Hermione and Neville's current expressions can be summed up in four words: dumbfounded.
Originally, Hermione's hand had already quietly grasped the wand. Although the few spells she had learned were ineffective, she didn't want to sit still. She didn't want to show her underwear to a few boys. Unexpectedly, Tom solved the battle in a very special way.
Tom is not the kind of person who keeps talking and doesn't make up after he has the upper hand. He retrieved his wand immediately, and then pointed it at the three people lying in a ball on the ground.
Crabbe and Goyle have recovered from the blow, but they have completely lost their courage to resist. They rolled and climbed up Malfoy and ran out of the carriage. Tom kept his wand until they disappeared. in your own vision.
"Sometimes it's better than a wand." He looked at Neville and Hermione, and raised his fist.
"Ah this..." Neville was shocked and didn't know what to say, but Hermione covered her mouth and laughed. With the experience just now, Hermione and Tom became more familiar with Neville, and there was nothing to do in the car, and everyone was chatting all over the world.
"Which college do you want to be assigned to?" Hermione seems to be very interested in this topic. She is now like a candidate who fills in the application after she has scored in the college entrance examination. Know other people's options.
"Gryffindor," Neville said, and he was a little frustrated, "most of my family is from this house, but I don't know if Gryffindor will admit me, I'm more likely to be sorted into Hedge. Patch... But don't worry, grandma said that as long as you receive an admission letter, you must go to school, as long as I'm not Slytherin, I can say anything..."
"Here's a chocolate frog." Tom wanted to divert Neville's attention from the subject of the academy. "Did you collect the pictures inside?"
"Oh, of course!"
When it came to this topic, Neville was much happier. He started to ramble about the wizards in the Chocolate Frog cartoons to Tom and the others. Neville had already collected a whole set of pictures, and he also sent a lot of pictures to Tom and Hermione. two people.
The sky was already dark outside, and the train seemed to be slowing down.
"I feel like we're almost there, change your robes quickly." Hermione found the wizard's robes from the luggage and put it on outside. Tom and Neville also changed into their plain wizard robes and put the remaining snacks in their pockets.
Hermione wanted to take the luggage, but Neville stopped him, he told Hermione that someone would help them carry the luggage.
The train slowed down and finally stopped. The little wizards pushed and shoved, swarming towards the door of the car, and came to a dark and small platform. The moment he came to the platform, the prompt sound of the task completion came in his mind.
Since he arrived at Hogsmeade Village, he completed the task of the second stage of the earthly wandering.
[Mission: Leisurely in the world. Goal: Explore the magical world
Stage 2 Progress: 2/2 Hogsmeade Village - Train Station Map Unlocked
Mission introduction: There are countless places in the magic world waiting for you to explore, always keep your curiosity strong, traveler! Stage 3 0/4
The second-stage task reward: Xueba Double Cultivation Experience Card (8 hours) × 1 - We are good at learning together! 】
He glanced at this card a little and found that its effect was astonishing: it can directly allow you to obtain the learning efficiency of the selected scholar, and if you study with the scholar, the final efficiency can be doubled!
You know, this is an 8-hour experience card! 8 hours is enough for a college monk to learn an elective course from scratch!
The completion of this mission also brought him two pieces of information: one is that there may be multiple unlocking anchor points in a certain scene, and the other is that the number of anchor points to be unlocked every time this mission is explored is doubled.
The sun had set in the west, and the coldness of the Scottish Highlands made Tom shiver, but his body was cold, but his heart was warm.
He looked at Hermione beside him, she looked smaller than before in the cold wind.
"Cold?"
"I'm fine," Hermione pulled out her wool sweater from the neckline. "It's made of cashmere. It's very warm, but you, are you cold?"
"I have a healthy body, how can I be cold?"
At this moment, a lamp swayed above the students' heads - this was not some supernatural event, but an extraordinarily tall person carrying a lamp. A loud voice shouted, "First-year! First-year come this way! Harry, come this way, how are you?"
It turned out to be the big man I saw in Diagon Alley that day.
In the crowded station, the man was particularly conspicuous, and Tom knew his name was Hagrid. At this point Hagrid rubbed Harry's hair with his giant palms, then continued shouting, "Any first-year students? Watch out for all the first-year students under your feet!"
He and Hermione squeezed in with Neville too.
The first-year students and the seniors and sisters did not walk the same way. They followed Hagrid down a steep and narrow downhill. Maybe it was because of the rain, and the only light source was the lamp in Hagrid's hand. Whenever Tom went downhill, he couldn't help but think of a British drama.
"Hermione, what's your favorite TV show?"
"Uh, there are many..."
"Whenever I go downhill, I think of a British drama." He showed an evil smile, and then recited the classic lines: When a country is going downhill, it needs to—
"Need someone to sit in the driver's seat and put a foot on the accelerator?" Hermione continued with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Then Hermione stepped into a small pit and almost fell, but fortunately Tom was quick to hold her.
He drew out his wand: "Fluorescent flashes!"
There was a small group of faint light from the tip of his wand, that is, the road was dark enough now, otherwise this light would be completely inconspicuous.
But it's better than nothing, at least Tom and the people around him won't wrestle.
"Fortunately, it didn't rain today. If it does, I really don't know how to go this way." Ron muttered and complained not far away.
After turning a corner, a black lake suddenly opened at the end of the narrow path. There were a group of boats parked by the lake. On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stood a towering castle. The castle was lined with spires and windows. Glittering under the stars.
"This is Hogwarts," Hagrid called to the little wizards.
Looking at the magnificent castle that was lit up with lights, Tom felt that something was surging in his heart, and a thousand words were condensed into one sentence:
Hello, Hogwarts.
