Chapter One Thousand and Seventy-Nine
......
In some ways, the next day on the Hogwarts Express return trip was full of things.
First, Malfoy, Kra, and Goyle, after a week of waiting, find that there is finally no teacher around, and they ambush Harry halfway back from the toilet to the carriage and try to attack him.
The ambush would have been successful, if it was carried out outside the compartments of the members. The men inside saw what was happening through the glass and rushed out to Harry's aid.
In Ernie. McLean, Hannah. Abbott, Susan. Bones, Justin Finch, Fletsch, Anthony. Goldsden and Terry. After Boot used Harry's various magic spells on them, Malfoy, Crabber, and Goyle huddled in their Hogwarts uniforms like three giant slugs, and Harry, Ernie, and Justin threw them into the luggage rack, where they collapsed.
"I must say, how I wish I had seen Malfoy's mom see the look on his face when she got out of the car!" said Ernie with great satisfaction as he watched Malfoy squirm above his head.
He could not forgive Malfoy for insultingly deducting points from Hufflepuff while serving as an investigator.
"Goyle's mom will be happy. Ron said he ran out to see what was going on.
"He looks prettier. Harry, the cart is here, do you want it?"
Harry thanked the others and returned to the carriage with Ron. He bought a large piece of cake and several pieces of pumpkin pie. Hermione was reading the Daily Prophet, and Van Lin was fiddling with his new alchemy product.
In fact, Harry had a hard time seeing what it was for, the moving metal man was a little small, supposedly needed by Fred and George. Ginny is on the Singing Contradiction, and Neville is stroking his cactus, which grows fast and makes strange humming noises when touched.
Harry and Ron spent most of their journey playing magic chess, while Hermione read out parts of the Daily Prophet. It was full of articles about how to fight off the Dementors, that the Ministry of Magic was hunting down Death Eaters, and that he was excited to claim to have seen Voldemort pass by the house one morning.
"It's not really started yet," Hermione sighed in frustration and folded the newspaper again, "but it's not far off." ”
"Actually, that guy should be glad Voldemort didn't see him, but he's more likely talking nonsense......" Van Lin pursed his lips, and Voldemort didn't have time to pass by someone's door.
"I don't understand how they could be so excited, it's ...... for them to stump Voldemort's return" Hermione's opinion was interrupted by Ron before she could fully express her opinion.
"Hey, Harry," Ron whispered, tilting his head down the hallway outside. Harry looked outside, where Akihari was walking by, along with Marita, who was wearing a balaclava. His gaze met Qiu Zhang, her face flushed, and she continued to walk forward. Harry looked back at the chessboard and saw that Ron's knight had eaten one of his pawns.
"Y-how are you and her doing?" Ron asked softly.
"Nothing," Harry said matter-of-factly.
"I-uh-I heard she's going out with someone else now," Hermione said tentatively. Harry was surprised to find that the news had no effect on him. Dating Qiu Zhang seems to be a thing of the past, and it has nothing to do with him now. It's like Autumn is leaving his world, because what he's going through isn't suitable for anyone to come and intervene, between him and Autumn......
"If you don't mind," Ron emphasized, "I mean, she's beautiful, but beyond that, it should be nice to be around." ”
"She should have a great time with others. Harry shrugged.
"Who is she with now?" Ron asked Hermione, but it was Ginny who answered.
"Michael. Connor. ”
"Michael—but—" Ron turned his chair and glared at her, "but didn't you go out with him all the time?"
"Don't go out anymore. Ginny said firmly. "He was very angry when he saw Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw in a Quidditch match, so I broke up with him and he ran to please Akihari. Ginny absentmindedly scratched her nose with her little finger and went back to "Singing Against the Tune" to calculate the score. This made Ron look very happy.
"I always thought he was a bit silly. He charged his queen towards Harry's rickety castle. "It's good for you, next time you can pick a better one. ”
As he said this, he glanced at Harry with a strange look in his eyes.
