Chapter 344 Everything Is a New Beginning

Remus Lupine rolled up his sleeves, crossed his arms and looked around the office and bedroom where he had stayed for a year, and sighed softly.

He had also heard of the 'curse' in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and originally thought it was just nonsense. However, it wasn't until the battle in the church when he was almost hit by the Death Curse and was seriously injured that he realized that the curse was indeed a bit mysterious. .

But this has nothing to do with me anymore

The huge suitcase was opened and laid flat on the ground, and the peeling and faded corners were carefully wrapped with a piece of brass leather.

This was done by Hermione. After all, the little witch was more careful than other boys. Not only that, he also got a bunch of sugar-free chocolates.

There was an iron bucket on the cabinet at the door, which contained the tea leaves given to him by Zhang, and there was still a lot left.

This kind of tea tastes far better than the cheap tea that Lu Ping bought himself, and he is usually reluctant to drink it.

The extraordinary hat given by Malfoy was hanging on the coat rack. This expensive hat was incompatible with other shabby clothes.

A sweater in Gryffindor colors was neatly folded aside. Ron asked Mrs. Molly to knit it for him.

Lupine liked this sweater very much. It felt very warm on him.

Finally, Lupine's eyes fell on a set of keys, a gift from Sirius and Harry - the keys to a house on Privet Drive.

His good friend and James Potter's child invited him to live together with an almost irresistible enthusiasm.

Lupine still remembers the scene at that time. Sirius held his arm and shouted happily: "What are you still hesitating about? Moony face?"

Think about it, we live together, is there anything happier than this? "

Harry nodded desperately: "Come on, Professor Lupin, let's live together! I really hope to have such a great Defense Against the Dark Arts master like you to guide me."

Want to go? Lupine held the key, a smile appeared on his somewhat pale face.

If Zhang's hometown really had a solution to his problems, he couldn't help but feel longing. This was really a luxurious emotion.

During the long journey, I had almost given up on finding a solution.

Lupine didn't dare to have high hopes, because he was more afraid of the depressing mood when he was disappointed.

He opened the door of the office, and the things he had packed flew up one by one under the influence of magic, and fell neatly into the huge suitcase.

In just a moment, Lupine had packed most of his things.

Grindylow's empty water tank stood next to his old box. The Boggart that was originally in the closet had already hid in the box in advance.

As the legend goes, the boggart will leave with its master, looking forward to the journey ahead.

The patched coat flew over and was placed on his arm. Lupine glanced at the empty office again before walking into the teacher's fireplace.

On this day at the end of term, the fireplace was allowed to be turned on for a short time.

"Diagon Alley!"

The green flames suddenly grew larger. After the flames in the fireplace dissipated, the office was quiet, waiting for its next owner.

As the Hogwarts Express got closer and closer to King's Cross Station, Harry's mood became more and more depressed, and the smile disappeared from his face.

He thought of the Dursleys again, of the lost Dudley, and of Aunt Petunia who seemed like a shell.

Although Zhang had talked to him a lot and patiently tried to persuade him for a long time, Harry still felt an indescribable sadness. This was not just the disappearance of a familiar person.

"Harry, this world is not just made up of right and wrong, good and bad, black and white. If you have to describe it, the world is gray.

The same is true for people. People are the most complicated things in the world. Just like you used to think the Dursleys were bad, but for Dudley, Petunia and Vernon are the best parents in the world.

This is the difference in stance——"

When Zhang Xiao said this, Harry felt that he didn't look like a young wizard of the same age as him at all, but more like - more like an older brother who had graduated a long time ago? Yes, brother!

Just like Bill and Charlie.

"You think Vernon and Petunia are greedy and timid, but they are very brave in the church. Doesn't this contrast represent the complexity of human beings?

There is another problem you mentioned - Aunt Petunia said that the reason why they were not nice to you was because of your frequent magic bursts when you were a child.

