Soon it was time to make an appointment with my friends.
Malfoy and Neville came to Godric's Hollow via the Floo Network early.
Unfortunately, Ron couldn't come in the end. His father, Arthur, had been very lucky recently and won the Daily Prophet's annual Galleons Award, a total of 700 Galleons. The family planned to use the money to travel to Egypt. Because the eldest son of the Weasley family, Bill, was working in Egypt.
Before entering, Malfoy sighed after seeing the iron thorn security net that was as high as a person in a circle.
"I should really give my father some advice and let him do it too."
Malfoy Manor has no defense measures at all. If anyone wants to come in, they can come in.
It is worth mentioning that Malfoy no longer calls Lucius proudly as 'my dad', but instead adopts a more formal tone.
Although the iron thorn anti-theft net cannot protect against wizards, the role of these thorns is not for defense, but as a warning. If the wizard wants to clear these thorns, it will inevitably attract the attention of the owner of the house.
The moment they officially stepped into the large iron gate of the garden, Neville and Malfoy's eyes lit up, as if they had arrived in another time and space, a paradise.
"It's not much worse than my manor at all." Even Malfoy, who had seen many markets, couldn't help but admire it.
His Malfoy Manor is large but feels empty. The only scenery is the central fountain and the white peacock.
Dudley's place was different. The entire garden consisted of countless lawns, and different types of magical plants were planted on each lawn. Many of the plants Malfoy couldn't even name, and each had its own characteristics. Countless fairies (some kind of magical creatures), butterflies, etc. are flying around among these magical plants, so beautiful.
Located in the center of the garden, a five-story small castle is located there.
During this time, the castle has been basically renovated, and Dudley and the three of them have been living there for a while. In fact, the Potter family's old house has also been renovated, but Harry has no intention of living there, after all, there is no The parents didn't have Dudley either, so they couldn't call it home.
In fact, the area inside the castle is larger than that of Malfoy Manor. After all, it has five floors, but the floor area is slightly smaller. But if you include the old Potter House next to it, the area alone is not inferior to that of Malfoy Manor. Malfoy Manor.
It wasn't that Dudley didn't want a bigger place, and it wasn't because he had no money. The main reason was Godric's Hollow, the place where Godric Gryffindor, one of the legendary Big Four, was born.
Many wizards live here, and many times they won't sell it to you even if you are rich.
It's different from Malfoy Manor, a place so remote that you can't even see a single person in a radius of a hundred kilometers.
"Malfoy, if I were you I'd better not go any further."
Seeing that Malfoy had crossed a magical pumpkin patch and had to go further, Harry suddenly reminded him kindly.
Directly in front of him was a patch of cabbage.
Malfoy glanced at him in surprise, and said nonchalantly: "It's just some cabbage, what's there to worry about? Po Te, aren't you out of your mind?"
"I think Harry is serious." Neville, who was following behind the two of them, suddenly said.
As an expert in herbal medicine, Neville couldn't take his eyes away after seeing the cabbage patch.
The color of these cabbages is different from the pure green in the usual impression, but green with some orange.
Especially the outermost layer is yellow and orange.
"what is that?"
Seeing that Neville said the same thing, Malfoy was finally sure that Harry was not joking with him, and after staring at the cabbage for a while, he asked.
He didn't find any clues.
Please forgive Malfoy, he's not very good at Herbology.
"Harry, I think I saw it correctly?"
Neville asked Harry somewhat uncertainly.
There was something in his tone, and Harry knew what he wanted to ask.
"That area is an important defensive measure," Harry emphasized.
Neville suddenly became enlightened after hearing this.
Malfoy was the only one who listened in confusion, completely confused.
"What the hell are you two talking about?"
It was Neville who kindly explained to him: "Those cabbages, if I'm not mistaken."
“It’s biting kale.”
"Biting kale? What?"
Malfoy was still confused. Herbology was really not his area of expertise. His learning progress was not much higher than that of his peers, and he had not yet learned about biting cabbage.
Biting cabbage, whose full name is Chinese biting cabbage, is simply magic cabbage.
It's just that this cabbage is not the kind of cabbage in the ordinary world that is peeled off layer by layer and tastes a bit astringent and harmless to humans and animals.
This thing can bite people. It has a big mouth full of sharp teeth in the center of the cabbage. It is extremely aggressive. The most important thing is that it is a plant that can move freely.
If there are enough of them, even a fire dragon will be bitten to death.
Directly in front of Malfoy is a whole field of biting cabbage.
After listening to Neville's explanation, Malfoy shuddered unconsciously, and quietly moved a few steps to the side, keeping himself as far away from the vegetable patch as possible. Wake up.
Not to mention anything else, this cabbage field alone can elevate the defense of the entire castle to a new level.
Definitely a top defense.
"These cabbages have a slow growth cycle and high requirements. They are difficult to grow. Brother D spent a lot of time on them." Harry introduced.
His volume made Malfoy nervous: "Shhh Potter, keep it down."
Focus on the word coward.
Harry shook his head helplessly: "Don't worry, without Brother D's instructions, as long as you don't go in there by mistake, you'll be fine. These cabbages won't come out easily."
Neville withdrew his reluctant gaze and followed the footsteps of the other two.
As a top student in herbal medicine, he naturally knows the charm of biting cabbage.
Soon they walked through the garden and came to the gate of the castle.
"How do we get in?" Malfoy asked, looking at the bare door.
This door had been modified by Dudley. Not only did it not have a door handle, it didn't even have a keyhole. Even if you wanted to use the 'Alajo Cave', which has the title of Thief's Friend, there was nowhere to use it.
Harry glanced at the bumpkin with a look that made Malfoy uncomfortable.
Harry then walked up to the front door.
'Face recognition, passed. '
A slightly mechanical voice sounded in several people's ears.
The door slowly opened.
"What kind of magic is this?"
Malfoy didn't care about being a country bumpkin anymore, he just felt magical.
Harry thought for a while and replied: "Similar to Ravenclaw's eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, it can independently identify us."
"Cool!" Malfoy exclaimed.
Then the three of them entered the gate of the castle.
