The fireplace at King's Cross is rudimentary, if not the worst.

When he came out of there, Harry was covered in dark ashes, and the messy head of the chicken coop was the worst hit.

This forced him to quietly take out his wand and cast himself several Cleansing Charms.

After finally tidying up to look a little more human, Harry noticed something unusual.

In the past, King's Cross Station during the day was always a busy scene.

At night, there may be some homeless people with wine bottles and nothing to do here.

But in the daytime, this place belongs to the office workers. There are pedestrians in a hurry everywhere. Walking here, you can't help but speed up your own pace.

But today is different.

At King's Cross, especially around the Floo Fireplace and the entrance to Platform Nine and Three-quarters, Harry found a lot of idle, leisurely figures.

Although these people were also wearing Muggle clothes, they pretended to be on their way.

But their special temperament was so conspicuous in Harry's eyes.

In particular, Harry also found two very familiar people among them.

The two Aurors, one tall and thin and one fat and short.

The two of them were dispatched almost every year to maintain the security of King's Cross and platforms nine and three-quarters.

Harry found them almost every time he came to King's Cross.

And if you say that, those people dressed in the same clothes as them are also Aurors?

Harry felt a little unbelievable.

Although the Ministry of Magic has been implementing the Auror force expansion plan for more than a year, the number of Aurors should not be large enough to send so many people to maintain King's Cross Station, right?

With such doubts, Harry cautiously approached the two Aurors, one tall and one short, and asked in a low voice:

"Gentlemen, have you been sent to stand guard again this year?"

Harry's voice just fell, and the two Aurors, one tall and one short, were like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and were so frightened that they jumped back.

The tall, thin, agile Auror even reached into his pockets, obviously holding his wand.

Fortunately, they apparently knew Harry too.

"Aha! It's our savior Harry!"

The tall and thin Auror took out his hand again and breathed a sigh of relief.

Harry nodded in embarrassment, feeling a little too excited for the two of them to react.

It didn't quite fit the elite image of the Auror in his mind.

"I just wanted to ask," said Harry, "how did you send so many people this year?"

"It was discovered by you?"

The chunky Auror said in disbelief.

"Yeah, after all, the two of you are too conspicuous. It's easy to identify other people's identities by the behavior and dress of the two of you."

Hearing what Harry said, the short and fat Auror and the tall and thin Auror looked at each other, and their faces were extremely ugly.

"You mean you found out all this through the two of us? It's over, this time we're completely over!"

"Yes, Silger will definitely kill us!"

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked in confusion. "Who will kill you?"

The tall and thin Auror turned his head with a pale face and said:

"Hilger, our captain. If he finds out that our security operation was exposed because of the two of us, he will definitely deduct all our wages... No! Not only that, he may directly Relegated us to the striker unit!"

"When did the Auror troops have such a rule? How come I've never heard of it?"

"Don't say you haven't heard of it, I didn't even hear it three months ago. In fact, this is a new decree issued after the reorganization of the Ministry of Magic to weed out some incompetent Aurors from the Auror force."

When he said this, the tall and thin Auror instinctively pointed to himself.

Obviously, he also doesn't think he's a competent Auror.

This made Harry almost burst out laughing.

He forced a smile and continued to ask:

"Then what are you all doing here?"

"As before, keep King's Cross and platforms nine and three-quarters safe. To be honest, I don't know, maybe our new director is holding it up. It's not safe here. Anyway, we're soldiers, and we obey orders. That's it. I did hear some gossip, though. They said..."

"Enough! Stop talking!"

The chubby Auror interrupted with an ugly expression, "Harry Potter, hurry up to platform nine and three-quarters! You must have wasted our time too much! If this continues, we will really be screwed by you. Go to the striker unit!"

As he spoke, the short and fat Auror pushed Harry directly into the wall, and when Harry reacted, he was already in the more lively platform nine and three-quarters.

This made him frown fiercely.

He instinctively felt that something big might have happened.

After all, it is Link, Percy and others who are in charge of the Ministry of Magic now.

