Chapter 1038 (1/2)
……
In some ways, ”it hasn't really started yet,” Hermione sighed dejectedly and folded the newspaper again, ”but it's not far away.”
”In fact, the guy should be glad that Voldemort didn't see him, but he's more likely to be talking about it...” Van Lin turned his lips, and Voldemort had no time to pass by the door.
”I don't understand how they are so excited that it is difficult for them to return Voldemort...” Before Hermione's opinion was fully expressed, Ron interrupted her.
”Hi, Harry,” Ron whispered, tilting his head out into the hallway. Harry looked out and Chou Cheung was walking by, along with Marita, who was wearing a balaclava hat. His sight met with Qiu Zhang, her face flushed and she went on. Harry looked back at the board and saw that Ron's knight had eaten one of his pawns.
”How are you and her now?” Ron asked softly.
”Nothing,” said Harry realistically.
”I - er - heard she's out with someone else now,” Hermione said tentatively. Harry was surprised to find that the news had no effect on him. It seems to be a thing of the past to associate with Qiu Zhang, and it has nothing to do with him now. It's just like Qiu left his world, because what he experienced was not suitable for everyone to come and put a foot in it. Between him and Qiu
”You don't mind,” Ron stressed. ”I mean, she's beautiful, but besides that, it's supposed to be fun to be with her.”
”She should be happy with people.” Harry shrugged.
”Who is she with now?” Ron asked Hermione, but Ginny was the answer.
”Michael. Connor. ”
”Michael - but -” Ron turned his chair and glared at her, ”but didn't you go out with him all the time?”
”No more going out.” Ginny said firmly. ”He was very angry when he saw Gryffindor beat Ravenclaw in the Quidditch match, so I broke up with him, and he ran to please Qiu Zhang.” Ginny scratched her nose absentmindedly with her little finger, and went back to singing the opposite to calculate the score. It makes Ron look very happy.
”I always thought he was a little silly.” He rushed his queen towards Harry's rickety castle. ”That's good for you. Next time you can pick a better one.”
He glanced at Harry as he said this, with a strange look in his eyes.
Fanlin and Hermione, too, focused on Harry, but the latter did not respond. Ginny was the first to answer Ron.
”Well, I've chosen Dean. Thomas, do you think he's better? ” Ginny said vaguely.
”What?” Ron yelled and accidentally knocked over the board. Crook mountain was hopping about in what had fallen, and Hedwig and piggy were screaming above their heads.
”Dean...” Ginny paused. ”I think he's not bad.”
”That boy...” Ron's face flushed, as if to take out the dignity of his brother, but Ginny didn't buy it.
The train slowed slowly as it approached King's Cross. Harry felt that he had never been so reluctant to leave it. He even flashed the idea that something might happen that would justify his refusal to get out of the car, and then sit in the car until Hogwarts starts school on September 1, and then go back by train.
But when van Lim patted him on the shoulder, he finally gave up the idea and stood up, ready to carry Hedwig's cage as before and drag the trunk out of the car.
When the ticket inspector told them that it was safe to cross the fence to platform nine and three quarters, Harry found a surprise waiting for him there, and a group of people he didn't expect was greeting him.
There's moody, the ”devil's eye,” wearing a bowler hat to cover his eyes - this is he looks very evil, with a long wooden stick in his hand, and a long, big travelling cloak on his body. Tonks stood behind him, her bubbly pink hair glinting in the sun through the dark glass of the station roof. She wore a pair of patched jeans and a bright purple T-shirt with ”weird sisters” on it. Next to her was lupin, pale and gray, with an old coat and trousers, and a long, worn-out garment.
In front of them stood Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in their best Muggle clothes. Fred and George were both wearing a new jacket of poor texture and pale green.
”Ron, Ginny!” Cried Mrs. Weasley, running quickly over and hugging her two children. ”Oh, and you, dear Harry - are you ok?”
”Good,” Harry lied, and Mrs. Weasley hugged him tightly. Over her shoulder, he saw Ron gaping at the twins' new clothes.
”What is it made of?” He asked, pointing to their clothes. ”The best dragon skin, my little brother,” said Fred, pulling his zipper. ”Our business is booming, so it's time to take good care of ourselves.””Hey, Fred, George!”
”Hey, brother!” Fred warmly gave van Lin a big hug. ”It's a pity that you weren't at Hogwarts when we left. Otherwise, I think our departure will become a sensation. By the way, that thing...”
”Here it is!” Fanlin said, taking out the metal he had been fiddling with on the train. ”Zoom in, but are you sure you want to use this as a guide?”
”It's cool!” George said, picking up the little metal man. ”How do you use it?”
”This activity doesn't consume much, it can be absorbed naturally, but you need to record the voice yourself. However, this method is not difficult for you. I don't have so much time in Hogwarts...”
I think Harry's side is much more warm than van Lin's.
”Hello, Harry,” lupin said, as Mrs. Weasley let Harry go and hugged Hermione.
”Hello,” said Harry, ”I didn't expect that. What are you doing here? What about Sirius? ”
”Oh,” lupin said with a smile, ”Sirius is a little busy. To be exact, the hapless guy was broken by Bellatrix, and it's not convenient to leave now. Kretcher is taking care of him. By the way, he's entertaining guests at the headquarters.”
”Oh, well, I can go...” Harry was just about to say go and see Sirius, and then swallowed it back.
