On the other side of the crossroads, close to Voldemort, Harry Potter and his godfather, Sirius Black, were shopping for some of the necessities added at the start of the new term, such as some of the new term textbooks.

He has grown taller and needs a new robe.

All the dementors in the UK are controlled by Malfoy because of food and contracts, and they stay quietly in the dark to "suck people", so Umbridge has no spare men to attack Privet Drive, and there is no Necessary, she is now at the pinnacle of her power, and she doesn't have to please her boss. The original trajectory has changed. At that time, the reason why she attacked Harry was because the boy was promoting "false" information, which made people panic and was not good for her boss.

She needed to flatter and compliment them back then.

But now, many people, including herself, have accepted the fact that Voldemort has returned, and it is through this that she takes the opportunity to take the position.

Her succession was even partly for this reason.

Many people do not want the current situation to continue to be turbulent. It is difficult for a wizarding society to resist Voldemort in a politically unstable society.

The political direction, from the moment Fudge stepped down, has undergone tremendous changes that no one could have predicted.

As a result, the savior classmate had a smooth summer vacation.

From time to time, Sirius Black would visit the Dursleys, and then dangled the moving wanted warrant before their eyes.

At that time, he was full of beards and lacked care, and laughed frantically in the newspaper, which was very deterrent.

Real people are always more deterrent than other dead evidence.

When the living "wanted criminals" and "murderers" stood in front of them, the expressions of Uncle Vernon's family were quite wonderful.

Especially "terrorists" who have mastered magic.

It also made Harry's holiday quite enjoyable.

It's just that due to Dumbledore's request, he couldn't take Harry too far, and he couldn't travel far. He also needed to rely on the protection magic of the family's blood relationship to avoid Voldemort's possible killing.

But in general, his vacation was quite enjoyable, and Dudley didn't dare to bully him at all.

The bonus of a thousand gold Galleons made him no longer have to worry about spending.

Although Sirius was quite rich and would never be stingy with him and Harry, Harry felt that his own money was better spent.

The only downside is that the intensity of his headaches has continued unabated, with increasing frequency and intensity.

Many ordinary midnights, he would wake up from the dream, sweat profusely, the sweat often soaked into the back of the pajamas, and his eyes would see many strange scenes, most of the time surrounded by dark stone walls, and water droplets It stopped in the crevices and dripped, making a ticking sound.

He was obviously short-sighted, and he didn't wear glasses when he slept, but those scenes flashed very clearly in his eyes, as if he was there.

Occasionally, a thick and long giant python was lying on a black stone. Most of the time, it closed its eyes for a nap, and then suddenly opened its cruel snake eyes, twisted its body swiftly, and preyed on some innocent insects and ants. Not just gliding slowly on the ground.

Harry even felt a little empathy, as if he was the snake, with a thirst for blood, a desire to bite, a desire to destroy, and a desire for all cruel and bloodthirsty deeds, as if that was the nature engraved in his blood.

That was where Voldemort used to live before, sleeping in the wild, or not in the wild, just some desolate caves.

And in the middle of the vacation, the place he dreamed suddenly changed again.

It was a more luxurious and elegant room. There was a delicate little bed in the corner, with a dark green gauze hanging in it, a few mahogany seats in the middle of the room, and an exquisite lamp on the table. Magic table lamp, the lampshade is made of unknown material, even if it is not lit, it still emits a faint white light, with some grain-like lines, and the bottom half is a polished base.

As for a gorgeous bookcase in the other corner, it is not so much a bookcase as it is an ornament, which is equally extravagant and extremely luxurious.

There are some ancient magic props everywhere, a clock made of pure gold hangs on one wall, surrounded by abstract and esoteric portraits, simple and elegant silverware is placed in the empty space between the bookcases, and a few lines are carved on the other wall. The thick and long black giant pythons are intertwined, and their fangs are ferociously exposed, as if they will jump out of the painting at all times.

If he had been a guest at Malfoy's house, he would have known that it was a secret room in Malfoy's manor, often used to entertain the most dignified people.

Today, it was even more unusual. He woke up during his nap, and the scene in his mind was actually the familiar Diagon Alley.

This gave him an urge to rush here immediately.

Just as school was about to start, he and his godfather came here.

Before that, Hedwig was used to send a letter, and Hermione and Ron were invited to meet them here.

They can enjoy the last days of their vacation to the fullest as the school year begins.

Without the trial about the Dementors, it would be impossible to go to the Order of the Phoenix, not to mention that the base should have also changed, the Black family's mansion, the owner has also changed at this time, it is impossible to choose there as a base.

"Harry!" Harry suddenly heard someone calling him, and it was a familiar voice. It turned out that Ron was waving at him at the other end of the intersection and shouting loudly.

A holiday has passed, and both of them have grown a lot taller.

"Long time no see, I want you to come to my house earlier. My mother talks about you every day." Ron ran over quickly, the two hugged tightly, and then he said helplessly.

Harry immediately thought of Mrs. Weasley's kind and kind face. During the Goblet of Fire last year, she was a family member to watch her games. In previous years, she also took great care of herself and regarded herself as her. Treated like a son.

At this time Ron's eyes turned.

"Hello, Sirius!" Ron's tone was light, he waved his hand, and said hello to Sirius. He looks very confident now, and the prefect's halo has greatly improved his confidence.

Neither of his two mischievous twin brothers had been prefects.

Sirius nodded, and a smile appeared on that expressionless face: "Hello, Ron."

