In fact, the form of hesitation became severe, and the alchemy exchange meeting that was originally planned to be attended by Van Lin was also abandoned because of Voldemort.

This is also related to the obstruction of the Ministry of Magic, everyone in the Burrow is under the highest protection regulations of the Ministry of Magic, no one is exempt, especially Van Lin and Harry who have already fought against Voldemort, naturally, without Dumbledore's approval, they can't easily leave here, because it is a very dangerous thing.

However, when the results of the ordinary wizard level exam came the next day, it made Hermin a little excited.

Originally, this had nothing to do with Van Lin and Hermione, but Dumbledore's methods always had to be believed, and the Ministry of Magic planned to give Van Lin and Hermione a separate ordinary wizard level exam, and the time was in the first week of school, and the two of them chose their own time and subjects, and Hogwarts was responsible for their own professors anyway.

This made Hermione a little too excited, and for Van Lin, it was a bit ...... Well, surprise......

Exams for the Ministry of Magic?

Van Lin didn't think it was important, but in Hogwarts's mind, there seemed to be nothing more crucial.

Naturally, the two of them fell into a new round of review, of course, this is not much difference for Van Lin.

Practicing spells, and then fiddling with his potions and alchemy in the Burrow's treasury, was something in itself that had been done, and Nicola Lemet was very strict with his urging.

In addition, Fan Lin had to take out the magic pattern book that he hadn't taken out for a long time, which should be the biggest change.

The rest of the day was pretty full, and Van Lin spent most of the rest of the day playing Quidditch matches for two (he and Harry were on Ron and Ginny, so they were evenly matched, and in Harry's words, your spells were strong, but Quidditch skills were ...... Didn't anyone tell you you sucked flying on a broomstick?)

In the evening, he ate three portions of each of the food that Mrs. Weasley put in front of him, plus teasing Hermione, which was called a separate tutoring.

Well, strictly speaking, that's a good job.

Of course, if it weren't for the daily reports of disappearances and strange (and even fatal) accidents in the Daily Prophet, this summer would have been a happy, peaceful one.

Sometimes Bill and Mr. Weasley brought new information home even before it was in the newspapers.

The only thing that upset Mrs. Weasley was that Harry's sixteenth birthday celebration was disrupted by the terrible news that Remus Lupin had brought to him.

Lupin looked haggard and gloomy that day, his brown hair was mixed with many white strands, and his clothes looked more shabby than ever.

"Two or three more Dementor attacks," Lupin announced in a dismayed face as Mrs. Weasley handed Harry a large slice of birthday cake. They also found the body of Igo Karkaroff in a hut in the northern region. The Dark Mark was cast on top of the hut - well, frankly, I was surprised that he would survive for a year after abandoning the Death Eaters' ranks, and I remember Sirius' brother Regulus only living for a few days. ”

"Yes, alright," Mrs. Weasley said, frowning, "maybe we should discuss something else—"

"Have you heard about Florin Fortescu, Remus?" said Bill, who was being harassed by Fleur with wine. "That's on—"

"—the people at the cold drink shop in Diagon Alley?" Harry interjected uneasily, feeling like his stomach was empty. "He used to let me taste ice cream for free. What's wrong with him?"

"He was dragged away, and it looks like this from the way his shop looks. ”

"Why?" Ron asked, Mrs. Weasley staring at Bill sternly.

"Who knows? he must have done something to them. Florin is a good man. ”

"Speaking of Diagon Alley," said Mr. Weasley, "it seems that Ollivander is gone." ”

"The wand-maker?" asked Ginny in shock. "That's him. The shop was empty. There is no sign of struggle. No one knows if he left on his own or was kidnapped. ”

"But wands - how do people buy wands?"

"They can go to other stores and buy them," Lupin said. "But Ollivander is the best and if they get him over there, it's not good news for us. ”

"No, that's not the most important thing. Van Lin said, "Does Dumbledore know about this, I mean Ollivander is missing." ”

"Uh, I think I know...... Is there something wrong?"

