Harry sniffed, embarrassed by his own gaffe. He let go of the black dog and said hoarsely,""Thank you for accompanying me. I'm leaving. You should go home too.”
He picked up his suitcase and Hedwig, who was looking at him pitifully, and prepared to leave. Harry looked back at the black dog, which had followed him for a short distance.”
The black dog whimpered twice and rubbed against his feet.
" Then you'll follow me from now on." Harry squatted down, and his expression suddenly became a little distressed." But Hogwarts only allows students to bring one pet.”
The black dog wagged its tail and looked at him pitifully.
Harry thought for a moment."Oh, Ginny doesn't have a pet yet, I can ask her to take you back to school." But…"
He sized up the dirty big black dog." Girls don't like you like this. Let me help you clean it up."”
He led the black dog to the pool and gave it a good wash. Harry mopped her up with a towel and nagged at her,"Why are you so thin? I have to raise you to be strong. I can't let others think that I'm abusing you. Ah, I still have to give you a name. How about Avery? You look like a naughty guy to me.”
The black dog looked at him helplessly and dotingly, allowing him to rub his fur into a mess.
Harry looked with satisfaction at the clean and fresh dog. Hmm, it seems a little big. It's not easy to carry. How about this…"
He took out a beautiful collar with runes engraved on the back and put it on. He watched as it suddenly shrunk into a small and cute white Samoyed.
Harry patted the dull-eyed dog with satisfaction. Dumbledore would never have recognized Sirius's dog even if he were standing right in front of it.
"Look, Ginny's going to love this.”
Avery looked at him in disbelief. Harry winked at him." Don't worry, it's just a little magic. If you don't like this image, you can change it to something else in the future. Then, am I very powerful?"
It was probably because he could not accept the fact that the Animagus, a wizard, could transform at will. The shock in Avery's eyes took a long time to subside.
Harry scribbled a note and tied it to Hedwig's foot."Hedwig, take this to the Leaky Cauldron, I'll be there soon.”
Watching Hedwig fly away, he led Avery to the side of the road and held out his wand.
A three-story, bright purple bus appeared in front of him. The driver slammed on the brakes. It screeched. The huge headlights lit up the road, and a few golden words flashed on the windshield: Knight bus.
A wizard in a purple uniform jumped down." Welcome to the Knight Bus, an emergency passenger service for witches or wizards in distress. Just stick out your wand and step onto the carriage, and we'll take you wherever you want to go. My name is Stan? I'll be your conductor tonight, Shunpike.”
Harry stared at the enormous thing in front of him, which didn't look very safe.”
"Eleven Sickles," said Shunpike cheerfully."If you pay fourteen, you get chocolate, and if you pay fifteen, you get a thermos and a toothbrush of your choice.”
Harry pulled a small handful of silver sickles out of his pocket and handed them to him. He dragged his suitcase into the car, and Avery followed. "Hey, buddy, you're a great dog," said Shunpike, closing the door behind him. By the way, what's your name?"
"Harry, Harry? Evans."
He lied without changing his expression. He found a copper-framed bed at the back of the car and stuffed the suitcase under the bed. Avery looked at him in amusement, jumped onto the bed, and rolled twice under the blanket. Soon, he fell asleep.
" Hah, isn't that the same name as our little hero?" Evans? There's also a Mr. Evans on it. Is he your elder?”
A middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes walked down the small wooden stairs with a glass of water in his hand." Excuse me, can I have a glass of water?"”
"Ah, I'm coming. Mr. Evans, there's a young Mr. Evans here. Is he your relative?”said Shunpike cheerfully as he walked toward him with a thermos.
The man smiled at Harry."No, I don't have any relatives in England.”
"Oh, that's too much of a coincidence." After pouring him a glass of water, Shunpike returned to the armchair beside the driver and continued to doze off.
Harry sat on the bed and looked at him curiously.”
"Hello, Harry. I am Lan Ying, Lan Ying? Evans."
Lan Ying sat on the empty copper bed opposite him. When she saw his slightly red and swollen eyes, she frowned slightly.
