A day at Hogwarts

In Egypt in July, you can fry eggs directly on the stone at noon.

During this month, Harry and the Weasley family visited the mysterious pyramids and temples, rode camels on the oasis, and Charlie killed a large crocodile that was about to eat a cow by the Nile River.

Originally, the Weasley family planned to play until the end of August before going back, but something unexpected happened, and the Ministry of Magic asked Arthur Weasley if he could go back and work overtime. Now everyone in the Ministry is crazy busy, and it's all Black's fault. .

Arthur agreed to go back early, buy souvenirs today and leave tomorrow.

On the giant salt rock cliff beside the Siwa Oasis Lake in the Sahara Desert, there is a wizard shopping street like Diagon Alley in the cave. Harry took a lot of gold coins from Gringotts before coming out, intending to buy a few things with an Egyptian style. Go back to see friends off.

Harry squatted in front of a stall run by a young wizard selling bookmarks made of papyrus.

These bookmarks are all Egyptian-style patterns with moving animals and characters, and there are more than twenty kinds.

Harry decided to buy one of each style, which would probably be enough for Hermione.

There was a rattlesnake in the stall next to him that looked just like a real one. When its tail was raised and vibrating, it could play the music of "Jingle Bells", so he bought it and played with it himself.

Elsewhere, Fred and George were muttering about buying something to go back and tease people, Mrs. Weasley was shopping in a spice shop, and Bill took Ginny and Ron to buy snacks.

After Harry finished shopping, he came to a small restaurant. Everyone agreed to meet here after shopping, but now he is the only one coming.

There are many booths separated by tapestries in the store, and there are a lot of people there. Only when you go to the very back can you find an empty seat.

Harry first ordered a white drink, which is a relatively thin rice paste made by grinding rice into powder and cooking it. Coconut milk, almonds or different spices can be added to it to create various flavors. He likes almond flavor.

Then he ordered another snack, which was just ordinary fried dough, deep-fried and covered in honey.

People came to sell things in the store from time to time, and an old man used imperfect English to sell Harry a gray-white stone mask.

This mask is very rough, with many cracks on it. Two long canine teeth are outside the lips. Above the bridge of the nose is a scorpion's tail, curled in a circle on the right side of the forehead.

According to the old man selling things, this mask was found in a very ancient pyramid. Wearing it on the face can refresh the mind without any side effects. Seeing as he is from the UK, it is a discount.

Harry thought this mask was quite interesting, so he bought it and gave it to Charles.

Every now and then the customers at the place next to him left while shopping, but the place was quickly cleared and new customers arrived.

The voices were Arthur and Percy. Harry was just about to go over when he heard Arthur say: "Percy, if Black hasn't been arrested by the time school starts, you have to be careful. He might go to Hogwarts to find him." Harry."

Harry was confused, what was going on?

He stayed in his seat and listened to what Arthur had to say.

Percy naturally didn't understand what happened before, and asked equally strangely: "Is there something going on between Black and Harry?"

Arthur was about to answer as the waiter brought their order, which took a while that seemed to Harry like a whole year.

Arthur took a sip of juice, making Harry behind him feel like he had been waiting for another month. After putting down the cup, he said, "Dumbledore told me about Black. He agreed that Harry would come to Egypt with us. The main reason was that he didn't want to let Harry come to Egypt with us." Black found Harry."

"Harry's father, James Potter, had several very close friends at Hogwarts who were always inseparable. They were Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Sirius Black. "

"Black and Potter... James Potter have a very good relationship. Black was the best man when the Potters got married. After Harry was born, the Potters asked him to be Harry's godfather."

Harry was stunned. He knew Lupine and had heard him talk about many of his parents' past events. During this time, he had mentioned Peter, but he had never even heard him say a "B" about Black.

Harry thought about it again. Lupine seemed to have mentioned "a friend" a lot before. At that time, he thought it was because he couldn't remember the name. But now it seemed that it was Black?

Percy asked the question that Harry wanted to ask: "If Black has such a good relationship with the Potters, why would he become the accomplice of You-Know-Who?"

"Alas..." Arthur sighed, "Those are all disguises."

"The Black family are all Slytherins, with the exception of Sirius Black, who is Gryffindor."

"Many people suspected that he was a subordinate of the mysterious man from the beginning. He lurked in Gryffindor and gained Dumbledore's trust until he betrayed the Potters that year."

In the following time, Arthur told the story of how the Potters were betrayed and killed, but he didn't know anything about the prophecy.

"Percy," Arthur said to his son solemnly, "You-Know-Who failed because of Harry. As You-Know-Who's most loyal lackey, Black's first thing after escaping from prison must be to kill him for revenge."

On the other half of the tapestry, Harry unknowingly smashed the cup into powder. The drink flowed all over the table and dripped onto his trousers without even noticing.

Harry was about to stand up and go over, but then Arthur said: "Harry is our family, so you should pay more attention to his safety."

"He can also go to Hogsmeade this year. I'm worried that Black will attack there."

Percy said, "Yeah, looking at Ginny like that, it's no surprise that she will definitely marry Potter in the future."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

He said proudly: "I am the president of the Boys' Student Union and can do many things."

Needless to say to Arthur, Percy was in a relationship with Penello, and they could understand Ginny's actions at a glance, but the child was still too young to say it publicly.

At this moment, Harry's head suddenly couldn't handle Black and Ginny's affairs at the same time, and it shut down.

Suddenly, he felt four fierce eyes looking at him, and he was startled to find that Fred and George were sitting in the seats opposite each other.

The twin brothers had borrowed Charles's "The Book of Invisibility" for a night tour in the castle. When they entered the store just now, they saw Percy and his father sitting together. They didn't want to listen to Percy's long talk about the president of the student union, so they turned invisible and went there. Next door.

When they saw Harry here, they originally wanted to make fun of him, but they heard the most important part at the end.

Harry couldn't remember how he spent the next half day, or how he returned to England from Egypt. As soon as he returned to the Ministry of Magic, he immediately ran back to No. 3 Privet Drive.
