Chapter 249 King's Cross Station

The party ended with the cheers of Gryffindor and the deathly silence of Slytherin,

The next day, the little wizards left the rich emotions of the previous night behind, because they knew very well that a wonderful holiday was waiting for them next.

They might have been happier if the professors hadn't handed them notices telling them they couldn't use magic during the holidays.

Hagrid took the little wizards to the train station in Hogsmeade Village and boarded the Hogwarts Express bound for London. They talked and laughed all the way, watching the scenery outside the window slowly passing by and speeding towards the rear. , the wilderness slowly turned into a countryside, the scenery became more and more green and tidy, and we drove past Muggle villages one after another from a place where almost no Muggles lived.

The little wizards ate Bibi's multi-flavored beans, took off their wizard robes, put on shirts, jackets, and blouses, left the magical world, returned to the world as it was, and came to the Nine Towers at King's Cross Station. And three-quarters of the way to the platform.

Because the truth about the existence of wizards was to be hidden, a whole train of young wizards would not be allowed to leave the platform. A large number of people appeared rashly, and even the wizards could not continue to hide it.

So Feeney and the other little wizards left the platform separately under the supervision of a shriveled and skinny fishing guard.

The old guard stood at the partition wall at the platform exit, allowing only two or three people to pass at a time, so that a large number of people would not appear from the solid wall and attract the attention of Muggles.

"Do you want to come to my house this summer? Well, you can come over and I will send an owl to you."

Ron said to Harry, Neville, and Hermione,

Harry nodded and said,

"Thank you. I will spend the holidays with Sirius later. I think he will be happy to take me to you."

Finny and Draco stood behind the four of them, quietly listening to the conversation between the little ones.

Draco curled his lips and was very unhappy. Just now Feeny had dragged him away from his two relatives, Crabbe and Goyle, and forced him to come out with Harry and the others.

The twins stood next to Feeney, holding their arms around Feeney's neck.

"Finny, do you want to come and play with us during the holidays?"

"That's right, if you're not here, our mother will look for us again,,,"

"George, Fred!"

Before the twins finished speaking, they were interrupted by a roar,

Finny looked around and saw Mrs. Molly Weasley looking at the twins angrily.

It was as if he was trying to skin the twins.

In the meantime, Molly quickly came to the twins' side, holding one person's ear with one hand, and roared with suppressed anger,

"How dare you! Do you know how worried your father, me, and Ginny were when we found out the news? Ginny was terrified!"

Everyone knew that Molly was talking about the twins who broke into the underground classroom and rescued Harry.

This matter is indeed a good thing and something to be proud of. However, for relatives and parents, such a dangerous thing seems to them that they should not do it if they can. things,

They do not expect their children to achieve any kind of achievements. They just hope that their children can grow up safely and healthily, start a family, start a career, marry a wife, and have children.

Although the twins were a little aggrieved, they didn't say much or defend themselves.

They have been smart since childhood and know very well that this incident really frightened their mother, so it is also good to have their mother scold them a few times.

Moreover, according to their mother's character, after scolding them, she would definitely praise them for protecting their younger brother. The so-called scolding was just because they did something dangerous, and the praise was because they were worthy of her pride.

In fact, this is also the case. Finny took Draco and Molly to say hello and then left with Harry.

He wanted to talk to Harry's aunt and uncle about asking Harry to spend the holidays at Black's house.

"Goodbye, Potter!"

"Bye, Harry!"

All kinds of farewells were shouted out by the little wizards. Harry gained friendships he had never had before at Hogwarts, so he was very happy, especially thinking about being able to spend the next vacation with Sirius and... With Feeney spending time in the magical world, I am even more happy and looking forward to it.

"I said, are you ready?"

A very majestic, yet stern voice came from the prisoner on the side,

Feeney turned his head and looked around. There was a man with a red and purple face and a big beard, who was as fat as a food animal. He was looking at Harry with angry eyes.

Next to him, there stood a woman who was as thin as a telephone pole compared to him. If you didn't look at the obviously sharp and mean face, the woman might be pretty good, and a little boy who was also extremely fat. They were using Looking at Harry with a worried expression,

"Is that them, Harry?"

Feeney asked calmly,

Harry nodded with difficulty. At this time, Mrs. Weasley walked over and asked,

"You must be Harry's family, right?"

The fat man, Harry's Uncle Vernon, said,

"You could also say that,"

Then looked at Harry,

"Come on, boy, we can't afford to take all day,"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"etc!"

But he was stopped by Feeney.

Vernon obviously didn't expect a wizard to stop him. He paused in his steps and turned around tremblingly to look at Finny.

"Is there anything you need?"

"It's nothing important, I just want to tell you that I will pick up Harry and bring him to my home during the holidays."

Feeney still said in a very cold tone, although he did not reject Muggles, but that meant that for people from an ancient country, British Muggles, he really didn't look down on them, and he didn't reject them. , not targeting them, does not mean that his impression of them is very good,

"That's impossible!"

Vernon said directly without thinking,

Feeney shrugged and said,

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention, my brother is Harry's godfather,"

Vernon was stunned, stared at Harry, and asked in confusion,

"Godfather? You don't have a godfather!"

Harry said cheerfully,

"I do. He is my parents' best friend. However, he was convicted of murder and was just released from the wizard's prison not long ago."

Vernon's eyes shrank obviously, obviously frightened by what Harry said.

Feeney smiled and said,

"Well, although there are some gaps in the details, it is true. My brother just came out of the wizard prison this semester."

