NOVEL WEB A certain Hogwarts magical cat
Chapter 9 The Leaky Cauldron
Chapter 9 The Leaky Cauldron
How strong Charlie's combat power is, Strong and Alice are not very clear, but from the various prey he brings back every day, it can be seen that it is definitely not weak.
The key is based on Charlie's performance over the past year. The two know that Charlie is extremely smart, with an IQ no less than that of a human being.
In fact, although Charlie is now in the body of a cat, his soul is human in essence, and many of his habits are also human habits. For example, he never sleeps on his stomach, but on his back when he sleeps.
If Alice and the others came to him for anything, he would respond immediately. Except that he couldn't speak, he basically didn't deliberately disguise himself as a cat.
As for Alice and Strong, they just felt that Charlie was a very special and smart cat, and they didn't think much about it.
In fact, this is also very normal, just like if you find that your cat is lying down and sleeping like a human, if you call it, it will respond to you, and you will just find it interesting, and you will not really think that it has become a sperm.
……
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
With a puff of smoke from the front of the train and the sound of its unique whistle, the long train slowly started to accelerate, gradually left the town of Green, and drove towards the direction of downtown London.
There are not many passengers in the carriage where Alice and Charlie are, even Alice is the only passenger in the four-seater seat where one person and one cat are located.
But even so, Alice still put the small bag containing more than 500 pounds tightly in the corner on the right, blocking it tightly with her body,
"Charlie, what do you think a magic school is like?"
Alice held Charlie in her arms, looked at the scenery flashing outside, and murmured,
Charlie looked at Alice, who was a little nervous after leaving Ms. Strong, raised his fluffy tail, and gently swept across her face to show comfort.
In Charlie's view, Ellie is just an 11-year-old child after all, leaving the familiar orphanage to go to a remote and completely unfamiliar magic school is a big deal.
It made her both excited and apprehensive. The reason why she was so confident in Ms. Strong was to keep that gentle old man from worrying.
Including going to Diagon Alley alone to buy the necessities for admission today, how could she be as brave as she just showed in her heart, but the reality made her have to be brave.
At twelve o'clock last night, when Charlie came back from practice to cover Alice and the others, he found that Alice was rarely asleep.
In fact, not to mention Alice as a little girl, even a normal adult might not be able to behave calmly in such a situation.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Alice couldn't help giggling at the itchy feeling of being swept across her chin by Charlie's furry tail, forgetting all the troubles and fears in her heart for a moment.
After an hour and a half,
The train gradually entered King's Cross Station in central London.
As for Alice, maybe because she slept too late last night, she didn't know when she fell asleep lying on the bench of the train.
"After all, I'm still a child!"
Charlie, who has been paying attention to his surroundings all the time, shook his head watching Alice in deep sleep, wrapped his tail carefully around Alice's arm, and shook gently,
Alice rubbed her eyes, and sat up in a daze. Obviously, she hadn't reacted until she heard the arrival reminder broadcast on the train carriage, and she stood up quickly in a jerk.
"Thank you Charlie, if it weren't for you, I would have passed!"
Alice quickly carried the small bag, picked up Charlie, and trotted towards the car door while thanking him.
Leaving the station, Alice found the subway station to the city center by relying on the memory of coming here with Ms. Strong.
Every 5 minutes there will be a subway bound for the center of London, and a small street not far from the subway terminal is her destination today.
On the subway, the passengers showed some surprise to Alice, who was carrying a small bag and holding a kitten and was alone, but they didn't pay too much attention.
After all, this subway occasionally encounters children holding owls, and holding a cat is nothing.
Speaking of which, although Charlie's strength and speed are comparable to ordinary people, he is only one year old, so except for his tail being longer than normal cats, his body does not look big.
So Alice hugged Charlie outside,
It's not that I'm afraid that Charlie will get lost, but mainly because I hold Charlie so that she will have a sense of security in this strange environment.
And Charlie also knew this, so he didn't try to break free from Alice's arms, although he didn't like others to hold him, because if there was danger, he couldn't react immediately.
"This is what Professor McGonagall calls the Leaky Cauldron!"
Alice hugged Charlie, looked at the dilapidated and stained small bar across the street, summoned up her courage, and walked over.
And Charlie poked out a cat's head from Alice's arms, looked around carefully,
On both sides of the small Leaky Cauldron Bar, there is a big bookstore and a record store. The business of the two stores seems to be good, but there are so many customers, but no one pays attention to the bar with a very inconsistent architectural style in the middle.
Including passers-by, when they pass by the Leaky Cauldron, they will not turn their heads and look at it, as if it does not exist in this world.
"Could this be the Muggle Repelling Curse that the elder sister said!"
Charlie remembered that the elder sister once said that in the wizarding world of "Harry Potter", in order to hide the existence of magic, wizards usually cast Muggle expulsion spells in the gathering places of wizards, so that ordinary people cannot find their existence.
However, when he was watching a movie and listening to the big sister's commentary, he didn't feel much.
But now when he actually saw this scene, he realized how amazing the power of magic is.
In this world, if you don't have the blood of a wizard, then you don't even have the qualifications to discover the wizarding world,
If one day you and your family and friends are hurt by wizards, and you want revenge, you may not even be able to find each other,
How sad it would be if you couldn't spot him even if he was watching you from the bar across the street,
What's even sadder is that maybe even your memory will be erased, and your hatred will also be wiped out.
……
"Squeak!"
Alice reached out and pushed open the wooden door of the bar, walked in,
The dark interior of the bar may have been casted with a spell similar to the Untraceable Stretching Curse. It is not as narrow as it looks from the outside, but the inside still looks not very clean, and there are not many customers there at this time.
Seeing Alice's entry, several wizards wearing wizard robes just turned their heads to look at her, and didn't pay any more attention.
This also made Alice, who was a little nervous, relax a little.
