Chapter 40: Hogwarts Express Box
On Platform 9 and Three-Quarters of London Station, the Black family was ready, and, of course, Cole and his family entered the platform.
Looking at the Hogwarts Express in front of him, Cole was thinking about what powered the train. Although it didn't look big, he remembered that the space inside the train was quite large.
"Father, we're getting in the car," Martin's voice pulled Cole back. Looking at the five little ones in front of him, Cole couldn't help but sigh. Time flies so fast. It feels like sending a child to kindergarten.
"Well, go ahead and take care of your brothers and sisters when you get to school, and write if you need anything," Martin nodded obediently. Jerome and Ben didn't show many different emotions. Only Alice's young face showed reluctance and looked like she was about to cry.
But Cole knew that this little cotton-padded jacket could turn around and play happily.
As Martin and the others got into the car, Cole saw Draco and Narcissa, but Lucius did not show up today; he must be busy with something.
Cole didn't go over to talk to Narcissa. He knew that Narcissa had been blaming him for not taking care of Sirius.
But Cole didn't bother to explain that he didn't send anyone in to kill Sirius because of the Black bloodline.
Sirius can coexist peacefully if he knows a little bit about each other, and everything about the Black family has nothing to do with him.
If you don't know what's going on, Cole won't be merciful.
After sending the children away, Cole had to go back and attend to his own business, such as registering the broom company and greeting the Ministry of Magic.
Fudge was a greedy guy. In the past, Cole gave some profits to the Ministry of Magic to avoid trouble, but now the Black family no longer needed it. What's more, the broom business is a formal and legal business. Unlike Knockturn Alley, it is something that can be put on the table.
With the International Magical Federation behind Cole, Fudge could no longer be an obstacle to the Black family.
On the Hogwarts Express, Slytherin's box was far more luxurious than other houses. Not only was it large in space, but it also had many people attending to it.
All this was because the wizards in Slytherin were basically pure-blood nobles, and these nobles would not look down on themselves when they were away from home.
Of course, it's not that there were no hybrid wizards in Slytherin; it's just that there were fewer of them. Of course, these hybrid wizards could enter Slytherin.
All of them were talented in magic, and they were also somewhat ambitious.
After all, the tradition of the Snake Academy was to be ambitious, shrewd, value honor, assess the situation, be wise and protective, and win first.
Those half-blood wizards who hoped to gain status or everything through learning magic would basically choose Slytherin.
Although Slytherin was known as the back garden of pure-blood wizards, it's not that half-blood wizards couldn't make their mark in Slytherin; they were just rare.
Pure-blood wizards were not as xenophobic as outsiders imagined. Pure-blood wizards only rejected the addition of waste, and they only excluded capable mixed-blood wizards.
Most wizard families would woo them, and many mixed-blood wizards would also choose to join pure-blood families and enter pure-blood families through marriage.
A pure-blood family does not mean that everyone in the family is a wizard with pure blood. If that were the case, a family would die out in a few generations.
Wizards are not fools. They will do things that are beneficial to their family.
Pure-blood nobles only ensured that the bloodline of the main line was not tarnished. Other than that, a family could not only have those few people.
Just like Snape, he was also a half-blood wizard. Severus' mother was from the Purlin family and his father was a Muggle who could not do magic.
But this did not affect Snape's excellence. In addition to his talent in magic, Snape was also an internationally renowned potions master.
This title alone could ensure that Snape's status in the wizarding world was not low.
What's more, many pure-blood families wanted to marry their daughters to Snape in order to incorporate the potions master into their own.
But it was a pity that Snape had his own heart and did not accept the goodwill of any family except the Malfoy family.
Lucius was very smart and had a good relationship with Snape when they were students. After Draco was born, Snape became Draco's godfather.
Because of this identity, Snape was naturally close to the Malfoy family.
Martin took his younger siblings to the Black family's box. Yes, the Black family had an exclusive box on the Hogwarts Express.
In fact, the Malfoy family also had one. In recent years, Cole had become a shareholder of Hogwarts, and countless gold galleons were sent to Dumbledore every year.
Dumbledore would still give him this little bit of face, so who would ask a pure-blood noble to pay for it?
The box was very large and had a space extension spell cast on it, so the box with five children didn't feel crowded at all.
Alice jumped and threw her handbag on the sofa, raised her arm, and a white snake appeared on Alice's arm.
Crystal clear, it looked like a gem under the light. Its red eyes were even more breathtaking, and the two fangs in its mouth were extraordinary.
"Alice, take care of your snake. Father said not to let it out in crowded places. If it bites someone, Father will definitely not let it go," Martin rubbed his head and worried. All the younger brothers and sisters were easy to deal with, but Alice was the most noisy and would pretend to cry in front of her mother.
"I know, brother, I won't let it bite anyone. Besides, dad made an agreement with the school and allowed us to take him," Alice's words "we" showed that Alice was not the only one with dangerous pets.
Originally, Dumbledore stipulated that young wizards could only bring pets such as owls, toads, or mice.
But when Cole wrote a letter to Dumbledore, he helped Hogwarts replace a batch of new equipment and ensured that the Black family would bear all consequences.
This matter was easily resolved.
Cole knew that although his children were not very obedient, they were not evil people at heart.
They wouldn't offend others unless they were offended. If someone wanted to harm Martin and the others, Martin and the others were not children who had never seen blood.
Seeing that he couldn't stop his sister, Martin simply let his snake out for fun. A one-meter-long black venomous snake coiled around Martin's arm.
Jerome's was a brown snake that had coiled up and was lying on top of Jerome's head, like a piece of jewelry that followed its owner to sleep.
Darlene's was a red snake; its slender pupils stared into Darlene's eyes, and it crawled onto Darlene's body, its scales giving off a hint of coolness.
The only special one was Ban's. The four to five-meter-long gray body was scary to look at. The most helpless thing was that Ban thought big was king.
That's why he chose
such a huge snake, which could also be said to be the existence of a python.
For a moment, people and snakes were dancing together in the box. If a little wizard came in, he would be scared crazy.
