I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 369

c366 Three months later, the wind started blowing today

After finding an excuse to leave the cubicle, Ian also made up his mind to stay outside for a while. After all, it always takes a long time for girls to wash up and change clothes.

Destiny seemed to have really listened to his appeal. More than ten minutes had passed, and Ian didn’t see the cart selling snacks. In desperation, he could only continue to wander forward.

He didn’t want to give up the search, and just bought candies when he said he wanted to buy them. Just like starting a train on a rainy day, candies and snacks are indispensable on the train in the new school year.

This is one of his few secrets and obsessions.

I wandered around half of the carriage alone, and finally saw the familiar snack cart at the door of a compartment.

“Good morning, ma’am! Bring me some Bibi’s All-Flavour Beans and Licorice Sticks, um…and some Chocolate Frogs.”

Ian still respected the lady selling snacks. Although he didn’t see anyone, it didn’t affect his polite greeting.

There is no other way. In the original movie and TV show, the other party said: “Dear, do you want some candies?”

Really…a dream in many people’s childhood.

Back to business.

After hearing Ian’s call, the lady selling candy popped her head out of the booth and said with a smile:

“Please wait a moment, I’m coming!”

Ian wasn’t in a hurry, he really enjoyed the wait.

He even thought that if there were some underclassmen who were short of money in the cubicle, he wouldn’t mind imitating Harry and generously treating them once, to achieve the true sense of candy freedom.

However, the opposite happened.

It seemed that there were also big customers in this compartment. I saw this middle-aged lady carrying the goods on the trolley handful by handful. It felt… as if these candies and snacks were free of charge.

Out of curiosity, Ian also moved his steps and glanced sideways at the cubicle.

Hmm… the four little Doudings I don’t know have green faces. It doesn’t take much thinking to know that they are most likely to be freshmen this year.

After a while.

Ian paid 2 Sickles and 13 Nats and got a large handful of his favorite candies.

Originally, he didn’t plan to buy so much. After all, he was considered the owner of a candy store, and there were even a lot of candies and snacks piled up in Dragon Skin’s pocket.

However… when I saw this cart, it seemed as if some condition was triggered, and I couldn’t control my hands.

“Someone must have released magic on the trolley…”

Ian complained secretly, finding a reasonable excuse for his shopping spree.

At this moment, he was walking back staggeringly with the licorice stick he just bought in his mouth. It took almost 20 minutes, which was enough time for Hermione to change her clothes.

“Knock! Knock!”

Standing outside the door, Ian knocked on the compartment door. After receiving Hermione’s response, he pushed the door open and entered.

As expected, Hermione had already put on the Hogwarts standard robes, and… both on the ground and in the air, she had a completely new look.

Ian decisively did not mention what happened just now, but put all the candies and snacks in his arms on the table.

“I just bought the candy. Seriously, don’t you know how far I walked just to find the trolley…”

Half an hour later.

Under Ian’s deliberate guidance, the small cubicle returned to its initial warmth and tranquility.

Hermione put down the Bibi’s Braised Beans and glanced out the window.

“It’s raining. This time it finally goes as you wish.”

After Ian heard this, he subconsciously looked to the side. In the gray sky outside the window, sporadic raindrops had begun to drift from unknown time.

In the Scottish Highlands in early September, the temperature is not very pleasant, especially when it is raining lightly outside the window…

Ian reached out and closed the small half of the car window. Although he liked the breeze and cold weather, at least he couldn’t let the rain drift into the compartment at will.

…

The 1994 opening dinner was held as scheduled without any interruption.

In fact, this is considered normal. In real life, there are not so many thrilling and unexpected adventures.

Ordinariness and tranquility are the real mainstream. Otherwise, how to intimidate and coax the new students at the sorting ceremony at the annual opening dinner will become a rare pastime for the old students.

Looking at the nervous little cubs lined up one by one, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces… it was complete.

Of course, this also includes the little wizards who have just been promoted to second grade this year. They are also showing aunty smiles at this moment.

It seems that they really forgot that they just finished playing the protagonist last year, maybe they have not forgotten, but this does not affect them from watching the new protagonist this year.

After the banquet started, Ian sat alone on the long table in Ravenclaw, silently watching the lively scene in front of him. Everyone was toasting and changing glasses, letting laughter and relaxation fill the entire auditorium.

…

Time always passes by inadvertently and quietly.

More than three months have passed since the opening dinner of the fourth school year.

It’s mid-December, and there are only about ten days left before the Christmas holiday.

Unlike the quiet years at Hogwarts, the outside world has been turbulent in the past three months.

In the early morning, the owl delivered a thick stack of newspapers to Ian. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, the stack of these newspapers was one inch thick.

A total of 12 major newspapers!

Except for the Daily Prophet, the other 11 newspapers are all Muggle newspapers that Ian has subscribed to since the beginning of school, so that he can keep abreast of world trends.

After all, in Hogwarts, you can only rely on these traditional media to understand real-time news.

After opening the newspaper, the bold headline on the front page surprised Ian and thought to himself: It’s time to come.

“The Times”: “A shocking scam. The ancient germs hidden under the Antarctic frozen soil are not good news for mankind…”

“The New York Times”: “They opened Pandora’s box and the whole world was dragged into the abyss…”

“Wall Street Journal”: “The S&P 300 Index is 4,300 and the Dow Jones Index is 18,700. This is no longer a financial crisis. Our money is turning into waste paper…”

“Times of India”, “xx Daily”, “Asahi Shimbun”, “Washington Post”…

The whole world seemed to be a precise gear, starting to rotate in an orderly manner.

In fact, as early as a year ago, under the instruction of all parties, some media have chosen to ‘question’ the reliability of fungi, believing that blindly cultivating an unknown bacteria for medical use is irresponsible to mankind…

Simmer over low heat and stir-fry over high heat.

Today is the day to light up the fire.

Despite the clamor outside and the general denial of the benefits of fungi, Ian found that the situation was actually under control all along.

Just from the news in newspapers, we can see that overall it is a bit “chaotic”, but in essence it is not “out of control”.

The Wall Street Journal is the most obvious example. If it really gets out of hand, the financial market will not be as simple as a big plunge.
