Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 281 Worries in My Heart

"House elves" come to warn Harry?

"Well... he said I couldn't go to Hogwarts, and he intercepted the letters that Ronnie and the others sent me. He thought that if I felt that my friends had forgotten me, I wouldn't want to go to Hogwarts."

"I think the one who closed the passage might be the house-elf named Dobby. After all, the magic of that entrance shouldn't be something that ordinary wizards can easily control, right?"

I continued, saying that Bill had told me so before. Charlie also murmured, "It is indeed possible. The magic used by house elves is completely different from ours, so it is not surprising that they would interfere with the magic of the entrance."

Charlie seemed to agree with this speculation, but he also realized that we did not have enough evidence and it was dangerous to jump to conclusions.

"I will tell the professors about Dobby. Although I think it is safe at Hogwarts, as I said before, their magic is completely different from ours, and perhaps even at Hogwarts they will have a way to interfere."

Charlie's firm assurance made Harry relax a little, and his face looked better and his expression softened.

After that, we got bored just sitting there waiting, so Harry and I decided to review History of Magic with Charlie's help. After all, even the most interesting History of Magic would quickly turn into a lullaby if taught by Professor Binns.

About an hour later, we suddenly heard someone knocking on the car window. The three of us were startled at the same time and looked outside to find our parents, Arthur and Molly, standing outside, looking pale and exhausted.

"Dad, Mom, it's great that you're out."

"Ronnie, Harry, are you okay?"

"Ah, Charlie, that's great...you've been with them the whole time."

As soon as we got out of the car, my father Arthur hugged Harry and me tightly, and my mother Molly rushed to Charlie. Arthur's hug was so tight that Harry and I could hardly move. Charlie helped to comfort my parents and took them into the car.

"You guys haven't come to the platform yet, and the entrances and exits are completely closed. We can't even get out. I thought you were attacked by a dark wizard. I was so scared."

"I'm worried that you and Harry might be targeted. Although I know Charlie has been with you, the thought that you might be separated terrifies me."

Looking at my parents who were still trembling slightly, I couldn't help but think that it was rare for parents to show their affection and care in this way, and it had been a long time since we last saw such a thing.

Although I know they love us very much, they don’t usually act like “parents”, so I felt a little uncomfortable for a while...

**Back to the topic**

"Don't worry, there is no attack by dark wizards. It's just that Harry and Ronnie seem to have some clues as to why the entrance was closed."

Charlie began to tell the story of Dobby, and his father Arthur fell into deep thought after listening.

"Dobby the house-elf? Harry, he mentioned 'the wizarding family he serves', right?"

"Yes."

Harry nodded, and Arthur murmured thoughtfully: "Could it be... No, it can't be..."

"Arthur, have you thought of anything?"

Mother Molly asked worriedly, but Arthur shook his head and answered vaguely: "Nothing. I'll check about the house-elf... Is there any news from Hogwarts?"

"We've sent a letter via Harry's owl about the passageway closure. I'll tell the professors myself about Dobby."

"Because we don't know if you can come back, we decided to send a letter to inform Hogwarts first."

"Yeah, that's right."

Father Arthur nodded, seeming to put down some of his worries.

"So we're just going to wait for a reply from Hogwarts now?"

"Yes."

After Charlie answered, his father Arthur continued, "Since we've missed the express, I'm afraid we'll have to use Floo powder to get to Hogsmeade via the fireplace network."

Following my father's instructions, we went to the Leaky Cauldron, where we had some sandwiches and tea for a late lunch. Shortly afterwards, a Hogwarts owl arrived with a reply from Dumbledore. As my father had expected, the letter directed us to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade via the fireplace network, where the professors would pick us up.

Originally, my parents could have said goodbye to us at the Leaky Cauldron, but they insisted on seeing us safely picked up by the Hogwarts professors. In the end, they accompanied us to the Three Broomsticks, where they handed us over to the astronomy professor Aurora Sinistra.

"Please take good care of us." They kept reminding us, and only returned to the Leaky Cauldron to get the car when they saw us being picked up by the professor.
