Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 388

c374 Sirius, what did you do to Snake back then?

The seemingly peaceful holiday life quickly passed. In a blink of an eye, school is about to start.

With one week left before school starts, the announcement and shopping list for the new school year have finally arrived.

There was a small accident in the Ministry of Magic this year, and even the Wizarding Examination Authority was affected.

So the professors at Hogwarts have just now decided on the textbooks they need to purchase.

There is also a gold and red badge in Harry’s letter, the badge that symbolizes the Gryffindor female prefect of Hogwarts.

Everyone in Black’s old house was not surprised by this. After all, except for Harry, they couldn’t think of anyone who was qualified to be the prefect of Gryffindor.

The twin brothers Sirius and Weasley looked extremely excited.

As for Sirius, neither he nor James had ever served as prefects back then, and they often joked that Lupine, the prefect of their generation, was a standard good boy and did not meet the status of the four predators.

The Weasley twins have always said that only the stupidest fools in the world can become prefects and presidents of the student council.

But when Harry became a prefect, Gryffindor’s prefect immediately became the most glorious position in the eyes of the twin brothers Sirius and Weasley.

What? Did we complain about the prefect before?

Slander, this is pure slander! Someone is slandering us!

Sirius was not only happy but also enthusiastically proposed to take the children to Diagon Alley as a way to relax.

Of course, the actual reason is that he hasn’t been out for a long time, and he just took advantage of the opportunity given by his goddaughter to go out for a walk.

Mrs. Weasley looked a little unhappy when she heard Sirius’s proposal:

“Sirius, I think under the current circumstances, it is safer for us adults to buy the books back.”

“Diagon Alley is a mixed bag. What if a Death Eater suddenly jumps out and attacks the children?”

“You worry too much, Molly.” Sirius waved his hand, “Two months ago, Harry personally defeated Voldemort head-on.”

“So do you think any Death Eater would be brave enough to jump out from behind a trash can in Diagon Alley and attack us?”

“But she’s still a child, and…”

Mrs. Weasley wanted to say something else, but Lupine appeared silently in the hall.

“I can also go with you, so as to ensure the greatest possible safety.” Lu Ping said softly, his face full of exhaustion.

“Sirius hasn’t gone out to relax for so long. If he keeps it in for a while, he may have problems.”

Mrs. Weasley was obviously shaken, and there was a little hesitation in her voice:

“Actually, it’s not impossible, but… there are only two of you…”

“What? Is anyone going out?” A clear voice came from the hall, and a young red-haired witch jumped into the living room.

“I just heard, it sounds like Lyme, cough cough cough, someone is going out… Oh, sorry!”

The red-haired witch coughed hard twice, but accidentally slipped and hit the wall hard.

A landscape painting that had just been hung on the wall was shaken by the shock.

“Sorry, sorry, I’m really sorry.” Tonks hurriedly straightened the painting, her face full of apology.

“Well, as you all know, I almost failed the stealth subject. This has always been my weakness.”

As she spoke, she was still walking forward without paying attention to her steps.

So she stepped on a trash can again, and fell directly to the ground, and she suddenly jumped up and down again.

Harry couldn’t help but shook his head. Ever since she met Sirius’s niece, Miss Nymphadora Tonks, in the Order of the Phoenix, she had been deeply impressed by Tonks.

On the one hand, it is because Tonks is a rare “disguise magus”, a natural master of human body transformation.

When it comes to human transfiguration, Tonks is omnipotent.

She can even transform most of her body into animal form, thus becoming half animagus.

But if you ask Harley what characteristic of Tonks impressed her the most, it would definitely be Tonks’ recklessness.

In this short month, Harry has seen this witch’s recklessness countless times.

Knocking over a chair when entering a door, stepping on the ground when walking down the stairs, and accidentally bumping into objects while walking are just Tonks’ basic operations.

The most cruel time was when she “successfully” found a rotten wooden board in Blake’s old house and directly opened a hole in the floor!

It can only be said that it is probably because of her heaven-defying magical talent that God can’t stand it anymore and needs to restrict and balance this witch from other directions.

In addition, Harley also vaguely discovered a little secret – Miss Tonks likes Lupin, who is a whole round older than her.

Harry couldn’t possibly have any objections. After all, Lupine had been single for so long and it was time for him to have a partner.

Sirius was so careless that he naturally didn’t notice what happened to his friend.

