Chapter 116

Harry was busier than expected that day, and there were some signs of trouble in the morning, so during the process of sending Snape and Lily, Harry got stuck in various ways. Before leaving, he sent the boys into the carriage, and then he had to hurry to Hogwarts again.

The weather in the afternoon was particularly bad. It was only cloudy when he sent the two teenagers to King’s Cross Station in the morning, but when he returned to Cokeworth, the sky was full of dark clouds, and it looked so scary. At this time The street lights will not be turned on, and there is no light at all during the day, as if the night is falling, the sky is pouring down like a water column, the wind is roaring, and the lightning is like dozens of paparazzi chasing the superstar's buttocks and running and clicking. The flashes emitted by the shutter were frighteningly dense, and one after another thunderbolts rumbled like bombing planes. Someone's dog outside kept barking because of fear, causing a circle of dogs barking.Such weather, such noise, it is impossible not to upset people.

Even Harry hadn't seen such a big lightning storm in the past 20 years.Harry was a little worried about the students on the train, but there should be corresponding measures between the train and Hogwarts.

Originally, he had plenty of time, at least the train departed in the morning, and the train would not arrive until the evening.A apparition apparition is of course much faster than a train, it is easy to take it for granted——

But soon he no longer felt that way.

Because of the heavy rain, he received a notice from Hogwarts asking him to go to the school to help as soon as possible. McGonagall's message told him that he was the only professor who hadn't arrived.But the bad luck in the morning continued into the afternoon. When Harry was packing his things, he lost all kinds of things. The environmental noise was strong and domineering, and Harry, who was not in a particularly good mood, couldn't help but get mad and irritable. .

In the end, he stopped looking, changed his appearance, put on the rain cloak and went out, but when he arrived in Hogsmeade, he found that every shop was closed, even The Three Broomsticks and the Pig's Head Bar, which are usually open, are closed to thank guests, and the door of the passage between Hogsmeade and Hogwarts is also tightly closed. I don't know if it is because Filch is too busy. Harry stood in the rain for a long time without the man opening the door.

As a last resort, Harry had no choice but to walk around the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest towards the main entrance of Hogwarts, but the further he walked towards the Forbidden Forest and the edge, the deeper the water that submerged him became deeper and deeper.

"Where is who?" A hoarse voice suddenly emerged from the shadow of the woods, but because of the heavy rain, the man asked twice before Harry heard the man's words.

"Who is it?" Harry lit up his wand, endured the misery of being gargled by the rain, and said loudly: "I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, and I am just passing by here, without any malice. "The light of the wand seemed to be affected by the rain and scattered, and it was so dark that it made people dizzy. Harry didn't feel any magic power flowing, so he simply turned off the light of the wand.

There was silence for a while, and then said coldly: "You leave quickly, and you will enter the Forbidden Forest. Even if you are a professor, it is impossible to escape unscathed in such weather."

With this crazy rain, Harry couldn't hear what the man was saying, only leaving and not being able to get out of the body, not enough, not enough.

Does he want to too? "As soon as possible." He found that his voice had begun to crumble.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. The terrain here is lower than that of Hogwarts. The rainwater, which was not very clean, mixed with the soil of the earth to form dirty water. There are still many dry water in the swaying waves. The branches rushed towards him and bumped into him several times. The thin ones were okay, but some thick ones hit him, and some of them caught his clothes. At some point, Harry was already half-soaked in the rainwater. In the pond, as long as he is not afraid of getting dirty if he walks down again, he can start swimming in the ocean of Hogwarts by burying his head in the water.

At a time like this, who else would he help? Waiting for someone to help is almost the same, but this kind of first move is obviously unrealistic. It would be better for him to think about how to save himself.

Walking in the water encountered too much resistance, and he tried his best to be relatively too slow, and he wanted his feet not to get stuck in the mud.Harry was very careful along the way, and after walking for about 10 minutes, he couldn't see the main entrance of Hogwarts. When he came, he walked for less than 10 minutes.

If only it could fly.

Fly--

"Here come the brooms." Harry suddenly remembered that the room where Hogwarts puts the public brooms is not completely locked, and the brooms are also placed randomly. This should not have changed in the past 30 or 40 years.

Just when he thought the Flying Charm had failed, something crookedly rushed towards him in the air, and Harry saw clearly that it was a broom of the Sweeping Series, judging from the obsolete degree that could be seen in the wind and rain. Look, it's definitely not a new model.

It would be nice to have it!Harry thought very moved.Mood also instantly improved a lot.

He is very good at flying broomsticks, and his control over flying is much better than ordinary people. Such bad weather and dilapidated tools may be quite dangerous for others, but for Harry, who has experienced many battles, it is not necessary. It's a piece of cake, but he can guarantee that he won't get himself into any dangerous situation.

With the broom, Harry grabbed the handle of the broom in mid-air with one hand, kicked it hard with the help of the trunk of a big tree beside him, turned over neatly and rode on it, and shook off the water from his clothes along the way. .

This broom is a bit older than he imagined. The anti-skid spray paint on the broom handle has peeled off a lot, and the tail branches that have been wet by rain seem to be glued together. The speed is not fast, but it is already Much more efficient than the situation just now, Harry stabilized his body, wiped the water from his face, and began to move towards Hogwarts at the maximum speed.

