Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Of course, as you may think, neither Rodriguez nor Munn are students of Ravenclaw.

So why was Ravenclaw singled out?

Because this lack of "Ravenclaw", this lack of "shrewdness, alertness, and erudition" is precisely the source of all problems.

Eric was brave enough but shrewd enough, so that he fell into the hands of his enemies, fell under the Imperius Curse, and became the "culprit".

Ecker did whatever it took to achieve his goal, but he fell into a narrow-minded attitude and went on a path that was extreme, even ignoring all the persuasion and evidence, and ultimately single-handedly led to his own demise.

Edgar is loyal to his friends, but he also loses his tact. If Edgar could quickly see through Eric's anomaly and prevent everything, the tragedy would not have happened.

It wasn't until the tragedy began that "wisdom" slowly entered the scene.

Therefore, the three people in the bright line are intertwined with each other, and no one can really sing the song of revenge. Eric has shortcomings, Ekel completely fails, and Edgar chooses to forgive.

Rodriguez, who only had a secret line, although he was defeated by Moon, he actually got the score of the song after his defeat.

then.

The mute music ends here.

The moving tune plays from this moment.

Also known as: The Song of the Avengers.

★ Volume [-] The Book of Voldemort★

Chapter 1 The parents are short-sighted

The weather in Peterborough in early July is still very comfortable, but it hasn't rained much in the past two days, which makes the wind that blows from time to time bring a sense of dryness, and the grass on the ground loses its energy and begins to wither. He stayed there with his head down, only reluctantly twisting his head twice when the warm wind blew by.

The owls staying in the hut are very comfortable. Even if it doesn't rain every day, the hut is always cool, which at least will not affect their ability to enjoy their sleep.

Of course, these little guys would probably be reluctant if they were asked to go out to deliver letters in broad daylight. Only the dull-witted Debbie worked hard without complaining and never slacked off in her work.So much so that Edgar has completely given up his owl recently, pestering Moon every day and asking Debbie to help him deliver letters.

"I promise, this is definitely the last time." Edgar pretended to make a gesture of swearing, but everyone in the Shafiq family was aware of the unreliability of his similar oath.

"For my aunt's sake." Moon sighed, "And you have to buy Debbie a year's worth of dried rat meat afterwards. You want the best kind."

"Absolutely no problem." Edgar bared his teeth at Moon with satisfaction and ran out quickly with the letter.

As soon as he walked away, Golov's voice came down from upstairs. "Is everything packed? It's time for us to set off."

Hesper and Quaid came out of the room one after another. Ann, who had put on a beige dress that was closer to the Muggle style, also left her room, holding a hat in her hand. Years ago, it would have been a rather fashionable looking straw hat.

"Uncle Edgar went to send a letter and should be back soon." Moon glanced at his pocket watch, "There is still enough time."

Owen was not at home, not only him, but also Richard and Shawnie, because they had fled to the United States not long before Moon's holiday.As for Richard and Shawnee, it was entirely because Hesper and Quaid had already started school. It would be too much trouble to travel to the United States and back again during the two-month summer vacation.So Uncle Golov and Aunt Nora discussed it and simply asked Owen to take the slightly younger Richard and Shawnie to the United States.

"Where are Olanda and Dana?" Golov looked around and suddenly asked, "Aren't they going?"

An helplessly shook her head, "Dina was sleeping in a dark place and was still dozing off while getting dressed. Olanda was also a little nervous, so just let them stay at home. They may not be interested in Muggles anyway." I’m interested in the dance performance.”

"Okay, let's go and wait for Edgar at the door."

Moon checked the performance tickets in his pocket in case he suddenly found out that he had forgotten this important thing at home when he arrived at the place later.Then he kept up with Golov's pace - since the curse on his leg was exorcised, the pace of this always calm uncle has indeed become faster.

That's right, the show tickets are the ones Gemma gave to Moon before the summer vacation started.

