Chapter 2330 Heading to Hogwarts
Soon, time fast-forwarded to the admission day.
Ellie also packed up and saluted, and came to the legendary Nine and Three Quarters Station.
Of course, as a teacher, Ellie naturally no longer needs to wear uniforms like those students, but instead wears an all-black robe and a long three-cornered hat, looking like a witch.
In addition, Ellie did not salute with a big bag like other students, but just took a handbag and went straight to the train.
Unlike modern trains, the train here does not seem to have a limit on the number of seats. Perhaps because of the sudden incident, Professor McGonagall did not reserve a teacher's seat for Ellie, but even so, she gave Ellie A box was arranged at the end near the prefect's carriage, which was obviously quite good for Ellie.
Ellie walked into the box, confirmed the location, then put the handbag and hat on the table, and then took out a book and started to read. After a while, the door of the compartment opened, and then a girl with a large suitcase walked in. She first glanced at Ellie curiously, and then asked.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?"
"..."
Ellie glanced at the other party, then nodded slightly. Hmm... In fact, you can tell without asking, this girl is none other than Hermione Granger from the trio of Harry Potter protagonists.
"Hi, my name is Hermione Granger."
Sure enough, not long after sitting down, Hermione greeted Ellie generously.
"Are you a freshman going to Hogwarts too? What's your name?"
"Just call me Ellie."
"So Ellie, you can call me Hermione too... Is this owl your pet? It's so cute. I also have a cat named Crookshanks. Look, isn't it interesting? Honestly , I never thought that I would be a wizard...... Do you know? I originally thought that wizards were just legends or fairy tales, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people......"
Perhaps it was because of the upcoming trip to Hogwarts, Hermione seemed quite excited. She sat next to Ellie, talking about her own story. When she received the notice from herself, her parents were happy for her. Everyone We went to Diagon Alley together to buy things that we had never heard of, and she also read a lot of books to learn the knowledge, including Hogwarts school history and so on...
"I tried a few simple spells at home, just for practice, and they all worked. No one in my family knew magic, so I was surprised but delighted when I got the offer. I performed Investigation, if it is correct, this is one of the best magic schools——I have memorized all the textbooks, of course I hope this can be used..."
“Knowledge on paper alone is not enough.”
Ellie turned a page of the book and reminded in a low voice that, in all fairness, she still likes the role of Hermione, so she doesn't mind giving her some pointers.
"And you might have a hard time at Hogwarts."
"Huh? Why, why?"
Hermione was naturally very happy to hear that Ellie was willing to talk, but Hermione was a little confused about what she said.
"Because you're so smart, this will cause quite a few people to be jealous. But most importantly, your parents are ordinary people...Many wizards look down on people like you, they call you 'mudbloods'... …I think you can tell that it's not a good title."
"Yes, is that so?"
Facing Ellie's answer, Hermione seemed a little surprised and at a loss. It's no wonder that before she came to Hogwarts, she only had a beautiful vision for this group, but the reality is obviously more than she imagined. Be more cruel.
"Yeah, so you'd better be prepared, the world isn't as rosy as you think it is."
"...Anyway, thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention."
Hermione also smiled at Ellie at the moment, then she stared at the girl curiously and asked.
"By the way, what about you? What do you think of wizards?"
"...I hate wizards."
However, Ellie gave Hermione an unexpected answer.
"Huh? Why, why?"
"It's very simple, because wizards think they are superior to others, but they have not made any contribution to this world. They are just parasites in this society, greedily absorbing the nutrients, and acting recklessly but arrogantly. But other than that Besides, they don't contribute anything to the society, the world and the whole human race, they don't make the world better, they don't improve people's quality of life, improve the quality of life...so in my opinion Come on, the existence of wizards is useless at all."
"Uh…………………"
Facing Ellie's indifferent answer, Hermione didn't know what to say. For a while, the atmosphere in the box was a little dull. After a while, Hermione looked at Ellie curiously again.
"Then...why are you going to Hogwarts?"
"I was invited."
"invite?"