The Fudge guys from the old Ministry of Magic might also do some weird and unreasonable actions.

But not Link and Percy!

There must be a reason why they suddenly sent so many people to Kings Cross!

With such doubts in mind, Harry squeezed onto the train, found a box at random and sat down, then stared at the noisy crowd in front of him, rubbed his chin and fell into contemplation.

"Well-"

With a long whistle, the train began to accelerate gradually.

The carriage swayed constantly, but still couldn't interrupt Harry's thoughts.

He felt the need to figure out why.

It's a pity that his state didn't last long after all.

Because soon two guys dressed in puppet costumes and dressed as Himalayan snowmen were already in front of him, and handed him a basket of candies with exaggerated clown smiles painted on them, and said sullenly:

"Hey bro, wanna try it? Weasley's Witchcraft's latest masterpiece, Laughing Candy, will keep you giggle all day long!"

Harry, who was thinking about it, didn't want to pay attention to these two guys who were obviously salesmen, and instinctively waved his hands, signaling them to leave.

But the 'snowman' didn't push back, just took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into his hand:

"Come on, give it a try! Weasley's Witchcraft and Wizardry is now on its grand opening, and Hogwarts students can get a 20% discount! Not only that, but as a Hogwarts-supported enterprise, we are in Hogwarts City. There are also workshops in the castle. If you want to order, you only need to go to the Weasley workshop on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle! We carry out factory direct sales activities there, and you can get a 20% discount on the basis of the original 20% discount. It's crazy to round up!"

Being interrupted by the "snowman" like this, Harry's interrupted thoughts could no longer be connected.

He threw the candy back into the 'snowman' basket with some disgust, and echoed:

"Compared with the discount you gave me, I actually have a better discount plan here. Do you know what it is?"

The two 'snowmen' looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

And Harry sneered and said:

"That is, don't buy and save 100%!"

"puff-"

The other 'snowman' laughed outright.

Hearing this voice, Harry was immediately stunned.

Because of this laughter, it made him feel extraordinarily familiar.

This looks like... Hermione?

He turned back suddenly and looked at a 'snowman' beside him.

Recalling what the other party had just said, he suddenly realized that Weasley's Witchcraft and Tricks Workshop was the shop opened by George and Fred?

This means that...

"Ron?"

Harry said tentatively.

Hearing that, the two 'snowmen' took off their hoods, and they were Hermione and Ron.

"Harry, what you just said must not be spread out, otherwise, no one will buy our goods!"

Ron complained, but he had a big smile on his face.

Harry laughed when he heard the words, hugged Ron and Hermione and said:

"My God, why are you dressed like this? Are you doing publicity for George and Fred?"

"Of course, we are brothers!"

Ron patted his chest and said, but Hermione, who was beside him, sarcastically said:

"I've never heard of a fee for helping out."

She said to Harry again, "Actually, Ron just became a salesman at Weasley's Witchcraft and Wizardry, helping George and Fred buy things and taking a cut."

Ron's face flushed a little, staring at Hermione and saying:

"You still have the face to talk about me? Aren't you doing the same thing?"

"Am I different from you?" Hermione said with her arms crossed and her head raised. "I'm helping George and Fred for free as a friend!"

"Ha! Do you think you are noble? With the characters of George and Fred, they will only treat you as a free tool!"

"A tool man is a tool man, so what? As friends, I'm happy to help George and Fred, and that's enough."

Hermione shook her head and said, after all, she and Ron looked at Harry in unison.

Talk about helping and cheering.

The two of them together were no match for Harry.

I remember the day Weasley's Witchcraft opened, Harry bought almost everything in the store.

This moved George and Fred so much that they announced on the spot that Harry was their best friend in life, no one.

Such a local tyrant's behavior is simply inhuman!

However, this is also normal.

After all, Harry had inherited a large inheritance.

In addition, Sirius Black also gave Harry the right to inherit the property of the Black family.

Although the estate of the Black family had been divided up by the members of the Wizengamore Council before, none of it was left to Sirius.

