Chapter 357: Chapter 355: Dentor
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, turning the outside of the train window into a watery gray, and unknowingly, the sky was completely dark.
The compartnt door opened once more, and Fred and George took advantage of the dim light to stealthily sneak in.
"Percy isn’t here yet, right..." George asked.
"No," Cedric looked at the two, curiously, "It’s been such a long ti, is he still not done with you guys? It’s just a badge change, it shouldn’t be such a big deal."
"You should say he’s never caught us," George shut the door and turned to say, "We’ve watched him make several rounds in the train."
"You’re kidding," Cedric’s first reaction was disbelief, thinking they were just trying to save face.
The train is only so big, with an aisle running from the front to the back without even a turn in between, and the compartnt doors all have glass where you can see what’s inside.
If Percy was patient, he should be able to find them.
Kael thought so too.
"Did you learn the Disillusionnt Charm?" he asked, "Or borrowed Harry’s Invisibility Cloak."
"Neither," George sat down next to Cedric and said proudly, "We hid in the snack trolley. It’s hollow underneath, with a partition just right for two people to hide."
"Percy passed by us three tis and didn’t notice."
"Once, he even stopped to buy sothing, a Licorice Wand, and a Cauldron Cake."
"We recognized his shoes..."
"So, you’ve been hiding in the trolley all this ti?" Cho checked the ti, asking incredulously, "Wow, five hours."
The snack trolley isn’t big, about the size of the table in the compartnt.
Two people crouching under a table for five hours... honestly, if it were her, she’d rather be hit by Percy.
"Of course not," Fred said, "After the trolley makes a round, it stops at the front, which is the compartnt where the driver is, we stayed there."
As they spoke, suddenly the lights in the aisle and on the luggage racks turned on.
The dim yellow light illuminated the compartnt, making the outside even darker.
"We must be almost there," Ginny asked.
"Almost," Cho said, "About an hour left."
"I wish it would hurry," Fred patted his stomach, "I’m starving, I can’t wait for the banquet..."
As he finished speaking, the train suddenly began to slow down.
"Did my wish co true?" Fred stood up in surprise, pressing his face against the window to see the situation outside.
"That can’t be right!" Cho looked at the ti again, "There’s still an hour till arrival."
"Maybe the driver wants us to eat the banquet sooner and sped up the train," George joked.
"No George, I don’t think the train sped up."
Fred lifted his head from the window, "Outside is not our familiar Hogsade Platform but a completely unknown place."
As the train slowed, the sound of the wheels beca inaudible, with the wind and rain pounding louder against the windows.
