Save the world from Hogwarts

Snape apparated and sent Lin Zhen to a bus stop in London.With a wave of his wand, Snape released the Mixing Curse on Lin Zhen and turned around to leave.

"Severus," Lin Zhen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Has Dumbledore come to see you?"

"That old bee has bothered me many times because of you, a troublesome little troll." Snape said impatiently, and walked away without even a moment's pause, without looking back.

Lin Zhen looked at Snape's hurried away figure and shook his head. His Potions Professor was probably anxious to go back and continue studying his potions.

Lin Zhen dragged her suitcase to the bus stop and got on the bus near the Leaky Cauldron.The bus drove fast and steadily, and not long after, Lin Zhen arrived at the destination.

The Leaky Cauldron was no different from when he came last year with Hagrid. The tattered signboard was still hanging there, and the dust on the door was still thick.

Lin Zhen walked in, asked the boss Tom for a room, and stayed there.

It's so common to have a name like Tom.Lin Zhen thought of the owner of that weird diary, whose name was also Tom.

While he was thinking, he placed the suitcase in a corner of the room and hung the empty owl cage next to the window.

The room was not big, with a small bed only big enough for one adult, and a small table standing beside the bed.There was also a small bathroom attached to the room. Lin Zhen looked at it and felt that when he took a shower here, he might need to be careful even when he turned around.

Lin Zhen put everything away, checked that it was still early, and planned to go shopping in Diagon Alley.He opened the door, stood there and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took out the diary stuffed in the corner of the suitcase and put it in his pocket.

Diagon Alley seems to be more lively than the last time I came here.Lin Zhen walked slowly on the main street, casually looking at the shops on both sides of the street.

He discovered a strange phenomenon: there were people coming and going on the street, but there were no customers in the shops on both sides.He withdrew his gaze and looked at the pedestrians passing by him.

Most of these pedestrians are women, including mature and steady housewives, and young and lovely lively girls.Their faces were flushed, they were talking excitedly about the "signing session" and hurried in one direction.

There were also some women walking by in twos and threes, holding or carrying a lot of things in their hands. With a satisfied smile on their faces, they carefully protected the things in their hands like treasures.

Maybe there was some promotion somewhere. Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows and walked into Mrs. Malkin's robe shop.

The robe shop was deserted, not a single customer.

The plump Mrs. Malkin heard the movement and quickly came over to greet her. She asked with a gentle smile: "Do you need anything, my child?"

"I want to customize two sets of dresses." Lin Zhen explained her intention.

Mrs. Malkin pulled out an album from the counter and asked Lin Zhen to choose a style.

"School is about to start. Do you want to order some school uniforms together?" Mrs. Malkin asked.

Lin Zhen thought for a while and nodded.

"You can go shopping around first and pick it up in two hours." Mrs. Malkin said cheerfully that Lin Zhen had just paid a large sum of gold galleons.

Lin Zhen walked around, enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea at a dessert shop, and then returned to Madam Malkin's robe shop to pick up his clothes.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the owl delivered the letter from the school.

Lin Zhen opened it and read it. The letter told him to take the Hogwarts Express from King's Cross Station to school on September [-]st. At the back, he also attached a list of new books he would need in the new school year.

Sophomore students need:

Standard Spells Level [-] by Miranda Gorshak, Breaking with the Goblin by Gilderoy Lockhart, Traveling with Ghouls by Gilderoy Lockhart, Vacationing with a Dominatrix by Gilderoy Lockhart, Walking with Trolls by Gilderoy Lockhart, Traveling with a Vampire by Gilderoy Lockhart, Wanderings with Werewolves by Gilderoy Lockhart, A Year with the Tibetan Snowman by Gilderoy Lockhart write.

It’s interesting, I don’t know who this Gilderoy Lockhart is, but almost all the second grade textbooks are his works.Judging from the title of the book, Gilderoy Lockhart seems to be a very remarkable person, with rich experience and great strength. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is actually writing a story.

Lin Zhen put away the envelope, took out the letter paper, and asked Ron, Hermione and Draco when they would come to Diagon Alley to buy supplies for the new semester.

Ron was the first to reply.He told Lin Zhen in the letter that he might go shopping in Diagon Alley with his family on Wednesday.

"Ginny is going to Hogwarts with us this year too, but man, don't be too surprised if she acts weird in front of you, Ginny just adores you. You know, when she learns that I When she couldn't invite you to our home, she ignored me for a whole week. Is an idol more important than a brother?" Ron wrote angrily in the letter.

