Chapter 91 Brother, Would You Like to Apply for a Card?

After the advent of the Statute of Secrecy, the complete decoupling of wizards and Muggles once brought many problems to the wizarding world.

The most typical one is the travel problem.

Apparition is of course very convenient, but this magic is not that easy to learn. Many wizards can't get the certificate... just like Muggles can't get their driver's license.

The use of Floo powder requires a fireplace, but not all places have fireplaces, and not all fireplaces are connected to the Floo network... Hogwarts is not connected, and outsiders cannot use Floo powder to enter the campus.

Therefore, a vehicle that can carry wizards anywhere at any time needs to be developed urgently.

The Ministry of Magic has also made many vehicles, such as taxi-style broomsticks, flying carpets from the Middle East, or hanging baskets under the Thestrals...

Various tricks emerged in endlessly. It was not until the 19th century that the Minister of Magic, Dugald MacPhail, imitated the Muggle "bus" and launched the wizard version of the Knight Bus... Only then did this problem be solved.

As long as the wizard raises his wand into the air, he can wait for the Knight Bus anywhere!

Of course, many wizards do not admit this, especially those from pure-blood families. It is more uncomfortable for them to admit that they imitate Muggles than to kill them.

Therefore, the Muggle bus must have stolen from wizards... It can only be said that if wizards steal first, they will be punished if they steal again!

At the gate of Hogwarts School, Rolf and Shirley stood there, bored, waiting for the bus.

At this time, Hagrid appeared on the road leading to Hogsmeade. He was walking drunkenly, followed by a tall man who was also drunk.

Hagrid saw Rolf and Shirley from a distance. He waved his hand and said loudly:

"Why are you two little guys here?"

"We are waiting for the bus to go to Diagon Alley." Rolf also waved: "Hagrid, why do you drink so much?"

"I drank at the Pig's Head Bar this morning." Hagrid scratched his hair sheepishly and said, "I met an old friend, so I drank a little more."

Both Rolf and Shirley looked at the tall man. Hagrid patted the man on the shoulder and introduced enthusiastically:

"His name is Robbie Coltrane, he was a good friend of mine from school..."

"Hello." Luo Bi also greeted slightly drunkenly.

"Let's go to my house and drink." Hagrid put his arm around Robby's shoulders and said, "You two little guys... I'm leaving first."

Rolf and Shirley looked at Hagrid and Robby's backs in the distance, waved their hands and said:

"Hagrid, goodbye!"

In the distance, there was an ear-splitting roar.

A bright purple three-decker bus drove from a distance. It passed through the forbidden forest, and the trees jumped on both sides.

The car finally stopped at the school gate. A thin young man wearing a purple uniform, with protruding ears and a face full of acne opened the door, jumped out and said:

"Knight Bus is at your service. I'm Stan Sunpack, the bus conductor for this bus, and I can take passengers wherever they want to go...except, of course, the bottom of the ocean."

Neither Luo Fu nor Shirley spoke. Instead, they looked at the car in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Sampac asked, "Isn't it the bus you called?"

"I called you, but..." Luofu turned his head and asked with a strange expression: "Is your car safe?"

"Of course it's safe!" Sampas patted his chest and vowed, "We haven't had any traffic accidents for a week."

"..."

"There is a large pool of blood in front of the car. It has not solidified yet. It looks like it was just hit." Luofu reminded.

Sampac let out an "Ah" in surprise, and hurried forward to check, and saw him howling: "Earn, did you hit something again just now?"

The driver, Ern Plan, was an older wizard who wore glasses with thick lenses. He stuck his head out of the car window and said sleepily:

"It seemed to be a centaur, all black. He shouted that we were not allowed to leave the Forbidden Forest. That was the centaur's territory...I didn't see the details clearly. I was too sleepy at the time, so I bumped into him accidentally."

"..."

Rolf raised his eyebrows. Why did the description look so much like Bain? He wouldn't have had a car accident in the Forbidden Forest, would he? !

"Forget it, never mind, they're just centaurs." Sampac muttered, "Where are you two going?"

"Diagon Alley." Rowe dug into his pocket and asked, "How much is it."

Sampac stared at the two of them, but the faces of the boy and the girl were hidden in their scarves, so they could not see clearly. He smiled and said:

"If you pay one galleons and seven sycolas, you can get milk and bread. If you pay two more cicos, you can get cheese and omelettes... If you apply for a card..."

"It's a lot cheaper, right?" Luo Fu smiled.

"Yes, yes, your tickets are discounted every time." Sampac stared at the boy's wallet and quickly replied: "As long as you top up..."

"Then I won't apply for a card, and let you earn more. You have worked hard, so I can't take advantage of you." Luofu took out the ticket money, threw it to Sampac, and quickly walked into the car with Shirley.

Sampac was in a mess in the wind. He had prepared a lot of speeches, but he hadn't said them yet... He didn't follow the routine!

There were various chairs on the car, as well as scattered wizards. Because of the sudden stop, they all got up from the ground.

Someone's luggage slid to the other end of the carriage, and the frog eggs, cockroaches and custard in the bag were scattered all over the floor.

There was also a wizard who was eating breakfast and milk was poured all over him.

Rolf took Shirley to the third floor of the car. There was no one here, so they found a window seat and sat down.

Rolf took out two seeds from his pocket and handed one to Shirley.

The ponytail girl took the seed with some surprise. She was about to ask, but the seed suddenly sprouted. Under Rolf's control, the vines wrapped around the girl like tentacles.

"..."

Shirley was stunned for a moment. She raised her fist with a red face and waved, saying, "What do you want to do?"

"Seat belt." The seed in Rolf's hand also began to sprout and wrapped the boy around the chair. He explained:

"When this car starts, it will be like a roller coaster. The chair is not fixed and will run around."

"If you don't fix the chair and the body, you will fall... I've been in this car before and have a lot of experience."

"Okay." Shirley said obediently, and let the boy control the vines and wrap her up without resistance.

Rolf took out two herbs from the box, and he picked one up and put it in his mouth.

This time, without the boy's instructions, Shirley followed suit and picked up the herbs, chewing them carefully.

Shirley was better than Hermione in this respect, she was not stubborn, not stubborn, and always obedient.

The girl asked vaguely, "What's the use of this?"

"Sweet night grass." Rolf smiled and said, "It can prevent motion sickness and retching... Anyway, enjoy this roller coaster."

Before the boy finished speaking, the whole car suddenly shook violently, and then it seemed to be blown by a strong wind, moving forward rapidly, and instantly away from Hogwarts.

...

...

(Hagrid's actor Gropi Coltrane passed away today and went to Twilight Zone to accompany Professor Snape... A moment of silence.

Thank you Mr. Robbie Coltrane for giving a perfect interpretation of the fluffy, warm, honest, and loyal Hagrid.

The second chapter will be posted around 12:30.)
