Chapter 80
After finishing the ice cream, Harry bought another bag of candy for Ginny to take home.
He wanted to buy two bags, but Hermione stopped him, saying that eating too much candy would be bad for his teeth.
Harry thought about it and accepted Hermione’s opinion.
The four of them strolled around Diagon Alley and prepared to go back to the Leaky Cauldron to find Arthur and the others.
When passing by Flourish and Blotts, the four of them looked inside.
Lucius was gone, and Lockhart and the fan group were gone too.
It seemed that they had left.
I just don’t know if Lucius has the courage to retaliate, or what means he would use to retaliate.
He can only retaliate privately, because the laws of the Ministry of Magic clearly state that wizards cannot use spells to attack people at will, but there is no rule that wizards cannot attack people with fists.
Sorry, the magic used by Harry, the Ministry of Magic can’t detect any traces.
Unless there was an official from the Ministry of Magic”067″ present at the time and detected the magic fluctuations.
As for Lucius’s own testimony, there were so many people and eyes at that time, who knows who used magic.
Anyway, Harry will not admit it.
Without solid evidence and with little impact, Veritaserum cannot be used.
No one dares to use Veritaserum on Harry.
The fan group just now can prove it.
If the Ministry of Magic dares to use Veritaserum on Harry, as soon as the order is issued, his office will be filled with Howlers.
Some people who don’t like it may add the cry of an adult Mandrake to it. When they returned to the Leaky Cauldron, the four saw Arthur and Mr. Granger were drunk and talking loudly about the Muggle world.
Molly was chatting happily with Mrs. Granger.
Looking at the expressions of the Grangers, it was obvious that what had just happened had no effect on them.
Arthur stated that he was an official of the Ministry of Magic and told them some laws of the Ministry of Magic.
This made them feel a lot more at ease.
Seeing several adults, Hermione, Ron and Ginny shouted,”Dad, Mom.” and returned to their parents.
Harry was a little dazed. He thought of the two people in the photo, but quickly adjusted himself back.
“Ginny, who bought these clothes for you?”Molly saw the two robes in Ginny’s hands, her face suddenly darkened, and she said seriously
“I bought it for Ginny, Mrs. Weasley.” Harry came over and said to Molly with a smile
“Oh? Harry, this won’t do, Ginny, give the clothes back to Harry.” Molly said to Ginny.
Ginny pouted, a little reluctant, she was not greedy for the two clothes, but because the two clothes were given to her by Harry.
“Mrs. Weasley, I regard Ron as my brother, and Ginny is my sister. It is normal for a brother to give two pieces of clothing to his sister. Harry stopped Ginny from handing him the clothes and said to Mrs. Weasley.
“Harry…”Mrs. Weasley looked at Harry tenderly and said,”But this is…”
Harry interrupted her and said with a smile:”As long as you can continue to send me sweaters at Christmas, it will be fine.”
Mrs. Weasley shed tears of emotion. The sweaters she knitted were only worn by her children.
Arthur was a man after all, and his emotional value was much greater. He smiled heartily:”Ginny, since it is given to you by Harry, then you should accept it.”
Several people separated from the Leaky Cauldron. The next day when they went to Flourish and Blotts to buy books, Lucius did not come again, and Lockhart’s book signing was over.
Fortunately, Molly had already arranged for Ron and his school textbooks for free, otherwise I don’t know how to buy so many textbooks, after all, Lockhart’s books are more.
September 1st is the first day of school.
No student likes this day.
Uncle Vernon still sent Harry to the King’s Platform and watched him go in before leaving.
The atmosphere this year is a little different, and all students feel it.
After arriving at the Hogwarts platform, besides Hagrid picking up the new students, there were also Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Lockhart.
Lockhart was wearing a gorgeous light blue wizard robe. In the dim environment, he still kept a toothy smile, which was particularly conspicuous.
After all, in Lockhart’s eyes, these Hogwarts students are his loyal fans in the future.
Before the two deans spoke, he took a step forward and smiled brightly, although not many people could see it clearly.
“Dear students, are you curious about why the professors are here?”
“I have some bad news for you. Hogwarts may be in danger this year…….”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Professor McGonagall’s cold words interrupted him.
“Hogwarts is the safest place. There won’t be any danger. I hope we won’t delay the students’ opening dinner!”
“Now, all students line up and wait for the professors’ inspection!”Snape still spoke in his cold and empty tone….
Snape’s words were obviously very effective for all the students.
Students from every college stood up obediently.
Snape and Professor McGonagall began to check them expressionlessly.
Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and an invisible magic passed through everyone.
Snape took out a mirror and walked past each student.
When passing a little wizard, the mirror flashed and rotated.
Snape had a blank expression, staring at him with a pair of empty eyes without saying a word.
The little wizards were trembling under the stare, lowered their heads, and took out some mischievous black magic items from their pockets.
Compared with the seriousness of the two professors, Lockhart was much more popular.
Especially some female students, they have read the novels written by Lockhart and are attracted by the rich and wonderful stories in them.
And the protagonist who solves various magical creatures in it makes them like it even more.
In particular, Lockhart showed a charming smile and discussed some beauty magic with them.
How to make your skin smoother and whiter, make your photos more charming, and even some magic to clean your breath, make your teeth whiter, and do nail art.
With his own qualities, Lockhart successfully and quickly broke into the girls’ group and became their best friend.
Even Hermione, who was not very interested in Lockhart, stretched her neck at this time.
These spells look very useful.
Harry had to sigh that there is no useless magic, only useless wizards.
The two professors who were concentrating on their work had a dark face at this time. They didn’t know until they checked. They were shocked when they checked.
I didn’t expect so many students to bring dark magic items to school.
Although they were not very harmful, they were more inclined to pranks.
Slytherin was obviously the hardest hit area. They had a lot of magic items at home. There was nothing they could do.
But what people didn’t expect was that Ravenclaw brought more than Gryffindor.
And the Weasley twins, who Professor McGonagall paid the most attention to, didn’t find a single dark magic item on them.
This made her look relieved.
It seems that after a summer vacation, they have become more sensible.
