"Haha——"
Harry opened his eyes and sat blankly for a while. He spent a few seconds to let his brain start up and his eyes found Leaning on his friend by the window, Harry asked vaguely: "What time is it?"
"At seven o'clock, Percy called the ministry car to take us off. Mrs. Weasley said you I can sleep for a while longer."
Loren looked at the village covered by the heavy rain and took a deep breath, which was full of moisture.
The rain started falling in the early morning when the sky was bright. A hint of gray appeared in the distant sky, and soon it darkened. Thick black clouds gathered and became lower and lower. Within a few minutes, the heavy rain poured down on the sky, covering the ground like rain. beads.
"No more sleep."
Harry shook his head, hearing the sound of continuous rain in his ears. It seemed that the dull atmosphere at the end of the holiday at the Burrow was shattered by the heavy rain. , threw on a sweater and jeans, and went downstairs to have breakfast with Loren.
Charlie and Bill were reading the newspaper while eating breakfast, in the same posture as Arthur's usual movements.
The girls had also gotten up. Hermione and Ginny sat together, staring blankly at the fireplace downstairs. Loren and Loren followed their gazes and were also stunned.
Amos Diggory's big head hung in the middle of the roaring fire, his lips moving and saying something quickly. The flames were flying around, but he was not affected at all:
" said Mad-Eye Someone was heard breaking into his yard, heading towards his house, and was repelled by the trap he had set in the dustbin."
Arthur sat in front of the fireplace, casually writing on the sheepskin with his quill. It was recorded on the paper, and the flames made his forehead shine: "This is a normal thing for Mad-Eye, and then, what does it have to do with us?"
Molly happened to be carrying Butterbread walked past the fireplace, and Digory's eyes followed the butterbread: "Oh, and then the Muggles living nearby heard the banging and shouting, and they went to call - you care? What are they called... By the way, Kincha. When Kincha arrived, there was a dumpster that was still spewing garbage... Arthur, you have to go, if Rita Skeeter catches this. It's going to be a big deal, and our office will be in trouble."
"Oh, my God..." Arthur groaned, "Where is the person who broke into the yard?"
>
Digory rolled his eyes: "Arthur, you know Mad-Eye well. No one would sneak into his yard in the middle of the night except for the wild cat that ate the defeated potato skins... Think about his criminal record." Record..."
Molly put down the buttered bread and looked up to see the two people listening attentively at the corner of the stairs, a little speechless.
Moving lightly, she stretched out her hand to pinch the earlobes of the two of them. Molly said in a soft voice: "Stop standing there stupidly and go have breakfast...Aren't George and the others getting up yet?"
Harry shook his head stupidly. Mrs. Weasley's hand holding the bowl was hot, and he was a little embarrassed.
"I'll call them. You guys have breakfast quickly. I'll ask Bill and Charlie to take you to King's Cross Station later." After Molly finished speaking, she walked upstairs.
Looking at the stupid Harry, Loren shook his head and sighed softly.
If you are being manipulated by your mother-in-law now, you will be even more statusless in the future.
Forget it, this is all a trivial matter... Digory was just talking about Mad-Eye Moody. He remembered that Moody was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester. Counting the time, he seemed to have been killed. Come on.
No, he wasn't killed, he was just harvested as a Pokemon in a box.
While passing by the dining table, Loren reached out and rubbed Hermione's head, making the already messy hair even messier.
Hermione rolled her eyes, wondering what the man was thinking. It was because he had bothered to comb his hair that it was messed up.
The conversation between Diggory and Arthur continues:
"Mad-Eye didn't use a wand, did he? He didn't actually attack others, did he?"
" I dare say that he jumped out of bed and looked out the window, and whatever he saw suffered, the good news is that there were no casualties."
"..."
Harry sat down on the chair and took a bite of the buttered bread. It was fluffy and sweet, but he was not in the mood to savor it now. He raised his head and asked softly: "Do you know who Mad-Eye is? Ron always talks about it too." This name?"
Hermione glanced at the big head in the fireplace and lowered her voice and replied: "I have seen him. He is Dumbledore's friend and a legendary Auror. He has made outstanding contributions, but he has retired because he is too old."
"Legendary Auror..." Harry chewed the bread thoughtfully, "Just listening to what they said, I thought I was crazy. Han is a crazy and eccentric old wizard."
