Harry also quietly watched the two of them argue, which reminded him of the grievances he suffered at his aunt's house.
Compared to that, the joy he felt when he saw his friends, this kind of friendship was something even more precious to Harry.
Ron then saw Harry standing on the stairs watching them: "Harry."
Hermione also turned around and said with surprise: "Harry."
After everyone greeted each other, Hermione was the first to speak: "Has Lan Luo not arrived yet?"
She was quite disappointed because she had dressed up early, wanting to see Lan Luo early, as she hadn't seen Lan Luo for an entire holiday.
Harry then said apologetically: "It might be a little while longer."
Just as Ron was about to speak, a rune wormhole opened beside him, and Lan Luo, dressed in a custom-made Wizard Robe, appeared in the Leaky Cauldron.
He was holding something like a birdcage in his hand, and the three of them stepped forward, calling out: "Lan Luo."
Lan Luo was quite happy to see them: "How was your holiday? Did you have fun?"
"It was great, full of antiques, mummies, and ancient tombs, even Scabbers had a lot of fun."
Ron excitedly continued the conversation.
Hermione, holding her cat, said: "Egyptians used to worship cats."
"Yes, and dung beetles too," Ron added.
Harry smiled as he watched them discuss everything about their holiday.
Lan Luo also saw Ron's twin brothers, George and Fred, walk over and say: "You're showing off your newspaper clippings again."
"When have I ever shown off?" Ron retorted, displeased.
"You haven't shown off, unless you don't count Tom, and the day-shift maid, the night-shift maid, the chef, the toilet repairman, and the Belgian Wizard."
George snatched the newspaper clipping, while Fred on the side added.
Ron's parents and Ginny also walked past.
Relatively speaking, Harry was closer to the Weasley family than Lan Luo, so as soon as they arrived, Mrs. Weasley said: "Harry, oh, and the genius Wizard Lan Luo."
Mrs. Weasley affectionately stepped forward and took Harry's hand.
Harry also greeted her warmly: "Mrs. Weasley."
"My dear, it's so good to see you."
Mrs. Weasley stroked Harry's head, just like one of her own children.
Ginny, who had arrived, then stepped forward and said to Lan Luo: "Lan Luo, it's so good to see you."
Lan Luo also patted her head and said: "I heard your grades last semester were very good."
Ginny, hearing this, lowered her head a little shyly: "I still have a long way to go."
Hermione, holding her cat, then appeared on Lan Luo's other side: "Lan Luo, can I sit next to you?"
She had just caught her pet cat in the pub when she saw a little girl appear next to Lan Luo.
Lan Luo also noticed that Mr. Weasley was walking towards Harry, while Mrs. Weasley was still asking Harry if he had all his things, including books and clothes.
After receiving an affirmative answer, she finally felt relieved and handed Harry over to Mr. Weasley.
At this moment, after greeting Harry, Mr. Weasley also spoke: "Harry, can I have a word with you alone?"
After saying that, he nodded to Lan Luo and Hermione, then led Harry to a secluded corner.
"Are you looking forward to the new semester?"
Mr. Weasley was a supporter of Dumbledore, so he also knew about Lupin teaching Harry and the others Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester.
Although Lockhart had a stable semester due to Lan Luo's intervention last semester, Mr. Weasley felt that the risk of exposure in the school was too great, so he did not continue to resign from his professorship at Hogwarts.
Harry simply replied: "Yes, it will definitely be great."
After the pleasantries, Mr. Weasley then, unusually solemnly, said to Harry: "Harry, some people in the Ministry of Magic strongly object to me revealing this information to you, but I think you need to know the truth.
You are in great danger right now, mortal danger."
Harry directly asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Is it related to Sirius?"
Mr. Weasley looked left and right and said: "How much do you know about Sirius?"
"I only know he's a prisoner who escaped from Azkaban."
"Do you know why?" Mr. Weasley pressed.
Seeing Harry shake his head, he continued: "Thirteen years ago, when you stopped..."
"Voldemort."
Mr. Weasley interrupted him and said: "Don't say his name."
It was clear he also knew about this magical information.
"Sorry," Harry listened intently as Mr. Weasley explained: "When you stopped The Dark Lord, Black also lost everything, but to this day, he remains loyal to The Dark Lord.
He believes you are the one preventing his master's return.
He escaped from Azkaban for this reason, to find you and kill you, Harry.
You must swear, no matter what you hear, do not go looking for Black."
Mr. Weasley solemnly warned Harry.
"Mr. Weasley, why would I go looking for someone who wants to kill me?"
Harry was also very curious about this.
At this moment, Lan Luo's voice came from between them: "Because he is your godfather, and your father's good friend at Hogwarts, the rumored culprit who betrayed your parents, leading to their deaths."
At this, Mr. Weasley and Harry simultaneously turned their heads, seeing Lan Luo appear beside them like the wind.
Mr. Weasley unhappily said to Lan Luo: "I didn't ask you to come over and eavesdrop on our conversation."
Lan Luo didn't mind his words: "Oh, Mr. Weasley, I didn't mean to disturb you.
Since you said Harry has a right to know, then I also have something to tell Harry."
Harry was also curious about what Lan Luo wanted to tell him: "Lan Luo, if there's anything, you can just say it."
Clearly, he trusted Mr. Weasley.
"Alright then, that year, Harry's parents, James and Lily, to evade Voldemort, accepted Dumbledore's advice to use the Fidelius Charm to hide their residence in Godric's Hollow.
This is an ancient magic that seals a secret within one person's heart.
Dumbledore suggested that he be the Secret-Keeper, but James refused.
Initially, he appointed Sirius as the Secret-Keeper, but Sirius, for strategic reasons, persuaded him to transfer the Secret-Keeper status to Peter Pettigrew.
As a result, Peter, out of fear of Voldemort's power, betrayed the Potters, causing the charm to fail, and Voldemort successfully entered James and Lily's home.
When Voldemort entered, James did not have his wand with him and could not defend himself, let alone protect his wife and child, and was instantly killed by the Avada Kedavra curse.
If, and I say if, James had followed Dumbledore's advice and used Dumbledore as the Secret-Keeper, or if Sirius had not been replaced, Voldemort might never have found the Potters.
Then James and Lily would not have had to die."
Lan Luo attributed all these problems to Peter Pettigrew, and of course, to Harry's father's overconfidence.
