Chapter 13 Encounter, This Should Be a Coincidence
A red and black train stopped at the platform, with hot white steam coming out of the locomotive.
At the front was a sign for the Hogwarts Express, and on one side of the aisle was a sign for Platform Nine and Three Quarters.
This platform was quite crowded, after all, today was the first day of school, and many wizard parents came to send their children to school, and almost every one of them brought a stroller.
Cats and owls, the two pets allowed by the school, were everywhere, and only a very few people were holding a toad in their arms.
After Aaron passed through the wall, he found that the boy was staring with wide eyes, looking at everything around him with curiosity, and his eyes stayed on the train the longest.
He couldn't help but feel more sympathy in his heart. This kid was no longer unfamiliar with the magical world. Looking at him like this, he should know less about the Muggle world than normal people. From his joyful posture, it can be seen that he has never taken a train many times.
"Ahem! I can see that you are very excited, but I will remind you that the train will leave in ten minutes. What you should do now is to find a carriage and put your luggage and owl away."
The boy reacted and said gratefully: "Thank you, can you tell me your name?"
"Just call me Aaron, no need to thank me, it's just a piece of cake."
"Oh." The boy nodded, wanting to say something but stopped.
The two of them walked through the bustling crowd and found an empty compartment on the train.
Aaron was okay, after all, his luggage was not that heavy and he could easily stuff his things in, but the boy was different, he had a lot of things, and they were particularly heavy.
He dragged and pulled for a long time but couldn't lift it at all.
"Alas!" Aaron sighed, "You should feel honored, this is the first time I move things for others."
"Sorry." The boy said a little embarrassedly.
Aaron was just about to show off his strength in front of this future classmate, but when he tried to move the box, he also felt particularly strenuous.
"Ahem! It's quite heavy."
"How about I go find someone to help?"
"No, it's just a suitcase, there's no need to find someone to help." Aaron said, and then looked at the distance of more than ten meters from the carriage, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this would be the longest road he had walked today.
"Do you need help?"
A voice sounded behind the two of them, although it was a bit frivolous, but it sounded like heavenly music to Aaron.
"No..."
As soon as the boy said "no", Aaron couldn't wait to say, "That's great."
"Didn't you say that just now?"
"Asking for help and others taking the initiative to help are two completely different things." Aaron said confidently, with a calmness that did not belong to this age group, "Believe me, you will understand this later."
The boy seemed to understand something, looked at the red-haired boy, and said shyly and hesitantly, "I think I do need help."
He immediately turned around and shouted, "Hey, Fred, come and help."
A moment later, a red-haired boy who looked exactly like the red-haired boy came over.
They should be twins. Not only do they look the same, but they also wear the same luggage.
With the help of two more people, they finally lifted the box into the box.
"Thank you very much, otherwise I don't know when we would move in if we just relied on the two of us!" said the boy.
Aaron took out two lollipops from Abe's pocket and handed them over, causing the young dragon to look aggrieved.
"Although this box has nothing to do with me, I still have to thank you. Please don't be disgusted and accept it."
"This..." One of the red-haired boys hesitated. Although the lollipop was not opened, it was snatched from the pet's pocket after all.
Although the two brothers were naughty at ordinary times, they had never snatched food from the mouth of a pet.
"No need for that, it's just a piece of cake." Another red-haired boy said.
Hearing them say this, Abe's big eyes narrowed, and he took his own candy from Aaron very proudly.
The first red-haired boy's eyes lit up, and he looked at Abe with eagerness, "Your cat is so cute, can we hug it? Just for a while."
"Uh... I'm afraid this won't work. Abe never likes strangers."
"What a pity." The red-haired boy said regretfully.
At this time, a voice came from outside the car, "Fred, George, are you in the car?"
"I'm coming, Mom."
The two brothers shouted immediately and jumped out of the car.
From Aaron's perspective, they could see that they walked to a fat woman, and in front of them was a red-haired boy and a red-haired girl, who seemed to be a family.
Aaron sincerely admired this mother, after all, it was not easy to take care of four children.
However, a moment later, another taller red-haired boy walked over and gathered with them, talking about something.
"Good guy, really good guy."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I just think that fat woman must be a great mother.
Five children! And they can handle the family relationship so harmoniously."
The boy turned his head and saw the twin brothers greeting him, and he immediately retracted his head in shock.
Soon, the Hogwarts Express started to start, slowly increasing its speed with the sound of "da da da".
The boy was very excited, and buildings flashed quickly in front of his eyes. The forests, fields, and even blue sky and white clouds outside were incomparably novel and beautiful in his eyes.
This was the happiest time in his life, because he was away from his uncle's family, away from the bullying of his cousin, and would not be mediocre in a Muggle middle school.
At this time, the boy found something strange. Aaron, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be more excited than him, and there was a little light in his eyes when he looked out the window.
This really confused him. Could it be that Aaron was also a foster child like him, who was oppressed? It didn't look like that!
After a few seconds, the boy asked tentatively, "Aaron."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but don't you think you are too excited?"
"Really? Was it so obvious?" Aaron was a little embarrassed to hold Abei, who was holding a lollipop in his mouth, in his arms, and used the dragon to soothe the exaggerated expression on his face.
The boy nodded hurriedly, "It's very obvious."
"After all, you're going to magic school, so it's normal to be a little excited." Aaron said, and then looked at the boy, "By the way, I don't know your name yet?"
"My name is..."
Before the boy finished speaking, the door of the box was opened, and a red-haired boy looked at the two of them very stiffly and said, "Excuse me, can I sit here? Other places are full."
The boy recognized at a glance that this boy was the younger brother of the twin brothers who helped him carry the box just now, and then patted the seat next to him, "Just sit down!"
"Thank you!" The red-haired boy sat down and directly reported his name, "My name is Ron, Ron Weasley."
"My name is Harry, Harry Potter." After the boy finished speaking, he pointed to Aaron opposite and introduced, "His name is Aaron."
"Puff!"
Aaron instantly felt like a dog, and almost threw Abe in his hand out of the car window.
What's going on? He has encountered all the outrageous things that he has not encountered in the past eleven years in the past few days since the start of school.
Haven't arrived at school yet? I got to know the protagonists in advance. What kind of luck is this?
Ron's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Harry with more admiration, and pointed at his forehead nervously, "So... is it true?
I mean, you really have that... that..."
"What?" Harry asked puzzled.
"Scar."
"Oh!" Harry lifted the hair in front of his forehead, revealing a lightning-shaped scar, and was a little proud.
"Amazing." Ron said with a sigh.
"Alas!" Aaron sighed deeply.
"What do you mean by sighing?" Ron asked, "He is a celebrity in the wizarding world, the boy who survived a catastrophe, Harry Potter! There are even books that record his legendary deeds!"
Aaron rolled his eyes at him, "So what? I'm not a fan, and this scar is not a good thing for him.
But I really didn't expect that I would sit in the same compartment with the famous Harry Potter."
"Right! I think so too, fate is so wonderful."
Aaron:......
What a good idea.
