Chapter 404 Back to School Train
The vacation was still very pleasant for Maureen. He went out with Alton to deal with three Muggle accidents and saw many interesting dark magic items-interesting in his opinion, but a nightmare for Muggles.
After the holiday, he set foot on the train back to school again.
An Ran was happily telling him how Muggle Christmas was spent and what fun gifts she had received, and then Maureen told him about her experience of running around with Alton during the winter vacation, An Ran suddenly felt that her Christmas was bleak.
"It turns out that wizard Christmas is so interesting." An Ran said longingly, "I want to experience it too."
"You can choose to stay in school next year—" Mo Lin thought for a while, and then said: "Or come to my house, if your parents agree."
"Maybe I'll beg, but I don't have much hope, you saw their expressions just now." An Ran snickered.
Maureen also laughed. An Ran's parents always seemed uncomfortable in the face of the enthusiastic Alton. At the train station just now, Alton asked the Brears and Muggles if they ate fried chicken burgers for every meal. Because he and Maureen went to Muggle McDonald's for a fried chicken burger during Christmas, and ketchup was their favorite food.
The Bolier couple looked at Alton and Maureen grandson as if they were country bumpkins. Hearing the word "ketchup", they didn't know how to answer.
At this time, the carriage of the train was pushed away, and a person appeared at the door. It was Professor Adams.
"Oh, sorry, I thought there was no one in this car—"
Professor Adams was struggling to hold a large handbag in his hand, and he was carrying a sports bag on his back. When he was about to look for an empty compartment again, he was relieved to find that it was Maureen.
"It's you, Maureen, Anran." Professor Adams was more familiar with them, because not many students knew that he was a Squib, and both Maureen and Anran knew it.
"Hey, Professor, you can come with us." Maureen threw the bag on the seat next to him to the shelf.
"Is it okay? I mean - didn't bother you?" Professor Adams asked hesitantly.
An Ran said with a smile, "No disturbing, Professor."
Professor Adams glanced at the corridor. Many carriages were empty when he came back from Christmas, but he thought that he would be bored by himself, so he brought the big handbag in.
"Exhausted, I shouldn't have brought so many things, but there are some things that I need to use in class this term, some interesting electrical appliances for Muggles—"
Professor Adams put the handbag on the ground, the handbag made a heavy muffled sound, and then took off the sports backpack on his back.
"Professor, you can buy a handbag with no trace stretching charm, so that it won't be too heavy to carry." Molin suggested.
"You said this..." Professor Adams sat down, wiped his sweat, and then said awkwardly: "I haven't been to a place like Diagon Alley for a long time, and that place is not suitable for me."
Maureen understood what Professor Adams was thinking. Diagon Alley was a magical world, and it was not a good place for Squibs.He took out his wand and said, "Maybe I can help, professor. Although I cast the Untraceable Stretch Charm on the backpack, it is not as delicate as the ones sold in the store, but it can still be expanded a little."
"You can cast the traceless stretching spell?" Professor Adams was a little surprised. Although he was a squib, he came from a wizard family after all and knew some spells.
"Mo Lin is amazing, Professor." An Ran said beside him.
"Oh yes, I forgot. Professor Kane mentioned to me that you got the No.2 of the Dumbledore Cup in November—very good." Professor Adams thought for a while, took the sports backpack, and opened it Unzipped: "Then you can help me expand this schoolbag a little bit. I usually like to carry this schoolbag. It would be best if it can be expanded - I will take out the things first."
Professor Adams took out the contents of his schoolbag, a few books, a laptop, a tablet, and a power bank...
"Professor, why are you still carrying your computer?" An Ran asked in surprise, "I thought this thing wouldn't work in school."
Professor Adams said with a smile: "It is true that there is no Internet at school, but it does not prevent me from reading e-books. I have downloaded a lot of learning materials on the computer-Professor Victor also likes to use my tablet computer to play Tetris, I played a lot of games."
"What about electricity?" Maureen asked, "I heard that even Muggles can't do without electricity."
"Electricity was helped by Professor Victor. He used magic to charge it. I told him about voltage and alternating current. He immediately understood how to control the magic of electricity. He would give it to him every day. Tablet charging," said Professor Adams.
"It's amazing!" Molin couldn't help admiring. He also played the game on Enron's mobile phone during the summer vacation, but because places like Hogwarts are isolated from the world, the mobile phone can't receive the signal, let alone the Internet. , but I didn't expect Professor Victor to have learned Muggle voltage knowledge.
Professor Adams took out a long and narrow cardboard box from his schoolbag and put it on the table. Maureen discovered that it was actually a magic wand.
"Professor, this wand—" Maureen looked at the wand in surprise.
"Oh, you said this." Professor Adams glanced at the wand, and smiled awkwardly: "Strictly speaking, I am not a squib, I also received the admission letter from Hogwarts back then, but—— How should I put it? Maybe my magic power is not enough. I can't even cast a small levitation spell. It's almost like a squib. I didn't get my diploma. Certificate."
Professor Adams took out a certificate of completion with Hogwarts' unique logo printed in four colors from his schoolbag.
"So it is!"
Maureen suddenly realized that he had always thought that Professor Adams was a pure squib. If a person had no magic power in his body, he would not receive the admission letter. Now it seems that he was mistaken.
Mo Lin had seen this kind of certificate, and he had many copies in his family, including those of his grandparents and parents, but the difference was that the ones in his family above were graduation certificates, which deviated from Professor Adams's.
"Actually, I'm quite envious of you, you can cast magic - I was very depressed before! If Principal McGonagall hadn't found me - she is a good person, I would never have thought that I would have the opportunity to be a professor at Hogwarts. "
Professor Adams smiled uneasily, and then took out a small pipe from the bottom of his schoolbag. This pipe is very unique, with a smooth surface and some ancient patterns. It looks like it has been around for a while.
"Professor, I didn't know you still smoke." Mo Lin looked at the small pipe with interest.
"Oh, I don't smoke. It was left to me by my parents before they passed away. It's an old antique. I usually carry it with me," said Professor Adams.
"Can I have a look?" Mo Lin had never seen such a small pipe.
Professor Adams handed the pipe to Mo Lin, and Mo Lin took the pipe. There was a faint warmth in the moment when the pipe was in his hands. He took a closer look at the pattern on it, and was slightly taken aback!
Below the mouthpiece of the pipe, there is a pattern resembling a balance.
And this pattern is surprisingly one of the twelve patterns Molin saw on the Dumbledore Cup last time!
