Hogwarts Homecoming

"Potter, Potter--"

At the dawn of dawn, with soft light, in the morning in mid-August, the cool breeze permeates through the old window grille, and the fresh air is mixed with the mysterious atmosphere that only belongs to magic. In a soft call, Harry opened his sleepy eyes.

The process of getting up was very difficult, because of the high-intensity 'labour' these days, Harry, who seemed to have gone through Wood's pre-match training, felt his muscles and bones groaning. He struggled to get up, and stared blankly at the window , but found that I couldn't see anything clearly.

cuckoo -

The mocking cries of Hedwig, who lived in the birdcage hanging from the window, made Harry's stiff brain a lot more active. He fumbled around the pillow with his hands and muttered,

"My glasses--" Then, Harry realized that a hand was holding something up to his nose.

"Well, thanks-"

Harry nodded his thanks and fumbled to put on his glasses. When his vision became clear, he was surprised to find that Professor Blaine was fully dressed and looked as if he was about to go out.

"Wait a minute, Professor Blaine, I'll get up right away."

The socks were left on the ground beside the bed, and the clothes were thrown at the end of the bed. Harry lifted the quilt and was about to crawl to get the clothes at the end of the bed. According to the daily habits of these days, after he was fully dressed and went downstairs for breakfast, Professor Brian would Take him for a 'walk' in the maze-like alleys on both sides of Diagon Alley.

"Wait, Potter—"

Just when Harry was about to get up, Professor Brayne held down his shoulders, making him unable to move. Harry blinked his eyes and looked up, but was surprised to find that Professor Brayne's expression was the same as that of those who had been with him these days. Times were different.

What's different, Harry couldn't say for a moment, it's just a vague feeling that it's much 'cold', a bit like last semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, when Professor Brian met some little wizards who were overly active in class expression.

"Now you can stay in your room and have a good rest, Potter, I need to go out to do some business alone, so I'll let you know in advance so that you won't find me in the room when you wake up and look around. "

Facing Potter's bewildered gaze, Amosta smiled slightly and gave an explanation.

do something

Such a vague statement made Harry immediately wake up. After a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Harry jumped up from the bed with a bang,

"You found him, didn't you?"

There was excitement and excitement in Harry's suppressed voice, "You found Sirius Black, so you are going to deal with him now?!"

Where is this all? Harry's forced brain filling made Amosta dumbfounded.

"We've been together for the past few days, Potter. If I really found out about Black, then you would know about it too."

"Oh, that's true—" Harry muttered as he stroked his fringed, unruly hair.

"Then, that's the way it is, Potter. I'll be back in about two or three hours. During the time I'm not back, you can walk around to pass the time, but don't leave the Leaky Cauldron."

After solemnly instructing, Amosta left the room straight away and disappeared from Harry's sight.

Disturbed by the breeze, strands of hair dangled in front of Harry's eyes, disturbing him a bit after he hadn't slept well.

The street below the window was very quiet, and there were not many people coming and going. Harry squinted his eyes and looked at the wall clock, and found that it was only early six o'clock. At this time, it was a little early even to go downstairs for breakfast. He took off his glasses and fell down on the bed again with a clang. After pulling up the quilt, he rested his arms on his eyes to block the already somewhat dazzling light.

tick-tick

Skip the top '12' in seconds, and the time is ten past six.

What exactly did Professor Blaine do?

Once the consciousness regained consciousness, it would be difficult to fall asleep again. This question popped up in Harry's mind uncontrollably after closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Speaking of which, what exactly does Professor Blaine do? This is another unanswered question.

In the last semester, Professor Brian told everyone in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class that he was a 'freelancer', relying on running errands for people, looking for ingredients for potions, and delivering goods. Such things to make ends meet, at that time, no one believed this.

Later, as the course continued, after the little wizards had a clearer understanding of Professor Brain's magical skills, especially, Harry had seen Professor Brain deal with the snake lightly in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. Strange, Harry was even more certain that it was just a way of fooling them.

His roommate at Hogwarts, Dean Thomas, once guessed that Professor Bryan should be a bounty hunter hired by the Ministry of Magic all the year round, specializing in hunting down dark wizards and fighting criminals.

This statement is somewhat believable, especially since Professor Bryan has now accepted the entrustment of the Minister of Magic to look after him, and is still working so hard to hunt down Sirius Black who escaped from Azkaban Prison.

Harry rolled over, facing the direction of the wall, and his thoughts continued to turn.

So, Professor Brian's mysterious departure at this time is because he has received a new order from the Ministry of Magic?

This is the most likely possibility, Harry thought.

Speaking of which, he himself has never considered what kind of job he will have after graduating from Hogwarts in the future.

In school, most of the little wizards around him also lived their lives in such a ignorant manner.

Ron never mentioned what he wanted to do in the future. Harry knew Ron, and he thought that Ron's only requirement for a job in the future might be a good salary.

Although this ideal is not noble, Harry thinks that it is not Ron's fault.

The Weasleys were indeed the nicest family Harry had ever met, but, with too many children in the family, the Weasleys were in dire financial straits.

Moreover, there are five outstanding older brothers on Ron's head, and a little sister who is doted on by a big family below him. While he can't enjoy a rich living condition, he has to face so many brothers and sisters who distract Wei Wei. The love of the Slys.

As for his other good friend Hermione, to be honest, among all the young wizards currently studying at Hogwarts, Harry couldn't find any one who could surpass Hermione in studying hard.

But she never mentioned what she wanted to do in the future. Harry thought that Hermione might stay at Hogwarts after graduation and work as a professor. After all, in many cases, she and Mike Professor Ge really likes it.

Of course, not everyone's perception of the future is so unclear. Harry knows that Ron's brother, Percy, has a firm goal and wants to work in the Ministry of Magic, and Fred and George, who are interested in research I am fascinated by the Magic Joke product, and I definitely want to continue this 'noble' cause in the future.

about himself.

Harry moved his arms and opened his eyes wide, looking at the slightly yellowish wall, thinking quietly.

Enter the Ministry of Magic. Harry does not reject being a Ministry of Magic official like Mr. Weasley. The only problem is that the Ministry of Magic has very strict requirements for selecting staff, and his grades are a big problem.

Like Wood, inspired to become a Quidditch star?

Quidditch is Harry's favorite sport, and it would be a good choice if he could become a star.

Or. Be a free-spirited bounty hunter like Professor Blaine?

Unconsciously, Harry grinned, fighting against evil is a very cool thing, and this choice is not bad, although he cannot become a powerful wizard like Professor Bryan.

tick-tick

The second skipped '12' again, and the time was 6:11.

Crash!

Harry jumped up from the bed and put on his clothes in only ten seconds. If he didn't come, he hurriedly put on his socks, stepped on the heels of his shoes, and slammed the door away with a bang.
