Apart from being busy with his thesis this summer, Harry was quietly waiting for news from Sirius. He was a little nervous until the news reported that Black was at large, and he was relieved when he saw the emaciated photo of his godfather.

Aunt Maggie was coming to live this day, and Harry deliberately avoided going out. The Dursleys still had some affection for him, but Maggie hated him completely. Maybe he stayed at home to flatter her , he now only needs to wait for Padfoot to come to him, and he is going to leave the Dursleys' house and live in the Leaky Cauldron until school starts.

After dinner, he came out from Mrs. Liwa's house and walked all the way to the garden in the middle of the street with the three dogs.There were hidden spies along the road, and the Ministry of Magic specially monitored his surroundings in case he was attacked. He walked with his mouth pursed and his head bowed, a little worried about the safety of Padfoot.

As the sky was getting darker, he intentionally led the dogs further and further away. Suddenly, there was a noise from the bushes in the corner. The three dogs he led barked twice vigilantly. Harry squinted and saw a big black dog. The dog stuck its head out.

"Honey, don't be afraid, stay there..." The big dog saw him walking towards him suddenly, and hurriedly backed away, Harry hurriedly stopped it.He quickly pulled the three dogs up to meet them, just like meeting their friends while walking the dogs.

"I know it's your Padfoot." Harry half-kneeled on the ground, hugged the big dog in his arms, and whispered in his ear, the big dog was very surprised and whined in his arms.

"Listen... there are spies nearby, you have to go quickly, we will meet at the screaming house after school starts, don't be impulsive, I know who the traitor is, I can protect myself, promise me you will be safe" Harry held the big dog in his arms After rubbing it, he let go. The big dog stared blankly at him and finally licked his hand, and walked away step by step.

The goal was achieved, and Harry hurriedly sent the three dogs back to Mrs. Liwa's house. Within 10 minutes of returning to the Dursley's house, a quarrel broke out in the house. Harry took his luggage and summoned the Knight Bus to leave the house. The Leaky Cauldron.

Fudge was waiting for him at the bar, and he was obviously relieved to see him coming. He didn't blow up Aunt Maggie's incident, and simply ran away from home. Fudge told him good things for a long time to persuade him, and he stayed at the bar at night. .

The days after that were much easier. He finished all his papers every day in the bright sunshine outside Florin's Cold Drink Shop, and sometimes he could get guidance from Florin himself. He and Florin often chatted about interesting things. In fact, Florin was amazed at the breadth of his knowledge of the hunt.

He took a bag of money, didn't buy some messy things, just went to the pharmacy to replenish the materials needed for this semester, and also selected some less-used materials, but there were still some out of stock, he could only take the latest mail order one.He wanted to make a mental soothing potion. He knew that Sirius must be in a bad state of mind in Azkaban, but the top-grade materials in pharmacies are generally not provided to students. It seems that he has to bother the old bat again, Harry exhaled.

Then he went to Mrs. Malkin's robe shop to order a few new robes. During this holiday, he grew faster, and his wrists and ankles were exposed. He compared his height, and he was much taller than before. It is very hopeful that it will be as tall and big as Sirius.In the end, he went to the bookstore to order the new book for this semester. Harry grinned when he saw the manager's collapsed expression on "The Monster Book of Monsters".Except for the books on the book list, Harry came to Lihen Bookstore to search for books every day. He looked like a little lioness now, but there were no profound books in the bookstore, so he could only pick whatever he was interested in.

After he stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for half a month, the surveillance relaxed a bit. Early this morning, he drank the Polyjuice Potion prepared last semester and slipped into Knockturn Alley wearing an invisibility cloak. He was going to Find a few little things.

He used the hair of a middle-aged Muggle man, there are all kinds of secrets in Knockturn Alley, as long as you show that you are not easy to mess with, no one will make trouble for nothing.Harry lifted off the invisibility cloak, adjusted his clothes, and walked into Bojinbok's shop.

Borgin was an old fritter, and Harry ignored his glibness and handed him the list he needed.Bo Jin stared at the parchment with sly eyebrows, went behind the counter and started rummaging through the boxes.

"You're fooling me..." Harry looked at the things he brought over, without even lifting his hand, Borgin's face darkened, he didn't expect a raw face to be capable.

"Oh! Sir... You have to know that the good quality of these things you want is very hard to find... so the price..." Harry squinted at him, Borgin shook his shoulders, and his back became even more hunched...

"This is the best cinnabar from the east. Look at it, sir. There is also the tooth of this wild tiger, which is of a rare quality. Can you see this opal? The wings of this vampire bat are very Complete" Harry took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, except for the opal, everything else was fine.

"Is there any red gold stone?" He returned the opal to Bo Jin, and Bo Jin took it with his head down. This opal is already the best in his store except for that necklace, and the price of red gold stone is not as high as that of opal.

"Sir! Do you think that opal necklace is good?" Harry glanced back, it was a rare curse necklace, but he needed a new material, and Bojin had no choice but to get the red stone.

