The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts Chapter 11

The train was swaying, and outside the window was no longer the city scene of London, but a field and meadow.

At about twelve o'clock, accompanied by a loud noise, a smiling old woman pushed open the door of their cubicle and asked, "Honey, do you want to buy something to eat?"

Breakfast seemed to be a long time ago. Tom bounced up and quickly came into the aisle.

"Mom's ready for lunch—" Hermione's words failed to catch up with Tom's speed.

Tom bought from the old woman two packs of bibimbap, some chocolate frogs, pumpkin tarts, pan cakes, and other miscellaneous food, all for less than three silver siko.

Tom carried the purchased food into the compartment and collapsed into an empty seat, Hermione watching him from the side.

"You are hungry?"

"Yeah." Tom found a pumpkin pie and took a big bite.

"I still have bentos here." Hermione took out two more crisper boxes and a thermos cup from her backpack, which was filled with ham and egg sandwiches and salads, and the thermos cup was hot black tea.

Tom also handed over the snacks he bought to Hermione, and the two of them munched together.

Hermione picked up a chocolate frog.

"What's this? Is it chocolate in the shape of a frog?" She opened a box, and inside was a lifelike chocolate frog, and as soon as the box was opened, it twisted and kicked its legs under Hermione's dumbfounded eyes. , suddenly jumped to her face, making her cry out in fright. But Tom was quick-witted, grabbed the dishonest chocolate frog with a snap, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"The taste is okay. The taste of milk chocolate is just average, and it moves in the mouth." Tom made a positive evaluation of this chocolate frog.

Hermione also regained her composure, and when she heard Tom's words, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she studied the picture in the box as if she didn't hear it. The picture shows Dumbledore's face and his achievements are written below it.

"He's really amazing." Hermione exclaimed from the bottom of her heart after reading Dumbledore's life achievements.

"Mmmm," Tom nodded in a perfunctory manner, then opened a bag of Bibiduo flavored beans, "Beans of various flavors, would you like some?"

This magical bean made them enjoy a good time, with chocolate, mint, marmalade, toast, coconut, pepper, strawberry, curry, grass, sardines and other strange flavors, and they felt that every bean tasted like a A whole new experience.

The sliding door of the compartment was pulled open again. This time it was a round-faced boy with red and swollen eyes.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I want to ask, have you seen my toad?"

Tom and Hermione both shook their heads, and his tears fell.

"I lost it again! It always wants to run away from me!"

"It will come back." Tom comforted him painlessly.

"Yes, then, if you see..."

"Let's go find it for you." Facing the stranger, Hermione returned to her slightly arrogant look, but her words were very heartwarming, at least the round-faced boy seemed moved.

"What did that toad look like? When was the last time you saw it? By the way, my name is Hermione Granger, and this is Tom Yodell. What's your name?" It seemed to throw up a slew of questions.

The round-faced boy looked a little confused, but in the end he just stammered and told them that his name was Neville Longbottom.

"Okay, Neville, let's go find your toad for you." Hermione was so excited, she pulled Tom up too.

"In this way, we'll find each other separately," Hermione quickly made up her mind. "I've read in books that toads generally like to live in damp and dark places. We should also pay attention to such places on the road."

"Neville, there is actually another way, but you need to pay some money." Tom said suddenly, attracting the attention of the two, "We can go to the grandma who was pushing the dining cart just now, and ask her to inform the other boxes. Little wizard, anyone who finds your toad can exchange three Siko's snacks from her, and if you don't want snacks, you can come to our box, and I can tell them a hidden location in Hogwarts."

"Great!" Neville immediately accepted the proposal and trotted all the way to find the old grandmother.

"What hiding place?" Hermione's eyes were full of curiosity.

"I happen to know where the school's kitchen is." Tom raised his eyebrows and blinked. "The little wizard who gets the news will have a good time."

"Then are we going to help Neville find the toad?" Hermione asked.

"If you want to be active, of course it's fine."

So the two of them walked together, and followed the box to ask questions one by one.

"Daisies, sweet cream, and sunshine, turn this stupid fat mouse yellow!" When Tom opened the door of a box, the red-haired boy was casting a spell on a gray fat mouse with his wand. .

But nothing happened, the mouse was still gray, and twitched in his sleep.

Hermione, who was watching the whole process from the sidelines, had a look of "what are you doing?".

"Are you sure that's really a spell?" she asked. "It doesn't look like much, does it?"

Speaking of which, the corners of her mouth curled up: "I also tried a few simple spells at home, but they were all very useful."

She walked to the opposite side of the black-haired boy in the box, took out her wand and pointed at his glasses: "For example, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com OculusReparo"

The next moment, the dust on the boy's glasses disappeared.

"It's much better, isn't it?"

The two in the box both showed surprised expressions.

"No one in my family understands magic, so when I got my admissions letter, I was flabbergasted, but also very happy, because, I mean, Hogwarts is the best wizarding school, and I was ahead of schedule. Read all the textbooks—oh, yes, my name is Hermione Granger, and he's Tom Yodell, what's your name? By the way, have you seen Neville's toad?"

After Hermione showed off the spell she had learned a little, she remembered what she was going to do, and hurriedly asked the two of them.

"My name is Ron Weasley, and we haven't seen any toads..." the red-haired boy muttered.

"Harry Potter," said the boy with glasses.

Hermione's eyes lit up: "Is it really you? God, I know all about you—I bought a few extra books, Modern History of Magic, The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic, Twentieth Century Important Magical Events", you are mentioned in these books."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Ron made a face.

"Okay, let's go to Neville's toad for credit first." Hermione chatted with them for a while, and found that everyone was not speculating, so she left with Tom.

Oh, by the way, you have a piece of dirt on your nose, do you know that?" She said another word to Ron when she went out, and at the same time pointed to the tip of her nose, Ron glared at her angrily.

"Bless Merlin, she can't be in the same academy with us!" Ron complained to Harry after the two left.