In fact, Moon had not originally planned to take everyone in the family with him. After all, he was not sure whether Uncle Golov and mother Ann would be interested in the Muggle dance performance.According to his thinking, if his uncle and mother don't want to go see them, they can take Hesper with him, plus his uncle Edgar who likes to join in the fun, and the three of them will be enough.

Surprisingly, when Moon asked, the two of them unanimously expressed their willingness to give it a try.An even told Moon that she had actually seen a performance by a Muggle dance troupe before. Of course, it had been many years ago, when she was still a single girl.

The waiting time at the door was not long, maybe because the weather was really torturous, or maybe Edgar didn't waste much time on sending letters (after all, it was Debbie who was responsible for delivering the letters for him. , rather than his own lazy bird).In fact, not long after the others reached the gate of the manor, Edgar had already caught up with them from behind.

The rest of the journey was a familiar one - the performance was in London, and a group of six people chose to apparate directly to Diagon Alley, and then called two taxis to go to the theater they had never heard of.No way, taking a taxi, a slightly shocking Muggle operation for ordinary wizarding families, is not a strange situation in the Shafiq family.

Golov had learned to take a taxi when he went to the United States to chase Aunt Nora. Hesper and Quaid had lived in the United States for a long time, so they were not unfamiliar with this kind of thing.Ann once lived with Moon's father in a Muggle community and lived a Muggle life for a while. Edgar also had the experience of cosplaying with Muggles during a tracking mission.They may not understand much about "too Muggle" topics with these people, but taking a taxi or taking the subway is no problem for them.

In fact, in comparison, Moon was probably the least skilled at taking a taxi among the six people - from his previous life to this life, he had never raised his hand to stop a taxi.

As a time traveler... I'm probably a little weird.

…………

Although when they saw the performance location on the ticket, Moon and Hesper roughly guessed that it was probably a little-known theater.But when he actually saw this theater that might not be able to accommodate many audiences, Hesper was suddenly disappointed.

"I thought it would be some kind of big theater." After entering the venue and sitting down, Hesper said with regret, "Gemma's dancing talent is really great. Really, it's better than many well-known young dancers." Not bad or anything.”

An touched Hesper's hair, chuckled and said: "Don't be stupid, Hesper, although I don't understand dance, but even if the Gemma you mentioned is a good dancer, she has never participated in anything. There is no fame in performances and competitions. Being able to join a dance troupe and perform on stage is her real first step. How can there be so many dancers in the world who can stand on the big stage with their first step? Where is home?"

"Well, I just think she deserves better." Hesper muttered, "Then Gemma will only have a small chance to appear today."

No one answered, but even just from their expressions, I could tell that everyone felt the same way.

Hesper suddenly became even more frustrated.

After a while, the music started to sound and the curtain slowly opened.Moon looked around, feeling a little sad in his heart.

The number of auditoriums here was not very large, but now they were not even half full.

He sighed softly, stopped thinking about this, and began to enjoy the dance troupe's performance.

It has to be said that although the dance troupe Gemma chose and said personally that she has always been looking forward to is not a very well-known dance troupe, their professionalism seems to be absolutely excellent.From the entrance to the curtain call, there was almost no obvious flaw in the entire performance.From the eyes of a layman like Moon, it can be described as perfect.

However, as mentioned in Hesper's previous "crow's mouth" words, in this performance, Gemma has always been dancing at the back like other young dancers.It was not until the second half of the performance that these young dancers finally had some opportunities to take turns to perform.

Everyone seized this opportunity tightly, showed [-]% passion and fullness, and used their bodies to interpret their understanding and love for dance.

Of course Gemma is no exception, and unlike the nervousness shown by other young dancers, Gemma has always been very relaxed and comfortable, and the smile on her face is even more genuine.It seemed that even just that little bit of playing time had already made her feel extremely excited and excited.