"Mr. Evans…"
"Don't you think that's like calling your own name? Call me Lan Ying."
"Lan Ying, you said you don't have any relatives in England. Aren't you English?”
"Yes, I am. I've been traveling all over the world, but this is my first time in England.”
"You're a traveler? So cool."
“……”
The bus sped through the night at an astonishing speed. Houses, trees, telephone booths, and other things it encountered all jumped to the side, forcefully opening a path for it to pass through. The violently shaking carriage was not comfortable, and the Magi who got off the carriage looked relieved.
A few hours later, the car came to a sudden stop in front of an unremarkable bar. Sang Parker yawned as he stood up and said to the two people who were still chatting at the back of the car,""Gentlemen, we have arrived at the Leaky Cauldron."
"Thank you." Harry told Shunpike.
Carrying Ai Fuli, who was sleeping soundly, the two of them carried their suitcases and got out of the car. The car made a loud noise and soon disappeared.
Harry pushed open the door of the bar. It was empty inside. A hunchbacked old man quickly came up to him, looking at him with worry and anger." Harry, how can you come here alone at this time?”
"But... I've got nowhere else to go..."
"Well, Tom, you can rest assured that Harry's all right.”A short, fat man with disheveled gray hair and a lime green bowler hat came up to him. He looked a little funny. He said coldly to Tom," Find us a place where we can talk. I need to talk to this child."”
"With me?" Harry looked at him strangely and said hesitantly,"I don't think I know you.”
"I'm Cornelius? Fudge, Minister of Magic, you may have heard of me.”Fudge smiled kindly at Harry.
Harry looked at him in horror, and the blue shadow stood in front of him and said to Fudge,"Mr. Minister, Harry's very tired, can't we wait until he's rested?”
Fudge looked at the exquisite workmanship of his wizard robe and the elegant elegance in his movements. He said to him very politely,"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of his time. Come with me, then, Harry."
Harry tugged at the blue figure's sleeve, handed him Avery, and turned to Fudge."Yes, sir."
Tom led Harry and Fudge through a narrow corridor into a small, ornate drawing room. He lit the fire on the fireplace, bowed to Fudge, gave Harry a look of "don't worry" and left.
"Sit down." said Fudge, pointing at a chair.
Harry sat nervously across from him as Fudge poured tea and said,"Harry, it was very rude of you to run away from your aunt's like that. You messed up all our plans.”
" But don't worry," he said with a smile." We've taken care of the accident. Your aunt's memory has been altered. She won't remember that. Your aunt and uncle are very angry, but they've promised you'll be able to go back next summer, as long as you stay at Hogwarts for Christmas.”
Harry looked down at Fudge and said gloomily,"But... Ministry of Magic laws restrict underage magic. Am I going to be sent to Azkaban?"”
"Oh, Harry," said Fudge, amused,"don't worry, it's no big deal, we're not going to send people there for something as trivial as that. Besides, you didn't use a wand, did you? It was just an accident of magic loss. To tell you the truth, Pisgood-the staff who erased your aunt's memory-recorded the cause of the incident in detail in the report to the incident reversal team. It was not your fault, child. No one could remain calm in that situation.”
Harry breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile."Thank you for your understanding, Minister.”
Fudge looked at him with a strange mixture of pity, cleared his throat, and said as gently as he could,"So, Harry, can you promise me that you'll stay in Diagon Alley for the rest of the holidays and not go to the Muggle world? You know, for a young wizard your age, that's very dangerous.”
Harry looked at him, slightly puzzled. Then can I go to my classmate's house to play?"
"Classmate?"
"Er, Neville? Longbottom, my roommate at Hogwarts, I promised to visit him over the summer.”
Looking at his green eyes that were filled with hope and pleading, Fudge nodded." Of course, you can use Floo Powder to go directly to Longbottom's house.”With that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and put on his hat." Well, I think you should go and eat something. I believe Tom has prepared it for you. I have a lot of things to do, you should know.”
Harry stood up, bowed slightly, and said embarrassedly,"Thank you. I'm sorry for the trouble.”
"It's okay. Have a good rest.”Fudge shook his hand and left the living room. --
