Chapter 525 Knight Bus

"Where is Albert going?"

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Nia stood at the door with the fat Tom cat in her arms, watching Albert disappear at the door of the house.

Putting down her waving arms, Nia turned her head to look at her parents. She always felt that her family seemed to be hiding something from her.

"Someone invited him to be a guest. You know, your brother is very good, and managing some contacts will be very helpful for his future." Daisy said softly.

Herb glanced at his wife and nodded. This is indeed true.

However, Albert did not go to an academic gathering this time, but went to his girlfriend's house for dinner.

The night before yesterday, Albert finally confessed to them that he had a girlfriend.

At that time, both Herb and Daisy showed such expressions. In fact, they were never worried that Albert would not find a girlfriend. After all, he is so good, and he has won an international wizard chess championship, how could he not find a girlfriend? To girlfriend?

The two are more worried that they have nothing in common.

However, hearing that the beautiful red-haired girl named Isobel is also a genius, the couple couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. There must be something to talk about between geniuses.

Sure enough, his son reassured them as always.

It's just that Nia seems to be a little disgusted with these things, so the couple can only help hide it for the time being.

It's all because they didn't fulfill their responsibilities as parents and let Albert take his sister all the time, which made Nia have a strong dependence and admiration on Albert.

This situation can only gradually disappear after Nia grows up.

Albert walked to a remote street, took out a pocket watch from his pocket to check the time, raised his head and looked around, and soon saw a bus coming this way.

He quickly raised his wand and waved it forward.

A few seconds later, a bright purple three-decker bus stopped in front of him and almost hit a pedestrian on the side of the road.

If it weren't for magic, the Knight Bus would have killed a bunch of Muggles.

A young man wearing a purple uniform, about twenty-five years old, stood at the door of the bus, took out a crumpled note from his pocket, and read the words fluently, "Welcome to the bus, this is for Emergency passenger transport for witches or wizards in distress. Just stick out your wand and step on board, and we'll take you anywhere you want. My name is James Joyce, it's you conductor."

After finishing speaking, he paused, looked up and down Albert's clothes and face, and suddenly said, "You are Albert Anderson, right?"

"Can't Muggles see this Knight Bus?" Albert changed the subject. There were other Muggles nearby, but no one noticed the bus.

"If you don't listen carefully, if you don't look carefully, they won't notice anything." Joyce looked at Albert's face with interest, and suddenly said, "The youngest international wizard chess champion Mr. Anderson Right, it's an honor to meet you."

"To be honest, no one in the UK has won an international wizard chess championship for a long time!" After finishing speaking, he actually wanted to shake Albert's hand, "You must be the most important person I have received during my time as a conductor." Wizard."

"You will definitely receive wizards who are more important than me next summer." Albert began to take Galleon out of his pocket, "How much does it cost to go to Dingworth Village in Cornwall?"

"Nine Sickles," said Joyce, "next summer, I'm done with it."

"Nine silver Sickles." Albert quickly paid the money and got into the car. All kinds of chairs in the car were randomly surrounded by the windows. A few unlucky wizards seemed to be stopped suddenly by the car and were severely beaten. The one fell to the ground and was getting up muttering.

With a loud bang, the wizard who was just about to get up fell down again due to inertia.

"It's a terrible feeling." If Albert hadn't grabbed the railing next to him in time, he probably wouldn't be much better than them.

"Ern, this is Anderson. I didn't expect the champion to ride our Knights bus." Joyce knocked on the window glass and said to the driver with a smile, "This is our driver, Ern Pullan."

"Oh, that Anderson?" The driver turned his head and looked at Albert, not paying attention to the front at all.

"Be careful, you're about to hit it!" Albert reminded loudly. Although he knew that a car accident should be unlikely, he still felt that having a magic wand in his hand could give him a sense of security.

When the Knight bus was about to hit the car in front, the car parked on the side of the road seemed to have a pair of legs, and it jumped away by itself, which felt a little weird.

"Come with me." Joyce took him to an empty bed on the second floor, and then gave him the bus ticket, "You need to take a detour to Dingworth Village, I suggest you sit down first Take a break. Of course, if you want to go first, you need to tip."

"I hope there is no detour."

As he spoke, Albert took out a Galleon from his pocket.

"Oh, you are so generous, of course there is no problem." Joyce was a little surprised to see the Garen that Albert stuffed into his hand, and said in surprise.

"But we have to let Mrs. Marsh go down first."

At this moment, there was the sound of vomiting and a terrible clattering sound from the lower floor, "She is very uncomfortable. You will be able to reach your destination in about ten minutes at most."

After speaking, he heard another bang, and he almost fell to the ground, and the scenery outside the window changed again.

"Abergavenny here. Next stop, the village of Dingworth in Cornwall."

The car rumbled along a narrow country road, and the trees on both sides jumped out of the way to make way for the two unlicensed buses, for fear of being ruthlessly run over.

A witch gets out of the car with Joyce's help, and she looks a little bad.

Soon, the Knight Bus continued to drive forward for a certain distance, and then there was another loud bang, and the scenery outside the window changed again.

"What a terrible experience, better not ride this thing next time."

Riding in a bus that pings and bangs and jumps hundreds of miles in one go is really not a good experience. Albert nearly fell five times, felt like throwing up, and was worse off riding the Knight Bus than using a Portkey.

The car suddenly drove onto a main road in the downtown area, and then appeared on a bridge again, and then he finally remembered the call of the arrival of Dingworth Village in his ears.

finally reached.

Albert couldn't help but let go, and left the car in a hurry. He didn't want to stay in the car for a moment.

Soon, he heard a bang in his ear, and the Knight Bus disappeared again.

"Apparition-like technology?" Albert muttered. "No wonder, I can hear the sound of bang every time, but the moving distance doesn't seem to be very long."

He was a little curious, how on earth the wizards could apparate the whole car together.

Albert withdrew his thoughts, looked up and looked around. This is a small town by the sea, and there are no other Muggles around.

How can I find Isobel's home?

Albert sent a message to Isobel, then walked along the street, and soon found that his worries were unnecessary, he saw Isobel waving at him not far away.

It's just, what's going on with the one next to her.

Albert walked over quickly, watching a young man looking at himself with bad eyes.

"Isobel, this is..." the man asked first.

"Albert Anderson, his boyfriend, who are you?" Albert looked at the other party with oppressive eyes, quickly figured out what was going on, and muttered, "What a poor guy .”

"You're a little faster than I expected."

"This is the effect of money ability." Albert smiled and took Isobel's hand and walked forward, leaving behind the Muggle youth who stared blankly at the two of them leaving.

"Your charm is really good." Albert couldn't help teasing, "It's a pity, he is not the protagonist in the novel, and he can't catch up with your beautiful heroine."