Moon was still as amazed and appreciative of Gemma as he was when he first learned that Gemma was going to join the dance troupe, and he was also happy that he had indeed seen her perform in the dance troupe;

But at the same time, he was still just like before the summer vacation, he couldn't wish Gemma success, and he didn't even dare to wish Gemma happiness for the time being. He could only wish Gemma that she would continue to go smoothly.

After all, if you want to pursue love and dreams as a Muggle in the Muggle world at the same time, this road is not that easy.

When the performance was about to end, Golov, who was sitting behind Moon, gently patted Moon on the shoulder and whispered to him to look at the other two audience members diagonally in front of him.

"I thought the surname 'Farley' sounded familiar to me before. Did you see that couple? That man is an official from the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. He is not a pure-blood fanatic, but he can indeed be called an 'old-fashioned' man." , he is almost the same mold as his father who passed away a few years ago. I guess the Gemma Farley you know is the daughter of their couple."

Moon looked over.

Indeed, although we could only see the profile of her face, the woman and Gemma looked very similar, with similar facial contours, the same moderately high nose bridge, and almost identical small ears.Not to mention that man, his hair color and eye color are exactly the same as Gemma.

The woman was crying at the moment, but it wasn't the kind of crying that brought tears to her eyes, but more like... she was complaining about why her daughter chose such a path; as for Gemma's father, his expression looked like Quite complicated.

Sad for his misfortune, angry for his inability to fight, angry and disgusted, but at the same time mixed with some reluctance and sadness.

He deliberately pursed his lips tightly, making the originally curved lip line almost straight, and showing a bloodless paleness, which showed the force of his movements.It was as if this could cover up all his emotions without leaking them at all.

After retracting his gaze, Moon leaned back and asked Golov softly behind him: "Uncle Golov, if the person on the stage now is Hesper, what would you think?"

Golov was silent for a long time, until the performance was completely over and the sparse crowd began to applaud, he clapped his palms and whispered: "Maybe it will be very sad, because this will lead her to a direction that I can't predict at all. In the future, I will worry about her getting hurt that I can’t fix."

Moon didn't say anything else. He was also applauding the dance group and looked at Gemma's parents again - but they had already left without even giving out the final applause.

Of course, it is more likely that they are also afraid that their daughters will see them, so as not to send the wrong signal.

As invited friends, after the dance company's curtain call, Moon and the others did not leave immediately with the other audience members. Instead, they got a few bouquets of flowers and ran backstage to give them to the dancers.Ann originally wanted to invite Gemma to have dinner with her, but she gave up the idea after Moon secretly told her that the dance company was preparing a party after the performance.

While several other people were chatting with the dancers, Gorov was chatting passionately with the leader of the dance troupe, a handsome middle-aged man in his early 40s - probably because of the sympathy between the old handsome guys, although Gorov Love listened more and talked less throughout the whole process, but the group leader was still very happy when he talked, and even wanted to exchange phone numbers with Golov at one point.

After learning from Gemma that their leader was not married yet and liked men, Moon's eyes almost immediately became strange.

Good guy, you really deserve to be British.

Not long after, the group leader had begun to invite Golov and his family to attend the party of the dance group. Seeing that the situation was not good, Moon quickly found an excuse, saying that he had a stomachache, and took his uncle and Mom quickly slipped out from behind the scenes.

However, in the face of inquiries from family members, Moon finally did not dare to tell the whole story. He just said something like "bulabula, don't disturb the dance party."

After all, if this is said, at least one of the two uncles will definitely not be able to sleep well tonight - Uncle Edgar will definitely laugh wildly, and then Uncle Golov will get angry and drive him out of the house.Next, either Uncle Edgar went to his aunt's place to sleep happily for a night, and the uncle was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night; or Uncle Edgar was so angry that he yelled outside and dragged Ge. Uncle Love spent the whole night sleeping together.

So just let it end there.

It has to be said that Moon's decision was very clear. After hearing his nonsense reasons, several elders had no intention of going further and simply discussed where to go for dinner.

After finally going out, no one wanted to go back to eat, not to mention that we could also pack a portion for Olanda and Dana so that the two little guys could change their taste.

