Chapter 8 On the Hogwarts Express (Part 2)
Zhang Xiao looked at the thin and somewhat unconfident Ron, waved and said:
"Of course." He looked at Ron, who was empty-handed. It was obvious that he had already received guidance from his brothers and knew that he could put his luggage in a special box in advance.
Ron sat down awkwardly, his eyes quickly moved to Harry's forehead, and then he looked away again, holding the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands.
If it was just him and Harry, Ron could still muster the courage to talk to Harry.
But now there is another Zhang Xiao. Ron is obviously frightened and he doesn't know how to stir up the topic.
Zhang Xiao looked at the somewhat embarrassing scene in front of him and could only sigh secretly, playing the role of adjusting the atmosphere.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Xiao. You can call me Zhang. This is Harry, Harry Potter. We just met."
Ron breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly introduced himself:
"Hello, I'm Ron, Ron Weasley."
He hesitated for a moment, then summoned up the courage to ask Harry:
"Are you really Harry Potter?"
Harry also breathed a sigh of relief, finally reaching a familiar stage.
As for why Zhang Xiao was not interested, he also found a reasonable explanation for his new friend. China and the UK are thousands of kilometers apart.
Harry nodded and lifted up the long hair on his forehead with ease, revealing the lightning-shaped scar:
"Sorry, although I know you are interested, I really don't remember anything except a lot of green light."
Then the three of them finally entered a more natural chatting stage. Ron was interested in both Harry and Zhang Xiao, while Harry was interested in everything.
As for Zhang Xiao, he was chatting with the children, and by the way, he checked Ron's words with himself to see if there were any differences.
Fortunately, Ron still has five brothers and one sister, and still lives in the Burrow. When talking about his family, Ron obviously complains a little.
Old clothes, old stationery, old wands, everything was old, and his brothers were so outstanding, which caused a lot of psychological pressure on him.
Neither Zhang Xiao nor Harry meant to laugh at him. Harry's life was more difficult than his, and Zhang Xiao also lived this kind of life in his previous life. He understood how uncomfortable such a life was.
In fact, Ron's nature is quite good. Most people would not be able to withstand the pressure. He is more like the epitome of the majority of book fans. He is kind and upright, but also has low self-esteem, jealousy, and shortcomings, but no one is perfect and his flaws cannot be concealed.
After the little wizards got to know each other, Harry and Ron had already regarded Zhang Xiao as a friend, and Ron soon became addicted to the charm of "Dragon Ball".
It's him who always pokes the characters inside with his wand to make them move.
"This is really cool. I never thought comics that couldn't move could be so interesting."
Ron was flipping through the cartoon that Harry had just finished watching, and asked what the weird things in the cartoon were for.
Although he didn't understand it, it didn't affect his enjoyment.
Time always flies when reading comics, and there is a loud noise clicking in the aisle.
A woman with a nice smile and dimples pushed open the compartment door and asked: "Honey, do you want to buy some food in the car?
Harry hadn't eaten anything in the morning, so he jumped up. Ron's ears were red and he muttered softly:
"No thanks, my mom made me a sandwich."
He took out a large, tightly packed sandwich from his clothes and shrugged.
Zhang Xiao pulled Mr. Ha, who was about to pack the trolley, and said sincerely to Ron, who was blushing:
"Man, you're so lucky, that's a sandwich made by mom!"
Only those who have experienced it will understand how precious the food made by his mother is. Harry, a child who has been an orphan since childhood, was also empathized with by Zhang Xiao with just one sentence.
How he wished his mother could make him a sandwich.
Harry felt his nose was sore and his eyes were slightly red. He nodded sincerely and agreed:
"Zhang is right. If I had a mother to cook for me, I wouldn't trade it for the most delicious food in the world!"
Ron's face brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked at Zhang Xiao and Harry with faintly moved eyes, and took out the sandwich without hesitation:
"If you don't mind canned corned beef, how about we eat it together?"
Zhang Xiao said "Wait a minute" and chased out of the box. He bought a little of everything. To be honest, he had already been greedy for these weird snacks, especially Bibi multi-flavored beans, super bubble gum and chocolate frogs. , even the nickname of many of his games in his previous life was Super Bubble Gum.
