Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2613: Board the disaster train
()"Go to King's Cross Station!"
In the hands of Hermione who said this, the icy **** left on the ticket melted slightly due to the body temperature, softening this small piece of paper that was as frozen as a card, and moistening the girl. fingertips...
When Hermione led everyone out of the palace and returned to the royal square in front of the gate, they discovered that there had been a new ice wall on the other side of the square at some point. tunnel entrance.
It's just no wonder that they didn't notice it at the first time when they came, because the hole is really not big, and it can barely accommodate two people entering side by side, maybe it will be too crowded.
Obviously, it was only opened for one person to pass through it, but the "person" who walked in it at the beginning was indeed a little taller than ordinary humans.
In order to leave some leeway in case of an emergency, everyone simply lined up and walked into the new ice cave one by one.
The threatening chill attacked everyone who entered it again, wrapping everyone around. Probably because no one knows the purpose of "that person" leaving a train ticket on the throne to lead people to King's Cross Station in the future. This time, there is really no sound in the tunnel except for the sound of footsteps ——Everyone was full of doubts, guesses, and apprehensions, and no one spoke again.
Until the exit of the tunnel finally appeared in front of them, everyone walked out of the cold ice cave one after another, and their eyes suddenly became clear... For most of the wizards in the team, this platform, which is absolutely familiar, is very convenient. It was reflected in everyone's complex and nostalgic eyes.
The station was originally indoors, except for a few ice edges and icicles hanging upside down due to the damage of the ceiling, there was basically no ice.
The platform was empty, there was no one, and there were no trains on the tracks inside the station. Maybe it was because the Muggle trains had overturned or stopped outside suddenly when the disaster happened. We're on our way!
Hermione stopped for a while, looked around, and said nothing. She led the crowd straight to the wall post between the ninth and tenth platforms, and after checking with her wand, she walked in first.
Then, she saw the old steam train that used to take her and other classmates to Hogwarts again and again.
It just stopped there quietly, calmly and solemnly, like every time before.
Although there is no thick steam coming out of its chimney, although it is more silent than ever before, each of its carriage doors is still wide open, as if still obeying its own rules. Mission, welcome every passenger.
Standing in front of the train, Hermione raised her hand subconsciously to look at the ticket in her hand that had been wrinkled by her along the way, and then finally turned around, looking at the people behind her who were also wrinkled. Those figures who have followed her into the nine and three-quarters platform.
Harry, Ron and the others were also staring blankly at the train in front of them... It may be that everyone recalled some things when they took this train for the first time. The expressions on the faces of the friends in the group look similar, but they are also slightly different.
It's a pity that this moment is not the time to recall those beautiful pasts. Even if you force yourself to think back, you will definitely be pulled back by the **** reality, and then add new trauma to your already painful heart.
Hermione didn't recall anything, and the moment some yellowed pictures suddenly emerged from her mind, she shook her head and swept them out of her heart.
"Everyone!" She raised the ticket in her hand and said loudly, "Anyway, let's go up and have a look first!"
…
To everyone's surprise, at the moment Hermione... the first person stepped into the train, there was the sound of the train starting from the direction of the front of the train.
The movement was not big, and according to past experience, it should take a while for the train to actually start moving.
But that's only for the Hogwarts Express that started normally and operated normally before, and no one can guarantee that this train can still depart step by step as in the past.
So after hearing the sound, everyone who was still waiting on the platform to board the train hurriedly got into the car at the door of the carriage closest to them.
I don't know if the magic left on the train can sense that everyone on the platform has already entered the car or something, the moment Maca, who was at the end, also stepped into the car, the whole train All the compartment doors are automatically closed with a "bang" at the same time.
The next moment, with the sound of the front whistle, the train jolted and started to move slowly...
"Are you all right?"
The door at the end of the passage was violently opened, and Neville's slightly anxious face appeared there. Here Maca watched him look at the few people who chose to board in this carriage, then hurriedly ran through the aisle and went to the carriage at the back.
Then, it was Hermione who brought Harry and Ron in through the door that Neville had come out just now, and looked at Maca a few times.
"Let's go to the front car to meet up first! Ginny and the others are waiting there... we can go to the front of the car and take a look together later." Hermione pointed behind her and said, "We'll inform you later. The others behind."
Looking at a few friends passing by, they also followed Neville, who was a step ahead, to the rear compartment, and then Maca joined several other people here, and followed Hermione's instructions to the front compartment .
When passing by the train window, he stopped slightly and turned his head to look out the window~IndoMTL.com~ The speed of the train that just started has not yet picked up, this carriage is still in the station, and the picture on the window follows the train moving forward Slowly retreating little by little, the platform that was empty again came into his eyes.
"I don't know when I can see it again, the busy and overcrowded scene outside the car window."
After whispering to himself in a voice that was inaudible to others, Maca turned around and stepped forward again, following the pace of the old wizard Rosie who was walking in front of him.
Behind him, the scenery outside the window began to recede faster, and soon the empty King's Cross Station was completely left behind, replaced by a vast and seemingly endless frosty white.
The train is picking up speed, and I believe that it will soon be in this frozen city, running on a land with a truly vast landscape.
It's just a pity, even then, what they can see from the car windows is destined to be endless gray and heart-wrenching ruins.
This is the disaster land of old England shrouded in dark clouds, a place where even the Muggle satellites in space can no longer shine.
