Chapter 22 22: Hogwarts Express

Kudo wrote a cryptic letter to his friend Hattori Heiji during the remaining two weeks of Christmas vacation, asking him to find the code-named "Ley" whose real name was "Ley" who took him away from the stronghold of the mysterious organization in his memory. Akai Shuichi's man, hope that the other party can meet him.If there is no accident, he is probably still working in the special operations team of the United States Ministry of Magic. It may be troublesome to contact the other party with Hattori's relationship, but it is not impossible.Hattori quickly sent his owl back with a short "Yes".

Kuroba is still busy every day, sometimes to the Auror office, sometimes to Hogwarts, Kudo is not interested in asking, but secretly grateful that the other party did not take the initiative to ask about his gaffe on Christmas Eve Performance.

In the blink of an eye, the start date of the second half of the Hogwarts school year is approaching.

"Is it packed?" Hei Yu asked loudly downstairs, playing with a bunch of keys in his hand.

Kudo put his little luggage into the space shrink bag, stuffed the Hogwarts school uniform into it, put on a Muggle-style plaid coat, and carefully arranged himself in front of the mirror straightened his blue and silver tie, and after confirming that everything was correct, he grabbed his luggage bag and hurried downstairs: "Here we come!"

Kuroba was wearing a dark gray overcoat with a lapel collar that reached his knees, paired with a pure black turtleneck sweater and legged pants, and stepped on a pair of low-top boots. Standing at the entrance, he showed his signature to Edogawa who had just come downstairs With a smile, the whole person seems to be shining in the sunshine.Kudo almost tripped over himself, and cleared his throat pretending to be calm: "Wow...uh, the clothes are nice."

Heiyu turned around triumphantly: "I think so too."

He consciously took the luggage from Edogawa Conan who was walking beside him, opened the door briskly without waiting for him to protest, went down the stairs, shook the car key in his hand, and said, "Let's go." , little wizard."

Kudo looked at him in bewilderment, and followed Kuroba to the garage that he hadn't visited since he temporarily lived here.Heiyu raised his finger, and the iron door rose automatically, and the silver-gray sports car hidden in the shadows was gradually exposed to the bright sunlight. The light fell on its smooth lines, coating it with a layer of Dazzling light.

Kudo didn't expect Kuroba to buy a Muggle sports car, so he glanced at him in surprise.The other party laughed and pressed the unlock button on the car key.The doors on both sides slid up silently: "Didn't expect that?"

Kudo nodded sincerely: "I didn't expect that."

Although Kudo is a pure-blood, but because his parents always love to travel around and take risks, he also knows a lot about Muggle culture.Just looking at the shape of this sports car, he knew that this car was worth a lot.He couldn't help but looked in Hei Yu's direction again. It can be said that the other party didn't have the slightest look of a wizard, but his personable appearance looked very much like a rich man in the Muggle world.

...Well, this is really cool.Kudo secretly admitted reluctantly.

Hei Yu had already sat in the driver's seat, and waved to him through the windshield: "I know I'm really handsome, but if we don't leave, we won't be able to catch up with the Hogwarts Express."

Kudo's face was immediately stained with a thin layer of crimson, and he hurriedly hugged his owl and trot all the way to sit in the passenger seat.The car door fell slowly, and there were only the two of them left in the small space, so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly.Suddenly, Kuroba's whole body leaned over, causing Kudo to freeze suddenly, and his whole body was tightly pressed against the back of the chair.

--etc!He, what does he want to do!

Kudo felt that his whole body was messed up, and countless pictures that made people blush and heartbeat had appeared in his mind.

Then Kuroba stretched his hand over Kudo's shoulder, slowly pulled the seat belt over, buckled it on the safety buckle, smiled faintly, sat upright, put his hands on the steering wheel and said without looking sideways: "To fasten it Seat belt, otherwise points will be deducted."

"……Oh."

Kudo turned his face away in embarrassment, and cursed fiercely in his heart.

Damn it, is this how Kuroba Kaito used his beauty to commit murder in the Ministry of Magic and deceive countless people?Oh, not to mention the countless fans that this man has gained at Hogwarts all day long-

All in all, Kaito Kuroba is too much!

Of course, Heiyu didn't know that the person sitting in the passenger seat had already listed all kinds of crimes against him in his heart, so he said "sit tight" lightly and stepped on the accelerator.

——So the deduction of points is simply a lie!No Muggle can get you!

Kudo complained in his heart that he witnessed the silver sports car crashing out of Kuroba House, then gradually climbed up, as if driving on an invisible air road, and headed towards King's Cross Station in the center of London at high speed.Looking down from the glass window, there are pedestrians walking in twos and threes on the street, the red bus swaying across the asphalt road, sweeping back along with the old Muggle buildings at high speed.The half-hour journey that was expected to take was abruptly shortened in half. When Kudo got out of the car, his knees were a little weak, and he almost vomited out while holding on to the spotless car door.

