Save the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 36: Hide and Seek

Speaking of Dumbledore, he was currently in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, listening to Mundungus Fletcher talk about how he discovered that Harry Potter had disappeared.

Mundungus Fletcher was a short wizard with a beard. He stood in front of Dumbledore, waving his hands, spittle spitting out of his mouth: "I am invisible on the roof opposite the Dursley's house." I went to the house and observed them for three days. Harry Potter stayed in the house and never came out. Later, Vogt Mack changed shifts with me. When I came back to replace him three days later, I heard him say that one time Dursley The whole family of three went out without taking Potter with them, and without asking Mrs. Figg to take care of Potter, so I felt something was wrong."

Mrs. Figg is Dursley's old neighbor, only two streets away from the Dursleys.When Harry Potter was a child, whenever the Dursleys were out of town and unable to take care of him, the Dursleys would entrust Harry to Mrs. Figg and ask her to help take care of Harry, without exception.

"Then how did you decide that Harry was missing?" Dumbledore clasped his hands and placed them on the table.

"The Dursleys haven't come home for two days. I asked Mrs. Figg, and Mrs. Figg found out that the Dursleys had gone on vacation and wouldn't be back for a month." Mundungus Fletcher looked depressed. , seemed to be blaming himself for not taking a good look at Harry Potter, "I realized that Harry Potter might really be missing. But no matter how I searched, I couldn't find him."

"Is there any news about your friends?" Dumbledore asked, a sharp light flashing through his half-moon glasses.

Mundungus Fletch's friends were the lower rungs of the wizarding world, and his friends were liars and thieves.These people are everywhere, and they can always get some information that others can't.

"No." Mundungus Fletcher slumped his shoulders. "After I left Mrs. Figg's house, I immediately went to find my friends. I talked to them very cautiously about Harry Potter. They were there. No updates on Potter either."

"I understand, you continue to pay attention to the news about Harry. Leave the rest to me."

Mundungus Fletcher nodded obediently and left.

Dumbledore sat in his chair and did not move for a long time.

"Fawkes," Dumbledore looked at a corner of the office for a long time, where there was a big colorful bird, "Tell me, did Harry leave on his own or was he kidnapped?"

"Dear Harry:

Principal Dumbledore came to my house today.He asked me if I had contacted you recently.I told Principal Dumbledore that we had contacted half a month ago.

Principal Dumbledore also asked me some things about you, and I answered him according to your instructions.Does it really matter? He seems to really want to know you.

Principal Dumbledore also told your mother about your life at the Dursleys, and your mother felt very angry.Then Principal Dumbledore suggested to my mother that I could invite you to come to my house to spend the summer vacation.

This is exactly what you guessed. Merlin, my friend, when did you get the gift of prophecy, please teach me or help me predict whether the Bulgarian team can win the next Quidditch match.If you predict the outcome, please let me know.

your loyal friend

Ron"

Lin Zhen closed the letter and smiled.

Fortunately, before he acted, he roughly speculated on what Dumbledore might do when he knew he had disappeared.But this also further confirmed that Dumbledore was indeed paying close attention to him.

Well, it seems that if Dumbledore doesn't get his news from Ron, the next step may be to find Severus.

Looking at the time, it's time to go to Malfoy Manor.

Lin Zhen took out a blank piece of letter paper, dipped the quill in ink, and began to write:

"Dear Ron:

Thank you very much for your letter. If Principal Dumbledore finds you again, you can tell him that you don't know where I am. Don't worry. Everything you said is the truth, isn't it? We just hid part of it and didn't say it. It doesn't matter.

In fact, I don’t have the gift of prophecy. What I guessed is just a coincidence. If it is true, maybe it is the same as when you play wizard chess. Not only do you have to think about how your pieces will move every move, but you also have to anticipate your opponent. what will be done next.Remember to handle stationery according to the old rules.

Say hello to your parents for me. Thank you for caring so much about me. See you at the beginning of school.

your true friend

Harry"

Watching Xi Ren flap his wings and fly into the night sky, Lin Zhen decided to say goodbye to Snape tomorrow.

In the morning, Lin Zhen packed her luggage and went downstairs to make a hearty breakfast.Snape came out of the cellar, his eyes black and blue.

"To be honest, Severus," Lin Zhen said to Snape while drinking milk, "you really look like a vampire like this."

