Chapter 9 King's Cross Station

Chapter 0009 King's Cross Station

After returning from Diagon Alley, Jack locked himself in the room and began to study the magic of this world.

Through experiments and research, he has a general understanding of the principles of magic in the Harry Potter world, a spell that uses magic to affect the rules. Magic is generated from the creature itself, so only wizards and magical creatures with magic power can cast spells.

Using the spells of this world requires determination, standard pronunciation and gestures. Strong will determines the purpose and effects of magic, and articulation and gestures are essential catalysts. Through these, magic can directly achieve results in a way that affects the rules.

Compared with directly using magic power to roughly affect reality, magic is similar to completing tasks directly through the console in RPG games. It is not only more effective, but also can appear similar to recovery spells, flying spells, etc., which completely violate the principles of energy conservation and entropy increase. and other basic rules of spells.

As for wands, as we all know, the magical creatures in the Harry Potter world have stronger magic than wizards. The wand is made of materials from these magical creatures and some special wood, which is a kind of magic finishing and converter. .

When the wizard knows enough about a certain magic and is skilled enough in casting, he can omit the spell and staff when casting the spell, and cast the spell silently and with his bare hands. This is called silent and wandless casting, so the speed of casting spells is faster and more preventable, but because the catalytic effect of silent recitation on spells is lower than that of spelling out spells, the processing and conversion efficiency of unarmed magic power is lower than that of using wands, so the casting effect is Much worse and much less efficient.

With Jack's talent, he quickly learned relatively simple and commonly used magics such as wand glow spell, floating spell, and recovery spell, but more could not be learned in the room. On the one hand, knowledge such as fire spells, potions, etc. requires suitable venues and materials. On the other hand, too complicated spells are not only prone to unrecoverable accidents, but also may alarm Mrs. Gary and other friends in the orphanage. them.

There was no other way, Jack had to hold back his curiosity about magic and look forward to the day when the school started.

The wait is always long, and finally, it's September 1st.

Jack arrived at King's Cross Railway Station at nine o'clock. He hoped to get into the train earlier, so that he could freely choose the box, and he didn't have to stay with people he was not interested in. At Hogwarts, apart from the protagonist group, there were only George and Brother Fred, Cedric Diggory, and pretty girls could get his attention.

At this time, there were a lot of people coming and going at the train station. Jack, who was standing between the ninth and tenth platforms, had to look around carefully, hoping to find an opportunity to enter the 9 3/4 platform when no one noticed.

Soon, several wizards in strange robes walked up to him, rammed into the wall in front of his face, and disappeared one by one.

Jack gritted his teeth, resisted the desire to complain, and followed these people to the wall of platform 9 3/4. In the blink of an eye, he felt that he had passed through a "door", and then there was a dark scene in front of him.

In front of you was an old red steam locomotive with a "Hogwarts Express" sign on it.

With Jack's talent, he could clearly feel that he was in a special space, a phase that overlapped with the space where the original King's Cross train station was.

"It's really unscientific, to be able to do this with magic." He sighed and followed the crowd onto the train.

At this point in time, there were not many people in the train's carriage, but Jack still sat in an empty compartment in the later carriage. He noticed that the older the wizard was, the more he would sit forward, and Freshmen are concentrated in the last few carriages.

After pressing the luggage, Jack opened the backpack, let out Himari, who had been holding back for a long time, and then took out a copy of "Hogwarts, A History of the School" and started reading. Perhaps young wizards of the same age would tire of such reading, but for him, it was a fairly good pastime.

Himari was meowing, rubbing against his legs and acting like a spoiled child. Jack knew that she was acting like this because she wanted to play with her master, but Jack was watching happily at the moment, so he took it out from his bag. A piece of fragrant grilled dried fish was stuffed into Himari, and then he casually patted her head, which was considered a waste of time.

Himari had no choice but to take the dried fish in his mouth and walk out of the box.

Jack was very relieved about this. After all, Himari was a cat demon. Although she was still young, her intelligence was enough to take care of herself.

After a while, she hurried back to the compartment again, and then threw herself into Jack's arms, as if someone was chasing her.

No, someone was really chasing her.

It was a girl who looked the same age as Jack, with thick brown hair and a pair of front teeth. She had already put on a Hogwarts uniform. Jack recognized her at a glance-because she was the same as when she was a child. The Emma Watson has seven similarities.

Hermione Granger, the heroine of the "Harry Potter" series, is a smart "know-it-all" lady, who has long held the first place in the grade. But the ending that J.K Rowling arranged for her is actually with Ron, which is very embarrassing.
