Everyone left their luggage with Moody, and they helped them to bring it to the station. When the door was slammed shut behind them, and Mrs. Black's scream was immediately silenced, everyone felt a sudden peace in their ears. They felt a lot more relaxed, and they were very happy to finally leave this place.
Under the faint September morning sun, they walked down the steps of No.12. As soon as they reached the sidewalk, the house disappeared!
"Where's Tonks?" Harry asked. "Why didn't I see her?"
In fact, they did not see any other guards this morning except for Moody and Lupin, who had not left the night before.
"She's waiting for us over there," Lady Weasley said grumpily. "We have to be careful."
"Other than her, no one else will show up. They'll disguise themselves and follow us in the dark," Lupin said gently. Lupin said gently. He was also wearing a Muggle costume. "This was the idea of Mad-Eye. Too many people would attract attention. We originally planned to set off in three teams, but there weren't that many guards."
"Disguise?" Harry suddenly thought of the Compound Decoction.
Not long ago, Elwyn had used the Compound Decoction to disguise himself as Gabri, which had greatly surprised him.
"Yes, this is a skill that Auror must master." Lupin said simply. "When fighting with Dark Wizards, it's very important not to show your true face."
They walked a few steps forward and saw an old lady greeting them at the corner of the street.
She had curly gray hair and wore a purple hat shaped like a pork pie.
If she had not greeted her, it would have been impossible to recognize her as Tonks.
"Good morning!" she said, blinking. "We have to hurry, don't we, Molly?"
"I know, I know!" Lady Weasley said with a sigh as she took bigger steps. "Mad Eye is still waiting for Stogy. Alas, if only Arthur could borrow a car from the Ministry, but Foggy won't even lend him an empty ink bottle recently. How can the Muggle bear traveling without magic?"
Elwyn did not know what happened to the portable swamp Fred and George had left under Percy's seat, but since the trial, Mr. Weasley's situation had obviously worsened. Foggy was forcing him to resign.
They walked for twenty minutes to reach Kings Cross Railway Station. Nothing serious happened on the way.
As soon as they entered the station, they pretended to wander nonchalantly by the wall between platform 9 and 10. When there was no one around, they leaned against the wall one by one and quietly crossed to the platform.
The Hogwarts Express was parked there, spewing black steam, and the platform was crowded with students and their families who were saying goodbye.
Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, and George all became excited. Breathing in the familiar smell, they felt as if their hearts were about to fly. They were going back to Hogwarts!
This year's summer vacation seemed to be particularly long, especially for Elwyn, who had not been at school for more than half a year.
When they appeared, the atmosphere on the bustling platform changed abruptly. Many people noticed them immediately.
Elwyn saw many Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students secretly pointing at him and saying something to their parents.
Most of Slytherin's people looked at them with hostile eyes and avoided them.
Even Gryffindor was full of disagreements. Some people avoided them in fear, while others directly came to greet them.
Only a small number of wizards came over. They supported Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, such as Neville and his grandmother.
She was very old. She wore a green robe, a fox scarf, and a tall hat with an eagle specimen on it. She looked very scary. She was one of the few people Elwyn had seen who could directly call Lord Voldemort by his name.
She clearly expressed her support for Elwyn and knew that the Order of the Phoenix had begun to act again!
The old lady's regret was that no one from the Lombardi family joined the Order of the Phoenix to fight against Lord Voldemort this time. She kept saying that Neville was too weak compared to Elwyn, Harry, and his father. She hoped that her grandson could become braver.
As before, Neville did not dare to refute his grandmother's words.
They stood talking for a while, until the train gave a long whistle and began to puff out white steam.
"I hope Arthur and Alastor can come in time," said Lady Weasley anxiously. "Ah, here they are!"
Mr. Weasley and Moody pushed a trolley full of boxes through the archway. Moody limped, a porter's hat pulled low over his asymmetrical eyes.
"Are you in trouble?"
"No!" said Mr. Weasley.
"Everything is fine!" Moody whispered to Lupin, Lady Weasley, and Tonks. "It seems that we're not being followed."
"That's good!" They hurriedly unloaded the luggage and put it on the train.
"This is too much. I'm going to complain to Dumbledore about Stogy," said Moody, seeming discontented. "This is the second time in a week that he hasn't shown up. How come this man has become as unreliable as the Mondungues?"
"Well, take care of yourselves," said Lupin, shaking hands with them one by one.
"The Hogwarts are a little different this year. Be careful, and keep an eye on Harry," he said softly, coming up to Elwyn.
"I know!" said Elwyn, raising his eyebrows. He hoped it would not be too boring to confront Umrich.
At last Lupin came up to Harry and patted him on the shoulder. "You too, Harry. Be careful."
"Yes, avoid trouble and be alert," said Moody. "Don't forget what I taught you last term, and don't forget, each of you, that you can't write everything in your letters. If you're not sure, don't write anything in your letters. In fact, I think you'd better not write to the outside world, especially to Sirius... "
"It's great to see you," said Tonks, hugging Hermione and Ginny. "We'll see each other again soon."
The whistle to remind everyone to board the train sounded again, and the students standing on the platform began to hurry to board the train.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Lady Weasley said distractedly, hugging them all. "Take care. If you forget anything, we'll send someone to bring it to you. All right, get on the train, hurry up! "
They hurried onto the train and waved their hands out of the open window.
Soon, Tonks, Lupin, Moody, Mr. Weasley, and Lady Weasley became smaller.
"School is finally back. What should we do now?"
"We have something to talk to Li about!" said Fred. "Elwyn, are you coming?"
"No, don't forget that Elwyn is the president of the Boy Student Union..." said Hermione.
"Yeah, yeah. See you guys later, Boss Boys!" Fred waved his hand.