But the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the remaining savings of the Black family is still an astronomical sum in the eyes of ordinary people.

So it can be said that the current Harry is a standard platinum rich second generation!

Richer than Malfoy!

Only one grade worse than Link!

Harry looked a little hairy by them, and said a little embarrassedly:

"Okay okay, don't look at me like that, can't I buy it? I've bought all these candies, so don't be too busy running around to sell things, just sit down and rest for a while."

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

Truly a rich man!

Hermione and Ron couldn't help thinking.

But he waved his hand and said:

"No Harry, although I, Ron, like to be petty and cheap, I'm far from the point where I want to kill acquaintances to make money."

"Ron's integrity is still there. As for me, I was originally helping for free, and it doesn't matter if I sell things or not."

While the two were talking, they took off their doll suits and sat beside Harry.

"Have you heard?"

As soon as he sat down, Ron said enthusiastically, "Furong's sister Gabriel has transferred over!"

"Hibiscus?"

Harry exclaimed in surprise.

He was very impressed with the Beauxbatons warrior. No, every man will not be underestimated after seeing the real person with his own eyes. She is definitely a girl with full charm.

On seeing this, Hermione pouted.

Her perception of Fleur was the opposite of Harry Ron.

I can't say I hate it, but I can't say I like it either.

"That's right, not only Gabriel, but also Furong and his family have come to the country. At present, Furong's father is working as a translator in Gringotts, and Furong himself has entered the International Magic Trade Standards Association as a clerk. My father I saw her when I was working in the past."

Ron danced and said, "My father said that Fleur immigrated to the country through Link and entered the Ministry of Magic. She is now learning the language, and when her language skills become more proficient, she will be officially enrolled in the International Magic Trade Standards Association. Joined. That's a great place to go, and the pay is great!"

Harry nodded, then shook his head again and said:

"But I still don't understand, why did they come to the country? And the whole family came?"

As soon as these words came out, both Hermione and Ron looked at Harry with a strange look.

After a while, Hermione said:

"Don't you know? Beauxbatons was attacked by a terrorist not long ago. Not only did most of the buildings in the school collapse, but even a lot of students died. Now it's a mess over there."

Ron went on to say:

"Who would want to study in such an unsafe school? I guess they must be scared to come to Hogwarts, after all, there is no better school of magic in this world than Hogwarts! Not only do we have Dumbledore, we also have Link!"

Hermione nodded and agreed with Ron very rarely.

As long as Link and Dumbledore are there, they are not afraid of any difficulties!

And Harry was silent.

The matter of the Furong family is like the last piece of the puzzle.

Completed the thoughts in his mind.

So, it was because of the terrorist attack on Beauxbatons.

Did this make the Ministry of Magic increase the security force at King's Cross Station?

This is quite reasonable.

Just, does this really work?

For some reason, Harry had an ominous feeling in his heart.

"pat-"

While Harry was thinking, the door of the carriage was opened again.

A panting third-year girl walked in.

"I'm here to give these to Harry Potter... Potter."

As she stammered, she handed a roll of parchment tied with a purple ribbon.

His face flushed with shame when his eyes made contact with Harry.

Then he stumbled out of the carriage.

"what?"

Ron asked curiously, and he and Hermione all leaned over.

"It should be an invitation."

Harry pulled away the purple ribbon as he spoke.

The parchment unfolded, accompanied by a burst of lavender chess pieces, and saw clearly written on it:

Mr. Harry Potter:

I would be very happy if you could have lunch with me in Car C.

you are faithful

Professor H.E.F. Slughorn

"Who is Professor Slughorn?"

Harry looked at the invitation card in confusion.

Hermione and Ron shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know either.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang.

"This is a new professor," said Neville, leaning against the door frame of the carriage. "My grandmother mentioned him as the potions professor who taught my parents before. This time he should have been hired back by Dumbledore. Continue to teach potions."

"What? Potions professor? Isn't our potions professor Snape? Could it be that Dumbledore finally discovered that guy's wolf ambitions and fired him?"

Ron said happily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.

