Chapter Twenty-Five: Old Lovegood Is a Strange Man!
After shopping for clothes, Sirius took Harley and Hermione on a good walk around Diagon Alley, and turned off a path where no one usually guided them to a jewelry store.
Needless to say, Sirius, who has a lot of money, simply ordered a large number of precious jewelry, vowing to carry out the local tyrants and losers to the end.
After returning to Black's house, Sirius also told the two:
"You won't need those dresses, robes, and custom jewelry anytime soon, so I'll send you an owl when the time comes."
"I need to go to Gringotts' vault. If my memory is correct, there are still some precious gems in those piles of gems in the Black family's vault. ”
"If you polish them into diamond rings and attach them to magic, they will look great."
"If I really don't have any good magic accessories, I'll go find the goblins and buy them!"
"There's no need, Sirius." Hallie opened her mouth to dissuade,
"On my birthday last month, Nicol said I could provide him with jewelry, and he personally helped me attach magic and alchemy to it."
"His skills are not much worse than those of the average goblin."
"Huh? All right. Sirius was stunned for a moment, then nodded,
"That's fine. As long as the time comes. ”
Immediately afterward, Sirius closed his mouth, stopped talking, and deliberately flipped through the newspaper.
Apparently, he was waiting for Harley and Hermione's curiosity to spark and ask why Hogwarts was asking them to order robes, and what was the use of buying jewelry.
But Harley and Hermione didn't even ask.
Fleur has revealed the information of the Triwizard Tournament to the two, so this custom costume and jewelry must have been used in a ballroom dance in this competition, is this still worth guessing?
But this made Sirius very depressed, and he felt that he was missing a lot of fun.
Sirius had planned to follow the tradition of the British wizarding world and wait for Harley to answer nothing, admiring the curiosity of the two of them!
As a result, Hallie and Hermione didn't ask anything...... Damn! It's all because they're so mature and steady!
…………
In a flash, it was September 1st, and the sky began to rain heavily at 6 o'clock in the morning.
Harley didn't get on the train early today.
Of course, this is all because the sole heir of the Black family, who does not want to be named, has overslept and is a little slow, and he still wants to send Hallie.
The crumb witch would never admit that she wanted to stay in bed for a while because of the heavy rain and the comfortable human-shaped pillow in her arms.
In fact, strictly speaking, Harley arrived at the station not too late, she and Hermione arrived at King's Cross station at half past ten.
But compared to the original eight o'clock on the train between the two...... Indeed, there is still a big gap.
After arriving at Nine and Three-Quarters Station, there were not many Hogwarts students and parents here.
But they all set their sights on Halle's group, Harley to be precise.
After such a big scandal in the World Cup, Fudge once again chose to pull Harley out to promote a positive image of the Ministry of Magic.
The fact that Harley had arrested so many rioters by herself was also pulled out for repeated propaganda.
Of course, Hallie is also happy to see this situation, after all, this kind of opportunity to take advantage of both ends is still precious.
Although Harley had been living in Black's mansion and had not gone out, Sirius had made several trips to the Ministry of Magic on behalf of Harley.
And Rita respectfully asked the boss for instructions through the marker, so she dared to continue to work and write fancy articles touting Harley.
And this has led to the current situation - now Halle is a complete household name in the United Kingdom, and even has a lot of fame abroad.
Many parents were tiptoeing and trying to see the legendary Harry Potter live.
There was a burst of whispering around, and even many students or parents wanted to run over to shake hands with Harley, or even ask for autographs.
Fortunately, Harley was agile enough, and it rained heavily that day, which seriously obstructed the view of the others, so that Hallie and Hermione were able to successfully board the train.
After pulling open the last compartment of the train, Hermione threw her luggage on the luggage rack and slumped down on the couch:
"Why are these people so crazy? It feels like a Muggle starchaser! ”
"You dare to say that I'm not as influential in the wizarding world as Muggle stars right now?" Hallie asked rhetorically.
Hermione thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, Harley, I didn't expect you to be so famous now." ”
The two of them waved their wands, quickly dissipating the moisture on their bodies and luggage.
After drying out the damp T-shirt that was close to the skin and changing into wizard robes, the two leaned back in their seats, quietly admiring the rain and chatting with each other.
It was nearly eleven o'clock when Hallie saw through the heavy rain that the Weasleys had rushed into the station at breakneck speed, and quickly loaded many suitcases onto the bus.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the box.
Ginny opened the door and cautiously poked her head in, "Sister Hallie, Sister Hermione, I'm here!" ”
During the Quidditch World Cup final, Hermione invited the little girl to come to the box at the end of the train when school started, if she had time.
Hermione thoughtfully stood up and moved next to Harry, making room for Ginny.
Hedwig, who had entered the station with Hallie because of the heavy rain, yawned and changed to a position of standing in the cage.
She finds it very interesting to read the psychology of the "actors" by observing the facial expressions and body details of the "actors" below.
"Sister Hallie, can I call Luna Lovegood to this carriage as well?"
After the little girl put away her luggage, she didn't have time to dry her clothes, so she asked in a low voice,
"She doesn't have any friends in Ravenclaw, and when I passed by a box just now, I saw that she was sitting alone."
"I have a good relationship with her, can you invite her over?"
Harley suddenly remembered the little girl she had been inspired by in her second grade, but that girl seemed to have an unpleasant quarrel with Hermione, and the two were almost naturally at odds with each other.
So Hallie turned her head to look at Hermione, and her eyes happened to collide with Hermione's.
"Of course not," Harley retracted her gaze and nodded slightly, "You call her over." ”
"Thank you, sister." The little girl said sweetly, jumped up from the chair and rushed out of the box door.
