Chapter 9: Have you seen a toad?


   "Sorry, excuse me, may we sit here?"
   Al Fanlin knocked on the wooden door of a small box in the carriage, opened it slightly, and poked a head in. Elverin and Hermione have been walking back since they got in the car, because the small box in front was already full of people. Elverin and they had searched for 5 cars in a row, and they finally came across one with A box with enough space.
"Of course, of course." The boy sitting by the window turned his head, and his black hair was lying softly on top of the boy's head. A square face, big eyes, and blue-black pupils showed a trace. The timidity and hollow eyes made the whole person look a little dull, wearing Hogwarts uniform.
   "Oh, thank you very much." Al thanked the boy in front of him, and then pulled Hermione in quickly and sat down. The boy in front of him obviously didn't know how to communicate with strangers, his eyes dodge slightly.
   "No, it's nothing, you don't need to thank me." The boy felt a little unnatural after receiving a word of thanks from a stranger!
   "Hey, hello. My name is Al, Al Fanlin, you can call me Al or Fanlin. This one next to me is..."
   "Hermione, Hermione Granger!" Hermione, I am a little uncomfortable with writing a scene that is easy to be cold, and after saying her own name, I turned to look at Elverin and motioned him to continue.
   "Uh, what is your name, did you just enroll in Hogwarts this year?" Al looked at the boy who looked a little unnatural on the opposite side, and spoke first!
"Hello, Al, Hermione. This is Neville, Neville Longbottom, you can call me Neville. I also received the admission letter from Hogwarts just this year." They were all newly enrolled little wizards, and Neville didn't seem to be so restrained.
"Oh. Hello Neville..." Al replied. Suddenly the atmosphere became frozen, which made little Elverin feel very unnatural. Hermione beside her also twisted her body uncomfortably. . "No, it can't be like this!" Al thought in his heart, with a forcible smile on one side of his mouth, and the three of them sat together, staring at each other. The symptoms just now were about to be committed!
   "Uh, Neville, it’s the first time Hermione and I have encountered magic, how about you?"
   "I, I have lived in the magical world since I was a child." Neville was still unchanging dumb.
   "Oh, that's great, can you introduce it to us!"
   "I, me, can I!"
   "Please Neville, I also want to know how the world of magic is different from what I read in the book." Hermione was obviously interested in this topic, and looked at Neville sincerely.
"Uh, well, well, let me give it a try, don't you..." Neville looked at the sincere gazes of the two people in front of him, and swallowed the words that you were about to say, don’t laugh at me. , Suddenly, Neville felt that, no matter what, the two people in front of him would not laugh at his incompetence, mediocrity and so on like the people around him. After a pause, Neville opened his mouth and began to tell some interesting things about the magic world that he knew.
When the chat box was opened, all the embarrassing atmosphere seemed to be wiped out. Neville said something interesting, and the three of them laughed. When the snack cart passed by, Neville took the initiative to buy some, Al And the snacks Hermione hadn't seen, such as strange beans, chocolate frogs, etc., Al also ate a strange beans with the smell of cow dung. All of a sudden, the disgusting Al ran out and spat out all the food he had eaten.
   When Al returned to the box again, Neville and Hermione gloated with laughter. The relationship and friendship between the little wizards are so easy to build, isn’t it?
   "You're looking for it, Chui Bao shouldn't run far, after all, he is just a toad, and we saw it just now."
Hermione frowned. Just more than an hour before the pit stop, the three people who were still happily talking suddenly discovered that Chuibao (Toad), who was sitting on Neville’s lap, disappeared strangely. . Neville feels like crying in a hurry.
   "Don't worry, Neville, we will find it." Al patted Neville on the shoulder, lowered his head, and thought.
"Well, Hermione, the two of us went to the snack trolley and looked all the way. I suspect that it was Chuan who followed the snack trolley. After all, I have been toad. It is difficult to run fast on the train. Wei looked for it in the box, but I couldn't find it. You can look in the opposite direction of us."
   looked at his watch, and the train arrived at the station at 5:35 in the afternoon. "I think there is plenty of time. There are 85 minutes left. We can get back here at 6:45. No matter what, we will get off the bus by then!"
   Al Fanlin raised his head and looked at Neville. Although he was still depressed, he was a little bit more energetic. This is better than doing nothing!
"GoodLuck." Tugged Hermione, Al and the two ran out, knocking down the boxes, repeating the sentence: "Have you ever seen a toad, Neville? The Toad is lost!" And Neville sighed heavily, and he messed up everything again!
   "Sorry, excuse me, may I ask anyone of you who have seen a toad all the time? Neville's toad is lost."
   "Sorry~EbookFREE.me~We don't have one!"
   "Oh, I see, thank you, sir (madam)."
   I don’t know which box it was. Al and Hermione retreated with disappointment. Al didn’t understand. How could Toad disappear strangely on a train?
   "Al, let's look for it, the last carriage." Hermione also looked a little bored, she couldn't understand why Neville would like to keep toads, and she wanted her to help find them.
   "It's not good to have a cat, a dog, etc..." muttered, knocking on the last small box of this car.
"I'm sorry." Seeing that Hermione was a little annoyed, Al quickly took Hermione and walked forward. Hermione also realized that it was impolite to open the box door without knocking. Let Al help her out.
   "Sorry, excuse me, have you ever seen a toad, Neville's toad is missing."
   "Sorry, we don't seem to be able to help you. We have been in this box and haven't seen any toads."
   The one who answered Al was a little thin boy, wearing a pair of shabby round glasses, and his forehead was covered with messy hair on his forehead. And his clothes are a bit loose, it doesn’t look like his own clothes. The other person in the box is a boy with red hair. Look at his clothes, uh, an old wizard robe is somewhat The whitish wizard's robe was obviously left after many cleanings. The red-haired boy held up his wand in one hand, while the fat squirrel was lying on his lap!
   "Oh, are you going to perform magic?" Hermione obviously found an interesting thing, got into the box, and at the same time pulled Elverin in.
   "Can you let us visit it too!"
