Chapter 477: A Relaxing Journey
Since that time, Zhang Qiu gradually reduced the number of times she went to the embassy, because Zhang Mingyuan would think of an excuse to give her time off from time to time. Clearly, if they couldn't probe for some intelligence from Harry, Zhang Qiu, the only disciple of the conservative faction, standing among the new and old radical factions made them quite uncomfortable.
For Harry, who identified with Daji's concept and advocated focusing on cultivating the Wizarding World, this was clearly a good thing. Because Zhang Qiu, who was bored at home, started to visit the photo studio and provide some small help, and Harry followed her many times. Hogsmeade was still in a quiet and peaceful state, which completely met his expectations for this year.
Finally, the day of school opening was approaching, and Harry finally saw the OWL report card that Eve had hidden for nearly two months under Luo En's reminder.
"A, A, A, all A's, here is an E, then A, A, A again, and there's a P?" Harry was so angry his face turned red. "Do you know that this means you can hardly participate in any advanced courses, and you will be idle for your entire sixth year?"
"At least I passed," Eve said, twisting her fingers. "And I'm not idle; I have a career direction."
"What direction? All passing grades; it's hard to find a good job with that, right?"
"I'm preparing to be a noble lady," she said. "So I spent a lot of effort trying to marry Luo En."
The extreme red heat broke through Occlumency, and Harry even started to grow a belt.
Zhang Qiu gently touched Harry, who was about to explode with anger, trying to calm him down, and then whispered, "At least you passed, right? Being a clerical worker in the Ministry of Magic in the future, or being a reporter is also good. You will need a mouthpiece."
Finally, amidst the noise, they packed their luggage and stood on the platform of King's Cross Station. Harry watched Zhang Qiu whispering to Eve constantly and presenting a thick notebook, his heart full of helplessness—although Zhang Qiu claimed to be a master of emotion, Harry believed she only used the convenience of fate and divination. He didn't know how much of her advice on pursuing Luo En would be useful. Perhaps it was not as reliable as Tang Mu; at least that person really relied on emotional intelligence to cheat the diadem, the golden cup, and the locket, which were achievements that could be checked.
Luo En and Jin Ni also became the only two people from the Wei Silai family to board the train. Harry recalled with some nostalgia their first meeting on this platform. At that time, a noisy group of redheads left a very deep impression on him, but this year, only he, she, and Mrs. Mo Li were left here. The others in the family had their own things to be busy with.
"Oh, good children." Mrs. Mo Li stepped forward to give Harry a hug, and then went to hug Eve. "One less time each time you come; you won't have to go to school next year anyway."
"Yes, time flies, youth is gone." Harry nodded with emotion. "At least this year will be the quietest year; there won't be any mysterious person or anything else. We can finally take a good look at this school."
"There is a different kind of difficulty this year, Harry." Luo En said seriously. "We don't have a Seeker again."
Harry looked up in despair, then shook his head. "Take it one step at a time, or..."
"I'll be the Seeker!" Eve raised her hand high. She remembered the "Quidditch, Quidditch, and Quidditch" that Zhang Qiu had written in bold red letters in the strategy guide.
"You don't fly fast in level flight, your turns aren't precise, your positioning is loose, your reaction is slow, and not a single movement looks like anything," Harry's dissatisfied gaze swept from her to Zhang Qiu. "And you still want to be a Seeker? Keep dreaming!"
Two dissatisfied gazes fell back on Harry, but fortunately, the two players opposite him expressed secret support for him, so he hummed with great confidence and picked up the box to board the train first.
After walking into the carriage, Harry bought all the snacks again, expressing his nostalgia for the first year. Luo En also said with a smile, "Do you remember? At that time, I was eating a sandwich, and just then, Zhang Qiu suddenly opened the door, and then... broke into your life."
"Yes, I remember I was unwrapping a chocolate frog at the time, and then I was interrupted," Harry said, picking up a chocolate frog. "She's not here this time, so I can finish it completely."
"Let's see whose card it is." Luo En leaned over.
A pair of bright emerald green eyes, black and messy hair, and a deliberately exposed slender lightning-shaped scar.
The back of the card read: Harry Potter, Star of Salvation. Many wizards believe that he will eventually become the Minister of Magic, because he defeated the Dark Lord, collected the Deathly Hallows, obtained all the knowledge of Grindelwald and Deng Buliduo, and possesses invincible Super-Wizard power. He likes to attend balls and Quidditch matches.
"Why didn't anyone make a card for me?" Luo En said sourly.
