At King's Cross Station, Alan was saying goodbye to Penelope and the Umbrella Squad on Platform 9, which had just escorted them to the crowded passenger platform.

Although the 9th platform was still noisy, it was more orderly than before, and the young wizards boarded the train in an orderly manner under the command of the patrolling Aurors. The smoke of the steam locomotive bilfted over the crowd, and armed Aurors patrolled both on the locomotive and inside the platform.

"In order to prevent the Death Eaters from suddenly going crazy and attacking the students, Scrimgeour sent three times more force than in previous years. Penelope stood beside Eren with his arms crossed, and the Wolf Mother's squad surrounded them vigilantly, dutifully guarding.

The humming of the crowd, the cacophony of procrastinating and bulky salutes, and the shrill chirping of owls made Penelope frown, and she approached Eren and raised her voice slightly, "Alan, I will lead the Umbrella Team to Africa in a few days, although you and Luna will not need it, Albert will send other Aurors as your temporary escorts, and it will still be useful to use them as errands for you." ”

Alan leaned sideways, took Penelo's hand and hugged her: "Don't rush when you go to Africa, be safe, collect slowly, try to collect all the information, and pay attention to safety, don't take risks." ”

The sensation of a bucket of ice water pouring over her body came as Helena passed it straight over Alan's body. Alan looked at Helena, who followed Luna on the train, ignoring herself and the freshmen who were scared to run around, and touched her nose with a wry smile: "Recently, Helena has been angry with me, because I used hazelnut sauce with Luna to lie to her before, causing her to cry in public. However, she was only aimed at me, and her attitude towards Luna was soon the same as usual, and nothing changed. ”

"That's because it's you, Ellen, who smeared hazelnut sauce on her hands, not Luna. Penelope raised an eyebrow and said, she had inquired about it from Daisy after seeing the three of them lying on the couch before, "For ghosts, many things are already difficult to stimulate them, just like Professor Binns of the History of Magic doesn't care much about most things, but once stimulated, it is more difficult to fade those impressions and feelings." ”

"Helena is always in a mood. Alan shrugged.

"Why didn't she stay at Harris Manor? Penelope, who had seen Morgan Ferreuil's love for Helena, asked.

"After all, Helena is a Ravenclaw house ghost and a member of the Hogwarts Ghost Council, and returning to Hogwarts is equivalent to going to work, anyway, now that she has turned herself into an entity, I can take her to apparition, and it's convenient to go home. Alan touched her chin, but what she didn't say was that Helena was more inclined to return to Hogwarts after the holidays, after all, she had been in this place for a thousand years, and she didn't give up easily.

Seeing that the flow of people on the platform was increasing again, Alan gave Penelope another hug and stepped on the train. This time, Allen's carriage has changed again, and he can go to the prefect's carriage instead of the prefect's carriage, but to the student council president's compartment at the front of the train.

On the platform, Sirius, who usually has to stage a parting scene after being separated from his godson, said goodbye to Harry in a hurry today, and then searched for Allen's traces on the platform, but the train was about to leave, and he didn't find Allen, in a hurry, Sirius ran to the Hogwarts Express, wanting to jump on the train behind the little wizard who got on the train, but was stopped by the patrol Auror in charge of security.

"Sorry, please let me go up, I need to find Alan Harris, just say a few words, and I can come down soon. Sirius said quickly, and wanted to keep going.

The wands of the two Aurors were quickly drawn and pressed against Sirius's chest: "Sir, warn you to stand back, the train is about to leave, and according to the rules we will never allow anyone except students and staff to get on the train. ”

Sirius' face was full of anger, but in the end, he could only reluctantly raise his hand and step back.

The train started, picking up speed, Sirius with his hands in his trouser pockets, and it wasn't until he watched the train leave the platform far behind him, turning the corner, no longer visible, that he cursed in a low voice and departed in frustration under the wary gaze of the Aurors.