Van Lin and Hermione did the same, focusing on Harry, but the latter did not react, and Ginny was the first to answer Ron.
"Well, I've picked Dean. Thomas, do you think he's better?" Ginny said vaguely.
"What?" exclaimed Ron, knocking over the chessboard carelessly. Crookshank Hill jumped up and down in the falling objects, and Hedwig and Piggy screamed discontentedly overhead.
"Dean ......," Ginny paused, "I think he's pretty good." ”
"That kid ......" Ron blushed, as if he wanted to show it as his brother's majesty, but Ginny didn't buy it.
The train slowed down as it approached King's Cross Station. Harry felt like he had never been more reluctant to leave it. He even had the thought that something would happen that would give him a reason to refuse to get off the train, and he sat in the carriage until the start of Hogwarts on September 1, and then took the train back.
But when Van Lin patted him on the shoulder, he finally gave up on the idea, stood up, and prepared to get out of the car with Hedwig's cage and his suitcase as before.
When the ticket inspector told them that it was now safe to walk through the fence to platform nine and three-quarters, Harry found a surprise waiting for him there, greeted by a group of people he hadn't even expected.
There's Moody "MONOCULUS", who wears a bowler hat to cover his MONOCULUS - this is what he looks very evil, with a long wooden staff in his hand and a long, large travel cloak. Tonks stood behind him, her bubblegum-like pink hair glistening in the sunlight shining through the dark glass of the station roof. She wore a pair of patched jeans and a bright purple T-shirt with "Weird Sisters" written on it. Next to her was Luping, who was pale and gray-haired, with a long worn coat over her old blouse and old trousers.
In front of them stood Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, dressed in their best Muggle clothes. Fred and George both wore new jackets in a bad texture, miserable green.
"Ron, Ginny!" shouted Mrs. Weasley, running quickly and hugging her two children tightly, "Oh, and you, dear Harry—are you alright?"
"Good," Harry lied, and Mrs. Weasley hugged him tightly, over her shoulder, and he saw Ron staring at the twins' new clothes, dumbfounded.
"What is this made of?" he asked, pointing to their clothes. "Best dragon skin, my little brother," Fred said, zipping his up, "our business is booming, so it's time to treat yourself." ”
"Hey, Fred, George!"
"Hey, bro!" Fred gave Van Lin a big hug, "I'm sorry you weren't at Hogwarts when we left, otherwise I think our departure would have been a sensation, yes, that thing ......"
"Here!" Van Lin said, pulling out the metal he had been fiddling with on the train, "It's fine to zoom in, but are you sure you want to use this thing as a guide?"
"That's cool!" said George, picking up the metal figure, "How?"
"This thing doesn't consume much, you can absorb it naturally, but you need to record the sound yourself, but this means is not difficult for you, I don't have that much time at Hogwarts......"
Compared to the discussion on Van Lin's side, Harry's side seemed much warmer.
"Hello, Harry," Lupin said, by which time Mrs. Weasley had let go of Harry and turned to hug Hermione.
"Hello," said Harry, "I didn't expect that. What are you all doing here? Sirius?"
"Oh," said Lupin with a smile, "Sirius is a little busy, to be exact, the hapless fellow had broken his leg by Bellatrix, and it was not convenient to leave now, and Kreacher was taking care of, by the way, entertaining guests at the headquarters." ”
"Oh, well, I can go......" Harry was about to say go and see Sirius, then swallowed back the words.
"Come ......"
"We want to talk to your aunt and uncle before they take you home. ”
"I don't think it's a good note. Harry said immediately.
"Well, I think so. Moody grumbled, leaning closer and asking, "Is that them, Potter?" and he pointed back with his thumb, his MONOCULUS clearly peeking through the back of his head and top hat.
Harry shifted to the left, looking where Moody was pointing. Yes, it was the Desleys, watching Harry's welcome party in fear.
