Chapter 317: Sudden Stop
Chapter 789: Sudden Stop
Harry was startled.
"You must be Harry!" As soon as he entered the meeting room, a black-haired man with the same hooked nose as Snape and Krum greeted him.
"This is my father." Krum blinked.
Although he couldn't make more expressions because of the stiffness of his face.
But the whole person was filled with unprecedented ease.
The woman with the same black hair, who should be Krum's mother, spoke fast Bulgarian to Krum.
"Thank you so much.
Viktor told me that if it weren't for you, he would have been alone in school.
You also helped him a lot in the competition." Krum's father was very enthusiastic.
Blocked most of his sight.
Harry took a lot of effort to get rid of him.
Then he saw the other side.
That was Fleur and Ryan.
Ryan was chattering with Fleur's mother in French.
Fleur's little sister Gabrielle was holding Ryan's hand.
In the corner of the room, Elvas waved to Harry in advance, and then spoke Portuguese to his dark-haired parents.
Then he saw Mrs. Weasley and Aunt Petunia, and even Dudley.
Except Aunt Petunia, the other two looked at him with a smile.
"You didn't expect it, Harry. My mother is here too." Dudley said enthusiastically.
Harry awkwardly greeted him. He held Ginny's hand more tightly.
He was still not used to Dudley's enthusiasm.
He could quickly forgive Ron's mistakes.
But Dudley, he might never get used to it in his life.
"Hello." Harry greeted.
Aunt Petunia nodded.
But her eyes seemed to avoid him, and she only kept looking at Dudley and the portraits who were whispering in the portraits.
Mrs. Weasley, on the other hand, was a little uncomfortable.
It was obvious that she and Aunt Petunia didn't get along well.
When she saw Ginny and Harry coming over, she smiled.
She pulled Ginny to her side.
The awkward atmosphere was finally dispelled after his mother arrived.
"Lily!" Aunt Petunia grabbed his mother's hand as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
"Let me be your tour guide today.
Petunia, this is the school you dream of going to!
.
Dudley is a good boy.
He is very popular in Hufflepuff.
Molly, long time no see.
"Mom is like a glue, making everyone feel comfortable.
Aunt Petunia actually started to talk to Mrs. Weasley about parenting experience.
She said that Dudley is good in everything now, but he is just too thin.
Mrs. Weasley talked about the portrait of the Fat Lady's girlfriend Violet on the wall, and talked about the time when she and Mr. Weasley took a late-night walk,
and returned to the common room at 4 a.m. and was scolded by the Fat Lady,
and Mr. Weasley still had the mark left on him by the then housemaster Apollyon Prinlo.
Then, the mother took them, mainly Aunt Petunia, to visit the entire castle.
Aunt Petunia finally let go.
Harry had never seen her horse face reveal a little girl's expression.
She suddenly became much more beautiful.
She looked at everything here almost greedily.
She asked his mother, Mrs. Weasley, and Dudley about the allusions of each portrait and stone carving, and the function of the silver armor.
After visiting the headmaster's office, Gryffindor common room, Ravenclaw common room, Hufflepuff common room, and Dudley's dormitory, they then visited Snape's office under Snape's murderous gaze.
Then, they walked outside the castle.
Strolling in the sun.
This morning was very pleasant.
Harry could hardly believe it, because Aunt Petunia and Dudley were also here.
Mom took them to see the carriage of Beauxbatons, the big ship of Durmstrang, and the redwoods of Castrumbush.
Mom was very sorry that the Quidditch field had changed now, otherwise she could show Aunt Petunia some Quidditch.
Aunt Petunia said with a little pride that she knew Quidditch.
Her son is the best goalkeeper.
Mrs. Weasley is very interested in the Whomping Willow, which she planted after she left school.
She finally recalled Hagrid's predecessor, the gamekeeper Og.
Og helped her a lot in dating Mr. Weasley.
If it was Hagrid, they might be caught many times by the housemaster Apollyon Primrose.
By then, there would be no good meat on Mr. Weasley.
This surprised Ginny a little.
"Have those torture instruments in Filch's office really been used? Can students be corporally punished at that time?"
Harry also guessed: "Then Filch's desire to corporally punish students is probably not all jealousy.
The previous administrator could corporally punish students.
But not him.
He probably thinks this is discrimination against him for being a Squib. There is no right to corporal punishment for students who are wizards."
"Can this be eaten?" Aunt Petunia asked, pointing to the bubble pods when they visited the greenhouse.
Aunt Petunia has always liked to eat beans and soy products.
For example, chickpeas. Tofu is her favorite.
If it weren't for Dudley, Harry would have suspected that they would have hummus for breakfast every day.
Seeing this strange-looking legume, Aunt Petunia's desire to try it unconsciously emerged.
"No. Because its beans will bloom immediately once they come into contact with solid objects." Lily covered her mouth and laughed.
After visiting the greenhouse, her mother took them to the iron gate behind the castle.
Harry immediately realized that they were going to Hogsmeade.
"Mom, aren't we going back to the castle for lunch?"
"Of course, it's rare for Penny to come to the magical world."
As they talked, they got on the carriage pulled by the Thestrals.
On the way to Hogsmeade, Mrs. Weasley deliberately talked about the Thestrals.
The description of the Thestrals' appearance and its characteristics that can only be seen by people who have seen death and fully accepted and understood death,
undoubtedly scared Aunt Penny.
Aunt Penny was still a little trembling until she got off the carriage.
If Mrs. Weasley hadn't winked at him, Harry would have almost thought it was just a simple popular science.
It was obvious that Mrs. Weasley was venting her anger for Harry's childhood.
But the atmosphere became weird again.
It was not until they arrived at Madam Puddifoot's Tea House that Mrs. Weasley and her mother recalled the time they had dated here, and the atmosphere of the whole team became harmonious.
Her mother also joked and asked him if he and Ginny had dated here before.
Aunt Petunia also began to care about whether Dudley liked girls.
She asked this very carefully.
Because she had heard her sister complain that Harry's hair was stolen by the red-haired kid who was always with him, just to use potions to create a child with Harry.
This made Aunt Petunia feel scared.
After confirming that Dudley didn't have a girl he liked, she kept asking him if he had a good relationship with a boy.
She would introduce him to her later.
Dudley was very confused.
Until Aunt Petunia accidentally revealed Ron's name.
Dudley, Mrs. Weasley, and everyone present understood it immediately.
The journey ended here, and they went back after lunch at the Three Broomsticks.
