Chapter 624: Parting is a good reunion
At noon the next day, London Heathrow Airport.
In the send-off area, Hermione and her mother hugged each other tightly. Mrs. Eric held Angel in her arms, looking at Mr. Eric and Soul next door with reluctance and uneasiness in her eyes.
Mr. Ellison stretched out his hand to pull Su Er's collar and patted his shoulder gently.
"Be safe and protect yourself."
Sule pursed his lips tightly, glanced at Mrs. Ellison and his sister who thought they were going to France for vacation, then looked at Mr. Ellison again, and nodded vigorously.
In fact, Mr. Ellison is unwilling to leave if possible, but smart people know that if he stays here, it is very likely that, oh no, if he is used by the enemy, it will only cause big trouble for his son. When faced with something that you cannot fight against with human power, the best way to help is to leave.
Although parting is sad, it does not mean never seeing each other again.
After a while,
Hermione and Soul stood outside the airport. Hermione's eyes were red, and she leaned quietly in Soul's arms. The two of them looked up at the sky.
There, a pure white plane roared into the sky.
"We'll meet again soon." Soul gently touched Hermione's shoulder and stared at the big white bird disappearing among the white clouds.
"It won't be long."
Since Sirius was not eliminated, Harry's summer vacation was not too difficult. The Dursleys almost ignored him, as if he did not exist in the family.
Sirius left St. Mungo's earlier than expected.
The therapist believed that as long as Sirius didn't seek death and took the medicine on time, he would be able to be alive and kicking soon. In addition, the number of patients at St. Mungo's had surged recently, so Sirius had to leave with a bandage.
He has no regrets about this.
There were no pretty nurses at St. Mungo's, they were all old witches, and they had to be manipulated by the old witch every day. He had long wanted to leave.
The first time he left, he asked Remus Lupine to go with him to No. 4 Privet Drive to pick up Harry.
As for Soul, after putting his family on the plane, he also left Lily Street with Hermione and came to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
He agreed to Dumbledore's invitation, and the official letter of appointment would not be sent until the end of July.
I don’t know how poor Professor Snape would feel after knowing that Penglai was so close and within easy reach, and that the Defense Against the Dark Arts position he longed for was snatched away by Soul.
As for Slughorn, who was supposed to appear... Oh, Soul doesn't know him. Anyway, since he agreed to Dumbledore to take up the professorship, his prophetic advantage must have been lost. This is the inevitable price of changing the plot.
I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing to give up the prophetic advantage.
Let's wait and see where the future will go.
Sol was lying on the sofa, looking at Harry who was chatting happily with Sirius not far away, his eyes dim... at least the most important thread should still follow the original route.
Merlin twisted the stockings that had become damp due to the heat, and July passed quietly in this rain that smelled of sweat and salt.
During this month, 12 Grimmauld Place was like an isolated paradise. No one came to disturb them, and no one suddenly pulled out their wands and jumped out to launch terrorist attacks. There were only Harry, Ron and Hermione. The others practiced magic hard in the vast basement under the house under the guidance of Sirius.
Oh, it’s not like there’s no contact with the outside world at all.
At least the owl sent the results of the little wizards who had just entered the sixth grade. Oh no, to be precise, it was Kreacher who brought the report cards in from outside, because Dumbledore and the others were obviously very interested in Grimmauld Place. On the 12th, the protection was strengthened.
This was of course to protect Harry.
Unlike in the original book, after Sirius died, the house was at risk of being exposed.
But as long as Sirius didn't die, it would be safe here, so they didn't need to move to the Burrow.
By the way, the Burrow is now occupied by people, yes, it is not vacant. Do you remember Fleur Delacour who appeared in Goblet of Fire? She fell in love with the eldest son of the Weasley family, and the crooked house where the seven Weasley children grew up temporarily became Bill and Fleur's love nest.
Mrs. Weasley seemed to be dissatisfied with Fleur. In order to avoid a war between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Weasley chose to hide here on the grounds of taking care of Harry and Ron.
With these explanations here, let us get back to the topic.
Harry was very satisfied with his results. Most of them were good. He got a pass in astronomy and a dazzling distinction in Defense Against the Dark Arts. To his surprise, he got a bad grade in Divination instead of a troll.
Needless to say, Hermione was one of the nine excellent and performed well and steadily.
Everyone said that she did very well in the exam, but she was not very satisfied because the only good thing was in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
……
Soul's appointment letter was sent to him by Moody when Hermione followed Harry and the others to Diagon Alley to prepare the learning tools she would need for the next school year.
It's a pity that Soul couldn't see the magic shop opened by the Weasley brothers with his own eyes. No, or rather
Oh, come to think of it, he hasn't met the Weasley brothers even once since he arrived at Grimmauld Place.
According to the original job requirements, Suer should have asked the young wizards to prepare some magic books as teaching tools, but Suer had his own plans. He was not going to arrange theoretical classes for the children, or in other words, they would focus on practice. in theory.
Before the upcoming war, increasing the self-protection capabilities of the little wizards is the top priority. Talking can't save the world, and the truth is always on the edge of the knife.
Dumbledore also agreed with this.
Because of the tense situation, Harry and the others returned to the Black Mansion not long after.
It sounded like they were happy, at least Ron was like that. Sur could hear Ron's heartache even as he lay quietly on the sofa.
"George and Fred have become rich. They are the only ones with the best business in Diagon Alley! I'm my brother, and they actually charge me three galleons and nine kilos! It's just a Nat, damn it."
And Mrs. Weasley's scolding.
"Quiet, Ron, it's not easy for George and Fred to do business."
"But they gave Hermione two miniature Puffins! And there's so much stuff!" Ron said reluctantly, "Even Ginny got one!"
"Ginny is my sister." Mrs. Weasley's voice was full of matter-of-factness.
"What about Hermione?" Ron said reluctantly.
"You know the reason, Ron, do you have to tell me? Don't think I don't know where George and Fred got the funds to open the shop?" Mrs. Weasley was angry.
The Sur man stood up, put his paws on the back of the sofa and looked outside.
Harry's expression was gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking, while Hermione and Ginny were exchanging comments on the dwarf velvet in their hands.
