The Messenger from Back Then Has Quite an Impressive Background / Someone Has a Weakness for Uniforms

However, if the Crown Prince doesn't allow William to learn magic, then the Crown Prince's family will have to remain under the Ministry of Magic's supervision until this magical talent completely disappears.

One should always be wary of others. The Crown Prince's family has a very special status, and no one can guarantee that the people from the Ministry of Magic won't take advantage of the situation!

Harry still vividly remembers the disastrous experience that happened with Dawlish!

Having understood Prince Charles's predicament, Harry could only sigh silently in his heart.

It is said that every family has its own troubles, but the Crown Prince's family has a much more difficult situation than that of ordinary families.

Not only was the couple's relationship a mess, but their most well-behaved child also developed problems.

"Harry, can I... trust you?" Harry was pondering when the prince's question suddenly caught him off guard.

"Your Highness...you?" Looking up, Harry found the other person staring at him with an extremely serious gaze.

The earnestness and expectation in his eyes were so intense that Harry almost dared not look directly at him.

"Suppose... if I agree to let William go to Hogwarts, could you help me look after him at the school?" Prince Charles asked in a trembling voice. "I know nothing about it and I'm very worried that something might happen to him..."

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much about that... Hogwarts is the safest place in the Britain Wizarding World."

Harry's words inevitably carried a hint of guilt, but he couldn't possibly tell Prince Charles the 'truth' at this moment.

Besides, as long as you don't go to the Forbidden Forest, don't play Quidditch, don't provoke Snape, don't attract Albus Dumbledore's attention, don't explore the secrets of the castle, and most importantly, don't get involved with anything related to yourself, Hogwarts should still be considered a safe place.

"As for Prince William, if he does indeed enter Hogwarts, I will certainly take care of him without hesitation," Harry solemnly promised the Prince. "You have helped me a great deal before, and I have never been able to repay you enough. Moreover, Prince William is also my friend, so I cannot neglect his affairs!"

"Harry, I'm glad to hear you say that, but I want William to receive comprehensive care, do you understand?" Prince Charles was urgent, even gripping Harry's shoulders tightly. "You not only need to help look after his school life, but also help him conceal his identity... Oh, and the communication issue! You know, our family absolutely cannot have any connection with wizards, so neither Highgrove House nor Kensington Palace can possibly have a single owl flying in or out!"

"This... I promise you." After a moment of silence, Harry nodded silently. "When I return to school this time, I will communicate with Professor McGonagall, who is in charge of new student admissions, in advance and ask her to change Prince William's contact address to my home address. Then my parents will contact you by phone."

"Oh, that would be wonderful!" Prince Charles looked at Harry gratefully, with a hint of apology on his face. "My child, I hope you won't take offense... I know my request will be difficult for you, but besides being a Royal Family commission, it is also a father's request."

"I can only admire your decision and be genuinely happy for Prince William because... he truly has a wonderful father."

Harry offered his compliment calmly, and the Crown Prince's face lit up with a smile upon hearing it.

After that, Prince Charles seemed to be in a much better mood because the problem had been resolved, and he began to talk to Harry about Prince William's enrollment in school, subtly inquiring about information about the Wizarding World from Harry just like an ordinary person.

While Harry was carefully dealing with the situation, he was already starting to think about the loophole he had just discovered.

He had been too busy to visit the Crown Prince's family before, so he hadn't found out the specific business dealings between the Royal Family and the Malfoy family. But the Crown Prince just said... that his family has never had anything to do with wizards!

Is it because you don't trust yourself that you're hiding things from yourself?

Harry disagreed.

If Prince Charles truly trusted Lucius Malfoy and other wizarding 'nobles' with whom he had business dealings, then he wouldn't have needed to worry about William's awakening of magical talent, much less seek help from a child like himself.

If Prince William were allowed to find a teacher, the Ministry of Magic could only watch helplessly, unable to intervene.

But the fact that he specifically sought him out shows that, in the Crown Prince's mind, Lucius's business partners were actually less trustworthy.

Prince Charles always presented himself as someone with only a superficial understanding of the Wizarding World. He knew about the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, and even that he was the Boy Who Lived who defeated Voldemort, but he didn't know much about the more detailed information.

But now it seems that he is clearly trying to cover up his actions and desperately trying to distance himself from the Wizarding World.

