12 Grimmauld Place.
The soft and comfortable sunlight shines through the carved window grilles on the two boys who are busy writing at their desks.
The quill scratched across the parchment, and a rapid rustling sound enveloped the room.
Although his wrist was extremely sore, Harry did not dare to rest for a moment. He held his breath and concentrated. His green eyes did not focus on the words left by the pen tip as it crossed the paper. Instead, he paid special attention to the remaining space on the parchment under his pen, muttering softly while the dragons and phoenixes were dancing.
Ron sitting next to him was almost in the same state.
The old wall clock on the wall faithfully recorded every second of time, when the hand pointed to ten o'clock
"It's done!"
Harry suddenly Throw away your quill, jump out of your chair, and raise your hands above your head like a celebratory cheer when you win a Quidditch game.
On the other hand, Ron looked like he was mourning while Harry cheered.
He reluctantly pulled out Harry's parchment and glanced at it twice. After making sure that Harry's paper met the length required by Professor Binns, he wailed and threw himself on the table as if being slapped. Lost my spine!
"Bring Ron, don't try to cheat!"
Ron's wailing not only failed to win Harry's sympathy, but instead made the smile on his lips brighter, and he turned towards Ron Extend a hand.
"Here you are"
Ron let out an angry cry. He put his hand into his pocket and took out a handful of coins. After picking out a Galleons, he put The remaining commemorative coins given to him by Sickle, Nat, and Professor Blaine were put back into his pocket.
"This Galleung should have played a more important role"
Reluctantly placing the Galleung in Harry's palm, Ron said with a melancholy look on his face.
"I'm willing to admit defeat, Ron"
Harry said with a smile,
"It's just a Galleung, it's not worth losing your grace."
The closed door of the room opened at this moment, and someone they had known would appear today, but when she actually appeared, the two of them couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the surprise. .
Before Harry could scream in surprise, the girl at the door rushed over and hugged him fiercely.
"Oh, it's just two weeks since we last met, Hermione"
Feeling the warm embrace, Harry said, but the joy in his heart was greater than the one he had just received from Ron. That won many times more than a galleon, and he gave Hermione a hard hug.
Then came Ron. With a bright smile, Hermione also gave Ron a warm hug. Only then did the slight tension on Ron's face dissipate and his smile became brighter.
"How was the trip, Hermione?"
Ron asked with a smile, looking at Hermione.
The girl in front of her is wearing a Muggle-style light blue suspender floral skirt. She is slim and fair.Her feet were wearing refreshing sandals, as if she couldn't wait to see them. Hermione had not yet taken off the straw hat that was wrapped with a white silk ribbon and tied with a playful bow.
Perhaps due to enjoying enough sunshine, Hermione's skin color shows a slight wheat color.
However, this does not detract from her beauty. Harry and Ron were both surprised to find that Hermione looked much taller than before after not seeing each other for two weeks!
"Phew!"
The smile on Hermione's face was no less than that of Harry and Ron. She looked around the room. This environment was much worse than before, which made her frown. His nose wrinkled.
But she immediately exhaled happily,
"My father and mother took me to Dijon. The scenery there is beautiful, but the weather is much drier than in London. I I can’t get used to it.
Stop talking about it. How are you doing with your summer homework?”
“It’s done!”
“Almost!”
Harry and Ron said quickly.
Both of them moved in unison, blocking their backs and placing it on the table. They made up random papers on the history of magic in order to compete for speed. Of course, even without this, their papers would still be in Hebei Province. Min's eyes may not be that clever.
"Oh, really!"
Hermione seemed very happy,
"I thought you wouldn't be so diligent without supervision. Anyway, "
Fortunately, Hermione didn't notice their little movements. She combed her hair in front of her eyes and continued,
"Dad and Mum were not very happy that I left early. , they hope I can stay at home until school starts.
As you know, I didn’t spend much time with them this summer, because the trial and the war in Diagon Alley were delayed.”
“Then you How did you convince them, Hermione? "
Harry actively cooperated with Hermione's topic and pretended to be interested in this, because if Hermione noticed their messed up papers, she would be stubborn and serious. His character may very well force them to write another one.
