Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 415

Harry found himself walking down a corridor again, leading to a locked door, dark and deep...

"No!" He woke up suddenly with a dull pain in his scar.

Panting heavily, he looked up to find Ron already dressed and talking to him.

"Ivan didn't seem to come back last night!" He muttered, looking at Aiwen's bed, there was no sign of anyone sleeping on it, "or came back, but got up early again. Well, we'd better hurry up too , Mom just came up and told us to hurry up and go to sleep, she was going to lose her temper, she said we might not catch the train."

When Harry put on his clothes and went downstairs as quickly as possible, Ivan and Hermione had already finished their breakfast!

Ivan did not go back last night. He turned into a kitten and lay in Hermione's arms all night.

After the two of them tossed about, Hermione finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, but he didn't sleep well.

He was not used to sleeping on other people's body, and the smell of Hermione always made him cranky, so he couldn't fall asleep.

No matter who it is, let him keep lying in that position in that position, it will probably be like this.

If you don't believe me, you can become a cat to feel it yourself, and you will know what's going on.

For the next half hour, the whole house was in chaos.

Ivan and Hermione's salutes were all spread out in his carry-on pocket, but the others couldn't do it, and no pocket could hold such a large suitcase, so they had to move their suitcases with great effort.

Fred and George enchanted their boxes so that they would fly downstairs instead of having to carry them themselves.

Instead, the box crashed right into Ginny, sending her rolling down two flights of stairs into the hall.

Suddenly, Mrs. Black and Mrs. Weasley screamed at the top of their lungs at the same time.

"It could seriously hurt her, you two idiots!"

"Dirty bastard, defile my ancestor's house!"

Fred and George hurried over to apologize to Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley hurriedly bandaged her.

Everyone else looked nervous, and Harry and Ron simply ate a few bites before going upstairs to get their suitcases.

Only then did Hermione realize that Crookshanks had gone somewhere, and followed her upstairs to find Crookshanks.

After a while, Hedwig flew in staggeringly, and it brought back a letter from Hermione's parents.

At Hermione's insistence, Ivan also wrote a letter to his parents last night, telling them that he became the president of the Boys Student Union. He tied his letter to Hedwig's lap. Said about it.

Hedwig seemed dissatisfied with being sent out just after returning.

Let Aiwen say a lot of good things, and pecked his finger hard, before he flapped his wings and flew out.

Finally, everyone was ready and there was not much time left, but Mad-Eye Moody blocked the door and insisted on refusing to leave. He complained that everyone couldn't leave until Storgy Podmore came, otherwise the guards would There is only one person missing.

Moody seems to be very dissatisfied with Sturgis Podmore. He borrowed Moody's invisibility cloak when he was escorting Harry before, and he has not returned it until now.

"Guards?" Harry asked incredulously, carrying a heavy leather suitcase, "We need guards at King's Cross Station?"

"You need guards at King's Cross Station," Hermione corrected him, holding the writhing Crookshanks in her arms.

"Why?" Harry said impatiently, suddenly becoming inexplicably irritable. "I think Voldemort is lurking and biding his time. Are you going to tell me that he will jump out from behind a dustbin and kill me?" Is it? Or are those dementors mixed in with the crowd?"

"Mad-Eye obviously thinks so." Ivan said, telling him about Hedwig's return just now.

"Honestly!" said Hermione absent-mindedly, looking at her watch. "If we don't get going soon, we're going to miss the train!"

"Please, Alastor, we have to go!" Mrs. Weasley apparently thought so too.

She dragged Ginny, who was simply bandaged, out of the kitchen. Fred and George kept following Ginny, making her laugh.

Everyone was crowded in the narrow hall, and Mrs. Black's portrait was shouting angrily, but no one drew the draperies over her, and the noise in the hall would surely wake her up again anyway.

"Okay, let's go, remember our plan last night?" Moody gruffly said.

"The plan is simple, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and others, follow me, Remus, and Tonks!" Mrs. Weasley raised her voice, overshadowing the hoarse, repeated " Bastard! Scum! Dirty scum!" yelled, "Especially you, Harry, come in the middle and put down your trunk and empty owl cage, Alastor will take care of the luggage."

Chapter 909 Disguise and the Hogwarts Express

Everyone left the salute to Moody, and they helped to bring them to the station. When the door was closed heavily behind them, and Mrs. Black's screams were immediately cut off, everyone felt their ears were cleared up, and they felt a lot more relaxed. , glad to finally be out of here.