"Of course. "Voldemort is working on the connection between his wand and Harry's, and we all know that the wands of the two of them are twins, but replacing his wand is undoubtedly a loss of strength for Voldemort." ”

"Will Ollivander help him out?" asked Lupin with a frown, having seen Voldemort's powers, naturally ......

"I don't know. Van Lin hesitated, he thought of what Voldemort might know, but in fact, it was later, but now, no one can guarantee that Ollivander will not tell Voldemort about the Elder Wand, and besides, Voldemort himself is communicating the power of the Elder Wand's maker......

"I'll tell Dumbledore. Lupin nodded.

"Alright, it's Harry's birthday, can't we talk about something pleasant?" Mrs. Weasley interrupted with some displeasure, "It's a Order of the Phoenix business, we can put it in the meeting......"

"Oh, I don't mind. Harry hurriedly expressed his attitude, but it was nothing but a roll of the eyes for him......

"Okay, we can say something else. Van Lin said, looking at Hermione, then at everyone's serious faces.

"Where's Tonks?" said Ginny, "how did she ......?"

Speaking of Tonks, Fleur's face didn't change, Bill was a little unnatural, obviously, he knew Mrs. Weasley's intentions, but in fact, no one could escape Fleur's charm, especially those who had fallen into it.

However, when it comes to Tonks, Lupin's face is a little unnatural, maybe this little girl has caused Lupin a lot of trouble......

And so, after this gloomy birthday party, the next day they received a letter from Hogwarts, a list of textbooks, and of course some appointments and instructions, and Van Linn was naturally re-elected, although it was of no avail.

However, Harry was pleasantly surprised: he was chosen captain of the Quidditch team.

"Wow, I remember Charlie wearing this," Ron happily checked the badge. "Harry, that's so cool, you're my captain - if you keep me on the team, haha......"

"Well, now that you've received this, I don't think the time to go to Diagon Alley can be delayed any longer," Mrs. Weasley sighed as she looked at Ron's textbook list. "We'll go on Saturday as long as your father doesn't have to go to work that day. I wouldn't have gone without him. ”

"Mom, do you really think the mystery man would hide behind the shelves of the Blotted Bookstore?" Ron said with a snicker.

"Did Fortescu and Ollivanders go on vacation, huh?" Mrs. Weasley immediately froze. "If you think the security seems ridiculous, stay home and I'll go buy your stuff myself-"

"No, I'm going, I'm going to visit Fred and George's shop!" said Ron.

"Then wake up, boy, don't let me think you're too naïve to decide not to let you go with us!"

Mrs. Weasley said angrily, grabbing her clock—the nine hands still pointing to 'life in danger'—and placing it securely on a pile of freshly washed towels. "Otherwise I won't let you go back to Hogwarts!"

Apparently, Ron's words hit Mrs. Weasley's sensitive spot, and at this juncture, there was no doubt that anything about the Death Eaters or Voldemort would cause Mrs. Weasley's nervousness.

The pressure was overwhelming Mrs. Weasley.

Ron, on the other hand, looked aggrieved and turned to stare at Harry in disbelief, as his mother lifted the laundry basket with the rickety clock and walked out of the room in a rage.

"Oh my God...... It's not even a joke here......"

But fortunately, Ron didn't mention Voldemort again in the remaining days. After all, Mrs. Weasley's wrath Ron was still in awe.

It had calmed everyone down, and Mrs. Weasley hadn't been angry before dawn on Saturday, though she still looked nervous at the table. Thankfully, everyone was able to go out, and Bill and Fleur were staying at home.

At the early morning dinner table, Bill handed Harry a full money bag.

"Where's mine?" Ron asked immediately, his eyes wide open.

"That would have been Harry's, fool," Bill said. "I've taken it out of your coffers, Harry, for it takes at least five hours to get their gold now, and the elves have stepped up their security considerably. Alger Filpert had just been stabbed in his ...... by an integrity probe two days ago Well, trust me, it's the easier way. ”

"Thank you, Bill," Harry put the gold in his pocket.

