Hogwarts: Who hasn't collected a Horcrux?

Chapter 11



The appearance of the Weasley family easily attracted the attention of William and Harry.

Four red-haired boys, each pushing a large suitcase and carrying an owl, looked exactly like Harry.

They were obviously little wizards going to Hogwarts!

Not only that, the Muggles they mentioned in their conversation further confirmed their wizard identities.

However, William and Harry were just curious and did not rush to talk to them.

"Let's go, Harry."

William carried his suitcase and walked straight to the wall between platforms nine and ten.

"Okay." Harry hurriedly pushed the suitcase to catch up with William.

But soon Harry found that there was no road in front of William, and he would hit the wall if he went forward.

But William's footsteps did not stop, as if he did not see the wall in front of him.

Seeing that William was about to hit the wall, Harry hurriedly opened his mouth to remind him:"William……"

But before he could finish his words, William in front of him disappeared into the wall.

That's right! Harry was sure he was not mistaken! He disappeared into the wall!

Harry couldn't believe it, William just felt that he had pierced through an invisible membrane, and then appeared in a wrought iron archway.

After walking out of the archway, William saw a platform full of passengers, and a crimson steam locomotive was parked beside it.

The sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock.

William turned around, but found that Harry didn't follow him in. Instead, he saw the words"Platform 9 and 3/4" written above the archway.

In fact, students at Hogwarts didn't take the train to school in the past, of course, people hadn't invented trains at that time.

They used to get to school in any way they found interesting.

Some students chose to ride brooms, and some used magic carts, which later evolved into carriages.

Some people tried to Apparate, but usually ended up miserably, because the castle and the campus were protected by anti-Apparition spells.

Others choose to ride on various magical creatures, and there are descendants of those magical creatures in the school's forbidden forest.

Although these different magical transportation methods have caused many accidents and even casualties, it is still the responsibility of parents to take their children to school. It was not until the implementation of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692 that it was forced to stop. At that time, how students could secretly go to Hogwarts became the top priority for the Ministry of Magic to solve.

As a result, portkeys became their way of travel, and a large number of portkeys were deployed all over the UK.

However, every year, one-third of students still cannot arrive at school. Some missed the time when the portkeys took effect, and some people even couldn't find the portkeys, after all, the portkeys were too inconspicuous.

Even more unfortunately, many students are"portkey-sick", so in the first few days of school every year, the hospital wards are often full, and they are full of students who are trying to overcome excitement and nausea and vomiting constantly.

Of course, there is a more reliable way to go to school, that is, Floo powder, but all the successive headmasters of Hogwarts refused to open it because they did not want the school's protection measures to be threatened.

In order to solve this thorny problem, the then Minister of Magic, Ottoline Gomb, finally proposed a very bold and controversial solution.

She was very interested in Muggle inventions and saw the potential of trains.

In the end, the Hogwarts Express appeared, which was the largest operation of the Ministry of Magic to date.

It involved 167 forgetfulness spells and the largest record of hidden spells in British history.

On the morning after these records, a gleaming scarlet steam locomotive and carriages shocked the residents of Hogsmeade, who didn't even know there was a train station in the village.

In Crewe, there were several confused Muggle railway workers who always felt as if they had forgotten something important, and the uncomfortable feeling kept haunting them until the end of the year.

Therefore, the Hogwarts Express may be the result of the Ministry of Magic's free Muggle.

Of course, these materials must be kept as top secret in the Ministry of Magic, and ordinary people would not know the inside story at all.

William can know this because he has the memory of his previous life.

Just when William's thoughts were flying, Harry suddenly rushed in with his eyes closed. If William hadn't dodged quickly, he would have almost bumped into him.

Harry opened his eyes and saw William staring at him with unfriendly eyes. He immediately asked in confusion,"William, what's wrong with you?"

William was a little helpless when he heard this. How could this kid be so blind? But forget it.

"It's okay, just get in the car and find a seat first."

""Oh, there are so many people here!" Harry followed William and walked towards the back of the train.

The front carriage was already packed with students. Some of them leaned out of the windows to talk to their families, and some were playing in their seats.

As William and Harry passed by, they heard a round-faced boy say,"Grandma, I lost my toad again!""

""Oh, Neville." The old lady next to him sighed.

Hearing this conversation, William couldn't help but take a closer look at the boy. Is this the future Gryffindor Sword Master? He looked stupid.

Passing Neville and his grandmother, the two continued to walk to the back and finally found an empty compartment at the end of the train.

William walked in first and put his suitcase on the luggage rack. Then he saw Harry dragging his suitcase towards the door. He wanted to lift the suitcase, but his skinny arms and legs couldn't lift it at all.

"Do you need help?" William asked.

"William, please give me a hand, it's too heavy. Harry nodded.

William stood up and walked over, and easily lifted Harry's suitcase with one hand. The heavy suitcase for Harry seemed nothing in William's hand.

When William put Harry's suitcase away, he turned around and saw Harry looking stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Harry, come in and sit down, what are you doing standing outside?"

Hearing William's words, Harry hurried into the box and exclaimed,"William, you are so strong!"

"It's nothing, I'm naturally strong."William laughed casually.

Not long after the two sat down, a whistle sounded and the train started.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the sliding door of the compartment opened, and a red-haired child walked in.

""Is anyone here?" he asked, pointing to the empty seat next to Harry."Everywhere else is full."
