Chapter 269 Old Lovegood Is Such a Strange Man!
After shopping for clothes, Sirius took Harry and Hermione to have a good stroll around Diagon Alley, and turned to a jewelry store from a small path that no one usually guided them.
Needless to say, Sirius, who is rich and powerful, ordered a large number of precious jewelry neatly, vowing to carry out the rich and prodigal to the end.
After returning to Black's old house, Sirius also told the two:
"You won't need those dress robes and custom jewelry in a short time, so I'll send them to you with an owl at that time."
"I've got to go to the vault at Gringotts. If my memory serves me right, there are still some very valuable gems in those piles of gemstones in the Blacks' vault."
"If they are polished into diamond rings and then attached with magic, they will definitely look very good."
"If I really don't have any better magic accessories, I'll go to the fairies to buy them!"
"It's not necessary, Sirius." Harry spoke dissuadingly,
"For my birthday last month, Nico said that I could provide him with jewelry, and he personally helped me add magic and alchemy to it."
"His skills are not much worse than ordinary goblins."
"Huh? That's fine." Sirius was taken aback for a moment, then nodded,
"That's fine too. As long as there's time."
Immediately afterwards, Sirius closed his mouth, stopped talking, and purposely flipped through the newspaper aside.
Clearly, he was waiting for Harry and Hermione to pounce on their curiosity, asking why Hogwarts required them to order robes, and what was the point of buying jewellery.
But Harry and Hermione didn't ask at all.
Fu Rong had already disclosed the information about the Triwizard Tournament to both of them, so the custom-made costumes and jewelry must have been used in a ballroom dance in this competition. Is it still necessary to guess?
But this made Sirius very depressed, and he felt that he had lost a lot of fun.
Originally, Sirius planned to follow the tradition of the British wizarding world, not to answer anything when Harry came to ask questions, and admired the insatiable curiosity of the two!
As a result, Harry and Hermione didn't ask anything...Damn it! It's all because they are so mature and stable!
…………
In a flash of time, it came to September 1st, and the sky began to rain heavily from six o'clock in the morning.
Halle didn't get on the train early today.
Of course, this was entirely because the sole heir of the Black family, who did not want to be named, overslept, moved a bit slowly, and insisted on sending Harry off.
The Scrap Witch would never admit that she wanted to stay in bed for a while because of the heavy rain and the comfort of the humanoid pillow in her arms.
In fact, strictly speaking, it wasn't too late for Harry to arrive at the station. She and Hermione arrived at King's Cross station at half past ten.
But compared to the two people's original eight o'clock train...there is still a big gap.
After arriving at Station Nine and Three Quarters, there were not many Hogwarts students and their parents here.
However, they all set their sights on Harley and his party, to be precise, they set their sights on Harley.
After such a big scandal at the World Cup, Fudge once again chose to pull Harry out to promote a positive image of the Ministry of Magic.
The matter of Harley arresting so many rioters by himself was also pulled out for repeated publicity.
Of course, Harry is also happy to see this kind of situation, after all, this kind of opportunity that can benefit from both ends is quite precious.
Although Harry himself has been living in Black's old house and did not go out, Sirius has made several trips to the Ministry of Magic on behalf of Harry.
And Rita also respectfully asked the boss for instructions through the mark, and then dared to continue working and write fancy articles praising Harley.
And this has also led to the current situation-now Halle is completely a household name in the UK, and even has a lot of fame in foreign countries.
Many parents stood on tiptoe and looked around hard, wanting to see the legendary Harry Potter live.
There were bursts of whispering around, and there were even many students or parents who wanted to run over to shake Harry's hand, or even ask for his autograph.
Fortunately, Harry was agile enough, and it rained a lot that day, which seriously obstructed the sight of others, so that Harry and Hermione were able to successfully board the train.
After opening the last compartment of the train, Hermione threw her luggage on the luggage rack, and then slumped down on the sofa:
"Why are these people so crazy? It feels like groupies among Muggles!"
"Do you dare to say that my influence in the wizarding world is not comparable to that of a Muggle star?" Harry asked back.
