HP through the autumn

Chapter 63 Holiday

In mid-July, when Qiu and her father's cod dispute had just begun to heat up, a strange owl sent her OWLS exam results and a letter from Professor Dumbledore.

Galois was very wary of this strange owl, and he always believed that he should be responsible for all the letters of this family.The owl from Hogwarts turned a blind eye to Galois, and he landed on the dining table and drank the water in the glass casually.

"My dear daughter, are you going to be expelled because of your poor grades?" Father Zhang said while holding up Dumbledore's letter. "Otherwise, why would Principal Dumbledore write to you himself?"

"Father!" She jumped up and took the letter from his hands, "Maybe it was Principal Dumbledore who wrote to ask you to be a qualified parent and not to grab cod from your daughter!"

"Then how is your OWLS?" He looked anxiously at the report card in her hand, "If you can't find a job in the future, you can work for me and your mother. We will provide food and housing for you every month. One Nat, only one thing: don't take cod from me."

"I'm sure I can find a job." She opened her OWLS report card, trembling with nervousness, and almost threw the letter on the ground. "Let me see! Not bad, I played normally."

She proudly handed the report card to her father, and waved it in front of him: it was all 'O's except History of Magic, which had an 'E'.

"It seems that your mother and I don't have to worry about you not being able to find a job and staying at home." Father Zhang said happily, "What was written in that letter?"

"Don't let me go to Harry for the time being," she said after reading the letter at a glance. "He is protected by a group of people now. And don't say important things in the letter to him, lest the letter be seen by others."

Both her and her father's expressions became serious.

"We discussed this topic before," Zhang's father said, "Your mother and I believe that you are not a child who can lie, and the mysterious man may have returned."

She still remembered that the last time they discussed this topic, she suggested that he and his mother could move to live with grandparents first, and come back when the situation was safer.

She was very afraid that Voldemort would target her parents because of Harry's relationship with her. Thinking of Sirius who fell into the veil of the Ministry of Magic, she insisted that both parents leave England.

Once, for a brief moment, she wondered if her parents would not have had to go to such lengths to move out of England if she hadn't been with Harry.But this thought was thrown out of her mind in a blink of an eye - what should come will always come, Voldemort and the Death Eaters will always start to act wantonly after a period of dormancy, and it is better to leave England early.

Fortunately, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother agreed to move out of the UK temporarily.The chaos in England when Voldemort came to power more than ten years ago is still vivid to them. People die or disappear every day. Even if they return home, they must first prove that they are not fake Death Eaters who used compound soup.

"You can transfer to Beauxbatons. Your grandparents don't want to leave. Your mother and I can be their secret keeper and hide them. It's safe." Father Zhang said, "That's what we did more than ten years ago. .Your mother and I can go find a job over there in Western Europe."

She didn't express her attitude last time, she just asked her parents to prepare for the procedures needed to leave, but today this issue can no longer be avoided.

"I want to stay," she said, looking into her father's eyes.

"If the mysterious man returns, Britain will become very dangerous." Father Zhang sat up straight, "Everyone is afraid that the Dark Mark will appear over their homes, because it will mean that the Death Eaters have killed everyone at home." Everyone. The cruelty of war is beyond your imagination, and Hogwarts may not be able to protect you."

"I know..." She found herself unable to find a convincing reason to stay in England.

"Is it because of your boyfriend Potter?" Father Zhang asked tentatively.

"Not all," she said, "somebody's gotta stand up against You-Know-Who, isn't there? Someone's gotta be a warrior."

"But me and your mother hope that's not you," he said. "We just want you to be safe."

"I also hope you are safe," she hugged her father tightly, "but there are always things that people have to do in life, and I swear that I will protect myself."

The father and daughter had several in-depth discussions on whether to leave Hogwarts, and the entire second half of July was spent in discussions.Finally she convinced her father and they decided to move abroad after sending her to school in September.

She didn't know what method her father used to persuade her mother to let her agree to stay in Hogwarts and continue her studies.The price she paid for this was to promise her father that she would never steal cod from him again...

"Then how are you going to visit us during Christmas and summer vacation?" Mom asked worriedly.

