Dear Miss Stock: Please note that the new school year will start on September [-]st.The Hogwarts Express will leave at eleven o'clock from King's Cross Station at platform nine and three-quarters.

On certain weekends, third year students are allowed to visit Hogsmeade.Please give the enclosed consent form to your parent or guardian to sign.Enclosed is the book list for the new school year.Your loyal Vice-Chancellor Professor McGonagall

Ann pulled out the book list and consent form from the envelope.Glancing at the book list, An stayed on the title of "Monsters' Monster Book" for a while, and sighed with emotion in a low voice, "This year's life is not so easy."

In the evening, Ann gave the consent form to Dinah, and she was very happy to sign her name behind the guardian column. The big name filled all the horizontal lines behind the guardian.After signing, Dinah and Ann talked about her experience in Hogsmeade Village.

The last Tuesday in August, Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, France.

Dinah pressed a light kiss on Ann's forehead, stroked Ann's hair, stood up and said, "Ann, see you at Christmas!"

Ann was carrying the guitar, and Aaron was carrying Ann's suitcase. The two waved with Dinah and walked towards the boarding gate.

Diagon Alley, London, Thursday afternoon.

Madam Malkin's robe store, Aaron took the bag containing the new robe, and walked out of the store with Ann.When he opened the door, he asked Ann, "Xiao An, we are going to Lihen Bookstore next, right?"

"Well, I'm going to buy the elective books for this semester." Ann followed Aaron out.

"Hey, Xiao An, isn't that your friend? Harry Potter?"

Diagonally opposite, there were many people standing in front of the glass window of the Quidditch broom specialty store, and a black-haired boy was standing outside the crowd looking hard at the window.

"Hey! Harry Potter!" Aaron stepped forward and patted the boy on the shoulder.

Harry looked back, surprised for a moment, then said cheerfully, "Ann? You're back from Paris? Hello, Mr. Hall."

"I came back two days ago, have you bought everything for school?" An asked, and she looked at the crowd again, "What are you looking at?"

"I haven't bought a book yet, I'm just wondering why there are so many people here," said Harry.

Relying on his height, Aaron glanced at the display window, and said to the two in surprise, "It's a sample broom, very beautiful, and its name is Fire. It can accelerate up to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and it can brake Charming installation. Price negotiable."

"The Irish International have just ordered seven of these beautiful brooms!" the shopkeeper said to everyone. "This product is the darling of the World Cup!"

"Wow~" Harry exclaimed, the crowd was less at this time, and Harry saw the fire broom in the window.

"I heard that you were Gryffindor's Seeker in the first year!? Awesome, I was Gryffindor's Chaser back then, and now I still miss the days of playing at Hogwarts..." Ya Len and Harry started chatting about Quidditch, and the common liking between boys quickly made the two of them acquainted.

The three of them walked and chatted to Lihen Bookstore.Bookstore windows usually display spell books the size of floor tiles with gold embossing, but these books are gone now, replaced by a large iron cage containing about a hundred <The Monster Books of Monsters>.Locked together, the books wrestled in a furious wrestling, belligerently biting and fighting, sending broken pages flying here and there.

When Aaron saw the big iron cage, he said excitedly, "Wow, is this the textbook your teacher of Protection of Magical Beasts asked you to buy this year?"

Ann took a step back subconsciously, and it turned out that Hagrid's textbooks were very brutal.Aaron rubbed Ann's hair, "Haha, Xiao An, don't be afraid. Although I don't know who your teacher will be, this book is indeed very interesting, and they are not dangerous..."

Aaron walked into the bookstore and told the manager to get two monster books. The manager's face turned pale instantly.Harry quickly explained, "I already have one."

The manager's face looked a little better. He put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick, bumpy cane, and walked towards the iron cage. A monster book opened like a big mouth and bit the cane. , He hurriedly opened the door of the cage a gap, and took out the book.

