September 1,

Hogwarts has finally started school.

Compared with the past, outside the 9th platform this time, there were many black-clothed men, they were burly and had solemn expressions, even if they were wearing sunglasses, they could feel the murderous aura in their eyes.

Even the Muggle guards, who were usually arrogant, did not dare to approach.

"They're all Aurors!" Tonks, who was standing outside the platform and checking his luggage, whispered:

"In case the Death Eaters attack again, Minister Fudge sent them to protect the students...... The disguise is okay, right? ”

"The disguise is really okay." Rove glanced at the fierce men in black and said with a smile:

"Don't you say that I thought they were the mafia, and they came to the train station to rob them."

"What is the mafia?" Tonks asked with interest, "That word sounds pretty cool!" ”

Rove thought for a moment and described it in plain words: "You can understand it as a Muggle Death Eater." ”

After understanding that mafia is not a good word, Tonks lightly rolled his eyes at the boy, raised his fist, and waved:

"Are you making a parable again? Be careful that I catch you! ”

"Then you hurry up and catch it." Rove pointed to the group of reporters with cameras not far away, and chuckled:

"You catch it here, and it's time for the Daily Prophet over there—shock! Female Auror violently enforces the law to arrest innocent students! ”

"Not really." Tonks grinned fearlessly:

"Those reporters were invited by Secretary Fudge, and they weren't Rita Skeeter, and they didn't dare to touch on such a topic that couldn't be discussed."

Shirley, who was standing next to Rove, asked curiously, "What are you here for?" ”

"Take a picture...... Write news. Tonks blinked, and said:

"Tomorrow you read the newspaper, there will be a report on the most beautiful Aurors, the most beautiful scenery, or praise the Ministry of Magic for escorting the little wizard to school."

"......" Fudge knows how to put on a show.

However, this is also normal, after the catastrophic accident of the Quidditch World Cup, Fudge's approval rating has now fallen to an all-time low.

And in the black market, the odds on Fudge to remain minister next year are also soaring...... If you don't brush yourself up with some favorability, you'll really be covered next year.

Seeing that Tonks was about to open his box to see if he was carrying any prohibited items, Rove quipped:

"It's not that as a Merlin Medal recipient, you will definitely not bring prohibited items...... Just based on the relationship between the two of us, does my luggage still need to be checked? ”

"No, your box is the focus of the Aurors' office!" Tonks said this, but his eyes rolled around, glanced around, and lowered his voice:

"But if you promise me one thing, you won't check."

"What's the matter?"

"I went to Weasley's house that day and I heard Ginny talk about the night of the Quidditch World Cup final, and she said you have a dragon...... A big, fierce dragon. ”

Tonks took Rove's arm with great interest, and said with anticipation on his face:

"You let me take a look, let me sit on it, and see what it feels like, I haven't ridden a dragon yet!"

“……”

Tonks didn't see Rove's dragon in the end, not because he didn't want to, but because there were too many people here, and it was not suitable for it to come out.

Saying goodbye to Tonks, Rolf and Shirley made their way through the wall to Platform 9.

A bright red Hogwarts Express train was parked on the platform, belching smoke, and many students and parents stood by the train to say their final goodbyes.

Rove's appearance seemed to press the silent button, and the platform, which was still noisy just now, fell silent for a moment.

Everyone stared at him unabashedly, as if they were looking at a rare animal.

There was no way, Rove's commotion this summer vacation was so great that everyone couldn't help but focus on him when they saw his wizard.

Many people also wanted to run over to ask Rove for an autograph, but because of the Aurors, no one dared to rush around for a while.

They feared that they would be overly agitated and seen by the Aurors as Death Eaters attacking the famous Scamander...... And then he was killed.

Then who to reason!

Shirley and Rove walked side by side, and she also secretly looked at the boy out of the corner of her eye, and her heart was still full of unknown little pride.

Ha, how can I have such a good vision?

The ponytail girl smiled and narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and then quickly pressed down, and disappeared in a flash, not easy to notice.

As they approached the train, they met Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, who had come to see them off, and after greeting each other, Mr. Weasley suddenly spoke:

"Rov, I have something to tell you."

"Well, Shirley, you go up first." Rove said, "Look in which compartment Hermione they're in." ”

The ponytailed girl hummed softly, took the box from Rove's hand, and politely said goodbye to the Weasleys before heading for the train.

Mrs. Weasley looked at Shirley and couldn't help but sigh that she would have such a gentle, quiet and well-behaved daughter.

Mr. Weasley led Rove to the corner of the platform, and after a moment of silence, he sighed:

"Lucius Malfoy was acquitted yesterday by the Ministry of Magic."

It was the first time that Rove had heard the news, but he had already expected it and didn't have too many mood swings.

Yes, McNeil did identify Malfoy, saying that he was the mastermind behind the attack on the Quidditch World Cup, but Malfoy had an alibi.

On the night of the crime, Malfoy had been with Fudge all the time, and even a dozen Aurors had proved it to him.

Therefore, McNeill's designation does not convict Malfoy.

"Malfoy was released that day and went to my office." Mr. Weasley looked ugly and said:

"It was just the two of us, and Malfoy admitted to being involved in the attack that night, but he didn't kill me, which is a pity.

He also threatened me to stop working for Dumbledore or I would die sooner or later! ”

"Did Malfoy really say that?" Rove raised his eyebrows, this old boy is so arrogant now?

"Yes, that's what Malfoy said, and he looks fearless." Mr. Weasley said seriously:

"Rove, Hogwarts will hold the Triwizard Tournament this semester, and there are other schools participating, you must be careful, it's best not to participate in the Triwizard Tournament."

Rove did not agree, nor did he refuse, but said softly:

"I see, Mr. Weasley, thanks for the reminder, I'll be careful."

"Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley shouted, "Arthur, the train is about to start, hurry up and get Rove on board!" ”

"Okay, Molly!" Mr. Weasley said, turning to Rove again and whispering in a more hurried voice, "Be careful. ”

Rove nodded and headed for the train.

A loud whistle blew and the crew walked along the train and closed all the doors.

The Hogwarts Express made a foul sound and headed off into the distance.
