Chapter 1887: Chapter 1038: Train Paranormal_2
Once this matter was mentioned again, Ron squeezed into the compartment, continuously pressing his hands together and apologizing to Harry and Tao Yu.
“It’s okay, I’m used to it.”
Since childhood, Harry was lacking friends. Although Ron compared to Tao Yu seemed like a lump, Harry didn’t mind much given his age.
Their compatibility, after all, was quite high.
Harry, as the victim, chose to forgive, and naturally, Tao Yu also didn’t mind. Instead, he opened a book called “Standard Spells, Level Six” and read with interest.
During this period, Tao Yu had already flipped through all the books in Li Hen, but relying on his own ’knowledge’ authority, each time he read, he could re-interpret more insights.
“Standard Spells” is divided into levels one to seven, with each grade having a corresponding book. If you don’t look closely, you might not even distinguish them, hence no one pays much attention.
Upon hearing Hermione say she also comes from the Muggle World, Harry was very happy and then said:
“That’s such a coincidence, I also lived in the Muggle World since young. If not for receiving the letter, I wouldn’t have known, and Tao Yu too.”
Harry’s words surprised Hermione a bit. Although she was glad to meet three companions from the Muggle World, she hadn’t expected that Tao Yu, who had just used the Flying Spell, was one of them!
“Oh my! You’re a freshman from the Muggle World? Just starting to touch the Wizarding World? Can use the Flying Spell after just one summer? That’s like a higher-grade spell!”
Hermione’s expression of surprise made Harry show a proud look.
“Indeed, Tao Yu was praised by Mr. Olivander as a natural wizard, having already mastered many spells. We worked in the Li Hen Bookstore over the summer and borrowed quite a few books from there.”
Harry introduced like he was listing treasures, with a face full of pride and honor.
“Cool! Mastering spells even before starting school is really amazing, not at all like a little wizard coming from the Muggle World.”
Ron was also endlessly talking on the side, much like most little wizards with limited insight, not knowing the true significance of Tao Yu’s performance, just aware it’s impressive.
“Oh my, how could I have not thought of this, I missed so much.”
Hermione also scratched her head in annoyance, but knowing she hadn’t fully absorbed all first-year textbooks over the summer, especially not mastered magic practice, working in Li Hen Bookstore didn’t seem much helpful.
At this moment, she keenly noticed an issue, staring at the book cover in front of Tao Yu for quite a while.
“Are you reading ’Standard Spells, Level Six’? Isn’t that supposed to be a sixth-grade book?”
For a moment, Hermione felt as if the sky was falling. Are the requirements for Muggle students in the Wizarding World so high?
Like the admissions to those top universities with recommendations?
How will I keep up!?
Oh no, I’m going to be at the bottom…
…
Although the train journey seemed dull, several peers still had plenty of topics to talk about. With three people coming from the Muggle World and Ron being a chatterbox, he couldn’t stop talking about some interesting events in the Wizarding World.
After Harry bought a large pile of snacks, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Ron also showed his pet Scabbers, a rat with thinning fur and missing a finger.
The appearance of Scabbers greatly reduced Hermione’s appetite, but she knew that he might be a pet of the little wizards, similar to Neville’s toad.
“This was my brother Percy’s pet, it’s been in my family for a long time, very well-behaved.”
Ron introduced Scabbers proudly, while Tao Yu, showing interest, glanced at it, and upon being stared at, Scabbers squeaked while diving into Ron’s arms, seemingly frightened.
This was the Animagus form of Little Dwarfs, who after betraying Harry’s parents, was chased by Little Sirius, faked his death, and has been hiding as the Weasley family pet.
This timid nature and endurance actually count as quite strong.
Ron didn’t know the fearsome talent of Tao Yu, but Little Aixing, as a mature wizard, distinctly knew the difference between this student and others. That significant glance nearly made him think he was about to be exposed.
“A very special rat; it’s not quite like typical rats.”
Tao Yu smiled, now wasn’t a good time to expose Little Dwarfs. Currently, Little Dwarfs was still considered a ’hero’, since all blame was on Little Sirius.
Though his hiding in the Weasley family was abnormal, it could be explained by fearing Voldemort’s remnants’ revenge.
Tao Yu thought perhaps it might be better to let Little Sirius know this fellow is alive in advance, then personally solve everything to create some legendary stories.
“Hmm, Azkaban can still read the Prophet Daily, originally Little Sirius knew through this, wait until there’s an opportunity for it to be featured there, should be about right.”
At the moment Tao Yu casually thought this, suddenly his expression stiffened, sensing something unusual.
“What is it…? This isn’t magic…”
Looking out the window, the steam train was turning, and they could just see the locomotive’s white steam. However, quickly, this white steam seemed to turn black, covering the entire train.
In an instant, the world outside the train turned completely dark!
The sudden change startled the little wizards on the train, with many freshmen letting out screams.
