306. A closed platform

The reason why they want to go to a place with few people is mainly for the Grangers. The wizarding world is still too new to them, and they have just seen a "fierce" wizard battle, and this moment is probably beyond their acceptance, as can be seen by their pale faces at this time.

Even more than them, Hermione's little face was pale. She is a little better than her parents, but she only attended a year of magic school, although there are some various events in the course of this year's study, but on the whole, this year's study life is still very perfect, and she is still full of beautiful fantasies about the wizarding world.

Now the conflict between Duten and Malfoy Sr. is equivalent to letting her see the darker reality of the wizarding world at once, and she certainly can't stand it anymore.

Du Teng took the time to take a look at this small family of three, and saw that they were hugging like little hamsters threatened by hunters, which was really cute.

"Let's go in and have a coffee."

Passing by a coffee shop, Duten sent out an invitation.

The Granger family did not refuse at all, or rather, they did not express their opinion at all, and they followed Duten wherever he went.

The hot coffee was down, and the faces of the family of three looked much better. Duten also ordered a cup of coffee and some desserts, and sat there waiting for the Weasleys to arrive.

About ten minutes later, the familiar red hair appeared in sight, and Du Teng slowly stood up.

The Granger family also stood up and watched as the Weasleys walked into the coffee shop.

"I'm really sorry just now, that guy is very discriminatory against Muggles, oh, ordinary people, but I think ordinary people are very great, so we have had conflicts from a long time ago. I was really dazed just now, but when something like that happened, I'm so sorry to scare you. ”

Mr. Weasley said apologetically.

Mr. Granger, Hermione's father, wasn't a vexatious man either. He saw the situation very clearly at that time, and as any man with some blood, he would not allow others to insult his family like this.

Although he was indeed frightened, he had a very good sense of Mr. Weasley. He smiled mildly at Mr. Weasley's apology.

"It doesn't have to be that way, you did it right, you don't have to apologize. Also, Du ...... Oh oh, Du Teng-san, although your choice is a bit reckless, there is no obvious mistake, I am not a wizard, I am not very clear about the rules between you wizards, but in my opinion, as a man, you should do the right thing at the right time. The wizard of that big family did speak excessively, so although your behavior was a bit reckless, I still don't think there is anything wrong with it.

You and Hermione are classmates, and we can't help her academically, so I want you to help me keep an eye on her. I don't have any other luxuries, I just hope that she won't be bullied. ”

Granger's father said with a smile, and finally reached out and touched the top of Hermione's head.

Hermione glared at her father with an angry look on her face, as if she couldn't take care of herself.

"Uncle Granger, don't worry, Hermione, Harry, and Ron are in the same academy, and they have enough protection within the academy. Away from Gryffindor, I can protect Hermione and make sure no one else bullies her. ”

Duten patted his chest and reassured.

Before the others could say anything, he suddenly said something like this, which attracted everyone's attention at once. Everyone looked at Du Teng and then at Hermione, Hermione's little face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at the eyes of the people around her.

The Granger couple laughed happily, no matter what the "purpose" of Duten's words just now, they are enlightened parents and will not interfere in their daughter's private life, as long as Hermione is happy, it is enough.

So, a storm passed like this, and everyone continued to buy some things in Diagon Alley, and then left Diagon Alley one after another.

……

For the next few days, Duten did not go to the Weasleys' Burrow, and after greeting the Weasleys, he left the Burrow alone and came to London, found a big hotel, and rented a decent room. In the period leading up to the start of school, he put all his mind into the diary in his hand.

Tom Riddle's diary, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, is sealed with a wisp of his eighteen-year-old soul, in the original book, he relied on this wisp of remnant soul, and almost lived back in the world by depriving Ginny of his life, this time, Du Teng pocketed the horcrux in advance, looking at the notebook with a black cover in front of him, it looked very ordinary, but Du Teng only needed to perceive it a little, and he could sense a very powerful black magic aura from above.

If you look at it with the writing wheel, there is also a powerful magic power circulating on this diary, but these magic powers are very well hidden, if he hadn't known it for a long time, even he might not be able to feel the extraordinaryness of this diary.

"It smells so bad...... And it tastes the same as your ring, is it the same person's handwriting? I've always felt that this thing is very evil, it can't have something to do with the soul, and only the dark magic related to the soul can stink so much. ”

The Sphinx jumped onto Du Teng's shoulder, also looked at the diary in front of him, and asked with a meow.

"That's right, both of these are Horcruxes, and they are props used by powerful wizards to resurrect."

"Horcruxes? That's right, I've heard it, it turns out that this is a Horcrux, and it's really super evil. So who is this person? It's amazing to be able to make two Horcruxes. ”

Sphinx said in admiration.

"Hehe, can't you guess his identity? The most 'terrifying' dark wizard in the world. ”

"Voldemort?"

The sphinx glanced at Du Teng, and his blue and green pupils made people feel a little hairy.

"That's right, it's him, and you're wrong, he didn't just make two Horcruxes, as far as I know, he made a total of seven, that is, he can be resurrected seven times."

"Seven?"

The sphinx screamed, and the cat's face showed a shocked look very humanely.

When he looked down at the diary again, the Sphinx's expression became very serious.

"So, what are you going to do with them? Don't tell me you're going to learn the spells, Horcruxes are very evil items, and soul-splitting spells are one of the most evil spells, once you learn and use this spell, you will no longer be like you, you will become a different person! ”

The Sphinx's voice grew stern.

