Chapter 5: Hermione Granger
Chris got on the train and immediately found an empty compartment. He packed his things and sat in silence.
Surprisingly, he realized that his parents who were so in love with him last month weren't waiting in front of the train like many parents did.
"I mean, it's okay, but I'm surprised my clingy mom didn't wait," thought Chris. After a few minutes, the compartment door opened and he saw someone he hadn't expected to see. She was a young woman who was quite familiar to Chris.
"Hello," the young woman greeted.
"Hello," Chris greeted back.
"My name is Hermione. Hermione Granger," she said as she packed her things and sat down.
"My name is Chris Evergreen. It's a pleasure to meet you Hermione," said Chris. He was quite surprised as there was only a 1% chance that he would end up in the same compartment as her.
There was an awkward silence before Hermione quickly broke it.
"Isn't it great that underneath the Muggle world is the fascinating world of magic? I mean, when I went to Diagon Alley, I was completely shocked."
"Yeah, it's really good," Chris said. He quickly checked Hermione's status.
Hermione Granger
Magic Power: 60
"Hmm...she has quite a bit of magic power for her age. I mean, I suppose she's practiced a lot to be able to use spells like Reparo."
Hermione continued talking to him until someone else opened the compartment door. It was Neville Longbottom.
"Hello. Is it okay to sit here?" he asked shyly.
"Hello. Of course, it's fine," Hermione said with a smile.
Chris nodded and Neville quickly packed his luggage and sat down next to Chris.
"The name is Neville Longbottom," Neville said.
"Hermione Granger,"
"Chris Evergreen,"
"Wow, you're the heir to the Evergreen Family," he asked with a stunned face.
"Oh no," thought Chris before answering.
"Yes, I'm from the Evergreen Family," Chris said with a smile.
"Oh my God, your father is my hero. He fought bravely against You-Know-Who's army of Death Eaters and he's as heroic as Barty Crouch. However, he's not just strong, he has a huge company that worth millions of dollars. Galleons!" Chris was really surprised that shy Neville was talking so loudly. It seemed that his father could even change the shyest person.
Hermione's eyes lit up.
"Ahh, I knew you were familiar. Your father was in the contemporary history book I read. So you're Bradley Evergreen's son. Truth be told, you really look like him," said Hermione as she started to inspect. he.
"Yes, I understand that a lot," Chris said.
The train started to leave. The three started talking and there was an occasional laugh from Hermione when Chris told a joke. Suddenly, Neville started screaming.
"Ahhh! Trevor is gone!" shouted Neville.
"Calm down Neville. Who's Trevor?" Hermione asked.
"My pet frog. He was a gift from my uncle. I was always scolded and punished for not showing magic power and when I did, it was the first time they were so proud of me that they would give me something. He is really precious." , said Neville.
"How do you lose something that is so precious to you?" Hermione asked confused. "If I had something so precious, I would always keep an eye on it."
"Honestly, I don't have a very good memory and I'm not very observant, so I miss things pretty well. There are a lot of things I've missed over the years," Neville said as tears began to well up.
What do you call a frog at the North Pole? Lost! said Chris.
Seriously Chris.. retorted Hermione
"Alright, let's help you find Trevor. Chris, are you going to help us?" Hermione asked.
Chris was about to agree before he heard a message from the System.
[Quest has been given. Find Neville's Toad. Though the frog is eventually found, isn't it better that Neville's crying be calmed?"]
Quest: Find Neville's Toad
Neville's Toad: 0/1
Reward: 2 scythes and 80 EXP
"Hmm... compared to Use Practice Room (2) which required me to use Practice Room 10 times, the payoff is pretty good," thought Chris.
Chris nodded and Neville and Hermione went to the left while Chris went to the right.
"Oh yes, I remember there was a perfect spell for that", thought Chris as he went to the Magic Book. It was a spell not shown in the book or movie, but he found it while browsing the Magic Book. He didn't buy it at the time because it was too expensive, but as soon as he got the money, he forgot about the spell.
Finding Charm (Inveniet): It is able to search for anything within a short radius.
Price: 1 sickle
"Looks like the system doesn't want to reward me a lot of money. In essence, I'm only getting 1 scythe. Well, I get EXP and magic power when I get this spell, so it's not too bad," thought Chris as he quickly bought it. The details of the spell entered his mind and after a few seconds,Chris eventually learned the Find Spell.
[Host learned the Find Spell. 50 EXP will be awarded. 211 EXP needed to level up. Money remaining: 3 G 14 S 18K.]
"That's very generous," thought Chris. He quickly took out his wand and cast the Find Charm.
"Inveniet Trevor," he sang. Soon information about Trevor's whereabouts entered Chris' mind.
"It's in a compartment facing me," thought Chris. He quickly went to the compartment to retrieve Trevor who was sitting there as if nothing had happened. The people in the compartment were nice and helped him get Trevor back. For Chris, it was the easiest scythe he'd ever won.
