By the time our family returned to the mild climate of Britain, my letter box was jammed to the brim.There are newspapers and magazines from the Muggle world; there are also newspapers and book lists from the wizarding world, including Floo powder and simple life kits that are delivered every month.

"Kelly, divide the letter." Mom shoved a large bunch of white envelopes in front of me, and rejected my idea of ​​going upstairs to pack, "We all know you will come down to pack eventually, So don't waste your time arguing with me."

"...don't waste your time arguing with me." I repeated her words in a low voice, reluctantly sitting at the dining table and sorting letters and packages.

"Gidero Lockhart teaches you to get rid of household pests", "Conjure a table meal"... "Mom! Why are you still ordering Lockhart's book!" I seem to see a big puddle of oil Like shit, the vixen picked up the book with two fingers and threw it aside.

"This is his out-of-print book." My mother said casually while packing her luggage with her head down. "Haven't you heard? He completely lost his memory and creative ability. So the publishing house reprinted his book. It’s an out-of-print series.”

I turned my head and rolled my eyes noncommittally, and started sorting out the remaining papers.And then, the Daily Prophet caught my eye.

On the front page of the newspaper, a large photograph took up half of the page, and the gaunt, pale face of Peter Pedillo loomed there.His state was even more miserable than when he was transformed into a living person that day. Fear and viciousness flashed in his small, watery eyes, and his expression was terrified.

Seeing this face suddenly gave me a lot of shock, and when I saw the bold title below, my heart almost jumped out of my mouth.

"Pedilou the Desperado escaped"

I started to feel dizzy, so I grabbed the latest issue of the newspaper and read it carefully: The deceased hero Peter Pedilu, who was awarded the Order of Merlin First Class, was found to be still alive last year. The Ministry of Magic has confirmed through investigation and research that this The so-called 'big hero' was the one who killed 13 Muggles and blew up the streets, and was imprisoned in Azkaban last month.

However, last week, this vicious criminal escaped from Azkaban again, and there was nothing unusual before. "It's like he's Apparating," said a Ministry official. "I mean, there's no sign of it!"

The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, said this morning that he would do his best to hunt down Peter Pedillo, bring him to justice as soon as possible, and restore peace to the wizarding world.

The ear-piercing phone rang, and with a pale face, I rushed to the hanging landline next to the refrigerator, trembling my fingertips, and put the receiver to my ear.

"Hello? Kelly?" Hermione's voice sounded, which eased my tense spirit: "Hermione! You're back from vacation too?"

"Yes," interrupted Hermione roughly, "have you seen the latest Daily Prophet?"

"I saw it! Is this true? How could this be?" Thinking of the scene where I faced Pedilu, I was a little worried. He remembered my appearance completely, and I exposed his plan. .

"Don't worry, Kelly. Let's meet tomorrow in Diagon Alley. I also wrote to make an appointment with Ron and Harry. Let's go buy books for the new semester and talk about it by the way."

Hermione was also very nervous, but she comforted me patiently, and I gradually calmed down and agreed to her: "Okay, then we will meet in Diagon Alley tomorrow afternoon."

After lunch the next day, I emerged from the fireplace with my bulging satchel on my back.The smoke made me cough, and the communal hearth room in Diagon Alley was still crowded with the school day approaching.

We had an appointment to meet at Florin's, so I slogged my way through the crowd, skirting a few laughing children, and puffed on.

Suddenly, a bony hand reached out from the crowd in front of me and grabbed my wrist.My heart skipped a beat, and I looked up suddenly, but it was Harry's face.

"Come with me, they're all here." After a summer vacation, Harry grew a lot taller as if he had taken a heightening potion.Before the holiday, I was half a head taller than him, but now he is half a head taller than me.

However, his black hair was still unkempt and messy as before, and the thin calluses on his fingers were still there.The walking route led by Harry became much easier, and we held hands to the door of the soda shop, and I saw Hermione and Ron sitting side by side, looking desperately at us and waving.

Hermione was darker and taller than in the photo, Ron's hair had grown longer, and his freckles were still prominent.

"Wow! You've grown taller again!" Hermione couldn't help sighing the first moment she saw me, "I guess you must have changed your entire wardrobe."

"All four of us have grown taller, in other words, no one has grown taller." I smiled and put the satchel on the table and sat opposite Hermione.

Since both of them had ice cream and drinks on the table, Harry only bought two glasses of ice juice for me and him. I squinted my eyes and took a sip, and the cold cranberry juice slipped down my esophagus in an instant Going down, let my nervous mood ease.

"Okay, now let's get back to business." Seeing Ron and Harry start winking and talking again, Hermione's face became serious, "About the Peter Pediru thing, I think Kelly might have Dangerous, even more dangerous than Harry and Sirius."

"That's not necessarily true." Harry's face collapsed, and he snorted coldly, "Do you know? Just because Pediru escaped from Azkaban, people from the Ministry of Magic even suspected that Sirius did it. Today Called him back to the Ministry of Magic for questioning."

