Chapter 45: Returning Home
After a bit of a twisty Christmas, the students went home one after another. When they returned, they were greeted by their final exams shortly after.
Norlin and Smith sat in the carriage, their heads propped up with their hands, and their eyes looked out the window. The chatter around him seemed to cut him off.
The scenery was still as beautiful as when he came, but he was not in the mood to appreciate it.
The closer the train got to London, the heavier his heart became. Knowing in his heart that there was no one at home, he still insisted on taking a look with his own eyes.
"Drip-"
Norlin slept slowly on the soft back of his chair, and the sound of the train horn woke him up. He rubbed his eyes, the others were already changing their clothes.
Zhang Qiu's father is a typical Chinese man, with a square face and a very manly face. He greeted Norin and the others in a somewhat broken English, and Norin listened for a while, but he still couldn't help but say:
"Actually, I know Huaxia."
Zhang Qiu's father breathed a sigh of relief, walked up and lifted the bag in Zhang Qiu's hand, and said:
"Xiaoqiu told me that there is a person who is particularly proficient in Chinese, and you must be Norin Davis."
Norin nodded, talking to him as he went. On the other side, around the twins, there were a few more red-haired people.
Norlin looked up and saw that the tall, but somewhat balding figure was Arthur Weasley, and the middle-aged lady next to him was undoubtedly Mrs. Molly.
They were followed by a man and a woman with two red-haired children, who should be Ron and Ginny.
The twins looked excited and hugged Arthur and Molly, and George said:
"Mom and Dad, Ron Ginny, we miss you guys! Ron, this is our Christmas present for you! ”
Fred handed Ron a telescope, and Ron said "hey", picked up the telescope and put it on his eye.
Mo Li, who was looking suspicious, changed her face, stretched out her hand to Ron, and said loudly:
"Ron, don't-"
"Bang!"
A slight cloud of smoke floated up, and Ron had a thick dark circle on his right eye.
Ron froze for a moment, and the telescope slammed into Fred, raising his fist and pounced.
Fred laughed and dodged the binoculars and pressed Ron's head with one hand.
Ginny was speechless from the side, and said with a look of hatred:
"What a fool, I don't have a long memory of being tricked so many times."
Norlin couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it, George's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Norlin and said to Arthur and Molly:
"That guy's name is Norin Davis, and I haven't seen a first-grader as fierce as he is."
Norin waved his hand, as if he had said hello. Arthur and Molly smiled kindly, and then led the children out of the station.
After saying goodbye to his friends, Norlin got on the bus back to Little Whinging in Surrey alone.
At the station, he changed into Muggle clothes, his wand at his waist, obscured by the wide clothing.
After stepping through the door, he had to admit that the house was empty.
All the furniture in the house has not changed as it was when he left. A thin layer of dust was laid on the floor, and the sunlight shone into the pillar of light in the house, and you could clearly see the fine particles flying irregularly.
"Clean it up."
Norlin took out his wand and said softly. The dust quickly disappeared without a trace.
He lay on the couch, staring at the ceiling, and walked out of the house for a while.
"Huh?"
As soon as he stepped out of the house, he felt something unusual. A small head was poking out from behind a wall to look at itself.
"Norin!"
The man behind the wall saw Norin clearly, shouted excitedly, and ran towards him quickly.
"It's Harry."
Norlin gave a warm smile and gestured over Harry's head, "Grown taller." ”
"Why are you back?"
Harry was running too fast, a little out of breath at this point, and asked with a slight gasp.
"It's a holiday, come back and see."
Norin replied casually, asking with some confusion, "How do you know I'm home?" ”
"I sense something is wrong with your house......"
Harry whispered, a little embarrassed.
Norin's heart was shocked, and he sighed that the savior in the original book was not only a son of luck, but also a talent that should not be underestimated, and the traces of the spell could be felt from such a distance.
"A Christmas present for you, albeit a little late."
Norlin thought for a moment, rummaged through his pockets, took out a bee candy from Duke Honey, and handed it to Harry.
Harry was clearly interested in the strange-shaped candy, and Norlin looked across and said:
"You'll find out next year. Now, I have to pay a visit to Mr. Vernon. ”
Harry's shoulders visibly shrank at the sound of "Mr. Vernon", but he ended up following behind Norlin.
There was a quick knock on the door, and a fat man with a big beard stood in the doorway, looking like an Afghan hound with a beard glued to his beard with super super glue.
The first thing he saw was Harry behind Nolin, furious: "Potter! Did I say you weren't allowed to step out of your cupboard without my permission? ”
Norin frowned and said:
"Mr. Vernon, I don't think you have the right to restrict Harry's actions."
"I don't have the right to ...... Ha, I don't have the right? Vernon Dursley smiled exaggeratedly, "I raised him for ten years, and you say I have no rights?" Speaking of which, are you a child of the Davis family? ”
"Hmm." Norlin thought for a moment and said, "My father is a lawyer, you should know, and you treat Harry like this, guess how many laws you have broken?" ”
Vernon Dursley's face changed twice, and he reluctantly let go of his fat body, muttering:
"Come in."
Norlin followed him in, Penny Evans Dursley was wiping down furniture, and a little fat man was snaking on the couch.
After the little fat man looked at the visitor, he jumped in shock, but he didn't expect to jump up and plant back on the sofa, and said viciously:
"Davis, why are you coming to my house?"
"Guess."
Norlin deliberately frightened him, and said to him with an eerie smile on his face.
"Say it, little ghost, what do you want to do."
Vernon Dursley, who was on the sidelines, had to interrupt.
"Nothing." Norin said quietly, "Yesterday was Christmas, and as a neighbor, I didn't have time to come over and put it up, so today I came to make up for it." ”
Vernon Dursley sneered:
"Isn't that what your parents are supposed to do, how can it be your turn to do it?"
"They went on a trip, and it happened that I was going home, so I had to come, after all, the etiquette that neighbors should have is still indispensable."
Aunt Petunia brought the snack to the table and glanced at Norin.
"Tourism?"
Vernon Dursley touched his chin, "No wonder they haven't seen them since they went to London, I have a little more to discuss with Justin." ”
London.
Norlin made a note of this, and after arguing with Vernon Dursley for a while, he got up to take his leave.
As he walked up to Aunt Penny, Norlin lowered his voice and whispered:
"Be nice to Harry, it's only a few months away."
Aunt Petunia's face changed dramatically, and she stared at Norlin as if she were looking at another species.
