Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

Lupert wrote the letter as quickly as possible and sent it out overnight. Soon, an anonymous letter was sent to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore often received all kinds of letters, including official letters from the Ministry of Magic, letters from his old friends and admirers around the world, and many letters with various purposes - he even received letters from candy companies Talk to him about the endorsement letter.

Dealing with dozens of emails every day before going to bed and after waking up has become routine for Dumbledore.

But today he received a rather special package. There was no sender's information on the package. It was an anonymous letter. There seemed to be something attached to the package.

For this kind of email, the experienced Dumbledore instinctively became vigilant. However, after a little inspection, he found that there was no evil magic in this letter.

After carefully opening the envelope, a black booklet was revealed inside.

book? Dumbledore's curiosity was piqued.

He opened the book, and the words on the title page came into his eyes, and his eyes suddenly froze: what happened on the Scottish plateau left a very deep impression on him.

Seeing that there was another letter in the envelope, he took it out and read it carefully.

"The Secret Order." Dumbledore muttered the name in a low voice, his eyes gradually deepening.

He decided to investigate this mysterious organization.

After ruining Dumbledore's holiday with a letter, Les began to enjoy his summer vacation - desserts, cold drinks and new age books intoxicated him.

Neville and Valentina have joined Lupet Dessert Shop and officially started their working life.

At first, Neville was in a hurry to calculate accounts and caused many accidents. Later, Les made him a fool's calculator, and his working career got on the right track. As for Valentina, she didn't do a bad job, her hands and feet were very neat, and she could make up for the trouble Neville had caused.

Such days lasted for half a month, and then were interrupted by the arrival of a visitor.

"One piece of tiramisu, one piece of Basque cake, take it away." When the delicate-faced silver-haired girl appeared at Lupet Dessert Shop, she attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Daphne? Why are you here?" Although Neville was a little surprised, he still took the dessert bag from Valentina's hand quickly and prepared to start settling accounts.

"No need to look for it." She placed a silver coin directly on the counter, then walked out carrying the packaged cake.

Looking at Daphne's leaving back, Valentina raised her eyebrows: "Familiar?"

"It's a classmate."

"envious."

……

"Want to eat cake?" Two pieces of cake suddenly appeared in Les's field of vision.

He was sitting outside the ice cream shop, enjoying the ice cream and sunshine while reading a book.

"Daphne? Why are you here?" Les raised his head, and the familiar silver came into view.

"Mom ordered a signed book by Lockhart at Flourish and Blotts, and I happened to have two sets of clothes made at Extraordinary Clothing." Daphne raised the two bags in her hands and waved them in front of Les's eyes. " So I was sent here to run errands!”

As for why she didn't send her house elf out to run errands, Daphne said it was better not to delve into the details.

"You should buy some summer clothes." Les nodded and took the Basque cake. Although tiramisu is sweet enough, its taste is too complicated and not to Les's liking. . He still prefers pure desserts like Basque cake.

In order to repay Daphne, Les also gave her a cream ice cream.

"By the way, I remember you invited me to your home for vacation before the vacation?"

Daphne was overjoyed: that's what she came for. However, she didn't express anything on her face. She just told Les elegantly that the door of Greengrass Manor was always open for him.

Les glanced at her and now said that he planned to go to her house again before the holiday was over. The little girl's expression must have been wonderful.

But he suppressed the idea of ​​playing a prank - this was something only Godric could do. Instead, he looked at Daphne and asked her if it was better to have a different day. Can he go to her house to play today?

The answer is of course.

Les left a note for Lupet, and after enjoying the cake and ice cream, he was about to get up and head to Greengrass Manor.

"Apparate? Or the Floo Network? It can't be a broomstick, right?" Les looked around and didn't see the Greengrass carriage, so he asked.

"Use this." Daphne took out an hourglass with a black upper part and a white lower part from her arms.

Les:?

"This is actually a door key." Daphne briefly explained to Les how to use the door key in her hand.

Different from common trigger-type and timed-type door keys, the door key in Daphne's hand is a combination of timing and triggering. Turn the black half of the hourglass up and the white side down. Once the sand has fallen, the portkey will take the holder of the portkey back to Greengrass Manor.

"Magical alchemy tool." Les looked at the thing called "Portkey" in Daphne's hand and marveled. In their time, there were no such convenient and interesting teleportation props.

Extremely brilliant space magic. After looking at the hourglass for a moment, Les came to the conclusion: the wizard who invented the door key can be called a genius.

Daphne placed the hourglass in her palm and motioned for Les to place his fingers on the hourglass.

When the last grain of sand fell into the bottom bottle, Les felt something like a hook suddenly hook behind his belly button, and he was lifted into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

He and Daphne were spinning rapidly like tops, but they were not thrown away due to centrifugal force because his fingertips were firmly stuck to the hourglass.

Les could feel Daphne being thrown around in the air, and their shoulders bumped into each other from time to time. After more than ten seconds, his feet stiffened and he hit the ground heavily.

After taking a few deep breaths to dispel the dizziness in his mind, Les found himself in a valley with rich water and grass.

The valley is covered with green grass and fruit trees, and a gurgling stream brings a touch of coolness to the hot summer. On the upper reaches of the creek, there is a large European-style villa with a white tone.

Les is quite familiar with this place. This is Greengrass Manor.

"Welcome to the Greengrass family's Summer Valley, where our family moves to during the summer."

"So you will go to other manors to live in other seasons?"

"Of course!" Daphne said proudly: "The seasons are different, and the manor you live in is also different. For example, the manor in winter has a very good hot spring!"

The Greengrass family would enjoy it.
