Harry thought it was a bit of a bad experience tonight, first startled by a large black dog that suddenly appeared, and then saw a bus that looked tattered on the outside and had even more tattered decorations on the inside.

Then he learned that it was a knight bus. The main purpose is to transport those troubled wizards, transporting them anywhere on land.

And the way to hail a taxi is also very simple: stretch your wand into the air, similar to a Muggle hailing a taxi.

Although there are many things in the wizarding world that are magical, the knight bus still makes him feel a kind of 'can the world be like this?' 'Feelings.

The current Harry is not the Harry who didn't have much of an idea of anything other than Quidditch.

Thanks to Luke's quick movements, Year 2 Harry had already followed his teammates to the Quidditch Championship. Although last year's House Cup was ruthlessly taken away by Slytherin. After all, Slytherin, who has two bonus machines, has too much advantage.

But Harry, who won the Quidditch title, was still very happy with the status quo. In the same way, some of his energy has been transferred to Potions.

His interest in research has given him some insight into all sorts of strange situations that are considered unreasonable in the wizarding world.

For example, the appearance of this bus. The existence of this thing is unreasonable enough. Although the wizarding world has a variety of Muggle-related attacks, the wizarding world as a whole is actually quite conservative and quite repulsive towards the Muggle world. This has a lot to do with the fact that they still ride a magic broomstick instead of a magic bike.

If the so-called knight's bus was a horse-drawn carriage, then he felt quite normal.

And now, it is indeed a bus that appears.

Harry didn't know much about the founding of the Knights, but he knew only one thing...... This thing is a little too fast......

It's really too fast, so fast that it makes him think, why is there only one such transportation?

And when he thought about this, he suddenly remembered a sentence that Luke had said back then.

"We're living in a society where a lot of things can seem weird. For example, things that are very convenient, but for some very boring reasons, they cannot be a tool to facilitate our lives. ”

"There are also long-established surnames that have been excluded from the nobility for some very nonsensical reasons."

Harry remembered that Luke's eyes were staring straight at him as he said the latter sentence.

"Is that what Luke meant?"

Harry muttered to himself as he walked towards the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

Before he could push the door open, a bald head with a very severe hunchback, as if a large pillow was stuffed behind his back, walked out, with enthusiasm on his face, but it made Harry feel a little cold.

Not for any other reason. It's just that the person in front of him gave him a bad sense of déjà vu.

"Oh! Mr. Potter! You've finally arrived. ”

The bald head grinned and said, "My name is Tom, please come in!" ”

Harry went in anyway. But the name also seemed to make him feel a little awkward.

But this awkwardness disappeared after he entered the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

Because in the Leaky Cauldron Bar, he saw a very familiar figure.

"It's been a while, Harry."

Luke smiled and spread his arms. Harry also gave Luke a warm hug.

"Why are you here too?"

After the two parted, Harry asked with some surprise. After all, based on what he knew about Luke, a lazy Luke wouldn't have come to the bustling Leaky Cauldron under such circumstances.

After all, this is just a gathering place for ordinary wizards, and because it is a very important gathering place, there will be some nobles haunting. But their appearance often does not stop here, but is just a transfer station.

That's why Harry felt something strange about the situation.

Luke restrained the smile on his face, "Your magic is out of control?" ”

The expression on Harry's face froze, he didn't expect Luke to start with this.

"You know that, too? Is this serious? ”

Harry didn't really know much about the laws of the wizarding world. So when Luke showed up and brought it up, he subconsciously thought that something big was going to happen.

And then in an instant I regretted my actions for three points. However, this kind of remorse is shallow and short-lived, and he regrets even more that he should have done something more secretive and should not be discovered.

Looking at the complicated expression on Harry's face, as well as the mixed emotions, Luke patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't think too much, this matter is big or small." It's all too normal for a little wizard to lose control of his magic because of his emotions being out of control. ”

"But this time, because it has caused a certain amount of harm and panic to Muggles, it will take some manpower and material resources to clean up these effects."

"Of course, this is a problem for the Ministry of Magic. Your question is ......"

Luke looked at Harry seriously and said, "You shouldn't have run away from home. ”

His serious look made Harry feel heavy. He may not listen to what others say, but Luke is different, if Luke reprimands, then Harry will really reflect on himself.

"Your sudden departure has caused trouble to the work of those staff of the Ministry of Magic. They don't have enough access to information, and they can misjudge where you stand in the matter. ”

This also made Harry reflect, and when he thought about it, his actions did cause some people to fall into a considerable amount of trouble.

After that, Luke continued.

"Second, the important thing is, Harry, that your running away from home will only make them feel your cowardice. You can't let them look up to you. Your cowardice will only serve as a credential for them to continue attacking you. ”

As he spoke, Luke patted Harry heavily on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, don't worry. You have done nothing wrong, and you should teach those who bully you a profound lesson. And such a counterattack should not be punished. ”

Luke's last words, of course, were to show his attitude. He was still very supportive of Harry's direct confrontation with the Dursleys.

Was the Dursleys' existence really necessary?

They existed to strengthen Harry's ancient magic, which was based on love and blood.

But now, does Harry really need that magic protection?

Luke doesn't think so.