"There is one, I saw one last time," Jin Ni said seriously. "But it says Luo Nade Wei Silai, I suspect it's a pirated version."
After experiencing so much, Harry already had a state of mind of being indifferent to favor or humiliation. He stuffed the card into his pocket at will and then began to chew the chocolate frog.
At this moment, the door of the compartment opened, and Na Wei scanned the inside. He saw the legs of the chocolate frog jumping by Harry's mouth at a glance.
"Aha, you are here," he greeted, leaning against the door. "Any plans for this year? Want to plan a level-breaking game?"
Harry suddenly remembered that in the first year, Na Wei replaced him to participate in that level-breaking game. At that time, he was also chewing a chocolate frog.
"Like Avalon?" Luo En said casually. "By the way, Na Wei, what are your plans? I mean after graduation?"
"Before this, I might have said I wanted to be an Auror," Na Wei said. "But now, I think it's better to stay at school, because I suddenly remembered Deng Buliduo's will. He said he authorized me to use Gryffindor's sword until I leave Hogwarts."
"You don't have to leave Hogwarts if you become a professor, but what do you plan to teach? Herbology?"
"Yes, that's what I imagined my post-war life to be like, and Hanna will also stay here. She is preparing to take over for Madam Pomfrey."
"By the way, where is Hemin?" Eve asked. "She is also a prefect, but didn't she come with you?"
"She is seizing every minute and every second to read and prepare for exams," Na Wei said with some sympathy. "Reading A-something, the one from the Muggle world."
"A-Level, where A is the highest grade," Eve said.
Harry clenched his fists again, but he didn't tear it down, just hummed and looked out the window. The rural scenery flew by in his line of sight, and forests and hills began to gradually replace the fields, exactly the same as every time before.
After Na Wei left, the next person to push open the compartment door was Delake. But unlike Na Wei's ease and joy, his face was filled with confusion.
"Harry, so glad to see you here," he said. "Will anything happen next?"
"Nothing will happen, next—" Harry looked at his somewhat confused face with some surprise. At this time, Pan Xi leaned over from behind, so Harry said with a very bad taste, "Next you can kiss the bride."
Pan Xi blushed, but Delake's expression was still as confused. "I mean, what will happen to the Wizarding World? For us who possess power, is there any chance and reason to fight?"
"You can still go to the Room of Requirement on Saturday, and then I'll beat you up again," Luo En pretended to be very serious.
"No, no," Delake ignored the retort, he just maintained that posture and said blankly, "And our huge network of relationships, after leaving school... I suddenly wondered, what exactly did I do in the past few years? Why does it seem like nothing has any meaning?"
"Life doesn't always have to pursue meaning. If you haven't decided on your dream, then cherish the person in front of you first," Harry skillfully threw out a piece of chicken soup. "As for Torchwood, aren't there still veterans? Just let them pay attention to absorbing a few newcomers this year."
Eve looked at Pan Xi with some envy. She could always receive Harry's divine assists, while she could only receive Harry's tasks.
After sending away another pair of old acquaintances, Harry continued to sit in the carriage and reminisce about the past, while Eve began to unwrap his snacks and handed Luo En half a piece from time to time, until Jin Ni interrupted her with dissatisfaction.
"Can you not do it in front of me?" she said with a worried face. "Sigh, I'm still worried about not finding a boy I like."
"Is Dean Thomas not okay?" Luo En said with half a pumpkin pie in his mouth, indistinctly. "Last time I saw you chatting quite well."
"Just a substitute Chaser. In the worst case, I have to pull him up, and then I'll go find the ball," Jin Ni sighed.
"What about Michael Corner?" Eve asked. "The marriage Zhang Qiu divined for you."
Jin Ni shook her head like a rattle. "Divination, even dogs don't learn it."
"Perhaps you can set your sights on the lower grades," Luo En suggested. "What about Colin?"
"Or the Muggle world, you've seen a lot, just those at the ball," Eve also offered another suggestion.
Jin Ni was silent and said nothing. Clearly, she didn't like any of them.
"It seems these are the two major things to do this year," Harry summarized. "Find a Seeker for the team, find a boyfriend for Jin Ni. Of course, if you are lucky, these two things can be combined into one."
"And my job!" Eve hinted obscurely.
Right, that ideal position of yours, noble lady, Harry agreed helplessly. At this moment, one competitor is concentrating on preparing for exams, and the other competitor is far away in a foreign country. What a great opportunity to pick up leaks. ===== CHAPTER 478 =====