Books were gnawing on the cane, and the manager, grabbing them and tying them up with string, yelled, "I'm never going to store these books again, never! It's a mess! We've moved two hundred before.< Invisibility Books of Invisibility>, I thought there was nothing worse than them - those books are so expensive, and we'll never have.. well, do you want any other books?"

The manager handed Ann the bound book, and Aaron took it.

Harry took out the list of books and read, "I also need three more books: Clearing the Fog, Transfiguration Intermediate, and Standard Spells, Level [-] by Sandra Wabraski. Book."

"I also need these three books..." An also told the manager about books on ancient runes and arithmetic and divination.

The manager went to get the book. Ann looked at the monster book in Aaron's hand that was tied up with a rope and was still struggling and asked, "Uncle Aaron, is it really not dangerous?" Harry also looked at Aaron.

Aaron looked at the disbelieving expression on An Xiao's face, and explained with a smile, "Of course, I never lied to Xiao An, you see, as long as you touch the spine of the book, it will obediently let you open it. "

Aaron handed the quiet book to Ann, and Ann looked around with the book and said, "Really."

Harry also felt a little admiration for Aaron, and he suffered a lot when he received the book Hagrid gave him.

The manager delivered the book, and they each paid their money and walked out of the bookstore.At the door of the bookstore, Aaron asked Harry, "Potter, are you going back to your aunt's house? Will someone take you back?"

Harry blushed, and he stammered, "No, I'm staying at the Leaky Cauldron..."

"Oh, that's good." Aaron replied and didn't ask any more questions.

Ann glanced at Aaron who spoke strangely, and guessed that Sirius escaped from Azkaban about half a month ago, and now the entire Ministry of Magic is very nervous about Harry.

Harry didn't ask much about Aaron, relieved that he had broken Ministry of Magic laws after all.He found a topic and asked Ann, "Ann, have you bought all your things?"

"Yes, I've finished shopping. I'll go home directly." Ann replied.

"Okay, see you on the Hogwarts Express then!"

"Unfortunately, I will not take the Hogwarts Express to school this year. Uncle Aaron took me directly to Hogwarts with Floo powder. Dumbledore wrote a letter to the Ministry of Magic to deal with some Forbidden Forest The animals in the house, so my uncle took me along." Ann said, but her tone was not regretful at all.

Harry's tone was regretful and a little envious, he had never been to Hogwarts with Floo powder, "Oh, is it? That's great, but I think Hermione will be sorry to hear the news, and There's Fred and George, and I heard from Ron that they've been talking all summer about wanting you to answer some questions."

An was secretly happy in her heart, and it felt good to avoid the one hundred thousand why time for a few hours.

September [-]st, Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

With a puff, Ann appeared in the fireplace of the principal's office, and then Aaron also appeared carrying Ann's box.

Dumbledore got up from behind a large desk and walked towards the two, "Aaron, long time no see. Stoke, how is your summer vacation?"

Ann replied happily, "My summer vacation was very good, thank you, principal."

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and glanced at the badge on Ann's robe, and smiled gently, "Oh? I haven't seen this badge appear for a long time. It seems that the Roland family has another great member."

An Xiaoxiao didn't speak, and Aaron took the topic, "Where, Xiao An is not as powerful as the principal you said." Although Aaron's words were modest, the smile on his face showed that he was extremely proud at the moment .

"Xiao An, you go back to the dormitory first, I will talk to the principal about work. Someone will come to help you get your box to the dormitory later."

"Yes, Uncle Aaron, Mr. Dumbledore."

Ann came out of the principal's office and walked down the revolving steps.This was her first visit to the principal's office, and it was also the first time she arrived at school earlier than all the other students.She walked to a window and looked into the distance. The headmaster's office was at the height of the castle, and the view was particularly good. From the window, the entire lake in front of the castle could be seen in a panoramic view.It's a pity that the sky is already dark, the sun has set, and the deep blue lake looks very calm.