"I can stay in school this Christmas break," she said confidently. "By summer break, I've already learned how to apparate. I'll be 17 soon, and I can fly across the channel on a broomstick." Apparate to find you."

"Are you sure you won't be blown by the sea wind to places like Iceland?" Father Zhang despaired of her unreliable suggestion.

"Then I'll sneak into the Muggles and find you through Muggles?" She suggested another plan.

"The Muggle way is a good idea...but are you familiar with the Muggle way of transport? Flying in a little box?"

"Don't worry, it's fine, if not, I'll secretly use a confusion spell," she said confidently.

Her parents looked at each other. Anyway, her daughter is almost an adult, and she can always find a suitable method: "Remember to use the double-sided mirror to contact us when the time comes."

Because of Professor Dumbledore's instructions, she could only write to tell Harry that she couldn't see him for the time being. On his birthday, she gave him a greeting card and a cake, as usual.

"He's going to explode," she wrote to Hermione. "I'm sure Harry will be even more manic than the Hungarian Horntail last term when we meet him. He doesn't like to be lied to." especially with so much going on at the end of last term."

"Hope he calms down when school starts," Hermione wrote back, "Hedwig pecked me and Ron so much that we had to hide, she pecked us both on the hands and heads several times. We're sure Harry told her to make us write him long letters when he sent her the letter. How are you? Did Hedwig fly to your house to see you?"

"She did come, but she didn't peck me. I guess Harry understood that if he let Hedwig peck me, I'd learn to beat him. Professor Dumbledore wrote to me not to say Important things." So she had to write some interesting things in life to tell Harry, telling him what happened to her recently when she was studying magic, such as "accidentally" letting the broom chase Galois and make the house messy run. "Harry's reply was a little absent-minded. He must really want to know what happened recently."

On a hot summer day in early August, Galois brought back bad news from Hermione.

"Harry was asked by the Ministry of Magic to come to them for trial because he used magic outside the school. It is said that he encountered a dementor. In a few days, Principal Dumbledore will have someone take Harry from Privet Drive to where Ron and I are. place."

Bad news, she thought.Hermione and Ron are about to face a particularly angry Hungarian Horntail.

"Thank you," she patted Galois' head, and he dodged impatiently, still remembering the last time she let the broom chase him.

She stroked Galois' feathers again. Fortunately, Galois didn't know that she secretly took pictures last time.

It’s no longer fun to let the broom at home sweep by itself, she’s now obsessed with commanding the broom and dancing while sweeping, which she learned from a book called "Making You Love Household Magic".Ballet, tango, jazz, waltz, she danced with the broom while playing music.

The last time Galois was dancing ballet, she was attracted by the broom jumping around at home, so she directed the broom and followed him to dance a section of four little swans.Galois didn't have the ability to appreciate the graceful dance of the broom at all. Instead, he was so frightened that he flapped his wings and ran around the house, shaking off the feathers all over the ground.The broom saw something on the ground that needed to be cleaned, and chased Galois even tighter.

She can still clearly recall the chaotic scene of that day. Galois' terrified cries and Tchaikovsky's melodious "Swan Lake" echoed in the house.Galois flew crazily in front, sweeping everything on the table to the ground, while the broom gracefully danced ballet at the back, twirling and chasing Galois all the way, from the living room to the kitchen, and from the kitchen to the bedroom.

Wherever it reaches, feathers fly and things fall, but the broom is still elegant and light.

What an unforgettable scene.

She took the opportunity to take a few more photos of Galois, and planned to keep them for Hedwig to see later. She especially liked the photos of Galois taken by Qiu.

Of course, everyone except Galois would love to see pictures of Galois being chased by a broom.

Her dad would read what was said in the Daily Prophet every day and was keen to read her what it said about Harry.

"Your boyfriend is in the papers again." Dad poked his head out of the living room. "He's been in the Daily Prophet lately, and the papers haven't been very good about him. He seems to be always So many disasters, do you think he is unlucky?"

She felt that what her father said made sense: "It seems to be like this! It's always him who is unlucky."

"Although your mother and I don't want to interfere with your freedom of love, you can consider changing to a boyfriend with better luck." Dad's voice continued to come from the living room.

"I'll think about it," she said perfunctorily.