The other members of the Order of the Phoenix are not as delicate and sensitive to emotions as Harley, so almost no one notices them.

However, as a person involved, Lu Ping noticed this.

He has been wandering as a werewolf for so long and has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world. Naturally, he is very sensitive to the kindness and malice of others.

Tonks kept pestering her to have a magical discussion, or looking for reasons to ask her for knowledge.

During this process, Lupine noticed something wrong with her eyes, words and deeds.

But even if it is discovered, what will happen? Lupine couldn’t accept it and was unwilling to accept the love from Tonks.

Although he can now freely control his werewolf transformation, he will no longer be troubled by the full moon.

But Lupine always believed that he was just a werewolf and was not qualified to have a normal relationship with an ordinary wizard.

Therefore, he has been trying hard to avoid Tonks’ entanglement recently, trying to stay away from her as quietly as possible.

He just found an excuse to get rid of Tonks and wanted to sneak out of the Black Mansion.

But now, he was finally caught.

…………

Twenty minutes later, Sirius, as the apparent leader, led the group to the safe house using fixed door keys, then turned to the Leaky Cauldron on the way, and finally arrived at Diagon Alley.

When Harley appeared in Diagon Alley, there was another commotion.

Many wizards gathered around and wanted to get an autograph.

Although Fudge has been sparing no effort to order his men to smear Harley, they can’t provide any evidence for their smear campaign, so they can only find ways to fabricate it.

Rita, on the other hand, published an article in the Daily Prophet to praise her master.

The youngest recipient of the First Class Order of Merlin, the youngest winner of the Magic School Potions Championship, the youngest winner of the Six-wizard Tournament, the youngest winner of the International Wizarding Duel Competition…

Although many of these names are clichés and re-repeated, but the people in the wizarding world who can’t stand it just accept this trick.

If you don’t follow a young man like this who has real talent and good looks, why don’t you follow the old and fat Fudge? Isn’t this funny?

Recently, the direction of public opinion in the Ministry of Magic seems to have changed, leaving Fudge with no time to take care of all this.

The most obvious manifestation is that the number of articles that mindlessly criticize Harry and Dumbledore in various newspapers and magazines has significantly decreased.

This has made the overall public opinion in the wizarding world become clearer, although many people disagree with and do not want to believe that Voldemort has returned.

But this does not prevent everyone from supporting Harry Potter, the future of the British wizarding world.

Halle spent a lot of effort to get rid of her crazy fans.

“Isn’t it very exciting?” Sirius came over and asked enthusiastically,

“You actually have so many fans already, Harry. You are now a big celebrity in the British wizarding community.”

“I feel like you are gloating, my dear godfather.” Harry rolled his eyes helplessly.

“Of course, I don’t like this feeling of being a star.” Sirius snapped his fingers proudly.

“James and I didn’t like attracting attention the most back then. After all, how can we do pranks when we are so attractive?”

“Oh, really?” Harley suddenly showed a bad smile,

“It seems that after school starts, I should go have a little chat with Professor McGonagall.”

“I believe she will have a lot of good memories about you guys back then. At least Professor McGonagall can help me verify whether what you said is the truth.”

The expression on Sirius’s face fell instantly. Obviously, he also knew that his words could not withstand scrutiny.

After a moment, Sirius hummed twice:

“As long as you don’t ask Snotlout, I’m fine with that.”

“He’s obviously Professor Snape.” Harry helplessly corrected her godfather.

“I’m becoming more and more curious now, what happened to you in the first place? Why is there such a big conflict?”

As he said that, Harry subconsciously touched his ears, but there were no glasses frames there.

If the person in front of her was not her dearest godfather, I am afraid she would have used the control glasses to assist her to understand the truth of that year.

Immediately, the surrounding Hermione and all the little wizards from the Weasley family who were still in school were immediately attracted by this topic, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Although Tonks looked unconcerned, her hair quietly changed color, wanting to find out more about Lupine’s deeds back then.

However, Lupine and Sirius suddenly coughed violently and said in unison:

“Ahem, cough, cough, we didn’t do anything back then! Don’t believe other people’s slander!”

“Especially Snotlout, everything he says is slandering us!”

…

…

(ps. In the fifth part, Tonks once transformed into a pig’s nose. In addition, she can change her whole body, so it can be reasonably speculated that Disguise Mags has the ability to transform into various animals, which barely counts. You are a born Animagus.) (End of this chapter)