Harry, this is only an effect, not a cause. You have no right to choose. If what you say is true, it can only be said that Petunia and Vernon chose the worst way.

In this whole thing, Dumbledore is at fault, Petunia and Vernon are at fault, you are the only one who cannot choose your situation. "

Thinking of this, Harry suddenly asked Zhang Xiao in a low voice, who was leaning against the window and looking out the window:

"Zhang, I-I still feel sad about Uncle Vernon leaving. I don't want him to leave and I don't know how to face Aunt Petunia and Dudley."

Zhang Xiao turned his head and looked at Harry who was embarrassed, and sighed softly:

"Harry, I call your sadness and uneasiness kindness. If you need me to give you a suggestion, try to communicate more with Petunia and Dudido.

Communication is the most important bridge to open your heart. "

In fact, the Vernon family and Harry had shown signs of reconciliation during the summer vacation of their second year. Sirius followed his instructions and gave Vernon a large number of orders.

This is compensation. Sure enough, after receiving the compensation, the attitude of the Vernon family has changed greatly. Harry even said that they are willing to talk to him in a friendly manner.

Zhang Xiao pinched his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the Death Eaters would actually attack the Vernon family.

Harry's family's affairs are actually very complicated. Different conclusions will be drawn from anyone's standpoint. They can only be left to solve it themselves.

It's their family affairs. It's okay to help from the side, but what's the point of getting involved directly?

Malfoy, Hermione, and Ron all shut up. They have no ability to participate in such topics. They can only look at Harry who is lost in thought with worried eyes.

After a while, Harry raised his head, his emerald green eyes were full of determination, and he said seriously:

"Thank you, Zhang-I think I understand it. Don't worry, I will have a good talk with Aunt Petunia and Dudley."

Ah? You figured it out? What did you figure out?

Zhang Xiao was stunned, but he soon reacted and wisely shut up.

He absolutely did not want to get involved in this family's affairs. In his opinion, both the wizarding world and the Vernon family were seriously ill.

"Woo--!"

The Hogwarts Express slowly drove into the platform with a sharp whistle.

The young wizards took their luggage and rushed to their families with joy.

The withered old guards stood in front of the platform as usual, allowing only two or three people to go out at a time.

Many young wizards simply stayed on the platform, excitedly talking to their parents about their school experiences.

Although they could write letters, how could writing letters be as rich and detailed as oral narration?

Especially the young wizards who had experienced the Hogsmeade incident, they only wrote a rough account of their experiences in the letters to their families, and left a sentence without any prior agreement:

"More details will be discussed after we meet."

This moment was the opportunity to talk in detail. Parents shouted in surprise or fear from time to time, but the young wizards did not care at all, and still smiled and regarded this incident as an unforgettable memory.

On the other side, Neville, Alice and Frank stood together, their faces flushed.

Because in front of him, Justin's parents, a couple in suits and ties who looked like successful people, were hugging Neville with tears streaming down their faces.

They cried and thanked him for standing up and saving their children.

It can be seen that Flack and Alice are proud of their children, but also worried about his disregard for their own safety.

Zhang Xiao turned his head to look at Malfoy who was a little confused. This was the first time that Lucius and Narcissa did not come to pick him up.

Although this was Malfoy's own initiative, he thought he was an adult, and Voldemort had returned, and the situation of the Lucius couple was quite dangerous.

According to the information sent by Lucius's "friends", the beautiful Lucius Manor had been razed to the ground by the angry Voldemort.

"Draco, are you still planning to fly to China by yourself?"

"Yeah——" Malfoy nodded, with gratitude and relief in his eyes: "Zhang, Dad said that his business in China is very smooth, and Mr. Zhao has solved a lot of problems for him.

Now Dad doesn't want to come back at all."

Zhang Xiao laughed, this is not surprising.

In the 1990s, foreign businessmen, nearly 1 billion pounds in cash, a few key words added together, that is, buffs are full, and if you operate well, you can even reach the sky!

