After Dumbledore found Horace and managed to convince him to become Hogwarts Potions professor, he took Harry to the Burrow, where the Weasleys lived.

Harry was going to spend the summer at the end of the summer, with Ron and them until school started.

Mrs. Weasley was kind enough to welcome Harry, but Dumbledore left the same day, and Harry found that the atmosphere in the Burrow was beginning to vacate, and Ron was the only man left inside.

"Why is it only you? What about you? What about George and Fred. ”

George and Fred, who were planning to intern at Diagon Alley for a while, had come up with a good idea to start a shop on their own when they graduated this year.

(This place George and Fred are wrong about their age, and I wrote a year less.) )

"And what about Ginny?" Harry asked.

"She's at Mephisto House, and it's not just Ginny, it's Hermione." Ron was bored, and they both received an invitation from Asin Sha to go to Mephisto Estate, where Harry and Ron were clearly not in the girls' circle of friends.

"Ugh......" Harry sighed inexplicably, and in fact Ron didn't quite know what Harry was lamenting.

While Harry was happy to live in the Burrow, at least a thousand times better than staying at Dursley, and now that the good life was over, George and Fred had already arrived at Hogwarts the year before the start of the school year, intending to sell some of the goodies they had been tinkering with from Diagon Alley.

Harry and Ron had planned to go to George and Fred when they were shopping in Diagon Alley, but they had already left early, much to Harry and Ron's disappointment.

"You have to be cautious when you go to school, it's not the same time it used to be."

Mrs. Weasley gave them a thousand instructions as she took them to the station.

Arthur Weasley said next to him, "Hogwarts is definitely the safest place in the wizarding world, instead of worrying about children, we should think more about ourselves, at least there are Dumbledore and Sherlock at Hogwarts." ”

Harry smiled wryly, if only he could be like Sherlock and give others a sense of security wherever he goes.

Harry and Ron had packed their bags on the train, and this year's King's Cross station was a bit calm, and Harry always felt that there were fewer students going to Hogwarts, but fortunately he knew everyone here.

Neville came over and sat down with them.

Ginny and Hermione and Asin weren't here, so maybe Sherlock would take them with her when she went to school.

"Get out of the way!"

"Go away!"

Goyle slammed the door open and squeezed into the middle of a group of second-graders, punching and kicking them aside.

Crabbe and Shabini followed.

He was followed by Draco and Pansy, five Slytherin houses.

In a rare occurrence, they would come through the very end of the carriage, which meant that they would have to walk a long aisle to get to the box frequented by the Slytherin snakes.

Draco saw Harry and Ron, even if they were both members of the Dark Wizard Army, which made Draco have an unspeakable dislike for Harry, and the Malfoys especially hated the boy who didn't die.

"You deserve it! Harry, you may not know that Lucius Malfoy has been accused of being a Death Eater. ”

Ron said to Harry suddenly.

This made Harry's mood start to liven up, and even a little excited, if Lucius was accused of being a Death Eater, he would either be imprisoned in Azkaban now, or he would be wanted, but it would definitely not be easy for the Malfoy family.

"So is Lucius imprisoned in Azkaban now? Still wanted. ”

Ron shook his head, "But it's disappointing that the Malfoy family has nothing to do with it, to be precise, the Mephisto family has suppressed Lucius's identity as a Death Eater, after all, Mephisto has a very high position of power in the Ministry of Magic, as long as Fumond is unwilling, no one can punish Lucius, and you think Lucius is still Sherlock's godfather." ”

Ron lowered his voice, "The most important thing is...... Sherlock testified to Lucius, saying that Lucius was controlled by Voldemort after the Imperius Curse, and the Malfoy family has not been punished so far, Lucius is still mixing well, but he has held himself in the family, and it is estimated that he will not come out again unless Voldemort's turmoil has passed. ”

"What!" Harry shouted, and the entire carriage looked at Harry.

Draco, who had been walking in front, looked back at Harry, but neither Harry nor Ron noticed.

Harry lowered his voice again, "How can Sherlock do this, Lucius is a Death Eater, and when I was in the Department of Mysteries, Lucius's style didn't look like a controlled person at all. ”

"It's more like working for Voldemort."

Harry didn't notice that Draco was getting close to Harry.

"And what about you, as the prophesied immortal boy and the legendary savior, what can you do, I wonder if it was really you when you dealt with the mysterious man in the first place, or did your parents do it, you just sat there crying...... No, if it's a child, you're supposed to be lying in bed. ”

"Are you complacent because your father didn't die?" Harry was talking about Lucius escaping the Death Eaters' charges.

But this annoyed Draco, who thought he was taking advantage of him.

The boy who didn't die even said that his father was also immortal and couldn't use magic outside the school, so Draco had to do it himself, and he and Harry scuffled together, and this was the third time Harry and Draco had done it during their time at Hogwarts.

The first was a midnight duel, the second was at Hogsmeade, and the third was on the train to Hogwarts.

I guess next time it will be in Dumbledore's Headmaster's office.

"Stop!"

The snack salesman on the train suddenly shouted, and Harry and Draco stopped at the same time, although they didn't understand why they were so obedient, but the salesman's shouting just now made the two boys feel terrified in their hearts.

"This train has been running for nearly three hundred years, and you are still the first wave to come and fight, James Potter, Lupin, and Blake didn't dare to make such a fuss at the beginning, they tried to escape halfway and I caught them back."

The saleswoman held out her hand, but Harry felt it as sharp as a weapon.

"So be honest." The saleswoman silenced them, and Draco swallowed and watched Harry leave with the others.

