Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

Harry struggled to unfold the crumpled map and began to search for it by pointing at the densely covered route map.

After a while, he said happily: "I know! Let's take bus No. 17 first, then take the subway from here, and then..."

Amanda shrugged. While Harry was looking at the crumpled map, she had already written a letter to Draco.

-Dear Draco:

- Harry got into some trouble - it's a long story, his Muggle aunt insulted him, causing Harry's magic to go out of control and blow up his aunt, the Dursleys got mad, so Harry had to run away from home with his things and found the Dawes Orphanage where I was.

We are going to Diagon Alley now - I am going to find him a room in the Leaky Cauldron, if that is convenient, can he stay at your house? If so, please go to the Leaky Cauldron to pick him up.

-Amanta

She tied the letter to Hedwig's feet and found some bread crumbs to feed her.

Hedwig, the beautiful snowy owl, flapped her wings happily, and after pecking at the bread crumbs, she flew into the sky.

Then, Amanta put Harry's large suitcase and owl cage into the Sage's Ring. She listened to Harry's description of the route and walked with him towards the bus stop for bus No. 17.

In fact, she was somewhat curious about the Knight Bus, which was claimed to be "an emergency transport for wizards in distress."

To be honest, she wanted to try to call the Knight Bus so that they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of finding the bus stop and changing buses to get to the Muggle location of the Leaky Cauldron.

But risking a spell, even one that only caused Lumos to flicker, on a Muggle-filled street could result in them receiving a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic.

So she gave up on it and sought safe Muggle transportation instead.

Fortunately, it didn't take them too long to reach the Leaky Cauldron.

Of course, the Leaky Cauldron wasn't marked on any maps, so it was completely invisible to Muggles, but the street it was on wasn't too difficult to find.

As soon as they pushed open the door of the Leaky Cauldron, they saw Fudge standing at the bar with a tired look on his face, chatting with the owner Tom.

It was still early, and apart from Fudge, there were no other customers in the bar.

Fudge and Tom heard the door open and turned to look at them, exchanging glances with them.

After they stared at each other for a while, Fudge was the first to react.

"Oh, Harry! Why are you here?" Fudge glanced at Amanta beside Harry, "Did Miss Merlin send you here? Where did you go last night? It took us so long to find you -"

Fudge came over, put his arm around Harry's shoulders and pushed him towards the bar.

"Give us a room and a pot of tea, Tom," he said bluntly.

Harry froze, turned and glanced at Amanta for help.

He seemed to want to say something, but because Tom and Fudge were here, he couldn't open his mouth to say what he wanted to say.

But even if he didn't say it, Amanta probably knew why he was worried.

Harry thought he had broken the law - from what he knew, he knew he had broken several Ministry of Magic laws, such as the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act.

Now he had bumped into the Minister of Magic, Fudge, here, not to mention that Fudge had said he had "looked for him all night"...

Amanta just blinked at Harry, signaling him not to worry.

Tom, the thin, toothless boss, waved his hand and motioned them to follow.

Tom walked in front, Fudge pushed Harry, and Amanta followed at the end. They walked through the narrow passage beside the bar and entered a small private room.

Tom snapped his fingers, a flame leaped out of the grate, and he bowed and left the room.

"Sit down, Harry, Amanta."

Fudge pointed to two chairs by the stove.

Amanta and Harry sat down, and Fudge took off the striped cloak he was wearing and threw it aside, pulled up his dark green suit trousers, and sat opposite them.

"As you should know, I am Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic."