"Haha, of course I do."

Duten touched the back of the sphinx.

As an "old pet" who has experienced decades of changes in the wizarding world, its insight is not weaker than that of ordinary wizards, on the contrary, it may be stronger. Duten knew this when he first saw it, so he listened to the Sphinx's persuasion.

Of course, he won't learn this kind of spell, he already has the power to split souls, and this kind of spell to create Horcruxes is too low-end for him.

He won't learn, but he can take advantage of it.

"Don't worry, of course I want this thing to be useful, as for how I will use it, you can just look at it."

……

For Harry, the holiday season went by too quickly. Although he longed for life at Hogwarts, the month of his time at the Burrow was the happiest day of his life. But thinking about the Dursleys and the next time he showed up on Privet Road, he couldn't help but be jealous of Ron.

On the night of departure, Mrs. Weasley prepared a sumptuous dinner full of Harry's favorite dishes, ending with an appetizing honey pudding. Fred and George's laborious fireworks display made the evening even more colorful. Countless red and blue stars collided and bounced on the kitchen wall and ceiling for at least half an hour. After they had their heart's content, they each finished a large cup of hot chocolate and went to bed.

It took a lot of time before leaving the next morning. As soon as the alarm clock sounds, they get up. But they seem to have a lot of things to do. Mrs. Weasley was busy looking for spare socks and quilts, and was in an irritable mood. Mr. Weasley was walking through the garden to help Ginny carry his luggage into the car when he tripped over a lost chick and nearly broke his neck. The rest were sleepy-eyed and undressed.

Harry couldn't figure out how eight people, six large suitcases, two owls, and a mouse could fit into that little Ford Anglia. He didn't expect it, and it's no wonder that Mr. Weasley's car had been spelled.

"Don't say it to Molly," he whispered to Harry. He opened the base of the car and showed Harry that it had been enlarged by magic, and the trunk could fit into it easily.

Finally, when they were all in the car, Mrs. Weasley looked back and saw Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Percy sitting comfortably side by side. She couldn't help but say, "Muggles are indeed much smarter than we think, aren't they?" She and Ginny sat in the front seat, which had been magically turned like a park bench, "I mean, from the outside, you can't guess there's so much space in there, do you?" ”

Mr. Weasley started his engine and slowly drove out of the hospital. Harry turned his head and took one last look at the house. As he wondered when he would see the house again, the car turned around and went back into the yard. George forgot to pull out the fireworks with his effort. Five minutes later, they braked back to the yard so that Fred could run back to get his broomstick. Almost as she reached the highway, Ginny suddenly screamed again, it turned out that she had forgotten to pick up a book. By the time she climbed back into the car, it was already very late, and everyone's anger was already very high.

Mr. Weasley looked at his watch and turned to his wife.

"Dear Mollyβ€”"

"No, Arthur."

"No one will see it. This little button makes the car invisible – so we can fly – and fly over the clouds. We can get there in just ten minutes, and no one will notice it......"

"I said, no, Arthur, not in broad daylight."

So, they arrived at the station at 10:49. Weasley rushed across the street to get a cart to carry all the luggage, and everyone hurried to the platform.

Duten had been waiting here for a long time, and he looked at the Weasleys with a smile, with Hermione standing beside him.

"Why don't you go in? Oh, you guys, you've been in there! ”

Ron asked, a little embarrassed.

"Of course, we saw that you were not there, so we came out to wait."

Hermione said with a puffed face, and many of them looked embarrassed.

"Alright, don't say any more, let's let them in quickly."

Du Teng clapped his hands, diverted the subject, and reached out to help the Weasleys move their things. He and Hermione had already put their luggage in the car, and now they were out empty-handed, just to help.

Duten lifted two large boxes, and Hermione pushed a trolley.

Then they were the first to cross the platform.

Then there's Patsy, who strides briskly forward, through the walls of magic, to the Hogwarts Express platform. Mr. Weasley came next, followed by George and Fred.

"Ginny and I go first, and then you follow," said Mrs. Weasley to Harry and Ron, and she dragged Ginny by the hand and walked away in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go together, there's a minute left." Ron said to Harry.

Harry checked that Hedwig's cage was safely tucked into the gap in the luggage compartment, and then propped the trolley against the fence. He is confident that this trip will not be as embarrassed as the last time he used Floo powder. The two of them bent over the handrail of the cart and accelerated towards the fence.

When they were a few feet away, they ranβ€”

But......

Boom!

Both carts hit the fence and then bounced back.

Ron slammed down. Harry was knocked to the ground, and Hedwig's cage was bounced to the shiny floor, and she let out a cry of rage as the cage was turned. Everyone around them stared at them. One of the security guards yelled at them, "What the hell are you doing? ”

"We can't pull this little car all of a sudden." Harry gasped. He clutched his ribs and barely stood up. Ron ran over to pick up Hedwig, which had already caused a stir, with onlookers whispering in denouncing the cruelty to animals.

"Oops."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a worried look in each other's eyes.

On this side of the platform, the Weasleys' faces also changed, Harry and Ron didn't even make it here, and there was still time, but the magic wall was actually closed!

Asked the staff, the staff did not know. Duten tried to open the teleportation wall with a spell, but could only shrug his shoulders.

The structure of this magic wall is a bit special, and if he is given some time, he will not be unable to crack it, but there is less than half a minute left, and everything is too late. (To be continued.) )
