Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

A flash of light appeared before my eyes.

Regulus and Cassandra appeared before Puni.

"Uncle, Aunt, you're here!" Puni smiled.

“How could I not come to see my nephew off on the day you go to school?” Regulus laughed heartily.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

Puni blinked.

It seems his cousin must have had a rough time at home lately.

Chapter 12 What? You want to be my boyfriend?

I silently mourned for a second for my cousin whom I hadn't seen all summer.

Puni followed Regulus and Cassandra into the fireplace.

His home is some distance from the train station.

He certainly couldn't go there himself.

At the same time, there is no option to drive in the Wizarding World.

Therefore, Puni chose to enter the station directly through the closet, instead of bumping into the pillar between platforms 9 and 10.

With so many young wizards starting school, everyone is banging their heads against the pillars. The pillars keep changing their invisibility to paralyze the surrounding Muggles, which must be exhausting, right?

The pillar's hard work deserves our understanding!

"Shh!"

With a flash of light, Puni, Regulus, and the other two appeared on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

Regulus straightened his robes: "Hogwarts really should keep the fireplaces open, otherwise we'd have to take such a long drive there every time school starts?"

Cassandra looked tenderly at her husband: "Darling, Hogwarts is a school, you know, and schools should have a certain degree of closed environment."

Regulus smiled and said, "I think this magic school, which is nearly a thousand years old, has too many secrets that must be kept hidden."

Cassandra disagreed: "That's for safety. If any danger might arise, Hogwarts is the best escape route. At least our children can be protected there."

Regulus thought of Puni's cousin, his son who was still a child.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled.

What other crisis could there be?

Cassandra smiled and said, "They won't tell you before the crisis arrives."

Regulus shrugged.

Now he's turned thirty in the blink of an eye.

Many of my ideas are no longer as radical as they were back then.

He even recently discovered that he had become talkative, something he himself hadn't even realized.

“My dear nephew, do you think I’m a nagging old man?” Regulus looked down at Puni.

Puni was somewhat surprised: "Why would you say that?"

Cassandra covered her mouth and chuckled: "The other day he was lecturing your brother at home, and your brother pointed his finger at him and called him a nagging old man."

Puni blinked.

This cousin...

That's incredibly brave.

As expected of a general in the Black family.

Puni didn't ask what happened to his cousin afterward.

However, Regulus said with great enthusiasm, "I didn't know I'd become so talkative. Your brother's words were quite enlightening."

Puni looked up at him: "What is the effect of this initiation?"

Regulus laughed heartily: "I've learned what it means to be a gentleman who acts without speaking. If I can shut your cousin up, I won't waste a single word."

Puni coughed lightly.

His uncle is actually quite kind.

They were actually willing to say an extra word of nonsense, trying to turn a brat back to the right path.

"Rumble..."

Steam billowed in from afar.

A train that looked quite heavy gradually pulled into the station.

At this moment, many people also came out of the fireplace.

The entire platform became lively.

"Once you get to Hogwarts, if you need anything, you can just write to us. Even if I'm not home, your aunt will see it."

"Okay, Uncle, you know I certainly won't stand on ceremony with my dear uncle and aunt."

"Haha, you little rascal."

Regulus happily ruffled Puni's hair.

Isn't this just another form of raising a son?

Since Puni doesn't have parents, then he and Cassandra are Puni's parents!

In fact, he had considered adopting Puni directly into his own name.

However, Puni is the only Lestrange bloodline remaining outside the family. If he were to adopt him, the family would become a name without substance.

Even the Lestrange family's legacy in Gringotts might be beyond Pony's control.

And as Puni had previously expressed, he actually preferred to live alone.

For various reasons, Regulus ultimately did not make Puni his son in name.

Thinking of this, Regulus suddenly felt somewhat gloomy.

"If my foolish sister knew how outstanding her son was, would she regret trying to kill him in the first place?"

"What are you thinking about now? Hurry up and give the luggage to the child so he can get on the train and find a seat."

Cassandra glared at Regulus, then took the luggage from him.

"The train has arrived. Hurry up and find a seat you like. If you're any later, you might have to search for a place all over the train."

Puni nodded: "Okay, Aunt, then I'll take my leave here."

"Go quickly, and if anything happens, write to me and your uncle." Cassandra smiled.

Puni took the luggage, then waved to the two of them and got into the car.

"Ah~ It's a pity I wasn't in the same year as Harry Potter and the others. It feels like something's missing."

Puni, carrying his suitcase, randomly chose an empty carriage and sat down.

He placed the suitcase at his feet. The suitcase wasn't very big, and the Seamless Stretch Charm inside made the interior space quite spacious, so there was no need to put it on the shelf. It wouldn't be a problem to place it at his feet.

There were quite a few people on the platform, but almost none of them boarded the train directly; however, there were plenty of empty seats in the carriages.

Turning his head, Puni looked out the window.

The weather is great today, perfect for going out.

"It's also a good place to read."

Puni took out the books he had brought from home and began to read them with great interest.

In my past life, as someone who enjoyed studying theology and religion, coming to the Harry Potter world was like an old lecher falling into a den of beauties.

So cool!

Who says reading is boring?

Puni simply couldn't believe that anyone would be unmoved and uninterested while holding a book that could produce sound effects or even use magic projection to demonstrate and read the text!

Of course, if such a person really exists, they must be over 25 years old.

As time passed, the platform became more crowded, and the train gradually became noisy.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then the carriage door was opened.

"Hey, this carriage is empty! Hello, may I sit here? All the other carriages are full."

The person who came was a girl. She poked her head into the carriage, blinked her eyes, and made a request to Puni.

However, after waiting for a while, she did not receive any response from Puni.

"Um? Um... Hello? Hey! Excuse me, may I sit here?"

After the girl called out several times.

Puni finally came to his senses and turned around with a surprised look on his face.

"Huh? What? You want to be my boyfriend?"

Chapter 13 Qiu Zhang

As soon as he said that, the carriage fell silent.

Qiu Zhang froze at the doorway, her cheeks flushing crimson, her ears burning, her eyes blinking frantically, her hands gripping the doorframe helplessly, and she stammered, "I...I didn't...I just wanted to ask if I could sit here..."

Puni then realized he had misheard. He coughed awkwardly, quickly closed his book, straightened his posture, and said with a hint of apology in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I was so engrossed in my book that I misheard. I'm very sorry, and I apologize for my ungentlemanly behavior."

He gestured to the empty seat opposite him: "Of course you can sit here. The carriage is very empty, so please sit wherever you like."

"Thank you!" Qiu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled a little embarrassedly, and squeezed in carrying his ridiculously large suitcase.

But as soon as he turned around and looked at the overhead luggage rack, his brows furrowed slightly. He tried twice but couldn't lift it up, and he was too embarrassed to ask for help, so he could only stand there in a dilemma.

Puni stared at her for two seconds before snapping out of his daze. He had been so caught up in his surprise at meeting a yellow-skinned Chinese girl on the Hogwarts Express that he had completely forgotten the most basic gentlemanly manners.