It was said to be a discussion, but actually there wasn't much to discuss at all. It was either Diagon Alley, a Muggle restaurant, or leaving London and changing to another city.Therefore, it didn't take long for Golov and Ann to use their huge advantage of two votes to one to decide on the dining location in Diagon Alley.

As for the three children?They didn't participate in the vote at all - even if they did, no one would vote with Edgar.

Who makes Edgar like teasing these juniors the most?

…………

Many people think that the Leaky Cauldron is the only place where people can eat and drink in Diagon Alley. In fact, this is a wrong view. There are a variety of restaurants and shops in Diagon Alley.Even if you want to buy some contraband that is not available in the market, you can go to Knockturn Alley, which is connected to Diagon Alley, and feel the "amiability" and "friendliness" there.

Under the leadership of Uncle Golov, the family ran to a restaurant called "The Conch" in Diagon Alley - in fact, this restaurant had no sign with a name at all, only a huge sign on the roof. The conch decoration is a flaming conch decoration, hence the name.According to Uncle Golov, this place seems to be very good at handling some high-end seafood. He had even brought Aunt Nora here for a date before.

Several people walked into the store talking and laughing, but before the children could take in the environment of the store, they heard a very familiar voice.

"Damn Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, Merlin's beard! If Professor Dumbledore hadn't insisted on letting you go back for a period of time every year, I would have preferred you to stay with me for the rest of your life. I'm not kidding, Harry."

"That's not possible, I still have to go to school, Sirius. And don't worry, with you here, they don't dare to treat me too harshly. The most they can do is let me do more housework, really."

The only few tables of customers in the store were all glancing at the two people in the corner intentionally or unintentionally, even the old man dressed as a chef and another strong man at the bar.Moon and his family are no exception. After all, these familiar voices and names—if not Harry Potter and Sirius Black, who else could they be?

It was only then that the two people at the bar finally noticed that there were new customers in the store.As soon as they saw Golov, the eyes of the two people suddenly lit up, and the old man even shouted, "Ha! Golov Shafik, you haven't been here for a while, why did you suddenly remember to bring me with you?" Is your family here to visit? Oh, by the way, where is your nephew? The one named Moon, he is a big celebrity now, you didn’t bring him here, right?"

Moon, who was still sympathizing with Harry for having to be watched even if he was sitting in the corner, immediately enjoyed the exact same feeling - with the old man's loud shout, everyone in the restaurant I turned around and watched a few of them.

Fortunately, Moon didn't care much about this kind of thing. He took the initiative to stand a step forward to prevent those people from glancing at Quaid who was blushing. Then he bowed to the old man at the bar and smiled. He said: "Hello, sir, I am Moon Fox. I have always heard from my uncle that your seafood is very delicious, so I asked him to bring me over to try it while I was out today. To be honest, I still I haven’t even ordered yet, but I can already smell the aroma that makes me so hungry.”

Seeing Moon's appearance, Harry immediately leaned back tactically and gave Moon an appreciative look.

As for Golov, who was standing next to Moon - now he was almost smiling.

Chapter 2 Gilderoy Lockhart

"Oh, poor kid..." Ann handed Harry the pepper and glanced at the somewhat hairy boy with a sad look.

Just now from Sirius' mouth, everyone almost knew what happened to Harry at the Dursley's. Ann was very distressed to hear this - not only Ann, but even Golov was worried about what happened to Harry. They all felt a little pity.

After all, this child could and deserved a better life.

Harry took the pepper with a shy look on his face, said thank you twice quickly, and then started working on his seafood pasta seriously.

"By the way, I heard that the Ministry of Magic has made another move recently?" Sirius seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "It seems that many people have received the news and are hurriedly dumping things out."

Edgar cut off the head of the shrimp with one knife, and then threw the fresh and tender shrimp into his mouth. "Indeed, I heard that there seems to be an inventory of various dark magic items and contraband, and the Malfoy family is the key observation target. Of course, , other families and wizards with dirty foundations can't escape either. However... Weasley has worked very hard to cover up the news, but I didn't expect that the news was still leaked out."

