Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 30 News from an Old Friend
"After Mr. Potter and Lanlock died together, there was no news of his friends." Hagrid shrugged. "But it has been a hundred years. Even if they are still alive, they are already very old."

Finally, he added another sentence.

"Time is always merciless."

"But they are all excellent people," Harry frowned and asked, "They are definitely not unknown."

Hagrid shook his head and said, "I don't know about these, but I have never heard of any friend who fought alongside Mr. Potter back then, so many people think that this person is fictional."

After chatting for a while, Hermione also found the news about the theft at Gringotts in the newspaper.

"It turns out that Gringotts is not as safe as they boast." Hermione read the newspaper, "The latest report on the illegal break-in at Gringotts. The investigation into the illegal break-in at Gringotts on July 26 is still ongoing. It is generally believed that this was done by unknown dark wizards and witches. The goblins of Gringotts reiterated today that nothing was stolen. The underground vault searched by the intruders had actually been emptied earlier that day. A spokesperson for the Gringotts goblins said this afternoon: We have no comment on what is stored in the vault. Please do not interfere with this matter."

"July 26th?"

Harry suddenly remembered that it was the day Hagrid took him to Gringotts to get money.

So he asked, "Hagrid, the day the break-in at Gringotts happened was the day we went there together, so it's very likely that we were there when it happened!"

However, this time, Hagrid did not answer. He lowered his head, not daring to look Harry in the eye, and reached out to hand Harry a cup of tea.

"Try this. I picked some chamomile in the Forbidden Forest earlier." Hagrid tried to change the subject. "Drink this in water. It will be good for the inflammation on your gums."

Seeing that Hagrid didn't say anything and even tried to change the subject, Harry didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After all, that was something Headmaster Dumbledore had entrusted him with, so he certainly couldn't just talk about it casually.

He took the newspaper from Hermione and read it carefully - the underground vault that had been searched by the intruder had actually been emptied earlier that day... combined with Hagrid's reaction, the vault that this mysterious wizard broke into must have been the vault they had been to!
But the vault had been emptied, which meant that there was only this small cloth bag in the vault.

It seems that the target of this mysterious wizard must be the things that Hagrid took away.

All the way back, he was brainstorming in his mind.

While thinking, he was still missing Omnis, the Slytherin boy who had been his external brain for several years.

If Omi were here, he would definitely help me unravel the mystery and analyze the useful clues, Harry thought.

Not only was Harry thinking about the break-in at Gringotts, he was also thinking about his old friend.

He still couldn't believe that there would be no news from those outstanding classmates.

Something must have happened!
After thinking about it in his mind, he thought of two people.

Cassandra Malfoy, and Gareth Weasley.

The descendants of these two people are attending school, and one of them is still my good friend.

But how should I ask this question? If I ask Ron directly, "Hey man, does your family have an ancestor named Gareth?" He will definitely ask how do you know my great grandfather?

As for Malfoy, there is no need to mention it. How could that annoying kid possibly answer his questions?

Just as I thought of Ron, I heard Ron talking loudly beside me.

"Muggle flying objects are really clumsy," said Ron. "When I was riding Charlie's broken broom, I almost hit a glider..." Hermione raised her head and looked at him very seriously.

The meaning of that look is, you know what I am going to say.

Ron's face flushed instantly. He forgot that the know-it-all lady in front of him came from a Muggle family.

It's bad, bragging has fallen into the hands of an expert.

Fortunately, Hermione just glared at him and didn't expose his bragging. Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

I wanted to save my dignity, but fortunately...

However, he did not brag, but Draco at the Slytherin table behind him began to brag loudly.

"What a pity, Weasley, you just almost hit the glider." He boasted loudly: "You should have heard that once I almost hit a Muggle helicopter while flying. Fortunately, I was quick and dodged it. That time my father was scared and scolded me."

Finally, he added: "It's a pity that first-year students are not allowed to join the Quidditch team, otherwise I would definitely show my skills."

"What a boast." Hermione complained loudly to Harry and Ron: "A little wizard like him who can't even use magic well will only be smashed into a pulp by the propellers of a helicopter."

Ron was her friend, so of course she wouldn't expose him on the spot - but Draco was different. He had scolded her and even touched her wand since they met.

Want her to show mercy to Draco?

dream.

"Hey! Miss... Know-it-all!" Draco stopped the urge to insult Hermione and started calling Hermione's nickname: "Do you think you know a lot about flying brooms? I bet you don't even dare to fly on a broom!"

Hermione sneered and mocked back, "Oh, Drama Queen, I may not know broomsticks, but I know helicopters."

Malfoy's face suddenly turned red, and he began to say some random words, like Muggles are really annoying, and there are know-it-alls. The Gryffindor table was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Draco, let's ignore them." Pansy Parkinson, who looked like a poodle, coaxed Draco: "They are just jealous of your flying talent. Don't worry, when the flying lesson comes, I will definitely open their eyes."

Perhaps Pansy's comfort worked, and Draco regained his arrogant look.

After all, apart from the helicopter part which was a bit outrageous, the others were not exaggerated.

He is still very confident in his flying skills.

Since he was four years old, Draco has been riding a children's version of a flying broom around Malfoy Manor. Do you understand the experience of a seven-year veteran broom player?

Harry actually likes flying very much. Although Headmaster Phineas Black banned him from playing Quidditch, he never missed a flying class.

But now he obviously has more important things to do, such as... finding out information about his old friends.

During the night, then, Harry thought.

Go to the map secret room at the bottom of the castle and take a look. Perhaps Vilatia, who also possesses the ancient magic heritage, has left him some clues there.
