Harry felt that tonight's experience was really bad. First he was startled by a big black dog that suddenly appeared, and then he saw a car that looked shabby on the outside and even more shabby on the interior. the bus.
Then he realized that it was a Knight Bus. The main purpose is to transport wizards who are in trouble and transport them to anywhere on the land.
The way to hail a taxi is also very simple: you put the wand in your hand into the air, similar to how Muggles hail a taxi.
Although many things in the magical world are magical, the Knight Bus still made him feel like, 'How can the world become like this? 'a feeling of.
The current Harry is not the Harry in the original book who didn't have much thought about anything else except for being extremely interested in Quidditch.
Thanks to Luke's quick actions, second-year Harry has already won the Quidditch championship with his teammates. Although last year's Academy Cup was ruthlessly taken away by Slytherin. After all, Slytherin, with two extra-point machines, had a huge advantage.
But Harry, who won the Quidditch championship, was still very satisfied with the status quo. Likewise, part of his energy has been transferred to potions.
His interest in research gave him some understanding of various strange situations that were considered unreasonable in the wizarding world.
For example, the appearance of this bus. The very existence of this thing is irrational enough. Although the wizarding world has various attacks related to the Muggle world, in fact the wizarding world as a whole is still quite conservative and quite repulsive to the Muggle world. This has a lot to do with the fact that they are still riding magic broomsticks instead of magic bicycles.
If the so-called Knight Bus was a horse-drawn carriage, then he thought it was quite normal.
But now, what appears is indeed a bus.
Harry didn't know the whole story of the establishment of the Knight Bus, but he only knew one thing...the speed of this thing was really a bit too fast...
It was really too fast, so fast that he thought, why is there only one such vehicle?
And when he thought about this, he suddenly thought of what Luke said back then.
"In the society we live in now, there are many things that seem weird. For example, things that are very convenient can't be used as tools to facilitate our lives for some very boring reasons."
"There are also some surnames with a long history that have been excluded from the aristocratic group for some very nonsensical reasons."
Harry remembered that Luke's eyes were staring directly at him when he said the last sentence.
"Is this what Luke meant?"
Harry murmured to himself as he walked towards the door of the Leaky Cauldron.
Before he could open the door, a bald man with a serious stoop, as if he had a big pillow stuffed behind his back, came out with a warm expression on his face, but it made Harry feel a little chilled.
Not for any other reason. But the person in front of him gave him a bad feeling of déjà vu.
"Oh! Mr. Potter! You're finally here."
The bald man grinned and said: "My name is Tom, please come in!"
Although Harry still followed in. But this name seemed to make him feel a little awkward.
But this awkwardness disappeared after he entered the Leaky Cauldron.
Because in the Leaky Cauldron, he saw a very familiar figure.
"It's been a while, Harry."
Luke smiled and opened his arms. Harry also gave Luke a warm hug.
"Why are you here too?"
After the two separated, Harry asked with some surprise. After all, based on what he knew about Luke, lazy Luke would not come to the bustling Leaky Cauldron under such circumstances.
After all, this is just a gathering place for ordinary wizards, and because it is a very important gathering place, there will be some nobles. But when they appear, they often don't stay here, they are just a transfer.
That's why Harry felt that the current situation was a bit strange.
Luke suppressed the smile on his face: "Is your magic out of control?"
The expression on Harry's face froze. He didn't expect Luke to start with this matter.
"You also know? Is this serious?"
Harry actually didn't know much about the laws of the wizarding world. So when Luke appeared here and brought up this matter, he subconsciously thought something was going to happen to him.
Then in an instant, I regretted my actions. However, this kind of regret was superficial and short-lived. He even regretted that he should have done it more secretly and not been discovered.
Seeing the complicated expression on Harry's face and the mixed emotions, Luke patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, this matter can be big or small. Small. It’s completely normal for a wizard to lose control of his magic power due to losing control of his emotions.”
"But this time, because it has caused certain harm and panic to Muggles, some manpower and material resources will be spent to eliminate these effects."
"Of course, this is a Ministry problem. Your problem is..."
Luke looked at Harry seriously and said, "You shouldn't have run away from home."
His serious expression made Harry feel heavy. He might not listen to what others said, but Luke was different. If Luke reprimanded him, Harry would really reflect on himself.
"Your sudden departure first caused trouble for the work of the staff of the Ministry of Magic. They did not have enough channels to obtain information, and it also caused misjudgment of your position in this matter."
These words also made Harry reflect. If he thought about it, his behavior had indeed caused some people to be troubled to a considerable extent.
After that, Luke continued to speak.
"Secondly, the important thing is, Harry, running away from home will only make them feel your cowardice. Don't let them look down on you. Your cowardice will only become the basis for them to continue to attack you."
With that said, Luke patted Harry hard on the shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, don't worry. You did nothing wrong. Those who bully you should teach them a profound lesson. And such counterattacks should not be punished."
Luke's last words were, of course, a statement of his attitude. He still supported Harry's direct rebellion with the Dursleys.
Is the existence of the Dursleys really necessary?
Their existence is to strengthen the ancient magic in Harry. After all, it is magic based on love and blood.
But now, does Harry really need that magical protection?