Hermione thought for a while, then nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, Harry, I didn't expect you to be so famous now."
The two waved their wands and quickly dispelled the moisture from their bodies and luggage.
After drying off the wet T-shirts that cling to their skin, and changing into wizard robes, the two leaned on their seats, quietly enjoying the rainy sky, while chatting casually.
It was nearly eleven o'clock, and through the heavy rain, Harry saw the Weasleys rushing into the station at an extremely fast speed, and quickly sent many suitcases to the car.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the box.
Ginny opened the door and poked her head in cautiously: "Sister Halle, sister Hermione, here I come!"
During the Quidditch World Cup final, Hermione invited the little girl to come to the box at the end of the train when school starts, if she is free.
Hermione stood up thoughtfully, and moved next to Harry, making room for Ginny.
Hedwig, who had entered the station with Harry because of the heavy rain, yawned and changed her posture of standing in a cage.
She thinks that as an audience, it is very interesting to observe the facial expressions and body details of the following "actors" to read their psychology.
"Sister Halle, can I call Luna Lovegood to this carriage?"
After the little girl put away her luggage, she didn't even have time to dry her clothes, so she asked in a low voice,
"She doesn't have many friends in Ravenclaw. When I passed by a certain box just now, I saw that she was sitting alone."
"I have a good relationship with her. Can you invite her over?"
Harry suddenly recalled the little girl in his second grade who gave him an ethereal inspiration, but that girl seemed to have a very unpleasant quarrel with Hermione, and the two were almost naturally at odds with each other.
So Harry turned to look at Hermione, and her eyes just happened to meet Hermione's arms.
"Of course I don't mind." Harry looked away and nodded slightly, "You call her over."
"Thank you, sister." The little girl said sweetly, jumped up lively from the chair, and rushed out of the box door.
After a while, she pulled the little girl with pale blond hair and appeared at the door of the box.
Harry assisted Ginny to put Luna's luggage on the luggage rack, and helped the two dry their wet robes.
During this process, Harry glanced at the magazine that Luna had been reluctant to put down, and when he saw the content on it, he almost couldn't hold back his smile.
Harry had now figured out that the editor of the journal, The Quibbler, was Luna's old father, Xenophilius Lovegood.
According to Lavender and Parvati, this journal is viewed by girls as entertainment and fantasy reading, and its positioning is similar to "Complete Jokes" in Muggle magazines.
Harley has also watched a few episodes, and I have to say that the old Mr. Lovegood has a really big brain.
For example, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, has an extra fire elf army for no reason, Sirius Black's actual identity is the lead singer of the naughty goblin band, and other wonderful contents.
In this World Cup, the old Lovegood made a new trick——
He declared in the magazine that he had received top-secret information.
The reason why the Bulgarian national team failed this time is because their mascot is Veela!
I don't know if Old Lovegood saw the article Rita published in the newspaper, especially the end of the article, so he made this association.
Harley really wants to say... the Veeva ladies are not guilty of this!
Harry complained silently while returning to his seat.
The train started quickly and passed platform nine and three-quarters.
Harry put the magic book upside down on his lap, resting his chin with one hand, admiring the rainy green hills outside the window.
Hermione flipped through the spellbook, and Luna continued to bury her head behind the Quibbler.
Ginny looked left and right, and finally chose to read today's "Daily Prophet".
In the silence, there was a sudden knock on the door of the box.
After getting a response, the striking heads of the Weasley twins squeezed in, followed by Quidditch commentator Lee.
"Fred, George, what are you doing here?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Of course we are looking for our major shareholder to discuss something important!" Fred rubbed his sister's head and said with a smile,
"Why do you think we were able to hide so much material under your bed during the summer holidays? It's not because the kind Miss Halle provided us with a large sum of money!"
Harry immediately turned his gaze back from the window, and glanced at Fred and George in shock.
When the Quidditch World Cup was held, the Weasley twins revealed that they did not perform well in the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination.
Therefore, Mrs. Weasley seriously suspected that the two had an unknown password, and launched searches of the home many times.
