Chapter 140: Am I a Dharma God?
Harry looked at the expression on Penny's face, it was an expression so complex that he couldn't even put it into words.
The hustle and bustle around has nothing to do with here, as if an invisible wall divides this small corner into two worlds.
Driven by inexplicable emotions, Harry asked:
"Penny. Auntie, would you like to visit Hogwarts? β
He regretted it, because at Aunt Vernon's funeral he knew how Penny felt about Hogwarts, a love-hate affair.
Even after so many years, it is still a scar in her heart.
Just as Harry was secretly feeling annoyed, he suddenly heard Aunt Penny's voice:
"Okayβ"
Harry looked up at her in surprise, and Petunia continued:
"Maybe it's time for me to put an end to that unfinished dream I had as a child."
Harry was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"So Mr. Lucius came from somewhere else on a special Floo network?"
Zhang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, in the end, it was the 'Fox Family', and he wondered why Lucius was suddenly so bold that he dared to run back to the UK.
It turned out that he directly smashed a secret passage with money and came back.
But even so, Zhang Xiao still feels quite a plus for Lucius's return, after all, Lucius is still in the top few of Voldemort's revenge list.
Now Lucius is fully committed to Dumbledore's camp, and only if Dumbledore's camp completely destroys Voldemort, he can return to England in the bright light.
Otherwise, you can only nest in China.
Lucius is happy with his current life, with the focus on his wife, Narcissa, who is even more satisfied with her life in China.
Narcissa took Malfoy in her arms, and with a smile on her face, a little more relaxed than when she was in England:
"I'm very satisfied with my life now, there is no strife, it's comfortable, the food is delicious, and it's a very nice place.
Draco, Mom and Dad are very comfortable there, don't worry about us, you yourself are safe in school, or come to Mom and Dad after you graduate. β
Malfoy tilted his head in displeasure, dodging Narcissa's hand that had been stroking his hair:
"I'm not going, I'm going to stay, revive Slytherin! I'm going to be the Minister of Magic! β
Zhang Xiao couldn't help laughing, you kid still dare to want to be the Minister of Magic?
Hermione glared at you, and she didn't even dare to catch her breath!
Just when everyone was chatting happily, Harry ran over and pulled Zhang Xiao to the side.
Confused, Zhang Xiao followed Harry to a secluded corner, and Malfoy quietly followed.
"You meanβwant to give Penny an unforgettable Hogwarts memory?"
Zhang Xiao tilted her head back, her face wrinkled:
"When did you get on such good terms with your aunt?"
Harry said embarrassedly:
"It's not as good as you think, but-"
His expression darkened a lot, and he was a little pained:
"I hated Aunt Vernon, but I never thought he would die, and Aunt Petunia was actually implicated by me in the church, and even then, Voldemort didn't give in when she threatened her.
Dudley and I have reconciled."
Harry looked up, still a little immature with a seriousness disproportionate to his age:
"I think I should at least try to see Aunt Petunia and Dudley as real family β and I think Mom and Dad would love to see us get along, too."
Zhang Xiao nodded, at this moment, he suddenly felt that Harry had really grown up, and he was no longer the ignorant little boy he met on the train.
After four years of growth, he has moved closer to a reliable man with a sense of responsibility.
"Good! Porter! You've done a good job, and I'm here to help you! β
Malfoy walked out with his hands behind his back, with a small expression of spirit:
"As the future director of Hogwarts, I must have taken Aunt Dursley on a tour of the school, which is already a very high courtesy."
Zhang Xiao glanced at him: "Draco, don't make trouble, I want to think-"
A brilliant idea came out, Zhang Xiao's eyes slowly lit up, and he pushed the pony:
"Do Draco a favor and call Neville, Hermione, Ron over."
After a while, the Hogwarts special team gathered around Zhang Xiao.
"Listen to me, guys, I have a good idea-" Zhang Xiao explained the general situation and explained his plan in everyone's bright eyes.
Then I heard the irrepressible cheers of several people:
"Awesome, Zhang!"
"Genius idea, how did you come up with it?"
"Guys, what are you waiting for? Let's get started, shall we? β
"But we can't do this plan alone, right?" Hermione said hesitantly, her eyes tinged with wistfulness but concern.
"No problem! Leave it to me! β
Zhang Xiao stepped forward at the right time, as the 'Executive Vice Chancellor of Hogwarts, Executive Vice Master of Slytherin', it's time to play her part!
"You go and do the other parts, and I'll leave the hardest ones to me."
Confused, Petunia followed Harry and Zhang Xiao outside, a wizarding village called Hogsmeade.
She was joined by the Grangers and Hermione.
According to the little wizard named Zhang, if you want to visit Hogwarts, then Hogsmeade is a place you should definitely not miss.
Well, in fact, these three ordinary people are really interested in Hogsmeade, but don't they say a good visit to Hogwarts?
It always feels weird
After the 'famous' three broomsticks have finished drinking a glass of butterbeer, Penny finally can't help but ask:
"The game is about to start in the evening, right? When will we be able to visit the school? β
Zhang Xiao listened to the voice from the warrior's exclusive communicator, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Now!"
Harry and Hermione immediately stood up, smiling and walking out with their respective families.
After a while, I came to a modest-looking train platform.
"Oh? Is this where the train stops? Hermione, that's where you got off when you went to school? β
Mr. and Mrs. Granger asked their daughter with interest, regretting that they didn't have a camera with them, and imagining what it would be like for the little wizards to come here.
At this moment, a rough voice suddenly came from not far away:
"First-year students!
First-year students are here! That's right, it's the three of you, hurry up, the dinner is about to begin! β
They looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment, only to see a large man standing in the distance.