Voldemort, in Luke's eyes, was nothing more than a small vermin. The real threat to him is the saints who are still active, the organizations that are hiding in the shadows and plotting unclear plans, the powerful and deep-rooted nobles. And not a little Voldemort.

His philosophy was naturally in opposition to the large number of half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards. As long as he appears now, after the nobles have a strong leader, there will be no one standing by his side anymore. Even if there were, they were just idiots who couldn't see the situation clearly.

Such a person is not worth being overly careful.

Harry felt Luke's encouragement and trust, and his heart was strongly moved.

Obviously, Luke is real, the one on his side.

"I see! I won't make that mistake again next time. ”

Harry, who was already the size of a teenager, promised Luke with a childlike expression.

Luke patted him on the shoulder, then said, "Now, there's one more person who wants to see you." ”

With that, he waved his hand at Tom, who was smiling flatteringly at him, and motioned for him to go. Tom smiled and nodded, and then went about his business.

Luke turned and walked upstairs.

"Who? Who wants to see me? ”

Harry asked as he followed Luke's footsteps, a little curious.

He keenly felt that Luke's attitude, although still casual, was a little more cautious than that of others.

Hearing this, Luke was silent for a moment, and after turning his head to look at Harry, he spoke: "A fool who was pushed into a position that shouldn't belong to him at an abnormal time, and then silenced when he shouldn't be silent, and spoke up when he shouldn't. ”

Harry silently shut his mouth when he heard the comment.

He really didn't think that the person who could get such a comment from Luke would be a small person.

If he is really a small person, he does not deserve Luke's four-stage evaluation.

So when Luke opened the door, he saw the person who had received Luke's comment.

Luke smiled and introduced him, "Harry, this is Mr. Fudge, Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic. ”

The Harrys are all wooden...... Minister of Magic, and what you just said...... Luke, you're good.

Before Harry could come to his senses, Cornelius Fudge walked up to Harry with a friendly face and a big smile on his face.

"Haha, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, Harry!"

Fudge walked up to Harry like a kind elder, put his hands on his shoulders enthusiastically, and said with a warm smile on his face, "Actually, this meeting should have been held earlier, but unfortunately it has been delayed until now." But it's not too late. ”

With that, he led Harry to a chair next to the table and sat down, then gestured to Luke.

After the two of them were seated, Fudge smiled and said, "Harry, you made quite a fuss a little south of Sheffield before. Quite a few people have seen your uncle's sister circling around a chimney. ”

When Harry heard this, he was about to explain, but Fudge didn't give him a chance to speak.

"No, no, no, I don't need to explain anything, Mr. Gaunt has already told me about you. I've never experienced anything like this, but I can understand your feelings. It's just that the next time something like this happens, it's better for you to stay there and help the Reverse Accidental Magic Event team deal with the related matters. ”

"After all, no one would go into Azkaban by using magic to blow his aunt into a balloon."

As he said this, Fudge spread his hands and a big smile appeared on his face.

Harry glanced at Luke gratefully when he heard this. Luke smiled back.

Then Harry heard Fudge speak again.

"But," Fudge said with a serious expression, "with the current situation, you are irresponsible to yourself for running away from home. ”

Harry was a little puzzled, "The current situation?" What is the current situation? ”

"A murderer has escaped from prison."

Fudge stared into Harry's eyes, as if trying to see something wrong in his eyes.

Apparently, though, he didn't find out.

Harry didn't pay attention to his eyes, but asked with some confusion, "Sirius Black?" What does he have to do with me? ”

Fudge wasn't surprised that Harry had announced the name. After all, the news of the other party's prison break has spread throughout the British wizarding world, and even began to spread to the entire European wizarding community.

Furthermore, if Luke had told him, it wouldn't have been a surprise. Obviously, these two teenagers, who are also famous, have a rather deep friendship.

This situation made Fudge feel a little déjà vu, but for a while he didn't realize where he had seen a similar combination.

"It's okay, of course it's okay." Fudge smiled brightly, "You're safe now, that's all that matters." ”

Looking at Fudge's smiling face and the relieved expression, Harry suddenly felt that Luke's previous comments might not be a denigration.

After all, if there was something Luke didn't want him to know, he would never be able to tell it in his face and voice.

But Fudge was different, his emotions were almost all written on his face.

In Luke's words, it probably is...... Not enough city?

But that doesn't seem like a bad thing.

It's not good to ask the answer directly from Minister Fudge's mouth now, so it's better to go back and ask Luke directly.

With a smile on his face, Fudge got up again and walked in the direction of his makeshift desk.

"You'll be back to Hogwarts tomorrow, by the way, your new textbook over there."

Fudge smiled and pointed to the top of the cabinet on the other side, "I brought it to you on my own initiative." ”

Then he smiled politely at Luke, "Mr. Gaunt, we'll talk more about it later." ”

Luke, who had been watching for a long time, nodded with a smile and said, "Waiting for you at any time." ”

Such an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance had already made Fudge inexplicably excited, and Harry could even see the flush on his face.

Luke snapped his fingers, and Harry's pile of books flew behind them.

Before Harry could ask, Luke was the first to speak.

"Harry, you seem to have grown a lot taller."

He had a shallow smile on his face.

Hearing this, Harry nodded, "After all, we are already in the third year. ”
