Chapter 145 The grown-up little monster
Floo powder is an interesting means of transportation, invented by Ignatia Will Smith in the thirteenth century.It is now one of the most common ways of travel for wizards.
The method of use is also very simple: grab a handful of Floo powder, stand in front of the fireplace connected to the Floo network, throw the Floo powder into the fire, say where you want to go, and then step into the exploding green magic flame , it will be sent to the corresponding location.
Most Ministry of Magic officials use Floo powder to go to work, and a spoonful of Sickle costs two silvers. Fortunately, the commuting expenses can be reimbursed, otherwise the impoverished Mr. Weasley might have to take out a loan to even go to work.
During the last week of summer vacation, Harry temporarily stayed at the Weasleys' house, a cozy cottage named The Burrow.
In the original novel, he had a very unhappy holiday, which can be said to be extremely unlucky. As soon as he got home, all the belongings, including spell books, wands, wizard robes, summer homework, etc., were all locked in the stairwell by Vernon and he was not allowed to touch them. The owl was also locked in a cage. Unable to communicate with friends.
This is not the most unfortunate thing. The most outrageous thing is that a house elf named Dobby found Harry for no reason and caused a lot of trouble. In the end, the Dursleys directly put Harry in solitary confinement and planned to Imprison him in his bedroom for the rest of his life.
It can be said that Harry in the original book changed from the glamorous savior to a drowned dog after returning to Muggle society. In the end, it was the Weasley twins, together with their good friend Ron, who drove the Flying Car to rescue him. Harry then came to stay at the Burrow.
It was at the Burrow that Harry met his true love, Ginny Weasley. At the same time, this girl was also the boss of the second part of "Harry Potter", which can be said to be very fateful.
Lynde and the others met the Weasley family in Diagon Alley. Harry had been out of contact for a while. When he was using Floo powder, he made a mouthful and pronounced Diagon Alley as Knockturn Alley. That place is The black market in the magic world is often visited by dangerous people of unknown origin.
But neither Hermione nor Ron worried about his safety.Even if Harry met Kitou Si in Knockturn Alley, nothing would happen.After all, he is now an apprentice in the tower, and it is very convenient for him to run away when he encounters danger. He will slip away as soon as the door is opened, so as not to be caught by a few black wizards.
Sure enough, after a while, the kid himself appeared. Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley were connected. Mrs. Weasley was looking crazy, and Harry strolled through the alley.
Mrs. Weasley took her daughter and ran over, holding the little Harry in her hand and looking up and down, like an antique collector inspecting the fine Chinese porcelain imported from the ocean. The gap and crack, it is estimated that he was so sad that he passed out on the spot.
The children of the Weasley family couldn't help curling their lips secretly when they saw their mother caring so much about other people's children.Ron even muttered: "That's all right now, I knew I was picked up, and Harry is my mother's own youngest son."
The twin brothers joked with a smile: "Oh, little Ronnie is not happy-" "-Don't worry, you must be born by your mother, because ah-" "-A little boy like you is stupid at first sight. Children, our family will not pick them up."
The three brothers started laughing and joking.
Harry was completely unscathed, let alone radiant, without a speck of dust.Experienced wizards can tell at a glance that he has cast the [Clean Up] spell on himself.
According to the Magic Code, underage wizards are not allowed to cast spells outside of school. In order to monitor illegal activities, the Ministry of Magic will place trace marks on underage students. Once the traces detect traces of magic around them, the police will be called, and then the Ministry of Magic's owls will send warning letters.
However, the Tracer Curse is a complete joke to the lawless gangsters in the library tower. The mark of the library tower will directly block the trace silk. After Linde analyzed the trace silk on his body, he reversely confused its operation.
When he cast a spell outside the school, not only would Zongsi not call the police, but she would also help him conceal his location. When the Ministry of Magic checks the files, they will find that Lind stayed at Hogwarts every day during the last school year. In fact, this guy simply skipped school and could count the days he stayed in school on his fingers.
Harry's trace location has also been confused, so it's cool to put a spell on this summer vacation.