Harry looked at the frightened look on Vernon's face and laughed happily.

Feeney continued,

"He is very willing to keep in touch with Harry, so he specifically asked me to tell you that we will pick up Harry in a week,"

After saying this, he paused for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, we are not responsible for killing Muggles. Well, we usually call people like you without magic Muggles,"

After saying that, Finny smiled and waved to Harry, and left the station with Draco, completely ignoring the frightened Vernon and his family, especially the little one who had shrunk behind his mother. Fat man.

Draco was also very happy, maybe because he saw Harry's family, or maybe because he saw how Finny played tricks on Muggles who had never been taken seriously by him.

All in all, he was happy.

When he walked out of the station, Feeney saw Sirius riding a brand new motorcycle.

Sirius must have also seen Finny. He got off the motorcycle excitedly and opened his arms to try to hug Finny.

"Finney, long time no see. How are you at school?"

Sirius and Finny hugged each other and asked,

Feeney shrugged.

"That's good. I think you also know that I am so strong in the academy. Slytherin's unspoken rules have no binding force on me, so I am naturally living a good life."

Sirius smiled cheerfully,

In the past few months since he came out of Azkaban, Sirius has changed into what he was before. He was originally skinny and skinny, but now muscles have appeared on his body. His originally sloppy hair has been processed and turned into a handsome and elegant man. of Beatles classic releases,

The first two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing the metal pendant inside, but Feeney didn't see clearly what it looked like. Of course, it was just a detail that didn't need to be taken care of.

The sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows made it even more obvious that Sirius had a special aura about him.

Although Sirius left the family at a very young age and stayed in Azkaban for ten years, after all, he is also the direct heir of the Black family, one of the largest nobles in the wizarding world, and his aristocratic aura is unmistakable. It cannot be covered up.

Finny smiled and pointed to Draco who was looking blank beside him and said,

"Now, this is Draco Malfoy, cousin Narcissa's child, our nephew,"

Although Sirius has a poor sense of the Malfoy family and does not want to interact with them, he still wants to give Finny face, and he also wants to make up for his little brother.

So he nodded to Draco with a very ugly smile on his face. Feeney didn't care and continued,

"Although Lucius did do some very bad things in the past, and the Malfoy family's usual attitude is also very annoying, but Draco is our junior after all, and cousin Narcissa is also our only remaining relative, so , it is quite necessary to restore relations with the Malfoy family,"

After saying this, Feeney smiled and said in a much lower voice,

"Besides, the Malfoy family is not invincible. We need more say in the Presbyterian Church. I think Lucius will also hope that the Malfoy family will become a sworn family of the Presbyterian Church again. I plan to visit them tomorrow."

While saying this, a golden flash flashed aside,

Feeney stopped talking and turned around to look, only to see a couple dressed in gorgeous clothes but making people feel disgusting for an unknown reason walking over.

Looking at the skilled face and the tall golden hairline, Feeney recognized the person.

"Mr. Malfoy, Cousin Narcissa,"

He smiled and greeted visitors,

"I was just telling Sirius that I was going to visit you tomorrow,"

Lucius was stunned and glanced at Sirius,

Sirius still had a very forced smile on his face,

Lucius had already told Narcissa that he wanted to get back on good terms with the Black family when it came to Finny's treatment of the vampires. Therefore, facing Finny's kindness, he hurriedly expressed his kindness.

"Really? Then I need to be well prepared. This is your first time coming to your cousin's house, Feeney."

Lucius did not call Feeney Mr. Black, nor did he call him by his full name. Instead, he called him Feeney, which is what people who are very close to him would call him. The relationship between the two people,

And his attitude was very respectful and the etiquette was very thoughtful. While he was bringing the relationship between the two parties closer, he did not ignore the essential differences between the two families - compared with the Black family, the Malfoy family was really not good enough.

Feeney smiled and said,

"There's no need to go to such trouble. I'm just making a simple display. It's the kind of communication between relatives. It's not a formal display."

Feeney emphasized,

For a formal visit, you need to say hello a few days in advance, and then both parties must be prepared. Visitors need to bring some gifts, usually a bottle of red wine, which is not expensive.

The visitors need to understand the visitor’s habits in advance and prepare food and refreshments in advance.

If it is a large-scale social event like a dance or tea party, you also need to know the habits of the visitor's female companion, the requirements for dance music and refreshments, and the visitor's preference for tobacco.

Because after large-scale social gatherings, the male hosts often come to the study room to taste tobacco and red wine together, and at the same time discuss some topics that are not suitable for their female companions to hear, usually politics, business, cooperation between them, and There are all kinds of nasty jokes and gossip.

If it is a private visit between friends and relatives, there are not so many rules. You only need to notify one day in advance, or earlier in the day. There is no fixed process of tasting tobacco together, and there will be no complicated social interactions. process,

Visitors are also free to decide whether to prepare gifts. The types of gifts are not limited to red wine. Of course, the value is also not specified.

However, no matter which way Feeney visits the Malfoy family tomorrow, in the eyes of other families in the wizarding world, it will be a formal social interaction between the Black family and the Malfoy family, especially when Hogwarts starts school this year. , after Finit stood up for the Malfoy family, it was tantamount to announcing to the wizarding world that the Malfoy family had joined the Black family's faction and would become members of the same team, supporting each other.

Of course, in fact, it is more about the support of the Black family to the Malfoy family, and the Malfoy family needs to stand in line with the Black family when they need it, or act as a pawn to do things that are inconvenient for the Black family.
