For breakfast on the first of September, Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, knocked on the door of Room 13 of the Leaky Cauldron Bar with a cup of hot tea as usual.

Matthew, sleepy-eyed, opened the door and took the cup of tea from the grinning old Tom.

He hadn't been treated like this for a few days in the Leaky Cauldron last year...... Maybe it's because I paid for it this year.

After Tom left, Matthew felt for his purse, which contained the last ten Galleons...... Enough, when you go back to school, there is no floor that costs money.

After getting dressed in the room, he threw the toad back into the cage, and then stuffed all the textbooks he had taken out for the past two days back into his suitcase.

Then, he walked out of Room Thirteen.

Then walk down the stairs.

......

Soon, the three friends gathered in the restaurant of the Leaky Cauldron Bar and began to eat breakfast.

Neville went to the counter to order.

Hermione, on the other hand, was frowning, reading the Daily Prophet.

"Bad news, Matthew!" Hermione said with a sudden fuss.

"What's wrong?" Matthew asked casually, yawning.

"It's about the Azkaban fugitives!" Hermione replied, putting down the newspaper in her hand and looking serious.

"Fugitives?" Matthew asked, taking a sip of hot tea, "Has the Ministry of Magic revealed the identities of those fugitives?"

"No, there is no ...... Minister Millicent Barnold continues to insist that the three fugitives are classified and will not disclose their information for the time being...... The Ministry of Magic will try to apprehend them as much as possible!" Hermione shook her head.

"What a joke. Matthew shrugged: "Those three people have been on the run for almost two months, how can they be arrested as soon as possible." ”

To be honest, Matthew does have a little bit of a dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Magic right now.

Of course, this is mainly because of the previous "smuggling" incident.

Although the "smuggling" incident was finally solved perfectly, a thread related to the book that Matthew had managed to find was broken.

Lucius Malfoy was arrested at the Ministry of Magic, but he was acquitted three days later.

As for Tom Gaunt, Matthew has not seen any reports related to this name in the Daily Prophet this summer...... As you can imagine, those people in the Ministry of Magic have not been able to arrest him, or even have no clue about him.

Even the contents of the mysterious box, the Department of Mysteries did not divulge any information related to it...... Matthew had no idea what was in there.

It seems that even if there is a new minister, the official law enforcement agency of the Ministry of Magic is not so reliable.

"The Ministry of Magic claims that in order to better capture the suspects and to protect the safety of Hogwarts......" Hermione continued to read the contents of the newspaper: "They will have some Dementors stationed in some of the Hogwarts levels......"

“...... But what exactly is a Dementor?" she looked slightly puzzled.

"Dementors are extremely evil creatures. Neville returned to the table with a plate of sandwiches and heard Hermione's question, "My dad told me...... It's evil, it's scary, it's ugly...... No one is going to love this creature!"

Matthew blinked slightly, and asked in some surprise, "Headmaster Grindelwald allowed Dementors to be stationed at Hogwarts?"

"Yes. Hermione nodded, her gaze continuing to sweep over the paper, "Yes, with the permission of Headmaster Grindelwald...... However, Headmaster Grindelwald also warned that Dementors should not touch or affect the lives of Hogwarts students and students...... Otherwise, you ...... at your own risk."

"That sounds like our lives won't be affected in any way. Matthew said lightly.

......

After breakfast, the three of them were ready to go.

They gather around the fireplace in Matthew's room, and Matthew goes to Old Tom to ask for some Floo powder.

It wasn't the first time the trio had traveled this way, and they didn't need any guidance, but it took them a little time to make a fire in the fireplace.

"King's Cross Station!" Matthew shouted as he grabbed a pinch of Floo powder and stepped into the flames.

The surrounding scene suddenly changed, and the whole body was spinning rapidly-

Once Matthew was in shape, he arrived at his destination.

The fireplace at King's Cross Station, which is connected to almost all of the UK's fireplaces, is surrounded by other wizards every few seconds.

Sometimes Matthew wonders why he doesn't just go straight to Hogwarts through the Floo Network...... Perhaps, it's because of a sense of ritual?

Neville and Hermione soon arrived at the fireplace, where Neville appeared to choke on the soot and coughed incessantly.

The three of them walked out of the fireplace room and came to the station of nine and three-quarters.

As soon as they looked up, they saw the Hogwarts Express, a bright red steam locomotive spewing smoke, and the platform was crowded with young wizards and witches and wizards who were sending their children onto the train.

"Let's go to the back of the train, it's empty, let's go get a space!" Hermione pushed the cart and walked directly in front of the three of them.

Neville and Matthew could only follow.

They made it all the way to the back of the train, in front of a car that looked relatively empty.

Then, they first loaded their luggage onto the train, including Neville's owl cage and Matthew's toad cage, both of which were placed on the luggage rack.

Then, an empty compartment was found and settled.

Only Hermione held her Crookshank Mountain in her arms until she entered the cubicle and released her.

"Crook Hill, you need to be more athletic. She said kindly.

Unfortunately, her pet did not appreciate it, and after running to the corner of the compartment, it lay down lazily, unwilling to move.

With a loud whistle, the guards walked along the train and closed the doors one by one.

Then, the locomotive spewed steam and started slowly...... Little by little, the train accelerated, faster and faster, until finally King's Cross Station was completely out of sight.

"This long summer vacation is finally coming to an end. Sitting in the seat of the cubicle, Matthew stretched and said, "It's finally time to go back to Hogwarts!"

"I'd like to have a longer summer!" Neville whispered.

Hermione opened her mouth, about to say something—

Suddenly, the door to the cubicle opened, and a tall wizard barged in.

It's a strange adult.

This surprised the three second-year students in the cubicle.

Because before that, except for the witch who pushed the cart to "sell" snacks, they had never seen any other adult wizards on the train.
