Chapter 100: Knight bus

   "You really don't choose to use Floo powder?" Horace asked again, uneasy, his expression was almost like Cronos's old mother.

   "No, I don't want to get out of the fireplace of someone else's home again." Cronos struggled to move his suitcase downstairs.

   "Remember, you only need to stand on the side of the road and stretch out your hand holding the wand. He will automatically appear next to you." Horace asked again.

   Yes, Horace was talking about the Cavalier Bus, and Chronos chose to take the Cavalier Bus to Diagon Alley this time. The world of Harry Potter is naturally to experience everything!

   The knight bus is a relatively modern invention in the wizarding society, and (though rarely admitted) draws some inspiration from the Muggle society. The wizarding world's demand for vehicles that can be used safely and carefully by minors or the infirm has existed for some time, and people have provided a lot of suggestions (such as taxi-style flying broomsticks, hanging baskets under night skies) , But all were rejected by the Ministry of Magic. In the end, Dugard McPhail, then Minister of Magic, came up with an idea to imitate Muggle's then relatively new "bus service". As a result, the Knight Bus was put on the road in 1865.

Although some wizards (mainly pure-blood fanatics) contributed articles to the "Daily Prophet" reader letter column announcing the rejection of this "Muggle insult", the Knight Bus is still popular with most wizards and is still very busy.

   After dragging the heavy box across several streets, Cronos stood on a relatively wide street. The dark streets around and the cold night made Cronos shrink his neck unconsciously.

   "Well, this is it!" Cronos looked around. After confirming that there were no Muggles, Cronos extended his right hand holding the wand forward.

   "Hmm~" After waiting for a while, there was a deafening sound from Chronos's left, and a strong light shot from Chronos's left.

   A second later, with a creak, a pair of huge wheels and car lights appeared in front of Cronos' eyes. The Knight Bus is a three-story, bright purple bus, with the words "Knight Bus" written in large gold letters on its windshield.

"Welcome to ride the Knight Bus. This is an emergency passenger transport for witches or wizards in trouble. Just stretch out your wand and get in the car, and we can take you wherever you want to go. My My name is Stan Sunpark, and I am your conductor tonight." —Stan Sunpark.

   Stan Sampark, a person who looks about eighteen years old, wears a purple uniform, has a pair of big fan ears, and has a few small pimples on his face.

  Kronos looked at the salute at his feet, and Stan immediately said: "Put it here! Guest, I will help you get them up."

  Cronos nodded, and after getting into the car, he began to look at the inside of the car. The driver and the conductor were sitting in the armchairs in front of the car. There were no other chairs in the car, but six copper-framed beds were placed on each floor. The lighting comes from candles on the shelf on the wall, and a small wooden staircase leads to the upper floors.

   He glanced at the driver in the front cab again. An older wizard wears glasses with very thick lenses.

   "Ah, that's the driver of our Cavaliers Bus. Erne Pran. He was already the driver here when I first arrived." Stan said behind him.

   "Okay, dear guest. Where are you going?" Stan fiddled with a small toy he hung on his chest, which looked like a ticket-issuing machine.

   "London, Diagon Alley!" Cronos said cherished words.

"Eleven silver Sicos." Stan stretched out his five fingers. "But if you pay fourteen, you can get chocolates. If you pay fifteen, you can get a thermos and a toothbrush. , The color is up to you."

  Cronos directly took out a Jin Jialong and threw it to him, "Give me a cup of hot cocoa. I don't need a hot water bottle and toothbrush."

   "Okay, dear guest." Stan drew out a ticket and handed it to Cronos, then led him to the car.

   "Guest, you sleep in this bed! I will bring you the hot cocoa you ordered in a while." Stan whispered in Cronos' ear. This makes Cronos very uncomfortable, obviously there is no one here.

   Stan walked down. "Drive! Earn." Cronos heard him say.

   With a boom, Cronos felt a push back. The car vibrated a bit when it drove, and rushed forward at an alarming speed. Cronos found through the window that it was always hitting the sidewalk~www.readwn.com~ but it couldn't hit anything. Rows of lamp posts, letter boxes and trash cans all jumped and avoided when the car came, and when it passed, it returned to its original position. With a huge bang, it would jump forward one or two hundred miles at a time, so that the Muggles would not notice its sound and appearance.

   After a while, Stan came up. He is dragging a tray in his left hand. There was a cup of hot cocoa still steaming on the tray, and Cronos didn't know how he did it. He can walk so peacefully in such a swaying bike.

   "Okay! Guest, you ordered a cup of hot cocoa." Stan put it on Cronos's bedside.

   "Wait a minute!" Cronos stopped Stan who was about to go down.

   "Can you show me that newspaper!" Cronos pointed at a daily prophet in Stan's bag.

   "Of course! Guest. It's just half a month ago." Stan handed the newspaper to Cronos.

   Cronos didn't answer him, he opened the newspaper. A huge headline appeared above: The staff of the Ministry of Magic won a huge prize

   The Minister of the Magic Department won the grand prize Arthur Weasley, the leader of the Ministry of Magic Office, won the annual grand prize of the "Daily Prophet", the Spanish sailing gold coin made by the Magog. Weasley also happily told the Daily Prophet

   The Weasleys will stay in Egypt for a month and come back at the beginning of Hogwarts school because the five children of Weasleys go to school there.

   Below is a photo of the Weasley family. Their nine members are standing in front of a huge pyramid and waving vigorously. But Chronos' gaze fell on the mouse "Spotted" in Ron's hands!
