It was placed in a breeding warehouse that had been planned long ago in the school, and puppets specially designed to feed monsters were called in to take care of it.
"Okay." Standing at King's Cross Station, watching the sky gradually turn white outside the station, Zhang Mu clapped his hands, "It should be here soon."
……
"Check carefully to make sure you don't miss anything."
In the office of the Superpower Bureau of MI6, Toby's team of four, who had not slept all night, were checking the clothes and other belongings in their suitcases.
"Hey Toby." Clessie straightened up, "I know you're excited, and so am I, but we're not kids anymore."
"It's just a friendly reminder." Toby turned to look at Misha, who had a stern face and pointed at toys, snacks, etc. one by one. "Look, Misha is so serious."
"Oh my God." Claysie spread her hands and complained. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she had no choice but to lower her head and continue working.
“By the way.” After a while, Leon kept talking, “Yesterday, besides Toby, another freshman passed the test.”
"Vino, I know him."
The smile on Toby's face slowly faded: "The director revealed to me that he is Prince Suleiman's man."
"Prince Suleiman?" Leon's hands stopped unconsciously. "I heard that he is the next king's successor, and the people are very supportive of him."
"Very high?" Toby pulled the corner of his mouth. "What do you base your judgment on?"
"Uh, newspapers, Yahoo Messenger, and news pushed by MSN."
"Prince Suleiman has shares in these companies."
After a moment of silence, Leon realized what Toby meant, smiled and shook his head, and said nothing more.
Toby was a little surprised to see him like this: "Aren't you angry that you were tricked and deceived?"
"Who cares? I can't change it anyway."
It seems, indeed.
Standing upright and thinking for a while, Toby suddenly thought of Hogwarts. What kind of unknown changes will magic bring to the modern world?
"Uncle Toby, Misha didn't miss anything."
The sleeve of his shirt was tugged, and he came to his senses. He looked down at Misha with a lovely smile, and touched her head in praise.
I wish I had a daughter too.
Muttering to himself, he turned his head and looked at the whitening sky: "Let's go, the car is waiting for us downstairs."
Then the three of them folded their suitcases, walked into the elevator side by side, and came to the door.
In front of the door, the Queen's exclusive car, a brown Bentley State Limousine, was quietly crouching in front of the stairs.
More than a dozen military jeeps in jungle camouflage were guarding the sedan. Through the half-broken windows, the four people saw that the sedan was filled with soldiers armed with live ammunition.
The four people walked down the stone steps to the front of the car, and the driver's seat was pushed from the inside to the outside.
An old man in a tuxedo greeted them with an elegant smile: "Mr. Toby, Mr. Lyon, Mr. Clessie, oh, and this lovely little lady, Ms. Misha."
"Hello, Mr. Li." The four people who had been to the palace several times knew the old man's name.
"Get in the car."
He opened the car door, and several people got into the back seat one by one. The butler sat back in the driver's seat, started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and the convoy slowly moved forward.
"Mr. Toby, the Queen has something to say. I hope you can help inform Mr. Dumbledore."
"Please tell me."
"Some ambitious people have ill intentions towards Hogwarts, and the Queen feels deeply guilty for being unable to stop them."
Toby had been in MI6 for some years. Although he was not deeply involved in missions and intelligence processing, he had heard a little about it.
Therefore, he naturally knew who the ambitious person the Queen was talking about was referring to.
So he nodded: "I will bring it word for word."
"In addition, be sure to emphasize during the conversation that the Queen has no intention of using Hogwarts to eliminate the enemy. I believe that with Mr. Dumbledore's ability,
We can investigate the matter clearly.”
"clear."
The butler didn't say anything else. Toby frowned, thinking about something.
It was their first time riding in a luxury car, especially one that belonged to the king of their country. Leon and Clichy sat upright, too nervous to chat.
Only Misha turned her head and looked around relaxedly, wanting to ask Toby a question, but everyone else kept their mouths shut, so she behaved and didn't say a word.
The white in the sky became brighter and brighter until the morning sun came out and turned golden.
The convoy also stopped at the entrance of King's Cross Station, and the butler got out of the car swiftly and opened the back door.