"Have they lost their minds?" Ron opened his mouth in surprise. "Who in this world can hate Pediru more? Oh, I hate him so much, so I'm going to take him out of the world's most terrible out of prison."

"Ministry of Magic," said Harry dismissively.

Hermione knocked on the table, trying to bring the topic back: "To be honest, compared to Sirius and Harry, Pediru is more likely to take revenge on Kelly. I think that a character like Pediru is most likely to hide Get up and go incognito looking for the best time. But we can't rule out the possibility that he lost his mind and came to Kelly for revenge."

"Then let him come!" With my friends by my side, I suddenly lost my fear and said angrily, "Let me fight him for [-] rounds, either I will die or he will die."

"Yes, not to mention we're still here." Ron cooed, dancing the straw with pride, spilling watermelon juice all over Harry's face.

Harry wiped his face: "Yes, that's right."

And Hermione looked at us with the eyes of a group of first-years clamoring to explore the Forbidden Forest: "Oh... well, let me think again. At least Kelly, you have to step up your spell practice again, Your second grade has been sleeping for months."

We threw all the empty bottles into the trash can at the door, and then went to buy new books together. Ron and we showed off how well his new wand fits, and he has a soul resonance with him: "Look Brand new wand. Willow, fourteen inches long, with a unicorn's tail hair in it."

Because there were too many people in Diagon Alley, we planned to split up, and then we gathered at the Leaky Cauldron, because Harry invited us to sit at 12 Grimmauld Place after shopping.

"Come on! You haven't been there yet, Sirius must welcome you!" he insisted.

We were automatically divided into a group of boys and a group of girls. They were in charge of the textbooks, we were in charge of the utensils, and because of my height, I planned to go to Madam Malkin's shop to buy some robes.

Hermione wanted to buy a pet, her eyes were full of joy and anticipation: "September is my birthday, and Mom and Dad gave me some extra money to buy birthday presents. I want to buy an owl, Like you, all have owls."

By the time we walked into the Fantastic Beasts store with our bags, there weren't many wizards left.As soon as Hermione entered the store, she ran towards the owl area, while I looked curiously at the snow-white deformed rabbit at the door.

I watched as the rabbit transformed into a creamy pink top hat and back; into a crystal plate and back again.I could stare at it all day.

"Ouch!" Hermione screamed, and I immediately abandoned the rabbit and rushed into the store, seeing her with her back to me, trying to comfort an animal in her arms: "Quiet, quiet."

I walked around several cat cages and stood in front of her, only to find that what she was holding was a big ginger cat, with a big round face and facial features squeezed together, as if trapped by a piece of cat. Bricks have been shot the same.

"Aren't you going to buy an owl?" I gently reminded Hermione, who was sucking on the cat's head, and she was burying her face in the cat's back fur excitedly.

"No need, I'm going to buy Crookshanks." Reluctantly, Hermione pulled/pull/pull/out/the face from its back, and held it extremely quickly to pay. "You know what? It's been here too long, so lonely...I think I'm his friend."

I had no choice but to watch Hermione hand over the money and the cat, tentatively pointing this ugly cat named Crookshanks.

"Meow." It raised its head and looked at me with watery round eyes.

……

By the time Ron and Harry walked into the Leaky Cauldron, Hermione and I had already been arguing.

"Please! Let me hold you just a little longer!" I pleaded, unable to live without Crookshanks' soft fur.

"No! If you hold it for too long, it will feel uncomfortable." Hermione firmly refused me, but she firmly rubbed the cat into her arms.

"Hermione! You spent a lot of money to buy yourself a disabled owl." Ron yelled in surprise, and Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I just like Crookshanks, the name of this cat." Hermione held it like a baby. "I don't need your opinion on this, Ronald."

Hermione liked to call people by their full names when she was angry, and Ron took out the little squirrel from his pocket very unhappy: "Don't you think our pets have a little physical conflict?"

"What nonsense? And we can obviously try to avoid seeing the two of them." Hermione hesitated.But Crookshanks saw the right moment and jumped out of her arms, heading straight for Ron.

"Ouch!" Ron yelled in fright, and the little squirrel squeaked and ran around on the table, being chased by Crookshanks and running around. Harry quickly grabbed the little squirrel in his hand, Lukeshan also threw himself into his arms.

Harry groaned when he was hit, I hurried forward to check his condition, stretched out my hand and carried Crookshanks away: "Are you all right, Harry?" "Fortunately, he is not dead." Harry said, he grabbed Get up from the ground with my hands.

"I'm sorry, Harry." Hermione turned pale with fright, and Ron also patted the ashes behind him.

We were torn apart by two small pets, but when we got back to our seats, they were slumped against each other on the dining table.The little squirrel lay comfortably on Crookshanks' back, and Crookshanks squinted his eyes and began to doze off.

Ron and Hermione, who were still arguing just now, looked at each other and didn't speak to each other.

"Let's go, you stay at my house for dinner tonight, okay?" Harry rubbed his chest as he walked out, and all the books and utensils we bought had already been carried away through the fireplace.

"Of course." We all agreed and left behind Harry.
