Carl was back at home at 28 Hadlow Road again, and he wasn't going to stay long. Flash Dance

The winter vacation will be over in less than a week, and he will come back to get his things.

Due to the haste of his return, he didn't tell Nicol and Louise beforehand, and when he returned home with Hades Apparition, he found that they were not there at all.

The two of them left a note, it seems that because they are busy during this time, they will not go home at night during this time, and there is everything in the refrigerator, so that Carl can eat it by himself if he comes back.

Alone at dinner, Carl sat at the dining table, glancing at the evening news on the TV from time to time, muttering to himself.

It's really strange, it seems that Nick and Louise have been very busy since the pre-holiday period, and the so-called door in Washington that the two of them told him before

Carl suddenly thought of a possibility.

In other words, these two people won't be agents or anything like that before, after their prime, and now they are retiring in such a small place?

The more Carl thought about it, the more he felt that it was a possibility.

But then, he shook his head again.

Looking at Nick's figure with a low pressure of 150 and a high pressure of 250, it doesn't look like it.

Soon the news ended, and it was time for the weather forecast.

Carl was intrigued.

"According to bird watchers everywhere, owls across the country are behaving abnormally today. Normally, they hunt at night and rarely show their faces during the day, but today, owls fly around at sunrise. Experts also can't explain why owls change their sleeping habits. The newscaster said this, grinning. "Jim, remember ten years ago, it's amazing. 35xs Now let's hand the mic to Jim McGurgh and ask him how he feels. ”

"Oh, Ted, of course!" said the weather announcer, "I certainly remember that day ten years ago, and in fact, today is almost exactly the same as that day, and today the owl behaved abnormally. All over the country as far as Kent, Yorkshire, and Dandi, owls fly in the sky everywhere. Some even said that they saw the owl holding the letter on its foot, and it sounded as if someone was using them to deliver the letter, and the joke came here, let's see what the weather will be like in the next few days-"

Carl turned off the TV.

Early this morning, just as Dumbledore and Fudge had requested, the Daily Prophet ran a front-page headline - "The Mystery Man Reappears Again" was arrested at Hogwarts yesterday.

Like a depth charge, the calm wizarding world made huge waves because of this news.

On this day, it was even a bit like the day Voldemort had just lost power, and it was like an owl rain in the whole of Britain, and wizards were frantically exchanging information with owls, and the anomaly caused by owls even attracted the attention of ordinary people.

For Carl, however, this is nothing.

What really gave him a headache was another thing

On the second page of the same newspaper, there was only one article on almost a large page, in which a man was introduced—

"A New Hope in the Wizarding World—The Hero Who Captured the Mystery Man, Carl Cooper"

Looking at the incomparably handsome photo of himself occupying most of the page, Carl shook his head helplessly.

Hearthstone had caused enough trouble, and it was conceivable how much trouble it would cause him this time.

But

Looking at his photo in the newspaper, Carl unconsciously touched his face. Flash Dance

Sure enough, he is still handsome.

Ten years ago, Harry Potter, the boy who never died, brought the mysterious man to death at his peak.

Ten years later, Carl Cooper, the inventor of Hearthstone, the most popular wizarding game at the moment, single-handedly captured the mysterious man lurking in the school.

We have reason to see that darkness is always accompanied by light.

And hope will always exist in this world.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic will award Carl Cooper the Order of Merlin, Second Class, for his outstanding contributions to the wizarding world.

After two days at home, Carl got up early in the morning on the third day to go to school.

The back-to-school day is January 4th, but Nick and Louise haven't been home, so it's not interesting for him to stay at home, so he might as well go back early.

On the penultimate day of December, Karl returned to Hogwarts, where a large crowd gathered in the courtyard outside the castle.

The vast majority of students are students who stay in school, and there are also quite a few parents – which was not the case in previous years.

As soon as he appeared, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

"Son, is that him?"

"Yes, Dad, he's Carl, Carl Cooper. ”

"Mom, look, it's him! It's Carl!"

"Which one?"

"The white-haired one. ”

"Oh my God, he's as handsome as he looks in the pictures. ”

But he was too young to believe it was the mysterious man he had caught with his own hands. ”

"Mom, even Professor Flitwick is amazed by Carl's magic! Don't forget, he invented the Hearthstone! And he's so handsome, it would take someone like him to catch the big devil!"

It was a Hufflepuff girl who said this.

“”

All kinds of praises like a tide poured into his ears.

Carl couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Sure enough, people are so concerned about appearance, but lack attention to connotation.

As everyone knows, his inner beauty is even more than his appearance.

On the side of the crowd, surprisingly, people were just talking to each other, but no one came to talk to him.

Whether it is a student or a parent, everyone looks at him with an inexplicable awe in their eyes.

Glancing around the crowd, Carl didn't find an acquaintance, but a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Carl, you're back!"

Looking back, I saw Harry walking out of the lawn into the courtyard.

"Hey, Harry, just got back from Hagrid?" Karl said, glancing at Harry.

The boy had a smile on his face, as if he was happy about something.

"I'll go to Hagrid and do him a favor. Harry smiled sheepishly, not saying what he had helped with.

Carl didn't ask, and he knew that it probably had something to do with the dragon egg he got back from Tumbledown Alley.

Before the two could say a few words, the exclamations of the people around them were heard.

"Oh my God, that's Harry Potter, I saw lightning in his head! He's friends with Carl Cooper?" said a middle-aged man next to a Hufflepuff boy, presumably the boy's father.

"It's unbelievable that the two people who defeated the mysterious man are so young!"

“”

Karl and Harry looked at each other helplessly.

"Carl, I think we'd better be" Harry pointed to a shaded corner of the courtyard, where there was no one around.

Karl nodded approvingly, "We'd better hurry." ”

With that, the two hurriedly walked to the corner.

The moment I passed through the courtyard wall, the world was finally clear.

From Harry's mouth, Carl knew why there were so many parents in the courtyard.

"Because of tomorrow's national team trials, they all stayed in school during the holidays, and now their parents are coming to pick them up for the competition. ”

At this, the expression on Harry's face was a little gloomy.

Seeing this, Karl had to pat him on the shoulder.

Then, he remembered something and unconsciously looked to Harry's left and right.

"Where's Ron? Why isn't he with you?"

In his impression, the two were almost inseparable, and Harry was the only one at this moment.

Sighing, Harry shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Karl asked curiously.

From Harry's expression, it seemed as if something had happened.

Harry was silent.

"If it's inconvenient," Karl began.

Harry shook his head, "Nothing inconvenient. ”

He said, "I don't know what's going on, Carl, Ron and me"

Harry smiled bitterly, "Since I started going to the library, the two of us haven't been able to talk together for some reason. ”
