Hogwarts Homecoming

When passing by the bar, the bar owner who was wiping the glass with a rag asked enthusiastically what Harry would like for breakfast, but Harry didn’t have time to answer this question at all. After leaving the back door of the bar, I stood in front of the trash can and knocked bricks before I had time to pull up my heels.

Stepping into the most spacious commercial street in Diagon Alley, the sudden bright light made Harry dazed for a moment. He scanned the row of shops opposite and found that many shops were not open yet.

There were very few pedestrians on the cobbled street, and it looked very empty. Harry took a few breaths of fresh morning air to suppress his nervousness about following Professor Brian. The talent of the golfer easily found Professor Brian who was walking towards the tallest building in Diagon Alley - Gringotts, the Goblin Bank.

Harry pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on the thin figure showing some hesitation.

To be honest, up until now, he didn't know why he made the decision to follow Professor Brian, perhaps, it was just out of pure curiosity!

The wizards passing by looked at him with strange eyes, and Harry suddenly came back to his senses, realizing that he had forgotten to take off the invisibility cloak he inherited from his father, which was a good helper for tracking and stealth.

"Professor Blaine can see through the camouflage of the Invisibility Cloak—"

The invisibility cloak is very useful, but it is not absolute. The night when Ginny was attacked last semester, and Lucius Malfoy rushed into Hogwarts to make trouble, in Hagrid's cabin, Professor Brian and Deng Professor Bullido has seen through the invisibility of the invisibility cloak.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Harry gave up his plan to go upstairs to get the cloak, and quietly followed after a distance of less than two hundred feet.

In the past, when he and Ron went out on night tours at Hogwarts, with the help of the invisibility cloak, they were always in harmony, whether it was the castle administrator Filch and his Mrs. Norris, or The senior prefects and even the professors, no one has ever been able to spot them, and this has made Harry never realize that his real follow-up level is actually terribly stinking.

Even though he had tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, the passers-by who occasionally passed by him still looked at him with strange expressions on their faces, as if they could tell what he was doing at a glance.

Harry blushed, partly because he was doing a taboo provocative thing right now, and partly because of the mocking looks of passers-by.

He hurriedly chased after him, keeping the distance between himself and Professor Brian within a relatively constant range, and when he passed in front of the tall and majestic snow-white building of Gringotts, Professor Brian was caught off guard. Flashed into an inconspicuous alley.

At first, Harry didn't realize the uniqueness of this alley. In order to avoid being lost, he just followed up at a faster pace. However, when he stood in front of the winding alley with no end in sight , Harry suddenly came back to his senses, and broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

These days, Professor Brian reminded him that he had explored most of the alleys in Diagon Alley, but there was only one, and the two of them had never entered.

Knockturn Alley - Harry had accidentally entered it once last summer, and it frightened him enough to be honest.

Even if Harry's 'social experience' is not rich enough, he can tell at a glance that most of the wizards who come and go here and those who do business in the alleys are not decent guys.

Why did Professor Blaine break into Knockturn Alley?

Harry, who was standing at the entrance of the alley, was puzzled and hesitant. After a while, he got a relatively reasonable answer, that is, Professor Bryan discovered a certain criminal operating here, and he came to arrest him.

"It's business, I shouldn't bother—"

Staring at the deep alley, Harry grunted nervously, and then stepped in.

After a year, Harry, who entered Knockturn Alley again, had to admit that he really didn't like this place.

Smelly sludge accumulated in the gaps between the floor tiles, and the walls on both sides of the narrow alleyway were covered with mold and dark red brown spots. As we moved forward, the temperature in the air dropped rapidly, and it seemed that even the sky turned dark.

Hold back the palpitations and continue walking forward. After a bend, there is a long straight road. In the faint mist, a row of gloomy shops appeared in Harry's vision.

Harry remembered these shops. Last time, he mistakenly passed through the Floo network to one of the black magic shops called Borgin-Bock, and happened to meet Malfoy and his son who came here to deal with black magic items.

Should we keep going, or just turn back?

Harry stared blankly at the alley that smelled of treachery, his footsteps froze, and he was fighting fiercely in his heart.

A breeze blew across his face, Harry shivered suddenly, the tip of his nose suddenly itched, he covered his mouth, and sneezed heavily.

"You should have put on your socks before you came out, Potter." Suddenly, a low, amused voice came out of Harry's back unexpectedly.

The sudden sound made Harry's heart thump, goosebumps all over his body, he suddenly jumped up and wanted to run forward, but a hand grabbed his collar, The hand was so strong that Harry jumped a few times but couldn't break free.

"Relax, Potter, it's me."

The voice mingled with laughter sounded again, and this time, Harry finally recognized that it seemed to be Professor Brian's voice.

"Oh, Professor Blaine!"

The pale-faced Harry clutched his still beating heart, turned around and looked at the young and handsome face with a playful smile, panting again and again, after a few tens of seconds, Harry calmed down slightly with embarrassment on his face and shame,

"Sorry, Professor, I didn't mean to."

"Ah, ah, it's understandable, it's normal for a little wizard of your age to have a strong curiosity—" Amosta smiled and looked at Harry and said, "Especially, you are from Gryffindor College. "

When Professor Bryan said that, not only did Harry not feel better, but he was even more ashamed. He lowered his head, his earlobe was red, and he kept muttering apologies. Finally dared to raise his head.

"When did you discover me, Professor Blaine?"

When he calmed down, Harry immediately asked the question he wanted to know the most. He knew that his tracking skills might not be outstanding, but along the way, Professor Brian didn't even look back. How did he find him?

"Oh, this—"

Responding to Harry's green eyes full of curiosity, Amosta said with a smile, "I probably knew it the moment you left the room and rushed out of the bar."

Harry's eyes widened in surprise, hoping for an explanation he could understand.

"--Hey, you don't think I'm really defenseless, just let you stay in the room alone," Amosta said with a smile, "except for arranging some defensive spells in the room , I also made a positioning mark on you, this mark allows me to perceive your position at all times, don't mind, Potter"

Amosta looked at Harry who was groping around to see if there was something extra on his body, and said with a smile,

"I think that if someone breaks through my defensive spell and takes you away, at least I can figure out your location."
