The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 75 The upcoming second school year

For the next few days, Jon was at the Leaky Cauldron, in a state of ill health.

Hannah gave him half a bottle of "Mrs. Scarlett's Recovery Potion".

For fear of losing control again, the magic did not dare to be used again, and the wand was thrown to the bottom of the suitcase by him again...

There was nothing to do every day, so he had to go to the Lihen Bookstore next to Mrs. Mokin's robe store and read books casually.

In a few days, he has read "The History of Modern Magic", "The Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century", "The Rise and Fall of Black Magic", "The Great Discovery of Modern Magic" and "The Life and Social Habits of British Muggle Families".

To be honest, these works published by wizards are generally not well written; many things are not clearly stated, and there are often common sense errors...especially the last one, which has too many flaws, giving Jon a kind of "I'm fine with me" feeling.

In his spare time, he occasionally goes to Florin's cold drink shop to have some ice cream; the cold drinks here are really good.

At the same time, he will also say hello to the neighbors of the Leaky Cauldron.

Harry Potter, living in room eleven in the Leaky Cauldron, happens to be Jon's neighbor. He spends most of his time at the open-air stand of this cold drink shop, basking in the sun while doing his summer homework.

The two just met on one side, and they didn't know each other very well. They parted ways after saying hello.

And because of Mr. Potter's presence, the defense of the Leaky Cauldron has become more serious... Jon has seen people dressed up as Aurors several times and searched around; at first he thought he was here to arrest himself, but he was frightened. Jump.

However, the staff of the Ministry of Magic did not disturb the guests of the Leaky Cauldron.

In the last few days of August, the Weasleys crowded into the Leaky Cauldron, and they took up almost half of the room here.

However, they are a family of nine, and Jon and Ginny Weasley are barely familiar with each other, so there is not much intersection.

On the last day of August, Jon received a letter.

Among them, a letter sent by a very beautiful white owl was sent by Astoria Greengrass; Astoria asked Jon in the letter, and they often stayed before going on tomorrow. in that compartment, and take the train to Hogwarts together.

Jon wrote a line on the note: "Okay, wait for me tomorrow!"

Then he tied the note to the owl's leg; but the owl didn't leave, it continued to hover in front of him, until Jon dropped it a small piece of bread, and it bit it and flew out the window.

To be honest, Jon felt that the communication method of owl communication was okay a hundred years ago, but now it is extremely backward. Not compared with telephones, mobile phones, and emails, which are several dimensions inferior, even if compared with telegrams and faxes, they are far inferior.

Then, as usual, he went to the phone booth in Charing Cross Street and made a phone call with his family.

Eric told him on the phone that he would drive to the Leaky Cauldron tomorrow to take him to King's Cross.

...

At eight o'clock the next morning, Jon had just finished breakfast, and Eric's car had arrived at the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

"It's okay, son!" Eric asked as he got out of the car and checked the tires, "I'm not too late!"

"It's very early. I don't think I'll have to wait at King's Cross for more than an hour later!" Jon said with a smile, "Didn't mom come?"

"She really wanted to come...it took me a while to convince her!" Eric explained.

The car started, but it was not heading for King's Cross.

"Where are we going?" Jon asked curiously.

"Don't ask, just go to Rome!" Eric said jokingly.

The car's stereo started to play the famous "Let it Be" by The Beatles, and Eric stepped on the accelerator while humming out of tune.

The car kept heading north, and more than half an hour later, from the roadside sign, Jon knew that they had reached Camden Town; he was wondering why Eric had brought himself here, when suddenly he found the roadside station A pair of grandparents and grandchildren seem to be waiting for them.

Eric stopped the car, rolled down the right window at the same time, stuck his head out, and shouted to his grandparents halfway across the road, "Good morning, Mrs. Longbottom!"

"You're really on time, Mr. Hart." Mrs. Augusta-Longbottom hurriedly took her grandson's hand and came over: "I'm really bothering you!"

"You're welcome, just drop by!" Eric smiled, then got out of the car and opened the door.

"Hello, Mrs Longbottom!" When Neville-Longbottom and his grandma got into the car, Jon quickly turned around: "And Neville."

"I think you should be Jon!" Mrs Longbottom shook hands with Jon gracefully: "Neville often mentions you at home, saying that you have good grades and are very smart, even for Snape, who is so fearful of him. Professor, they all praised you."

