Chapter 487 Tom Riddle's First Encounter with the Savior
As for why Harry Potter appeared in the cabinet.
Set the time back half an hour ago.
Originally, Harry was staying at Ron's house. In order to buy books for second grade, he and Ron's family went to Diagon Alley in the morning.
The transportation used by Ron's family was floo powder, and that was the first time Harry saw this magical item.
Pick up a handful of sparkling powder, walk to the stove, and throw the powder into the flame.
With a "hoo" sound, the fire turned green and rose higher than an adult. Then he walked straight into the fire and shouted "Diagon Alley" to reach his destination.
Since it was his first time to use floo powder, he was a little nervous.
Caught off guard, his body was sucked into the fireplace, as if it was spinning rapidly, and the whistling in his ears was deafening. Although he desperately tried to open his eyes, the swirling green flames made him feel dizzy.
Then something hard seemed to hit his elbow. He clamped his arms tightly and kept spinning.
Then there was a "bang" and he fell face down on the cold stone ground, feeling that his spectacle lenses were also broken.
Dizzy, with bruised skin and covered in soot, he climbed up carefully. He raised his broken glasses to his eyes, and all he saw was a narrow, dark alley.
He entered the shop in a daze, and when he was about to leave, he saw the person he least wanted to see - Draco Malfoy.
In order to prevent the other party from seeing his embarrassment, he had to hide in the cabinet.
Then I saw Peter coming in with his family.
Nervously holding his breath and remaining motionless, Harry waited for an unknown amount of time until the store became quiet before he carefully walked out of the cabinet.
"Looks like they've left."
Muttering something under his breath, he quickly left the store.
After leaving the shop, Harry put his broken glasses on his eyes and looked around.
What appeared in front of him was a dirty alley, seemingly lined with black magic shops.
The store he just came out of, called Borgin-Bock, seemed to be the largest. There were some shrunken human heads on display in the window of the store opposite.
Separated from the two facades, a large cage was filled with huge black spiders.
Before he could take two steps, he saw two shabby wizards looking at him and whispering in a dark doorway.
Feeling horrified, he was about to leave quickly when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Harry, what are you doing here?!"
Turning around, he was shocked to see his familiar friend, Hagrid, walking towards him.
The burly gamekeeper walked quickly to his side.
"Hagrid!"
Harry suddenly felt relieved, "I'm lost. I used Floo powder before. I seem to have made a mistake."
Hegrab took his hand, glanced at the witch who was staring at the two of them, and pulled him away quickly.
"Wandering around in Knockturn Alley, you don't know - it's not a good place."
"Feel sorry."
Harry apologized and asked, "Why are you here, Hagrid?"
"I'm looking for a medicine to repel carnivorous slugs," Hagrid said to him gruffly. "They're almost destroying all the cabbage in the school. You're not the only one, are you?"
"I'm living with the Weasley family now, but we got separated," Harry explained to him, "I have to go find them..."
Harry said, quickly leaving Knockturn Alley under the leadership of Hagrid.
Soon the two arrived near Gringotts Bank.
"Harry! Harry! Come here!"
Harry was just about to tell Hagrid what he saw in the store when he heard a familiar female voice.
Harry looked up and saw Hermione Granger standing on the white steps of Gringotts.
She ran down to greet the two of them, her fluffy brown hair flying behind her.
"What's wrong with your glasses? Hello, Hagrid...oh, it's so good to see you both again...are you going to Gringotts, Harry?"
"I'll go after I find the Weasleys."
"You don't have to look for long, they're here." Hagrid smiled.
Harry and Hermione looked around and saw Ron, Fred, George, Percy and Mr. Weasley's family, running quickly from the crowded street.
"Harry," gasped Mr. Weasley, "you scared us so much that we thought we'd lost you."
Behind Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley was running towards this side in a hurry, the handbag she was carrying in one hand swinging violently.
Ginny took her other hand and followed with difficulty.
"Harry, where have you gone?"
After seeing Harry, Mrs. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, Mrs. Weasley, I just got lost."
Harry hid himself in the cupboard and told Ron's family what he saw.
"The Padricks?"
Hearing Harry say that the other party had more children than him and was also very rich, Arthur Weasley, the head of the family, frowned slightly.
