The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

The fireplaces at King's Cross Station are poor, badly so.

When he came out from there, Harry's whole body was covered with black ashes, and his disheveled chicken coop head was the hardest hit.

This forced him to quietly take out his wand and cast several cleansing spells on himself.

After finally tidying himself up a bit, Harry noticed some abnormalities.

In the past, King's Cross Station during the daytime was always full of busy traffic.

At night, there may be some homeless people carrying wine bottles who have nothing to do and come to stay overnight.

But in the daytime, this place belongs to the world of office workers, and there are hurried pedestrians everywhere. Walking here, your own pace will be accelerated involuntarily.

But today is different.

At King's Cross station, especially around the Floo fireplace and the entrance to platform nine and three-quarters, Harry found a lot of idle and leisurely figures.

Although these people were all wearing Muggle clothes, they pretended to be on their way.

But the special temperament on them was so conspicuous to Harry.

In particular, Harry also found two very familiar people among them.

The two Aurors, one tall and thin, one fat and short.

The two of them are sent almost every year to maintain the security of King's Cross Station and Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

Harry found them almost every time he came to King's Cross Station.

And in that case, those people dressed like them are also Aurors?

Harry felt a little disbelieving.

Although the Ministry of Magic has been implementing the expansion plan of the Auror force for more than a year, the number of Aurors should not be large enough to send so many people to maintain King's Cross Station, right?

With such doubts in mind, Harry cautiously approached the two tall and short Aurors, and asked in a low voice:

"Gentlemen, have you been sent to stand guard again this year?"

As soon as Harry finished speaking, the two Aurors, one tall and one short, were like cats whose tails had been stepped on, jumping back in fright.

The taller, thinner, more flexible Auror had even reached into his pocket, obviously holding his wand.

Fortunately, they apparently knew Harry too.

"Aha! So it's our savior Harry!"

The tall and thin Auror took out his hand again, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Harry nodded rather awkwardly, he felt that the reaction of the two of them was a little too excited.

This didn't quite fit the elite image of an Auror in his mind.

"I just wanted to ask," said Harry, "how did you send so many people this year?"

"It was discovered by you?"

The chunky Auror said in disbelief.

"Yeah, after all, the two of you are too conspicuous. Through the behavior and appearance of the two of you, it is easy to identify the identities of other people."

Hearing what Harry said, the short and fat Auror and the tall and thin Auror looked at each other, their expressions were extremely ugly.

"You mean you discovered all this through the two of us? It's over, this time we are completely over!"

"That's right, Hilger will definitely kill us!"

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked puzzled, "Who will kill you?"

The tall and thin Auror turned his head pale and said:

"Hilger, our captain. If he knows that our security operation was exposed because of the two of us, he will definitely deduct all our wages... No! More than that, he might Relegate us directly to the Strike Force!"

"When did the Auror Army have this kind of regulation? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Don't say you haven't heard of it. I haven't heard of it three months ago. In fact, this is a new law issued by the Ministry of Magic after the restructuring. The purpose is to eliminate some incompetent Aurors from the Auror army."

When saying this, the tall and thin Auror pointed to himself instinctively.

Obviously, he didn't think he was a good Auror either.

It almost made Harry laugh out loud.

He suppressed a smile and continued to ask:

"Then what are you guys doing here?"

"As before, maintain the safety of King's Cross Station and Platform 9 and Three-quarters. To be honest, I don't know. Maybe our new director is not safe here. Anyway, we are soldiers and obey orders That's it. I've heard some gossip, though. They say..."

"Enough! Stop talking!"

The chunky Auror interrupted with an ugly expression, "Harry Potter, hurry up to platform nine and three quarters! You must have delayed us too much time! If this continues, we will really be screwed by you." Off to the Strikers!"

While talking, the chunky Auror directly pushed Harry into the wall, and by the time Harry realized it, he was already in the busier platform Nine and Three Quarters.

This made him frown fiercely.

He instinctively felt that something big might have happened.

After all, it is Link, Percy and others who are in charge of the Ministry of Magic now.

