Chapter 502 Farewell (Modified, Sincere Thanks to the Leader of the Alliance)
For the exchange students who are about to leave Hogwarts, even the air is filled with the joy of anticipation and the melancholy of leaving their relatives and friends in the academy for a while.
After breakfast, Harry hurried to Gryffindor Tower, picked up his schoolbag and textbooks, put on his cloak, and rushed down the stairs in three steps at a time. Harry wanted to find Alan before he left and say goodbye to him.
"Harry," Lupine called to him as he rushed into the hall.
"Professor Lupin." Harry paused.
"The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is not in this direction." Lupine winked at Harry.
"Professor, I want to see Alan off. I won't delay for too long." Originally, Harry wanted to rush back before class, but now that Lupine mentioned it, Harry had to ask for leave.
"I understand how you feel, Harry, but I'm sorry." Lupine was a little embarrassed, but after taking a deep breath, he spoke out under Harry's doubtful eyes, "The Harris family has been very close to Fudge and the others recently. This exchange student activity is said to be the result of their cooperation. Harry, you have never learned Occlumency, and Alan is a Legilimency master, so Dumbledore hopes that you will try not to interact with Alan until Voldemort is confirmed to have returned. You have too many contacts with Lun, at least don't meet him face to face, and please don't reveal too much even if you contact him through letters. You know, after your trial and the quarrel between your godfather Sirius and Dumbledore, some information about the Order of the Phoenix I’m not avoiding you, and if Fudge and the others find out about this, it will be very detrimental to us.”
Looking at Harry who nodded after hesitating, Lupine breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little guilty thinking that Dumbledore actually told them that he suspected that Harry and Voldemort were connected, and that they might be able to find out what the other saw. some information. What Dumbledore was actually afraid of was that this information would be known and used by Harris. Whether they informed Fudge or they took some actions on their own initiative, it might change the prophecy. After Harry was tried in the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore was no longer there. They were forced not to contact Harry as much as they were at the beginning of the summer vacation, but in turn, they were asked to be careful that the information disclosed in front of Harry must be unimportant or even false news. Although Lupine felt uncomfortable lying to Harry in this way, for these reasons and his belief in Dumbledore, he decided to do as Dumbledore arranged.
When Allen arrived at the lakeside according to the location notified by Mr. Harris, a very loud and strange sound floated towards them from the lake. It was a suppressed rumbling and sucking sound, like a huge vacuum cleaner moving along the lake. The riverbed is moving...
There was a commotion under the water in the middle of the lake, huge splashes rose on the surface, and waves crashed against the wet lake shore - then, right in the middle of the lake, a large whirlpool appeared, like a huge plug suddenly rising from the bottom of the lake. Was pulled out...
A mast slowly rises from the center of the whirlpool...the sail rigging gradually rises...
"Harris, I'm sorry that you had to go to Durmstrang." Dumbledore's voice sounded behind Allen.
"Professor Dumbledore," Allen shifted his gaze from the center of the lake and turned around, "do you remember the conversation we had when I was in third grade?"
"Transactions of equal value are necessary. No one can achieve the goal casually without paying any price." Allen's tone and appearance when he said this suddenly popped out of Dumbledore's memory. .
"Harris, leaving Hogwarts and learning new knowledge in a new environment is something worth looking forward to." Dumbledore paused, "But you need to be careful when you arrive in Durmstrang. Friends from the federation told me that Carson Mount, one of the two vice-chancellors of Durmstrang, and some of the school directors who support him are very dissatisfied with the big moves made by Karkaroff and Harris last year. .”
"Thank you, Principal Dumbledore, I will pay attention." Since Dumbledore wants to show his kindness again, even if the other party definitely knows that he will have channels to know about it, Allen does not need to adopt a hostile attitude, at least not in person. Show this meaning.
"Take care of other students." After finishing speaking, Dumbledore walked towards the shore without waiting for Alan's response.
Allen had already learned about this situation from Karkaroff through the sensory imprint. But as far as Karkaroff said, although in addition to the position of vice principal, Monte also served as the professor of dueling, his strength was not It was stronger than ordinary wizards, so Allen didn't pay too much attention to it. Allen also wanted to help his family consolidate their power in Durmstrang.
Slowly and magnificently, the big boat rose out of the water, bumping on the undulating water, and began to sail towards the lake shore. A moment later, they heard a splash as an anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then another snap as a plank was set on the shore of the lake.
Dumbledore greeted the Durmstrang personnel who were disembarking from the ship. Alan, the exchange students and some of the entourage began to assemble under the guidance of a bearded middle-aged man wearing a thick fur cloak.
Allen hugged the family members who came to see him off again, and finally hugged Hermione, whose nose was still a little red, and whispered in her ear, "Take care."
After finishing speaking, Allen felt his shoulders sink, and something grabbed his shoulders. Then he heard Hermione say, "Let Cotton follow you for the time being. Thunderbirds are highly sensitive to danger. At least they can let me." Be at ease."
Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood handed a thick roll of parchment to Luna, "Perhaps you can pass the time on the ship by reading these manuscripts that have not yet been published in The Quibbler."
He looked at Allen who was saying goodbye to his family and friends not far away, and warned, "If Allen Harris has ill intentions towards you, cast a curse on him."
But then, Mr. Lovegood thought about Durmstrang's reputation and became a little worried. "Except for Hogwarts, you have never been so far away from your father. At Durmstrang, you'd better Don’t leave Alan’s sight.”
Luna took the parchment and started flipping through it on the spot. "Dad, you are surrounded by many harassing flies."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lovegood raised his hand and waved it around his head, as if to drive away the harassing flies. Finally, he hugged Luna fiercely for a while before turning around to leave.
Behind the father and daughter, Narcissa Malfoy had a pale face and long blond hair hanging down her back. She held Malfoy's wrist with her slender fingers, and put a bulging leather bag in her other hand. He handed it over to Malfoy. "Your father can't come to see you off. UU Reading www.uukｎshu.netｔ But we filled this bag with gold galleons. Remember to keep it. If you go over there, you can always make friends by being generous." of."
"You are a pure blood, so you should not be discriminated against. You should be more generous with the few followers around Allen who go there in the name of the Ministry of Magic. But don't provoke other people easily." After thinking about Durmstrang's ethos , Narcissa warned worriedly.
When Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood passed by Allen, he rubbed his hands, hesitated for a while and continued to take steps. After two or three steps, he suddenly turned back and ran all the way in front of Allen.
"Director Xenophilius?" Allen has tried to use Legilimency to detect his thoughts just now. However, although he has not mastered Occlumency, he doesn't know whether he is born with chaotic thinking or is wearing some kind of protection. Allen could only get some disorganized thinking information from the items, so he had no choice but to ask.
Ellen was held by Mr. Lovegood's hand: "Ellen, don't let her be wronged."
After saying that, he seemed to realize that what he said might cause misunderstanding, "Oh no, I mean, don't let those Durmstrang people bully her."
Ramona Rocher, the captain of the Umbrella Team who had been following Allen, took a step forward and bowed to them, "Please forgive me for interjecting impolitely. Master Allen has already arranged for us to do so." I will take care of Miss Luna at any time. Mr. Lovegood, my daughter is not much younger than Miss Luna, and we get along very happily, please rest assured."