"I think Jon mentioned Neville quite a few times this summer!" Eric said while driving: "A very kind, honest and simple boy."

Jon could have sworn he barely talked to his parents about any of his classmates all summer.

"Yeah!" Mrs. Longbottom nodded with a smile: "This child is just like his father when he was a child, very kind and simple... just a little duller!"

"Hey!" Mrs Longbottom sighed as she said, "And too careless, too stupid... I took him to London with Floo powder a few times, and he always read the wrong words and got to the wrong fireplace. It took a long time to find him; fortunately, Mr. Eric, you are willing to help!"

"By the way!" Eric said, "That's what boys are like, when they're young, they're not very sensible... But growing up, it happens overnight! So don't worry, it won't be long, Neville said. Grow up overnight."

"Lend your good words!" Mrs Longbottom sighed again, and then patted Neville on the head again: "Neville, you still don't thank Uncle Hart."

"Thank you..." Neville Longbottom said timidly.

Eric continued to drive, talking to Mrs Longbottom behind him, Jon interjecting from time to time, but Neville huddled in the corner of the car, not saying a word.

The car continued to drive forward, and Jon's eyes were slightly wet.

Because Jon is very clear, the purpose of his father doing this... He is alone in the magic world, but he can't help anything; so he tried every means to get to know some wizards, have a good relationship with them, and have a relationship with him in the future. If you get a good wizard, you will become your own "connection"...

It is conceivable that if an ordinary person tries to get acquainted with wizards, if he wants to succeed, he will be discriminated against and looked down upon.

The car stopped at King's Cross and Mrs Longbottom and Neville got out first.

Jon unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to Eric: "Thank you, Dad!"

"It's okay!" Eric winked at him: "Read well."

Jon nodded solemnly.

...

Eric did not pit with him, and Jon followed Longbottom alone behind his grandparents.

Across the 9? station, Mrs. Augusta-Longbottom was still admonishing, even criticizing Neville, and in her words Jon seemed to have heard his name several times.

Speaking of which, Neville can be said to be a very miserable child.

As a result of witnessing the tragic torture of his parents to the point of madness, he was cast an oblivion spell at a young age, and his memory was permanently damaged; and his talent was very poor, and it was often difficult to perform magic, and even for a long time, his family was used by his family for a long time. Treat it like a Squib; the most important thing is that it is not his own wand, but his father's, which leads to not being able to exert much strength...

Mrs Longbottom's reprimand seemed to be over as she helped Neville straighten his collar and gave Jon a thumbs up look.

They boarded the train together.

Passing by Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley's cubicle, Neville walked in timidly; Jon declined Ginny's invitation.

He continued to move forward, and after two minutes, he finally pushed his suitcase and arrived at the private room he had agreed with Astoria.

"Sorry, there's someone here!" He heard Astoria's languid voice as he pushed open the compartment door.

But soon, the voice changed to surprise: "Jon!"

"Good morning, Astoria!" Jon said as he pushed the suitcase on the pedals.

Jon looked back, and he saw Astoria's blond hair in a ponytail, and she was wearing a beautiful white dress.

"Does it look good?" Astoria winked at him.

"Where is this veela or an angel, I almost didn't recognize it..." Jon said with a smile.

"Humph!" Astoria snorted, her cheeks slightly red.

"How was your summer vacation?" she asked.

"It's not too good!" Jon said with a wry smile: "You can't use magic for more than two months, and the principal went to my house for a home visit?"

"Professor Dumbledore's home visit?" Astoria suddenly became interested: "God, Professor Dumbledore actually visits students' homes, Jon, you are so lucky!"

"Maybe!" Jon forced a smile: "How about you, your summer vacation?"

"Mother took me and my sister to Alsace for a month, which is her hometown." Astoria replied: "She took us to find a litter of moon beasts, and their dances are so lovely; And the Silencebirds, whose feathers are said to have great medicinal value; a French friend of hers gave me an Appaloosa puffball, but I didn't bring it back to England..."

Astoria gushed about her summer experiences.

While they were talking, the Hogwarts Express started.

Thanks to book friends, hahaha, the sun, Cuihua, and Yingxuexiao for their rewards
