Dumbledore was quick to reply.

He shared Harry's suspicion that there was a Voldemort Horcrux hidden in Hogwarts.

He's already asked the house-elves to rummage, and maybe there will be a result by the beginning of the school year.

The failure to find Sirius made Harry inevitably feel impetuous, which was reflected in the actual combat training, and Flitwick's legs went limp, and he almost shivered all the way home before he barely managed to walk home.

The young man is full of energy and like a wolf, and he really can't hold on.

Let's start school!

It wasn't until his birthday that Harry's mood improved slightly.

Hedwig was busy and disappeared early in the morning.

Piggybacking on Hermione's birthday present, a bottle of sea salt-flavored perfume - which she carefully selected in France.

And gifts from the Weasleys.

The unmasked Bill gave him an ancient Egyptian amulet, a delicate lion statue of the lion god Mahes of Egyptian mythology and legend - with true magical powers, courage and malice.

When the malicious eyes are staring at its owner, it will buzz as a wake-up call.

Harry loved it.

Putting it on with hemp rope and wearing it on his chest gave him some of his witcher feeling.

And Charlie, the Weasley's dragon trainer who worked in Romania, sent a delicate model of a fire dragon, as well as a bottle of dragon blood.

Professor McGonagall mailed him three of his father's notes, along with one of his own notes on Animagus, and this year he could begin to learn about this advanced transfiguration magic.

Dumbledore also sent a notebook.

It's about alchemy and brain occlusion.

Snape didn't miss his birthday either, a bottle of elixir, golden potion of happiness.

The gifts from Hagrid almost ruined the gifts of the others, a pile of materials from the Forbidden Forest, and a book that would bite people, very vicious, and bite anything.

And, of course, most importantly, the Hogwarts book list.

As for the electives, Harry didn't swing his hand like Hermione did and ticked all the classes, he only chose three, such as Niven, Magical Beasts Protection, and Divination.

He's weird.

There is such a course as "Muggle Studies" in Hogwarts.

Of course, what's even more strange is that even if there is such a course, there are many people who sign up, but wizards, their understanding of ordinary people, is still at the outrageous level of "pointing at potatoes and reading tomatoes" - the only correct understanding is that ordinary people can't do magic, but the human body structure is the same as wizards.

Harry focused on Defence Against the Dark Arts textbooks.

It's normal.

At least not Lockhart and the like.

Harry had very low requirements for this subject, even if he could read from the book like Quirrell, it would be good.

By a week before school starts.

Harry: They meet in Diagon Alley.

In front of the ice cream parlor.

"Harry!" Hermione waved her hand happily at him, "This way." ”

She carried a paralyzed ginger creature in her arms.

As soon as Harry got closer, the creature struggled out of Hermione's arms, leapt onto the table, and snapped its ears at him, blew its fur, bared its teeth, and let out a low growl of "Shasha".

"No, Crookshan, it's a friend." Hermione pressed its head, "You can't do that. ”

Crookshant was a little more relaxed, but still very guarded.

"It's been well-behaved, but I don't know why." Hermione explained in a panic, "Maybe it's because Harry you're too good that it's ......"

Harry sat down, reached out, grabbed the ginger cat's waist, scooped it into his arms, and flipped its ears to check, "I've never been a cat likable. ”

Every witcher, to be exact.

Crookshank rolled his belly and lay on Harry's lap, his eyes a little dazed.

"Cat raccoon blood?" Harry lifted its tail, a little surprised, "That's a nice pet. ”

"What cats?" Hermione was a little confused.

"Didn't the clerk tell you when you bought it?" Harry pinched its ball of flesh and squeezed its claws out, sharp and healthy.

Crookshank finally reacted.

I was toyed with by this dangerous man!

It hissed, and wanted to roll over and slam a claw at the man's face.

But as soon as he twisted his waist, Harry gave it a push, making it turn three hundred and sixty degrees, and it still landed on his lap with his stomach up.

"Don't move, let me check." Harry reached out and pressed it to its head.

Crookshank hesitated, sniffing and smelling the scent of many magical creatures on Harry's body that he couldn't afford to provoke - there was a very dangerous snake magical creature under his robes, and so did the sword behind his back.

There are also unicorns, eight-eyed spiders, centaurs in their pockets......

It lies down obediently and no longer struggles.

"The clerk only told me that it was a poor child, and because it looked strange, no one wanted to take it away." Hermione whispered, "I relented and bought it." ”

"That's earned." Harry continued to check, "Even if it's a half-breed, it should have the ability to inherit some cats. ”

"Very intelligent and able to spot dangerous creatures."

Hermione flipped through her bag, quickly took out a book, looked it up, flipped to the cat entry, read it carefully, and the more she read it, the more she liked it.

Ron came over quickly, too.

After a summer vacation, he grew a little taller, was tanned in Egypt, and changed into a new robe, and the whole person looked much more mature and stable.

"Harry." Ron greeted warmly, "How's the summer vacation going?" ”

"I heard you went to Malfoy's house to collect your debts?"

Harry nodded, "It's not bad, it's kind of a good breath for you." ”

"George, they've found something interesting in Egypt that might be going to be used on little Malfoy next semester." Ron seemed to have come out of the shadows of that incident and returned to his previous cheerful personality, "Did you buy the book?" ”

Harry nodded.

Hermione patted the bags beside her, bulging with three large bags.

Ron was stunned: "Hermione, why do you have so many books than me, and the library is not enough for you......"

"It's an elective." Hermione grimaced and said solemnly, "I've taken all the electives, and of course there are more textbooks than you. ”

"You're not going to eat or sleep?" Ron complained, "Did you come over so many electives?" ”

"Professor McGonagall told me there would be a way." Hermione was serious, "Harry is already so far ahead, even though he's number one and I'm number two. ”

"But in the fourth or fifth grade, Harry will still be the first, and I'm much worse."

Ron sighed, "You can't compare to Harry, Bill was dumbfounded when he heard me talk about Harry, he took twelve 'O's." ”

"The goblins of Gringotts are even desperate for Harry to graduate and work as a spell breaker."

Harry returned Crookshant to Hermione, "They weren't expecting me, they were expecting the Gryffindor Sword. ”

Ginger flashed before Ron's eyes.

He immediately jumped to his feet, and his face became frightened: "What is this?" How did it end up here? ”