The two also showed off to Harry at the time that Mrs. Weasley even searched under Ron's bed, but they still couldn't find the materials they used to make magic props.
Harry thought that the two of them really used some superb magic or ingenious magic items to hide.
In the end... they actually gave these things to their sisters! Really have them!
"Ahem, ahem, Your Majesty the Great Lion Queen!" George looked at his major shareholder, still looking unruly,
"Your loyal servant wants to consult you about something."
"Then, Sir Weasley and Sir Weasley." Harry had nothing to do, so he accompanied the two of them to act.
She leaned lazily by the window, with her head resting on her shoulders and one hand raised slightly.
Harry didn't look at the two of them either, but admired his own wrist, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, we have produced a batch of interesting props in July and August."
Fred followed the rules of role-playing perfectly,
"Now we are going to sell these prank items, and Li will also help us. As for the returned funds, we are going to continue to use them in the research and development of new magic items."
"Understood." Harry still nodded lazily,
"This king has said that the money is to invest in the dreams of the two lovers, and the two lovers can decide on their own."
"Of order, thank you, Your Majesty!" Fred and George knelt on the ground with one knee exaggeratedly, then immediately got up and walked out the door.
Before leaving, they took away Li, who was full of confusion.
Looking at Li's expression, it was obvious that he was a little confused.
I was inexplicably dragged over by the pair of twin brothers, and then inexplicably dragged back, what exactly is he trying to do?
play?
With the appearance of Fred and George, the quiet atmosphere in the box was broken.
Ginny curiously asked Halle about the careers of the two brothers, and was even more surprised when she heard that Halle had funded such a huge amount of Galleon for the two of them.
The topic in the carriage also began to change, Ginny and Hermione chatted about recent events at the Ministry of Magic that Mr. Weasley had revealed to his family.
"Fudge is so busy! If he hadn't tried his best to promote Sister Halle in the "Daily Prophet", he would have been inundated with shouting letters!"
Ginny began to imitate the tone of her father's speech at that time,
"Oh, I wish Connelly would use his head before doing things so there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
After the imitation, the little girl leaned back and forth with a smile, clutching her belly hard.
"It's not that he has no brains, but to corrupt the Ministry of Magic!" Luna interrupted suddenly, and began to introduce Fudge's "rotten teeth" conspiracy in detail.
While shopping for snacks at noon, Harry saw the Weasley twins again.
The two of them followed behind the cart selling snacks. As soon as someone in a certain box finished buying snacks, they squeezed past them and introduced their own products.
It has to be said that this method of the two is very effective, and the little wizards of Hogwarts can't bear the loneliness.
In addition, everyone in Hogwarts knows that the Weasley twin brothers are famous for being good at pranks, so the probability of success in selling is very high.
I have to say, the Weasley twins are geniuses!

(ps. I suddenly thought of a question. Judging from the plot in the fourth Goblet of Fire, wizards don’t understand Muggle clothing. They don’t know how to wear T-shirts and shorts in summer. Some people even made cotton jackets .)
(So what do they normally wear under their robes? Don't tell me just wear underwear. Especially in winter, isn't it cold for little wizards who don't know magic?)
Written by a book friend, I recommend it.
This is a world where the monster race is rampant and the human race is declining.
Everything in the world can practice, but it is difficult for humans.
Until the birth of a person born with great wisdom in the human race, who establishes the way of controlling the spirit and supports the way of humanity will fall, and his name is the other side.
Afterwards, the way of controlling spirits flourished, and the human race controlled the heaven and the earth, dragons and phoenixes, plants and trees, swords and swords, and all kinds of people in the world could be spirits.
However, the demon dragon rebelled, wanted to demonize the world, and cut off the way to control the spirit. Tianzun slayed the demon dragon in a dream, and erected a sky to prevent the spread of demonic thoughts.
Thousands of years after the fall of Tianzun, the world's evil thoughts arose...
What will be the future of the human race? It all starts with a young man who discovers that he can practice in his dreams...
