The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

The Burrow.

When John and others returned from the Quidditch World Cup early the next morning.

Mrs. Weasley had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Thank goodness!"

She shouted in a tearful voice while hugging everyone hard.

While hugging John.

John could clearly feel her body shaking.

Obviously, after hearing about the incident in the Quidditch world, she had been on tenterhooks until now.

"I'm so worried!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet with the title "Horrifying Scenes at the Quidditch World Cup" and a flashing black and white photo of the Dark Mark hanging on a treetop.

"I knew it would be like this!"

Mr. Weasley took the newspaper and said with an ugly expression, "Look what's written on it! The Ministry of Magic is panicking...the criminals have not been caught...security is loose...dark wizards are at large...bringing to the country... Shame... who wrote this? Ah... of course it was her... Rita Skeeter."

"This person is very annoying!" Bill explained to John. "She is like a fly. As long as something goes wrong, she can smell the fishy smell. Then she will pounce on her and use sweet words to exaggerate the facts to attract attention! "

John nodded, indicating that he understood, and then comforted Mrs. Weasley and said:

"Mrs. Weasley, you don't have to be so sad, we are all fine."

Michelle also echoed:

"That's right! We also defeated the Death Eaters and saved a few poor people!"

It's okay if Michelle doesn't say anything.

At the mention of this matter, Mrs. Weasley exploded instantly.

She pulled Michelle and asked what was going on.

And when John and Michelle told the whole story, she couldn't bear it anymore and started crying.

John and others gathered around to comfort him for a long time before trying to persuade him.

But that didn't do much.

Because soon, Mr. Weasley was notified and was called to the Ministry of Magic for emergency overtime.

Also recalled was Bill from Gringotts.

As for Percy, he didn't come back with John and others at all.

He probably just stayed on site to assist with the work.

After they left, the atmosphere in the Burrow suddenly became depressing again.

Everyone was in a bad mood.

Especially Ron.

His wand was lost again.

"I just bought it not long ago!" Ron complained, rubbing his head, "Why am I always the unlucky one?"

George and Fred came over and suggested that Ron sell the mithril bat.

This way you can buy a good wand.

Ron refused.

Mrs. Weasley on the other side stopped crying.

Because she knows very well that now she is the only parent in the family, so she must support herself.

She comforted Ron, then wiped her tears and began to help everyone make lunch and help Charlie pack.

Charlie's vacation is almost over, and he will return to Romania in two days.

John had to admit that Mrs. Weasley was a very capable person.

The reason why the Weasley family has not been so depressed that they have to go begging for food as Lucius often said after all these years is entirely due to Mrs. Weasley.

Thanks to Mrs. Weasley's efforts, John and others spent the rest of the holiday peacefully and comfortably.

Mrs. Weasley even helped them prepare things for the new semester on her own.

On the first day of school, Mrs. Weasley personally escorted them to Station Nine and Three Quarters.

"Children, I sincerely hope you enjoy your stay at Hogwarts."

When leaving, Mrs. Weasley wished everyone including John, Michelle, and Harry.

But when it was George and Fred's turn, she said with a straight face:

"You two had better study hard. If you dare to fail my test again, you will be doomed!"

Hearing this, George and Fred both said yes.

But as soon as Mrs. Weasley turned her head, they started making faces at her back again.

Harry and Hermione laughed at this scene.

John and Michelle looked at each other and laughed too.

Mrs. Weasley made them feel really good.

It even vaguely reminded them of a nun.

"Woooooo-"

When the whistle sounded, Mrs. Weasley stopped nagging, rubbed her red eyes, and urged everyone to get in the car quickly.

John and Michelle took the initiative to hug her before walking towards the Hogwarts Express.

Harry, Ron and others also followed suit.

The train started, and looking at Mrs. Weasley's figure still standing on the platform, John took a deep breath and said to Michelle next to him:

"Perhaps we should prepare a present for Mrs. Weasley this Christmas."

"Of course! I'm going to give all my favorite candies to Mrs. Weasley!"

Michelle said categorically, and glared at Ron, "You are not allowed to steal any food after you go home, it all belongs to Mrs. Weasley!"

After experiencing so many things, Ron almost worshiped John.

Therefore, he naturally respects Michelle, John's sister.

I saw him beating his chest loudly and saying:

"Michelle, don't worry! Don't say it's me, even if it's Percy or even my dad who wants to eat those candies, I will stop him!"

Michelle was very satisfied with Ron's performance and promised to give him a small portion at Christmas.

This made Ron very happy.

While they were chatting, John was still thinking.

While Michelle wanted to give away her favorite things, John wanted to give Mrs. Weasley something more meaningful and useful to her.

This was a problem even for John.

After all, he couldn't just give something too expensive.

Otherwise, given Mrs. Weasley's character, she would never accept it.

While John was thinking, Draco's familiar voice suddenly came to his ears again.

"...The Dark Mark is the exclusive mark of the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters. Whenever a Death Eater kills someone, they will leave the Dark Mark on the body or above the house! In addition, every person killed by the Dark Lord Approved Death Eaters will also have the Dark Mark engraved on their arms! That is an honor..."

Draco's voice stopped abruptly.

Because he noticed John and others standing by the train window.

There was hardly any hesitation.

Draco abandoned the few Slytherins who were listening to his knowledge and rushed to John's side.

"John! Have you heard? Mad-Eye Moody seems to be coming to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts this year!"

Draco said eagerly.

His expression looked a little nervous, so much so that he ignored Harry, Ron and others who were standing next to John.

"Don't be nervous, Draco." John said calmly, "Calm down a little."

Draco shook his head vigorously and said:

"I can't calm down! That Mad-Eye Moody, he used to be an Auror, he had a lot of hatred towards my father and the others, and he even hated Slytherin because of it! If he really wants to come to Hogwarts, then We are all screwed!"

"You will be the only one who gets screwed," George and Fred said. "Moody won't do anything to John."

"Weasley! Do you think you can stay out of this?"

Draco blushed and said, "The news from my father is that Mad-Eye Moody has gone completely crazy! He doesn't care whether you are a good person or not! As long as you are pure blood, as long as you have the ability to hurt He will be on guard against his people, and he might even strike first! We simply..."

Draco seemed to be angry and spoke a lot incoherently, and finally shouted:

"Alastor Moody is a terrible fellow!"

As soon as he said this, John's brows also frowned.

There weren't many people who could push Draco into this just based on his reputation.

The most important thing is that this person doesn't seem to like their Slytherins very much?
