Chapter 1228 Harry's Summer Vacation
It was the last hour before Dumbledore's arrival that Harry finally went downstairs to break the news to his aunt and uncle.
As he expected, after a brief shock, they immediately began to complain, Aunt Pitty began to look out the window in a panic, Uncle Vernon yelled that no one would come to visit at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and wizards all It's something like owls don't need to sleep.
Harry didn't explain. He walked into his room, feeling relieved that he was finally getting rid of the Dursleys this year anyway.
Moreover, he did not expect that Professor Dumbledore would come to pick him up.
Knowing that Sirius was not in the country, he originally thought it would be Lupine, Tonks or Hagrid...
Unexpectedly, it was Dumbledore who came in person.
Harry held such a parchment in his hand, written to him by Professor Dumbledore.
The letter was delivered four days ago, and Harry has been taking it out to look at it from time to time since he received it. The parchment was rolled tightly when it arrived, but it is now flat, with a thin, askew letter on the top. Some words were written in handwriting on one side.
Dear Harry:
If it is convenient for you, I will pick you up at 4 Privet Drive at eleven o'clock this Friday night.
I have made an appointment with Alvin and Hermione, they will leave at the same time with us, and you will spend the rest of the summer vacation with your friends. In addition, I have something to do, and I would be very happy if I could get your assistance. Details will be discussed when we meet.
Please take back the owl and see you on Friday.
Your most loyal Albus Dumbledore.
Harry had read this letter over and over again, and he had already memorized the contents by heart.
He kept guessing what Dumbledore needed their assistance for, and he was very happy that he was about to meet Ivan and Hermione, especially Ivan, Harry hadn't seen him for a long time. Before the end of last semester, Ivan set off for Egypt again.
This made Harry envious, and he talked about it with his friends at school, guessing what Ivan would see.
His other two friends, Ron and Hermione, have both been to Egypt, but it is a very rare experience to be able to participate in the International Alchemy Conference. It is said that this alchemy event will only be held every ten years, let alone full of mystery Breath of ancient relics!
Harry expected that Ivan's trip would be unusual, and the later developments verified his guess, even far beyond expectations.
Take a look at the newspapers in the recent period. Almost all of them are full of Aiwen's news. It's hard not to know.
From his battle with powerful demons in the sun ruins, to Aiwen's various past experiences, all were revealed.
They appreciate that Ivan is a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore and Voldemort. Harry is not sure about this. He knows that Ivan is strong, but he doesn't know how strong he is, but regarding other reports in the newspaper, haha Benefits don't take it seriously.
He thought they were exaggerating, like the newspapers were full of news about him before the summer vacation started.
They described him as a savior, analyzed it over and over again, and expected him to defeat Voldemort...
It was ridiculous, and less than a year ago, he was still a liar Potter, a mentally disturbed wizard.
The Daily Prophet is worthless, and Harry would never have subscribed to it if Sirius hadn't asked for it, and many of his classmates have now stopped subscribing to it in favor of the Hogwarts Newspaper of Witchcraft and Wizardry , a newspaper created by Ivan.
But Sirius said that the "Daily Prophet" has a strong overseas presence and will get the latest news from many other countries.
He was right. Since the summer vacation began, Harry quickly discovered that the UK was relatively peaceful, and there were no large-scale panic and attacks due to Voldemort's return. Maybe they had gradually accepted the news, but overseas gradually Mess up.
Various, dark organizations that Harry had never heard of before declared their allegiance to Voldemort.
Added to this is the endless stream of attacks and murders.
If he saw it for the first time, he might still feel angry and excited, but Harry soon discovered that he knew that these would not help change the current bad situation at all, let alone stop Voldemort, he could not even leave the house.
The number of attacks and deaths quickly bored him.
The newspaper was of no use except to make him more nervous and irritable.
The new Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, will announce new measures every week, but this is the same as the "Daily Prophet" that makes people feel heavy. It is useless at all. Ministry officials are running around, contacting Aurors from other countries couldn't even find a trace of Voldemort and his followers.
They did arrest a lot of people, but they were all insignificant and small characters.
For a guy like Mundungus, the most dangerous thing he did in his life was to buy a batch of crucibles of unknown origin.
The Ministry of Magic issued a safety manual to every wizard. This is a purple booklet with eye-catching words printed on it: Authorized by the Ministry of Magic, protect your home and family from black magic. Following the threat of a group calling itself the Death Eaters, following simple safety guidelines will help protect yourself, your family, and your home from an attack.
, Do not leave home alone.
, Need to be extra careful at night. Go out and get back before dark as much as possible.
, Check the safety precautions around the house, and make sure that the whole family knows some emergency measures, such as using the Iron Armor Charm, Disillusionment Charm, etc., and the underage children in the family need to learn Apparition and be able to use the magic wand to emit emergency fireworks.
, Agree on safe codes with friends and family to spot Death Eaters using Polyjuice Potion to impersonate others (see page 2).
. If you notice a family member, colleague, friend or neighbor behaving unusually, please contact the Magical Law Enforcement Squad immediately. They may have been under the Imperius Curse (see page 4).
, If the Dark Mark appears on any residence or building, do not enter and contact the Auror office immediately.
, Unconfirmed news that Death Eaters may now use Inferi (see page 10), if you see or encounter Inferi, please report to the Ministry of Magic immediately.
8. Given the current dementors...
After receiving it, Harry threw the booklet aside. He thought about it, and when he was packing, he still packed it in the box. There were a hundred protective measures listed on it, some of which were stupid, such as letting the future Adult children learn the Apparation spell alone. Is this a spell that minor wizards can use alone?
But a few were really helpful, like the one about agreeing on a security code, preventing the Dead Apostles from using Polyjuice Potion to impersonate...
