When Dobby sent Harry to a hidden corner of King's Cross Station, he went straight back as Douglas requested.
Harry, who was just about to enter the station, noticed that Mr. Weasley was standing at the pillar of the ninth platform, looking around.
When he saw Harry walking with his luggage alone, he stepped forward quickly.
Then he looked around and said angrily:
"Where's Douglas? Didn't I tell the house-elf to tell Douglas he must bring you here himself?"
It was the first time Harry saw Mr. Weasley with such an attitude, but he also understood something, so he explained:
"Maybe he feels uncomfortable because he can no longer go to Hogwarts to teach. Dobby sent me and left."
Only then did Mr. Weasley come back to his senses, and when he remembered Douglas's job in Defense Against the Dark Arts, his expression immediately eased.
"Sorry, I almost forgot about this, the ministry is too busy recently, I wanted to have a good chat with him during the time when I was sending the child off.
Aha, it's getting late, Ron and the others have already gone in, let's talk after we go in. "
Said that he pretended to be very interested in the intercity train on the ninth platform, and then quickly led Harry through the partition wall of the platform.
In the blink of an eye, they passed through the solid metal wall and came to platform nine and three-quarters.
Look up and see the Hogwarts Express - a bright red steam locomotive, spitting
Smoking, the platform was crowded with wizards and wizards of men and women who came to escort their children to the train.
Harry saw the Weasley family standing not far away at a glance, and Mr. Weasley led him quickly towards his wife.
When Mrs. Weasley saw her husband bringing Harry alone, she couldn't help but frowned.
Mr. Weasley hurriedly went to her ear to explain, and Mrs. Weasley's face was a little ashamed again.
In their view, not being able to continue teaching at Hogwarts must have been a very big blow to Douglas.
After all, he worked so hard last semester.
Harry greeted everyone happily.
Percy glanced around Harry, and then looked a little disappointed, and then saw the new female student president, looking at him with a smile through the car window.
Immediately, Percy stroked his hair, blushing slightly.
Soon Hermione came too.
Mr. Weasley led the children into the car, walked through the crowded boxes, and finally found an empty box.
While everyone was packing their luggage, Mr. Weasley pulled Harry aside and said:
"Before you leave, there is something I must tell you..."
Harry smiled and said:
"No sir, I already know...
In fact, after returning from Diagon Alley that day, my uncle, Professor Holmes, told me everything...including the fact that Blake was once my godfather. "
Mr. Weasley looked at the calm Harry with surprise.
At this time, Mrs. Weasley came over, glared at Mr. Weasley, and said to Harry with a smile:
"Harry, you go and put your luggage away first."
After Harry left, Mrs. Weasley looked at Mr. Weasley angrily:
"Didn't I say the truth would scare him! That danger is always there, do you really want Harry to go back to school with that shadow in his mind? For God's sake, he's kept in the dark would be happier."
Mr. Weasley came back to his senses, looked at Mrs. Weasley with a wry smile, and said helplessly:
"Does he look like he has a shadow, Molly? I didn't say anything. Douglas has already told him everything, including the fact that Sirius was once his godfather..."
Mrs. Weasley covered her mouth in surprise, and glanced at Harry who was teasing the cat.
She complained softly:
"Well, doesn't Douglas know what Harry and Ron are..."
Mr. Weasley hugged his wife's shoulders and said with relief:
"Maybe Douglas explained something to Harry. After all, he used to be Harry's professor, and now he is his cousin. I hope Harry can settle down a bit this semester."
Under the urging of the guards, Mr. Weasley and his wife said goodbye to everyone, and then got out of the car.
As the train moved slowly, the children who bid farewell to their parents began to discuss their holiday life.
Harry whispered to Ron and Hermione:
"I need to talk to you guys alone."
Ginny also wanted to come over, but Ron yelled dissatisfiedly:
"Ginny, you go away!"
Ginny said angrily, "Okay, no problem."
The three walked down the aisle, looking for an empty compartment, but almost all the compartments were full, except for the one at the rear of the car.
There was only an adult man sleeping soundly by the window sitting in the cubicle, and the three of them wondered if this was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
After all, the Hogwarts Express train is mainly for students, except for the witch who sells food, basically I have never seen other adults.
But the other party was wearing a dilapidated wizard robe, and there were still several places on it that had been mended.
Curled up in that sickly body, with no strength at all.
Although he looked very young, his light brown hair was already a little gray.
Ron quietly closed the sliding door of the cubicle, and sat down in a seat away from the window.
He lowered his voice and said:
"Could this be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester? It looks like he's a bit worse than Professor Holmes.
The two of you have stayed at the professor's house for so long, and haven't heard any news? "
Harry said quietly:
"My cousin only said that he knew the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but he didn't say anything else."
Hermione said softly:
"Professor RJ Lupine."
Ron and Harry asked in surprise:
"how do you know?"
Hermione replied, pointing helplessly at the luggage rack above the man's head.
There was a little shabby box, bound up with many cords, neatly knotted,
Professor RJ Lupine's name is stamped on the corner of the box, the lettering has peeled off a bit.
Ron sighed silently:
"At any rate, you took tutoring at Professor Holmes' house during the summer vacation. Even if he is not competent, your grades should not be too bad.
Look at his appearance, a powerful witch might be able to kill him, oh, what can I do this semester.
My mother didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly asked me to pass all the exams this semester.
She'll take me home if she hears anything about my breaking any school rules... By the way, Harry, what do you want to tell us? "
Harry told the two of them again what Douglas had told him.
After he finished speaking, Ron was dumbfounded, Hermione covered her mouth with her hands, and she subconsciously glanced at Professor Lupine by the window, always feeling that he seemed to have moved a moment ago.
At last she dropped her hands and said:
"Sirius Black escaped to find you? Why have I been here for so long? The professor never said anything about it. He should have known about it a long time ago. He doesn't seem to be nervous at all."
Ron interrupted Hermione and said:
"Of course it's Professor Holmes' self-confidence. He is so powerful. Don't forget that he beat Snape to the ground...
But I'm even more surprised that Sirius Black is your godfather..."
Harry said disdainfully:
"I don't have that kind of godfather. The most important thing now is to complete the task my cousin entrusted to me. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Although it was talking about you, Harry's eyes were mainly on Hermione.
Hermione scratched her hair and said annoyedly:
"Leave me alone first...
I don't understand why the professor would think of organizing students to investigate the details of the truth about Sirius Black.
Do you remember what happened to Hagrid, was Sirius Black wronged? "
Harry reminded:
"The uncle said that Black was never tried at all, and was directly imprisoned in Azkaban.
So he doesn't care what the result of our investigation is, as long as we find out the details behind it.
This is not the point, the point is that he asked me to organize the students, which is my task. "
Ron suddenly said curiously:
"Guess what kind of gift he will reward you in the end?"
Harry said hesitantly:
"I don't think it's a set of test questions. After all, he gave it away this year. On my birthday..."
Ron also drooped his head, sighed and said:
"I received it too, but we are still three years away from the Owls exam..."
Harry, who was just about to enter the station, noticed that Mr. Weasley was standing at the pillar of the ninth platform, looking around.
When he saw Harry walking with his luggage alone, he stepped forward quickly.
