Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 806
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny departed from Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express and arrived at London's Kingdom Cross Station at 3 p.m., where they were met by the rest of the Weasley family and Sirius Black, who had been waiting for them.

"Black!" As soon as Harry got off the train, he ran over excitedly and gave Sirius Black a big bear hug—

"How's this semester going?" Sirius hugged Harry tightly and then rubbed Harry's messy hair as he asked.

"Great! Great! The new educational reforms at Tierra have made this semester's classes incredibly fun!" Harry exclaimed happily. "Sirius, would you like to come on our trip too?"

“Of course.” Sirius affectionately patted Harry’s head. “When Mr. Weasley told me about this trip, I asked to join, and Tyrell agreed.”

“But of course, I probably won’t follow the whole way. To be precise, I’ll walk with you all the way to the border between Germany and Austria, and then we’ll take different routes,” Sirius added.

"Do you have a mission?" Harry asked.

“No, Harry, it’s something personal. I’ve heard from my relatives in Germany that the Dark Lord is roaming the Austrian border, and I’m going to investigate,” Sirius said kindly.

"The Dark Lord? Voldemort!" Harry exclaimed, his voice trembling. "Then Black, are you in danger?"

“Why don’t we notify Tierra?” Hermione said from the side, “and let Tierra handle this.”

“No, there’s no need to bother him.” Sirius shook his head and refused. “It’s just some baseless conjecture and speculation on my part. There’s no need to waste public resources on it.”

“Then you must be careful.” Harry knew that his godfather was stubborn and once he made a decision, no one could change it.

Although Harry was also worried about Sirius's safety, he quickly thought that Sirius was someone who had managed to escape from Azkaban prison on his own and survive for two years right under the Ministry of Magic's nose; ordinary difficulties would probably be no match for him. "Alright, children, we can chat later, once we're on the ship. We have plenty of time on the road; Muggle transport doesn't wait for anyone," Mr. Weasley urged. "We're taking a cruise to France this time, which will be quite a long journey, probably sixteen to seventeen hours."

Mr. Weasley's voice carried a very obvious tone of excitement.

It was clearly his first time riding a Muggle cruise ship.

“We’ll probably start boarding around 4:30 tonight, then we’ll board the cruise ship, and we’ll arrive in France around 8 or 9 a.m. tomorrow. Then we’ll take a tour bus to Paris,” Mr. Weasley said, leading Harry and the others to the street outside the train station.

“Now, let’s call a Muggle car in the Muggle way—” Mr. Weasley held out his hand, making a gesture as if he were hailing a taxi.

However, before Mr. Weasley could finish his gesture, a Muggle taxi pulled up in front of them. The window rolled down, revealing the face of a middle-aged male driver.

"Hello! Where do you need to go?" the driver asked with a smile.

“We need to go to London Port,” Mr. Weasley replied. “We hope to arrive before 4:30 this afternoon.”

"No problem, get in!" The driver opened the door and gestured for them to get in.
