Chapter 651 Knight Bus

The next day, after everyone had breakfast, they were going back to Hogwarts. Tonks and Lupin escorted them, and Professor McGonagall went back to school last night.

Fish did not go with him, because he had heard that this time he was going back not by the Hogwarts Express, but by the Knights Bus.

"When the Knight Bus first started, there were quite a few pure-blood wizards who wrote to the Daily Prophet's Readers column to resist this 'Muggle insult'," Mr Weasley was talking to Fiji. Xu introduced the means of transport they were about to take, "but more wizards welcomed it, and it is now one of the indispensable means of transport in England!"

"That bus can fly like Arthur's car meow?"

(ω)

The cat asked excitedly.

"Ahahaha..." Mr. Weasley laughed dryly, "You can fly, but they seldom do it. Most of the time they run on the ground. In fact, a lot of the inspiration for my car came from the Cavalier Bus. , such as flying, such as stealth... Unfortunately, the function of the Knight Bus that can automatically jump away all obstacles in front of me, I have never been able to understand the principle..."

As he spoke, Mr. Weasley, who was still a little embarrassed, gradually became more interested, but when he found that Mrs. Weasley was staring at him fiercely, his voice quickly faded.

On the other side, Neville's grandmother was talking to Neville. Sirius also pulled Harry and whispered something, and secretly stuffed him a small package. Fish shook his ears and heard, but I don't care.

After saying goodbye to everyone else, Fish and the others walked out of No. 12 Grimmauld Place and came to the sidewalk. Behind them, No. 12 was shrinking rapidly, and the houses on both sides stretched out to squeeze it. After a while it disappeared.

"Come on, the sooner the car is, the better." Tonks said, glancing at the square, Harry felt a little nervous in her eyes. Lupin waved his right hand, his wand still in his hand.

"boom!"

A bright purple three-story bus fell from the sky and nearly hit a lamppost, but the lamppost jumped back to avoid it.

"Welcome to the Knight Bus!"

The conductor Stan Thorpark, who had met Harry once, jumped down and greeted everyone warmly to get on the bus.

"We got it, thank you," Tonks said quickly. "Get in, get in..."

As she spoke, she pushed Harry and the others toward the car.

Harry avoided Stan's gaze a little embarrassedly, because the last time he took the Knights Bus, it was Neville's name, and now Neville was next to him...

But his worries were obviously superfluous, for when Fish appeared on the bus, there was a commotion.

Except for a few passengers who were lucky enough to be rescued by Mao Mao, those wizards who only knew Feish through newspapers were very excited after seeing Mao Mao for the first time. want to talk to him.

The conductor, Stan, stood in front of Fish with the driver, Ernest Pullen, loudly appeasing the crowd. He didn't even have time to say hello to Harry, but just nodded at him from a distance.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, then followed Ron, Ginny, and Tonks to the upper deck, while the twins, Neville, and Lupin walked to the back of the car, with only Hermione remaining in Phil. Xu's side.

The conductor Stan and the driver, Ernest, managed to appease everyone. After receiving twenty-two silver sikos from Hermione, they went back to Lupin and the others to collect the money.

As for Fish, he leaned over to the driver and asked, "Ernest, can Fish climb on top of the car, meow?"

(ω)

"Just call me Erne," said the driver, wearing thick glasses. "You're safer in the car."

Hermione on the side also persuaded: "If Minerva finds out, she will tell you again."

The idea of ​​climbing to the roof to blow air was discouraged by the driver and Hermione, so Fish had to settle for the next best thing, asking to sit next to the driver's seat and watch him drive.

Ernest naturally agreed to this small request. Besides, unlike Muggle buses, the stools of the Knight Bus are not fixed on the bus, and even the shapes are various, look. It looks like the passenger brought it here.

Hermione was very objectionable to this, because she felt that such a design was so unreasonable, so she kept muttering about the bad experience when she and Fisher brought the chair in.

The car started, not too fast for Fish, but Ernest's driving style was very wild. sidewalk.

