I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 25 An Encounter

Chu Yang activated his Observation Haki and clearly heard the sound of someone cursing "Muggle." Following the direction of the sound, Chu Yang quickly found his target.

Just then, a bespectacled boy hurried past Chu Yang, pushing luggage like Chu Yang, with an owl on top of the luggage.

The boy looked around blankly, seemingly unsure of where to go.

Chu Yang looked at him and, as if possessed, asked, "Are you also looking for Platform Nine and Three-Quarters?"

The bespectacled boy turned around abruptly, a look of surprise and relief flashing across his face. "You too?"

"Okay! Come with me!" Chu Yang led the way, with the bespectacled boy following closely behind.

"You're also a new student going to Hogwarts?" Seeing that Chu Yang was about his age, the bespectacled boy immediately perked up and smiled, "Hello, my name is Harry Potter. What's your name?"

"Harry... Potter?"

Chu Yang finally understood why he had suddenly decided to talk to the other person; the boy in front of him, who seemed strangely familiar, was actually Harry Potter.

"My name is Chu Yang, you can call me Yang." In English, words like "Yang" and "Yang" can be pronounced as "Young".

"Yang!" Harry smiled and asked curiously, "Are you from an ancient country in the East? Does Hogwarts accept students from there?"

"By blood, I am indeed from there," Chu Yang said with a shrug, "but I grew up in an orphanage in London!"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Harry felt he had offended Chu Yang and quickly apologized.

Chu Yang waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's okay. Actually, the orphanage isn't as bad as you think. I have many friends there, and Director Anna is a nun. She's very kind and good to the children. Of course, that's only if we don't cause any trouble."

Sensing the sincerity in Chu Yang's words, Harry also showed a look of longing, "Hearing you say that, I think it must be very interesting there."

Suddenly, Harry became somewhat frustrated and lost. "Actually, I'm an orphan too, but I don't have a single friend."

Perhaps because they were both orphans, Harry naturally confided in Chu Yang about his experiences over the years.

Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "The moment you board the train to Hogwarts, it means you've said goodbye to the past. Don't worry, you'll make lots of new friends at school."

Harry immediately felt much better.

At the same time, they are eager to enter Hogwarts as soon as possible.

"This is Platform Nine and Three-Quarters!" Chu Yang pointed to a wall in the middle of the platform and explained, "It's under a spell; we have to go through it."

"Go through?" Harry's eyes widened!

Then I watched helplessly as Chu Yang pushed his luggage and rushed toward that wall.

Just as Harry was about to scream in terror...

He saw Chu Yang's figure disappear into the wall, vanishing without a trace.

"Chu Yang?" Harry called softly, but there was no response.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, pushed his luggage, and rushed over in one breath.

After a brief period of darkness, Harry's vision changed, and a brand new platform appeared before him, with a sign above his head that read "Platform Nine and Three-Quarters".

"Hurry up, the train's about to leave!" Chu Yang's urging voice reached Harry's ears, and he shuddered, quickly pushing his luggage and following after them.

Once on the train, Chu Yang and Harry casually found a compartment to sit in. Neither of them were short of money, and the snack cart was completely emptied as soon as it arrived.

Chu Yang paid the majority of the cost, but to protect Harry's pride, he paid only a small portion.

The seats were piled high with snacks, and Chu Yang and Harry were picking and choosing. Harry was just curious about these things he had never seen before, and felt that each one was full of magical mystery.

Chu Yang was simply a foodie; more than the dazzling packaging adorned with magic decorations, he was curious about the taste of the snacks inside.

The two quickly drifted into the topic of family.

After learning that Chu Yang was an orphan like himself, Harry felt a strange sense of kinship.

Harry looked at Chu Yang with more sympathy and heartache, as if he were seeing his former self.

Negative emotions were quickly suppressed by anticipation for the future.

The two had only been eating for a short while when a somewhat disheveled boy stood in the aisle outside. His clothes were old, and his face was dirty.

Harry handed the boy a bag of snacks and invited him to sit down in the box.

Harry's enthusiasm made the boy happy, and his embarrassment disappeared.

The boy took the snacks Harry handed him and, while eating, introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Ron Weasley."

Harry smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Harry Potter!"

Ron's eyes widened in shock as he asked, "You're the famous Harry Potter?"

Harry scratched his head a little sheepishly and said, "If there weren't a second Potter, it would probably be me, right?"

"Do you have that? I mean the one that's been rumored to be there!" Ron pointed to his forehead, looking at Harry with eager eyes.

Harry smiled shyly, then lifted his bangs to reveal the lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

"Cool!" Ron exclaimed excitedly!

He then turned his gaze to Chu Yang's face and asked in surprise, "Dude, are you from an ancient Eastern country?"

Chu Yang had already guessed his identity, so he simply nodded as a greeting and looked down at "Practical Defense Against Black Magic".

This book can be considered an advanced version of "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense," and is intended for older students. It contains a wealth of knowledge about dark creatures, which is exactly what Chu Yang needs.

If the time is right, Chu Yang will definitely take a walk in the Forbidden Forest.

As for the textbooks for lower grades, Chu Yang had memorized them perfectly and would occasionally take them out to review.

Chu Yang was enjoying the pleasure of reading, but at this moment, Ron was a little unhappy. He had greeted him so enthusiastically, but Chu Yang had only nodded casually.

Ron had no idea how familiar Chu Yang was with him, so familiar that he subconsciously didn't greet him.

To Ron, who didn't particularly enjoy studying, Chu Yang's unusually fast flipping speed didn't seem like studying at all; it looked more like he was showing off...

Ron waved the snacks in front of Chu Yang and laughed, "Hey! Buddy, there are no teachers here, no need to pretend. Take a break. When we get to school, you can 'seriously' study then, so the principal and teachers will know!"

Chu Yang knew immediately that he had misunderstood.

Most people would misunderstand this scene.

Therefore, Chu Yang simply looked up and smiled, offering no explanation, before continuing to read the book in his hands.
