"Uh...... Excuse me, excuse me...... Do you know how to get around Hogwarts? …… I seem to ...... Lost. ”

Obviously, this sudden voice is actually quite out of place. Generally speaking, would anyone choose to run to the window of a stranger's house and ask for directions?

Especially, when the Dursleys were looking angry.

So, when the voice sounded abruptly, the Dursleys and Harry, all six pairs of eyes, stared at the comer in surprise.

It was a dusty-looking woman with well-rounded but slightly mediocre features, wearing a faded printed T-shirt and light blue jeans. The long hair was hastily tied behind his back, but looking at the knotted dreadlocks, it was estimated that he hadn't washed his hair for a while.

Her skin looks very fair, huh...... Or more precisely, pale. That malnourished complexion makes people worry about her health.

Overall, this is a fairly young woman.

"Hogg...... Wads? ”

Of course, Harry's Uncle Vernon didn't know the term - he didn't care much about Harry, but Aunt Penny knew it.

"Oh! Recently, the owl didn't come, but instead came directly, right? Aunt Petunia crossed her hips and teased bitterly.

"No, I don't know her either!" Harry immediately argued.

"I don't believe it." Aunt Penny said immediately.

"I won't believe it either." Uncle Vernon immediately followed the rhythm as well.

"We know you're going to have to do something out of the ordinary again!" Aunt Penny said.

"We all know, do you understand?" Uncle Vernon said.

The husband and wife were rambling one sentence at a time, both with straight faces, and they looked quite unreasonable.

"I said I didn't-" Harry finished halfway through his sentence, and seemed to finally realize that he and the Dursleys couldn't make sense, so he simply swallowed the second half back.

"Oh, that's news to me." Harry's anger came up, and he simply choked on the Dursleys.

Then, without waiting for the Dursleys to call him back, he turned and ran across the grass in front of the door, stepped over the low wall of the garden, and strode out into the street.

"Oh, please come with me! If you want to know how to get to Hogwarts, I know a thing. ”

Harry thought for a moment, then turned back to the woman and added, and then walked straight ahead, regardless of whether they had followed or not.

He's in trouble again, he knows.

Although he was quick for a while, he still had to face his aunt and uncle later, and pay the price for his rude words and deeds just now.

Even if he was treated differently by so many wizards in the wizarding world, in the Muggle world, in the Dursleys, he was still just an ordinary boy under the fence.

But now he can't do that much. He had more pressing things on his mind!

Harry was certain that the explosion had been made by someone's apparition or apparition. He'd seen apparitions and apparitions manifest several times, though it didn't seem like every wizard would make a fuss about it.

"Could it be...... Is that the woman? ”

Yes! Wasn't the woman looking for Hogwarts? Then she must be a witch!

Thinking of this, Harry turned sharply and looked at the privet road behind him, only to see that the woman had really followed. Looking at the way she looked like she was speechless, Harry couldn't help but think she was even more suspicious.

"You...... Why go to Hogwarts? ”

Hogwarts had been enchanted with "unpaintable" secrecy, which he remembered Hermione had mentioned. But in fact, the effect of this secrecy is not very strong, Muggles are absolutely impossible to find, but not necessarily for wizards.

"I'm going...... Find someone. The woman hesitated for a moment before replying.

"Who?" Harry asked.

"He ......," the woman hesitated again, and her mouth rose several times before she could make a sound, "he ...... I've heard people call him Snape...... Professor Snape. ”

"Huh?"

To be honest, Harry had never had any crush on Snape - that guy was always targeting him! God knows why! Is it just because he's a Gryffindor?

But now is not the time to think about that. The point is, what is this woman looking for Snape for? Is it really looking for someone, or is it just an excuse?

"You just said you got lost? But why did you come to my aunt and uncle to ask for directions? ”

It was really strange that this woman suddenly appeared to ask for directions just now. She was just a normal Muggle now, and the Dursleys didn't look like wizards in any way, so why did she just burrow into the flowers and ask for directions?

Maybe it's because of Voldemort's relationship, Harry's nerves have been tense lately, and in this case, he really can't help but think about it.