Petunia covered her mouth, she had seen this man, it was the big man who had come to pick up Harry at the rocky lighthouse, and it was he who had conjured a pig's tail for his precious son.
But these things were obviously only four years ago, and now in retrospect, it seems like a long, long time has passed.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she followed everyone in a trance.
Hagrid winked at Harry and Zhang, who had not been wearing a suit this time, but had switched back to his old routine.
Wearing an oversized leather coat made of the fur of an unknown animal, he has a shaggy beard and a chandelier in his hand that is almost half a man tall.
"First-year students! Don't be in a daze, change into your robes! β
Zhang Xiao suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Petunia's back, and Petunia staggered forward, as if she had praised the years in her steps.
She was getting smaller, her gray hair was shiny again, and her clothes were changing, with her pink ladies' skirt changing into a well-fitting wizard's school robe.
When Penny arrives in front of Hagrid, she stands there 30 years ago, as if she has traveled through time.
The Granger couple looked at their smaller palms, their own head smaller than their daughter, and their wizarding robes.
"It's amazing, is this magic? Rejuvenation? β
"No, anti-aging potion! In fact, it is only the appearance that has changed, and the effect of the drug is not strong. β
Zhang Xiao made a slight gesture: "Do you remember the butterbeer you drank?" I added a little bit. β
Then he nodded at Hagrid, and the big man understood, and he held up the lantern again:
"Come on, come with me, are there any new first-year students?
Watch out for the soles of your feet, all right! First-year students come with me!"
They followed Hagrid, an experience they had never had before, as if they had really become first-year wizards, stumbling down a slippery path behind Hagrid.
After a while, we came to a small pier.
Hagrid beckoned them to get on the boat, and Harry and Penny Hagrid sat on one (Hagrid was too big for the others to sit)
Zhang Xiao and Hermione, the Granger couple, got on a boat.
"First-year students need to go to the docks to take a boat to Hogwarts, and second-year students don't need to, just take a horse-drawn carriage"
Hagrid hung the lantern on the bow of the boat, and Penny nodded, her immature face with a dream-like expression.
With Hagrid's whistle, the boat moved on its own, causing everyone to exclaim.
Zhang Xiao looked at the distance and took a deep breath, I don't know if it's okay or not, but I'm Zhang Xiao!
The golden light on his body skyrocketed, and there seemed to be a little bit of gold in his eyes, and he shouted, the wand pointed to the sky, celestial magic!
It seemed that it was only a moment of effort, and Zhang Xiao felt like she had stayed up all night.
What is this consumption? Feeling the terrifying drain of energy, I was thinking about whether to stop, but at this moment, I only felt a warm swirl in my chest, and then the celestial magic that I encouraged to maintain was as easy as a lighting spell.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and countless stars shone in the sky.
Petunia and Granger stared at the starry sky in amazement, when the boat turned a corner, and a black lake suddenly appeared in front of them, and on the high hillside on the other side of the lake stood a towering castle, with spires and windows twinkling under the starry sky.
"Is this Hogwarts?"
Penny muttered, two lines of tears running silently down her eyes, and she just stared at the majestic castle of Hogwarts in a daze, motionless.
The boat silently rowed across the mirror-like lake, through the ivy curtain that covered the cliff front, to a secluded open entrance.
"Zhang, how did you do that? Celestial magic! It's amazing! β
Hermione couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart and asked in a low voice.
"I don't knowβfeelβfeelβ" Zhang Xiao frowned and tried to find a suitable adjective, but it was difficult to explain the feeling.
If the energy is your own blue energy, the moment just now, it seems that the energy has been filled up in an instant.
Did I finally break through the bottleneck? Have you become a true Dharma god?
But I didn't do anything!
Zhang Xiao, who was confused, thought hard, but instinctively followed everyone forward.
They reached the door of the Great Hall through a quaint 'mechanical elevator'.
Follow Hagrid up a flight of stone steps and gather in front of a large oak door.
Hagrid stretched out his hand and knocked, and the door immediately opened, and thunderous applause suddenly squeezed out of the door.
I saw that the auditorium, which should have been empty, was full of young wizards, and they were sitting at the long tables of their respective academies.
Desperately let out all kinds of cheers and whistles.
At the other end of the hall, Professor McGonagall stood, dressed in her favorite emerald green robes, with a barstool beside her.
On the stool was an old-looking hat, the Sorting Hat.
Many seats were empty in the faculty chair behind him, and the professors had their own business, but two people sat there unexpectedly.
Dumbledore looked at the scene in front of him happily, and to be honest, Dumbledore was also a little surprised when Zhang Xiao found him to say what he thought.
But after thinking about it, he found the plan interesting, so he readily agreed to cooperate, looking at Penny, who was standing in the doorway.
Dumbledore's eyes seemed to be the same Penny as she had been, writing letter after letter in earnest.
and Severus Snape, whose gaze is extremely complex, as if containing infinite emotions.
"This is," the Granger couple was clearly struck by the scene.
They unconsciously began to get nervous, and even trembled a little nervously.
"Sorting Ceremony!"
Zhang Xiao looked at the full auditorium with satisfaction, saw Cedric Neville, and saw his friends waving triumphantly at him.
Look! What is a row of noodles? What is a special response!
This is the true power of the fruit of face!
Professor McGonagall picked up the parchment, looked at the men at the door with a smile she had never seen before, and said gently:
"Whoever I call by name now puts on his hat and sits on a stool and waits for the Sorting House."
She picked up the parchment, and suddenly remembered the girl, the pride of the Gryffindor, and McGonagall forced the emotions that were surging in her heart.
Said loudly:
"Penny Evans!"
The other end of the gate. Penny burst into tears.