Luke doesn't think so.
Voldemort, in Luke's eyes, is just a little pest. What really threatened him were the saints who were still active, the organizations hiding in the dark and plotting unknown plans, and the powerful and deep-rooted nobles. Instead of a little Voldemort.
His ideas are naturally opposed to the large number of mixed-blood wizards and Muggle wizards. As long as he appears now, after the nobles have a strong leader, no one will stand by his side. Even if there were, they were just idiots who couldn't see the situation clearly.
Such people are not worth being too careful about.
Harry felt Luke's encouragement and trust, and was deeply moved in his heart.
Clearly, Luke is the real deal and is on his side.
"I know! I won't make this mistake again next time."
Harry, who was already in the shape of a teenager, promised Luke with a childlike expression.
Luke patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "Now, there is another person who wants to see you."
After saying that, he waved his hand to Tom, who was smiling flatteringly at him, indicating that he could go. Tom smiled and nodded, and then went about his own business.
And Luke turned around and walked upstairs.
"Who? Who wants to see me?"
Harry followed Luke's footsteps and asked curiously.
He keenly felt that although Luke's attitude was still casual, he was a little more cautious than how he treated other people.
After hearing this question, Luke was silent for a moment, turned to look at Harry, and then said: "A man was pushed into a position that should not belong to him at an abnormal time, and then he was silent when he should not have A fool who speaks when he shouldn't."
After Harry heard this comment, he silently shut his mouth.
He really didn't think that someone who could receive such comments from Luke would be a small person.
If he was really a nobody, he wouldn't be worthy of Luke's four-part evaluation.
So when Luke opened the door, he saw the person who had received such a comment from Luke.
Luke smiled and introduced him: "Harry, this is Mr. Fudge, Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic."
Harry is stunned...Minister of Magic, and your comment just now...Luke, you are good.
Before Harry could recover, Cornelius Fudge walked towards Harry with a friendly face and a bright smile on his face.
"Haha, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, Harry!"
Fudge walked up to Harry like a kind elder, put his hands on his shoulders enthusiastically, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Actually, this meeting should have happened earlier. It’s a pity that it has been delayed until now. But it’s not too late.”
As he spoke, he led Harry to sit on the chair next to the table, and then made an inviting gesture to Luke.
After the two sat down, Fudge said with a smile: "Harry, you made a lot of noise a little south of Sheffield. Many people saw your uncle's sister circling a chimney. .”
When Harry heard this, he immediately wanted to explain, but Fudge didn't give him a chance.
"No, no, no, there is no need to explain anything. Mr. Gunter has already told me about your situation. Although I have never experienced such a thing, I can understand your mood. But next time you encounter such a thing, It would be better for you to stay there and assist the team to reverse the accidental magic incidents to deal with related matters."
"After all, no one goes to Azkaban for blowing up his aunt into a balloon with magic."
When he said this, Fudge spread his hands and showed a bright smile on his face.
After hearing this, Harry glanced at Luke gratefully. Luke smiled back.
And then, Harry heard Fudge speak again.
"However," Fudge said seriously, "Given the current situation, you would be irresponsible to yourself by running away from home."
Harry was a little confused: "The current situation? What is the current situation?"
"A murderer escaped from prison."
Fudge stared deeply into Harry's eyes, as if trying to see something wrong in his eyes.
But obviously, he didn't notice it.
Harry didn't pay attention to his eyes, but asked with some confusion: "Sirius Black? What does he have to do with me?"
Fudge wasn't surprised when Harry announced the name. After all, the news of the other party's jailbreak has spread throughout the British wizarding world, and has even begun to spread to the entire European wizarding community.
Furthermore, it wouldn't be a surprise if Luke told him this news. Obviously, these two equally famous teenagers have a very deep friendship.
This situation gave Fudge a sense of déjà vu, but for a moment he didn't realize where he had seen a similar combination.
"It doesn't matter, of course it doesn't matter." Fudge smiled brightly, "You are safe now, and that is the most important thing."
Looking at Fudge's smiling face and his relieved expression, Harry suddenly felt that Luke's previous comments might not be considered slander.
After all, if there was something Luke didn't want him to know, he would never be able to tell it from his face and voice.
But Fudge was different, his emotions were almost written on his face.
To use Luke's words to describe it, it's probably... the city is not enough?
But this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
It's not easy to get the answer directly from Minister Fudge now, so just go back and ask Luke directly.
With a smile on his face, Fudge stood up again and walked towards his temporary desk.
"You can return to Hogwarts tomorrow. By the way, your new textbooks are over there."
Fudge smiled and pointed to the top of the cabinet on the other side: "I brought it here for you on my own initiative."
Then he smiled politely at Luke and said, "Mr. Gunter, we will talk in detail later."
Luke, who had been watching for a long time, smiled and nodded and said, "I'm always waiting."
Such an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant had already made Fudge inexplicably excited, and Harry could even see the blush on his face.
Luke snapped his fingers and a pile of Harry's books flew behind them.
Before Harry could ask, Luke spoke first.
"Harry, you seem to have grown a lot taller."
He had a small smile on his face.
Harry heard this and nodded: "After all, we are already in third grade."
