The carriage pulled by Hermione slowly moved along the road towards them. Hermione anxiously looked back in the direction of the castle. This was most likely the last carriage, and Allen still hadn't come out. Just as she was looking around, Neville Longmont, who was in the carriage that had just left, suddenly popped his head out. Longbottom suddenly looked out and widened his eyes in surprise. Then, he quickly rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Oh, I really didn't see wrongly just now. Ellen, he, he doesn't want to take Helena away, does he?"
Luna's absent-minded eyes followed Hermione's direction, and a smile appeared on her face. Allen's pace was hurried, and Helena floated behind him. Although she was expressionless, her raised head and the way she held her skirt with both hands showed that she was in high spirits.
On the way to the Hogwarts Express, the weather was completely different from the heavy rain from a few days ago. The sky was cloudless, and under the blue sky, the dark red steam locomotive was spewing out thick smoke. Looking through the thick smoke, many Hogwarts students on the platform looked like dark ghosts. However, when they saw the real ghost Helena floating behind Allen and the others, their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
The smoke was mixed with the hooting of many owls, as well as the sound of many private discussions.
"Did you see that? That's Madam Grey. "
"Heavens, she actually left Hogwarts. Didn't she basically not even leave the castle?"
… …
Allen and the others sat down in the carriage at the end of the train. Although they could go to the prefect's private room, they obviously wanted to sit together. Hermione walked to the door of the room and gently closed it, blocking the sight of the curious young Adepts who had come to the door to investigate. She also blocked the whispers of those Adepts.
"Allen, can ghosts really take the train? Could it be that Helena is still here after the train left? Hermione looked at Helena, who was sitting next to Allen, and felt worried. However, her worries were soon dispelled. The Hogwarts Express let out a long whistle, gradually accelerated, and left the platform. Obviously, Helena was still sitting next to Allen, and Hermione was happily sitting next to Emily opposite them. Allen, who was in a good mood, began to talk about his interesting stories from the Middle Ages. The countryside outside the window became more and more green and tidy.
Helena kept looking out of the window, watching the train pass by one Muggle town after another. "No wonder I haven't noticed any students using their door keys to come to Hogwarts recently." Helena sighed.
"You're talking about 200 years ago …" Hermione was a little troubled by the ghost's concept of time. "Around 1827, the Minister of Ministry of Magic, Ottalain Gamble, Minister of Magic, made the Hogwarts Hogwarts to come to Hogwarts. The Hogwarts Express was born when Mr. Gamble, who was inspired by the Muggle technology, proposed the use of the train as a safe and comfortable means of transportation to replace the original door keys and other unregulated means of travel. "
Helena glanced at Hermione. "This is a good idea. In the past, many students couldn't get to school because they missed the door keys. There were also some who missed the orientation dinner because they fainted. "
"It's better to choose one's own way." Luna yawned sleepily. In fact, they had all woken up earlier than usual. "But having a choice of train is very suitable for today."
"I like the train too. I can eat snacks whenever I want without my mother's permission," Emily added.
Hermione felt that she should not let Emily develop the habit of eating sweets. "Whenever you want? You'll spoil your teeth if you eat too much! "
"Hermione, we need to patrol the corridor." Hearing the noise of the dining car, Alan stood up and said to Hermione after tidying up his magic robe. Then he winked at his little sister.
Although he was already a professor, Allen also had the responsibility of a prefect. During lunch, he needed to patrol the corridor to ensure the order of the whole train.
"Allen, don't worry. I'll take good care of my niece." The little girl's serious look made Allen laugh.
"Thank you, Aunt Emily." Hearing this, Helena turned her attention from the scenery outside the window back to the room. She nodded at Emily and thanked her, but her voice was a bit mechanical and distant.
Allen rubbed Emily's head and Helena's head. Then he left the carriage with Hermione.
Helena continued to look at the scenery outside the window. She hadn't been out for many years.
Emily, on the other hand, ran out and bought a bunch of snacks when Hermione was far away. When she returned, Luna had already let herself lie on the seat. Her head went through her ghost daughter's legs and lay on the cushion.
Except for the sound of Emily eating and the sound of the train moving forward, there was nothing but silence in the box.
After a while, the door of the box was knocked, followed by Emily's invitation. Draco? Malfoy appeared at the door, followed by Gregory Goff and Gregory Goff. Gregor and Vincent Goff? Crabbe, the two big guys, stood behind him, carrying a lot of snacks. Usually, the two of them were fierce towards the other students, but at this time, they seemed timid and submissive.
"Hello." Luna, who was awakened by the noise, said in a singing voice. She stretched her body, and Emily stood up obediently and took the chocolate frogs and other things in her hands.
"Uh, hello. Allen isn't here?" Malfoy's gaze swept across the box. Behind him, Goff clenched his fists dejectedly. Crabbe, on the other hand, was secretly looking at Helena by the window, but after Malfoy stepped on his foot, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look around anymore.
"Luna, we're here this time because … we have something to ask of you." In their previous interactions, Draco discovered that Luna had a special place in Allen's heart. Plus, Madam Grey was also here, which made him doubt the authenticity of the rumor. Since they were here, they couldn't just leave like this, so Draco directly stated the purpose of their visit. He pointed at Goff beside him. "Not long ago, Gregory's father … was arrested by Aura because he did something stupid. Luna, can you help us talk to Allen? Is it possible to help his father avoid prison?"
Goff's father was arrested by Aura during the previous Ministry of Magic battle. Apparently, Gregory asked Draco for help. Malfoy hoped to use the friendship between Draco and Allen to make Harris forgive his father's behavior, and use the current power of Family Harris to help his father get out of prison.
Luna's slightly protruding light silver eyes were fixed on Malfoy, but she didn't say anything. Instead, it was Emily who looked at Malfoy, tilted her head and whispered, "Don't worry, Gregory, we'll tell Allen."
Goff looked at Emily gratefully and thanked her in a rough voice. "Thank you, thank you, Emily!"
After a brief moment of shock, Draco? Malfoy stood up and thanked Emily before leaving. However, even though Emily agreed to his request, he only heaved a sigh of relief and didn't look particularly happy. Instead, he was full of worries and listless. He turned around and left with his followers.
Luna waited for the carriage door to close before turning to Emily and her daughter. "Draco is worried about his grandfather, Abraxas? Malfoy's condition. "
Helena, on the other hand, was more passionate about her mother. She thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I remember him. When he was in school, he always had a problem with a red-haired Gryffin boy who liked to play wizard chess."
"I heard about his grandfather from Pency. His grandfather had a relatively common disease among the elderly, draconella. His condition has gotten worse recently. Other students also told me that more than thirty years ago, the first Muggle in history, the head of the Ministry of Magic, Nobby Leach, had a strange illness. Ricky was forced to resign due to a mysterious illness. Draco's grandfather, Abraxas? Malfoy is believed to be involved in this shady business, but there's no evidence to prove it. As a result, he's now sick himself. " After saying what she found out, Emily handed a piece of chocolate frog to Luna and said apologetically, "There's no pudding on the train …"