"You're not wrong," Bill chuckled. "He was once a talented and dedicated Auror - I should say. The best one, a good hand at dealing with dark wizards, he filled half of the prisons in Azkaban."
Charlie added: "But he also made a lot of enemies...mainly those who were killed. A relative of the person he captured, he gradually became paranoid after retirement. From then on, he began to become suspicious. He always felt that the surroundings were surrounded by dangers. He could see dark wizards wherever he went, always regardless of time and place. Pull out the wand, question others... He doesn't trust anyone, is always worried that someone is trying to poison him, and doesn't think food can be trusted, even if it's cooked by his friends."
Hermione's eyebrows knitted together; Moody had impressed her, a little oddly, but not to the extent that Charlie had suggested.
On the other side, Molly pushed the twins and Ron downstairs who could not open their eyes. Arthur by the fireplace had already understood the basic information, put away his quill, and put the parchment in his pocket. : "Okay, Amos, I understand, I'll leave now."
Digory's eyes followed him away, and when he saw Molly coming downstairs, he apologized: "I'm so sorry, Molly, I'm disturbing you so early... But only Arthur can excuse Mad-Eye and prevent him from being punished. Alas, Mad-Eye was going to start a new job today. I really don't understand why he chose this. Last night..."
"It doesn't matter, Amos." Wei Moli pressed Ron on the stool and stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, "Do you want to eat a piece of bread or something before leaving? ?
"Oh, my pleasure. " Digory smiled happily.
Molly took a piece of bread and butter from the pile on the table, held it with tongs, and put it into Digory's mouth.
"Thank you." He said vaguely, and then there was only a soft pop, and the big head disappeared into the fireplace.
Hermione whispered in a voice that only Loren could hear: "I wish Mr. Digory could be so polite to the house elves."
Loren knew she was still there Thinking about what happened to Shining, he rubbed her hair and said nothing.
A few minutes later, Arthur used a comb to pull his hair randomly a few times, put on a cloak and prepared to apparate. He said to the little wizards on the table: "I have to leave quickly. I wish you all the best." All the best this term, kids."
"Goodbye, Mr. Weasley."
"Goodbye, Dad..."
...
In the end, it was Bill, Charlie and Molly who sent them to King's Cross together. At the station, Percy apologized repeatedly, saying that he was too busy and couldn't get away...
George and Fred were full of doubts about this, but they saw the Ministry of Magic bus called by Percy parked at the airport. There was even a full-time driver at the door of the house, and the two of them were stunned.
"Is Percy really valued?" George scratched his head, unable to accept it, "I thought this stupid brother could only be a prefect in school."
Fred couldn't help it. nodded.
Although there are many people in the Weasley family and six suitcases, the magic car doesn't have to worry about space at all. Even if everyone squeezes in, the space in the car is still very spacious.
The rain was pouring outside the car window, and the rain was crackling. The owls were waving their wings restlessly in the cage, and they didn't quiet down until they arrived at the station. The rain outside King's Cross Station was heavier than the Burrow. Move away The car door was pouring towards them, and they relied on [Invulnerability to Water and Fire] to avoid getting soaked.
Passing through the seemingly solid partition wall between the ninth and tenth platforms, the crimson steam train had stopped on the rails, spewing out billowing smoke. Looking through the rain, fog and thick smoke, we could see shadowy parents and students everywhere on the platform, and owls were chirping cheerfully one after another, as if they were greeting their friends again after a summer vacation.
Charlie hugged Ginny and said goodbye to her, nodded his sister's slightly red nose, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, maybe I can see you again soon."
"Yes... "Bill put his hands in his pockets and sighed, looking at the crimson train with a melancholy expression. "I really hope I can go back to Hogwarts to go to school this year... It will be fun. I even want to take leave to go to school... "Just as Harry and the others looked at the two of them in confusion, the whistle urging departure was blown, and they had to return to their seats and sit down.
Hermione leaned out of the window and shouted sincerely: "Thank you for letting us stay, Mrs. Weasley!"
Loren also came from Hermione Min's back arched: "Yes, thank you for everything you have done for us, Mrs. Weasley!"
Harry ignored his doubts and stuck his head out of another window and shouted: "This is the most special summer vacation I have ever had. Thank you, Mrs. Weasley!"
Molly wiped her wet face Out of the corner of Hong's eyes: "Oh, I'm happy to do that, dear, you guys have helped me a lot..."
