Chapter 79 Bad News (3)

Jane was finishing her Transfiguration thesis when the news came that Harry had inflated his aunt into a balloon.The moment she got the news, she immediately wrote Harry a letter.The content of the letter is only one sentence, asking where he is now.

When Derrick knocked on the door, Jane had already packed her luggage.

"Are you leaving here?" Derrick asked in surprise.

Jane nodded, hurriedly stuffed her hat into the box, and said without looking back: "My friend has encountered a little situation, I want to go and have a look."

"What kind of situation?" Derrick asked.

"Underage wizards ran away from home and used magic." Jane closed the box, took a breath, and looked at Derrick: "I've already called to book a plane ticket, I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

Derrick shrugged: "It's not a big deal. In fact, what I want to say is that if you are in a hurry to go back to the UK, I think we can go back by our own plane, which will be faster."

Jane looked at Derrick in surprise: "I don't know when you still have a plane."

"Because I took you out for a trip, so I thought you couldn't see much scenery in a private plane, so..." Derrick didn't continue talking, but changed the subject and said: "I'm going to make a call, you can also Go ahead and cancel your ticket."

Jane looked at the back of Derrick leaving, smiled slightly, and then sat down on the bed.

When Jane set foot on British soil again, Jane received a reply from Harry.She threw her luggage to Derrick, and went to the Leaky Cauldron by herself.

Because Snape took her to the Leaky Cauldron once before, Jane could still remember the way, so she directly hailed a taxi and went nearby.

When she stepped into the door of the Leaky Cauldron, Tom, the boss standing behind the bar counter, greeted her immediately: "Is this Miss Jean?"

Jane raised her eyebrows in surprise, she didn't expect this weird-looking bar owner to know her.

Tom pulled a smile at Jane, which made his whole face pucker up, looking a little funny.He said hoarsely, "Are you here for Mr. Potter? He told me about you. He said you would come to him, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"Yes." Jane nodded: "I just received a letter from Harry, so I came here in a hurry."

Tom came out from behind the bar counter. Since it was not yet noon, there were not many people in the Leaky Cauldron, so old Tom didn't have to worry about the reception being delayed.He was wearing a shabby gray wizard robe, and the ridiculous thing was that he wore an apron outside his wizard robe. This weird dress made Jane despair of wizards' aesthetics again.Old Tom bent his body and said to Jane: "There is no one in the bar now. I can take you up. People who come here for the first time will always get lost in the upstairs corridor. Mr. Mullen who lived here last time I wandered around here for more than ten minutes and couldn't find my room, so I had to run downstairs to ask for help. But I was too busy at that time, and I was the only one here."

Jane followed Old Tom, stepping on the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.And as old Tom said, the curved corridors on the second floor of the Leaky Cauldron are indeed disorienting. What's more, the doorways of every room here are the same, except for the codes on them. .

"It looks like a maze here." Jane will write down a house number every time she passes a turning intersection, so that next time she won't be lost like that Mr. Mullen.

"Oh, yes," said old Tom.

Then they stopped at the door of a room marked 11. Old Tom knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Potter, your friend Miss Jean is here to see you."

Jane heard a crackling sound coming from the room, and soon the door of the room was opened.

Harry stood at the door, looked at Jane behind Old Tom, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Hey, Jane, you're really fast."

Looking at Harry's messy hair and rosy face, Jane felt that her worries along the way were unnecessary.When she didn't see Harry before, she was worried whether Harry would receive a leaflet from the Ministry of Magic. After all, underage children were not allowed to use magic outside of school.She thought Harry would be depressed and in a bad state, because she knew exactly what Hogwarts meant to Harry.But obviously, she guessed wrong.

Old Tom left in good time, Harry stepped aside, and Jane entered the room.

"Tell me, what's wrong." Jane looked around the overall facilities of the room, and felt that it wasn't too bad.She found a chair and sat down, staring at Harry who was standing in the room obviously a little embarrassed: "I rushed back from Venice as soon as I got the news, I thought you would be arrested by the Ministry of Magic, but I didn't expect What's more, you let me come to the Leaky Cauldron. And from the looks of you, you seem to be doing well."

"I'm sorry for worrying you." Harry blushed a little embarrassedly, his eyes were fixed on the crack in the floor, as if a flower could bloom in that crack: "I didn't Thinking of this, I thought they would confiscate my wand, or simply expel me from Hogwarts. But they didn't. This is so strange!" At this point, Harry looked up at Jane, his face The blush began to fade: "And what makes me feel even more strange is that the Minister of Magic Fudge opened a room here for me himself. They didn't want to pursue any problems at all."

When Jane heard this, she also became interested: "You mean Fudge, Minister of Magic?"

Harry said, "Yes."

"What did he tell you?"

Harry thought for a moment, and began to imitate Gifford's way of speaking: "'Oh, dear boy, we will not punish you for such a small thing! It was an accident! Send them to Azkaban!'Jane, can you believe it? The Ministry of Magic will not pursue this matter. I still remember that they put Hagrid in Azkaban last year, Without any evidence."

"It looks like someone drank Polyjuice Potion and pretended to be Giff." Jane agreed with Harry's judgment on this matter: "Then why didn't they let you go back to your uncle and aunt's house? Instead let you Live here. A bar?"

When it comes to his uncle and aunt, Harry's expression became very bad. He sat down on the bed and said: "Gifford told me that my uncle and aunt are very angry, and hope that I will be happy during this year's Christmas and Easter holidays." Don’t even go back. It’s like how much I like to leave Hogwarts and go to Privet Drive. If it’s not because of the summer vacation, I want to stay in Hogwarts forever.”

Jane pondered for a while, then said thoughtfully: "I don't think this is something your uncle and aunt would say."

Harry looked at Jane in bewilderment.

Jane looked at Harry, as if confirming something, and said, "Because your uncle and aunt know that you won't go back during the holiday, so they won't say this nonsense at all. Just like you said , when your uncle and aunt said this, it seemed as if they expected you to go back. But the fact is on the contrary, you and your uncle and aunt are completely incompatible. So I think Jifu's words are half true and half false, and your uncle and aunt are angry For sure, but they definitely haven't said anything about Easter and Christmas."