Can make Lucius Malfoy bow his head, and is quite rich
To be honest, he had never heard of such a famous family in London.
"I can feel that Mr. Padrick must be a very powerful magician."
Harry expressed his feelings, "Although I haven't seen him use magic."
"You don't know prophecy, Harry."
Hermione said to him from the side.
Several people were talking when Harry suddenly heard a voice that disgusted him.
"You must like this, Potter?"
Harry straightened up, turned around, and met Draco Malfoy, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
The other person had his usual mocking smile on his face.
"The famous Harry Potter," Malfoy sneered, "even entering a bookstore can't help but be front-page news."
Ron, who was next to Harry, looked at the arrogant Malfoy, as if he saw something disgusting on the sole of his shoe, "You must be surprised to see Harry here, huh?"
"What surprised me even more was that I saw you enter the store, Weasley."
Malfoy retorted, "I guess your parents will starve next month to buy those things."
Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, was next to him, planning to roll up his sleeves to deal with this kid, but he didn't expect Malfoy's father to come over.
Lucius Malfoy stood in front of his son, with the same sneer on his face as his son.
"Long time no see, Weasley. I heard you're very busy with work."
Lucius Malfoy said sarcastically, "So many searches... I think they paid you overtime, right?"
He reached into Ginny's cauldron and pulled out a tattered "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from among the brand new and shiny books.
"It seems not. My God, what's the point of being a scum among wizards if you can't even get a good salary?"
Arthur Weasley listened to the other party's ridicule of him, and his face was redder than his son Ron.
"We have completely different views on what is a scum among wizards, Malfoy."
Arthur Weasley sneered back.
The two sides immediately became tense.
When Harry was worried about whether they would fight, he raised his eyes and accidentally saw Peter's family walking towards this side.
After completing the big purchase, Raven happily held a pile of books, magic robes, and the "Hand of Glory". After seeing Lucius Malfoy and his group, she stopped and looked at Peter, "Dad."
Peter patted her shoulder and walked to his daughter.
"Mr. Padraic."
Seeing Peter appear, Lucius Malfoy no longer paid attention to the Weasley family and walked quickly to his side.
"I didn't expect we would meet here."
Peter nodded and looked at the Weasley family, the trio of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, and the giant Hagrid.
He was a little surprised that he didn't expect to meet the three protagonists here.
"It's quite a coincidence. Are these people your friends, Mr. Malfoy?"
Peter looked at the Weasley family and asked.
"To be precise, just colleagues."
Malfoy glanced at Arthur Weasley coldly, "And they are colleagues who don't get along well."
"Really?"
Peter nodded and walked to the Weasley family.
"Hello, Mr. Weasley."
Looking at Peter's outstretched hand, Arthur Weasley was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shook hands with Peter.
He knew that the person in front of him should be the Peter Padrick that Harry mentioned, the one who could make Lucius Malfoy afraid.
"I have heard of Mr. Weasley's name, the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department of the Ministry of Magic, right?"
Weasley coughed and adjusted his mood, "Uh, yes, I am in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department, sir."
After Peter briefly talked to the other party for a few words, he looked at Harry Potter and Hermione next to her.
"This is Miss Hermione."
Seeing that Peter greeted her before Harry, Hermione's heart was suddenly filled with a little pride.
She raised her head slightly, stretched out her hand to Peter, and tried to imitate the tone of an adult, "Nice to meet you, sir."
Although she didn't know why the other party knew her, she was still full of pride and complacency in her heart to be known by such an influential figure as Peter.
"You are Harry, right? Harry Potter, our savior."
"Yes, it's nice to meet you, sir."
Harry greeted Peter nervously.
At the same time, he looked at Raven, Loki, Tom and others.
When he saw Tom, the cold and deep look in his eyes made his heart jump.
The scar on his forehead suddenly hurt.
Tom didn't know that he had made Harry Potter uncomfortable. At this time, his eyes were fixed on Ginny who was following behind his mother.
Just now, he saw from a distance that Lucius Malfoy stuffed a diary into her crucible while not paying attention.
What shocked him was that the diary and the diary he was writing now were almost exactly the same in appearance.
He had a feeling that it was his own diary.
