Chapter 277: Chance and Necessity

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Harry was in a hurry right now, why did this woman faint?

Was it because the Dementors' cold had frightened her too much, or was it because she wasn't in good shape in the first place? Could it be that his voice is too loud?

Falling in front of himself would be at a loss for most people, and Harry was one of them.

"You can't take her to Dursley, can you?"

He pondered for a moment, then simply pulled the wand out of his pocket and stretched it out into the street.

Although his money was still in his room, the current situation did not seem to be suitable for a person to run back and get the money, because this point might not be able to come out of the Dursley's house.

During Sirius' prison break, Harry had inadvertently called the Knight's Bus, which he was familiar with.

However, it can be difficult to figure out the route of the knight bus, especially when you are hailing a taxi from a new location, and you must definitely pay attention to the direction of the incoming bus.

No, people never follow Muggle roads!

I saw a huge bright purple silhouette suddenly appear from the woods on the side of the road, and the headlights were dazzling. In an instant, it sprinted across the street and stopped beside Harry, breaking him out in a cold sweat.

"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, an emergency passenger transport for witches or wizards in distress. Just stretch out your wand and get in the car and we'll take you wherever you want to go. My name is Sihu? ”

The conductor let out a sudden startled look at Harry.

"Hey! You're Harry Potter! "Look," he exclaimed, "I have seen you in the Daily Prophet!" It's really you! ”

He remembered Harry's appearance, but he had forgotten about Harry's last time on the Knight's Bus.

Also, there are not a few passengers on the rider bus on weekdays, so where can you remember them all? What's more, Harry reported Neville's name last time.

"Come on! Mr. Potter! The conductor happily said, "Where are you going?" Hogwarts hasn't started school yet, huh? ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he snorted again in surprise as he saw the woman lying behind Harry.

"Oh," Harry said, waving his hand, "I saw her faint on the side of the road, I've got to show her somewhere!" ”

"Really!" The other party nodded heartily and said, "Mr. Potter, you are so kind...... So, is it going to St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic? ”

Harry couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he shook his head hesitantly, he really couldn't think of where to go for a while.

Of course, in any case, the question of where to go has to be put aside.

"Sir," Harry said with an innocent wink, "I mean...... Can I pay for the car when I get there? I don't have any change with me......"

"Oh! I don't think that's appropriate......" The conductor said with a look of embarrassment, "We have a rule that you have to pay the fare before you can depart......"

"yes......" Harry subconsciously patted his pocket, but found nothing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter! That's the rule, so I'm not huh? ”

This is the third time that the conductor has been shocked today, although he is often surprised because of his personality, but it is rare to "hey" three times in a short period of time.

Just as Harry followed his gaze and looked back, he heard a soft grunt at the same time.

"Hmm......"

The woman woke up on her own, and although she still looked a little dazed, at least she was awake.

"You...... You okay? ”

This time, Harry didn't even dare to call at his usual volume, but lowered his voice as low as possible, for fear that people would faint again.

"Huh?"

The woman seemed to think the headlights of the knight bus were too dazzling, and she couldn't help but squint at Harry, and then hurried back as if she had woken up.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid...... What should you remember what I looked like? Harry hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Didn't you say you were going to Hogwarts?" Take this car to go to ......"

As he spoke, he secretly looked at the woman again, and then said hesitantly, "That...... Do you have any money? ”

The other shook his head as Harry had expected, after all, she was dressed worse than him, and she was pale and had knotted hair, and she was probably a poor bastard.

Although it is not good to judge people by their appearance, it is sometimes true.

"In that case...... And the bus will continue to depart? The conductor looked apologetically at Harry and the woman again, and after Harry nodded helplessly, he beckoned the driver to leave.

With another explosion, the knight bus suddenly "swooped" forward, disappearing into the cracks across the street at a dizzying speed.

“…… You okay? ”

Harry watched the knight's bus leave, then hurriedly turned back and asked uneasily.

The woman seemed to be weak, and Harry didn't want to see her faint again in a moment, so it was best to open the topic and ask about it.

