Chapter 6: Luna Lovegood

First of September,

It is the day when Hogwarts will start school. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

Today, whether you are a senior student at Hogwarts or a new student this year, you basically have to choose to go to King's Cross Station and take the Hogwarts Express train to Hogwarts.

Pushing his luggage, Wilkes hurried through King's Cross Station.

He got a cart to carry his luggage, and there is a birdcage above his luggage. Inside the birdcage, he put his pet, a bluebird with spots on its body.

"This station is huge; I am tired of walking and pushing the luggage. I wish Yule is here and take me directly to Hogwarts." Wilkes sighed deeply.

Nine and three-quarters of the station.

Passing between Platform 9 and Platform 10, Wilkes finally reached the Hogwarts Express train, and there were no more people on the platform at this time.

Wilkes did not waste time and entered directly into the nearest carriage.

Magic is like a drug. Once you touch it, you cannot stop using it.

If Yule did not remind Wilkes, he had almost forgotten the start of Hogwarts.

Wilkes sighed in relief after getting into the carriage, then calmed down and walked into the carriage.

As for the luggage, when the train arrives at the station there, someone indeed will send it to the dormitory at Hogwarts. So, there is nothing to worry about.

But before leaving his luggage, Wilkes picked up his birdcage and walked in the corridor of the carriage.

After passing several carriages, Wilkes could not help but be surprised: "Uh, this carriage looks comfortable."

There are almost only one or two people in each carriage, and they are basically new students. Perhaps this is a special treat for new students?

After walking for a while, I could not see Harry Potter here as in the original movie, but Wilkes suddenly stopped when he thought about Harry Potter's identity.

He cannot get in touch with Harry Potter, at least not now. He has to be careful; he came in by a "relationship," and his reputation...

"I'm afraid someone at Hogwarts paid attention to me, as Borgin said. I guess it's not Snape or..." Thinking of this, Wilkes started shivering.

I cannot afford to offend him, so I'd better keep quiet.

While thinking about it, Wilkes started looking for a carriage with few people.

Suddenly, Wilkes stopped in front of a carriage again, his eyes lit up. There was only one person in this carriage, and he recognized who she was, so he carried his birdcage and went in.

"Can I sit here?" Wilkes greeted politely but apparently sat down before she could answer.

After sitting down, Wilkes stared at the other person in this carriage interestingly. If he was right, she should be Luna.

His long pale blonde hair and gray eyes revealed a strange presence and a radish-shaped earring she was putting, but she did not seem to express any sign to Wilkes.

Luna seemed to be very interested in the birdcage that Wilkes was holding, tilted her head, and said curiously:

"Is this your pet? Is not it an absolute bird?"

"Um." Wilkes was a little surprised when he heard her; it was hard to tell from the appearance of the Bird.

"Yes, I bought it not long ago. I thought the owl was too noisy, so I used it as my owl."

The corner of Wilkes's mouth curled up, and he began to explain.

An absolute sound bird, a kind of Bird that does not make a sound in its entire life, will not make a sound until the moment of death.

Moreover, the Absolute Bird is not cheap. Its feathers are also necessary materials for making Veritaserum and memoirs.

It was initially bought from a dark wizard when Wilkes wanted to test whether the system could be triggered when walking around in Knockturn Alley.

Luna looked curious: "Does it really not scream?"

"It will not."

...

There was a brief silence, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

After hesitating for a moment, Luna, who had been staring at the birdcage in Wilkes's hand, whispered:

"I... can I touch it?"

It seems that she is not good at communicating with people or has had no friends since she was a child and has never asked others. Luna looks a little dull at the moment.

"Of course, it's okay!" Wilkes was not as shy as a child, and after opening the cage, he rudely caught the Absolute Bird in the cage.

The absolute Bird that was grasped by Wilkes and seemed to be used to the rudeness of his master. A sign of helplessness flashed in its eyes.

It used to be valued by others, so it never wanted to meet a master, and it did not care about getting any precious master at all!

Indeed, for Wilkes, the Absolute Bird is really not very much valued.

Since buying it, Wilkes wanted to give it a try to see if obtaining a precious magical creature for the first time would trigger the system or not?

Obviously, the system did not respond in the end.

Because of this, the Bird received the most casual treatment of its kind...