After a while, she pulled the little girl with pale blonde hair to the door of the box.
Hallie helped Ginny put Luna's luggage on the luggage rack and helped the two of them dry their wet robes.
In the process, Hallie glanced at the magazine that Luna had been reluctant to put down, and almost couldn't hold back a smile when she saw the contents on it.
Hallie has now figured out that the editor of the journal called "Singing the Opposite" is Luna's old father, Xenophilius Lovegood.
In the mouths of Lavender and Parvati, the journal was seen by girls as entertainment and fantasy reading, similar to the Muggle magazine's "Joke Book".
Hallie has also watched a few episodes, and I have to say that Mr. Lovegood Sr. has a really big brain.
For example, the Minister of Magic, Fudge, inexplicably has an army of fire elves, Sirius Black's actual identity is the lead singer of the Naughty Goblin Band, and other strange content.
In this World Cup, the old Lovegood has made a new job -
He claimed in the magazine that he had received top-secret information.
The Bulgarian national team will fail this time because their mascot is Mei Wa!
I don't know if the elder Lovegood saw Rita's article published in the newspaper, especially at the end of the article, so he made this association.
Hallie really wanted to show ...... Miss Meiwa is not guilty of this!
Hallie complained silently as she returned to her place.
The train was quickly set up and out of platform nine and three-quarters.
Harley slung the magic book upside down in her lap and held her chin with one hand, admiring the rainy green hills outside the window.
Hermione flipped through the spellbook, and Luna continued to bury her head behind Contrarian.
Ginny looked left and right, and finally chose to flip through today's Daily Prophet.
In the silence, there was a sudden knock on the door of the box.
Upon receiving a response, the Weasley twins' striking heads squeezed in, followed by Lee, the Quidditch narrator.
"Fred, George, what are you doing here?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Of course, we are looking for our major shareholders to discuss something important!" Fred rubbed his sister's head and said with a grin,
"Why do you think we were able to hide so much material under your bed during the summer vacation? And not because of the benevolent Miss Hallie, who gave us a large sum of money! ”
Hallie's gaze immediately moved back from the window, and she glanced at Fred and George in some shock.
At the time of the Quidditch World Cup, the Weasley twins revealed that their results in the ordinary wizard level exam were not satisfactory.
So Mrs. Weasley seriously suspected that the two had unknown passwords, and launched several searches of the home.
The two of them were showing off to Harry, and Mrs. Weasley had searched under Ron's bed, but still couldn't find the materials they used to make magic props.
Harley thought that the two of them were really using some kind of superb magic or clever magic items to conceal themselves.
Outcome...... They actually stuffed these things into their own sister! There really are them!
"Ahem, Her Majesty the Great Lion Queen!" George looked at his major shareholder, still with that indecent look,
"Your loyal courtier wants to come to you for some advice."
"So, Weasley and Weasley." Harley has nothing to do, so she accompanies the two to act.
She leaned lazily against the window, her head resting on her shoulder, one hand raised slightly.
Harley's eyes didn't look at the two of them, but admired her wrist, "What's going on?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, we have already made a batch of interesting props in July and August."
Fred follows the rules of role-play exactly,
"Now we're ready to sell these prank items, and Lee will do us a favor as well. As for the funds returned, we are ready to continue to use them for the research and development of new magic items. ”
"Got it." Harley still nodded lazily,
"This king said that the money is the dream of investing in the two Aiqing, and the two Aiqing can decide for themselves."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fred and George fell to their knees on one knee in an exaggerated manner, then immediately got up and exited the door.
Before leaving, they also pulled away Li, who was full of confusion.
Looking at Lee's expression, it was obvious that he was a little confused.
I was inexplicably dragged over by the twin brothers, and I was dragged back inexplicably, what the hell is the picture?
What about playing?
With the presence of Fred and George, the quiet atmosphere in the box is shattered.
Ginny curiously asks Hallie about the careers of her two brothers, and is even more surprised to hear that Hallie has funded such a large sum of gold Galleons from the two.
The conversation in the carriage began to shift, with Ginny and Hermione chatting about the recent events in the Ministry of Magic that Mr. Weasley had revealed to his family.
"Fudge is so busy! If he hadn't been desperately promoting Sister Hallie in the Daily Prophet, he would have been drowned out in yelling letters! ”
Ginny began to imitate the tone of her father's voice,
"Oh, I wish Connelly had used his brain before he ran errands, so he wouldn't make so much of a mess!"
After the imitation, the little girl smiled and leaned back and held her stomach vigorously.
"It's not that he doesn't have brains, but he wants to corrupt the Ministry of Magic!" Luna interjects abruptly and begins to elaborate on Fudge's "Rotten Fangs" plot.
While shopping for snacks at noon, Harley sees the Weasley twins again.
The two of them followed behind the snack cart, and the people in a box had just finished buying snacks on their front feet, and they squeezed over on their back feet and took the initiative to introduce their products.
I have to say that this method of the two is very effective, and the young wizards of Hogwarts are also unable to bear the loneliness.
In addition, the Weasley twins' resounding reputation for being good at pranks is known to everyone in Hogwarts, so the probability of success is very high.
I have to say, the Weasley twin brothers are really geniuses!

(ps. suddenly thought of a problem, judging from the plot in the fourth Goblet of Fire, wizards don't understand Muggle costumes, they don't know how to wear T-shirts and shorts in the summer, and some people even get a padded jacket.) )
(So what do they normally wear under their robes?) Don't tell me to wear underwear. Especially in winter, isn't it cold for a little wizard who doesn't know magic? )
Written by book friends, recommend it.
