The summer vacation seems to pass a little quicker, and while everyone is still immersed in the happy time of the summer vacation, the second school year has just arrived.
"Augustus, it's a pity that your mother and I have a banquet to attend today. We can't take you to the station. You have to get on the carriage yourself in a while, and it will take you directly to King's Cross Station." In the manor restaurant, Clovis explained to Augustus while eating breakfast.
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry, I'll go by myself." Augustus nodded and picked up the cup of black tea in his hand.
After breakfast, Clovis took Augustus to the carriage stop of the manor. Under Clovis's watch, Augustus boarded the carriage, and then the carriage began to lift off and accelerate, and soon disappeared. Over Julius Manor.
At King's Cross Station, the carriage stopped slowly, Augustus got off the carriage, surrounded by crowds of people, the afternoon sun swayed wantonly in the station, and there were passers-by with luggage and packages everywhere.
"Mr. Augustus! Here." Harry waved at Augustus, Augustus looked at the station, and Harry and Ron were gesturing at him on the spot anxiously.
Augustus frowned and walked towards Harry with the eagle and luggage.
"What are you two doing, the train will start in a minute, why haven't you entered the station yet?"
There was a hint of joy in Harry's eyes. "The two of us don't know why, but we can't get on the platform now. It's like it's been enchanted, it's fixed. You must have something to do, right?"
Augustus looked suspiciously at the center of platforms 9 and 10. Under the action of the Eye of Inquiry, a stone wall technique was indeed cast there, which had been completely blocked. Pull out the silver wand, a quick release. The red light hit, and to Augustus's surprise, the target did not respond. What's going on here, is the caster's level high enough to ignore the effects of all fifth-level magic? Augustus pondered for a while and threw a magic analysis of the past. The feedback information made Augustus realize that it turned out to be a magical effect that did not belong to this system, so it is useless to solve the solid quickly. In other words, it is not a human cast spell. Since this is easy to handle, just destroy it directly. A red laser with a high temperature flew out. Under the high-temperature cutting action of the laser, the stone wall was quickly divided.
"Okay, you can go in now." Augustus looked at Harry Ron next to him and motioned them to go in first.
Harry and Ron were not in a hurry to go in, and their expressions were a little strange at this time.
"What's the matter? If you don't get in, the train will leave." Augustus asked strangely.
"It's too late, now the time train has started!" Harry shrugged with helplessness in his eyes.
Augustus looked at his watch and patted his forehead in annoyance, why every time he met the two of them, it was nothing good.
"Harry!" Ron exclaimed eyes lit up. "Cars!" "What's the matter?" "We can drive to Hogwarts!" "But I think—"
"We're stuck, right? We've got to get back to school, don't we? In a real emergency, little wizards can use magic too. Section 19 of the Restrictions Regulations or what.. ' Harry went from panic to excitement. "Can you drive?" "No problem," Ron said, turning to Augustus. "Come on, we can keep up with the Hogwarts Express if we catch up." Walk through the curious crowd, out of the station, and back next to the old Ford Anglia parked on the side road. With a few taps of his wand, Ron opened the spacious suitcase. They moved the boxes in and sat all in.
. "Look to see if anyone is paying attention to us," said Ron, making another point with his wand and starting the car. Harry stuck his head out the window: there were rumbles of cars on the road, but their street was empty.
"no one."
Ron pressed a small silver button on the dashboard. Their car disappeared -- both of them disappeared. Harry could feel his seat vibrate, he could hear the engine, he could feel his hands on his knees, his glasses on the bridge of his nose, he could see. But all he had left was a pair of eyes, a few feet off the ground, floating on a dirty street full of parked cars.
"Take off," said Ron's voice to his right. The ground and filthy buildings on both sides sank and disappeared for a while. The cars rose higher and higher, and a few seconds later the entire city of London unfolded beneath them, smoky and gleaming. With a sudden pop, the car, Harry, and Ron reappeared. "Alas," said Ron, poking at the invisible booster, "there's something wrong with the switch—"
"I'll take a look." Augustus lost a repair as before, and the switch instantly restarted.
Together they slammed that button. The car disappeared but soon reappeared in flickering form. "Sit down!" Ron shouted, stomping on the accelerator, and they shot straight into the low-altitude cotton-wool clouds, and everything dimmed. "What now?" Harry asked, dazzled by the clouds pressing down on him.
"We need to see the train to know which way to go," Augustus said to Ron, who was driving in the front row.
"Still descend - quick - "
They descended under the clouds again, twisting their bodies and squinting to the ground.
"See!" cried Harry. "Just ahead—there!"
The Hogwarts Express galloped beneath them like a red snake.
"Due North," Ron said to the compass on the dashboard, "Okay, we'll just have to come down and take a look every half hour. Sit down..." The car slid into the clouds. A minute later, they were bursting into the blinding sunlight.
This is another world. The wheels swept the soft sea of clouds, and under the dazzling white sun, the sky was bright and blue, and it was boundless.
"Now we just have to watch out for planes," Ron said.
They seemed to have entered a mythical dream. It was the best way to travel, Harry thought: in a sun-filled car, among swirling, Tallinn-like clouds, with a big bag of toffees under the dash, and imagine when they were magical Fred and George had envious expressions on their faces as the earth fell from the sky and landed smoothly on the large lawn in front of Hogwarts Castle.
From time to time, clouds floated over Augustus' clothes, and the hot sun rays passed through the sunroof of the car and shone on Augustus' long golden hair. The colorful rays of light flickered between the black robes through the window edges. The sky and the clouds were side by side, everything. It's like a long-rehearsed sky ballet.