"Harry, dear, where have you been?" Mrs. Weasley adjusted the boy's collar.
"I've come to an interesting place," said Harry, who saw Lind and greeted him, "Mr. De Lin, hello."
"You seem to have encountered something interesting?"
"Yes. I was teleported to Borgin Burke's store, where I met the Malfoys and his son, who were selling their family's dark magic items."
Both Mr. Weasley and his wife exclaimed, "Malfoy! This cunning old dog, he is afraid of being caught, and the rumors have been very tight recently. Harry, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"
"I'm hiding, no one sees me." Harry was calm, as if he had just returned from shopping for groceries in the supermarket, instead of being taken away in a dangerous place haunted by dark wizards.His strength is indeed not enough, but his mentality is calm like a child.
"It's okay." The adults comforted him, while the children surrounded Harry and asked questions. They all wanted to know more details and what was going on in Borgin Burke's shop.
The twins said: "There are a lot of dark magic items in that room. Aren't you curious?" The two brothers winked with meaningful expressions.
Harry looked upright, "I'm not interested in dark arts."
Lind could hardly hold back after hearing these words. He could sense the details of the "Wizard's Practical Guide". In just this summer vacation, Harry's black magic has made great progress, and the number of curse entries has increased by nearly 20. . Hopefully the people he's practicing dark magic with aren't the Dursleys.
At this time, there was still half an hour before Lockhart's new book signing party started, and everyone agreed to meet at the entrance of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore at 12:30. Mr. Weasley was very interested in the Muggle world and kept asking Mr. and Mrs. Granger.
The trio gathered around Linde, and he found a coffee shop to sit down and ordered some ice cream to eat.Linde's is yogurt-flavored, sprinkled with chopped nuts and colorful candy needles.He was greedy for ice cream when he was a child, and his family was reluctant to part with the money. They only bought one for him during the holidays. Linde could eat it slowly for a long time by himself, and sometimes his mother would sit across from him and watch him.He was smiling, and his eyes were shining.
It took Linde thirteen years to understand this look. It turned out that his mother was also hungry for the taste of ice cream, and she was already very happy just watching him eat it.
When he grew up, Linde was very generous to children, but he also wanted to make up for his childhood regrets.
Hermione and Ron held glasses filled with ice cream scoops and chatted non-stop, talking about their summer vacation experience. Their families were happy and happy, and there were some small surprises in the ordinary holiday life.Both Harry and Linde listened quietly.
When the two children were quiet, Harry hesitated for a while. Seeing that Linde didn't want to speak, he also took the initiative to chat about his summer vacation, "I talked to my uncle and aunt."
All children are reluctant to communicate with their parents because they know their opinions will not be taken seriously.
Harry's willingness to communicate openly shocked Vernon and Petunia at the time.
After getting into his uncle's car from King's Cross Station, Harry took the initiative to thank them for their continued support. Even as elders, the Dursleys were unqualified, partial and stingy, and often abused Harry. Deceiving a child who doesn't understand anything, saying that his parents died in a car accident and not allowing him to have contact with magic.
But Harry still said thank you to them and apologized for his past ignorance. He said this not as a little slave who swallowed his anger, but as a grown-up young man.
In the original book, until the seventh Deathly Hallows, when the Dark Lord returns and the Dursleys are forced to move away, they fail to reconcile with the grown-up Harry. Except for cousin Dudley's parting kindness to Harry, the Dursleys' dislike of their nephew never changed.
Harry held his chocolate ice cream, watched it melt, and said calmly to his silent companions: "I think they always thought I was an ungrateful person. A monster. Maybe I am a monster, but I choose Forgive them."
"Harry. You did nothing wrong. There is no need to apologize at all." Ron looked sad. Hermione bit her lip and gently held Harry's wrist.
"No. These words are very useful." Harry's tone became lighter. "They don't make me do chores anymore. It's not even like I don't exist at all. I can go where I want, do whatever I want. It’s like treating a stranger.” When he said this, he shivered unknowingly, his sincere sense of loneliness made him barely smile, “I think this is very good.”
No wonder Dragons is said to be the Chinese version of Harry Potter.
