Chapter 441: Dumbledore's Arrangement
Hermione glanced at Koyatl a little more.
I found that the other party did not make any action.
Still leaning against the window, looking out at the scenery.
Seeing this, the embarrassment in her heart dissipated a little.
Then, the little witch leaned forward and whispered, "It's a sense of security." ”
"A sense of security?" Ron looked at Hermione puzzled.
Hermione hurriedly motioned for him to speak quieter.
"Didn't you even notice? She always felt detached when she was with us, not because she didn't trust us.
I think it's a form of self-preservation, and given her past, it's normal for such psychological problems to occur. Hermione continued to whisper, "It's only when I'm talking to you that it's natural and relaxed. ”
"Is there one?" Ron rubbed his head.
"Yes!" Even Harry nodded.
Xu is that after he and Ginny started dating secretly, he added a lot of emotional intelligence, and now he can see this.
"And it's obvious." Harry affirmed.
"Look-" Owen spread his hands, "so young man, seize the opportunity." If you miss it, you really miss it. ”
"I" Ron panicked, his eyes couldn't stop looking at the seat across from them.
But I don't know what to do.
Owen understands that this is the time to give an assist.
He turned his head sideways, and a pair of emerald green eyes stared straight at Justin across from him.
Justin, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, immediately noticed Owen's projected gaze.
His expression froze, and he didn't know why.
After intertwining his gaze with Owen a few times, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then quickly got up and gave up his seat.
"Up!" Owen said. With a smug smile on his face.
"Huh?" Ron frowned.
Above?
On what?
Harry grabbed it.
Then he dragged and kicked it to the opposite side.
A set of combos is very silky, and it can be seen that he has wanted to do this for a long time.
Justin sat down, and he and Ron swapped places.
In this way, the atmosphere on the other side suddenly became strange.
Hannah understands it.
She lied, got up and left her seat, and walked a few rows back to find Susan.
As for the rest of Ernie, he almost got up with Justin.
He walked a few rows ahead to find Zacharis and Neville.
"Woo~~~"
At this moment, the train suddenly sounded its horn.
A large amount of steam wafted through the sides.
The water vapor instantly obscured the vision of the little wizards, but after that moment.
The vast fields showed the beauty of the little wizards.
The warm wind blew the green grass stretching out, and the sound of 'rustling' sounded like ocean waves.
In the distance, there seemed to be a Muggle town, with the silhouette of the eaves looming under tall oak trees.
The smell of flowers and people came from the wind.
A feeling of comfort suddenly burst through my heart.
Owen couldn't help but hold the hand of the girl next to him even tighter.
They didn't say a word.
Justin and Harry in front of them were long gone.
One might go to Susan, and the other should go to Ginny's carriage.
Well, it's youth.
Just like the field outside the window, it is full of charm that will never fade.
In that wilderness, there will always be men and women who want to explore.
"Bang Bang-"
The train continued to move.
The two on the opposite side never spoke.
They sat facing each other, leaning against the window, like wood.
There was silence – until the train pulled into King's Cross Station.
When the train pulled into London, Harry came with Ginny.
When he saw that Ron and Koatl were still in the same position they had before leaving, he thought that the matchmaking was a failure.
Owen and Hermione didn't think so, though, and if they had failed, they wouldn't have sat together for hours, they just didn't speak.
The train stopped.
When the conductor signals that they can safely pass through the magic barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
A group of people were waiting outside to greet them.
Owen sees the Weasleys, and the Grangers.
They crowded at the front of the crowd.
He also met Luna's father, Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood.
Hannah's father, Mr. Abbott.
Finally, there's Neville's grandmother, Mrs. Augusta.
At this time, she changed her usual serious expression, smiled, and stood in the crowd.
Neville walked briskly, past them.
"See you in September." He said to Owen, Harry, Hermione, and the other young wizards.
"Happy summer vacation. Have fun. Owen responded.
Neville held a flower pot in both hands with a strange plant growing inside.