When the four people appeared outside the car, they were immediately shocked by the lively scene in front of them. Leon and Claysey subconsciously turned around and got back into the car.
I think all the police in London were called in.
The uniformed police officers held hands and used their bodies to form a cordon on both sides to block the curious crowd.
"Where is Mr. Dumbledore? I want him to sign for me!"
A guy who might be a book lover was standing in the crowded crowd, raising his arms high and waving the novel in his hands.
Toby was quick to act and grabbed Leon and Clacy by the back of their collars with both hands.
"Don't embarrass the new students at Hogwarts, face it like a man.
Moreover, such scenes will always accompany you in the future."
After saying that, Toby waved to the crowd and walked towards the entrance.
Chapter 166 Departure
The four of them walked into the station amidst the farewell cheers from the crowds on both sides.
The butler followed the queen's orders closely with the soldiers behind him to ensure the safety of the four freshmen before they entered the station.
The station had been cleared in advance.
Apart from a few news anchors arranged by the Queen and cameramen carrying cameras, there were only soldiers standing in every blind spot.
"Will someone attack us?" Looking at the soldiers, Clessie asked doubtfully.
"We and Her Majesty the Queen are currently the humans who have the deepest contact with Hogwarts.
In our eyes, this incident is just a new semester admission for Hogwarts, but in the eyes of others..."
"Is this a chance for the kingdom to rise and return to the top of the world?"
"Yes." Toby took a step forward. "So it is difficult for the kingdom to guarantee that the kingdom's old enemies will not do something."
"They dare to offend Hogwarts? The big pit outside London is still there."
“The world is always full of crazy people who think they know everything.”
While chatting, the four of them approached the 9 3/4 entrance. Wino, who was dragging a suitcase with wheels, waved and greeted them.
"Good morning, Mr. Wino, congratulations on successfully passing the assessment." Although they served different masters, Toby did not show any hostility overtly.
"The same goes for the other four." He shook hands with each of them in turn. When it came to Misha, he deliberately bent down to look her in the eye.
After the greetings, he stood up and said, "The letter said the train will leave at nine o'clock. It's eight o'clock now. When do we arrive at the station?"
"Not sure." said Toby, who is in charge of external communications in the four-person team.
"Good morning, every body."
Several people turned their heads and saw that the person walking over accompanied by the Queen was Rowling.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen!"
They hurriedly bowed and greeted each other. The Queen responded with a gesture and then greeted Rowling.
"Long time no see, Ms. Rowling," said Toby.
"Not very long."
Rowling was very excited about "revisiting the old place" and her posture and tone almost failed to maintain her usual elegance and composure.
Toby, who knew the relationship between Rowling and Dumbledore, was not surprised, but the others looked at her with curiosity.
What kind of connection does Rowling, who originally thought it was a fictional story but actually wrote an autobiography, have with Hogwarts?
Obviously, no one would give them an answer.
The Queen had a kind smile on her face, like a grandmother who was worried about her grandchildren going on a long journey, and she reminded them to be careful and so on.
But it was soon interrupted by the faint light coming out of the five people's pockets.
They took out the interview line in a panic, and before they had time to check if there was anything wrong with their tickets, the old man's figure quietly appeared beside them.
"Quick! This way!"
The cameraman and the live broadcast host in the distance rushed towards them despite the soldiers' attempts to stop them.
The queen caught a glimpse of the situation and quietly waved her hand, and the soldiers let them pass.
"Deng..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the host suddenly found that he could not speak.
Dumbledore put down his staff and ignored them: "The train is at nine o'clock, there's no need to get there too early.
And Rowling, I agreed to pick you up."
"Sorry Grandpa, I'm a little..." With an apologetic smile, Rowling quickly walked to his side and put her arms around him.
"Well, after all, you haven't been back for a long time. I understand." The old man tapped her head lightly with his staff.
"New students of this term." He looked at the five people standing side by side, "Remember the precautions mentioned in the interview letter. If you violate them, you may be expelled from school.
As for the entrance exam, it may start at any time.
Finally, I sincerely wish you all good results in the exam. "
After saying that, the old man led Rowling straight into the wall and disappeared.
This scene was accurately captured by the camera that was focused on him at all times.