People who were busy in the castle suddenly saw a black figure coming in the wind and waves in the low sky of the storm. Everyone was shocked. It is very dangerous for the person who is blown by the wind to watch faintly in such weather. It's frighteningly fast.

When approaching the castle, the man swung his tail handsomely and landed firmly on the ground, and the people who had been paying attention were relieved.

Harry wiped his face again, took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then grabbed the broom and walked towards the oak gate of the castle.

Someone was waiting there with the door open.

"I'm late." Harry was all dirty and extremely embarrassed, but because of the skills he showed just now, he unexpectedly looked quite handsome.

Dumbledore was also waiting by the door. Hearing what he said, there was no trace of blame on his expression, and he said with a little guilt: "Sorry, I didn't think carefully. I didn't expect the rain to be so bad."

Because he had already moved the office and bedroom before, his body is of course not suitable for helping immediately, "I'll tidy it up, and I'll come down to help later."

Filch looked at it, and suddenly said, "Professor Prince, this broom..."

Harry didn't really apologize and said: "Sorry, I accidentally fell into the water when I was walking to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, so I borrowed the broom from the school to use it. If you are not busy, you can Send it back for me?"

Filch: "..." How did you get this.

For a Squib, this is of course difficult to understand, but for other Hogwarts professors, I can only admire him for thinking of such a method, and even being able to use the Flying Curse accurately under such circumstances. marvel.It seems that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that Dumbledore invited from somewhere this time is very strong.

Of course Harry wouldn't explain it to Filch, he was too wet and uncomfortable, and he didn't know if there was any abrasions, and there was really a burning pain on his calf.

"You go, Professor Prince. Just give me this broom." What else could Filch say at this time, although this new professor's attitude is not very arrogant, but he has an aura that people don't have to refuse Obviously, for a bully like Filch who fears evil, he obviously cannot afford to offend him.

When Harry came down, the others had already returned to their busy schedules, and news soon came from the station that the Hogwarts Express was delayed due to the heavy rain, and it might be delayed for half an hour to more than an hour. In the dark, the Hogwarts faculty and staff once again held an emergency meeting due to an unexpected situation. Although they were newcomers when they came back, they quickly got into the situation, so Dumbledore also appointed a lot of people. things to him.

After finishing everything in a piecemeal manner, Harry began to prepare defensive equipment non-stop. He took the initiative to take on the task of going outside with Hagrid to meet Hogwarts first-year students. Let the first-year freshmen come from the lake, but because this is a Hogwarts tradition, safety measures are actually taken on the boat itself, so in the end when everyone was discussing, they decided to let the first-year students come from the Black Lake. pass.

——It is foreseeable that this year's first-year freshmen are really unlucky like never before.

"I'm sorry to let you encounter such a thing on the first day of work." Dumbledore looked at the thunder and lightning stormy weather outside the castle.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just trying my best to do what I can." Harry's mind was calm, anyway, when he was taking care of himself before, he had already drank the potion to prevent colds, so he didn't worry about himself Will get sick from the weather and affect his work performance.

As time passed, the station finally informed Dumbledore that the students had arrived safely. Except for Professor McGonagall, all the professors had to go out to meet the students to ensure their safety. Harry looked at the mighty In such a turbulent battle, I couldn't help but sigh that this is definitely the most ambitious lineup for receiving people in such a long time.

Harry and Hagrid didn't have much interaction, but as before, the tall half-giant was enthusiastic and cheerful, and he could talk to strangers like Harry without any psychological barriers. Fairly happy.

The rain seems to be a little lighter at this time, but it is only a little smaller than when it was the biggest.

By the time they got to Hogwarts station, the two were already familiar - mainly Hagrid, because Harry was familiar with the half-giant who was more than 20 years younger.

"Thank you!" Hagrid went to lead the people first. He waved at Harry and walked towards the dense crowd of students.

Harry watched from a distance, in fact, he couldn't see anyone, but he just wanted to see if the boy and the others were doing well.For some reason, he suddenly felt a strange gaze looking at him. Of course, Harry felt that he might be wrong, because in this weather, let alone looking for someone.

The faint restlessness in the distance because of the heavy rain seems to be a big problem.However, the giant's movements were obviously very fast. After a while, Hagrid brought a group of children to line up and walked over. Harry hurriedly assisted him to send the children to the boat, and then got on the broomstick himself to escort the children across the river. .

The surface of the Black Lake is not very calm, and the waves are rough. Although the boat has an anti-capsulation defense system, because the waves are too big, the boat shakes very scary. The screams of the children keep ringing out, forming a special, self-contained Stereo "Landscape".

Harry wasn't flying too high, enough for him to have reaction time in any situation.

In the turbulent waters, Harry's beautiful and solid flying movements helped him a lot. He easily picked up a little boy who was half out of the body, and then pushed the boat back with his magic power. , because of the endless emergencies, Harry basically didn't stop.

After all the first graders arrived safely in the small room in the auditorium, Harry pretended not to hear what the first graders were talking about him, and quickly left.
