Chapter 909 Disguise and the Hogwarts Express
Everyone left the salute to Moody, and they helped to bring them to the station. When the door was closed heavily behind them, and Mrs. Black's screams were immediately cut off, everyone felt their ears were cleared up, and they felt a lot more relaxed. , glad to finally get out of here.
In the faint sunlight of a September morning, they came down the steps of number 12, and just as they were on the sidewalk, the house was gone!
"Where's Tonks?" Harry asked. "Why didn't I see her?"
In fact, they saw no other guards this morning except Moody and Lupine, who hadn't left last night.
"She's waiting for us over there," said Mrs. Weasley grimly. "We've got to hold on tight."
"Nobody else will show up except her, they'll follow us in the shadows in disguise," said Lupine mildly, also in a Muggle suit, "it was Mad-Eye's idea, too How easy it is to attract attention, we were going to start in three teams, but we didn't have that many guards."
"Disguised?" Harry thought of Polyjuice Potion for a moment.
Not long ago, Alvin surprised him by using Polyjuice Potion to transform into Gabriel.
"Yes, this is a skill that Aurors must master." Lupine said simply, "It is very important not to show your true colors when fighting a dark wizard."
The group walked a few steps forward and saw an old lady greeting them at the corner of the street.
She had gray hair in little curls and a purple hat shaped like a pork pie.
If she hadn't taken the initiative to greet him, it would be almost impossible to recognize this as Tonks.
"Good morning!" she said with a wink. "We've got to hurry up, don't we, Molly?"
"I know, I know!" sighed Mrs. Weasley, taking a bigger step. "Mad-Eye still wants to wait for Sturgis, well, if Arthur can borrow the car from the Ministry That's fine, but recently Fudge won't even lend him an empty ink bottle, how can Muggles stand to travel without magic??"
Ivan didn't know what happened to the portable swamp that Fred and George left under Percy's seat, but since the trial ended, Mr. Weasley's situation has obviously gotten worse, and Fudge is forcing him to take the initiative resigned.
They walked to King's Cross station for twenty minutes without incident.
As soon as they entered the station, they pretended to be nonchalant and wandered by the retaining wall between platforms 9 and 10, and waited until there was no one around, then leaned against the wall one by one, and crossed to the platform without anyone noticing.
I saw the Hogwarts Express stop there, emitting black steam, and the platform was crowded with students and their families who were saying goodbye.
Ivan, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George all became excited. Breathing the familiar smell, they felt as if their hearts were going to fly with joy. They were going back to Hogwarts. It's gone!
This summer vacation this year seems to be extremely long, especially for Ivan, who has not been in school for more than half a year.
When they appeared, the atmosphere on the lively platform changed suddenly, and many people noticed them immediately.
Ivan saw many Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students secretly pointing at him and talking to their parents.
Most of the Slytherins looked directly at them with hostile eyes, avoiding them from afar.
Even Gryffindor was full of disagreements, with some shying away in fear and others heading straight for it.
There were only a small number of wizards who came over, and they all supported Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, such as Neville and his grandmother.
She is very old, she is wearing a green robe, a fox fur scarf, and a tall hat with a stuffed eagle on top, she looks terrible, she is one of the few that Ivan has seen There are many people who can directly call Voldemort's name.
She made it clear that she supported Aiwen and the others, and already knew that the Order of the Phoenix had resumed operations!
The old lady's regret is that no one from the Lombardi family joined the Order of the Phoenix to fight Voldemort this time, and she kept saying that Neville was far worse than Ivan, Harry and his father. I hope she The grandson could be a little braver.
Neville was the same as before, not daring to refute a word Granny said.
Several people stood and talked for a while, until the train made a long roar and began to emit white steam.
"I really hope that Arthur and Alastor will arrive in time." Mrs. Wei Xinlai said anxiously, "Ah, they are here!"
Mr. Weasley and Moody pushed a cart full of boxes through the archway, Moody limping, a porter's hat pulled low over his asymmetrical eyes.
"No trouble?"
"No!" said Mr. Weasley.
"Everything is fine!" Moody whispered to Lupine, Mrs. Weasley, and Tonks. "It looks like we're not being followed."
"That's good!" Several people hurriedly unloaded the salute and put it on the train.
"It's too much, I still have to sue Dumbledore for Sturge." Moody said, seeming very dissatisfied, "This is the second time he hasn't shown up in a week, how can this story become like Mundungus is just as unreliable."
"Now, take care of yourselves," said Lupine, shaking hands with each of them.
"Hogwarts is a little different this year, be careful and remember to watch Harry." He walked up to Ivan and said softly.
"I know!" Ivan raised his eyebrows, hoping that confronting Umbridge would not be too boring.
Finally, Lupine came up to Harry and patted him on the shoulder, "You too, Harry, be careful."
"Yeah, stay out of trouble and be on your guard," said Moody. "Don't forget what I taught you last term, and don't forget, each of you, that you don't write everything when you're in doubt. , just don't write to the letter at all. In fact, I think you'd better not write to the outside world, especially Sirius..."
"It's great to see you all," said Tonks, putting his arms around Hermione and Ginny. "We'll see each other again soon."
The whistle to remind everyone to get on the train sounded again, and the students standing on the platform began to board the train in a hurry.
"Come on, come on!" said Mrs. Weasley distractedly, hugging them all wildly. "Take care, if you forget anything, we'll send for it. Now, get in the car, come on." Hurry up!"
Several people hurried onto the train, and they kept waving to the outside of the open window.
Soon, the figures of Tonks, Lupine, Moody, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley shrank.
"School has finally started, what should we do now?"
"We have something to talk to Lee about!" Fred said, "Evan, are you coming?"
"No, don't forget that Ivan is still the chairman of the Boys Student Union..." Hermione said directly.
"Yeah, yeah, see you later, boy boss!" Fred waved his hand.
After speaking, he and George disappeared into the aisle on the right.