Qu Yicao - Professor Sprout spent a semester not discovering any effect on this amazing plant, but the plant makes a cheerful sound when someone passes by it.
The professor thought it was an ornamental plant, and many of them were transplanted in the Hufflepuff Lounge.
Neville asked for one, and judging by his cheerful steps, he must have intended him to bring this happy-making plant to his parents.
After half a year of treatment – the Lombards had come to their senses a few months ago.
They are still living in the Rozier Hospital for the Disabled, and although they are awake, their souls are not so easy to recover, and they need to recuperate for a long time.
This summer vacation should be their last time in the hospital.
"Ron, Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley called their names warmly, then walked briskly, then hugged her baby tightly, "Oh! And dear Harry, well- it's a pleasure to see you, kid. ”
She hugged Koyatl into her arms again, "I've cleaned up the room. I don't know what you like, so I can only follow Ginny's style. ”
"That's enough." Koyatl said flatly.
"Mom—" The twins walked up.
"Did you pick us up from the goblin cave?"
"Oh—of course not." Mrs. Weasley pressed the twins' heads and kissed them on the forehead before pulling them off the platform.
Mr. Arthur also came to help, and the busy family was happy.
Harry looked at it with envy.
As the crowd slowly dispersed, he suddenly noticed something unexpected waiting for him on the other side.
At least they're looking at themselves.
There's Mad-Eyed Moody, who wears a bowler hat that's pressed low enough to obscure his magical eyes, and looks as vicious as he did without a hat, with a long wooden staff in his rough-skinned hands and a fat traveling cloak over his body.
Tonks stood right behind him, sunlight pouring through the dark glass on the platform's ceiling, her bubblegum-pink hair glistening in the sunlight, a pair of patched jeans, and a bright purple T-shirt with a wacky sister vocal group pattern.
Next to Tonks was Lupin, who had a smile on his face and a brown Muggle suit draped over an overcoat.
He was waving at Harry.
"Hello, Harry." Professor Lupin stepped forward and greeted Harry.
Mrs. Weasley was greeting Hermione.
"Hello." Harry answered, "Why are you here?" In fact, he wanted to ask, was he here to pick him up?
"Oh," Lupin smiled lightly, "we're here for Sirius—he's in the Far East right now.
There's a new department in the Federation, you know, Dumbledore wants me to be involved in managing it—I'm travelling through London to Sweden.
But now that we've met, I think you should talk to your aunt and uncle briefly before they bring you home. ”
"I don't think it's a good idea." Harry replied immediately.
"Oh, I don't think so." Moody smiled noncommittally and cruelly, "Can they be tougher than Scrimgeour can handle?" ”
"That's them, right, Potter?" He pointed his thumb back from his shoulder, his magical eyes apparently peering through the back of his head and bowler hat, peering at something behind. Harry leaned slightly to the left, looking in the direction the Mad-Eye was pointing.
Sure enough, the three members of the Dursley family were watching the greeting party of a group of wizards over there.
"Hmm!" Harry nodded.
Owen also stopped and watched with interest.
Moody, who received an affirmative answer, walked towards the Dursleys, along with Professor Lupin and Mr. Arthur.
"Good afternoon," Mr. Weasley was the first to speak, "you should remember me, I'm Arthur Weasley." ”
Mr. Arthur had gone to their house two years earlier and had taken Harry to the Burrow.
To make it easier for him to have someone from the Ministry of Magic connect the Dursleys' fireplace to the Ministry of Magic's Floo network.
Unfortunately, what Mr. Arthur didn't know was that most of the Muggle family's fireplaces were furnishings, so it was clear that he was stuck in the woods when he used Floo.com to get to the Dursleys.
In order to break free, Mr. Arthur had to use a spell to blow up the Dursleys' fireplace, destroying their living room.
Vernon certainly remembers it vividly. I will never forget it in my life.
Sure enough, after hearing that name.
Harry's Uncle Vernon suddenly turned gloomy and stared at Mr. Weasley viciously. But he didn't say a word, it could be that with so many wizards around, he knew that he didn't have any advantage.
