Chapter 503: Parting (Sincere thanks to the alliance leader)
For the exchange students who were about to leave Hogwarts, even the air was filled with a sense of anticipatory joy and the melancholy of taking a break from their family and friends in the house.
After breakfast, Harry hurried to the Gryffindor Tower, grabbed his bag and textbooks, put on his cloak, and rushed down the stairs in three steps and two steps. Harry wanted to find Alan before he left, to say goodbye to him.
"Harry. As he rushed to the foyer, Lupin stopped him.
"Professor Lupin. Harry paused.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom isn't in that direction. Lupin winked at Harry.
"Professor, I want to see Alan off, I won't be delaying for long. "Harry had wanted to rush back before class, but now that Lupin had mentioned it, Harry had taken a leave of absence.
"I understand your feelings, Harry, but I'm sorry. Lupin was a little embarrassed, but after taking a deep breath, he still spoke in Harry's puzzled gaze: "The Harris family has been very close to Fudge recently, and this student exchange event is said to be the result of their cooperation. Harry, you haven't learned Occlumency, and Eren is a Master of Regent, so Dumbledore wants you to try not to have too much contact with Alan until Voldemort is confirmed, at least face to face, and don't reveal too much even if it's a letter contact. You know, after your trial and your godfather Sirius and Dumbledore's big fight, some of the Order of the Phoenix didn't shy away from you, and it would be bad for us if they were known by Fudge. ”
Looking at Harry, who nodded after hesitation, Lupin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little guilty: in fact, Dumbledore told them that he suspected that Harry and Voldemort were connected, and it would be possible for each other to detect some information that the other person saw. Dumbledore was actually afraid that these news would be known and used by Harris, whether it was to inform Fudge or to carry out some actions on their own initiative, it might have a variable effect on the prophecy, and the Order of the Phoenix After Harry was tried, Dumbledore was not as forced on them not to contact Harry as much as he did at the beginning of the summer vacation, but on the contrary, they were asked to pay attention to the fact that the information revealed in front of Harry must be unimportant or even fake. Although he felt uncomfortable for Lupin to deceive Harry in this way, for these reasons and his belief in Dumbledore, he decided to do what Dumbledore had arranged.
As Alan reached the lakeshore as Mr. Harris had announced, a loud and strange sound came from the lake towards them: a pent-up rumbling and sucking sound, like a giant vacuum cleaner moving along the riverbed......
There was a commotion in the middle of the lake, with huge splashes and waves crashing against the wet shore - and then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug had suddenly been pulled out of the bottom of the lake......
A mast slowly rises from the center of the whirlpool...... The sail rigging gradually rises......
"Harris, I'm sorry you had to go to Durmstrang. Dumbledore's voice rang out behind Alan.
"Professor Dumbledore," Allen turned his gaze away from the center of the lake, "remember our conversation when I was in my third year?"
"Equivalent trading is necessary, and no one can achieve their goal casually without paying any price. Allen's tone and appearance when he said this suddenly popped out of Dumbledore's memory.
"Harris, it's something to look forward to leaving Hogwarts to learn something new in a new environment. Dumbledore paused, "But you need to be careful when you arrive at Durmstrang, my friends at the International Federation of Wizards told me that Carson Monte, one of Durmstrang's two vice-principals, and some of the school trustees who supported him behind him, were very unhappy with Karkaroff and your Harris big moves last year. ”
"Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore, I'll take note. "Since Dumbledore wants to show favor again, even if the other party must know that he will have channels to know about this, there is no need for Alan to take a hostile attitude, at least not in person.
"Take care of the other students. Dumbledore walked to the shore without waiting for Alan to respond.
Alan had already learned about this situation from Karkaroff through the Perception Imprint, but according to Karkaroff, although in addition to the position of vice principal, Monte also served as a professor of the dueling class, but his strength was only stronger than ordinary wizards, so Alan didn't care too much, and Alan also had the intention of helping the family consolidate their power in Durmstrang in the past.
Slowly, and with great grandeur, the great ship rose out of the water, bounced on the undulating waters, and began to sail towards the shore of the lake. A moment later they heard a thud, an iron anchor thrown into the shallow water, and then another snap, and a plank was placed on the shore of the lake.
Dumbledore greeted the Durmstrang men who were disembarking from the ship, and Allen, the exchange students, and some of their entourage began to assemble under the guidance of a middle-aged man with a full beard in a thick fur cloak.
Alan hugged the family members who came to see them off again, and finally hugged Hermione, who was still a little red on her nose, and whispered in her ear, "Take care." ”
After finishing speaking, Alan felt his shoulders sink, something grabbed his shoulder, and then Hermione was heard to speak: "Let Cotton follow you for the time being, the Thunderbird is highly sensitive to danger, at least it can reassure me." ”
Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood handed Luna a thick roll of parchment, "Perhaps on board you can pass the time by looking at these unpublished manuscripts of "Singing Against Tunes." ”
He looked at Allen, who was saying goodbye to his family and friends not far away, and said, "If Alan Harris doesn't have good intentions towards you, you will cast a curse on him." ”
But after thinking about it, Mr. Lovegood thought of Durmstrong's comments again, and became a little uneasy: "Except at Hogwarts, you haven't been so far away from your father." At Durmstrang, you'd better not leave Allen's sight. ”
Luna took the parchment and flipped through it on the spot, "Dad, you're surrounded by a lot of harassing flies. ”
Mr. Lovegood raised his hand and waved it around his head as if to drive the harassing flies away, and finally hugged Luna hard for a while before turning to leave.
Behind the father and daughter, Narcissa Malfoy, with her pale face and long blond hair scattered behind her back, grasped Malfoy's wrist with her slender fingers, and handed Malfoy a bulging leather bag with the other hand: "Your father can't come and see you off, but we have stuffed this bag with gold galleons, remember to keep it, and if you go over there, you will always make friends if you are generous." ”
"You are a pure-blood, you should not be discriminated against, and be more generous with the few retinues around Alan who go in the name of the Ministry of Magic. But don't mess with other people easily. Thinking about Durmstrang's ethos, Narcissa admonished worriedly.
Mr. Xenoflius Lovegood rubbed his hands together as he passed by Alan, hesitated for a moment and continued to take a step, and after two or three steps he suddenly turned around and ran all the way in front of Alan.
"Director Xenophilius?" Alan had tried to use the Regent to probe his mind just now, but although he had not mastered the Occlumency Technique, he didn't know if he was born with a chaotic mind or what protective items he was wearing, Allen could only get some disorganized thinking information, so he had to ask.
Alan was held by Mr. Lovegood: "Alan, don't let her be wronged. ”
After saying that, he seemed to realize that he was misleading by saying this: "Oh no, I mean, don't let the Durmstrang guys bully her." ”
Ramona Rothier, the leader of the umbrella team who had been following Allen, took a step forward and bowed to them: "Please forgive me for being rude and presumptuous interjections, Master Allen has already arranged for us to take care of Miss Luna at any time in the future." Mr. Lovegood, my daughter is not a few years younger than Miss Luna, and we get along very well, please rest assured. ”