In the faint sunlight of a September morning, they came down the steps of number 12, and just as they were on the sidewalk, the house was gone!

"Where's Tonks?" Harry asked. "Why didn't I see her?"

In fact, they saw no other guards this morning except Moody and Lupine, who hadn't left last night.

"She's waiting for us over there," said Mrs. Weasley grimly. "We've got to hold on tight."

"Nobody else will show up except her, they'll follow us in the shadows in disguise," said Lupine mildly, also in a Muggle suit, "it was Mad-Eye's idea, too How easy it is to attract attention, we were going to start in three teams, but we didn't have that many guards."

"Disguised?" Harry thought of Polyjuice Potion for a moment.

Not long ago, Alvin surprised him by using Polyjuice Potion to transform into Gabriel.

"Yes, this is a skill that Aurors must master." Lupine said simply, "It is very important not to show your true colors when fighting a dark wizard."

The group walked a few steps forward and saw an old lady greeting them at the corner of the street.

She had gray hair in little curls and a purple hat shaped like a pork pie.

If she hadn't taken the initiative to greet him, it would be almost impossible to recognize this as Tonks.

"Good morning!" she said with a wink. "We've got to hurry up, don't we, Molly?"

"I know, I know!" sighed Mrs. Weasley, taking a bigger step. "Mad-Eye still wants to wait for Sturgis, well, if Arthur can borrow the car from the Ministry That's fine, but recently Fudge won't even lend him an empty ink bottle, how can Muggles stand to travel without magic??"

Ivan didn't know what happened to the portable swamp that Fred and George left under Percy's seat, but since the trial ended, Mr. Weasley's situation has obviously gotten worse, and Fudge is forcing him to take the initiative resigned.

They walked for 10 minutes to King's Cross station without any major incident.

As soon as they entered the station, they pretended to be nonchalant and wandered by the wall between platforms 9 and 10, and waited until there was no one around, then leaned against the wall one by one, and crossed to the platform without anyone noticing.

I saw the Hogwarts Express stop there, emitting black steam, and the platform was crowded with students and their families who were saying goodbye.

Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George all became excited. Breathing the familiar smell, they felt as happy as if their hearts were about to fly. They were going back to Hogwarts. It's gone!

This summer vacation this year seems to be extremely long, especially for Ivan, who has not been in school for more than half a year.

When they appeared, the atmosphere on the lively platform changed suddenly, and many people noticed them immediately.

Ivan saw many Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students secretly pointing at him and talking to their parents.

Most of the Slytherins looked directly at them with hostile eyes, avoiding them from a distance.

Even Gryffindor was full of disagreements, with some shying away in fear and others heading straight for it.

There were only a small number of wizards who came over, and they all supported Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, such as Neville and his grandmother.

She is very old, she is wearing a green robe, a fox fur scarf, and a tall hat with a stuffed eagle on top, she looks terrible, she is one of the few things Ivan has seen There are many people who can directly call Voldemort's name.

She made it clear that she supported Aiwen and the others, and already knew that the Order of the Phoenix had resumed operations!

The old lady's regret is that no one from the Lombardi family joined the Order of the Phoenix to fight Voldemort this time, and she kept saying that Neville was far worse than Ivan, Harry and his father. I hope she The grandson could be a little braver.

Neville was the same as before, not daring to refute a word Granny said.

Several people stood and talked for a while, until the train made a long roar and began to emit white steam.

"I really hope that Arthur and Alastor will arrive in time." Mrs. Wei Xinlai said anxiously, "Ah, they are here!"

Mr. Weasley and Moody pushed a cart full of boxes through the archway, Moody limping, a porter's hat pulled low over his asymmetrical eyes.

"Aren't you in trouble?"

"No!" said Mr. Weasley.

"Everything is fine!" Moody whispered to Lupine, Mrs. Weasley, and Tonks. "It looks like we're not being followed."

"That's good!" Several people hurriedly unloaded the salute and put it on the train.

"It's too much, I still have to sue Dumbledore against Sturge." Moody said, seeming very dissatisfied, "This is the second time he hasn't shown up in a week, how can this story become like Mundungus is just as unreliable."

"Now, take care of yourselves," said Lupine, shaking hands with each of them.

"Hogwarts is a little different this year, be careful and remember to watch Harry." He walked up to Ivan and said softly.

"I know!" Ivan raised his eyebrows, hoping that confronting Umbridge would not be too boring.

Finally, Lupine came up to Harry and patted him on the shoulder, "You too, Harry, be careful."