They can no longer hear the loud whistle of the train and the hissing of the engine's pistons. They heard each other's voices, only to see Mrs. Weasley smiling and waving to them, and the three red-haired people bidding farewell on the platform were quickly leaving, disappearing in the misty rain.
"It's so annoying to only speak half of your words!" Ron squeezed Ginny away and sat next to Harry angrily, "Tell me, what on earth is going on? What is so interesting about Hogwarts? ? All three of them knew it, so they kept it secret from us!"
Ginny:...
The youngest girl in the Weasley family looked at her brother, and then at Harry through Ron. She sighed helplessly, silently sat down next to him and started feeding the piglet.
Harry scratched his head: "I don't know, but I should know it tonight. We can ask Seamus..."
...
Loren leaned his head on the girl's shoulder, slowly adjusted it to a soft and comfortable angle, and closed his eyes peacefully.
"Crack... crackle..."
Loren frowned, the sound of rain hitting the glass window was dull.
"Quidditch World Cup...Wronsky's fake move..."
This is a topic that Harry and Ron gradually strayed away from.
"Cuckoo...Cuckoo!"
This is Hedwig and Hanhan grabbing the piggy's owl food.
Hermione held the newspaper in her hand, expressionless, silently enduring the man rubbing against her shoulders, just holding the newspaper tightly with her fingers.
"…"
My fist became hard and I really wanted to hit him.
Loren suddenly opened his eyes——
Damn it, I'm so energetic, I can't sleep at all!
"It's all your fault that you're too thin. I burped when my bones were resting on my head. You have to eat a little fatter within a week. I'll have a checkup at the weekend!"
Loren said with a straight face, while Hermione focused on the newspaper. He ignored him at all and stuck his head out curiously: "What are you reading?"
"Daily Prophet."
Loren has seen it, the latest newspaper this morning, the first The title of the edition is very exciting -
Finees and Treatment Fees: The Real Cost? Take the opportunity to make money?
"Gold medal reporter Rita Skeeter reported: Recently, most of the wizards involved in the Quidditch World Cup incident have been treated and discharged... After the reporter visited St. Mungo's Hospital and verified, the injuries were indeed caused by the petrification of magic power caused by the basilisk attack. The basilisk The whereabouts are still under investigation... The main treatment drug is mandrake, which is mainly used for detoxification and animagus...
"According to the reporter's investigation, the injured still need to receive medical treatment after being discharged from the hospital. An investigation by the Ministry of Magic revealed that wizards who participated in parade riots had to pay a large fine, including treatment costs, which amounted to 170 Galleons per person. This amount caused dissatisfaction among many injured people. A wizard who was deceived by Veela and participated in the parade claimed that the Ministry of Magic's move It's to make money..."
Loren said "tsk": "After all, the Ministry of Magic has made a profit."
What follows is other reporters' reports on the Quidditch World Cup incident. and excavations, but it is basically not as good as a Beetle reporter. It is all nonsense and boring to read.
"A train without sleep is so boring." Loren rubbed the girl's shoulder again, it was soft and bouncy, and it still smelled good.
Hermione originally didn't want to talk to him, but he couldn't read the newspaper like this, so she pondered for a while and suggested: "If you're bored, you can read a book."
"What book should you read?"
"Fourth grade "
"Isn't that more boring..." As he said this, Loren suddenly remembered, "Didn't you go buy a book yesterday? What book did you buy? Is it good? Take it out and read it. ?"
"…"
"Why don't you say anything?"
Loren stopped talking, looked at Hermione sideways, and poked her cheek: "Let me ask you, what book did you buy? It can't be a textbook, right? "
Hermione was silent for a moment, feeling that if she didn't explain clearly, the train might not be safe: "I didn't buy a book."
"I didn't buy a book?" Loren felt a little strange, "Then you. Where are you? Didn't you tell Mrs. Weasley to buy books? You were the slowest. George Fred and I went back to the Leaky Cauldron to wait for you for a while."
"Don't ask. You don't want to know."
"Hey..." Loren's curiosity suddenly aroused, and he poked the girl's face urgingly, "I just want to know, tell me!"
"Tuofan Clothing Store."
< br>Hermione's mouth curved into a faint smile, the head on her shoulder paused, and she could feel his neck stiffen.
"What?"
Hermione turned her head slightly and looked straight at him: "Tuofan Clothing Store, I saw you enter Tuofan Clothing Store and buy two sets of gifts. Skirt."
"..."
Loren looked at her with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