"I told them that I had to buy things for next semester in advance. I didn't tell them that the wizarding world had just experienced a war. I only said that there was some unrest, so I'd better go with you. , and then they agreed."
Hermione was in high spirits,
"By the way, have you received the book list from Hogwarts? It's strange, I haven't. I found that we are required to purchase the textbooks for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class next semester."
"Maybe they haven't figured out who to find to take over this unfortunate job!"
Ron, like Harry, had the same thoughts. In order to avoid rewriting boring papers, Ron also actively cooperated with the topic,
"We have been waiting for you to come over. Now that you are here, we can leave for Diagon Alley immediately!"
< p>"They are already waiting for us downstairs!"Hermione suddenly remembered and quickly grabbed Harry and Ron's arms and rushed out of the room, walking quickly downstairs.
"Speaking of which, how did you get here, Hermione?"
When he went down to the second floor, Harry glanced at the large suitcase at the door of Ginny's bedroom. He asked,
"A Muggle taxi?"
"Don't be stupid, Harry, of course it's the Knight Bus"
Hermione quickly said.
“But!”
Ron looked puzzled, but before he could express his question, Hermione answered,
"Before I left, the Daily Prophet said, didn't it? The Death Eaters only robbed the Knight Bus and used it to transport the giants to the battlefield, but they did not kill the driver and conductor of this bus!"
"Why?"
Harry asked in confusion,
"The Death Eaters are starting to be merciful?"
"Oh, Maybe the mysterious man particularly likes the Knight Bus!"
Ron pouted.
They went down to the kitchen, where Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, and the twin brothers were ready to go.
"Be quick, Ron!"
As he walked down the stairs, Ron's robe got caught on the wooden thorns on the handrail of the stairs, and he was tearing at it. The robe was obviously too small.
Ginny looked at her brother angrily,
"We have to go to Gringotts to get the money first!"
Harry and Weasley The family has been to Diagon Alley many times, but before each departure, Mrs. Weasley looked cautious and embarrassed. Never before did she appear so confident.
She stood in front of the fireplace with a smile, and did not blame Ron for the rude way he treated his robe.
Harry knew that the confidence in her performance was brought about by the bonus Ron received from the Triwizard Tournament and the substantial increase in Mr. Weasley's salary.
"Stop complaining, Ron, we can buy you a new robe later, just think of it as encouragement in advance!"
"Encouragement for what?"
Ron, who was looking at the tears in his robe unhappily, suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother eagerly.
"Does this need to be said?"
Hermione was the first to react. She took a small breath and looked a little nervous.
< p>"Fifth grade is an OWLS year, isn't it? We have to face the OWLS exam this school year. Oh my god, my heart is pounding just thinking about this!""Oh, if there is no OWLS exam, , I would rather wear this holey robe for the whole school year."
Ron immediately sagged.
They crowded noisily in front of the fireplace, but everyone had a smile on their face. It seemed that the opening of Hogwarts had brought general happiness to people.
Harry thought it was a bit likeThe Olympic Games, on this important day, all disputes must be postponed.
"Speaking of which, wasn't Gringotts destroyed in the war, Mrs. Weasley?"
Watching Fred and George jump into the fireplace first, Harry suddenly Thinking of the key point, he quickly turned around and asked Mrs. Weasley, who was at the end of the team.
When he went to Diagon Alley before the war started, he also deposited the prize money he received from the game into the treasury. Carrying so much gold on his body was too arrogant!
That was the first time since he inherited the treasury that he put gold into the treasury instead of taking gold.
However
This is also because Gringotts holds all his wealth. If it is gone all at once, he will have no choice but to borrow money from Sirius.
"Oh, don't worry, dear, those vaults are all deep underground and have not been affected by the war. Gringotts will compensate for any losses in individual vaults!"< /p>
Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.
"I don't even know goblins anymore"
Harry muttered, and then stepped into the fireplace. The end of this chapter has been severely transcoded recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
