The next day.

King's Cross Station is as lively as ever, but today it was a special group of passengers who hurried from platform to platform in unusual outfits.

What's even more striking is that they always see a large bird cage with various species of owls in their luggage cart.

Some of the new guards looked at them curiously, but many more of the old guards looked surprised.

It's like this every year, probably somewhere there's an owl festival going on, they're used to it.

On platform 9, a red steam train is parked next to it, and it is full of parents picking up and dropping off their children.

"Thank you for sending me here, Dobby." Kyle said as he looked at the house-elf beside him.

Kyle had wanted to take the Knight's Bus because of the start of school today, but Dobby said he could drop him off.

The advantage of this is that you can go directly to the platform without passing through the station, which can be said to be quite convenient.

"Dobby is glad to be able to help Mr. Kyle." The elf said happily.

"Harry hasn't arrived yet, are you going to wait a while?" Kyle looked at the time, "It's probably just a few minutes." ”

Dobby was a little moved, but after a moment of struggle, he shook his head.

"No, Dobby still has a lot of work to do today, and the Invisible Beast needs to be taken care of." The elf said, "Can Mr. Kyle say hello to Harry Potter on Dobby's behalf?" ”

"Absolutely."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the elf saluted happily and disappeared from the spot.

"Kyle!"

Connor walked over from not far away with a suitcase, "When did you arrive, why didn't I see you coming in through the station entrance." ”

"The house-elves sent me." Kyle said. "Transfiguration through apparitions."

"It's so convenient." Connor said.

Soon, Cedric and Cho also arrived.

The Weasleys still hadn't arrived, and the group decided to get a seat on the train first.

Because it was almost time to leave, they walked from the front of the car to the back of the car, and finally found an empty box.

"How's your holiday going?" Qiu put the salute on the shelf and said with a depressed face: "I have been at home for two months, and my mother originally said that she was going to take me on a trip to Sydney, but it was ruined because of work problems. ”

"I went to Hampshire, where my grandfather was." "My dad said it wasn't going to be a good time lately and insisted on letting me go there and didn't pick me up until yesterday afternoon. ”

"By the way, Kyle." He turned his head, "I heard you received a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic, what's going on?" ”

"Did you get a warning letter?" Connor asked, a little nervously.

"How do you know?" Kyle asked, "I guess the newspapers didn't report on it." ”

"My dad said that." Cedric said, "Yesterday I got him drunk and asked a lot about the Ministry of Magic. ”

“……”

Well, what a good son of Mr. Diggory.

"Nothing." Kyle gave Cedric a speechless look, then shook his head, "It's all settled, it's just a misunderstanding." ”

"I guess it must have something to do with the mystery man." Connor said, "I've read the Daily Prophet, which says every day that Dumbledore was a madman, and apparently the Ministry of Magic doesn't want to admit that the mystery man has returned, and that's why you've been involved." ”

"That's true." "But the good thing is that it's settled. ”

A loud whistle sounded.

"The train is leaving." Cedric opened the window and poked his head out to take a look, "Strange, why haven't Fred and George come yet, Kyle, aren't you with them?" ”

Kyle shook his head. "No, I'm coming alone."

He also thought it was a little strange, according to Mrs. Weasley's character, it was impossible for her to arrive so late.

A few minutes later, there was another loud whistle and the train started gradually.

"It seems that they are really late." Qiu couldn't help but frown.

"No, they're coming!"

Kyle subconsciously looks outside, and just as the train is about to leave the station, Fred and George finally appear.

At the last moment, they moved into the carriage.

"Whew...... It's finally here. Fred leaned against the box door, gasping for air.

"What's going on?" Kyle handed him a bottle of pumpkin soda, "Harry, it's just the two of you." ”

"Moody's was attacked." Fred took a big sip of pumpkin soda and said, "It was this morning that a Death Eater broke into his house. ”

"How's Professor Moody?" Cedric asked.

"I was hurt, but fortunately it wasn't a big deal." George said, "Stoic happened to be looking for him and saw the Curse fly over his head. ”

"It's dangerous, isn't it?" "Moody was almost killed," Fred said. ”

"It's not that easy." "Don't forget that Professor Moody is the most famous Auror, and the Death Eaters didn't kill him so easily. ”

"Perhaps." George said. "Then it was thought that the Death Eaters were most likely ambushing near King's Cross Station, preparing to attack Harry, so they were extra cautious on the road."

"But no one pays attention to the ...... of time"

"By the time we got to King's Cross Station, we were late."

"George and I were the fastest." Fred said, "But Harry, they salute too much. ”

As he spoke, he poked his head out of the window and glanced out.

But by this time, the train had already gone far away, and there was no sign of the platform behind it.

"Oops, I don't know how Ginny is going to get to school."

"It's a pity that we can't apparilate with people yet."

"Don't worry." Kyle said, "There's an adult, they must have a way to get Ginny to Hogwarts." ”

"That's right." George came over to Cedric and sat down, "Mommy won't watch Ginny and Ron be late. ”

"I just don't know what they're going to do." Fred also sat next to him, "Wait George, did you think Sirius's new car could fly?" ”

The two were stunned at the same time.

"If that's the case," said George...... said dryly, "I'm going to have trouble sleeping at night." ”

"Me too."

"It's not easy, won't you ask when you get to school?" "But don't you wonder why the Death Eaters attacked Professor Moody out of the blue. ”

"Maybe I want to ask him about Harry's whereabouts." George sighed, "Everyone knows that the mystery man has always wanted to get rid of Harry. ”

"But we can't figure out why Professor Moody." "He's obviously a tough guy," Fred said. ”

"You say...... Could it have something to do with the curse of Defence Against the Dark Arts? Qiu hesitated, "It's weird, isn't it?" Both professors from last school year were fine, something that had never happened before. ”

Listening to Qiu say this, everyone found that it seemed that there was really such a possibility.

Indeed, in previous decades, every Defence Against the Dark Arts professor could only teach for one year, but Moody and Sirius managed to make it to the end of the school year and leave Hogwarts with everyone during the holidays.

At first, everyone thought that the two professors had shared the curse with each other, but the day before the start of school, Moody was suddenly attacked.

If there is no relationship between the two, it would be a bit too coincidental.