Harry asked, then turned and walked on. He barely paid attention to the road under his feet, and he was hesitating all the time, even thinking about whether he should dodge to the right if the other party suddenly attacked him...... Or to the left.

But after all, he didn't expect that the woman's answer would be so direct:

“…… I didn't ask your aunt and uncle for directions, I asked you. ”

This made him a little overwhelmed.

Lately, he's been lugging around these streets with heavy steps, and he's walking with his own feet to his favorite places.

But now, his feet stopped.

"To me?" Harry turned back again and asked warily, "You know me?" ”

There are a few people in the wizarding world of Britain who don't know you - Harry has heard this about him a lot, but his hair has grown a little long lately, and the scar on his forehead shouldn't be visible.

Although he knew he was famous, almost everyone had to see his lightning scar to recognize him, and he had never met a Harry Potter person who could be recognized by just looking at his face!

But how did he know that after the publicity of that audio-visual meeting, there were really many wizards who remembered his face. It's just that it's hard for him to get in touch with the wizarding world during the summer vacation, and he's been worrying about the situation in the Muggle world lately, so he hasn't thought about it for a while.

"Knowing ...... Your name is Harry, isn't it? The other man looked at his face cautiously, as if he wanted to confirm again, "I remember yours...... You are a student at Hogwarts. ”

She paused again, then hesitated, "Can you tell me how to get to Hogwarts?" ”

Harry pursed his lips and thought for a moment before he said, "School is on summer vacation right now, and I can't just go back to school...... I guess you can wait until school starts. ”

Anyway, let's delay it for a while! What else could he do but try it?

"Oh."

The woman nodded, but she didn't mean to leave—was there really some intention?

Harry didn't know what to do anymore.

He turned around and continued to walk forward with his teeth on the road, but his whole body was tense, and he looked like his whole body was hard, and his walking posture became a little strange.

Should Hermione notify them? But now that it's an emergency, he doesn't know how to get out, and how to inform them.

Speaking of Hermione, those good friends had only replied to his letter once since the last time they went to the audio-visual meeting, and the content of the letter also made him a little flustered:

"I'm sorry, Harry! We probably couldn't talk too much, and we were told not to reveal anything important, lest our letters be stolen. We're busy right now, there's a lot going on, and we'll tell you the next time we meet. ”

But when exactly will we meet? No one would give a specific date.

It's like Hermione scribbling on his birthday card, "Hope we see you soon!" ”。

But how fast?

Before that, although they often had quarrels, at least Hermione and Ron would not hide from him, and even contact was almost gone.

Harry could tell from the clues revealed in their letter that Hermione and Ron were in the same place, most likely at Ron's parents' house.

He was furious at the thought that the two of them might be in the Burrow, while he was tied up in the Little Whitking district rummaging through the garbage bins.

Because it was so annoying, he threw away the two boxes of chocolates that Hermione and Ron sent from Duke Bee's candy store on his birthday, before he could open them.

But that evening, when he faced the dry salad that his aunt had brought him for dinner, he felt quite regretful.

"As for Maca......" Harry couldn't help but shake his head at the thought of the guy.

Maca is great to all three of them, there's no doubt about it. Although he rarely sends greeting cards or anything, every year on his birthday, he receives a gift that is not missing Maca's.

I believe that if he goes to Maca for help, the other party will not refuse—but it must be able to find him!

Harry couldn't help but feel lonely - of course he had been lonely since he was a child, but when he found good friends at Hogwarts to make good friends with, he felt even more lonely when this happened.

He turned a corner and came to Magnolia Crescent Street.

As he turned the corner, he glanced back quietly - the woman was still following him!

"What the hell is she going to do? Doesn't she have anywhere else to go? Or is it really me who is her target? Harry couldn't help but take a deep breath, the irritability and restlessness in his heart made him want to touch the wand in his pocket a little.

“…… She...... Is it Voldemort's man? Is she a Death Eater? He couldn't help but think so.

Wandering through the deserted streets, he passed a narrow alley by a garage where he seemed to be when he first saw his godfather.

Sirius, will you still be here?
