"Oh, Neville, you're back......" Van Lin glanced up at Neville, who was following Neville, well, it was Ginny, then...... &1t;/p>

"Where's Harry?"&1t;/p>

"I don't know," Neville replied, a little dazed, "he said something, and then went out with his cloak of invisibility. ”&1t;/p>

"What did he do?" Ron asked, puzzled, "and with the Cloak of Invisibility, what did he take that thing to eat?"&1t;/p>

Dumbledore told him not to take the cloak of invisibility off his body. "It's necessary, after all, Harry is the main target. ”&1t;/p>

"Oh, that's true, but ......" Hermione frowned, "but we should go, shouldn't we>?"

"Oh, okay. Van Lin thought for a moment, and sure enough, with Harry's character, it was simply impossible for him to let Malfoy go so easily, and there was no doubt that Harry was definitely going to trouble Malfoy. &1t;/p>

"You guys go to school first, Hermione, I'll go find Harry, and then we'll both go back together, don't worry......"&1t;/p>

...... &1t;/p>

Harry was like a stiff corpse, his body unable to move. &1t;/p>

Harry lay quietly under his invisibility cloak, feeling his blood flowing from his nose, his face hot and wet, and hearing voices and footsteps coming in from the hallway. &1t;/p>

This gave Harry a glimmer of hope. &1t;/p>

Maybe someone will check the carriage before the train resumes?&1t;/p>

But he immediately realized, to his dismay, that even if someone looked into the carriage, they would not see or hear him. His best hope was that someone would walk in and step on him. &1t;/p>

But very badly, Malfoy seemed to have taken the situation into account, and he put his body in the middle of the seat. &1t;/p>

It was as if fate had played a joke on him, but unfortunately, Harry couldn't laugh at all right now. &1t;/p>

Harry had never hated Malfoy so much as he did today, he was lying on all fours like a ridiculous turtle, mouth open for disgusting blood to flow in. What a stupid situation he put himself in...... The last few footsteps were now gone, everyone shuffling across the pitch-black platform outside, and Harry could even hear the clattering of boxes and the cacophony of talking. &1t;/p>

Van Lin, Hermione, and Ron might have thought he had gotten off the train alone. It was only when they had reached Hogwarts, sat down in the Great Hall, and searched the Gryffindor House table a few times that they realized that he was not there, and that he was no doubt halfway back to London. &1t;/p>

As for Neville, Neville and Ginny...... &1t;/p>

Well, while they had a good relationship, they didn't always get together, and besides, it was better to count on Neville to save himself than to expect Malfoy's spell to fail, or...... &1t;/p>

Harry tried to make a sound, even if it was just a snort, but it was impossible. &1t;/p>

Then he remembered that some wizards, such as Verlin or Dumbledore, could cast spells without opening their mouths, advanced silent spell techniques, in fact, Van Lin had taught him this, but it worked ...... &1t;/p>

It should have worked okay, so Harry began to chant over and over again in his mind that the wand was flying, trying to summon the wand that had been removed, but nothing came of it. &1t;/p>

Malfoy's petrification spell seemed to freeze his brain, which made his thinking a little dull, for the first time in his life, Harry hated himself for not practicing the spell hard enough, if it was Van Lin here, such a moment of effort, it is estimated that he would have been unraveled, or that he had mastered the illusion shift, and he would be able to avoid it in the case of conditioned reflex. &1t;/p>

Malfoy's spell wasn't fast, so to speak, not as powerful as expected, but in terms of results, it was clear that it worked. &1t;/p>

He thought he could hear the rustle of the trees by the lake and the distant chirping of owls, but there was no sign that anyone was searching for him, or that someone was panicking and asking where Harry Potter had gone. He imagined in his mind that Thestrals' carriage was pulling the students towards school, and that Malfoy's carriage must be bursting with mouth-covering laughter, and that he must be telling his fellow Slytherins how he had attacked Harry, and a feeling of despair spilled over his body. &1t;/p>

The train shook suddenly, and Harry rolled over. What he saw now changed from the roof to the dusty underside of the seat. The locomotive began to roar again, and the floor began to vibrate. The express train was about to depart, and no one knew he was still on it...... &1t;/p>

"Harry, where are you?" a familiar voice came, which made Harry ecstatic, and he tried to make some noise, but unfortunately, it didn't work. &1t;/p>

"Ah, I knew it. Harry felt his foot kicked, and then he felt the invisibility cloak be lifted, and a voice sounded overhead, "Oh my God, Harry, I knew you were here." ”&1t;/p>

A flash of red light made Harry's body move, he was finally able to change himself to a more dignified sitting position, he quickly wiped the blood with the back of his hand, and looked up at Van Lin, who was holding the invisibility cloak that had just been ripped off Harry's body. &1t;/p>