"Yeah, stay out of trouble and be on your guard," said Moody. "Don't forget what I taught you last term, and don't forget, each of you, that you don't write everything when you're in doubt. , just don't write to the letter at all. In fact, I think you'd better not write to the outside world, especially Sirius..."

"It's great to see you all," said Tonks, putting his arms around Hermione and Ginny. "We'll see each other again soon."

The whistle to remind everyone to get on the train sounded again, and the students standing on the platform began to board the train in a hurry.

"Come on, come on!" said Mrs. Weasley distractedly, hugging them all wildly. "Take care, if you forget anything, we'll send for it. Now, get in the car, come on." Hurry up!"

Several people hurried onto the train, and they kept waving to the outside of the open window.

Soon, the figures of Tonks, Lupine, Moody, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley shrank.

"School has finally started, what should we do now?"

"We have something to talk to Lee about!" Fred said, "Evan, are you coming?"

"No, don't forget that Ivan is still the chairman of the Boys Student Union..." Hermione said directly.

"Yeah, yeah, see you later, boy boss!" Fred waved his hand.

After speaking, he and George disappeared into the aisle on the right.

Chapter 910 The Prefect Compartment

The train was moving faster, and the houses outside the window flashed back, and they stood still and shook.

"What is the President of the Student Union going to do?" Harry asked curiously.

"Professor McGonagall told me last night that the main purpose is to maintain order, manage the prefects, participate in the formulation of some specific policies of the school, plan activities, and so on. In fact, there is not much specific work." Ivan said.

In his opinion, most things can be handled by the prefects, and he doesn't want to take care of those trivial matters.

He didn't have enough time, and the status symbolism of the boy's student union president is more important. When he wants to do something, he has a good shelter and has sufficient reasons, rather than actually doing specific practical things. Work.

"We can't stand here forever..." Ginny reminded.

"Yes, we should find a box." Harry nodded hastily.

"It's like this, Harry, I, Ivan and Ron should go to the prefect's compartment." Hermione said with some embarrassment.

"Before the semester starts, let's meet and talk about guiding freshmen for a while." Ai Wen said.

Ron wasn't looking at Harry, who seemed suddenly very interested in the nails on his left hand.

"Prefect's carriage?!" said Harry, realizing immediately, "Oh, all right, all right."

"I don't think we'll be there the whole way," said Hermione quickly. "The letter says that the prefects are going to take instructions from the Head Boy and Head Girl respectively, and then make their rounds in the corridors from time to time. a bit."

"Don't tell me I forgot, and I have to lecture the prefects..." Aiwen said, and Hermione gave him a dissatisfied look.

"Okay, you guys go, see you later." Harry said again.

"Well, see you later, Harry, Ginny!" Ivan waved his hand.

"You know, I don't want to go there, I'd rather..." Ron stammered, giving Harry a frightened, evasive look as if he'd betrayed him, "but we have to Go, I mean, I don't like going at all, I'm not Percy, don't give a shit about prefects or head of students."

His last sentence was categorical and resolute.

"I know you're not." Harry grinned as he said, "Let's go, remember to support Ivan."

Having said that, when Ivan, Hermione, and Ron walked towards the locomotive, Harry still felt a strange sense of loss. Every time he took the Hogwarts Express before, he always followed Rowan. Well together.

"Come on!" Ginny said to him. "If we hurry up, we can get a seat for them."

"Okay," said Harry, lifting Hedwig's empty cage with one hand and grabbing the handle of the box with the other.

After separating from Harry and Ginny, the three of them went straight to the locomotive, and the front section was the prefect carriage.

"The main task of the student union president is to manage the prefects. Aiwen, as the youngest male student union president in centuries, others may raise objections..." Hermione said worriedly, reminding him that he should What to pay attention to, "Others are fine, but Manfred Gleeson, the prefect of Slytherin, needs extra attention."

"Manfred Gleeson?!" Ivan recalled a tall, somewhat burly boy.

He had no contact with this guy before, only knew that he was a Slytherin prefect, three years older than him.

"Like the rest of the Slytherins, Gleeson is a nasty guy," said Ron. "Do you remember that time two years ago when all the Slytherins boycotted Professor Lupine? He was the leader one of the people."

If Cedric Diggory is still there, this year's Boys' Student Union President is none other than him. After he becomes a vampire and transfers to another school, the most hopeful to become the Boys' Student Union President is the seventh-year Slytherin student Manfred Gregory. Leeson.

In fact, even Gleason himself thought so.
