Chapter 473: grumpy tonks
Chapter 473: Angry Tonks
Early the next morning, everyone stood at the door of the Burrow, preparing to go to King's Cross Station.
Soon, a blue car drove over from a distance.
At this time, the ministry's cars were very nervous. When he learned that Harry was here, Fudge directly ordered the best car to be transferred over.
This is probably a return of favor.
After returning from the Ministry of Magic that day, Harry stayed at the Burrow without revealing the fact that he had been assassinated, which helped the Ministry of Magic avoid a lot of trouble.
In return, borrowing a car to go to the station was nothing, and Fudge had no reason to disagree.
In addition, it is safer this way.
They have confirmed that the Ministry of Magic staff member who wanted to assassinate Harry was indeed under the Imperius Curse. In order to prevent Harry from having another accident before he returned to Hogwarts, Fudge even sent an Auror as a driver.
It’s just that this Auror doesn’t feel very reliable.
Tonks, who had red hair on her head, was obviously not in a happy mood. She kept talking all the way, either cursing people or cars. Even Bill sitting next to him was not spared... because he didn't help and scolded the **** just now. The jaywalker.
Ginny sat behind her, folding her arms and shivering, not daring to take a breath for fear that Tonks would turn around and take her with her.
The start of school is not a happy event in the first place, and with such a bad-tempered driver, the car was silent all the way, eerily quiet.
Happily, half an hour later, they finally arrived at King's Cross Station.
Tonks was the first to get out of the car. The moment she opened the door, her hair changed from red to a bright bubble pink.
"Here we are."
She patted the car door and said with a smile: "Get out of the car. Remember to take your luggage with you and don't forget anything."
Everyone got out of the car without saying a word, took out their luggage from the trunk, and then walked quickly towards the station.
No one spoke during this period, and even Fred and George, who always liked to be noisy, found it difficult to calm down.
It wasn’t until he passed through the wall and entered Platform 9 that Fred breathed out a sigh of relief and said:
"Merlin testifies, I will never ride in Tonks' car again, ever!"
“If there is a next time, I would rather walk from home!” George said.
Others nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go quickly." Mrs. Weasley said next to her: "Tonks people are quite nice... Of course, the premise is that they don't drive." She added silently in her heart.
It was also the first time Mrs. Weasley knew that Tonks who was driving was so irritable, as if he had become a different person.
She wanted to remind Tonks to pay attention to her image several times, but she couldn't find a chance to interrupt. She finally said it, but Tonks, who was so angry, didn't hear it yet.
In the end, she could only sigh silently and pretended not to hear anything.
On the platform, the Hogwarts Express train was already parked there.
“Ah, I really hope I can go back to Hogwarts this year.” Bill said, putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the crimson train with a melancholy expression.
“Why…” George asked.
"You guys are going to have a lot of fun this year." Bill's eyes sparkled, "I might take some time off to watch part of it..."
"Part of what..." Fred was a little impatient.
It's been like this since the holidays, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Percy... everyone is playing dumb.
But no matter how he asked, Bill just smiled and said nothing.
Kyle knew that this was another bad taste of wizards, just like the freshman branch...the so-called surprise.
Tsk, isn't it just the Triwizard Tournament? What a big deal... So when George looked over, he shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."
At this moment, the starting whistle sounded.
They quickly boarded the train and leaned out of the window to talk to Mrs. Weasley and Bill.
"Thank you for letting us stay, Mrs. Weasley!" Autumn said, waving her hand.
"Oh, I'd love to, darling," said Mrs. Weasley, "I'd like to invite you to my house for Christmas, but... I don't think you guys would be willing to do it, because... for one reason or another."
Ron wanted to ask again, but the train had already started and his words were drowned in the sound of the whistle. Mrs. Weasley smiled and waved to them, and then disapparated with Bill before the train turned around.
Kyle and the others returned to the box, and Fred and George kept complaining that everyone kept them in the dark.
The corners of Cedric's mouth moved, and he turned his face to the other side while suppressing a smile. Obviously, he also knew, but he was also not prepared to tell them.
Actually, it’s quite interesting to see Fred and George like this.
After the train drove out for a while, it started to rain again. The dense raindrops crackled against the glass windows, making it difficult for them to see the scenery outside clearly.
“Where’s Connor?”
At this time, Qiu suddenly asked: "Didn't she get on the train?"
“I think she should be in another compartment now.” Cedric said, he looked at Kyle, “Take it out quickly, we should go there too.”
“What did you take out...” Fred asked subconsciously.
Then he saw Kyle take out an envelope from his pocket.
"Ding!"
As Kyle opened the envelope, a round object fell on the table.
“Oh, damn!” Fred and George’s expressions suddenly turned uglier, as if they had eaten a handful of Beef Liver-flavored Beans.
They are very familiar with this thing. Percy showed it off countless times in the past two years.
Prefect badge!
“Oh, it’s great to have another prefect among us...” George drawled.
“No, it should be two.” Qiu smiled and pinned his prefect badge on his robe.
Looking at Fred and George again, their faces had turned the color of beef liver.
The two of them have always thought and firmly believed that they would never want to be prefects in their lives, but now this idea has been shaken.
Who would have thought that except for the two of them in the six-person group, everyone else is actually a prefect.
This is a bit too much. Can we still play together in the future?
However, this was not over yet. As if they were deliberately showing off, the Kells wore prefect badges and hung around in front of them for a while, refusing to leave.
Angry, Fred and George picked up their luggage on the spot, pushed open the box door and went to look for Li Jordan.
The prefects are really amazing. Can’t they just leave?
A burst of cheerful laughter suddenly erupted in the box.
“Isn’t it a bit too much for us to do this?” Honest Qiu asked in a low voice.
“Don’t worry, they are not so petty.” Kyle said, patting his box, “And I have a way to make them forget about today’s unpleasantness and call us prefects willingly.”
The three of them left the box with a smile and walked towards the prefect's car at the front.
As expected, Kangna was here. After seeing Kyle and Qiu, she who was still a little nervous immediately relaxed a lot.
“What took you so long to come?” she asked.
“It’s to surprise Fred and George, of course,” Kyle said. “You really should be with us, that would make things neater.”
“What?” Kangna didn’t understand.
Qiu stepped forward and whispered something to her, and soon, Kangna couldn't help laughing.
"Aren't you afraid that they will change your badge to "Big Head Boy"?" Connor said, "Just like Percy."
"Not afraid." Kyle waved his hand confidently, "They have no chance."
