Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 451 The Burrow
Harry rolled off the Knights Bus. In order to meet their request to reach St. Catchpole Village before dinner, the Knights Bus driver, Mr. Ern Pullan, drove all the way, and Stan Sampak even drove several passengers halfway. It was 'let' down from the window just to satisfy Harry's needs.

"Goodbye, Mr. Potter!"

The acne-covered conductor stretched his head out from the window, waved to Harry eagerly, and disappeared into the air with a rustle.

"No way!" Harry, who was bending over and panting constantly, said with difficulty to the departed Stan Sampak, "This is definitely the last time in my life to ride the Knight Bus!"

"Don't speak too soon, young man—"

The feeling of Apparition is not much better than that of the bus dedicated to wizards. Sirius and Remus are not as embarrassed as Harry. Hearing Harry's complaint, Sirius stepped forward and put his hand on Harry's shoulder, said with a smile.

When Harry found that he could breathe smoothly again, he found that the three of them were standing on a country road. The left side of the road led to a village. The surrounding land was farmland and swampland. The building was not too high. The mountain stands in the direction where the sun sets.

The right side of the path leads to a crooked several-story building, which is the home of his best friend in Hogwarts, Ron. It is also his second favorite place in the world, despite taking the Knight Bus. It still left Harry with lingering fear. When he saw the skewed silhouette of the tower in the pink-gold sunlight, Harry's mood immediately became high again.Ron also had Mrs. Weasley here, who cooked better than anyone he knew.

"Come on, Harry"

Remus put his hand on Harry's other shoulder. The sunset made his pale skin look normal. He smiled at Harry and said,

"Your friends are dying to see you—"

"Speak up,"

Harry released Hedwig from the cage and let it blow in the wilderness. Immediately, they walked towards the Burrow together. Harry asked curiously
"Sirius, Remus, how did you know the Weasleys?"

"Oh, this -"

With the intoxicating evening wind on his cheeks, Sirius narrowed his eyes lazily and smiled,

"We've been dealing with Arthur and Molly much longer than you, Harry, haven't you, Remus?"

"That was probably before you were born." Remus tightened the collar of his wizard robe, and this action made Harry realize that Professor Remus was actually wearing a brand new wizard robe. When he was at Hogwarts, he always wore a robe that was washed white and patched. Many people in Slytherin made fun of him because of this.

"At that time, Voldemort hadn't fallen. You know, Harry. At that time, there were not many people who had the courage to stand up to the most evil dark wizard in the world. Albus tried his best to gather the strength of these people. I And Sirius, and, of course, your parents, who knew Arthur and Molly back then."

"But Molly hasn't been very fond of me--"

It must have rained not long ago near Stoat Mountain. Although the ground was dry, it was not full of small puddles. Sirius jumped over a puddle nimbly and said with a smile.

"That's because some of the ideas you put forward are always too radical, and Molly doesn't like proposals that are too risky," Remus said cheerfully, "Also, you always like to take Arthur's hair that is getting thinner every day. joke."

Harry burst out laughing, he had never expected his godfather to be so naughty in his youth.

"Harry!"

When the three of them climbed over a slope, the Burrow suddenly became very close. Two people were standing in front of the small stone house where the Weasley family kept their brooms, staring eagerly at this side.

Both of them were running towards him, but the girl was obviously much faster and her movements were much sharper.Before Ron had run a certain distance, Hermione had already rushed to him.

"How are you, Harry!"

Hermione hugged Harry hard, and when she let go, her face was full of joy and excitement.

Just like himself, Hermione was a lot taller than last semester, which made her look much taller. Moreover, Harry was surprised to find that pink pimples began to appear on Hermione's fair cheeks. Stung.

"Hermione?"

After putting aside the boring discoveries in his mind, Harry grinned and said unexpectedly,
"Why are you here, the World Cup is still a few days away?"

