Toby and Addy took a flight from Dublin to Heathrow, London on the same day. Fortunately he able to book the tickets earlier. They arrived after an hour journey and then took the train to Watford, for another 40 minutes travel. He called his grandmother once they arrived at the airport and she was at home, but Toby did not mention he was coming to her house with Addy.
This is not the first time Addy has been in London. When she was small, her parents brought her to London for vacation. Her mother has a distant cousin but she couldn't recall her name. Coming back to London was like bringing back the nostalgic memories of her childhood. She loved the London Bridge, rides along the Thames River, visiting the Buckingham Palace and Kew's Garden. She told Toby almost every detail of her previous trip to London. Toby was amazed with her story.
It was raining heavily when they arrived at Watford Station. They were lucky the train was not delayed. The station was the last stop at Northwest of London. Toby mentioned Watford was arisen from Old English - for "weat" means full of water or the area was marshy, or "wath" means hunting and "Ford". The name Watford was first mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter of 1007, where "Watforda" was one of the places marking the boundary of "Oxanhaege". He said he didn't know all these stuff even though he has been there many times in his childhood until he found them in Wikipedia. He read before that in 1778, Daniel Defoe, an English writer of the famous novel Robinson Crusoe, described Watford as a "Genteel market town, very long, having but one street". According to Toby, the town then grew rapidly with the railway, buildings and industry.
Toby suggested Addy should visit the museum where it contains material on the town and its area, the history of Watford football club, the Cassiobury Collection of the Earls of Essex and a fine art gallery. He told Addy that since The Harry Potter hype hit the world, a museum dedicated to Harry Potter fans was developed in Watford in 2012. It was called "The Warner Bros Studio Tour London", an interactive museum involved three-hour tour. It was quite challenging and there was a dizzying assemblage of sets, costumes, props, doodads and things to push, pull, sit on and wear. Addy was fascinated with all these movie stuff. Addy also knew Toby was previously famous for his role as young famous Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. She told she was a Harry Potter fan for many years but didn't know about his involvement. When she was young she wished she was a student at Hogswart school and be part of Gryffindor.
They had to wait for a cab at the railway station as it was continuously raining like cats and dogs. Others were also waiting for a ride to their destination. Addy felt bored and went to a nearby small sundry shop in the station and saw a few postcards with the Tudor-like building and old town background. She immediately bought a few of them.
