Chapter - 13 Cho Chang

In the morning, William's head was still dazed, and he kept thinking about the extremely cute three-headed dog in his dream.

Boba, who always slept on his chest, has disappeared before William woke up. He might have gone to say goodbye to Dragon.

He got up and put on his clothes. After his morning routine, he shrank the packed luggage with the shrinking spell he learnt from the miscellaneous spells book and put it in his pocket.

He looked at the train ticket 🎫.

Platform № - 9 ¾.

Was the platform he was supposed to wait for the train. Although it would look ridiculous to any muggle who didn't knew about the wizarding world, he had already inquired about the exact location with Cedric.

His sister Annie was very reluctant and looked gloomy. Because she also wanted to go to Hogwarts with her brother.

He promised to write to her every week about the things he did and saw in there, and that made the little girl had a smile on her face.

They arrived King's Cross at 9'O clock.

As it was quite early not many people could be seen on the station. After William said goodbye to his family, he carried the cage where the boba was standing and walked towards the wall between the ninth and the tenth platform of the train station.

When he arrived at the place, He saw a group of people dressed in extremely non-mainstream clothes of coats and robes.

Passing through the wall.

But unfortunately, it was also seen by a muggle.

As the Muggle came over towards the wall he accelerated suddenly from a distance.

He ran at a speed not expected form a person of his weight and size.

William felt like the person was flying instead of running and the next instead of passing through the wall the muggle's head was slammed against the wall.

William: "…"

This suicidal behavior had undoubtedly attracted the attention of other Muggles, and two guards quickly ran over toward the man.

It was the first time even for th to see someone bashing his head on the wall of the platform.

At this moment, two people appeared out of thin air on the platform. They were wearing plain black clothes, holding wands in their hands, casted magic on the people around them.

And at last they casted magic on the guy who crashed on the wall, erasing the memory of his for the past ten minutes.

After all this was done, one of the black robes signaled towards William that he could go through.

William thanked them, carried the cage through the wall and arrived at the platform of the Hogwarts express.

"William's mouth fell open.

The Hogwarts Express was a train that ran between King's Cross Station in London and Hogsmeade Station,

which was very near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There were carriages with doors that were magically sealed, so that they could only be opened by witches and wizards.

Inside, the train looked like any other ordinary train, but it was far from ordinary for those who knew its secret purpose.

Its scarlet exterior with gold lettering, the puffing smokestack, and the cheerful chug-chug sound it emitted all added to the sense of enchantment and excitement for those embarking on the journey into the wizarding world."

The thick smoke of the locomotive wafted in the sky above the chattering crowd.

The first few carriages were already crowded with students. Some of them leaned out of the car windows to talk to their families, while others were scrambling for their seats.

William carried the cage and found a carriage near the rear end of the train.

There was a girl already sitting in that cabin carriage, a Chinese girl with two ponytails holding a book with a title "The Magic of Quidditch" in her hand.

It was rare sight. Meeting a Chinese girl in the UK.

And especially on the train to Hogwarts, like what are the chances.

William remembered that Ollivander had mentioned the Makohoto School of Magic, and he checked it out when he went back in his books. It was the top magic school known in Asia.

William walked in and asked politely, "will there anyone else coming in."

The girl shook her head.

William thanked her, and sat down, and released Boba from the cage.

Boba walked out slowly, yawning he laid down beside the glass window of the train.

William looked past Boba through the windows and saw the Weasleys.

Mrs Weasley was reaching out to lift a boy's bangs.

Most likely Mrs. Weasley's youngest son, named Ron. William had heard about him from George and Fred, he won't be in school until next year.

"Ron, I didn't expect your hair to be so long." ?

Ron was about to dodge, but was grabbed by Mrs Weasley.

"Don't worry, I'll cut your hair after we arrive home later."

"I don't want to cut them." Ron struggled but in vain.

"I suggest making him bald, will save you extra time mother." said one of the twin.

"Leave my hair alone, and why are you not saying anything to both of them." Ron said loudly on the verge of yelling.

"We're going to school. Mom can't control us." Fred laughed, " if you want to be out of her control wait for next year."

"Who said I can't cut your hair just because you are in school."

Mrs. Weasley kissed the twins on the cheek and warned, "You two behave yourself this year.

If Percy sends me an owl and told me anything about your night adventures or planting a dung bomb on the Slytherin table..."

"Planting dung bombs On the Slytherin table." Fred looked at her mother in shock.

George laughed and said, "I have to say Mother you are bloody genius."

"Thank you for your advice, Mother, we will use it wisely."

Mrs Weasley was speechless.

With the final whistle of Hogwarts express, the Weasley brothers walked towards the train.

William waved his hand, and Fred yelled, "Hey, William, we found you."

William nodded and waved to Mrs Weasley again.

Mrs. Weasley said loudly, "Watch them for me darling,and write to me if they ever pester or prank you."

The train started, with a loud and shrill whistle.

The girl the Chinese girl with william spoked

"Hello, my name is Cho Chang, I'm a first year and belong to a Muggle family, what about you?"

"Nice to meet you, my name is William Stark, and I as well come from a Muggle family. You can just call me William."

Both of them shook hands.

Afterwards cho chang again started reading her book.

William also took out a book on "Standard Spells, year 2".

The journey was a long one, and the repitive scenery become's boring even when the destination was Hogwarts.

Cho raised her eyebrows. When she glanced at William's book and asked, "Are you a second-year student?"

William shook his head and said, "Like you, I'm a first year as well."

Cho said "oh" and stopped talking.

She obviously thought William was showing off to impress her. After all, there is no way a muggle wizard will understand the second-grade spell textbook.

"meoooooow"

I don't know when, Boba had left his comfortable spot front of the window and stood on the table with its tail hanging down and eyes staring at the rabbit in the cage, as if looking at his lunch.

There was a white rabbit in the cage, which was Cho's pet.

Boba showed his claws and a toothy smile, and the rabbit, was frightened out of its mind started jumping in the cage making fall on the floor.

The rabbit's head hit the water bowl in the cage, and the Carrot hit him on his eyes giving it a black eye, the rabbit couldn't take everything that happened to him and fained.

Cho quickly took out a hamburger from her bag. This must have been the girl's lunch probably.

She grabbed a small piece the meat Patty and shook it in front of boba, trying to attract Boba away, from her rabbit, fearing it might kill it.

But Boba just glanced at the Patty, and gave a "meow" in disgust, then walked slowly to his window spot, and started licking his fur clean.

Cho's face flushed red.

William apologetically,"Boba is a bit of a picky eater."

"Indeed! I suggest you starve it for a few days."

Before cho's words were finished, the cabin's door was opened.

Cedric walked in.

"William, the twins told me that you are here alone.

Let's go, in the second year carriage over there, I've saved a seat for you."

He grabbed William's hand, and before he was finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Cho who was shaking the rabbit to wake the poor fur ball up.

Face flushed, Cedric stammered and asked, "Who is she."

"Cho chang, a first year I just met." William quickly explained, "By the way, what were you saying I didn't quite heard you before."

Cedric coughed, "It's nothing, it's just that the second year carriage over there is too crowded and there isn't enough space. So I'm going to come over to your carriage."

"…"