Ann looked at the scenery for a while, and then walked to the lower level of the castle. She planned to walk around the places in the castle she hadn't been to while no one was there.

Start-of-school banquet, Slytherin table.Malfoy was learning about Harry being stunned by dementors on the train.Next to him, Goyle played the Dementor, and Malfoy was vividly portrayed as Harry lying on the ground, and he also voiced it himself.

Fanny ignored Malfoy, who was saying to Ann, "It's terrible, Ann, you don't know how terrible Azkaban is. My dad told me that Sirius Black was Azkaban for the first time in many years. A prisoner who escaped successfully. He killed a wizard and 12 Muggles on the street alone. Do you think he will really come to Hogwarts?"

"Maybe. Didn't the Ministry of Magic send dementors to guard the exit near Hogwarts? It might not be so easy for him to come in," Ann said.

"But my father said that dementors are not very good," Fanny lowered her voice. "When You-Know-Who is around, dementors have always been his loyal followers."

"Your dad still tells you this?" Ann asked.

Fanny's eyes flashed, and she said hesitantly, "I heard it secretly, but I also heard that Principal Dumbledore has a lot of opinions on the Ministry of Magic's putting dementors near the school. But why does he object? Although I know Dementors are scary, but if Sirius Black does come to Hogwarts he can be caught."

After hearing Fanny's words, Anxin thought that the Ministry of Magic hadn't released the news that Sirius was looking for Harry. It seemed that Dumbledore didn't know that Black was an Armanigus. She said perfunctorily to Fanny, " Tell me, what do dementors do?"

"Guards of Azkaban!" "Then what are they doing now?" "Guarding all the exits of our school..."

Ann stopped Fanny who wanted to continue asking, "Fanny, Dumbledore is going to talk!" Fanny closed her mouth.

"Welcome!" said Professor Dumbledore, his beard gleaming in the light of the candles. "Welcome to Hogwarts for the new school year! I have a few words for you all, and one of them is very Seriously, I think it's better to get this out of the way before you get confused by this delicious meal.."

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued. "After the dementors searched the Hogwarts Express, you must all know. At present, our school is receiving a number of dementors from Azkaban. They are here to perform the official duties of the Ministry of Magic."

"They are stationed at all entrances to the school grounds," continued Dumbledore. "During their stay here, I must make it very clear that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission. Dementors should not be Deceit by tricks or disguises - not even an invisibility cloak."

"Dementors don't know what pleas or excuses are by nature. So I warn each of you: don't give them any excuses to hurt you. I'm counting on the prefects, and our new Head Boys and Girls Chairman, you must ensure that no student will conflict with a dementor."

Dumbledore paused; he glanced gravely around the Great Hall, but no one moved or made a sound.

"On a more pleasing note," he continued, "I am delighted to welcome two new teachers to our ranks this year.

"The first is Professor Lupine, who kindly agreed to fill in the vacancy of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course." There were scattered and not very enthusiastic applause.Professor Lupine looked shabby among all the well-dressed teachers.

"As for our second appointment," said Professor Lupine after the half-hearted applause died down.Dumbledore continued, "Well, I regret to inform you that Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired late last year in order to spend more time with his remaining rascals. However, I am glad to say that it was none other than Rubeus Hagrid who took his place, and that Hagrid has agreed to be a teacher as well as a gamekeeper."

The applause from the Gryffindor table was exceptionally loud.Harry leaned forward to look at Hagrid, who was flushed and staring at his large hands, his smile hidden in his shaggy black beard.

"Well, I think the important things have been said," said Dumbledore, "let's eat."

"By the way, Ann, didn't you come with your uncle today?" asked Fanny.

Ann took a piece of toast casually and said, "He should be in the Forbidden Forest tonight, and he has to go back to the Ministry of Magic as soon as he catches that thing."

"What is it?" "How would I know..."

The author has something to say:

The third grade feels like an eventful year, a link between the past and the future. I don’t know if I have the ability to handle it well... Cover your face...
