Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

When students packed their bags onto the train, it meant the end of a semester. When Jodi appeared in front of Aunt Mary in a torn robe, Aunt Mary was moved to tears.

Jody told Mary that he had received a scholarship, but he would rather sit in the staff room with his aunt and talk about it.

In addition to household gossip, Jodi asked a lot about magic props.

Outside the window, Hogwarts Castle gradually fades away, and the train is surrounded by the sea. The calm light blue water reflects the clouds, making it difficult to tell whether the water is connected to the sky.

Or maybe the Hogwarts Express is in the sky at this time, "kutzkutzing" the little wizards back to the ground.

There was a knock on the door, and the door to the compartment was opened, and Everil's face appeared in front of her.

"Hey, Jodi. I've been looking for you for a while, and I remembered that you said you would take the staff car and come over to have a look... Is it convenient for me to come in?"

"Uh~" Before Jody could speak, Aunt Mary behind her spoke first.

"Of course! Good girl, come in quickly. I should push the snack cart out in a moment." Mary hurriedly welcomed the girl in, and at the same time emphasized that she would have something to do later.

...Why are these guys like this?

But it feels good to have a pretty girl to chat with while riding in the car.

"...You really can't let me go back with you?" Everil pouted her lips to express her dissatisfaction.

The lip gloss on her lips looked like some kind of dessert. Jodi took a bite of the earthworm gummy in her hand and looked away, "Don't be ridiculous, I live in an orphanage. It will be very troublesome to take people back."

"You mean, people will cause you trouble?"

Jodi did not continue to answer the call.

Everil was not depressed after failing to tease her. She took off her shoes, hugged her knees and leaned her back against the window. She looked at Jody quietly, observing every change in his expression.

"Tsk, don't look at me like that."

"Jody~ You are making me more and more curious." As she said this, Everil licked her lips and leaned forward to put her breasts on the table. "Let me study you more, it will be interesting."

.”

"I..." Jodi wanted to refuse, but then he thought, "You have to keep up with me. I won't cooperate with your research. If you want to participate in my actions, you have to

Work harder to prove your worth.”

"You are really thinking about cheating people to do your job all the time." As she said this, Everil pouted again.

Jody showed a fox-like smile and was noncommittal.

He was also the leader of a company, and Jodi did a lot of things like cheating people into doing work.

……………………

Jody would never have guessed what kind of pattern Robert had in his brain. He had clearly told him the day he would arrive home in a letter to him, and had received a reply.

As a result, the guy who promised to give his brother a warm welcome waited until the day after Jody arrived.

Jody was so busy dealing with the people who came to worship all day long.

"Oh ho ho, let's see who this is? My brother who grew up wearing the same pants, the magician brother! Hey, come here! Don't forget what I said, today's party is for my brother to catch up with me.

Wash off. We have to prepare food first, the girls will come later.

And champagne, where’s the champagne? Who brought it?”

A large group of young men and women brought by Robert occupied the church yard in a familiar manner. Unlike ordinary people who always feel a sense of distance after not seeing each other for a long time, when Jody appeared in front of them, the two of them felt as if they had just met yesterday.

"Never mind the mess for now. Come on! Give me a hug, brother!"

The sloshing champagne sprayed out a rich aroma, and the girls in cool summer clothes were laughing and dancing in the yard.

Robert's suspicious friend brought lighting equipment and lit up the church, and the whole neighborhood was invited to the party tonight.

"It seems you are doing well."

The visible respect and the jewelry Robert wore made Jody feel at ease. He patted Robert's butt, who was playing with his cigar, and drove away his dancing partner. Then he took out a box from his arms, "I have felt since I was a child that as long as I listen to

It’s hard for me to go astray with you...a gift for you, brother.”

Opening the box reveals a beautifully crafted mechanical pocket watch inside.

"This is a Swiss product!" Robert held the cigarette with a smug expression on his face, as if to say, 'Look what I did when you were studying.'

Jodi was very satisfied with this little gift. Compared with his crude gift, this thing seemed much more exquisite.

He also took the gifts he prepared for his brothers with him.

Jody pulled out a stack of boards from under his clothes, wrapped in chocolate wrappers.

Robert would be happy no matter what gift he got. When he took the five-panel chocolate pile, he felt something was not right about the weight.

"Take it apart and take a look." Jodi snatched the cigar from the other party's hand. After contacting the soul awakening spell, Jodi was no longer interested in this lightweight tobacco used by ordinary people.

He tore open the package quickly with his hands and feet, and a golden light flashed in the darkness.

"Gold?" Robert looked in disbelief.

Jody chewed his cigar and his smile twisted in triumph under Robert's silly expression.

Black gold is different from gold in the ordinary sense. In fact, in the Muggle world, the name left by Black gold is written as pure gold.

But this does not prevent those who need it from using it as ordinary gold.

Jody grabbed a handful of galleons and melted them in Professor Binns' office.

Such a tacky gift must be liked by many people.

Robert left the table for a while.

Jodi put down his glass and entered the hall.

On the high platform, the DJ enlivened the atmosphere, "The party has just begun! Jump up, girls!"

In the shadow of Hogwarts, the elemental storm in the underground palace gradually subsided.

Hagrid and Professor Sprout resumed maintenance, but the difficulty of completely repairing the huge palace of the four elements was not comparable to that of a small shelter.

So Quirrell has been very busy lately.

It wasn't until long after school started that he had some free time.

From the letter, Jody also found out that Professor Quirrell has been having nightmares recently.

Maybe it's because of the pressure caused by the slow progress of the Soul Awakening Curse.

The reason why it is difficult for Qi Luojueling to learn the spell is still due to the curse of the Defense Against Dark Arts discipline. According to the interpretation of the previous professor, this curse will reach its peak every year.

Quirrell waited for this peak, and then pushed it down just like Jody conquered his inner demons.

Only then did he finally learn the Soul Awakening Mantra.

In a letter to Jody, Quirrell showed off this incident and said that he would be able to go to Diagon Alley early next month.

Deep in the shadow of Hogwarts that no one noticed, it is the center of the ruins in the underground palace.

In the open space where the temple is located, a piece of black ashes stubbornly keeps flying around the invisible temple.

Until this day, the ashes seemed to be attracted by something and slowly gathered.

In the gathering, it gradually regains its original appearance.

It was the mummified snake that was originally nailed to the door of the temple.

At this time, when the snake took shape little by little, it seemed to come to life, spitting out letters as if it chose people to devour.