"By the way, I'm going to be a prefect, you see, Harry." Ron handed Harry the prefect appointment letter he got, with a bit of show-off, which is normal.

"Congratulations." Harry took the envelope, glanced at it, and then looked at the gold and red-edged badge that Ron had just bought, and said with some envy, but he didn't know why he didn't get this position.

He thinks his performance over the years should be pretty good.

Maybe the grades in Potions were so bad? He thought so.

Only for this reason.

Snape's gloomy sallow face, and his hatred eyes that were almost deep into his bones, appeared in his mind again.

That potions teacher likes to target him the most, no, not just, it's torture.

But then again, Ron is not much stronger than him?

Snape hated him, and of course he didn't look good on the people around him, or rather, he had a sense of hatred for the whole of Gryffindor, and Ron was often implicated.

And what about Hermione? Ron is a prefect, so should she be?

Harry thought silently.

Her grades were impeccable. He and Ron could handle many of the troublesome classes with Hermione easily. Compared to passing the test, Hermione's pursuit was excellent and even perfect.

There was a trace of jealousy in his heart, but it disappeared quickly.

"Hi! Harry, Ron, oh, and Sirius?" A brisk female voice volunteered to join their conversation.

They turned their heads and saw a girl standing behind them and tapped Harry on the shoulder.

The girl is Hermione. She wore a blue and white square-neck plaid shirt and a black polka-dot skirt today. The usual neutral and capable style has been restrained, and she has turned to be playful and casual. style, casual and concise.

In a few days, everyone will have to put on the standard clothes, and she can enjoy the last freedom.

There was also some greenness on her face, and those eyes were more energetic. Maybe, when she learned Occlumency, it would help to understand herself and become mature.

She also grew a little taller, but the only thing that didn't change was her curly curly hair that was still somewhat messy.

"It looks like everyone is here, how about a drink?" Sirius glanced at Hermione, nodded, and finally suggested.

"Of course, students should drink less, preferably not alcohol," Black added.

So the group started heading to a nearby bar.

The nearest bar is the Leaky Cauldron, which is an untidy bar, cramped and cramped, but the drinks are good, which is why many people are willing to stay here.

The group of four pushed open the old wooden door and walked in.

There is no light here, it looks a bit dark, and some are just dim candlelight.

The smell of alcohol and the body odor of the drinker were intertwined. The waiter carried the plate and quickly shuttled between the tables. They found a table that could barely be called neat and sat down.

As always, they exchanged their vacation stories, and Ron happily raised his glass after hearing Sirius' deterrent to the Vernons.

"This is really a good celebration." He said happily, raising his glass

"...Just...how is that mysterious man now?" After clinking glasses, Ron seemed to suddenly think of something and asked in a low voice.

"This is not something you should be concerned about." Sirius frowned.

He was impressed by what happened last school year, when his godson was nearly killed in the Goblet of Fire.

"Everything has to be solved by adults, this is not something you should worry about." He still subconsciously hoped that they could avoid these dangerous things.

"Malfoy is so hateful! If it wasn't for him, that person wouldn't be resurrected at all." Ron slapped the dirty table below, making his hands greasy, and then shook his hands in disgust. , looked embarrassed.

"Whirlwind!" Hermione glanced at Ron in disgust, raised her wrist slightly, and waved her wand to help him solve this trouble.

"I really doubt you're a wizard," said Hermione regretfully.

"By the way, Harry, have you had a headache recently?" Hermione pretended to glance at Harry's scar unintentionally, and then asked naturally.

"Yes, how is the scar recently." Sirius then remembered the pain of the scar not long ago, and hurriedly asked.

Although he cared about Harry very much, he was not as meticulous as women after all.

"It's a little bit, and it's getting more and more frequent recently." Harry touched his scar, recalling his dream at noon today.

"The principal did not judge wrong." Hermione thought.

Hermione decided to go to school and tell Harry about the seriousness of the matter. He and Voldemort's minds can communicate and must maintain a high degree of vigilance.

From the information Dumbledore revealed, it is very likely that he will not be at school for a long time.

And that appointment cannot be refused.

Because of the reasons given by the Ministry of Magic, it seems high-sounding. For the safety of the entire wizarding community, I temporarily resigned. After the solution is resolved, I will take up my post again.

This even succeeded in persuading the vast majority of school managers.

Politics is an art of compromise, and even Dumbledore is distracted by rules and regulations.

These are the news that Dumbledore revealed to Hermione in advance, and it will be realized after the new term begins.

"What will the future be like?" Hermione thought slightly gloomily, worrying about the not optimistic prospect of the future.

She tried to learn some Occlumency, and only got a little bit of access, but at this level, how could she be Harry's teacher?

Hermione's thoughts kept drifting away.

And Malfoy, where is he now? Are you still on the run?

Did he really turn to Voldemort?

Why didn't Professor Dumbledore stop him then?

At that time, almost everyone in the auditorium panicked, and all their attention was focused on Malfoy who was holding the hostage, and even she fell into a momentary absence at that moment.

However, why does this state of mind feel inexplicably familiar, as if all this has been seen before?

Hermione didn't know why she felt this way.

While everyone was focusing on the kidnappers and hostages, she turned to Dumbledore.

When the hostage is being held, other people's emotions can be worried and angry, but these emotions are almost invisible in Dumbledore's eyes.

Maybe he was trying to reassure others.

But Hermione preferred to trust her own judgment.

The old man was very determined.

In his office that day, the ambiguous answer made the truth even more confusing.

She didn't believe the principal would be so irresponsible. Free reader!!