Then there was another loud bang, and the whole car slammed into a sudden brake, causing all the passengers to rush forward. Many people's chairs were turned over because of this, and Hermione screamed and hugged the person beside her. Fish, and the cat also hugged her, protecting her from falling.

In fact... this design doesn't seem to be so bad?

Hermione, who was held in Fish's arms, thought so...

The next moment, the car jerked again, and they sped along a highway, the three-story knight bus swaying from side to side, occasionally tilting at a terrifying angle, as if it could flip over at any moment.

"Meowhahaha! Your car is much more interesting than the Hogwarts train meow!"

(≧≦)

Excited, Fisch simply stood up, put his arm around Hermione, grabbed the back of the driver's seat with the other, and said to Ernest jokingly, "Can you drive a little faster, Ern?"

"Of course no problem!" Ernest replied with a big laugh.

His driving skills have always been subject to complaints from passengers, and it is rare for anyone to praise him, and he is still the famous Fish McGonagall, which makes Ernest very happy...

Then he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Amid the exclamations of other passengers and the crashing of luggage, the knight bus swayed more exaggeratedly, weaving in the Muggle traffic, and occasionally there were vehicles or obstacles that were too late to avoid. The influence of the magic of the car itself automatically jumped to the side, while the surrounding Muggles couldn't notice it at all.

boom!

The chairs slid back, and the Knight Bus hopped from the Birmingham Highway onto a quiet country lane, all the way through tight bends. Hedges jumped out of the way as the car rolled left and right on the side of the road.

They drove up a main road in the downtown area, a viaduct in the mountains, and then a cold and windy street between tall buildings, each time with a loud bang.

Occasionally, passengers got off the bus halfway, and I didn't know if they really arrived at the station, or they couldn't stand the toss and wanted to escape.

"Such a bus can still operate for more than a hundred years..." Hermione, who had been burying her head in Fisher's arms, scolded her not long after driving.

Even with Feixu protecting her, she still felt that her stomach was suffering a lot, and her whole head was dizzy. down.

Although Hermione didn't see the situation of the other passengers with her own eyes, the frequent vomiting and repeated exclamations behind her had already explained everything.

After a thrilling ride, the Knight Bus finally came to a wobbly stop outside the gates of Hogwarts.

Except for Fei Xu, everyone else rushed down from the car as if they were fleeing.

"I changed my mind," Ron swore firmly, clutching his still-surging stomach and his bruised forehead, "I don't want to sit on this thing ever again!"

Tonks also said puzzledly: "It feels like today's Knight Bus is much faster than usual..."

Lu Ping, who was on the same floor as Fei Xu, glanced at some unfinished cats, and then sighed in unison.

"What's wrong meow?"

(ω)

Feixu, who noticed their gaze, looked back confidently.

"No, nothing..." George and Fred waved their hands in sync. "We just think... Dad's car is nothing compared to the knight."

"That's right, meow!" Fish nodded his head vigorously, agreeing, "This car is much more interesting than the one from Asher, meow!"

"Okay, it's time for you to go in." Tonks probably guessed why the Knight Bus was so wild today, she rolled her eyes covertly, then glanced vigilantly at the secluded street, "May you be in school. Have a great time there.”

Harry smiled dryly and didn't say a word, and the thought of going to Snape's tutoring in the future didn't make him feel any pleasure.

And the twins, shaking their heads neatly, said, "That toad in Umbridge isn't going to make our campus life happy."

"Speaking of toads... Neville Leif is about to run away again, meow."

(ΦωΦ)

Fisher pointed to the toad that was hopping in the snow not far away and reminded.

"Oh! God!"

Neville hurried over to grab Leif and put it back into his pocket.

Just as everyone was gag, Lupin leaned over to Harry and whispered, "Harry, I know you don't like Snape, but he's a superb Occlumency, and we -- including Sirius, have I hope you learn to protect yourself, so study hard, okay?"

"Okay," Harry replied heavily, looking up at Lupin and saying goodbye to him in a low mood: "Goodbye..."

After saying goodbye to Lupin and Tonks, they were talking and laughing as they walked towards the castle along the icy driveway.