Fudge and his fellows from the old Ministry of Magic might even do some weird and unreasonable operations.

But not Link and Percy!

They suddenly sent so many people to King's Cross, there must be a reason for them!

With such doubts in mind, Harry squeezed onto the train, found a box at random and sat down, then rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought while staring at the chaotic crowd in front of him.

"Well--"

Accompanied by a long whistle, the train began to accelerate gradually.

The carriage kept swaying, but Harry still couldn't interrupt his train of thought.

He felt that he needed to figure out the reason here.

Unfortunately, this state of his didn't last long after all.

Because soon two guys in doll costumes, dressed as Himalayan snowmen, approached him, and handed him a basket of candies with exaggerated clown smiling faces on them, and said sullenly:

"Hey bro, want to try it out? The latest masterpiece from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, the Laughing Candy, will keep you giggling all day long!"

Harry, who was in deep thought, didn't want to talk to these two guys who were obviously salesmen, and instinctively waved his hand to signal them to leave.

But the 'Snowman' didn't push back, and directly took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into his hand, saying:

"Come on, let's try it! Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is now in the grand opening ceremony, Hogwarts students can get a 20% discount on purchases! Not only that, as a Hogwarts supporting enterprise, we are in Hogwarts City There are also workshops in the castle. If you want to order, you only need to go to the Weasley Workshop on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle! We will conduct factory direct sales activities there, and we can get another 20% off on the basis of the original 20% off ! Rounding it up is just crazy money!"

Interrupted by the 'Yeti' like this, Harry's disconnected thoughts could no longer be connected.

He threw the candy back into the 'Snowman''s basket with some disgust, and echoed:

"Compared to the discount you gave me, I actually have a better discount plan here. Do you know what it is?"

The two 'snowmen' looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

And Harry sneered and said:

"That is, if you don't buy, you will save 100%!"

"puff--"

Another 'Snowman' laughed outright.

And hearing this voice, Harry froze immediately.

Because of this laughter, he felt very familiar.

It seems... Hermione?

He suddenly turned his head and looked at a 'snowman' next to him.

Thinking back to what the other party said just now, he suddenly realized that Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is not the shop opened by George and Fred?

Which means...

"Ron?"

Harry said tentatively.

It was said that the two 'snowmen' took off their hoods together, and it turned out to be Hermione and Ron.

"Harry, what you just said must not be spread, otherwise, no one will buy our products!"

Ron complained, but there was a big smile on his face.

Harry laughed when he heard the words, hugged Ron and Hermione and said:

"My God, why are you dressed like this? Is this promoting George and Fred?"

"Of course, we are brothers!"

Ron patted his chest and said, but Hermione beside the words sarcastically said:

"I've never heard of a fee for helping out."

She said to Harry again, "Actually, Ron just became a salesman at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. He helped George and Fred buy things and collected a share at the same time."

Ron's face flushed a little, and he stared at Hermione and said:

"You still have the face to accuse me? Aren't you doing the same thing?"

"I'm not like you?" Hermione said, crossing her arms and throwing her head back. "I'm helping George and Fred for free as a friend!"

"Ha! Do you think you are noble? With the characters of George and Fred, they will only treat you as a free tool!"

"A tool man is a tool man, so what? As a friend, I feel very happy to help George and Fred, and that's enough."

Hermione shook her head and said, after talking, she and Ron looked at Harry in unison.

Speaking of helping and cheering.

Neither of them combined could compare to Harry.

I remember that on the day Weasley's Wizard Wheezes opened, Harry bought almost all the items in the store.

This moved George and Fred so much (joyfully), they announced on the spot that Harry was their best friend in life, bar none.

Such a local tyrant's behavior is simply inhumane!

However, this is also normal.

After all, Harry had inherited a large fortune.

In addition, Sirius Black also gave Harry the right to inherit the property of the Black family.

Although the Black family's property had already been divided up by members of the Wizengamot Council, none of it was left to Sirius.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the only remaining savings of the Black family is still an astronomical sum in the eyes of ordinary people.

