Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

Chapter 25: 9 3/4 Platform?

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

For nearly a month, Coven's life seemed to have been fixed. Basically, his figure only appeared in two places. One was the magic staff shop, and the other was the bookstore.

The new wonder of magic not only did not weaken, but as the number of books he read increased, Coven became more and more interested in magic. In addition, during this period of time, the relationship between Coven and Penelope became closer. He would visit Penelope's house every week for a day, and other times, the communication between the two of them never stopped.

Unlike the first time they met, at that time, Coven only wanted to make use of Penelope. He just wanted to use the help of Penelope's family to temporarily get him out of Diagon Alley.

After that day of contact, Coven gradually accepted Penelope as a 'peer' friend. Because Coven found that Penelope was rarely as childish as an eleven-year-old child. On the contrary, he was far more mature than his peers. In addition, most of the two people were discussing magic, so Coven felt that there was basically no generation gap between him and Penelope.

Of course, there was still a generation gap, which was that Penelope was very obsessed with the collection of dolls. Fortunately, every time Penelope talked about dolls, Coven would immediately change the topic to magic...

There were other changes in Coven during this month, which was the problem of his character setting. As his acting continued, Coven slowly became cheerful and no longer as cautious as before. In this regard, Ollivander gave high praise. The other wizard that Coven knew seemed to like his sunny character more...

...

It was finally the first day of September, the day of Hogwarts opening.

Early in the morning, Coven brought the necessary supplies for school with Ollivander's instructions and was driven away by Mr. Clearwater.

At half past ten in the afternoon, Clearwater's family, Coven's group of four drove to the 'King Cross' train station and walked into the platform.

"Darling, can you tell me where the platform is now?" Mr. Clearwater helped Penelope push the luggage cart, looking around while asking his wife.

"Isn't the train ticket printed very clearly?" The corners of Madam Clearwater's mouth slightly curled up, but she did not answer directly.

"But I have been in a car many times." Mr. Clearwater smiled helplessly and asked, "But I'm sure I've never seen any platform 9."

"Alright." At this point, Mr. Clearwater smiled bitterly as if he had surrendered. "I know. Is it some sort of invisible magic?"

Seeing that his lover smiled tacitly, Mr. Clearwater could only smile helplessly and ask, "Okay, darling, tell us where the platform is. There is still half an hour before the car starts. Don't delay the children from getting on the car."

"Dad is stupid." Penelope, who was walking side by side with Coven, smiled and said, " 9? The platform must be between the ninth platform and the tenth platform!"

"Really?" Mr. Clearwater did not believe it and asked his wife, "If I am not wrong, aren't the things in the magic world accustomed to violating common sense? So I think there is a high chance that they are between other platforms."

"Maybe he is like this in other aspects." Coven, who was pushing the luggage cart, interrupted and said with a smile, "But I think the platform should be an exception. After all, I still have to take care of those new students who are all ordinary people."

"Coven, you are so smart." Mrs. Clearwater sighed with admiration,"The reason is just as Coven has analyzed. That's right, the location is between the ninth platform and the tenth platform."

"Yay! I guessed right!" Penelope cheered happily.

"Alright." Mr. Clearwater sighed as if admitting defeat. Then, he looked around and said, "Let me see... the ninth platform, the tenth platform... I see it. Over there, let's go."

...

After crossing a distance of nearly 30 meters, the four of them arrived at the empty space between the ninth platform and the tenth platform. After stopping the tram, Mr. Clearwater couldn't help but look around to find where the hidden platform was.

Of course, Mr. Clearwater only did it for nothing.

"There's no need to search. It's over there." Mrs. Clearwater interrupted her husband's search and raised her finger to point at the pillar in front of her.

"Okay..." Mr. Clearwater sighed and gave up struggling. Then he asked, "Then how should we go in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man about fifteen years old pushed a luggage cart past everyone and directly crashed into the Chengzhong wall pillar.

Without waiting for Mr. Clearwater to cry out in alarm, the figure of the young man suddenly drilled into the wall and disappeared.

"My god..." Mr. Clearwater was stunned.

At this time, seeing the scene in front of him, the movie scenes that he had seen before instantly appeared in his mind, causing his eyes to reveal a trace of realization.

Next to him, Mr. Clearwater was nervously looking around, and at the same time, he said anxiously in a low voice, "So the child went in without any disguise? Is he not afraid of being seen by others?"

"Don't worry." Madam Clearwater explained, "The magic spells here can make ordinary people subconsciously ignore this place. As long as they don't stare at it like you, no one will notice what happened here."

"What if someone sees it?" Penelope interrupted and asked.

"There are patrolling wizards nearby. He will be dealt with," Madam Clearwater replied.

"I see." Mr. Clearwater looked around again, trying to find those wizards.

"Okay, don't waste time." Mrs. Clearwater patted her husband and turned to say, "Children, let's go in."

"Okay, mom." Penelope responded and asked again, "Just like that person from before, we should rush in directly, right?"

"That's right." Madam Clearwater nodded.

"Coven, let's go." Penelope greeted.

"Yes." Coven responded, then pushed the luggage cart and sped up, rushing to the platform wall.

However, when the luggage cart was about to hit the wall, Coven couldn't help but show a trace of hesitation. He subconsciously stopped and then used his arm to push the luggage toward the wall.

Seeing that the luggage cart had successfully entered the wall, Coven took a step forward and followed the luggage cart into the wall.

"Well, magic is really magical." Seeing this, Mr. Clearwater sighed and pushed the luggage cart forward. "I'll try it too."

"Stop! What are you trying?" Madam Clearwater helplessly grabbed her husband.

"What?" Mr. Clearwater was puzzled.

Mrs. Clearwater explained, "Only wizards can go there. Ordinary people can't go in. You will really hit the wall."

"Ah?" Mr. Clearwater was dumbfounded...