Aunt Petunia was also frightened and embarrassed, and frequently looked around, as if afraid that an acquaintance would see that she was with such a person. Dudley, meanwhile, seemed to be trying to shrink his body so that he could look smaller, but his efforts were in vain.
"We thought it compelled to tell you a brief conversation about Harry." Weasley said, still smiling on his face.
"Not bad." Moody whispered, "The main thing is his security work next." ”
"Safe?" Vernon's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, "What do you mean, that freak I mean Harry, is a danger to our family?" ”
"We don't know!" Moody roared, "It's because I don't know what's going to happen that I'm going to be on guard!" ”
That's what Dumbledore meant - he was so confident in his hidden magic that Harry's mother had left him that the magic of love still existed, so there were no accidents in theory - but, who knows?
The world is becoming more and more unknowable, full of gods and ghosts, maybe Voldemort and the Death Eaters have something they have never seen before?
"It's not just Harry." Moody continued, his MONOCULUS spinning wildly before landing on Hermione. "Granger needs protection too."
"Huh?" Hermione, who was greeting Mrs. Weasley, walked over with a puzzled face.
"Protect me?"
"That's right!" Professor Lupin said, "But someone is responsible for your safety." ”
"Wait a minute!" Vernon was puffing up, his anger seemed to outweigh his fear of the wizard in front of him, "I can't let my family take risks!" If there's any danger, you should take him with you!" ”
"Hmph—Dumbledore has already discussed this with you!" Moody said, "Harry has to live in your house for at least more than a month a year. ”
"I don't understand—" Vernon said aloud. provoked passers-by to turn their heads.
The Granger couple walked over.
"You don't need to understand. Because it's hard for me to explain to you why. "You just need to know that this is a magical contract left by Harry's mother, and that her son must stay with his blood relatives. ”
With that, Moody moved his bowler hat back, revealing his fierce face and swirling MAGIC Eye. "Also, don't think we don't know about your mistreatment of Harry. I'm telling you, if you do anything like that, we're going to take action right away. ”
"Tonks." He turned his head to look at the Aurors who were greeting the Grangers, who were curious about her pink hair.
"Harry, Tonks is in charge of protecting you."
"What?" Harry wasn't even the slightest bit prepared for the sudden change around him - why would Dumbledore arrange this all of a sudden?
This made him slightly unhappy, because the principal still regarded him as a child - he could protect himself!
But—out of respect for Dumbledore, Harry finally nodded.
And Owen - he probably guessed why Dumbledore did this.
It should have been what happened in the Brazilian Divine Grant Tower that stimulated the professor, he didn't want any more young wizards to be injured, and he had to put an end to this kind of thing, even if it was just to prevent it from happening.
On the other side, Hermione's expression was also very confused.
She walked over to Owen and whispered to him if he knew why.
Owen shook his head, just telling her of his guesses.
The Granger couple on the side, they frowned slightly.
They could guess why their daughter needed protection.
Hermione got so many medals last year, and they weren't stupid.
Medals are merit - naturally there is another side to it - the enemy.
No one can hurt Hermione at school - but on the outside world?
Seriously, the Granger couple were thankful for the wizards' protection of their daughter—at least they didn't do anything.
Of course, in addition to these, what made their brows continue to frown was the intimate appearance of their daughter with a beautiful and unpleasant child.
"That's supposed to be a girl!" Mrs. Granger whispered in her husband's ear.
They had seen Owen in Egypt before, but it was only a brief contact, and Hermione was afraid to say his name, so she never spoke about him in detail.
At that time, they were quite happy, their daughter had a new boyfriend, and she looked at least much better than the previous one.
But now—after taking a closer look at Owen.
A terrible thought arose in the hearts of the Grangers.
This boyfriend. It doesn't look very obvious
Mr. Granger tilted his head and glanced at his wife, the same concern in his eyes.
They looked at each other.