So it can be said that the current Harry is a standard platinum rich second generation!

Richer than Malfoy!

The kind that is only one class behind Link!

Harry was a little scared by them, and said with some embarrassment:

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like this, can I buy it? I bought all these candies, so don't be busy running around selling things, sit down and rest for a while."

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Mimi Reading! It’s really easy to use. I use this to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here 】

It really is a local tyrant!

Hermione and Ron couldn't help thinking in their hearts.

But he waved his hand and said:

"No, Harry. Although I, Ron, like to be petty and cheap, I'm far from killing acquaintances to make money."

"Ron still has some integrity. As for me, I am helping out for free. It doesn't matter whether I sell things or not."

While talking, the two took off their puppet costumes and sat beside Harry.

"Have you heard?"

As soon as he sat down, Ron said enthusiastically, "Fleur's younger sister, Gabriel, has transferred from another school!"

"Fleur?"

Harry couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

He was very impressed with that Beauxbaton warrior. No, every man would be impressed with him after seeing a real person with his own eyes. She was definitely a girl with full charm.

Seeing this, Hermione curled her lips.

Her perception of Fleur was the complete opposite of Harry Ron's.

Although I can't say I hate it, I definitely can't say I like it.

"That's right, it's not just Gabriel, Furong's family has also come to China. Currently, Furong's father is working as an interpreter at Gringotts, and Furong herself is working as a clerk at the International Magic Trade Standards Association. My father I saw her when I was doing business in the past."

Ron danced and said, "My father said that Fleur immigrated to the country through Link and entered the Ministry of Magic. She is now learning the language. When she is more proficient in the language, she will be able to officially join the International Magic Trade Standards Association." Joined the job. It's a good place, the salary is very high!"

Harry nodded, then shook his head again and said:

"But I still don't understand, why did they come to the country? And the whole family came?"

As soon as this remark came out, both Hermione and Ron looked at Harry with strange eyes.

It was a while before Hermione said:

"Don't you know? Beauxbatons was attacked by terror not long ago. Not only did most of the buildings in the school collapse, but even many students died. Now the sky is upside down."

Ron continued:

"Who would want to study in such an unsafe school? I guess they must be afraid to come to Hogwarts. After all, there is no better wizarding school than Hogwarts in this world! We not only have Dumbledore, but also Link!"

Hermione nodded, agreeing with Ron very rarely.

As long as Link and Dumbledore are around, they are not afraid of any difficulties!

Harry, on the other hand, was silent.

Things with the Fleur family are like the last piece of the puzzle.

Completed the thoughts in his mind.

So, it was because Beauxbaton suffered a terrorist attack.

This made the Ministry of Magic increase the security force at King's Cross Station?

This is quite reasonable.

Just, does it really work?

For some reason, Harry always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Pa-ta--"

While Harry was thinking, the door of the carriage opened again.

A third-grade girl walked in, out of breath.

"I've come to give these to Harry...Potter."

As she stammered, she handed over a roll of parchment tied with a purple ribbon.

His face flushed with embarrassment as soon as his eyes made contact with Harry.

Then he stumbled out of the car.

"what?"

Ron asked curiously, and he and Hermione all leaned over.

"It should be an invitation."

As Harry spoke, he undid the purple ribbon.

The parchment unfolded, accompanied by a burst of lavender chess, and it was clearly written on it:

Mr. Harry Potter:

I would be very happy if you could have lunch with me in carriage C.

your faithful

Professor H.E.F. Slughorn

"Who is Professor Slughorn?"

Harry looked at the invitation in bewilderment and said.

Hermione and Ron Qiqi shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know either.

And at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"This is a new professor," Neville said, leaning on the door frame of the carriage. "My grandma mentioned him, saying that he was the Potions professor who taught my parents before. He should be hired back by Dumbledore this time." Go on as Potions professor."

"What? Potions professor? Isn't our Potions professor Snape? Could it be that Dumbledore finally discovered that guy's wolf ambition and fired him?"

Ron said happily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he froze.

