Chapter 116
Chapter 117 It’s the first day of school again.
Mrs. Diggory couldn’t resist Mrs. Diggory’s enthusiasm, so everyone had to stay for dinner.
In order to prevent Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Lovegood from worrying, they wrote letters and sent them to their respective parents using Cedric’s owl.
At about five o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Diggory returned from the Ministry of Magic.
He was surprised at first that there were so many little wizards in the house, and then behaved the same way as Mrs. Diggory, holding Ivis’s hand and thanking him constantly for inviting Cedric to the Merlin Order of Merlin award ceremony.
Although Ives repeatedly emphasized that Cedric was his good friend, the Diggory couple still acted enthusiastically.
On the dinner table, there was a plate of burnt cookies in front of Ives. He wanted to reach over it and reach for another plate of delicate butter cookies in the distance. But he suddenly felt a piercing gaze on him.
Elvis turned his head and saw Hermione sitting next to him staring at him angrily.
She puffed up her face and frowned, like a little squirrel
“Speaking of Hermione, what are you three girls doing this afternoon?”He asked curiously. The boys were bragging and spanking in Cedric’s room, and Hermione and the other three were not seen all afternoon.
Hermione tilted her head and moved her eyes to the plate of burnt music. Qi Shang said,”Nothing.”
Seeing this, Ives understood instantly. He picked up the black briquette-like cookies from left to right, picked up a piece that looked relatively good, and put it into his mouth. It was so painful, this was his first A feeling. But looking at Hermione’s expectant eyes, he could only praise it against his will:”It’s delicious.”
Hermione’s frown relaxed and she smiled.
Except for Ivis, this was a dinner where the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Facing the sunset, they set off on their way home. Leaving Digory’s house Mrs. Diggory also stuffed each of them with a small bag of butter cookies, which she had baked in the afternoon.
“Welcome back,” the Diggory family stood at the door and waved goodbye to them.
Everyone sent Luna home first, and then returned to the Burrow.
Ivis, Hermione and Harry stayed at the Burrow for a few more days. In the meantime , Ives has been trying to find Voldemort’s diary. But no matter how he hinted, the Weasley siblings said they had never seen a black diary.
Is the Horcrux still in Lucius’s hands? He could only make Such a guess.
Let Dumbledore have a headache. Ives sighed and stopped paying attention.
The day after returning to London, Hermione went abroad with her parents for a trip. This was a plan they had made early. , their family is going to France for more than a month, and will not come back until before the start of school.
Harry also went abroad with Sirius, and Sirius even wrote a letter specifically asking Elvis if he wanted to come with them. The fee was of course very rich. Sirius was all-inclusive.
Ives declined his invitation. He had already had enough rest and decided to spend the rest of the summer in a box and continue to learn magic.
……
The rest of the summer vacation passed through my fingers like quicksand, and soon the day of school started on September 1st.
Early in the morning, the Grangers came to visit.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Elvis was surprised to find that Hermione seemed to have grown a lot taller, and her baby-fat little face had become thinner and more beautiful.
Girls at this age are developing, and they look almost the same every day.
Hermione had tanned a bit from he
r trip to France, and her neck and face were wheat-colored, but the skin exposed on her wrists was still fair.
Hermione stood in front of Avis with a smile and said hello:”Long time no see.””
“Long time no see,” Ives also smiled back.
“Have you done your homework?”
“It’s been done a long time ago, what about you?”
“Me too”……
Although the two had been in frequent phone contact over the past month, they still had endless things to say after meeting.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger and Mr. and Mrs. Evans stood in the distance, watching this scene with aunty smiles on their faces.
They didn’t sit in the car until the time came to half past nine.
There was a serious traffic jam on the road leading to Kingdom Cross Station. When they arrived at platform 9¾, it was already close to eleven o’clock.
After saying goodbye to his family, Ives carried the suitcase and pulled Hermione across the platform quickly – both of their luggage were placed in Ives’ suitcase.
The Hogwarts Express is about to leave, and only the parents are left on the platform to see them off.
Elvis and Hermione walked through the crowd, walked quickly into the train, and walked along the corridor looking for empty carriages.
At the back of the train, they finally found a compartment with only one person sitting in it.
Elvis opened the door and walked in with Hermione.
The little witch in the box was reading a book, and she hid her whole head behind the magazine. Ives asked politely:”Hello, is there only one person here?”
The little witch put down the book in her hand and revealed her face. It turned out to be Luna.
“Yes.”She raised her head in a daze, and an ethereal voice came, saying hello:”Hello, Ives, Hermione.”
“Long time no see Luna,” Hermione reminded kindly,”You held the book upside down.”
Luna then straightened the book belatedly. She tilted her head and said calmly:”Thank you.”
There was no hint of gratitude in her tone.
Fortunately, Hermione was used to Luna’s disconnection. She sat next to Luna and chatted with her about interesting things that happened during the summer vacation.
While the three of them were chatting, one A beautiful girl with long black hair opened the door of the box and walked in. Behind her was a boy –
Qiu and Cedric.
The two were having a heated argument, which was not common.
Cedric usually acted like one He looked gentle, especially in front of Qiu.
Qiu walked in and sat on the left side of Hermione, while Cedric sat on the right side of Ivis, and the two continued to argue face to face.
“I think Professor Lockhart would be very competent. Look at his books.……”
“He wrote it all himself! Cedric said loudly,”Who knows if it’s true!” He’s just a pretty boy who doesn’t see much use.”
This is the first time they have heard Cedric describe a person in such sharp terms.
“But Principal Dumbledore asked him to be our professor,” Qiu argued,”that means he must have real talent. Cedric said unconvinced,”Although I respect the principal very much, he must have misjudged this time. You see, Quirrell was still a dark wizard last year!””
“What’s more, recent reports are saying,” Cedric took out a few newspapers from his arms and handed them to Ives, asking him to comment.”Lockhart can’t even use a separation spell. A clown.”
What those newspapers reported was what happened on the day of the autograph session. The reporters, without exception, were ridiculing Lockhart for not even being able to use a separation spell in front of everyone.
“Professor Lockhart had explained that it was because his wand happened to be broken.”Qiu retorted.