Lin Zhen saw that the writing in this part was obviously much darker than the other parts, and he laughed silently. It seemed that Ron was quite dissatisfied with his sister's star-chasing behavior.

Early the next morning, the attacker delivered a new issue of the Daily Prophet, along with replies from Hermione and Draco.

Miraculously, Hermione told Lin Zhen that she would come to Diagon Alley with her parents on Wednesday.Draco said that he would follow Lin Zhen's arrangement.Lin Zhen wrote a reply to his friends, picked up the Daily Prophet and went downstairs to have breakfast.

"Good morning, Tom." Lin Zhen greeted the boss with a smile, "I need a glass of hot milk, a croissant, and a fried veal steak."

"Okay." Tom responded calmly.

There was no one at the bar in the morning, so Lin Zhen casually sat down in a corner.He unfolded the Daily Prophet, where a grinning man appeared on the front page.

"The autograph session for Gilderoy Lockhart, the most popular wizard who won the Most Charming Smile Award, is in full swing"

Lin Zhen quickly glanced at the content and roughly understood what he saw in Diagon Alley yesterday.At the same time, he was also secretly guessing that this semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor might be one of Gilderoy Lockhart's fans.

Tom quickly brought his breakfast, he put down the newspaper, finished his breakfast happily, and then continued to sit on the chair, reading the newspaper he had just not finished reading.

Suddenly, Lin Zhen found a piece of news in a small corner of the newspaper: "The famous Death Eaters Lestrange and his wife escaped from Azkaban at five o'clock this morning."

Lin Zhen, the Lestrange couple, planned to find an opportunity to ask Lucius about the Death Eater couple on Wednesday.If nothing else, he was a little curious as to why the couple suddenly escaped from prison.This incident may have a little impact on his plans.Moreover, ever since Lin Zhen saw the news, she began to feel a lump in her throat.

He found it ironic that the Daily Prophet was the most widely sold official newspaper published by the Ministry of Magic that he knew of.But in this newspaper, irrelevant idol information occupies the front page of the newspaper, while news that may harm the people is arranged in a corner where it is not easy to find.

Lin Zhen's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, she got up and went back to the room.

"Dear Harry:

Dad asked me to write to tell you that you should pay more attention to whether there are suspicious characters around you recently. I think you have also noticed that the Lestranges' escape from prison was mentioned in the Daily Prophet.

Dad said that Bellatrix Lestrange was the Dark Lord's most loyal and craziest servant. Compared to her husband Rodolphus Lestrange, Bellatrix was more dangerous.Not only is she crazy and cruel, but she is also very obsessed with the Dark Lord. If you are discovered by her, you may be in danger.Please be careful, mom is very worried about you.

Also, on Wednesday I will go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy textbooks and we can meet there.

your true friend

Draco"

It has to be said that having an attentive ally does make things a lot easier.Lin Zhen was still thinking about asking Lucius to find out the situation on Wednesday, but Lucius could quickly remind him when he received new information, which made him very satisfied.

Her understanding of the magical world needs to be strengthened. Whether it is magical knowledge or character relationships, this summer vacation has made Lin Zhen deeply aware of the shortcomings of her abilities.

There is a big difference between learning and absorbing on your own and being guided by someone, Lin Zhen thought about it silently.The intricate relationships between the characters will be guided by Lucius, which they had discussed before.words of magical knowledge

Lin Zhen raised her index finger and tapped the table, wondering if Dumbledore was willing to assume the role of his mentor.

Before the first grade started, Lin Zhen had a vague feeling that Dumbledore wanted to guide him to enter Gryffindor and become a courageous warrior.Over the course of the school year, Dumbledore had come to realize that he was not easily influenced.

During the Sorcerer's Stone incident at the end of last semester, Lin Zhen's performance reassured Dumbledore. However, his disappearance during the summer vacation may have caused Dumbledore to worry again.From this point of view, if he makes a request to Dumbledore this school year, hoping that Dumbledore will teach him additional magical knowledge, he must have a high probability of success, because in this way, Dumbledore will be able to better observe He did.

By the way, maybe you can get the clue about Tom Riddle from Dumbledore.

Dumbledore taught at Hogwarts 50 years ago.Someone who can be cared about by Voldemort is very likely to be a wizard. Then Tom Riddle may have studied at Hogwarts 50 years ago.

However, Lin Zhen thought that she had to think carefully about how to inquire about this news from Dumbledore without leaving any trace.