"Didn't see Alan?" a gloomy Lupin leaned against the wall of the platform's hidden place, and saw Sirius coming over and straightened up.

"A step too late, he had already gotten on the train, and the Aurors wouldn't let me get on the train to look for him. Sirius kicked the corner in a sloppy way, "Cheap Kreacher, that traitor, Alan must have known something beforehand to trick me into agreeing to that deal." ”

Once on the train, Alan first found Hermione, Luna, and Helena in the last car.

Hermione was relieved to see Allen and threw the magazine on the table and stood up, while Luna pressed the magazine to her chest and pointed to the article on it: "The article I wrote with my dad about harassing flies was published in "Singing Contrarian", and this issue of Contradiction also gave a free pair of anti-demon glasses. ”

Luna then removed the pair of glasses from the last page of "Singing Against the Tune", the two lenses in the middle of the glasses were like the eyes of a round owl, only the left one was blue and the right one was pink. The light gold frame wrapped around the lens resembles two palms, and it resembles the two wings of an owl, densely embellished with the pattern of stars and full moon. The glasses were framed on the bridge of Luna's nose, which made her look like a colorful owl.

Hermione turned her head, trying to control the whites of her eyes that she wanted to roll up—the other party was a famous Ravenclaw, but she always liked to join her father Xenophilius in fascinating creatures that could not be proven, and occasionally saying crazy things that would embarrass others.

"Alan, let's go, we need to go inspect the carriage. Hermione said that they should now go and keep order on the train, instead of listening to Lunakop's knowledge about the parasites in mistletoe—maggots that looked like maggots, thicker than maggots, black, had 5,000 teeth and had sickle-shaped hooks at the ends, had three eyes, and had a lifespan of about 20 years.

"Luna, you and Helena sit here first, let's go on patrol first, and I'll bring food later. Alan nodded to Hermione and instructed Luna and Helena.

Luna shook her head casually, and continued to read "Singing and Singing", reading to Helena those stories about strange creatures, Helena put her hands on the train table, while responding to her mother from time to time, while holding her cheeks and looking out the window, but completely ignored Alan's intentions.

Alan scratched his head, opened the car door, and walked out with Hermione. Immediately attracted by a figure standing in front of the corridor window, Allen, who had the duty of patrolling, stepped forward and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Hey, Tonks." ”

"Hello Alan and Hermione. Tonks looked back, his hair was messy and grayish-brown, his face haggard, and his smile had some reluctance in it.

"What are you looking at?" Alan looked at the window where Tonks had just looked, and saw only large expanses of green farmland, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Nothing, I'm on patrol. Tonks said hastily.

"Good. Alan blinked and let the other party leave, just a moment, because Tonks was unsettled, Alan sensed her thoughts, this female Auror who was trapped by love stood in front of the window because she had seen Lupin on the platform before, even though the train had moved away from the platform, the girl was still here in a daze, missing each other.

"Tonks seems completely unkempt now......" Hermione stared thoughtfully at the other's departing back, "why wouldn't Professor Lupin accept her...... Daisy says that Tonks said 'he's too busy blaming himself to notice' defending Lupin......

This is because the werewolf Remus Lupin, who has been subject to shame and prejudice for many years, believes that he is not worthy of love. Alan turned his head to look at the departing back of the Witch Magus, "Remus, who is often melancholy and lonely, actually found this young heart-faced witch interesting at first, and then deepened his impression of her, and then he was actually deeply fascinated by Tonks, he had never fallen in love before, and wanted to avoid this relationship with a masochistic and self-sacrificing thought, he wanted to make Tonks fall in love with a young handsome wizard from the Auror Command or something." ”

After saying that, Alan noticed that Hermione was a little melancholy, so he patted her arm to comfort: "The purpose of the laboratory under our umbrella pavilion is to help these werewolves, so that they are no longer marginalized in wizarding society, and better return to normal life, as for Lupin and Tonks, don't worry, I will find a way to help them." ”