"How do you ......"&1t;/p>

"Bang!" and then another figure appeared in the carriage, Harry hadn't been seen yet, but in the blink of an eye. &1t;/p>

"Hey, Van Lin, don't be nervous, it's me, Tonks. Removing the black cloak, Tonks' terrible color was almost unrecognizable to Van Lin. &1t;/p>

"Tonks, why are you here?" Van Lin was a little surprised, but on second thought, it seemed to be a reasonable thing to do. &1t;/p>

"The Order of the Phoenix is protecting Harry. Tonks said, "There's no time!"&1t;/p>

"We have to get out of here, quickly," Mr. Tonks said, the windows had been blurred with moisture, and the train had begun to leave the station. &1t;/p>

"Hurry up, we've got to jump. Van Lin and Harry hurried after her into the hallway. Tonks opened the door and jumped onto the platform, which looked a little slippery as the train had already started. Harry jumped down as well, and just before he could stagger to his feet, he saw the steaming red locomotive speed up and turn around and disappear. &1t;/p>

The cold night breeze soothed the pain in Harry's nose, and Tonks looked at Harry, who felt angry and embarrassed because he was so ridiculously in his current position. &1t;/p>

As soon as Van Lin reached out, he returned the Invisibility Cloak to Harry. &1t;/p>

"It seems," Van Lin leisurely looked at the swaying carriage in the distance, and a newborn Yeqi was gradually moving away from them. &1t;/p>

"We missed the last carriage. Fan Lin said helplessly, "It seems that we have to find a way to go back by ourselves." ”&1t;/p>

"We can talk to first-graders...... Oh well, we can walk back. Harry thought about how embarrassed he was now, and instead of taking a boat back with his first-year students, Harry would rather walk. &1t;/p>

"Who did that?"&1t;/p>

"Draco Malfoy," Harry said in disgust. "Thank you for coming...... Hmm......"&1t;/p>

"It's alright," Tonks didn't smile. &1t;/p>

Harry saw in the darkness that she was still the same as she had last time at the Burrow, her head grey-brown and her expression miserable. &1t;/p>

"If you stand still, I can fix your nose. ”&1t;/p>

Harry didn't approve of the idea, he had planned to go to Madam Pomfrey, the nurse at the school, and he still had a little more faith in Madam Pomfrey when it came to healing spells, but it seemed rude to say so, but in fact, Harry thought it would be better for him to come to Van Lin...... &1t;/p>

So Harry closed his eyes and stood still. &1t;/p>

"The bone pain is gone," Tonks said. Harry felt that his nose was very hot at first, then very cold. He cautiously touched his hand. It seems to be already. &1t;/p>

"Thank you!"&1t;/p>

"You'd better put on that cloak and we'll be able to walk to school," Tonks said with a still grimace on his face, and as Harry put on the cloak, Tonks waved his wand, and a large silver-white quadruped erupted from the tip of his wand and galloped into the darkness. &1t;/p>

"Uh......" When Van Lin saw Tonks' Patronus, he immediately understood why this energetic girl had become so haggard. &1t;/p>

Not everybody's Patronus is a husky isn't, uh, I mean, Icewolf?&1t;/p>

In short, the entanglement between Tonks and Lupin has clearly entered a bottleneck, and Remus is worried about how to solve it, while Tonks is a little sad...... &1t;/p>

In fact, Van Lin would love to tell Tonks that she would have a child with Lupin in the future, but depending on the current situation...... This child should still be in the embryonic state of amino acids and proteins. &1t;/p>

"Great Patronus!" Van Lin said, seemingly giving Tonks some comfort. &1t;/p>

"Uh, thanks. Downston paused. &1t;/p>

"I've told the people in the castle that I've found you, so they don't have to worry about it. Okay, let's go, we'd better not lose time. Tonks said, motioning for the two of them to hurry back to school. &1t;/p>

They set off for the path leading to the school. &1t;/p>

"How did you find me?"&1t;/p>

"I noticed that neither of you got out of the car, and I know you have that cloak. You may be hiding for some reason. I saw the curtains of the box drawn, and I thought I should check it. ”&1t;/p>

"Why are you here?" said Van Lin, somewhat surprised, "this is already within Hogwarts radiation, I think Dumbledore ......"&1t;/p>

"It's the Ministry of Magic. Tonks said quickly, "I'm now stationed in Hogsmeade by the Ministry of Magic to give the school extra protection. ”&1t;/p>

"Maximum Safety Regulations?"&1t;/p>

"Yes. Tonks nodded at Van Lin, "Especially Harry, Scrimgeour doesn't worry about Harry alone. If something goes wrong, we can't afford the consequences. ”&1t;/p>

