Strange was completely dumbfounded. What's going on? He was just holding onto a trolley used to take pictures on platform nine and three-quarters, and he was teleported to this place. And there was a man clapping his hands and welcoming him to Hogwarts?
Are you kidding me? Is there really a Hogwarts in this world? Strange felt as if his worldview had been severely impacted. He no longer knew if the man in front of him was really a student from Hogwarts.
If this happened in the past, Strange would definitely think that this was some kind of prank. But ever since he came into contact with magic, and especially after boarding at a certain chef's house for a period of time, many of his views had changed.
This world was far vaster than he knew. After knowing that even a salted fish in this world could become the Nine Heavens Thor, Strange felt that there was nothing in this world that he could not accept.
Could there be anything more absurd than this in the world? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! So even if a middle-aged Daniel (Harry Potter), a young woman Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), and someone else appeared in front of him, Strange would not be overly surprised.
After all, he already had a big heart and had seen everything. He had climbed thousands of mountains and swam tens of thousands of rivers. The current Strange already had a heart that could not contain the billowing waves.
The man who appeared in front of him even took out a legendary magic wand. Anyway, it was something that was similar to the magic wand in the movies. Then, he muttered, "Show yourself quickly."
After chanting the incantation, a train suddenly appeared on the empty railway track beside them. Looking through the window, he could see that the train was bustling with noise. Countless students in magic robes were running around in the carriage.
Everything seemed to be just as the man had said. All the students had boarded the bus except for him.
"You're late, Mr. Strange. In fact, we should have delivered the letter to your window more than 20 years ago, "said the gentle man.
"But unfortunately, our owl had a stomachache, so it couldn't deliver the letter as it was supposed to. Then came the bird flu, and the Muggles began to hunt and drive away the birds that appeared in the city. "The man shrugged.
"Then something bad happened. Voldemort appeared. You've seen Harry Potter, right? Actually, the story in the book is real. We had someone hypnotize JK Rowling and had her write down the story. "
Strange narrowed his eyes. "Wait, you're saying that Harry Potter's story is true? Why did you guys hypnotize JK Rowling and make her write down this story? "
"To keep the children's fantasy alive. You know what? Kids nowadays were becoming more and more realistic. They don't believe in Santa Claus anymore. They know that the toys in the socks were bought for them by their parents. None of this has anything to do with Santa Claus, "the gentle middle-aged man said helplessly.
"You know what? If children lose the ability to imagine, then they will never be able to learn magic. The magic of Hogwarts requires imagination to learn. A group of realistic egoists will never learn good magic. "The middle-aged man's words seemed to be a metaphor.
"Children don't believe in Santa Claus, but they never know what Santa Claus has done for the world. When Santa Claus said 'There is no more Santa Claus in this world', you have no idea what he went through. It was a painful choice. "
Strange was surprised to hear this. "Wait, what did you say? You mean there is a Santa Claus in this world? "
"Yes, at least he used to exist. I don't know how to describe his class. I don't know if he should be classified as a wizard or a god. But none of this matters. It's already history. Santa Claus has disappeared, but at least he once existed. "The middle-aged man spoke of a secret that Strange didn't know.
"In order to preserve children's imagination and innocence, we had JK Rowling write 'Harry Potter' based on real events, and did everything possible to make it the world's best-selling children's fantasy literature."
"So most of the stories you've read in movies or books exist, and some of them have been adapted. At that time, Voldemort appeared and disrupted social order. We were forced to fight him. And it just so happened that it was the years you were supposed to enter the school. Everything was forced to stop. By the time we defeated Voldemort, you had also missed the entrance ceremony. "
"But the heavens are looking out for you. Now you've appeared again, and you happened to be at the nine and three-quarters platform. I couldn't wait to pull you in. You don't have to worry about the Muggles outside. They won't find out. After all, Muggles don't look, and they don't listen. "
Strange inexplicably felt that the man's line was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it from.
The children on the train were still chasing each other. Train 5927 sounded its whistle, and the engine roared.
"Please, it's time to board, Mr. Strange. It's not too late for you to enter the school now. Although you're a little old, I believe that your intelligence is still useful, isn't it? "The middle-aged man patted Strange's shoulder.
Strange felt that his memory was a little blurred. Everything seemed to be an illusion, and he felt that he had forgotten something important. But he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.
He was about to follow the middle-aged man to board the train to Hogwarts.
And at that moment, Strange glanced at the badge on the man's chest. There was a name written on it: Percy Weasley.
The moment he saw the name, Strange stopped. He came back to his senses and said to the man named Percy, "Wait! I don't think this is a train to Hogwarts! And you're not a Hogwarts student. "
The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Because Percy Weasley is a man with a strong desire for power. He wouldn't honestly teach in a school like Hogwarts. And you cast a spell on me, didn't you? You secretly cast a spell to make me lose my memory. I almost forgot, I'm a teacher. My teacher's name is: Ancient One! "When Strange said the two words Ancient One, the whole world went silent.
The man disappeared, and so did the train. Platform 9 and three-quarters was quiet again.
