Chapter 38: Writing Hogwarts, Reading Trouble
When a person gets busy, life always passes quickly.
Making a plan, getting the original topics of previous years through various channels, then sorting them out, buying new books, and practicing magic - a big deal fell, almost steadily William's time.
Hagrid came to the bar to drink twice, and a month's preparation time passed by.
During this period, William searched for the house several times, but did not find a suitable one - the fireplace connected to Hogwarts would be closely monitored, and most people were not willing to do so.
Fortunately, the school wrote that a lounge would be prepared in the professor's office. Although it was not big, it was still possible to make a temporary transition.
Seeing that there was not enough time, William simply gave up his plan to find a house and planned to settle down at the school before considering the matter of renting a house outside the school.
On the last day of August, William completely gave up the plan and had a good meal with everyone in the bar. Then he woke up on time at 8 o'clock the next day, smiled and said goodbye to his friends during this period, and settled the housing funds with Lao Tang.
"Are you finally willing to come out of your little room?"
"If you are willing to sell it, I'm not willing to buy it."
"I can't do it if I want to sell it. No one can think of a bar until I can move my glass."
"Will you wait for seventy or eighty years? I will definitely consider it when I retire from Hogwarts."
"Retreat - OK, come to Hogwarts and be careful when you are on holiday. Remember to come over and have a drink."
"Oh, then see you again?" William ignored the half sentence that had been swallowed back, waved at Old Tom, and walked out of the Burnt Cauldron Bar.

Using Muggle's currency again is a completely novel experience, and the pound does not give William much familiar feeling.
There was no wireless, no mobile phone, and people on the subway held this book, and their itinerary was extremely boring. Shortly after they left the magic society, William began to miss it.
After finally reaching Kings Cross Station, William got off the subway almost as fast as possible and entered the station.
Yes, although it was a bit embarrassing, William still asked the school for a ticket with shame.
There is no way, although he has mastered the Phantom Movement, considering the curse on his body, William would never use the Phantom Movement that was not skilled at such a long distance.
Although Flour fans are quite fast, after visiting Hogsmeade Village last time, he decided to choose some and never use this kind of travel method that is worse than the Knights bus.
Hogwarts Express is comfortable and safe without charge. In addition to being slower, William really couldn't imagine the excuse not to take the train.
Pulling the box and humming a song, William began to look for a platform.
"Ninth, tenth, here."
After paying attention, no one was paying attention to him, William quickly ran into the wall.
He subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, a new sky appeared in front of William.
A crimson steam locomotive was parked next to an empty platform, and the sign on the train reads: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.
"Is this the Hogwarts Express? It's not much different from the ordinary train."
After a rough look and conclude, William walked straight toward the end of the train.
He came a little early, and he didn't sleep well after drinking yesterday. Theoretically, he would stay quiet at the rear of the car for a longer time, so he just took this opportunity to lie down for a while.
Taking off his hat and covering his eyes, William fell asleep directly against the chair. During this period, he heard some noise from the crowd, but William simply ignored it until an anxious voice came to his ear.
"Wake up, professor, wake up."
Who is the professor? Don’t bother me. I drank too much yesterday and I still had a headache when I got up.
William waved his hand angrily.
The voice paused, and then William felt a small hand pushing his arm tentatively.
"professor?"
Professor? Who is the professor—oh, by the way, I am.
He shook his head hard, trying to shake the darkness in front of him, and then he remembered that he seemed to have his hat on his face.
He stretched out a hand and took off the hat. The dazzling light made William close his eyes again.
He used his hat to block the light slightly, and then he noticed that the two lower grade students were trying to wake him up.
One was brown and the other was red, and both of them looked anxious.
"What, what trouble did you encounter?"
William recalled his responsibilities as a professor and asked patiently without getting up.
There is a high probability that something can't be found, or that there are students in the car fighting, William speculated.
"My friend (my brother) didn't catch the bus."
Didn't catch the car? Did you miss the car?
"Don't worry, just say, you came together, how can you be sure they didn't get on the train? Have you ever confirmed that they are not in another car or just have a prank with you?"
William's series of questions made the red-haired girl faint, and she was so anxious that she didn't know how to express it.
On the contrary, there is another basic logic.
"I got on the train early, but she-" the brunette girl pointed at each other, "They were a little late when they arrived, so they almost got stuck in the station, but my two friends were at the end and didn't come in through the passage until the train started."
"Have you notified the school with an owl?"
"Before I had time, I found the conductor. He said that there was a professor behind the train today, so I came to find you."
"I inform the school first with the owl and tell Professor McGonagall that two freshmen were delayed getting on the bus. I'll go to the station to see what happened."
William put on his hat and stood up.
The Phantom is forbidden on the Hogwarts Express. He has to communicate with the conductor, let the vehicle stop temporarily, and then return to the platform and pass through the wall to see what happened to the two people who were wronged.
"Wait, professor, can you bring me with you?"
"You go and send a letter with an owl. I will handle the two students' affairs."
William refused the other party. If he hadn't had owls and had no place to rent them on the train, he wanted to do the mail delivery by himself.
Rejecting the oil bottle, William strode directly towards the head of the train.
But when William got off the train and watched Hogwarts leave quickly and was about to move his figure, the girl had appeared before running.
"Sorry, professor, I told the conductor that you promised to take me to my friends. I'm sorry, I'm really worried about them."
The brunette girl said with an apology smile.
She looks cute and has a innocent smile.
But William didn't think so well.
The two slightly larger front teeth gradually turned into a word under this smile.
trouble.
William suddenly became a little worried about his future teaching experience.
