Chapter 120: Three Beauties Traveling Together

Allen calmly finished his breakfast and then waited patiently; sure enough, at ten fifty, a person who surprised Allen walked into the wand shop.

"Professor Flitwick, what brings you here?" Allen asked in astonishment, looking at this unexpected guest.

Professor Flitwick looked down at Allen (Professor Flitwick's height is 1.07m), a perspective that made him feel very comfortable.

"Professor McGonagall received your letter; as you know, she is simply too busy, so she entrusted me to check on your situation," Professor Flitwick replied.

"Then how did you get here?" Allen asked curiously about this question, observing Professor Flitwick's travel-worn appearance...

"First I went to Hogsmeade Village, then used the fireplace there to come to Diagon Alley; I often come to Diagon Alley this way..." Professor Flitwick explained.

Then Professor Flitwick observed Allen and said, "You've had a nice holiday! I'm growing fonder of you by the day." As he spoke, his eyes even darted toward Allen's feet...

Allen silently rolled his eyes in his heart; he did not want this kind of fondness...

"Professor, have some water and rest for a moment..." Only then did Allen realize he had forgotten to offer hospitality to Professor Flitwick.

"No, I'm not thirsty; we must make haste, the Hogwarts Express departs at eleven o'clock..." Professor Flitwick pulled out a golden pocket watch, checked the time, and said.

"We still need to go to the Hogwarts Express?" Allen asked with some surprise; he did not want to experience social death on the Hogwarts Express, having assumed Professor Flitwick would take him directly to Hogwarts.

"This is tradition, and also the safest method to arrive at Hogwarts." Professor Flitwick was still looking at Allen's big toe...

Allen subtly tucked his toes back and continued asking, "Then what should I do?"

Professor Flitwick also realized it was time to attend to business; he packed Allen's luggage into a small sphere, then whispered to Allen, "Inside this is a fixed Undetectable Extension Charm; it can hold many things!"

Allen couldn't help but glance at that sphere a few more times...

"Now, take my arm, and make sure to hold on tight! Now I understand why Professor McGonagall let me come; if Professor Snape had come, you'd probably only be able to reach his leg..." Professor Flitwick instructed Allen, displaying his sense of humor at just the right moment...

Allen found nothing funny in Professor Flitwick's words, yet he still did as Professor Flitwick said...

When he took hold of Professor Flitwick's arm, Professor Flitwick began to wave his wand...

The next moment, Allen felt as if he were being squeezed through a pipe; his stomach churned violently, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself already at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, beside a crimson steam locomotive.

It was now ten fifty-five; there were only five minutes left before the Hogwarts Express departed...

Allen wanted to thank Professor Flitwick, but discovered that Professor Flitwick had already vanished without a trace, while his luggage had appeared at his feet...

By now the platform was quite empty; passengers had already found their seats on the train, leaving only wizards seeing others off on the platform...

People on the train and on the platform began to notice this strange little wizard...

"Mum, look!" A seven or eight-year-old girl on the platform pointed at Allen; she seemed to be seeing her older siblings off. "That little wizard is wearing a Gryffindor badge! Why am I so much taller than him yet I can't go to Hogwarts?"

The girl's mother felt her daughter's words were rude, quickly covered the girl's mouth, and then cast an apologetic glance at Allen.

But this had already attracted much attention; they secretly peered at Allen and began whispering among themselves.

Allen tried his best to ignore the gazes of those around him, keeping his head down as he pushed his trunk forward.

His soles were very thick, so today he wasn't wearing shoes at all; his huge feet stepping on the stone pavement made a "pat-a-pat, pat-a-pat" sound...

"Are you boarding the Hogwarts Express? Hurry up! We'll be closing the doors and departing soon..." A conductor spotted Allen and shouted loudly at him.

Allen had no choice but to quicken his pace, but running like this only made him look even more ridiculous...

Fortunately, the distance wasn't far; enduring the strange looks from those around him, Allen ran to the boarding entrance, where the conductor hurriedly helped lift both Allen's luggage and Allen himself onto the train—there was no other way, the steps at the boarding entrance were too high for Allen to climb...

Allen let out a long sigh of relief; he had finally caught the train back to school.

Just then, a shadow loomed over him; immediately after, he felt a pat on his shoulder, and turning his head, he discovered Hermione smiling at him...

"You've changed so much over the holidays!" Hermione said, looking down at Allen.

"So have you!" Allen said, looking up at Hermione; indeed, this was a novel perspective...

Hermione glanced at Allen's legs and said, "I quite like your transformation today; standing before you gives me the feeling of being an older sister..."

Allen rolled his eyes in his heart, silently thinking: I really don't see where you're bigger...

"Have you seen Harry and Ron?" Allen decided to change the subject.

"I haven't seen them board either; perhaps they're in some compartment on the train right now. Would you like to come to the compartment I'm in? There happens to be an empty seat!" Hermione pointed to a nearby compartment and warmly invited Allen.

Looking at the corridor bustling with people, Allen thought Hermione's suggestion was good; he certainly didn't want more people to see his current appearance, so he readily accepted Hermione's invitation.

After walking to Hermione's compartment, Allen discovered two other girls sitting inside: one with long black hair and black eyes, wearing a Ravenclaw badge on her chest; the other with silver eyes and dark golden-brown hair, wearing only the Hogwarts school badge on her chest, likely a first-year student this year.

After stowing his trunk, Allen hurriedly greeted the two girls.

"Hello, I am Allen Finis, a second-year student in Gryffindor House." Allen extended his right hand.

The Ravenclaw girl looked at Allen with keen interest; she extended her hand and gently shook Allen's. "Hello, I am Cho Chang, a second-year student in Ravenclaw."

After speaking, Cho Chang hesitated a moment before asking, "There's a question I've been curious about for a long time; since I am of Chinese descent and I see you also have black hair and black eyes, I'll boldly ask: are you also of Chinese descent?"

Allen hadn't expected to be asked this question; he smiled and said, "I am an orphan and not very clear about my background, but I suppose I am of Chinese descent. Nice to meet you, Zhang Qiu!"

Upon hearing this, Cho Chang smiled even more happily.

Then Allen turned to look at the other girl; that girl spoke first, her voice possessing an ethereal quality...

"My name is Luna Lovegood, a first-year student this year...."