"The Ministry of Magic can never be completely clean." Sirius sneered. "Even if Ms. Bones takes the stage, the Ministry of Magic can only be 'better', but it cannot be 'completely improved'."

Moon listened quietly and decided to write a story about 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' to Mr. Weasley and send it to him after he went home later.

Isn’t it hard to say that I like to leak information to others? I leak it, leak it ruthlessly.

"It seems that Weasley's promotion is far away again." Edgar curled his lips helplessly. "Originally, he thought that if he could get something big this time, he would ask for a promotion. This way Hell, he will most likely only be able to catch a few scapegoats and fine them a trivial amount of money. If they die, a few ill-informed dark wizards will be imprisoned for a few days. Compared with before, there is no difference. .”

Golov wiped the sauce that he accidentally smeared on the corner of his mouth and told the truth in one breath: "There is no way, even if all the dark wizard spies in the Ministry of Magic are kicked out, there will still be many people who will continue to leak information for the benefit of the family. If all these people are eliminated, there will be very few people left in the Ministry of Magic."

When Harry heard that the Malfoy family had become a "key observation target", he was a little gloating, but after hearing a few words, he lost his joy.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he wouldn't have been able to help but sigh along with Sirius.

I have to say that although the owner of this snail restaurant, the old man in chef's uniform, is a bit rough in character, he is indeed very meticulous in his cooking.The fishy smell of these aquatic ingredients was completely eliminated, and the taste was really fascinating. At least Munn and others were very satisfied with the food.

As time gradually approaches the regular meal time, more and more people enter the restaurant, and the restaurant, which was not very big, becomes increasingly popular and even overwhelming.But for Moon, Harry and others, this is not a bad thing. After the number of people increases, as long as they don't chat too loudly, not many people will notice them.

However, things will not always go smoothly.

Not long after, there was a loud noise at the door of the restaurant, and a magnetic but always very loud voice said loudly over there, "Okay, okay, don't worry, everyone, the news you heard is absolutely correct." , the book signing will be next month - I just finished discussing relevant matters with the manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, yes, it’s the gentleman standing next to me.”

Everyone on Munn's side naturally looked over there curiously, but because almost everyone was doing the same thing, and their table was located in too much of a corner, they didn't see it for a while. what.

"Everyone, please stop crowding. Please give me permission. We are preparing to dine here, haha. Of course, I enjoy everyone's enthusiasm, but if I faint from hunger, there will probably be a stampede later." , right. Hahahaha~"

Hesper, Quaid, and Harry looked at each other and immediately showed a suppressed smile.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the owner of the Conch Restaurant to use his loud voice to clear up the doubts of all those who didn't have the opportunity to see the mysterious visitor at the door of the restaurant: "Mr. Lockhart! Oh, my God, I didn't." The thought of you coming tonight really makes my place brighter. It’s such an honor! What an honor!”

Now everyone knew who this sudden sensation was.

Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous wizard writer, has outstanding achievements, outstanding literary talent, and his handsome appearance.Not only has he been awarded the third-level Order of Merlin, he is also an honorary member of the Dark Arts Defense League and a five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award. Every book he has written has made readers unable to put it down, no matter where they go. There will be a huge sensation everywhere.

And if he comes, it can indeed perfectly explain why this guy would mention the exaggerated term "stampede". After all, just half a year ago, his enthusiastic fans were too excited at the signing event. Fainted on the spot.

At that time, it was absolutely true that a stampede almost occurred.

However, as soon as the answer was revealed, most of the people at Moon's table lost interest in looking around - whether it was Edgar, Sirius, Ann, or Golov, they were all interested in this famous Loha. Mr. Te doesn't have much interest. At most, he will chat a few words if there is a chance.Although Harry doesn't have so many "extremely fanatical" fans, he is much more famous than Lockhart.