Then he immediately stepped forward, took Hermione's hand without saying anything, and was about to leave without stopping.
This made Hermione feel strange.
Hurriedly spoke, "What's going on?" ”
"Hmm-" After a moment's thought, she guessed that her parents might be worried about her safety, "there's nothing dangerous here." ”
The Grangers, who heard Hermione's explanation, did not stop, but walked faster.
Owen was going to say hello.
As a result, he was not given a chance to speak at all.
But—didn't wait for the Grangers to take a few steps.
A man suddenly walked up against the tide of departing travelers.
The man's steps are steady and powerful, his posture is tall and proud, and his demeanor is calm.
Wearing a dark blue vest, the texture is delicate, and it is inlaid with subtle dark lines, which is low-key and gorgeous.
White shirt with a delicate tie hanging quietly at the neckline.
He was clad in a black robe lined with intricate silver runes.
The man looked like he was in his fifties.
His gray hair did not bring him old age, but made him more mature and stable.
At this time, he was walking slowly with his hands behind his back.
Eyes were on Hermione.
"Mr. Ggrindelwald?" Hermione's eyes widened in shock as she looked at the legendary wizard who had suddenly appeared in front of their family.
"Hmm-" Grindelwald nodded, and a deep voice rang out, "You should change your name, Miss Granger." ”
"Uh" Hermione was stunned, and then realized what she should be called.
At this time, the surrounding wizards all turned their heads.
Professor Lupin, Moody's, Tonks, Mr. Arthur, etc., all had surprises in their eyes.
"Hello, sir." Mr. Granger frowned slightly, the man in front of him must have a prominent family background. Because temperament doesn't deceive.
"Hello." Grindelwald held out his hand.
Mr. Granger shook his head at him.
"The kid over there, call me: Grandpa." He said. "To be sure, he's a boy."
“.” Hermione froze again, then realized why her parents had reacted so much.
She covered her mouth and snickered, glancing back at Owen.
"That"
"Magic – always comes with accidents, such as growing long hair that can't be cut, and I'm sure it's only temporary." "Of course—some things have to be up to the kids, don't they?" ”
"Hmm-" Mr. Granger had noticed, and in just a few seconds, his daughter had turned back several times.
Sure enough, I grew up.
"You're right."
"If we have time, let's have a good chat." Grindelwald said casually. "Also, the child's grandmother invited your family to travel to France for the summer."
"There, this kid will be safe," he said slowly. ”
In an instant, Hermione knew what Professor Moody had just said that her safety was complicated by someone else's, and who this other person was referring to.
That was Irving's grandmother, Ms. Rozier, of course.
"Well—" Mr. Granger pondered for a moment, looked at his daughter and wife, and then smiled in response, "we don't seem to have a reason to decline this invitation. ”
This first meeting of the wizard gave them a good impression.
Although he was not as welcoming as the Weasleys, he was much friendlier than most wizards in the wizarding world.
When they accompanied Hermione to Diagon Alley to shop before, the gossip in their ears never stopped.
Grindelwald smiled and nodded.
Miss Granger's parents were among the few very intelligent Muggles he had come into contact with, and they were clever enough to see Hermione's future, knowing that their daughter would inevitably have a place in the wizarding world, and that they would inevitably be disconnected from the mundane world.
As parents, they encourage their daughter and actively engage her with the wizarding world.
If her daughter can't fit into the wizarding world, then she will become neither here nor there.
Abandoned by two worlds is an absolute disaster.
This is where the Granger couple are truly wise.
A lot of people can't see this clearly.
But it's also - how can parents be stupid to give birth to such a smart daughter?
The parties reached a verbal agreement.
Then they separated.
"I didn't expect you to come. Is this a good thing? ”
After watching Hermione's family leave.
After saying goodbye to Harry, Owen spoke to Grindelwald.
"Bad thing!" The man said bluntly.
"Guessed."
"Let's go." Grindelwald stretched out his hand, Owen held it without hesitation, and the next second, the two disappeared in place.
