and TV shows and knew how brutal it was to drive.

After both of them had fixed themselves, they turned to the conductor Stan and said, “Go to Diagon Alley, two tickets.”

After hearing this, Stan, the conductor, loudly said to the cab: “Destination, Diagon Alley.” Then he turned his head, smiled, and said to Ian: “Two tickets, Chenghui, a total of 15 Sickles.”

Knight bus fares are not cheap, and Ian was prepared for this. After all, in the original book, Harry spent 11 Sickles to go from Privet Drive to the Leaky Cauldron. It can be seen that… ordinary people really can’t afford this high-end means of transportation called “bus”.

After the conductor Stan took the one galleone handed over by Ian, he skillfully swiped the ticket vending machine twice with his hand, and then handed him both tickets. “You can get a cup of hot cocoa if you add 2 more Sickles, add…”

“Okay, just a cup of hot cocoa. You don’t need any change. The journey is very short. We don’t need towels and toothbrushes…” Ian heard this familiar line again and couldn’t help but interrupt the conductor Stan’s next words.

Because he saw Hermione’s eagerness to talk since she got in the car, and he almost wrote the words “Come talk to me” on her face.

If it were from a game perspective, then there must be a big dark gold exclamation mark on the girl’s head. It was just her good upbringing that prevented her from interrupting other people’s communication.

Stan, the conductor, was not annoyed when he heard this, shrugged, turned around, poured a cup of hot cocoa and handed it to Ian.

After that, he walked to the cab alone to chat with the driver. He seemed to have noticed that the two passengers disliked him for being redundant, so he wouldn’t be in the way.

Ian took the hot cocoa and handed it to Hermione, then said: “The Knight Bus was a bill proposed by the British Minister of Magic, Dugald McGuffey, for the purpose of…”

Soon, Hermione understood the cause and effect of the Knight Bus, and said with some amazement: “It’s unbelievable that I have lived in the Muggle world for 12 years, and I have never discovered that there is such a magical bus hidden around me.”

Ian’s girl’s expression was a bit joking as she said:

“Don’t sigh. If I were you, I would either drink the cocoa or put it far away from you. If you don’t want your clothes to turn into chocolate color, it will be very exciting to drive after a while. .”

Today, the overall color of Hermione’s clothing is very elegant, including an off-white windbreaker, a knee-length black woolen skirt, and a pair of khaki short Martin boots on her feet. Well, I just changed into a pair of cotton stockings today.

As soon as Ian finished speaking, there was a “bang” sound, and the car flew forward quickly with strong inertia.

It was a complete rampage along the way.

Sometimes they even jump forward.

And everything in its path jumped out of the way. When the car drove past, these lamp posts, mailboxes, trash cans, trees, and even Muggle cars jumped back to their original positions.

This is no longer something that can be explained by twisted space. If I had to find a word to describe it, perhaps only ‘unreasonable’ could barely be worthy of the moving Knight Bus.

At this time, Hermione couldn’t care less about chatting, and stared at the absurd and bizarre scenery outside the window without blinking. Distorted and clear, she even saw the car passing between the two people just for a moment, and she could still hear the conversation between the two in fragments.

Ian saw the girl looking out the window seriously, and couldn’t help but whisper: “It’s amazing. As long as you get used to its crazy driving, this kind of trip is full of fun.”

Hermione turned her head, her eyes sparkling.

“Indeed, but what kind of magic is used in this car?”

Ian’s face froze when he heard this, it was obvious that Hermione had got the point. But he didn’t panic, and began to talk seriously: “The main subject should be alchemy, maybe… with some ancient magic texts, maybe… and door keys, probably…”

Seeing Hermione’s half-smiling expression, he could only smile bitterly and said, “Well… I don’t know.”

“If you don’t know, you don’t know, but you are not allowed to lie to me in the future!” Hermione also raised her fist and lightly hit Ian on the shoulder.

…

About 5 minutes later, with a harsh brake sound and a strong inertial push, the Knight Bus stopped.

Since Ian had firmly fixed himself and Hermione on the steel frame bed when they got into the car, this inertia only caused them to lean forward slightly.

“Diagon Alley, we’ve arrived! Please get out of the car.” The conductor Stan walked out of the cab at this time.