Because he found that Neville, who appeared in front of him at this moment, had a very big change compared to before.

He lost a whole lot of weight.

It's not that kind of weak weight loss, it's more like a shapely body after a workout.

Not only that, but Neville now exudes a very different temperament than usual.

He looks confident and sunny, and the whole person looks very energetic.

Even mentioning his grandmother as he did together would no longer give a sense of submissiveness.

This sudden change made Harry and the others speechless for a while without knowing it.

When Neville heard the words, he shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Unfortunately, your wish came to nothing. It's true that Professor Snape is no longer a potions professor. But after discussions with Link, Dumbledore gave him a new job - professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts."

"How is that possible? Snape has been unsuccessful in applying to be a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts for several years in a row. Everyone at Hogwarts knows he must have some hidden conspiracy! Dumbledore he... oh no! Definitely It's Link! He has a great relationship with Snape, it must be Snape who begged Link! Damn it, that's too bad!"

Harry shook his head complaining.

With his bad relationship with Snape, seeing Snape get what he wanted was even more uncomfortable than when Harry's Nimbus 2000 was crashed!

"Anyway, let's hurry up and go first. Professor Slughorn is quite a respectable man, and we can't keep him waiting."

Speaking, Neville said goodbye to Ron and Hermione first, and then pulled Harry out of the carriage.

The two walked straight to the back of the car, and Harry was still complaining all the way, until he was about to approach the C compartment mentioned in the invitation letter, and Harry calmed down and looked at Nathan with a strange expression. Wei said:

"But then again, Neville, you've changed so much! What the **** happened in the past two months? Why do you look... like a different person?"

Hearing Neville's footsteps, he turned around and smiled:

"It's all Link's credit for giving me a chance for revenge! After I personally ended Bellatrix's life that day, I went to see my parents, and I hugged them, I kept crying and shouting. I told them, I have finally avenged you. The demon that has been shrouded in our hearts for more than ten years has been killed by me! Completely killed!

And since then, I've felt reborn! "

Neville stretched out his hand, raised it to his chest, and clenched it so hard that it seemed like he was crushing something, "I feel like I'm full of strength, Harry, you can understand that Do you feel it? The whole person has a new look! I decided to change myself, and only by becoming better can I repay Hogwarts and Link!"

"Re...return?"

Harry stammered, "I don't think it was necessary for you to do this, Link did that at the time, probably...probably didn't want you to repay him. It's just..."

Neville interrupted with a wave of his hand:

"No, Harry, it's definitely not like that! Link may have never thought about asking me for something in return, but as the heir of the Longbottom family, as a man, I can't really act like nothing! This is what my grandma taught me! It's also my life creed!"

Neville's words were sonorous and decisive.

The firm momentum that came from the pavement made Harry slightly stunned, and his mouth opened and closed several times before he said:

"Then... well, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I sincerely wish you success."

Hearing that, Neville also had a smile on his face.

He rubbed his palms, which were a little red from too much force, and seemed to want to say something.

But the door of the carriage not far from them was suddenly opened.

John's impatient face poked out of the door.

"Who is yelling at the door? It's so noisy, not... Oh! So it's you, Harry, and Neville." John, who saw the person who was coming, smiled slightly, and stepped out of the passage and said, "Have you received an invitation too?"

"John, are you here to say... Link is in there?"

Neville said in disbelief.

All of Hogwarts were aware of Link's close relationship with John.

The two of them have been inseparable since a long time ago.

Generally, where Link is there, John is also there.

It's not clear whether Link likes to follow John or John likes to follow Link.

John's reaction to Neville didn't mean it, he said with a chuckle:

"Of course, come in quickly, don't stand stupidly at the door!"

Harry smiled and nodded, just about to take a step, but found that Neville had slammed into the carriage at the speed of a 100-meter race.

The speed shocked John.

"Oh! Link! So glad to see you again, it's been a long time since we've seen each other! Thank you! Thank you! Damn, I'm about to cry!"

Hearing Neville's excited shouts inside, John and Harry looked at each other with helplessness on their faces. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