"That's all." Harry took the red gold stone he handed over, looked at it carefully, and kept it because it was of good quality.

"A total of 350 four gold Galleons." Harry tilted his head and smiled, stretched out three fingers, and Bojin swallowed, "Why don't you get more money, sir..."

"If there is a new high-grade opal that can be kept for me, I will use an owl to get it." Harry shook his finger again, and Bojin agreed to the price of three hundred galleons when he heard him say this, and packed his things Well, gave him another VIP order form.

"I'll keep some good things for my husband in the future, and my husband often comes and walks slowly." Bo Jin didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable person, and bitterly accepted Gallen, and sent him out.

Harry went to the potion shop not far away. There were many weird things in the potion shop in Knockturn Alley. He picked out a few good-quality materials, but the gold thread was still out of stock, so he asked the boss at least It would take a month to arrive, so Harry had to leave the mail order and leave in a hurry.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the last day of summer vacation. He was sitting outside Florin's Cold Drink Shop reading a book, and heard the voices of Hermione and Ron.

"Saw you at last!" said Ron, sitting down next to Harry. "We went to the Leaky Cauldron, but they said you were gone, so we went to the bookshop, to Madam Malkin's, and... "

"I bought everything I needed for school last week, how did you know I lived at the Leaky Cauldron?" Harry closed the book and handed the two the cold drink list.

"My dad said it," said Ron curtly.Arthur worked at the Ministry of Magic and of course heard the story of Harry running away from home.

"Have you been bullied again?" Because Harry usually behaved very well-behaved, Hermione had also heard about Harry's experience at his aunt's house again and again, and expressed sympathy for it.

"It's okay... are you going to go shopping first?" Harry changed the subject, he didn't want to talk about the Dursleys.

"I just got a new wand! Look! Brand new wand, fourteen inches long, wicker, with a unicorn's tail hair. And we've got all the books." Ron took his wand out, Arthur won the big prize for the staff of the Ministry of Magic. During the summer vacation, his family not only traveled to Egypt, but also had spare money to buy new equipment.

They discussed Hermione's pile of books, and Hermione proposed to buy a pet because she had never had a pet. Ron also said that he needed to take his fake mouse to check.The three went to the magical creature store together.

After escaping from Sirius, the fake mouse lived in fear every day. Harry looked at the fake mouse being inspected by the witch, and Peter joined the Death Eaters greedily. Even after Voldemort's resurrection, he is still a villain who can be looked down upon. He doesn't know whether Peter has regretted it, and it is better to die in a fair manner than to live in an idyllic way.

Harry watched Crookshanks pounce on Peter again. This smart cat has seen through Peter's disguise. Hermione chose this huge cat. The cat is as smart as her owner. Min quarreled, and Harry didn't intend to expose Peter at this time, so he had to persuade the two of them first.

The Weasleys stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for the night. They also wanted to keep Harry safe. The Ministry of Magic would send a car to pick him up the next day.The children who didn't know anything outside were still playing around, Harry was thinking about his godfather, and looked at the lively Weasley brothers a little bit unmotivated.

The next morning they set off for the station in confusion.Arthur followed Harry until the pit stop.

"Now" he looked around at the students "there are so many of us, so we stand in pairs. I'm the first, and Harry is with me"

Arthur pushed Harry's luggage cart past first, followed by Harry.One by one they successfully crossed the platform, Molly kissed each of her children goodbye, then Hermione, and finally Harry "Be careful, Harry" She gave Harry a special hug, and Harry patted her reassuringly back.

"Harry, come here for a moment." Arthur shook his head towards a pillar, and Harry followed him behind the pillar, leaving the others to surround Molly.

"Before you leave, there's something I have to tell you" Arthur said nervously about Sirius, and Harry listened quietly without interrupting him.

"Arthur," cried Molly, who was now tending the men to the train. "Arthur, what are you doing? Time to go!"

"He's coming, Molly!" He turned to Harry, whispering even more urgently, "Listen, I want you to promise!"

"Make sure I'm obedient and stay in the castle!" Harry promised obediently.

"Harry, swear to me you won't go to Black... don't go to him no matter what you hear" Arthur said and patted him on the shoulder, why did this good boy suffer this

"Okay, don't worry." Harry nodded obediently, he didn't want Arthur to worry.

A loud whistle blew.Railroad workers walked along the train and shut all the doors.

"Good boy, go." Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, and the train began to move, puffing out steam.Harry hurried to the carriage door, Ron opened the door and let Harry get in the car.They leaned out the window and waved to the Weasleys until the train rounded the bend and they were out of sight.

"What did my dad tell you?" Ron put his hand on his shoulder, and the two walked to the carriage.

"Later" Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked down the corridor, looking for empty carriages, but all the carriages were full except the last one.

There was only one person in this carriage, and this person was sitting by the window, soundly asleep.The stranger wore a very worn wizard robe, patched in several places.He looked sick and tired.He looked quite young, but his light brown hair was streaked with gray.

