Chapter 306 Reaction 2 (Happy New Year!)
Harry was a few blocks away from home when he slumped down on a parapet on Magnolia Crescent.
He was out of breath from dragging the boxes.
Everything happened suddenly.
After hearing the insult to his parents, Harry was so angry that he blew Aunt Marge into a balloon without using a wand.
Up to now, his heart is still beating non-stop, and the blood is bombarding his brain.
Can't be calm!
But what to do now!
The surrounding Muggles stared at Harry's luggage and Hideaway in the cage with strange eyes.
But in this big city, people just took a strange look, then turned and left, and didn't pay much attention to it.
Worse than that, he had no Muggle coins and nowhere else to go.
Harry's friends, McGuffin, Ron, and Hermione have all gone to foreign resorts, and they can't be contacted temporarily even through owl messages.
Worst of all, he had just attacked Muggles directly.
This means that he has seriously violated the [Act Restricting the Use of Magic by Minors], [International Statute of Secrecy] and many other legal provisions of the wizarding world. To be honest, there has been no owl message until now... and it is also strange that the Ministry of Magic sent wizards here.
"Escape?"
"No, no, no!"
Harry thought for a while, there was no way he could escape the tracking of the Ministry of Magic.
According to Ron, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic have a set of procedures for chasing criminals, and they have all kinds of magic to hunt down those dark wizards and criminals.
Divination, tracking magic, even straight up owls to find...
Even Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry can always try to find Harry.
——The memory of receiving the acceptance letter in the first semester is still in Harry's mind. No matter where Vernon Dursley took them to hide at that time, the admission letter would always be sent by the owl.
Now, he wasn't much stronger than he was then, at least Harry hadn't learned the trace-eliminating spell that Hermione was talking about.
Waiting for wizards from the Ministry of Magic right here?
Trembling all over, Harry took off his glasses and held his forehead.
Did I ask Professor Dumbledore to take me in and let him be with Hagrid?
Small 'Hagrid'?
Small tree house?
Harry seemed to see this scene in front of his eyes-he himself was wearing a small buckskin coat and wellies, guarding magical animals in the muddy Forbidden Forest.
Tooth lay beside him.
He looked at Hogwarts Castle pitifully holding up a small umbrella with a broken wand hidden inside.
While Ron and Hermione, McGuffin is happily learning magic in the renovated Hogwarts school.
I can only watch them cast magic, watch Quidditch, and envy other people flying in the air on magic brooms.
"Harry, I'm sorry, we graduated by ourselves!" Ron appeared in front of Harry with a guilty and sympathetic face.
"No!"
Harry screamed, and the illusion was shattered.
"Son, what are you doing here?"
"Where is your home?"
At this time, a chubby middle-aged policewoman came over to talk to her, and her tone seemed to regard Harry as some kind of child who was outstanding from home.
Although it was true that he had run away from home, Harry felt disgusted when he thought of the Dursleys.
It wasn't because of the Aurors who were afraid to go somewhere and clean up the mess, it was just that he had had enough of the Dursleys and he didn't want to see them at all right now.
"Did you just come here and can't find the address?"
The chubby policewoman looked very kind, and she wanted to pull Harry up from the low wall as she spoke.
It seemed that she wanted to help Harry find his family.
That's not what Harry needs.
"By the way, the address! Diagon Alley!"
Harry thought, if he was destined to be caught, he might as well take a look there, in case he was really kicked out of the wizarding world.
He felt that he had to see it with his own eyes,...in fact, he wanted to see Hogwarts more, but...now he could only go to Diagon Alley.
"The Leaky Cauldron! I'm going to the Leaky Cauldron!"
Harry said quickly.
"What? Why haven't I heard of it? Where is this?"
Harry realized, "I'm going to London, yes, the Leaky Cauldron in London! That's my home!"
"All right!"
The fat policewoman was a little puzzled, but kindly sent Harry to a nearby bus stop, and stuffed him with some Muggle coins.
She is so nice!
The policewoman reminded him of Ron's mother, Mrs. Weasley.