The woman shrank on the ground, nodded timidly, but then shook again.

To be honest, just looking at her like this, it's no wonder Dudley is around making fun of her. In terms of her appearance, she is at least in her twenties, but her personality is cowardly like a child, and she looks quite disobedient.

"I'm hungry......" she said in a mosquito-like voice, as if she was afraid of upsetting Harry.

This time Harry kind of understood, co-authored the person who was hungry and fainted just now?

"That's easy......" Harry thought to himself, with a sigh of relief, "It's hard to say anything else, it's still okay to fill her belly." ”

Although he didn't have gold galleons and silver sike on him, he still had pounds.

After lifting her from the ground, Harry led her out of the community, and although there were no night markets in London these days, restaurants that were open at night could still be found.

Watching her sit cautiously at the table, taking small bites of fries, Harry couldn't help but suppress the doubts in his heart.

Looking at the way she looks, if she asks questions at this time, she may be scared to continue eating.

When she was almost full, Harry raised his doubts.

"I said ......"

"Huh?"

"You said you were looking for Snape, can I ask if you have anything to do with him?"

Harry's words were not soft.

Speaking of which, the depression in the recent period has actually disappeared a lot from Dudley, and with so many things happening just now, he is already much better now.

Besides, in fact, as long as ordinary people still have some conscience in their hearts, it is difficult to say anything serious about this woman. If she hadn't caught up with Harry's paranoia, maybe they would have been in harmony earlier.

"I'm ......," the woman pursed her lips and hung her head, "I'm there...... Audio-visual sessions? Well, I saw him at the meeting, and I felt very ......."

Seeing that she couldn't say anything after a long time, Harry couldn't help but say, "What? ”

"I can't tell......" She seemed to be unable to figure it out, and finally shook her head.

Speaking of the audio-visual meeting, Harry immediately understood where she had met Snape.

For Harry, the focus of that audiovisual session was Voldemort's appearance, as well as Lockhart's amazing performance.

But if you want to talk about the previous "three-dimensional movie", he, a person who has actually experienced it, is a little flattering. After all, there are a lot of things that don't really fit the reality.

But at the thought that it was an activity made by Maca, Harry and the three of them smiled.

After a moment's thought, Harry looked back at the woman sitting across from him.

At this point, Harry didn't want to ask any more. In general, he didn't want to get involved in anything about Snape.

"Anyway, I'll send you a letter and help you connect with someone...... I don't know if I'll be able to contact anyone right now, so you'd better not get your hopes up. ”

Harry is kind-hearted, but he's trapped in Little Whinging right now! To put it bluntly, he himself has nowhere to go, let alone help this woman.

Because of the little awkwardness in his heart, Harry didn't want to go to the Burrow right now, and Hogwarts hadn't started school yet, so where else could he go?

He could only listen to Sirius since he was a child, stay honestly at the Dursleys, and be a "good baby" who doesn't cause trouble.

"I'll leave you some money, and you can find a hotel to stay in later!" Harry sighed and said, "Do you deal with Muggles?" ”

Seeing her nod, Harry stretched, and then began to worry that it was time for him to go back to Dursley's house.

……

Not surprisingly, as soon as he returned to Dursley's house last night, Harry had been arguing with his aunt and uncle for a long time. Dudley fanned the flames, fearing that his parents weren't angry enough to teach Harry enough.

To tell the truth, he was used to the reprimands of the Dursleys. I'm still annoyed by a lot of harsh words, but overall, the sleep is over.

It's just that Harry really had a hard time writing to whom, and after thinking about it, he sent it directly to Hogwarts.

However, regardless of whether the letter was lost in the sea, the woman disappeared first.

He had agreed with the woman last night that he would meet at the playground yesterday after he had sent the letter. But who knows, Harry waited until noon without seeing half a figure.

"Is she lost again? Or is it something else in trouble? ”

The sudden meeting of two complete strangers may be due to accident. But if there are more accidents, it will become an inevitability.

Harry could have guessed that it wouldn't be long before he would meet the ill-fated woman again.
