Chapter 1352 The Unfamiliar Tonks

There was a long humming sound from the head of the train, and more and more fog enveloped the entire platform. Ranwen Xiao? Say????`

Then, the bright red and dazzling steam locomotive moved slowly, and the speed was getting faster and faster. It turned a curve and disappeared.

There were only the three of them left on the platform, and the cold evening wind hit his face. Ivan tightened his clothes and began to miss the opening dinner in the auditorium.

He only had one and a half sandwiches for lunch, and Hermione gave him the half.

What dislikes being too dry, obviously Hermione was worried that he didn't have enough to eat, so she gave him her share...

They are going to school now, not taking risks or fleeing, why should they be so pitiful.

To be honest, Aiwen was really not full, especially the mouthful of dragon blood he drank at the end, which made him feel uncomfortable all afternoon, but when he thought of a cat ghost hiding in his body, he felt even worse. Not feeling well.

Funny, Harry was worried about Malfoy and Voldemort, and now he was worried about a cat...

Thinking of this, Ivan felt even more empty in his stomach.

"They should arrive at the school, we better not delay," he said, "Why wait here? Just walk back, and you won't encounter anything, there won't be a large number of Death Eaters guarding the school Between Hogsmeade."

"Well, we can walk to school, and keep your Invisibility Cloak, Harry," said Tonks. "Stay alert!"

"Come on, you do look a little like Mad-Eye right now."

"He was always my teacher on the way of Auror, and I learned a lot from him."

Including paranoia, which Tonks had never done before.

They left Hogsmeade and walked towards the path leading to the school.

"So you're currently stationed in Hogsmeade?"

"Yes, it's a long-term mission, and Scrimgeour fears they'll attack Hogwarts."

Aiwen looked at Tonks in surprise, as expected of a veteran Auror, Scrimgeour is really sharp.

Much stronger than Fudge, combined with the current intelligence, he was able to analyze what Voldemort was going to do and make arrangements.

Unfortunately, this is just a bait thrown by Voldemort.

"You're the only one guarding here, or?" Harry asked.

"No, Prout, Savage, and Dawlish are here too," said Tonks. "There's another group that rotates with us."

"Dawlish, the wizard who dared to attack Dumbledore in the last semester?"

"Sounds like him, he's a good Auror, but not on our side," Tonks said, "I mean, he's only loyal to the Ministry of Magic, and he takes orders from the Minister of Magic." , there's really nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"That's right!"

Only serving those in power, and not easily standing in any camp, the vast majority of such people in the Ministry of Magic.

They may not support Voldemort, but if Voldemort is in power, they will not oppose it.

"But I think wizards should have their own ideas, know what they are doing, and why they fight." Tonks continued, "I became an Auror because of this, and I joined the Order of the Phoenix because of this." , someone must stand up and stop the Dark Lord, instead of everyone shrinking back..."

This topic is a bit heavy, is this still Tonks?

They walked with difficulty on the dark and desolate path following the ruts just pressed by the carriage.

Harry looked sideways at Tonks from under the cloak, marveling at the change in her when we met last summer. She was so inquisitive and reckless, but she loved to laugh and tell jokes. , so flattering.

Now she seemed to be several years older all of a sudden, and she looked much more serious and resolute.

Why keep vigilant, what wizards have to have their own ideas, what should stand up and do something...

Tsk tsk, this awareness and idea are too dazzling.

If he didn't know that from Ivan, Harry would have thought that Tonks in front of him was faked by someone else with compound soup.

Harry looked at Ivan, he thought he should say something to Tonks.

But Ivan didn't respond, and Harry didn't know how to bring up that topic.

Should he support her being with Lupine, or let her give up quickly? It's not good anyway.

Harry really doesn't know what to say, and Ivan is probably the same. Although he is still trying to find topics, enliven the atmosphere, and maintain this awkward chat, he feels more and more that there is no way to talk to Tang Ke, who has such a high level of thought and awareness. Si communicated.

This girl, if she goes to die with Voldemort now, Ivan will not be surprised.

Sure enough, falling in love can completely change a person.

In this way, the communication between them became less and less, and the three of them walked silently in the cold night.

Tonks' cloak rustled as it dragged on the ground behind him.

Half an hour later, when they finally saw the tall stone pillars on both sides of the school gate, decorated with winged boar stone pillars on the top, Ivan and Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They were both cold and hungry, and they were eager to get away from this strange, sullen Tonks.

There was, however, a more unpleasant figure at the gate, who stood with a wobbly lantern.

The flickering orange light illuminated Snape's aquiline nose and long black, greasy hair.

He had arrived here long ago and had been waiting for them instead of coming out.

It seemed impossible for Snape to come out to meet Ivan and Harry.

Seeing Snape, Harry subconsciously took a step back, he would rather a giant greet them than Snape.

"Very well, very well!" said Snape, drawing his wand, and tapping the lock once, the chain retracted like a snake, and the door creaked open, looking sneeringly at the two of them. One, "The famous Mason and Porter, you two finally showed up. It wouldn't be a perfect start to school if you don't make something happen every year and make an unforgettable appearance, right? Porter, tsk tsk, you obviously Thought wearing school gowns would spoil your looks..."

"I can't change clothes, my suitcase..."

Before Harry could finish his sentence, Snape interrupted him.

"There's no need to wait any longer, Nymphadora, they're both very, um, safe in my hands."

"But I was supposed to tell Hagrid the news," said Tonks, frowning.

"Hagrid, like the two of them, didn't make it to the start-of-term banquet on time, so I collected it. By the way." Snape took a step back, letting Ivan and Harry pass, "My respect to you The new Patronus is interested."

He slammed the door shut in Tonks's face, and tapped the chain with his wand.

With the sound of metal clashing, the chain jumped back to its original place like a snake.

As soon as he walked into the school, Aiwen felt a powerful magic oppressing him, which was unprecedented before.

The security situation in the school has doubled during this summer vacation.

"If you ask me for an opinion, I think the original one is better," Snape continued to Tonks, with no doubt that there was malice in his voice, "the new one looks obviously weak."

Snape swung the lantern, and a flash of anger could be seen on Tonks' face, but then she was enveloped in darkness again.