Harry originally wanted to thank the wizarding gold coins on the bottom of his chest, but then he remembered that these coins seemed to have been enchanted by goblins, and any Muggle would automatically ignore them.
In order to avoid difficult recycling and loss.
In the end, Harry could only express his thanks, and got on the bus, ready to go to [The Leaky Cauldron].
At least...he will take out the remaining coins from the underground vault of [Gringotts].
Harry gradually came to his senses, and he thought that maybe because of his age... (if Maggie hadn't... no, she should be fine) then the worst possibility would be that he should be kicked out of Hogwarts.
After that, he'd be wandering... like (Hermione said) all the wild wizards who didn't go to wizarding school.
At this time, he needs the money.
……
"Is this the life of money? I love it, I love it..."
Ron kept saying that his goal in the future is to become a rich wizard, at least...to buy a magic flying carpet.
Now, Egypt, over the endless desert.
The Weasley family and the Albert family are taking an Egyptian-style vehicle (magic carpet), and they must go to the next destination.
— the real Sphinx.
(It is said that the Sphinx that Muggles see now is only transformed by wizards through clay... The real Sphinx is a golden statue of bones, a great alchemy creation. It is the ancient Egyptian wizarding dynasty, a huge monster created by ancient wizards at that time.
The pharaoh at that time, that is, the most powerful wizard in ancient Egypt at that time, directly integrated the skeleton of a huge sphinx monster with the Yellow Financial City, and activated it into a magic guard of the dynasty.
Although the magic lasted for a long time after the death of the pharaoh, in the end, under the influence of time, it gradually turned into a magnificent golden statue. )
Under the threat of Emily, McGuffin's sister, McGuffin had to pay a lot of money to rent three magic flying carpets as a means of transportation for this trip.
And it's a deluxe edition.
super big!
Each flying carpet can allow five or six people to lie on it and roll around.
There are extremely gorgeous patterns, gold thread weaving patterns, magic runes, various functions, and even automatic temperature adjustment to prevent the scorching sun... It can automatically navigate and find its way.
The most important thing is that they can enjoy the roasted mutton, pouches, bread, and all kinds of fresh food transmitted by magic for free. If they are interested, they can even sunbathe...
Compared with a broomstick, it is the difference between a bicycle and a top-end luxury car.
Can't be compared.
Looking at the excited faces of Mr. Longman and Mr. Weasley, he knew that this thing would bring unimaginable fun to this journey.
Not to mention Emily, the instigator, she has been trying to find a way to see how the flying carpet works.
Others are also enjoying this different, fresh journey.
Although McGuffin is bleeding heavily now, and he was pulled out of part of the contract money just after he got the agreement, but the news in his hand is enough for him to dispel all the unhappiness.
The prison photo of Sirius was enlarged to occupy almost half of the page of the "Daily Prophet".
—he opened his mouth wide in an angry growl.
McGuffin didn't read much, and the "Daily Prophet" published the news, indicating that the plan had succeeded.
It seems that the good times of Scabbers are over!
He stared at the fat mouse lying on his back in front of the magic carpet basking in the sun with good intentions.
——Three bellies rise together.
Well, yes, three.
Garen and Sike, those two idiots, they didn't learn well, but they mastered it instantly.
McGuffin followed Ron's suggestion and took the two little ones with him.
Originally, they were brought to the sniffers to see if they could find some treasures in Egypt, but in the end... they turned into old fritters instead.
(Ron's mouse, the two snuffers, and the owl were all brought on the plane by Mr. Weasley under the [Shrinking Curse] and the [Invisibility Curse], and came with them)
McGuffin folded the newspaper angrily and put it in his pocket, looking forward.
They have reached their destination.
A staggeringly large golden statue shone on the horizon.
The light of the sun at noon makes this sphinx statue majestic and magnificent, with golden light.
The flying carpet began to descend slowly, and they walked down from it, standing on the desert.
Mr. Weasley was holding a very old wizarding travel book, introducing it like Mr. Longman, talking about something.
The cover page of the picture album is full of magical oil paintings, with various changing scenes painted on it.