"Are you the only one there, or is it ——?"&1t;/p>

"No, Praufort, Savage, and Dlux are here. ”&1t;/p>

"Delix, is that the Auror who was attacked by Dumbledore last year?"&1t;/p>

"Yes. ”&1t;/p>

"The Ministry of Magic thinks Voldemort will sneak up here?"&1t;/p>

"Don't say the person's name earlier. Tonks shook his head, "It's a very low chance, but if something happens to the two of you, we can't afford it." ”&1t;/p>

So they trudged along the dark and deserted path, following the freshly imprinted marks of the carriage. &1t;/p>

Harry looked at Tonks next to him under his cloak. Last year, she liked to ask questions so much, laughed so much, and loved to have fun so much. &1t;/p>

But now she is much older, and she looks more serious and determined. Is it all because of everything that was born in the Ministry of Magic?&1t;/p>

If it weren't for Vanlin standing here, Harry wouldn't even think it was a real Tonks, after all, it had been born before, for example, Barty Crouch Jr., maybe Tonks was a fake from Tarver or Bella?&1t;/p>

Harry cleared the thought from his mind, and if that was the case, then the next second, the two of them would surely fall to the ground and appear in Voldemort's castle as soon as they opened their eyes...... &1t;/p>

Harry looked at Van Lin pleadingly, the change in Tonks was so obvious, it felt like Tonks was a decade old, or more?&1t;/p>

But obviously, this is not a polite thing to do, and Van Lin is helpless about it, after all, he can't force Lupin to accept that Tonks is not ...... &1t;/p>

So the three of them just walked silently in the cold night, Tonks' long cloak rattling on the ground behind them. &1t;/p>

He used to travel through this section of the road in a horse-drawn carriage, so Van Lin never realised how far it was from Hogsmeade Station to Hogwarts. &1t;/p>

Finally seeing the tall pillars on both sides of the school gate, this made Van Lin breathe a sigh of relief. He had originally planned to take Harry's Apparition with him, but with so many people from the Ministry of Magic around, Van Lin felt that it was better not to look for trouble, not to mention having Tonks with him, although it only made the journey worse. &1t;/p>

Harry was visibly impatient, but when Harry reached for the door, it was chained. &1t;/p>

"Alaho Cave Open!" said Harry, confidently pointing his wand at the padlock, but nothing came of it. &1t;/p>

"That doesn't work," Tonks said, "Dumbledore himself enchanted them. ”&1t;/p>

"Magic, you're on alert?"&1t;/p>

"Oh yes. ”&1t;/p>

Harry didn't give up and looked around. "I can go over the wall," he proposed. &1t;/p>

"You can't flip," Tonks said weakly. "They've all been cast with anti-invasion spells. This summer, school security has increased hundredfold. ”&1t;/p>

"Alright then," Harry began to get a little annoyed with Tonks who couldn't help, "I guess I'll have to sleep here until tomorrow morning." ”&1t;/p>

"Someone's coming to pick you up," Tonks said. "Look. ”&1t;/p>

A lantern appeared in a corner at the far end of the castle, moving up and down. This made him very happy, and he felt that even Filch's usual criticism and rebuke for his procrastination, or the ranting and threat to improve his punctuality with thumb clips, he could endure it. &1t;/p>

It wasn't until the yellow light was only ten feet away from the two of them, and he had taken off his invisibility cloak and reappeared, that Harry saw his hooked nose reflecting the light, and Severus Snape under the long, greasy black, and a wave of pure disgust rushed over his head. &1t;/p>

"Yes, yes, yes," Snape said with a sneer, pulling out his wand and tapping it on the padlock, the chain slid down like a snake, and the door creaked open. "Glad you showed up, Potter, but it's clear that you think wearing a school robe would hurt your looks. ”&1t;/p>

"I can't, I don't have mine—" Harry began, but Snape interrupted him. &1t;/p>

"No wait, Nymphadora, Potter is in my hands—ah—fairly safe. ”&1t;/p>

"I was going to let Hagrid get the news," Tonks frowned. &1t;/p>

"Hagrid didn't make it to the opening party, just like Potter and Al here, so I took it for him. By the way," Snape stepped aside to let the two in, "I'm interested in your new Patronus. Snape slammed the door shut in front of Tonks, waved his wand again, and the chains slid back to where they were. &1t;/p>

"I think your original one is better," Snape's voice was unmistakably malicious. &1t;/p>

"The new one looks useless. Snape turned the lantern around, and Harry saw a flash of shock and annoyance on Tonks' face. But she was immediately plunged into darkness again. &1t;/p>
