Magical Studies at Hogwarts

This year at the Burrow has been relaxing and depressing.

Relaxation is easy to understand. No matter what it looks like outside, as long as the Weasleys are in the Burrow, there will never be a lack of laughter here, even if the two people who provided most of the laughter in the past are not here now.

However, the severe situation now affects this happy place. Mr. Weasley's promotion is a good thing and a bad thing. After all, he has to go to work and face danger every day.This is also true for Bill, plus the twins who have been in the Diagon Alley shop, Charlie who has not yet returned to England, and Percy, who has not had contact with his family yet.

Mrs. Weasley was worried. Although she would never show her vulnerable side, the clock that never left her body, representing the safety of the Weasley family, still said it all.

Harry didn't notice the tension hidden in the relaxed atmosphere of the Burrow. Maybe Hermione did, but she wouldn't tell Harry and Ron about it.

Being able to spend the rest of the holiday in peace and play garden quidditch with Ron, Hermione, and Ginny every day was already heaven for Harry.

It was much better than when he was at the Dursley's.

Of course, he still knew what was going on outside. The Daily Prophet publishes some bad news every day. When Mr. Weasley and Bill come back, they will also share some news that has not been published in the newspaper. In addition, members of the Order of the Phoenix come to visit the Burrow from time to time. Everything They all told Harry clearly that the terror caused by Voldemort and his followers was still sweeping across Britain.

This did not change on his birthday.

"Two more dementor attacks have occurred." Lupine, who specially sent Harry a birthday cake, hugged him and said in a chat with others, "There are also those who were in the north a few days ago. They didn't shy away from Muggles at all now. The Ministry of Magic simply didn't have enough manpower. Scrimgeour sent them to those big cities. When I arrived..."

"Okay, let's talk about something else, Remus..." Mrs. Weasley said with a frown, handing a piece of cake to Lupin, but before she could finish speaking, Fleur took over.

"Remember Florin Fusco?" said Fleur.

"The one who runs the ice cream shop in Diagon Alley?" Harry asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"According to the current signs, he should have been robbed and is in the store." Fleur said.

"Why? He's a nice guy. He always treats us to free ice cream, even though it's very small..." Ron stopped mid-sentence under Mrs. Weasley's glare.

At this time, Mr. Weasley said: "Speaking of Diagon Alley, it seems that Ollivander is missing too."

"Ollivander from Ollivander's Wand Shop?" Ginny said in surprise.

"Yes, that's him. There are no signs of a struggle. No one knows whether he left on his own or was kidnapped by those guys."

"Who should new students buy wands from?" Harry asked.

"Cedric is there. He worked in the wand shop after graduation. Amos had a few arguments with him about this." Mr. Weasley said. "He is not good at making new wands, but he should be able to sell new wands." It’s still okay…”

Harry was eating the cake and listening to them chatting about the outside world, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.He knew Cedric, the outstanding graduate of Hufflepuff, the best person in Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament, except for... that person.

And...Qiu's boyfriend...

The birthday night passed in such a dull way. Everyone was worried about something. Although there was constant laughter, the atmosphere was still a bit depressing.But by the next day, this depression disappeared.

Harry received a letter from Hogwarts, he has been selected as captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team!

"Great! Now your status is the same as that of a prefect. You can also use the prefect's private bathroom and other things." Hermione gave her heartfelt blessing.

"Harry, that's so cool! You are my captain now! Of course, if you let me play... Hahaha..." Ron happily played with the badge representing the captain and began to dream about the new semester. good life.

"Come on, Ron, you suck!" Ginny broke Ron's fantasy mercilessly, and the two of them started to quarrel.

No one tried to persuade me, and no one started a fight. This was a normal thing in the Burrow.

"We can't delay it any longer. We have to go to Diagon Alley to buy you things for the new semester." Mrs. Weasley grabbed a Weasley with one hand, pulled them aside, and said seriously, "As long as If Arthur doesn’t work overtime on Saturday, we’ll go there on that day!”

"In this situation, I won't go there without him!"

Faced with Mrs. Weasley's serious attitude, Ron even made a joke, but was immediately taught a lesson, which made him behave honestly for several days.

On Saturday morning, Xu was finally going to Diagon Alley. Everyone was a little nervous, fearing that the plan would be ruined because Mr. Weasley was working overtime.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Towards evening a car pulled up outside the Burrow.Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny all wrapped themselves in a big cloak and got into the car one after another at Mrs. Weasley's urging.

"It's great. This car is so spacious!" Ron stretched out his limbs comfortably. He was very tall now and usually had to shrink down in the Burrow.

"Don't get used to it, this is just for Harry." Mr. Weasley, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and said, "He is under first-level protection now. When he gets to the Leaky Cauldron, there will be other security measures."

The car drives very fast, even faster than the Knight Bus, but it is more comfortable and will not roll around in the car due to sudden braking.Arriving at the Leaky Cauldron smoothly, they got out of the car one by one and saw what Mr. Weasley called "other security measures."

"Hagrid! Long time no see!" Harry greeted warmly, and Hagrid held him in his arms for a while before letting him go.

"The Ministry of Magic originally wanted to send a group of Aolo's, but Dumbledore said that I would be enough." Hagrid hugged the others enthusiastically and invited them in, "Okay, let's go in... "

The Leaky Cauldron was very deserted. Old Tom was the only one standing behind the bar. He didn't use the dirty rag to wipe the table, he just lay on it in boredom.

When they saw Harry and the others coming in, they just raised their heads and said hello, then lay back down.

"In this situation, you know, no one dares to come out..." Hagrid deliberately lowered his voice, although it was of no use.

They walked through the bar and came to the small courtyard with a trash can.Hagrid knocked on the wall with his pink umbrella, and the wall rolled to both sides, revealing a winding path.

Passing through another doorway, they finally arrived at Diagon Alley.
