The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts
v3 Chapter 160: go to school by bus
Tom scratched his head, "Why did it take so long?"
Hermione rolled his eyes at him, the time for girls to clean up is different from your boys!
She took two small steps towards Tom, and made a quick circle, "How's this dress?"
The heels of the small leather shoes hit the floor with a crisp thud, and the hem of the wizard's robe flew up like a blooming flower.
"Good-looking is good-looking, but is there any difference from usual?" Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Tom scrutinized for a moment. He always felt that Hermione seemed to be a little different from usual, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"I won't tell you~" Hermione said proudly. She was keenly aware that Tom had noticed a change in himself, which made her very happy.
While he was waiting, Tom also changed into Hogwarts wizarding robes, washed his face and put on some perfume. After Hermione came out, the two took a taxi to Huck's house together.
At exactly nine o'clock, Tom rang the Harker's doorbell and saw the cabinet minister.
Today Huck also put on his best suit and tie - the clothes he only wears when he sees the Prime Minister, hairsprayed, neatly combed, and polished shoes. The whole person has a radiant feeling.

"It's time for us to go, Mr. Huck." Tom greeted Huck and Annie politely, and walked with Huck to the first floor of the apartment.
"Did you take the potion that came in the envelope?" Tom asked Huck, remembering something.
Huck hesitated for a moment, "This...not yet, because I don't know how long it will last, I'm afraid that drinking it too early will delay things."
Huck is more euphemistic. The root cause is that he cannot retain 100% trust in wizards. He needed to know why he had to drink the potion.
Tom and Hermione understood at once what Huck really meant.
"This potion is very important, because it can help you immune to the defensive magic of Hogwarts." Tom explained to Huck patiently.
"Defense...magic?" Some images popped up in Huck's mind: walking through a corridor, the armors on both sides came alive, pulled out a sword and chopped himself into flesh; while walking on the road, a fire dragon suddenly fell from the sky and burned himself Turning into charcoal ashes... After drinking the potion, a bubble-like protective shield will form around the body to protect itself through difficulties.
"The land around Hogwarts has a Muggle Repelling Charm. When Muggles step into this land, they will only see a barren ruin, and then think of urgent things and quickly get away from here." Hermione said for Huck Science popularized what is Muggle Repelling Curse.
"This potion will help you get rid of the Muggle Banishing Charm and see what Muggles can't see or hear."
"That's it," Huck felt that the explanation was still in the past - the magic world has not been exposed so far, indicating that they do have the means. This Muggle Repelling Charm should be a very important part.
Huck took the small medicine bottle out of his pocket, pulled the stopper and drank it. He smashed his mouth, feeling that the taste was not bad?
"So, how do we get to Hogwarts?" Huck asked expectantly.
"Take the bus."
Huck: ?
Huck suspects something is wrong with his ears. Is there any connection between buses and magic?
Seeing that Huck didn't express his objection, Tom decided to go to Hogwarts.
There are six ways to get to Hogwarts from London: Portkey, Floo, Apparate, Broomstick, Knight Bus and Hogwarts Express.
Among them, taking the train is the safest way, but the problem is that there are no trains. The train will only leave when the holidays are almost over. As for Apparition, Tom couldn't teleport someone yet. The broomstick and the door key were also unreliable—one was too exposed, and the other wasn't arranged in advance.
In the end there are only two options left. After weighing for a long time, Tom finally decided to use the Knight Bus. Floo is still too unreliable, and if Huck says the wrong thing, it will be troublesome.
The bus is very safe, you can accompany you all the way, and there are few witnesses.
Tom stretched out his wand.
Immediately afterwards, Huck saw an extremely astonishing scene: a three-story bus appeared abruptly at the corner of the street as if it had emerged from the void, rushing towards them. Eventually a slam on the brakes came in front of them and it came to a stop a few feet in front of them.
Huck could even feel the gust of wind as the car drove by. After the car stopped, he felt a thin cold sweat covering his back.
"Merry Christmas! Welcome to the Knights Bus, an emergency passenger transport for witches or wizards in distress. Just stick out your wand and get in the bus, and we'll take you anywhere you want to go. I'm your conductor Stan Sunpark. Where are you going?" The conductor Stan Sunpark got out of the car and looked at the three Toms.
"Hogsmeade," Tom replied, motioning for Hermione and Huck to get in the car.
"Ten snickers per person," Stan said, "but if you pay thirteen, you'll get—"
"Ordinary tickets are enough." Tom shook his head and interrupted San Parker's promotion, saying that no additional services were required. He took out his wallet, paid for the ticket, took Huck and Hermione across the beds, and sat down in a corner.
Once settled, Huck began to look around the buses. All you can see are beds with brass columns. There are brackets welded beside each bed with unlit candles.
Since it was daytime, the light inside the car was okay. But there weren't many people in the car, maybe they were all on the second or third floor, Huck thought.
At this time, with the roar of the engine, the car rushed out again, and Huck was thrown onto the bed without noticing. He tried to stand up and looked out the window to see that they were now on an unfamiliar street.
The knight bus was moving fast. But the driver doesn't seem to be very skilled, the car keeps hitting the pavement, but there are no accidents: the lampposts, letterboxes and trash cans jumped out of the way when the car came by, etc. It drove past and returned to its original position.
"Don't ordinary citizens see this phenomenon?" Harker asked.
"What they can't see, the car is enchanted." Tom moved to the bed and lay down in a comfortable position.