"Who do you think he is?" Ron asked sharply.They sat down and closed the door.

"Professor Lupine," Harry whispered.

"How did you know?"

"Isn't it written on his suitcase, you didn't see it?" Hermione replied, pointing to the luggage rack above Lupin's head, "Professor R.J. Lupine" was printed on the corner of the suitcase, and the letters had peeled off. up.

"Wonder what he taught?" said Ron, frowning at Professor Lupine's lifeless profile.

"Obviously," whispered Hermione, "there's only one empty seat, isn't there! Defense Against the Dark Arts"

"Well, I hope he's up to it," said Ron dubiously, "Like a magic spell will finish him off, doesn't he look like that, anyway"

"Where's the noise?" Ron said suddenly.A faint, slender whistle came from somewhere.

"The looking glass you gave me." Harry stood up and went to the luggage rack to get the case. He took the pocket looking glass out of his robes, gave him a second look, and put it back again.

"Don't wake up the professor." The little lioness nodded in agreement.

They continued to discuss the Looking Glass and Hogsmeade. Harry said that the Dursleys didn't sign for him. His friend comforted him enough to ask McGonagall to agree. Harry smiled and said nothing.Hermione released Crookshanks and quarreled with Ron again.During lunch, Hermione called Lupine to get up, but he didn't wake up. Harry stopped her from calling and said to let him rest.Lupine just passed the full moon like this, and he came here in such a hurry because he was afraid that something would happen to Harry.

The train continued northward, and the rain had intensified, and the window panes were now a thick, sticky gray that gradually deepened until the lights in the corridors and in the luggage racks came on.The train swayed, the rain beat on the windows, and the wind howled.

"We're about to get there," said Ron, leaning forward to look at Lupine leaning against the now completely dark window.No sooner had he finished speaking than the train slowed down.

"Great," said Ron, standing up, walking cautiously around Lupine to see what was going on outside.

"I'm starving, I want to eat a lot..."

"There's no way we'll be there," said Hermione, looking at her watch.

"Then why did it stop?" The train was getting slower and slower.The sound of the wheels is quieter, and the sound of the wind and rain outside the window is louder.Harry silently took out the chocolate in his pocket, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth, damn dementor.The train suddenly shocked and stopped, and the sound of banging came from the distance, indicating that the luggage dropped from the shelf.Then, all the lights went out suddenly, and they were plunged into complete darkness.

"What happened?" Ron wanted to go out and see.

"Ouch!" Hermione gasped. "Ron, that's my foot!"

"Did you say the train broke down?"

"do not know…"

There was a short squeaking sound not far away, and Harry saw Ron's indistinct black silhouette.Ron wiped a clean spot on the windowpane and was looking out.

"There's something moving in there," said Ron. "I guess people are going out..."

The door of the carriage opened suddenly, and someone fell painfully onto Harry's lap.

"I'm sorry, do you know what happened? Ouch, I'm sorry!"

"Neville" Harry touched Neville's coat in the dark, pulled him up, and fumbled to lock the door from the inside.

"Harry is that you? What happened?"

"Don't go out, sit down!" There was a loud hiss and a cry of pain, it turned out that Neville had sat on Crookshanks by mistake.

"I'm going to ask the driver what's going on" Hermione's voice said.Harry tugged at her.At this time, I heard the doors of other carriages being opened again, followed by a blunt bang and two squeaky screams.

"Don't go out, don't move! Put the chocolate in your mouth" and handed them the chocolate.

"What's wrong? Who is that?" They were more cooperative, stuffing the chocolate into their mouths and muttering.Ron leaned against the carriage door trying to look out, and the scream he heard seemed to be Ginny's voice.

"Quiet!" Suddenly a hoarse voice said.Lupine woke up at last, and neither of them spoke.There was a slight crackling sound in the carriage, and a shivering light appeared.Lupine held the kerosene, and the light from it lit his tired, gray face, but his eyes were watchful and wary.

"Stay where you are and don't move." With the same hoarse voice, he stood up slowly, with the fire in his hands stretched out in front of him.But before he could reach the carriage door, it opened slowly.

Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the flickering light of the fire in Lupin's hand, was a cloaked monster as tall as the ceiling.Its face was completely hidden under the hood, and a hand protruded from the cloak, the hand shimmering, gray and thin and scabbed, as if something had died and soaked in water to rot, the hand It takes less than a second to appear.The monster under the cloak noticed Harry, and the hand suddenly retracted into the folds of the black cloak.

Then the dementor under the hood drew a long, slow, shaky breath, as if trying to suck in something other than air from its surroundings.

They all felt a chill run through their bodies.Harry felt his breath congeal in his chest.The chill pierced through his skin, down to his chest, and into his heart. Harry took out his wand with trembling hands, and he couldn't help but cast a spell. He couldn't see, he was drowned in the cold, his ears were surging, like the impact of water, he was pulled down, the sound in his ears became louder...he heard his own cry, heard Bella's frantic shriek Shout, Sirius!Don't... don't leave me.
