Chapter 843

"Hey!"

Percy's face turned green with anger.

Fred and George ignored him, constantly dancing around Xiang Xien.

They talked for a while about what new alchemical creations were in Egypt, then discussed the possibility of selling them in the UK, and finally begged Xiang Xien to study with them.

Xiang Xien was very interested in this.

Others wanted to lean in to listen, but after hearing a sentence or two, they left with a headache.

"Let's discuss it next time, dears,"

Mrs. Wei Silai pulled away the two Weasleys who were almost hanging on Xiang Xien,

"Mr. Green, so glad to see you here."

"Mom! You're going to compete with us for the great Green—"

Fred winked at George, and George, as if he had just seen her, grabbed her hand and said,

"Mom, it's heart-warming to see you—"

"You two, enough—"

Mrs. Wei Silai said, placing her purchases on an empty chair and looking at the twins and the empty seat.

The twins' lips drooped, and they sat obediently in the chairs.

"Come here—dear, why have you lost so much weight—you must come to the Burrow for a few days, I have to feed you up—"

Mrs. Wei Silai said, pulling Xiang Xien into her arms, and the ginger Crookshanks jumped onto Mrs. Wei Silai's shoulder, scratching her face with its tail fur.

When Xiang Xien finally struggled free, he saw Mrs. Wei Silai pulling the young wizards over, examining them one by one, talking constantly.

Until Mr. Wei Silai coughed gently, and Mo Li reluctantly gave up tormenting the young wizards.

"Hello, dear children. I think you must have heard our big news?"

She pointed to the brand-new silver badge on Percy's chest.

"The second Head Boy in the family!"

She said, her pride overflowing.

"And the last one."

Fred muttered to Xiang Xien in a low voice.

They sat on Xiang Xien's left and right, like bodyguards, squeezing Jia Siting and Hermione away.

At this moment, Hermione was still glaring at George.

"I have no doubt about that."

Mrs. Wei Silai suddenly frowned,

"I noticed they didn't choose you two as prefects."

"Why would we want to be prefects?"

George said, as if the thought alone made him sick,

"It would make life so joyless."

Jin Ni giggled.

"You must set a good example for your sister!"

Mrs. Wei Silai said sternly.

"Jin Ni has other brothers to set an example for her, Mom."

Percy said haughtily,

"I'm going upstairs to change, getting ready for dinner..."

He left, and George breathed a sigh of relief.

"We wanted to lock him in a pyramid,"

he said to Xiang Xien,

"but Mom found out."

"That's a real pity."

Fred's eyebrows drooped, as if an egg were hanging from them.

The lunch gathering was very pleasant. The pub landlord Tom pushed three tables together in the hall, and the seven Weasleys and five of Xiang Xien's group enjoyed the ten delicious dishes.

Before leaving, Xiang Xien took a final sip of sweet pumpkin juice, put down his cup with satisfaction, and pondered what to do in the final stage of the summer holidays.

The most important thing, of course, was Slytherin's locket; he planned to destroy it with the Sword of Gryffindor, which meant he had to return to Hogwarts.

The timing was just right; his week-long holiday was about to end.

Secondly, regarding the remodeling of magic, its difficulty coefficient was extremely high, requiring the remodeling of the 【Order】 within the wizard and finding the corresponding 【Wisdom】 in the external nature;

but the harvest was also immense; this was the only way Xiang Xien could quickly master ancient magic.

That's right, remodeled magic could bring wizards powerful and arbitrary power; this power had appeared in wizard history, which was ancient magic.

Finally, Xiang Xien's Fiendfyre spell was already 【Skilled】; when he reached the master level, a new title would be unlocked.

As for Sirius Black and Scabbers...

Customers in the Leaky Cauldron occasionally made indistinct sounds, and Xiang Xien and the others walked through the corridor outside the private rooms.

Suddenly, Luo En slapped his head:

"My medicine! Rat Tonic! I forgot to take it!"

"Luo En, where is my Head Boy badge?!"

Percy also suddenly rushed down the stairs; he was staying in the same room as Luo En.

"How would I know, I haven't even seen it! I should be asking you where my Rat Tonic went!"

Luo En roared.

The two argued in a mess.

Jia Siting and Hermione hurriedly went up to break up the fight.

And to end their dispute, Xiang Xien also slipped away silently:

"I'll go help look for it."

"I'll go with you."

Harry said hurriedly.

The two had only walked halfway when they suddenly heard angry voices from a private room, and they soon realized it was Mr. and Mrs. Wei Silai.

"... not telling Harry is wrong."

Mr. Wei Silai said with intense emotion,

"Harry has a right to know. I wanted to persuade Fudge, but he insists on treating Harry like a child.

Harry is thirteen years old, he—"

Xiang Xien saw Harry stop in his tracks involuntarily.

"Arthur, the truth will scare him to death!"

Mrs. Wei Silai screamed,

"That danger is always there, do you really want Harry to go back to school with that kind of shadow in his heart?

For heaven's sake, he would be happier in the dark."

"I don't want to make him sad, I just want him to be on guard!"

Mr. Wei Silai retorted sternly,

"You know Harry! He often wanders around by himself—even running into the Forbidden Forest!

Harry must not do that this semester! I can't imagine what danger he would have encountered when he escaped from home that night!

If the Knight Bus hadn't picked him up, I'm sure he would have been dead long before the Ministry found him."

"But he didn't die, he's fine, what's the need—"

"Mo Li, they say Sirius Black is crazy, maybe he really is crazy, but he actually had the ability to escape from Azkaban, which everyone thought was impossible.

It's been a month now, and no one has seen his shadow.

I don't care what Fudge tells the 'Daily Prophet' every day, we have made no progress in arresting Black, just like inventing a self-spelling wand.

Only one thing we can be sure of: Black is looking for—"

"But Harry is absolutely safe at Hogwarts."

"We thought Azkaban was absolutely safe too. Since Black could escape from Azkaban, he must have the ability to break into Hogwarts."

"But no one can be truly sure Black is looking for Harry—"

Thud, the sound of something hitting wood; Xiang Xien guessed it must have been Mr. Wei Silai hitting the table with his fist.

"Mo Li, how many times do I have to tell you? The newspaper didn't report it because Fudge wanted to keep a lid on it, but Fudge went to Azkaban the night Black escaped.

The guards told Fudge that for a long time, Black had been talking in his sleep, repeating the same sentence over and over:

'He's at Hogwarts... He's at Hogwarts.'

Black is deranged, Mo Li, he wants Harry's life.

If you ask me, he thinks killing Harry will make You-Know-Who rise again.

The night Harry stopped You-Know-Who, Black lost everything, he spent twelve years alone in Azkaban, pondering this all day..."

Immediately, the room fell into silence.

Beside Xiang Xien, Harry stood motionless, his mouth wide open.