What's more, the textiles and real estate companies invested by Lucius have made a lot of money and are now considering introducing automobiles. They are all enterprises with great demand for manpower and can provide many jobs.

Not to mention that automobiles, the "crown jewel of modern industry", are the epitome of modern industrial technology and are recognized as one of the most important symbols that can best reflect the country's manufacturing strength.

It would be strange if the country didn't want to be tempted, and with the help of Director Zhao, an insider, it can be regarded as [knowing everything].

To put it in one sentence, Lucius was holding the script that Zhang Xiao originally thought he would use to counterattack after his rebirth.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiao suddenly said:

"Draco, you can go back with Professor Lupin, so that you can have someone to take care of you."

"Professor Lupin? He... is he going to China too?"

"Well, you can ask him about the specific situation. If Professor Lupin is willing to tell you, let's go to Diagon Alley."

When Harry walked out of Platform 9 4/3, he was a little nervous and even felt that no one would come to pick him up. Sirius wanted to come, but Dumbledore and Zhang were right, and they had to face it.

This was a good opportunity, so Sirius would not come, and he could only do the task arranged by Dumbledore.

But when he came to the crowded Muggle platform, he saw Petunia standing in the corner with no expression. She was so lonely and out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Harry took a deep breath and pushed the cart towards Penny. The words he had prepared were forgotten more and more as they got closer.

When he arrived in front of Penny, he had forgotten everything.

"Penny - Auntie -" Harry opened his mouth and greeted her dryly, and then he seemed to be stuck and couldn't say anything.

"Let's go." Penny said dryly.

The two pushed the luggage cart through the crowd with difficulty. Penny looked thinner than ever before, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. She looked very bad.

Harry thought silently, he hoped that Petunia could say something to break the uncomfortable atmosphere, but until they got in the car and put Hedwig in the back seat which Vernon never allowed before.

Petunia still said nothing, the atmosphere was heavy as if it was filled with water - depressing and suffocating.

London was still so congested, Petunia held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, looking straight ahead.

In Harry's impression, Aunt Petunia rarely drove, Vernon always treated her as someone who needed care, and tried his best to take care of her.

Maybe this is not bad, at least there is no need to talk, and no need to worry. Harry pulled the seat belt and thought about it while waiting for the traffic light.

But suddenly, he heard Petunia's hoarse voice:

"If-if you can do it, avenge Vernon!"

Harry turned around in astonishment, and found that Petunia's thin face was covered with tears at some point, and her hands holding the steering wheel were so strong that even the knuckles were white.

Harry felt that his heart was being squeezed hard, and he was a little breathless and uncomfortable.

He was silent for a while, and nodded vigorously:

"Okay!"

Zhang Xiao stood in the VIP waiting room of the airport, handed the box to Lupin, and waved to Malfoy and Lupin:

"Draco, Professor Lupin, I wish you a pleasant journey!

I have already contacted the Chinese side for the specific matters, and someone will arrange it."

Lupin nodded. He was not good at speaking, and he would not say the kind of beautiful words that were from the heart. He just nodded solemnly with gratitude.

Malfoy frowned and asked in confusion:

"Zhang, aren't you going home with us? Your parents won't come either?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head without further explanation. This was the old master's order, telling him not to go back this summer vacation.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear in the aisle of the first-class cabin.

Zhang Xiao stretched his body lazily, and now he was alone.

During the month of the Quidditch World Cup, you have to think carefully about how to spend it.

Or, take this opportunity to take a good tour of Britain?

1. Monthly ticket 2. Recommendation ticket

The fourth grade is the biggest climax of the original book. I have laid a big stall, and there are still many things that need to be laid. Forgive me for the daily connection links~

Then the problem of the church is really just a slice. The church is not a positive role, and of course not a negative role. They all start from their own interests. In fact, there is nothing good or bad.

There will definitely not be a plot where Dudley and Harry become enemies. I will try to give Dudley some highlights and words, but still in the form of slices, so it won't take up too much space.