Snape glared at him: "Is this a new name for your Potions Master? If I remember correctly, you little trolls are all calling me the greasy old bat behind my back."

"Maybe you can smile more." Lin Zhen said, "Then the children will like you more."

"Smile like Dumbledore's old bee who only loves sweets." Snape bared his teeth at him with a sinister smile, "Like this"

Lin Zhen couldn't help but cover her eyes: "Forget it, you should just stay the same. With such a smile, the children won't dare to sleep in the middle of the night."

He paused: "Speaking of Dumbledore, he already knows that I am no longer at the Dursley's."

"Um"

"Ron told me that Dumbledore found him and talked to him about me, but found nothing. I think he may come to you next." Lin Zhen picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, stood up and left the table .

"I think it's time for me to be a guest at Draco's house. Does your fireplace lead to Malfoy Manor?" Lin Zhen asked standing at the top of the stairs.

Snape started on his breakfast: "floo powder by the fireplace."

Lin Zhen went upstairs and wrote a letter to Draco.

Just after lunch time, the fireplace in the living room made a "boom" sound, and Draco's figure appeared in the fireplace.

Draco gave himself a "new look". The dust on his body suddenly disappeared, and his whole face was radiant.

"Harry" Draco smiled brightly, but stood reservedly in front of the fireplace without moving, "I'm here to pick you up."

Lin Zhen greeted him with a smile and went upstairs to get her luggage.

Only then did Draco notice Snape, who was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace and had just put down his book.

He touched his robe sheepishly: "Oh, good afternoon, godfather."

Snape nodded coolly.

Lin Zhen came down with her luggage.He placed a bag of bottles and cans on the table next to the sofa.

"I bought this in a Muggle drugstore." Lin Zhen said to Snape. "Some of their medicines are potions, some are pills, and some are powdered granules. I was thinking, maybe we can try it and use the magic medicine as well." The medicine is made into tablets or powder so it is easy to carry.”

Snape opened the bag, took out a small medicine bottle and looked at it, looking thoughtful.

Draco's eyes shone: "Godfather, if necessary, you can come to Malfoy Manor. You know there is everything in the cellar of Malfoy Manor. Harry and I can also participate in the making of the potion, and Dad really miss you."

Snape said nothing and motioned for them to leave quickly.

Draco had no choice but to grab a handful of Floo powder and leave.

"Goodbye, Severus." Lin Zhen said and left.

"Welcome to Malfoy Manor" Draco stood by the fireplace and saluted him with a smile.

Lin Zhen stepped out of the fireplace and imitated Draco's previous appearance, giving herself a "new look."A house elf in an apron appeared in front of him and bowed to him, his pointed nose touching the soft carpet.

"Welcome, little Master Harry." The house elf straightened up and reached out to take the luggage from Lin Zhen's hand, "Bod is at your service. Please hand the luggage to Bod."

Lin Zhen said "thank you" to her softly. Bod's eyes widened with excitement and he happily carried the luggage away.

"Bod will put your luggage in the room prepared for you." Draco said happily, "Now, I will take you around the manor."

"Severus." Dumbledore appeared in Snape's living room.

Snape heard the noise in the cellar and came up angrily: "I wonder if Gryffindor will never learn to say hello when visiting other people's homes."

"I don't think you'll mind," Dumbledore said with a wink.

"I mind very much." Snape spat out a long list of titles, "So, the distinguished Headmaster of Hogwarts, the great White Wizard, Mr. Dumbledore, would you please break into your poor house at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night? What does the employee want to do at home?”

Dumbledore knew that whenever Snape called him that, it meant he was angry.

"I'm sorry to bother you," Dumbledore said apologetically, "but there's something I think you need to know."

"What is it?" Snape said expressionlessly.

"I received the news," Dumbledore said as he sat down on the sofa, "Harry disappeared from his uncle's house in the third week of the holiday."

"What does this have to do with me?" Snape's face was still paralyzed and his tone was cold.

"Has Harry contacted you?" Dumbledore took out a candy from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, took out another one, and handed it to Snape, "Would you like one?"

Snape tossed his robe and sat on another sofa: "Believe me, I won't work overtime to make the tooth-strengthening potion for you. Besides, if your head is not corroded by syrup, you will know , your savior has no reason to contact me, an annoying professor, on his vacation.”

Dumbledore chuckled: "You can't say that, Severus. Harry always liked to run into your cellar when he was in school."
