For the exchange students who were about to leave Hogwarts, even the air was filled with the joy of anticipation and the melancholy of their friends and family who were temporarily away from the academy.
After breakfast, Harry hurried to Gryffindor Tower, grabbed his bag and textbooks, put on his cloak, and rushed down the stairs. Harry wanted to find Allen before he left and say goodbye to him.
"Harry." Lupin stopped him when he rushed to the hall.
"Professor Lupin." Harry stopped.
"The Defense Against Black Magic class isn't in this direction." Lupin winked at Harry.
"Professor, I want to see Allen off. I won't take too long." Harry originally wanted to rush back before class, but now that Lupin mentioned it, Harry took the opportunity to ask for leave.
"I understand how you feel, Harry, but I'm sorry." Lupin was a little embarrassed, but after taking a deep breath, he still said it under Harry's puzzled gaze, "Family Harris has been very close to Fudge and the others recently. This exchange program is said to be the result of their cooperation. Harry, you haven't learned Brain Seal, and Allen is a master of mind control, so Dumbledore hopes that you try not to have too much contact with Allen before the return of Lord Voldemort is confirmed. At the very least, don't meet him face to face. Also, please don't reveal too much even if it's through letters. You know, after your trial and your godfather, Sirius, and Dumbledore's big quarrel, some information about the Order of the Phoenix didn't hide from you. If Fudge and the others know about this, it'll be very bad for us. "
Looking at Harry, who nodded after hesitating for a while, Lupin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. In fact, Dumbledore told them that he suspected Harry and Lord Voldemort were in contact, and that they might find out some information that the other party saw. Dumbledore was actually afraid that this information would be used by Harris and the others. Whether it was informing Fudge or them acting on their own initiative, it could change the prophecy. After Harry's trial, Dumbledore no longer forced them to not contact Harry as much as he did at the beginning of the summer vacation. Instead, he asked them to be careful that the information they revealed in front of Harry must be unimportant or even fake. Although Lupin felt bad for deceiving Harry, for these reasons and his trust in Dumbledore, he still decided to do as Dumbledore said.
When Allen rushed to the lakeside according to the location Mr. Harris told him, a loud and strange sound floated towards them from the lake. It was a kind of suppressed rumbling and sucking sound, like a huge vacuum cleaner moving along the riverbed …
There was a commotion under the water in the middle of the lake. Huge splashes appeared on the surface of the water, and the waves hit the wet lakeside. Then, in the middle of the lake, a big whirlpool appeared, as if a huge plug was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the lake …
A mast slowly rose from the center of the whirlpool … and the sails and rigging gradually rose …
"Harris, I'm sorry that you have to go to Demstrand." Dumbledore's voice sounded behind Allen.
"Professor Dumbledore." Allen looked away from the center of the lake and turned around. "Do you remember our conversation when I was in third grade?"
"A deal of equal value is necessary. No one can achieve their goal without paying any price." Dumbledore's memory of Allen's tone and appearance when he said this sentence suddenly jumped out of his memory.
"Harris, leaving Hogwarts to learn new knowledge in a new environment is something to look forward to." Dumbledore paused. "But you have to be careful when you go to Demstrand. My friend in the International Union of Magicians told me that one of the two vice-principals of Demstrand, Carson Monte, and some of the school board members behind him are very dissatisfied with the big moves made by Kakarov and you, Harris, last year."
"Thank you, Principal Dumbledore. I'll be careful." Since Dumbledore wanted to show his goodwill, Allen did not need to be hostile, even if Dumbledore knew that he had a way to know about this matter. At least, he could not show this in front of Dumbledore.
"Take care of the other students." Dumbledore did not wait for Allen's response and walked to the shore.
Allen had already learned about this situation from Kakarov through the sensory imprint. According to Kakarov, although Monte was also a professor in the dueling class, his strength was only slightly stronger than the average wizard. Therefore, Allen did not pay too much attention to it. Allen wanted to help his family consolidate their power in Demstrand.
Slowly, in an extraordinary manner, the big ship rose out of the water and began to move toward the shore. A moment later they heard a splash as an anchor was thrown into the shallow water, and then a splat as a plank was placed on the shore.
Dumbledore greeted the people of Demstrand who were coming ashore from the ship. Allen, the exchange students, and some of the entourage began to gather under the guidance of a middle-aged man wearing a thick fur cloak.
Allen once again hugged his family who came to see him off. Finally, he hugged Hermione, whose nose was still a little red, and whispered in her ear, "Take care."
After that, Allen felt a weight on his shoulder. Something grabbed his shoulder, and then he heard Hermione say, "Let Cotton follow you for the time being. Thunderbirds are highly sensitive to danger. At least he will make me feel more at ease."
Mr. Xenophilus Lovegood handed a thick roll of parchment to Luna. "Perhaps you can read these manuscripts of 'Singing Devil' to pass the time on the ship."
He then looked at Allen, who was saying goodbye to his family and friends not far away, and said, "If Allen Harris has any ill intentions toward you, cast a curse on him."
But on second thought, Mr. Lovegood thought of Demstrand's reputation and was a little worried. "Other than in Hogwarts, you have never been so far away from Dad. In Demstrand, you'd better not leave Allen's sight. "
Luna took the parchment and flipped through it. "Dad, there are a lot of annoying flies around you."
Hearing that, Mr. Lovegood raised his hand and waved it around his head, as if to drive away the annoying flies. Finally, he hugged Luna tightly for a long time before turning to leave.
Behind the father and daughter, Narcissa Malfoy's face was pale, her long blonde hair draped over her back. She held Malfoy's wrist with her slender fingers, and handed a stuffed leather bag to Malfoy with her other hand. "Your father can't come to see you off, but we have stuffed this bag with gold coins. Remember to keep it well. You can always make friends over there if you are generous."
"You are a pureblood, so you shouldn't be discriminated against. You should interact more with those followers of Allen who go under the name of the Ministry of Magic. Be more generous. But don't provoke others easily. "Thinking of Demstrand's reputation, Narcissa reminded him worriedly.
When Mr. Xenophilus Lovegood passed by Allen, he rubbed his hands, hesitated for a moment, and continued to walk. After two or three steps, he suddenly turned back and ran all the way to Allen.
"Director Xenophilus?" Allen had tried to use Mind Capture to probe his thoughts, but although he did not master Brain Seal, Allen could only obtain some disorganized thoughts, not knowing whether it was because his mind was naturally chaotic or he was wearing some protective equipment, so he could only ask.
Allen's hand was held by Mr. Lovegood. "Allen, don't let her be wronged."
After saying that, he seemed to realize that his words might cause a misunderstanding. "Oh no, I mean, don't let Demstrand and the others bully her."
The captain of the Umbrella Squad, Wolf Mother Ramona Rohir, who had been following behind Allen, took a step forward and bowed to them. "Please forgive my rude interruption. Master Allen has arranged for us to look after Miss Luna at all times in the future. Mr. Lovegood, my daughter is only a few years younger than Miss Luna. We get along very well, please rest assured.
