Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 90 People who were blocked outside the station... (Please subscribe first, please give me a monthly ticket)

The five special dragon blood wood wands kept Xilun in a good mood for many days. He was not even angry when no one sent him to the station on the first day of school.

I don't know if it was intentional, but on the first day of school this year, Garrick Ollivander received another letter from an old friend. Gregorovitch invited him to go to Norway to find the legendary rowan forest that can only be seen under the aurora.

Even Siren almost didn't want to go to Hogwarts after reading the letter. How could Garrick Ollivander resist such temptation!

He packed up and left that night. When Xiren woke up the next morning, he was the only one left in the wand shop.

"This is really getting outrageous. Last year at least they delivered to the entrance of King's Cross Station, but this year they won't even deliver to my doorstep..." Xi Lun muttered to himself and went to the Leaky Cauldron to buy an egg sandwich for breakfast.

The Leaky Cauldron does serve breakfast, but only egg sandwiches without garlic.

Then Xi Lun ordered three more bottles of butter beer, stuffed them into the deformed lizard skin bag, and then slowly walked out of the bar and stretched out his wand.

A gust of wind suddenly blew into the originally quiet alley, and the dilapidated street lamp began to sway, making a creaking sound.

Then there was an even louder crunch.

A bright purple three-decker bus seemed to appear out of nowhere and stopped in front of Xi Lun. "Knight Bus" was written in gold letters on the windshield.

Then, a conductor, also wearing a purple uniform, leaned against the door.

"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus... My name is Stan Shunpike, your conductor."

"Where do you want to go?" He looked up at the sign of the Leaky Cauldron and offered to help carry the suitcases into the car.

"King's Cross Station." Xi Lun also walked into the carriage.

"I suppose so. Three Sickles." Stan Shunpike turned back. "You don't need chocolate or a toothbrush, do you?"

"Yes, no need." Xi Lun took out three silver coins and handed them to him, then found a seat on the first floor and sat down.

The passengers here are all short-distance passengers. If your ticket is more than ten Sickles, you will appear on the second or third floor after boarding the bus.

There were no seats, but instead bunk beds for resting.

The driver was an elderly wizard wearing glasses thicker than a butterbeer mug.

As soon as Xilun sat down, he heard a deafening bang!

He suspected it was a sonic boom.

The Knight Bus was going so fast that he could only hold on to the handrail beside him to avoid appearing in the glass window at the rear of the bus the next second.

This is why he is reluctant to ride the Knight Bus, the experience is really bad.

After getting a little used to it, Xilun finally took the time to look at the passengers around him.

There weren't many people there. There were two witches sitting at the back, whispering to each other. They were still chatting with each other in this situation. They must be regular passengers on this bus.

Next to the ticket seller was a father and son, probably also going to King's Cross Station.

Xi Lun didn't know the other person and had no impression of him at all. He might be a freshman this year, or a student from one of the other three colleges.

boom!
There was another sound, and they drove through the streets of London at lightning speed. The buildings and benches outside the window all moved aside to make way for the Knight Bus.

At this speed, King's Cross Station is quickly approaching.

The driver slammed on the brakes, and Xiren had to hold on to the handrail again to prevent himself from flying onto the windshield.

Xi Lun and the father and son stood up at the same time. The young wizard was probably experiencing such speed for the first time. Before he even got out of the car, he was swaying from side to side, unable to tell which direction to go. He stumbled towards the driver. "Thank you," Xi Lun said to Stan, who had just found him a cart from somewhere.

Having a trolley is so handy in a place like King's Cross.

When Xi Lun walked into the station, there were still twenty minutes before the Hogwarts Express departed, so there was plenty of time.

From a distance, he saw a group of people gathered between the ninth and tenth platforms, and many of them were acquaintances.

"Seamus, Neville..." Siren greeted the two acquaintances closest to him, "What are you all doing here? If you have anything to say, can't you go to the platform first and talk?"

"We want to, too, but we can't get in." Neville looked like he was about to cry.

"How is that possible?" Xi Lun said, "You are not Harry..."

Wait, why does the person in the front covering his head look familiar?
"Is that Harry?" he asked automatically.

"Yeah." Seamus nodded. "It was Harry who first hit the wall, and then we realized the passage had disappeared."

"Ah?" Xi Lun stood there puzzled.

What's happening here?
Shouldn't Harry and Ron have arrived just a minute before the train was due to depart, and then been stopped outside the station by Dobby the house-elf?
Xi Lun was ready to watch the fun, but now... why did Harry arrive so early?

Although he was still blocked outside the station, it was still early and more people were affected.

Ciron took a quick look and saw that besides Harry and Ron, there were Seamus, Neville, Ginny, and the Hufflepuff witches.

Including Xilun himself and the one behind who had not arrived yet, there were a total of eight people.

As the minutes ticked by, the Hufflepuff girl was on the verge of tears.

"The train leaves in ten minutes... If we miss it... we will be fired..." She sobbed, her eyes red.

"Don't worry, my father and Mrs. Longbottom have already gone to find someone." Ginny walked over to comfort her, "We will definitely be able to get into the station."

"And this is an emergency," Seamus said loudly, as if to comfort himself. "We arrived on time, but we can't get into the station. The school can't expel us, right, Xi Lun?"

Everyone present looked over at the same time.

"Yeah, you're an Ollivander, so you'd know that," Ron said loudly.

No, is there any necessary connection between this and my last name being Ollivander?

Xi Lun didn't understand.

But looking at everyone's hopeful eyes, he nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Hogwarts won't expel eight students for such a small matter, and we won't be late."

"Even if we miss the train, we can still take the Knight Bus to school, and then we can have lunch in the auditorium."

Almost every wizard who has ridden the Knight Bus has complained about its lack of comfort, but no one has ever complained about its slowness... so being able to get from London to Hogwarts before noon is definitely not an exaggeration, and may even be a bit of an understatement.

However, Xi Lun did not notice that after he said this, the face of a little wizard who had just rushed over from behind him turned pale, and his legs were shaking non-stop.