"Enjoy it, Albert, Muggles don't see this kind of thing. The series of landscapes created by these Egyptian pharaohs and wizard kings... Even in the wizarding world, this is one of the greatest miracles... Perhaps only the underwater city of Atlantis, the Sky Garden of Babylon, the Tower of Babel before it was destroyed by wizards in the Middle Ages, and the 'Palace of Heaven' built on the Cloud Ridge in the ancient Eastern Kingdom..." Mr. Weasley said.
Indeed, one has to appreciate it carefully, otherwise it would be a waste of spending so many Galleons.
Now McGuffin's biggest worry has been put down, and he can start a wonderful journey.
……
Malfoy Manor.
Lucius Malfoy looked at his wife with an ugly face and was singing to help his 'daughter'... DeLS Malfoy
— Dress up.
The awkwardness in his heart, that feeling... can't be described in words.
And he couldn't say anything yet, and he didn't even dare to be obvious.
Because in the eyes of his wife and daughter, all this is undoubtedly very normal.
The 'truth' he was about to tell would spoil it all.
For the honor of the Malfoy family, he even chose to betray the Dark Lord and owe Dumbledore's favor.
Everything is chosen by him and done by himself.
Lucius looked more and more uncomfortable, and finally he simply threw the newspaper aside coldly and stood up from the armchair.
"Lucius!"
Narcissa said with a trembling voice.
Somehow, since this summer vacation, since De LS recovered, her husband has been full of thoughts, staring at her and Xiao De LS with strange and terrifying eyes.
The cold snorts from time to time made their mother and daughter tremble with fear all day long.
"What do you want to do?"
"Narcissa, I don't think this is okay... Des can't go on like this, as the sole heir of the Malfoy family..."
"Look at what you learned at Hogwarts, dressing up all day long, reading "Weekly Witches"..."
"Didn't I tell you not to look at that kind of thing! It's the garbage that Muggle wizards and unbearable mediocrities like!"
"Can……"
DeLS Malfoy retorted in a low voice.
"But what! I heard from the Hogwarts professors that your grades actually lost to a little mudblood witch... I dare say that they don't have any 'magic cross-dressing mirror'..."
"Just a basilisk turned you into petrification... Look at what Harry's hybrids, mudbloods... have done, don't you feel ashamed to be the heir of the Malfoy family?"
"Because I saved you...our house elf is gone!"
"So starting tomorrow, you must spend three hours a day practicing magic against me..."
Lucius reprimanded him directly, causing DeLS Malfoy to return to his room crying.
"Lucius...don't put too much pressure on De LS! She's just a third-year little wizard..."
While Narcissa spoke carefully, she bent down and picked up the dropped "Daily Prophet" from the Persian magic carpet.
"This is?"
She also saw the 'Jade Photo' of Sirius.
"Lucius, aren't you...?"
"Yes, Black escaped from Azkaban! It was my testimony that made him send him to prison without a trial..."
"He should come back for revenge!"
"But he's not the Dark Lord... Is he supposed to be with us?" Narcissa became nervous.
"Do you really believe it? Narcissa... that Sirius Black, the lawless troublemaker... he will not submit to anyone, and he is not afraid of the Dark Lord... Do you remember how many people that madman offended at Hogwarts and the wizarding world?"
"So when he was tried, even if some people thought he was innocent, no one stood up to speak for him."
"It's just a few words from me...Even I didn't expect that he would be imprisoned in Azkaban...for 12 years."
"It says Bellatrix Lestrange said that Sirius escaped from prison to kill Harry Potter..." Narcissa argued anxiously.
"Do you believe this statement? He will seek revenge on us!"
Lucius said firmly.
"That's why I want to exercise De LS!"
"Can……"
"Don't worry! I'll go to the minister tomorrow to suggest that dementors be involved in the hunt... That kind of monster will definitely catch Sirius again soon!"
Lucius said comforting Narcissa.
But he knew in his heart who was Sirius' primary target of revenge?
Their family is not yet ranked. He said this just to hone his German LS.
Even though Draco has become a witch, as the successor of the Malfoy family, she must shoulder heavier responsibilities and work harder.
He paid such a high price, she must be better than before.
Lucius Malfoy was preoccupied.
