Chapter 222 Train
Chapter 222 Train
"The wind blowing from the European continent today seems a little restless."
In a looming hut in the unknown sea area of France, a well-dressed old man with white hair and childlike face slowly stood up.
He seemed to sense that something was about to happen.
But the specifics are difficult to determine, and his intuition tells him that it seems to be somewhat related to his old buddy.
"Calculating the time, my not-so-bright student should be coming back."
Nicole May pondered for a while, and decided to go to London to pick up Brian himself.
For this master alchemist, it seemed that he had made an extremely cheap mistake. He seemed to have forgotten to tell Brian the location of the hut before he left.
Although Brian was able to find out the exact location, old Nicolas May was still a little worried, and he was not willing to let Brian waste a few days on the road.
[There can't be any more mistakes, finally there is an apprentice who barely passes the eye. 】
Nicole May thought inwardly, humming a little tune, picked up a comb and scraped lightly on the top of her head a few times, informed Perenelle, nodded in satisfaction, and disappeared into the hut.
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hut and knocked on the door regularly. Brian's eyes suddenly met the surprised house elf Lear and Perenelle who poked his head out on the second floor.
"Why so fast?"
Perenelle raised his eyebrows lightly, feeling a little surprised, and glanced at Brian again, but he couldn't see Nicolas May, and said in surprise
"Why did the old man pick up someone and lose himself?"
Brian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and hesitated, "Grandma Perenelle, I came here by myself."
"Come here by yourself? Didn't that old Nicole May bring you here?"
Brian hurriedly said:
"I don't know that the teacher will look for me, or should I go back?"
Perenelle shook his head slightly and said, "Don't bother."
She took out a conch-shaped object from her bosom with her left hand. After lightly injecting magic power into her right hand, she whispered a few words, and within 3 minutes, Nicolas Flamel's figure returned to the hut.
Just as Brian was about to step forward to salute, he found Nicolas Lemay looking at him with a strange look.
Brian asked, "Teacher, is there something on my face?"
Nicole May shook her head and said, "No, little pervert."

"I need to speak to you in private!"
Harry muttered to Ron and Hermione, who had just stepped onto the train.
"Go away, Ginny," said Ron immediately.
"It's okay Ron, Ginny is your sister and not an outsider." Harry said while placing the cage containing Hedwig and Crookshanks on the special pet luggage rack.
"Thank you, Harry, but I'm just on my way to find Luna." Ginny glared at Ron and thanked Harry.
After Ginny walked away, Harry, Ron and Hermione walked along the corridor helplessly, looking for empty carriages, but all the carriages were full except the last one.
There was a middle-aged wizard in this carriage who was leaning against the window in advance and was falling asleep. Although he was a bit reluctant, there was no better choice at the moment and he had to gently put down his salute and sit down.
"What's the matter with Brian, he didn't even catch this train." Hermione sat opposite Harry and said a little dissatisfied.
"Didn't I tell you that when he saw me a few days ago, he said that there were still some things at home." Harry leaned his neck forward desperately for fear of waking Professor Lupine next to him and said softly.
The three had already seen his name on the box that Lupine was carrying, and deduced that he was the next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
"Compared to Brian, I have worse things to tell you." Harry was depressed, and told Ron about the argument between the Weasleys and the Weasleys before boarding the train and Arthur Weasley's warning to him. Hermione.
"Oh my God, it turns out that Sirius escaped to hunt you down? Harry, Brian isn't here, so you must be careful." Hermione covered her mouth with her hand and said in a little panic.
"Someone can really escape from Azkaban?" Ron was struck by lightning, "I didn't read the newspaper, and my parents never reminded me at home, it's over, this is really over, he Still a top priority."
"Hogwarts should be safe. Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world." Harry shook his head and said angrily, "The problem is, I want to know why Sirius Black wanted to kill me. I've never heard the name, and I don't know him."
"I'm worried because of that person." Hermione hesitated and said, "But you don't have to worry, the Ministry of Magic will definitely solve this trouble. They have already asked Muggles to look for him."
"Ask Brian when you get to school." Ron thought for a while and said, the lump in his pocket suddenly moved, and he quickly and carefully took it out and put it on the table, holding some biscuits in front of him.
"Ron, didn't you use the gift that Brian gave you?" Harry asked a little strangely.
"Of course, Scabbers is very good, he never runs around." Ron glanced at Hermione, dissatisfied: "As long as she can take care of that cat, I don't need to lock Scabbers, let alone hinder the freedom of any creature." It's all wrong."
"I hope so..."
"Ron, those things wouldn't have happened if you had used the cage that Brian gave you," said Hermione angrily.
Ron was about to refute, but he saw Professor Lupine move. He was afraid that he would wake up the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester, but he just turned his head in another direction, opened his mouth slightly, and went back to sleep up.
Just as they were slightly relieved, Ron hurriedly put Scabbers back into his pocket, and got closer to Harry and Hermione.
When the food truck came, the big raindrops outside were blown by the strong wind, whipping the body of the Hogwarts Express like a whip, making a chaotic sound, covering up all other sounds.The outline of the continuous hills outside the window blurred, and occasionally a sharp lightning tore through the dark night sky until the window showed a thick sticky gray, which gradually deepened, and the lights in the corridor and on the luggage rack were turned on.
Scabbers, the mouse in Ron's pocket, swished out and slipped outside through the gap under the door.
"Spotted!"
Ron yelled, Harry was the closest to the door and immediately stood up to look at the situation in the corridor, Ron stood up and was about to go outside to find Scabbers.
The train suddenly jolted and stopped, and all the lights on the car suddenly went out.
