The train bound for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry slowly left King's Cross Station. The adults watched from a distance as the smoke from the locomotive was dragged out into long strips and dissipated in the sky, and then they began to talk to each other.
chat between.
The little wizards don't know that after the train to school starts, sometimes the adults will stop here for a while and take advantage of this opportunity to chat with each other.
This kind of temporary gathering of parents became more and more large-scale after Anton gradually brought changes to the world.
Sometimes it can be effective socializing.
Sometimes it was fights that gave Aurors a huge headache.
For example, the last lively impromptu parents' gathering ended with Mr. Weasley punching Mr. Malfoy down, which made other parents talk about it for a long time. Mr. Weasley stood proudly with panda eyes and his free and easy attitude.
Action once became everyone's talk after dinner.
Everyone even laughed and made bets, discussing which one of Mr. Weasley or Mr. Malfoy would win the final victory in the fight in the new semester.
But when the school year started in September this year, everyone had no such interest.
The atmosphere seemed a bit gloomy, with a vague sense of inexplicable restlessness.
These parents already know what happened in New York, whether they were involved or not.
Gilderoy Lockhart, editor-in-chief of "Hogwarts Weekly", and Rita Skeeter, reporter of "Daily Prophet", each used different angles to tell everyone about all the wonderful details.
Voldemort's death cannot dispel the haze covering the sky. No one knows when this powerful mysterious man will return again.
when....
It will pop out mischievously and unexpectedly, surprising everyone.
At least many people know that Voldemort's group of Death Eaters are now entrenched in the United States, far away from the European continent, and have begun to cooperate with Muggle official forces.
This is a serious violation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy!
But no one dared to stand up and correct this practice. Many people were even happy to see this scene. Death Eaters were doing some terrible things unscrupulously on the American continent.
Muggles died there every day, but there were only bland accusations in newspapers and periodicals, which did not have any effect.
Yes, let alone Voldemort being defeated by Anthony Weasley, or Voldemort being outrageously defeated by the savior Harry Potter, as long as the Dark Lord whose name no one dares to say is not dead, the deterrence will still be the same.
horrible.
As for the Ministry of Magic in various countries, the faction criticized by newspapers as "short-sighted" is having a fierce quarrel with the faction criticized as "eager to cause war and death."
They were just noisy and had no way of responding in any useful way.
At this time, everyone finally remembered Albus Dumbledore, the 'greatest wizard of this century', who was arbitrarily slandered in newspapers and occasionally threatened with expulsion from his position as headmaster. We hoped that he could stand up
Come out and lead everyone.
pity.....
There is not only Voldemort in this world, but also Gellert Grindelwald.
Grindelwald, who escaped from prison at Nurmengard Castle, finally officially appeared in front of everyone to replace the missing Karkaroff as the headmaster of Durmstrang. Such explosive news emerged.
"Be wary of Grindelwald's influence in Durmstrang!" The reporter interviewed Dumbledore, and this old man who looked a little old and tired said this.
Lockhart, the editor-in-chief of "Hogwarts Weekly", wrote in an interview: This old man is burning the last light of his life for the wizarding world, actively organizing manpower to deal with the mysterious man and his forces, and also fighting against Grindelwald and
His power will also lead Anthony Weasley in the school to take the right path...
"What reason do we have to accuse such a great man!"
Lockhart talked about this in the report, feeling very sad, and his words were full of confusion about the future.
confused
Lockhart is not alone.
Lucius was one of them. He stared blankly in the direction of the train bound for Hogwarts, and his eyes seemed to still be stuck on the scene of Draco and Anton talking and laughing.
Many people secretly envy the Malfoy family's extensive connections. It seems that no matter which force wins in the end, the Malfoy family can still stand firm.
But in fact, only Lucius himself knew that he had no choice at all.
When the Dark Lord Voldemort returns, he will have to offer his loyalty again. If he hesitates a little, he will face death immediately, and there will be no other possibilities.
Does the master know that he has served Dumbledore and Grindelwald? Does the master know that he has served Anton?
Of course I know.
If you know it and don't care about it, you don't even scold him. That means you are really using Lucius as a tool. When it is no longer useful, it will almost be the day when he dies tragically.
What's more, he continues to provide intelligence to Dumbledore and maintain the 'Mysterious Power' website for Grindelwald...
It's not that he really wants to step into a few boats, but the Malfoy family is so fat that every big boss wants to take a bite.
Lucius could even guess that he would be eaten alive after he was eaten and wiped clean.
"I hope Draco can enter the hut." That's all he wanted now...
Perhaps in this chaotic situation, only Anthony Weasley can protect Draco.
"Alas~"
Lucius sighed and was about to turn around and leave. He took two steps and suddenly walked back backwards.
At a corner on the station platform, he saw Pedro the Goblin and Vernon Dursley, the Muggle.
What can these two people talk about? Pedro the Goblin seems to be seeking the equal rights of goblins to live. Vernon Dursley, an ambitious Muggle, is always against Dudley, the 'first Muggle squib'.
The two names of father and uncle of the savior Harry Potter once hung out with the goblins of Gringotts.

Lucius remembered that meeting of the International Federation of Wizards, where Dumbledore wore the heads of some Gringotts goblin leaders and completely declared the obedience of those greedy bankers.
Vernon Dursley seems to be cooperating with the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. Those people are all members of the Order of Merlin.
This seems... to be a good opportunity? "Hahaha..."
A standard aristocratic smirk appeared on Lucius's face, and he slowly approached with a graceful step while leaning on a snake-headed stick. "Mr. Pedro, I think maybe we have some common topics to talk about."
As he said that, he looked at Vernon Dursley, "What do you think, Mr. Dursley?"
Vernon looked at Lucius excitedly. He knew that the pure-blood family seemed to be planning to support Dudley as a banner, and the one who chose to accept his stupid son was the Malfoy family. He couldn't help but bend down a lot. He was round and round.
His little eyes suddenly lit up, with a happy smile on his face, "Mr. Malfoy, you came just in time, Lucius, Dursley and Pedro
Maybe you can help with this."
Lucius raised his eyebrows, looked at Pedro the Elf, and asked politely, "Do you mind talking about it together?"
Pedro just blew out the smoke slowly, held the cigar between his thick fingers, looked at Vernon Dursley and Lucius Malfoy in silence, and smiled slightly, "Why not.
"
Human beings are always full of arrogance and prejudice against other species, and do not think about the knowledge of a hundreds-year-old goblin. They think they are strong and condescending, and their hearts are full of interests and calculations, but they don't know,