"Ah, Harry," exclaimed Mr. Weasley, who had just greeted Hermione's parents warmly, who were now hugging Hermione and Van Lin, in an embarrassment that Mr. and Mrs. Granger had never imagined, even for Mr. Al......
Well, the object of tension should change somewhat.
"So, shouldn't we do that?"
"That's right, Arthur. Moody's said. The two of them were the first to walk towards the Dursleys, who were visibly stunned. Hermione also ran from her mother.
"Good afternoon," said Mr. Weasley, standing in front of Uncle Vernon's right and cheerfully, "you must remember me, my name is Arthur Weasley." ”
Mr. Weasley had destroyed the Desleys' living room two years earlier, and it was surprising that Harry thought Uncle Vernon would forget him.
Sure enough, Uncle Vernon's face turned dark brown, and he glared angrily at Mr. Weasley, but didn't say a word, perhaps because there were more people on the other side than the Desleys. Aunt Petunia looked frightened, and she kept looking around, worried about being discovered. Dalí, on the other hand, seems to think that he is too small to be ignored, which, of course, is simply impossible.
"We'd like to talk to you about Harry. Mr. Weasley said with a smile still on his face.
"Yes," Mordi growled, "about Harry's treatment in your house. ”
Uncle Vernon's mustache seemed to be full of anger, and perhaps the bowler hat gave him the feeling that Moody was a good guy to deal with, and he yelled at him, "I don't know what happened in my family that had anything to do with you—"
"I think you could write a book full of things you don't know, Desley. Moody yelled.
"That's not the point," Tonks interjected, and it seemed that her pink hair made her more unpleasant to Aunt Penny than anyone else, who closed her eyes and didn't look at her. "The point is, if we find out you're abusing Harry—"
"Please don't make such a mistake, we'll know. Lupin said pleasantly.
"Yes," said Mr. Weasley, "if you don't allow Harry to use the 'phone'......"
"Telephone. Hermione whispered.
"Yes, if we get any clues that you are treating Harry unfairly, you will have to explain. Moody's said.
Uncle Vernon was almost angry, his chest heaving violently, and his anger seemed far greater than the fright he had received from these eccentrics.
"Are you threatening me, sir?!" he shouted, causing passers-by to turn their heads to look at him.
"Yes, I am," MONOCULUS replied unceremoniously, looking pleased that Uncle Vernon had grasped it quickly.
"And I look like a man who can be coerced?" snarled Uncle Vernon.
"So," Moody said, removing his bowler hat, revealing that terrible, spinning MAGIC EYE. Uncle Vernon jumped in horror and crashed into a luggage trolley. "I have to say you're one of those guys, Desley. ”
He turned his head to look at Harry. "Potter, call us if you need it. If we don't hear from you for three days in a row, we'll send someone. ”
Aunt Penny whimpered pitifully. Apparently she was wondering what her neighbors would say if they saw such a group of people walking down the path of his garden.
"Goodbye, then, Potter. Moody said, grabbing Harry's shoulder with a rough hand.
"Be careful, Harry," Lupin said calmly, "stay in touch. ”
"Harry, we'll get you out of there as soon as we can," Mrs. Weasley whispered, hugging him again. "We'll see you shortly. Ron said eagerly, shaking Harry's hand.
"It must be soon, Harry," Hermione said sincerely, "we promise." ”
"Remember to contact me, count the days, and trust me, it's not going to be slow. Vanlin winked at Harry.
Harry nodded. He couldn't express to them how he felt when he saw them all standing beside him. He smiled, waved goodbye, and then turned and walked out of the station, out onto the sun-drenched street, with Uncle Vernon, Aunt Penny, and Dudley following him.
"The Dursleys are going to learn to be smart, right?" said Hermione, worried.
"I think so. Van Lin nodded, he knew the temperament of the Dursleys, "But before that, we should ...... first"
"Mom said to send us back. Hermione whispered, "Mr. Al, please for them, he really can't leave the company......"
"Uh...... Okay, let's go to your house first, and then we'll go to Sirius......."