Hearing this, Hermione still wanted to ask something, but at this moment, the door of the box was knocked suddenly, and then a big fat boy opened the door, and looked in a little timidly.
"That... sorry, I want to ask, have you seen my toad?"
"........."
Facing the boy's question, Hermione shook her head, while Ellie silently turned a page of the book without speaking.
"Oh, what luck, I lost it again!"
Seeing that the two did not give the answer he hoped for, the fat boy burst into tears.
"It, it always wants to run away from me! Why, why always!"
"I'll help you find it too."
Hearing this, Hermione also stood up and introduced herself to the fat boy.
"My name is Hermione Granger, what's your name?"
"I, I'm Neville Longbottom..."
Hearing Hermione's inquiry, the fat boy also answered his name tremblingly, and at this moment, Ellie finally looked away from the book, and then she took out the wand from the side pocket, Lightly tap Neville's feet, and soon there was a "bang" of smoke, and a toad appeared there the next moment.
"Oh my God, my toad!!"
Seeing the toad, Neville screamed and picked it up, then thanked Ellie excitedly.
"Thank you, thank you so much..."
"........."
Faced with Neville's thank you, Ellie didn't say anything, but took back her wand again, and then turned her attention back to the book.
Holding the lost toad in his arms, Neville happily left, and the box quickly returned to calm, while Hermione sat opposite Ellie again, looking at her curiously.
"You are so powerful, what kind of witchcraft was that just now? And you don't seem to be reciting a spell."
"Just some tricks."
Facing Hermione's curious question, Ellie answered lightly.
"It's good to be able to help."
"Really... I thought you were a relatively introverted and indifferent person at first, but I didn't expect you to be quite enthusiastic."
"It depends."
Ellie didn't speak any more, and Hermione just smiled and calmed down and took out a book from her schoolbag.
"Then before I get to Hogwarts, I'll review it again. I don't know which courtyard they will put me in... I think Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are good, and Gryffindor is also good." Okay, but Slytherin doesn't have a very good reputation..."
Not long after, with the sound of the siren, the train came to the terminal, and Hermione only looked up from the book at this moment.
"Okay, it's time for us to get out of the car... Huh?"
However, to Hermione's surprise, there was no one in front of her at this time, and Ellie, who was still sitting there before, had disappeared completely at some point.
what happened?
Although the two sides didn't spend much time together, Hermione was actually very interested in this taciturn girl, so after getting off the train, she searched around and asked several students, but no one knew about the strange girl. Where did the girl go—most people hadn't even seen the girl with the white hair and red eyes that Hermione was talking about.
Hermione didn't find Ellie until she boarded the boat to Hogwarts, which made her somewhat depressed.
"No, don't worry so much."
Looking at Hermione's appearance, Neville stammered and comforted her——Hermione asked him about it before, but Neville naturally didn't see Ellie's whereabouts.
"I think the kid will be all right, she, and she helped me find the toad, she'll be all right."
"Well, thank you... I think so too."
Hearing Neville's clumsy comfort, Hermione also looked away from looking at the other boats, and nodded to Neville with a smile.
Meanwhile, Hogwarts was just around the corner.
After walking ashore, the freshmen were soon led by Hagrid to the gate of the castle, where they met Professor McGonagall with a serious expression. And Professor McGonagall said a few words to the freshmen, and then signaled them to prepare to enter the hall. Seeing this scene, Hermione hurried over on her short legs——something seemed to happen behind her. A small commotion, but Hermione clearly didn't care.
"Professor McGonagall, Professor McGonagall, please wait."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Hearing Hermione's voice, Professor McGonagall turned to look at her, and Hermione took a nervous breath before speaking.
"Yes, that... It seems that there is another freshman who has not come. Her name is Ellie. She is a girl with white hair and red eyes. I was in the same compartment as her on the train, but after the train arrived at the station I I haven't seen her again... I looked carefully just now, and she doesn't seem to be among the new students..."
"Ah... You said her."
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall froze for a moment, then smiled and nodded at Hermione.
"Don't worry, the child's words have already arrived, and you can meet soon."
"……………Hey?"
