Allen,Hermione and Neville

During the chat, Hermione also gradually discovered that Allen was a kindred spirit like her. Although he didn't have as many textbooks as she had memorized, she had a lot of her own opinions on magic theory and various spell knowledge.

Immediately, I became interested, and at the same time, I recognized Allen more in my heart.

As the saying goes, "It's too much if you don't speculate, but it's less than a thousand glasses of wine when you meet a bosom friend!"

Allen and Hermione talked more and more vigorously, and the more they chatted, the more engrossed they became. Before they knew it, they didn't even notice that the Hogwarts Express had started to leave the station.

"Hello, is there anyone here? The other places are full!"

At this moment, a stuttering voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the magic communication between Allen and Hermione.

In the aisle of the box, a round-faced and chubby little wizard was holding a golden-backed toad in his left hand and pulling the suitcase in his right hand, his eyes glanced at the empty seat opposite Allen and Hermione from time to time.

"No one, you can sit across from us!"

Allen replied with a smile.

The boy immediately happily pushed the suitcase to the corner of the box, and then sat down with the toad in his arms.

"I... My name is Neville Longbottom, I'm a freshman this year, you can call me Neville!"

After the boy sat down, he introduced himself nervously.

"Allen Carmen!"

"Hermione Granger!"

Allen and Hermione glanced at each other, they could see that the boy opposite was a little nervous, so they smiled and introduced themselves at the same time.

Perhaps feeling the kindness in Allen and Hermione's tone, the boy gradually relaxed and joined Allen and Hermione's chat.

However, since Neville hadn't previewed the textbook yet, the three of them stopped talking about magic at this time but talked about their respective births and family situations. When talking about his family, Neville, who was a little nervous, was no longer so restrained.

"I was brought up by my grandmother, but all these years, our family has treated me like a Muggle, and my Uncle Algie always tried to force me to show my magic by taking advantage of people's unsuspecting."

Then, Neville talked about his tragic experience of being thrown into the Black Lake by his uncle Algie and almost drowning, and thrown from upstairs and almost falling to death.

I heard Allen and Hermione say that the elders of the pure-blood wizard family know how to play.

In fact, according to Allen's knowledge, Neville's parents seem to be both Aurors. During the First Wizarding War, they were captured by Death Eaters and tortured to the point of insanity with the Cruciatus Curse. They were admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.

To make Neville, who was only one year old, forget the cruel scene of his parents being tortured, his grandma cast a "Forgetting Curse" on him. It may be because Neville was too young at that time, which caused side effects after being cast on the Forgetting Curse. My mind is broken, and I become very forgetful. In other words, can a one-year-old remember things?

Allen has also heard people say that Neville is the prophesied son in Professor Trelawney's prophecy, because Neville's parents are both Aurors (policemen in the wizarding world), who have attacked Voldemort at least three times, and Neville was also born in July. moon.

Even when it was just born, it was able to magically make the blanket wrap itself more tightly.

If it wasn't for the damage to the mind caused by the sequelae of the "Forgetting Curse", and the inability to smoothly control the magic power in the body, Neville's magic talent might not be worse than Voldemort's.

However, these are not important things to Allen, he doesn't care who is the son of prophecy. How to seek benefits and strengthen his strength through the general plot trend he knows is what he has to consider.

After Neville finished talking, Hermione also began to chat about various anecdotes about her childhood life before receiving the admission letter, and the changes after receiving the admission letter.

Unlike Neville, who came from a family of pure-blood wizards, Hermione lived in the suburbs of London, her parents were both dentists, and she was a pair of ordinary Muggles who didn't understand magic. Perhaps it was because she was not born into a wizarding family that Hermione always wanted to prove herself so much.

But the income of the dentist is considerable, and her family also belongs to that kind of happy and harmonious type, so her childhood was very happy.

After both of them finished speaking, they turned their eyes to Allen at the same time.

Allen froze for a moment, then immediately reacted and said:

"I am an orphan. I was abandoned in an orphanage when I was a child. I don't know whether my parents are wizards or Muggles. I only know the existence of magic when I received the admission letter from Hogwarts!"

"orphan!"

Neville and Hermione looked at Allen with sympathy gradually.

Although Neville's parents are both in the hospital, he still has his grandmother, uncle, and aunt who love him, and he hasn't suffered much since he was a child.

Although Hermione was born into a Muggle family, she was also an only child. She was the jewel in the palm of her family since she was a child, and her childhood life was not unhappy.

In contrast, Allen's status in this world is indeed a bit miserable.

"I didn't expect Allen's life experience to be so miserable, but he can still face life with a smile, and he is so optimistic. He is really brave and strong!"

Hermione saw that when Allen told about his life experience, he didn't have that kind of sad and uncomfortable expression at all, instead, he showed open-mindedness and sunshine everywhere, and she felt both sympathy and admiration in his heart.

"Honey, do you want to buy something to eat?"

At this moment, there was a loud clicking noise in the aisle, followed by a smiling woman with dimples, pushing open the door of their box.

It turned out that the three of them were chatting vigorously, and before they knew it, it was past noon. Looking at the various snacks on the trolley, the three of them suddenly felt their stomachs growling.

"I want a chocolate frog!"

Neville got up first and ran towards the cart. Hermione and Allen also got up at the same time and started picking on the trolley right after.

In the end, Neville returned to his seat with a bunch of Chocolate Frogs, Hermione just took a cauldron cake, and Allen asked for three pumpkin pies and a box of Bertie botts every flavour bean.

Hogwarts gave Allen a hundred gold Galleons a year as a bursary. After buying all the necessities, there were four or five gold Galleons left, which was enough for his daily expenses for a year.

You know, the board and lodging at Hogwarts are free, and these magical snacks are not expensive.

For three pieces of pumpkin pie and a box of Bertie botts every flavour bean, Allen only spent one silver Sickle and fifteen copper Knuts. The three pieces of pumpkin pie were used by himself to satisfy his hunger.

As for the box of Bertie botts every flavour beans, he plans to keep it and give it to his sister Aisha when he returns.

Bertie botts every flavour beans, the famous product of the world's jelly bean company, are said to have more than 700 different flavours.

From the common flavours of chocolate, strawberry thin, mint candy, orange marmalade, etc. to the special flavours of spinach, pork liver and tripe, as well as the heavy flavours of vomiting, earwax, and snot.

Presumably, my sister must like this magical snack very much!