Ron and Neville pulled Harry to his seat, and Draco returned to the Slytherin box to see Kirk and Dandney waiting there.

"Master Sherlock isn't here, don't get into trouble at this juncture!" Dandeni saw that Draco was reprimanded as soon as he came up.

"Why don't you ask what happened?" Kirk said.

"Harry Potter's identity is very sensitive now, and he just received a message from Mr. Sherlock, asking us to watch him and not have other accidents, it seems that there is a special connection between him and the Dark Lord." Femia said.

They will graduate this year, to be honest, this year's Slytherin students are the most brilliant class, Sherlock's appearance directly raised the level of Slytherin, but Sherlock will graduate this year, and so are Lubo, Kirk, Dandney and others.

It always felt like Slytherin House wouldn't be able to hold up once they graduated and left.

Draco said yes, but still sat in his seat indignantly, planning how to teach Harry a lesson when there was no one around the school.

The Malfoy family can be said to have been abandoned by the Dark Lord, but it was only abandoned, and the Dark Lord did not send a group of Death Eaters to avenge Lucius's exposure, in fact, Lucius's exposure was really helpless.

He's lucky not to be on a wanted warrant.

However, Draco's feelings for the Dark Lord have dropped to the extreme, and even a disgusting component, after all, when a family is useless, it is so casually abandoned, and Draco does not see any leadership in the Dark Lord.

Or is it because of the entry of the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, which made Voldemort's confidence inflated?

Draco's mind was messing around, he didn't feel it when the train was moving, until someone tapped him on the shoulder next to him.

It was the saleswoman just now, she looked at Draco coldly and said, "Harry Potter bought a lot of things from me just now, why don't you just come and order the same?" ”

Draco swallowed, feeling that the other party was buying and selling, but looking at the dazzling carts that seemed to be missing too much, Draco said in a deep voice, "Then give me the same as Potter." ”

The saleswoman was amused, then poured a cartload full of things onto Draco's table.

"Seven gold Galleons, thank you, Master Draco."

"That's enough stuff for me for a semester, are you sure that nasty Harry Potter guy bought that much?" Draco's jaw was dropping, and he felt like the old woman in front of him was cheating him.

He returned unbelieving and saw Harry, Neville, and Ron in the distance with a mountain of snacks on their tables, and finally came back in chagrin and honestly paid seven gold Galleons.

"I don't have to sell it today, I can rest early." The saleswoman was quite happy.

"Hell, I only have ten gold galleons in pocket money a semester." Draco had only three of his pocket money left.

He's not lying, he doesn't have that much money in the school, except for a trip to Hogsmeade, where a gold Galleon can buy a lot of things.

"You don't eat? I can't eat it all by myself. Draco said.

The Slytherin snakes shook their heads in unison, "Just don't sell it to us." ”

Draco "......"

After a two-month summer vacation, they finally returned to Hogwarts.

The greatest consolation was that during the summer vacation, no one of the classmates he knew was missing, and all of them came back safely, to which Professor Flitwick took the list and carefully counted it several times.

At dinner time, the Sorting Hat diligently re-branched the new students.

Mia from Slytherin House looks worried, but she still eats with the snakes, albeit a little less.

Sherlock sat quietly in his seat, bringing a cold and senior demeanor to the freshmen.

Now the two bigwigs of the wizarding world representing the righteous side are in the hall of this dinner, and the old man is speaking loudly on the stage, and finally the professor's seat is about to change.

The former Head of Slytherin House after Professor Horace, he returned to Hogwarts as Professor of Potions.

The Slytherin snakes applauded in welcome, as the Slytherin snakes had seen a portrait of Horace in the Slytherin common room.

Snape clapped softly, Horace had taught Snape when he was in school, after all, Snape and Lily Potter were on the same level, but unfortunately Snape quit before he graduated.

To Snape's chagrin, he had never been to Horace's Slug Club when he was a student.

"Professor Snape, meanwhile, will be the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts." Dumbledore applauded.

The little snakes of Slytherin House burst into reluctant applause as Snape was staring at them, and the applause from the other three houses was scattered, and Snape had to be affirmed in Slytherin's applause, even if it was coercive.

Harry had been prepared in his heart.

But for Ron and Neville, it was nothing short of thunder.

"I should have told you earlier." Harry said as he looked at Ron.

"You already knew?"

"Yes, I was there when Professor Dumbledore went to ask for Professor Horace."

"I should thank you for not telling me, otherwise if I knew the news, I wouldn't have thought about having a good time this summer." Ron breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know it anyway and couldn't stop Snape from becoming a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

After dinner, Sherlock plans to return to his dorm.

"It's still early, are you in a hurry to go back to bed?" Femiaia stopped Sherlock from behind.

"Going to bed early and getting up early is good for your body, don't stay up late and hurt your body." Sherlock said.

"Sounds perfunctory, but after all, there are a lot of new students in Slytherin today, and they must want to meet you, you don't want all first-year freshmen to run into your single dormitory, right?" Femiaya emphasized.

The Slytherin common room was already crowded, and Sarina recounted her experience in the Secret Room in her first year in front of the freshmen.

Of course, the main hero is Sherlock, and it is always exciting to hear stories about Sherlock when new students enter the school.

"I think you all should know that near the end of last semester, in that great battle at the Ministry of Magic, the Prince of Spells faced off against the most evil of all, the Dark Lord."

Lu Bo suddenly snorted.

It immediately attracted the interest of the freshmen, as well as the Slytherin members who were not the Dark Wizards, and since they had not experienced it firsthand, it was hard to imagine how exciting the battle was.