Kuroba suppressed a smile and patted the other person's back, and asked with feigned concern, "Is Mr. Edogawa alright?"

Kudo didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes, and weakly pulled out a smirk: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Kuroba. Thanks to you, everything is fine."

Kuroba finally laughed out loud, and when Kudo finally recovered, the two began to walk slowly towards platform nine and three quarters.

When two people, one big and one small, pushed the luggage cart to platform nine and three quarters of the wizarding world, they really attracted a lot of attention.Many people recognized the young and handsome Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the mysterious and handsome Ravenclaw freshman walking beside him.Although their attires were incompatible with the wizarding world, they made their looks more handsome and outstanding, making many boys and girls who peeped blush.It has to be said that these two people have been baptized by this kind of gaze for many years, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. They walked to the entrance of a box of the Hogwarts Express that was already waiting on the platform with a relaxed manner, forming a He created a subtle aura that repelled others, making all those who wanted to strike up a conversation immediately discouraged.

Kuroba let go of the hand holding the luggage trolley, turned around and looked at the proud soul who was forced to be trapped in this body, and said regretfully, "I think we need to say goodbye briefly."

Kudo raised his head, met Kuroba's gentle eyes, and felt reluctance in his heart, but his expression did not betray him at all, and slightly bent his mouth: "Thank you, Kaito. I got through it A great Christmas break."

Hei Yu also smiled, reached out and hugged him gently, took a step back and looked around the boy who had been under the same roof with him for a month, teasingly said: "See you at Hogwarts, Jiang Mr. Togawa."

Kudo also showed a tacit smile: "See you at Hogwarts, Professor Kuroba."

Kuroba Kaito stood on the platform with folded hands and watched Edogawa Conan take his owl and luggage onto the Hogwarts Express, watching the old train slowly leave the platform with smoke, rolled up A gust of wind blew his hair even more messy, but he still stood there without looking away, until the train became a sesame seed and disappeared at the other end of the horizon, finally lowered his eyes, turned and left silently.

The short and unreal Christmas holiday came to an end quietly, and everything seemed to be back to the way it was before.

But they all know that something has changed earth-shatteringly in a place that they can't see.

The future is always something to look forward to, isn't it?

Re-boarding the Hogwarts Express after so many years, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, and almost walked towards the Ravenclaw prefect's box, before suddenly realizing that he was just an unknown Ravenclaw, who has no job, had no choice but to find a carriage that no one made and settled down.

——It's time to finish the homework assigned by the professors.

Kudo found his quill pen and a stack of thick parchment from his bag, spread it on the table and began to write eloquently.The beautiful and elegant cursive characters gradually emerged on the parchment, neat and smooth.Years of work experience have made him accustomed to writing the most concise and valuable content at the fastest speed, which is more than enough for Hogwarts fourth-year homework.This is why Kudo didn't touch the winter vacation homework much during the whole vacation, but left it until now to write - he can completely complete all the papers and seemingly complicated problems during this time.

Kudo wrote so engrossed that he didn't even realize how many people were standing at the door of the box.

"—Cough." The male voice had to make a sound to remind the existence of other Ravenclaws who were obsessed with rushing through the papers at an incredible speed, and knocked on the door frame of the box.

Unexpectedly, that Ravenclaw didn't even raise his head, and spit out a word with great momentum: "Say."

"..."

The few people standing at the door couldn't help being stunned, and didn't realize what happened for a while.At that moment, the coercion of perennial superiority appeared on the seemingly thin peers, which made them almost follow their intuition to answer the other party's words.

It took two seconds for Kudo to realize that he was on the Hogwarts Express instead of the Auror's office. He sighed in annoyance, stopped his pen and looked up at the passers-by with an innocent expression, making the three of them think that what they saw just now It's just my own illusion: "Sorry, I didn't notice, what's the matter—ah, it's you?"

It was none other than Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko who had a magic duel with him before, his crush—he didn’t know the girl’s name, sorry—and a boy who looked a little naive.

The girl said timidly: "The other boxes are full, so we would like to ask, do you mind if we share a box with you?"

Kudo raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Tsuburaya curiously.

——Isn't this kid willing to stay in the same box with him now because he had a fight with himself because of the girl's inexplicable jealousy?

Tsuburaya obviously also saw Kudo's doubts, unexpectedly, he just snorted and turned his head away, and said firmly: "It's fine if you don't want to."

Kudo couldn't help but move his luggage helplessly.

"Come in and sit."