Under the surprised eyes of Harry and Ron, Zhang Xiao scattered a lot of things he was holding on the small table and said briskly:
"We Chinese are very polite, so don't be polite. Let's eat together. Harry and I are very curious about these snacks. Ron, can you introduce them to us?"
Harry nodded hurriedly: "Me too."
To prove this, Harry took the lead and picked up a pack of chocolate frogs and asked Ron: "They can't be real frogs, can they?"
"Of course not," Ron said. "Look at the pictures inside. I'm missing one of Agrippa. The chocolate frogs all have pictures inside, so you can collect them."
Zhang Xiao opened a pack of chocolate frogs, opened the card, looked at it, and handed it to Ron:
"Here, Agripba."
Ron opened his mouth so wide that he could almost fit a duck egg in:
"Really Agripba? Man, do you know how rare this card is?
According to statistics compiled by the Daily Prophet, Agripba is the rarest! It has only appeared once so far! Some people even offered it for 100 gold galleons! "
100 gold galleons? That’s quite cheap. Zhang Xiao shook his finger and said with a smile:
"But it's only valuable in the hands of someone who really likes it, isn't it? Take it Ron, consider it a testimony of our friendship."
Ron bit his lip and was almost moved to tears. He nodded vigorously and carefully put the card in his pocket and hid it.
Watching this scene, Harry also felt that Zhang Xiao was a true friend, and Dali was 100 times worse than him!
No, Harry shook his head secretly, it was more than 100 times, I'm afraid Dali wouldn't even be willing to give him one of Nat's things.
In the following time, Zhang Xiao finally tasted the Bibi multi-flavored beans (orange, pineapple, pea, and stinky tofu flavors?) that he had longed for and the Super Bubble Gum that could blow huge bubbles.
Perhaps because she had helped Neville find Laifu before, Hermione did not take him to inquire from carriage to carriage, which made Zhang Xiao a little regretful. He also wanted to see if Hermione was as cute and beautiful as in the movie.
Ron slapped his head and took out a sleeping mouse from his pocket:
"Oh, I almost forgot about Banban, he is still sleeping, and I want to feed him a Bibi multi-flavored bean."
Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the mouse that almost single-handedly promoted the entire plot. A very tempting thought suddenly came to his mind: What if I kill him now?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xiao gave up. The main reason was that it didn't make sense and couldn't be explained, but he couldn't do nothing.
"Is this mouse very old? I have an Eastern magic at home that can make it healthier. Do you want to try it?" Zhang Xiao lied without changing his expression.
Ron handed Banban over without hesitation:
"That's great. To be honest, I'm always worried that this stupid mouse will sleep to death one day."
He took out a talisman from his pocket and wrapped Peter who was pretending to sleep. Regardless of his struggle, he waited for a while as his father taught him. The talisman shone slightly, and the wick on it flowed like water. Penetrate into its body.
The most basic tracking symbols can even be used by ordinary people. It is fool-proof and very easy to use.
Banban broke free of the yellow paper and waved his short upper limbs around like crazy. Zhang Xiao actually saw fear and confusion in its small eyes.
Ron and Harry looked at Scabbers, who was "sleeping" just now, jumping up and down with vigor, and applauded together:
"The magical power of the East, Zhang, my legs are a little painful recently, can you give me one?"
Zhang Xiao: "My power is limited and is only useful to small animals, not humans."
The two little ones both showed regretful expressions, but then they put the incident behind them and happily ate their snacks and read comic books.
It had become dark outside without realizing it. Zhang Xiao looked through the window and saw mountains and woods under the deep purple sky.
The train seemed to slow down, and the conductor shouted from outside, "The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the car and we will take you to school."
Now, little ones, put on your robes and put your things away, quick, quick, quick! "
The three of them looked at each other, took off their coats, and put on black robes.
Ron's robe was a little shorter, and his sneakers were exposed underneath. Harry kept swallowing, looking like he might spit it out at any time, and Ron's face turned pale under his freckles.
Although Zhang Xiao was not as exaggerated as them, he still became nervous, mainly because he didn't know which college he would be assigned to.
They stuffed the remaining candies into their pockets and followed the flow of people in the aisle.
The train finally came to a complete stop and the terminal was reached.