Because he found that the Neville who appeared in front of him at this moment has changed a lot compared to before.

He has lost a lot of weight.

This is not the kind of weak emaciation, but more like a shapely and strong body after fitness.

Not only that, but Neville's aura is completely different from usual now.

Appears confident and sunny, and the whole person looks extremely energetic.

Even if he mentions his grandma like together, it will no longer give people a submissive feeling.

This sudden change made Harry and the others speechless for a moment.

But Neville shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Unfortunately, your wish has come to nothing. Professor Snape is indeed no longer a Potions professor. But after discussing it with Link, Dumbledore gave him a new job—Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"How is this possible? Snape has been unsuccessful in his application to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for several years in a row. Everyone at Hogwarts knows that he must have an unknown conspiracy! Dumbledore, he... oh no! It must be Link! He has a great relationship with Snape, and Snape must have begged Link! Damn, this is too bad!"

Harry whimpered, shaking his head.

Given his bad relationship with Snape, seeing Snape get his wish was even more painful than Harry's Nimbus 2000 being destroyed!

"Anyway, let's hurry there first. Professor Slughorn is a very respectable man, and we can't keep him waiting."

While talking, Neville said goodbye to Ron and Hermione first, and then pulled Harry out of the carriage.

The two walked straight towards the rear of the car. Harry was still complaining non-stop along the way. When he was about to approach the carriage C mentioned in the invitation letter, Harry calmed down and looked at Nanny with a strange expression on his face. Wei said:

"However, having said that, Neville, you have really changed a lot! What happened in the past two months? Why do you look... as if you have changed?"

Hearing that Neville's footsteps paused slightly, he turned around and said with a smile:

"It's all thanks to Link, who gave me the chance to take revenge! After I ended Bellatrix's life with my own hands that day, I went to meet my parents, and I hugged them, Weeping and shouting non-stop. I told them that I have finally avenged you. The demon that has been haunting our hearts for more than ten years has been killed by me! Completely killed!

And since then, I have felt reborn! "

Neville stretched out his hand, raised it to his chest, and clenched it tightly. The force he used was as if he was crushing something, "I feel that my whole body is full of strength, Harry, you can understand that kind of thing. Do you feel it? The whole person has a new look! I decided to change myself, and only by becoming better can I repay Hogwarts and Link!"

"Return...return?"

Harry stammered, "I don't think you need to do this. Link did that at the time, maybe...maybe he didn't want you to repay him. It's just..."

Neville interrupted with a wave:

"No, Harry, it's definitely not like that! Link may indeed have never thought of asking for something in return from me, but as the heir of the Longbottom family, as a man, I must never act as if nothing happened! This is what my grandma taught me! It is also my credo in life!"

Neville's words were powerful and decisive.

The firm momentum coming from the pavement made Harry slightly startled, he opened and closed his mouth several times before saying:

"Then... well, I sincerely wish you success."

Hearing that Neville also had a smile on his face.

He rubbed his red palms from too much force, as if he wanted to say something.

But the door of the carriage not far from them was suddenly opened.

John's impatient face poked out from the door.

"Who is yelling at the door? It's so noisy, and it's not... oh! So it's you, Harry, and Neville." John, who saw the person coming, smiled slightly, sideways out of the passage and said , "Have you also received the invitation?"

"John, just because you're here means... Link is also in there?"

Neville said in disbelief.

Everyone in Hogwarts is aware of Link's close relationship with John.

The two of them have been inseparable since a long time ago.

Generally speaking, wherever Link is, John must be there.

Between the two, it is unclear whether Link likes to follow John or John likes to follow Link.

John's reaction to Neville was not mean, he said with a chuckle:

"Of course, come in quickly, don't stand around the door!"

Harry smiled and nodded, just about to take a step, but found that Neville had rushed into the carriage at the speed of a 100-meter race.

That speed startled John.

"Oh! Link! It's so nice to see you again, it's been so long since we've seen each other! Thank you! Thank you! Damn, I'm on the verge of crying!"

Hearing Neville's excited shouts inside, John and Harry looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.