"He's always so considerate," Fleur said adoringly as she scratched Bill's nose and purred in her throat.

For a moment, Ginny pretended to vomit behind Fleur's back. Harry choked on the cornflakes, and Ron slapped him the back.

The sour smell of this love makes them feel uncomfortable, and they usually eat full of dog food, and here, they still have to be shown?

Van Lin didn't feel anything, but for Harry and Ron, it was a naked injury, after all, the two of them should have fantasized about Fleur a few years ago......

However, the weather on the day of the trip was terrible, and the sky was full of dark clouds, which made it look very gloomy.

When they appeared outside the house with their cloaks on, a Ministry of Magic sedan that Harry had ridden in once was already waiting in the courtyard of the front door.

"It's great that Daddy can borrow these again," Ron said gratefully, stretching a lot as the sedan drove smoothly out of the Burrow, and Bill and Fleur waved at them from the kitchen window.

Ron, Harry, Van Lin, Hermione, and Ginny sat in the spacious and comfortable back seats.

"Don't get addicted, it's all because Harry is here," Mr. Weasley said, turning his head. He and Mrs. Weasley sat in the front seat with the driver in the department, the front passenger seat stretching out understandingly like a two-seater couch. "He was given the highest level of security. We're meeting up with another group of guards at the Leaky Cauldron. ”

Harry didn't say anything, in fact, he didn't like to be in the company of a large group of Aurors, but there was no way around it, they had to cooperate.

However, he still had an invisibility cloak in his backpack, and he thought that if it worked for Dumbledore, then it should work for the Ministry of Magic as well, and although he thought about it now, Harry wasn't sure if the Ministry knew he had such a cloak.

Just as Harry was considering whether or not to escape with the cloak of invisibility, they had already arrived at their destination.

"You're here," said the driver, who spoke for the first time, as he slowed down on Charing Cross Street and parked outside the Leaky Cauldron Bar. "I'm waiting for you at the door, can you tell me how long you'll be staying?"

"Two or three hours, I reckon," Mr. Weasley said.

"Ah, yes, here he is!" Harry followed Mr. Weasley's example and looked out the window, his heart skipping a beat.

There were no Aurors waiting outside the inn, only a huge figure with a black beard, it was Rubeus Hagrid, the Hogwarts hunting ground warden, wearing a beaver fur coat, looking at Harry happily, not paying attention to the horrified faces of Muggle pedestrians.

"Harry!" he said in a gruff voice, and as soon as Harry got out of the car, he grabbed him with the force he could crush bones. "It's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"I'm happy," Harry grinned as he rubbed his ribs.

"Ah, and you!" Hagrid hugged everyone one by one, not caring for it.

"We didn't know 'guard' was referring to you!"

"I know, just like before, huh? The Ministry of Magic wanted to send a bunch of Aurors, but Dumbledore said I'd do it," Hagrid proudly puffed out his chest and tucked his thumb into his pocket.

Muggles around were clearly attracted to Hagrid, after all, it was still amazing for a guy who was almost 1.5 times your height to stand on the street.

"Then let's go in—we'll follow you, Molly, Arthur—"

The Leaky Cauldron was empty, for the first time in Harry's memory. The only thing left in the crowd was Tom, the boss, with a withered face and teeth on the verge of falling out.

Tom looked up hopefully as they entered, but before he could speak, Hagrid said solemnly, "I'm just passing by today, Tom, as you know for sure." Hogwarts affairs. ”

Tom nodded a little depressedly and wiped the glass again.

For Old Tom, unlike when he came before, he had obviously been unemployed for a long time, and before he came here in a few weeks, the number of people here was not so scarce, and everyone hid in fear.

"Pretty bad, isn't it? ”

"One thing, though, not surprising. Van Lin replied, in reply to Hagrid's words, "but it won't last long. ”

"Oh, I've always thought so, but before that, Tom might be a little unhappy. Hagrid said in a suffrage, obviously wanting to stop here and have a beer as before.

"Let's go over, Diagon Alley looks like ......"
