Chapter Forty-Seven: Flying Cars
"So, this guy intercepted our letters?"
Ron stared at Dobby with an ugly look on his face, as if he wanted to kick it twice. Dobby was tied up tightly by Kreacher, and he couldn't move.
"It's not just yours, Hermione's, Hagrid's, he's a real thing."
"It's a pity that the elves can't play Quidditch."
"Otherwise he must be a world-class goalkeeper."
The twins examined the cover of the letter, singing and teasing.
"He said something horrible was going to happen at Hogwarts this year, but he couldn't tell me what it was."
"I just asked him who wanted to hurt me, and he couldn't say." Harry shook his head helplessly, "Ask him how that person wants to hurt me, and he still can't say." ”
"Don't worry, Harry." Kano shook his head, "You should trust Dumbledore. ”
"Oh no." Dobby spoke, "Even if he is a white wizard whose mana is comparable to that of a mysterious man, there are some things he can't do, because he's not..."
"Bad Dobby, bad Dobby, almost said bad things about the master's family..."
Dobby banged his head against the wall again, and Harry had to step forward and pinn him to the ground.
"I think what he wants to convey is that his master's family has no bottom line." Ron pouted, "But I'll just say it, there are ancient families with house-elves, and there is no bottom line in their style. ”
Harry finally held Dobby down, or maybe Dobby knocked himself unconscious.
"Can anyone tell me what to do with him?" Harry panted and got up from the ground, "I'm afraid I'm going to say something wrong and let him die of abuse." ”
"Let me do it." Kano stepped forward and shook Dobby awake.
Dobby's eyes snapped back together, and Kano leaned into his ear and whispered, "Malfoy." ”
Dobby twisted back in horror, and Kano straightened up and added, "Dumbledore is prepared, don't worry, don't do anything superfluous." ”
With that, he motioned for Kreacher to untie Dobby's rope. Kreacher hooked his fingers with some regret, and the complex knots on Dobby's body were automatically untied.
Dobby saluted Harry and Kano, sniffled, snapped his fingers, and disappeared into thin air.
"Alright, it's not too early." One of the twins looked at the watch in the house, and the other went out to start the car.
"We slipped out under the pretext of cleaning up the goblins in the garden, and this car was also secretly driven." Ron explained, "Dude, we're taking a big risk to pick you up. ”
Harry nodded movingly, "If you are seen by Muggles, you will be punished, right?" ”
"It's nothing to do with Muggles, Harry. Our dear mother, she is overly protective. Fred said, "If we don't hurry, you'll see how angry she is." ”
"Kano, are you going with us?" Ron invited.
"Forget it, I've only been back from your house for a few days. And with two people and a bunch of luggage, your old Ford is going to be crammed like a sardine can. ”
Kano shook his head and declined the Weasleys' invitation, he didn't want to disturb Harry's first meeting with his family.
"This car has been magically expanded and won't be crowded. But what you said also makes sense, your mother has been talking about how gentle and polite you have been in the past few days. Ron shrugged, "Just give us some time to catch our breath." ”
Harry ran back to Dursley's house, quickly packing his bags amid Uncle Vernon's roar.
"Wizards have bad taste." Vernon yelled, "It's a tattered old Ford." ”
Harry stuffed his luggage into the car and jumped into the back seat. The old Ford, who had been parked there safely, was directly raised in place and disappeared into the sky.
Vernon stared blankly at the sky and opened his mouth wide.
Harry was gone, and Kano stood in the courtyard and waved, continuing his peaceful holiday life.
"I almost forgot, I had to make an appointment with the Weasleys to go to Diagon Alley to buy books."
Kano muttered as he wrote a letter to Kreacher and told him to turn it back and deliver it.
After all, on that day, Lucius would throw the Horcrux journal into Ginny's crucible, and Kano was going to seize the opportunity to intercept it.
A few days later, Errol, the half-dead owl of Ron's family, brought a reply, and at the same time, the owls sent by Hogwarts also sent a list of books for the new semester.
This year's Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is Gildero. Lockhart, a villain who uses the Oblivion Charm to wash away other people's memories and then claim their heroic deeds.
Of course, apart from being proficient in the Oblivion Charm, he has other advantages. He is very proficient in the operation of the fan circle, and has packaged himself as a handsome and talented charismatic wizard. In addition, his writing is also good, and those other people's deeds are described in his pen.
Anyway, he was also a Ravenclaw graduate. Even if the magic strength is not good, the brain is still enough.
But now, Kano frowned as he looked at the row of "non-fiction" novels he had written and used as teaching materials.
Is it too much to blatantly let students brush up on their own sales?
You must know that his books are not cheap, and at this point in time, his reputation is so good that it is not easy to buy second-hand ones.
"Kreacher? How many wizards do you know who do dirty work? Kano pursed his lips and decided to stumble on the narcissistic guy.
"Little master, it depends on your needs." Kreacher asked, "Is it murder or masked robbery?" ”
"No, not really..."Kano pinched the bridge of his nose, "just connect me with a small character whose hands and feet are not very clean, but who don't have the courage to kill people and sell goods." ”
"Go buy me another set of Gildero. Lockhart's list of books returned, along with two automatic quills. ”
Kreacher took the order, and Kano dug out a thick phone book from his home and found a printing shop.
Turning the telephone dial in a somewhat rusty way, Kano called the printing house.
"Well, yes, a couple of fantasy novels, not ready to be published."
"Only 100 copies of each volume are printed, and relatives and friends distribute them to take a look."
"Paid interviews? Yes, I'll talk about it when I give you the original. ”
Kano hung up, and Kreacher came back with a stack of Lockhart's books. Kano cast a spell on the automatic quills, causing them to quickly copy Lockhart's book.
After all, those moving photos can't be given to the printing house.
"Little master, there's a man named Mundungus. Fleckie's guy, should fit your requirements. ”
Kano also remembered this man. Mundungus is a low-level figure in wizarding society, and although he is not so evil as to squat in Azkaban, he is definitely not a good person when it comes to detail.
However, he used to serve the Order of the Phoenix, and he could often inquire about some hidden information that could not be heard through normal channels.
It should be said that he is a guy who has a small loss, but still has a little sense of justice in his heart.
"That's it. Tell him that there is a small business to talk to him about. ”