Before the end of last semester, the three of them made an appointment to watch the World Cup together. They agreed to meet at the Burrow, but there are still a few days before the World Cup finals. How did Hermione appear here.

"It's Black. Oh, it's Sirius!"

After running for a while, Hermione's breathing was not disturbed at all, which let Harry know that Hermione probably didn't forget Professor Brian's instructions during the summer vacation, and still insisted on running. After the summer vacation, I completely forgot about it.
"He wrote me a letter and said you must hope I can come and celebrate your birthday with you!"

Harry immediately turned his head to look at the surprised Sirius, and saw a face with a kind smile.
"You have to have a decent birthday, right?"

Sirius rubbed Harry's head and said softly.

"call"

Ron finally came over at this moment, his red cheeks were dripping with sweat and he was out of breath.

"Phew - now I finally see the value of Professor Blaine's gym class, Hermione, you run really fast, oh brother, how are you these days, Muggles still treat you -"

Before Ron could finish his words, he was interrupted by Harry's nervous coughing. He helped the Dursleys smooth things over in front of Sirius, but he didn't want the truth to be revealed in Ron's unintentional words.

"It's always been good, hasn't it?"

Harry said eagerly.

It could be seen from the thick white smoke coming out of the chimney on the roof that Mrs. Weasley was probably very busy at the moment.After Hermione and Ron both greeted Sirius and Remus, the group of them walked towards the Burrow.

"Hello, Crookshanks—"

When passing the Weasley family's vegetable garden, Harry waved his hand at the big ginger cat jumping up and down in the garden to compete with goblins, and Crookshanks meowed lazily twice after seeing Harry, and also He waved his paw at Harry.

"Honestly, Hermione—"

Harry said seriously, "You should check to see if Crookshanks is also an Animagus. He's less cat-like than any cat I've ever seen."

"At least it's really good at catching mice," Sirius said with a smile. "During the period before Christmas last year, I lived on the mice it caught."

Ron pushed open the back door of his house and ushered Harry and the others in.Breathing the smoke and smoke in the small crowded room, a sense of reassuring comfort lingers in my heart.

"Oh dear, is the journey going well?"

When walking through the living room, Harry glanced at the magic clock hanging on the wall. Except for Mr. Weasley's one which also pointed to the 'work' position, the other eight all pointed to the 'home' position. Harry blinked Blinking her eyes, feeling strange about something, Mrs. Weasley, who heard the movement in the kitchen, rushed out grabbing a smoking spatula, quickly came to Harry, and gave it like Hermione. He hugged him hard.

"Ahem, everything is fine, Mrs. Weasley!"

Harry gasped.

"What a good boy!"

Mrs. Weasley cupped Harry's cheek (Ron rolled his eyes, while Hermione pursed her lips and snickered), with a benevolent look on her face,
"I originally planned to ask Arthur to pick you up, but the Ministry is too busy at this time, Arthur can't get away, and Sirius insists on going in person, so I have to agree."

"I'm Harry's godfather, Molly!"

Sirius said with a dark face,
"It's only natural for me to pick up Harry, and I don't need anyone's permission."

Mrs. Weasley raised an eyebrow, and Remus smiled at the right moment and said,

"Your scrambled eggs are getting burnt, Molly—"

"Oh, thanks for reminding me, Remus-"

Weasley's attitude towards Remus was much friendlier, as she turned and rushed towards the kitchen, shouting,

"We can eat in a little while, Harry. Arthur also promised not to miss your birthday dinner before he went out in the morning!"

"Ah, you're back already?"

Just when Harry was about to tell Mrs. Weasley that he didn't have to go through a lot of trouble for his birthday, footsteps were heard on the stairs behind them. Harry turned around and saw that it wasn't Fred and George, but him Two young people who have never seen before, of course, they are also red-haired.

"Charlie and Bill—"

Ron laughed inexplicably,
"Surely you remember the story of the two of them at Hogwarts, don't you?"