"Harry, I want to thank you again; you've really helped me a lot." At the end of the conversation, Prince Charles thanked Harry again. "If you're not in a hurry to leave, William is in the backyard... I think it would be better if you told him the good news yourself."

"Okay~" Harry nodded readily, "I can give him some instructions in advance."

"That would be wonderful," Prince Charles praised approvingly. "Harry, you are truly an exceptional child. At least when I was your age, I certainly couldn't have managed so many things so well."

"Your Highness, you flatter me greatly," Harry said with a modest smile, though his words seemed to carry a hidden meaning. "Besides, I was forced into this situation... As you know, from the time I was adopted until I entered Hogwarts, my entire life was arranged for me. Being exposed to this so much, even someone as dull-witted as me should have learned quite a bit."

"This..." Upon hearing Harry's words, Prince Charles's smile froze on his face unexpectedly.

Harry, who was about to leave, caught a glimpse of this scene and shook his head slightly inwardly.

Well, it seems this is confirmed too.

I knew it! How could things have been such a coincidence back then? Prince William's phone call landed him right in Hogwarts!

So it's still necessary to ask later who exactly misled Prince William back then.

Chapter 213 The messenger from back then was no ordinary person.

In the courtyard of Highgrove House, Prince William, the second in line to the Britain throne, was strolling aimlessly among the earthy, fragrant vegetation.

He seemed somewhat absent-minded, his eyes constantly glancing unconsciously at the tightly closed villa door not far away, clearly expecting something.

Finally, after a agonizing wait, Prince William saw the boy emerge from the villa and hurried to greet him.

"Harry, you're finally out! Uh..." He seemed very excited, but quickly realized he needed to maintain his manners, so he hurriedly readjusted his emotions.

"Did you and your father have a pleasant conversation?" Prince William asked Harry tentatively, barely suppressing his inner anxiety.

"We had a very pleasant conversation, Your Highness," Harry nodded with a smile, "But I think you'll be even more pleased after hearing the next piece of news... because His Highness the Crown Prince has agreed."

"Really... really? Father really agreed to let me go to... Hogwarts? That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing the news from Harry, Prince William immediately pumped his fist in delight. If it weren't for his excellent manners reminding him not to be disrespectful in front of Harry, he probably would have jumped for joy!

"You know, Harry ... when my father told me you were studying at a magical magic school, I was really envious. And when I discovered that the strange power I had was magic, I was genuinely happy at first!"

After a moment of excitement, Prince William's tone gradually turned somewhat somber. "But I soon discovered that magic seems to be a very dangerous force, especially when I can't control it, it can easily harm those around me..."

"Every young wizard goes through something similar, Your Highness, especially someone from an ordinary background like yours... uh, I mean, someone without other wizards in the family. It's normal for minor accidents to happen because you don't know how to handle magical outbursts."

Harry carefully chose his words as he tried to persuade William, and he could hear the self-reproach in William's tone.

Prince Charles just told Harry that William suddenly had a magical outburst while playing with his brother Harry, and accidentally lifted Harry two or three meters off the ground... Fortunately, he only suffered minor injuries.

After the incident, Prince William felt extremely guilty towards his brother and was even afraid to contact him again. As a result, Prince Harry was sent to the Kensington Palace to live with the Duchess.

Prince Charles finally came to the realization that William's magical talent could not be hidden, but he didn't quite trust the Ministry of Magic and his 'business partners,' so he eventually turned to Harry.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry anymore." Harry gently patted William's shoulder and comforted him gently. "Hogwarts has many great teachers who will teach you how to properly use your magic, and then there won't be any more problems."

"And you too!" William looked at Harry with wide eyes. "I'm so excited to actually become your classmate! I'll be so excited I won't be able to sleep for several nights!"

For a moment, Harry even thought he saw a Colin.

To be fair, being idolized by Prince William like that certainly satisfies Harry's vanity to a great extent.

The two chatted for a few more minutes. Harry told William about some basic things to do before starting school, which was also a way to help him prepare for school life a few months from now.

However, when William learned that he would not receive an acceptance letter sent by an owl like the other students, he was quite disappointed and even puffed out his cheeks.

"Your situation is a bit special," Harry said with a smile. "The acceptance letter usually arrives a few days before your eleventh birthday, and I'll ask my dad to bring it over then."

"Thank you!" Prince William smiled with delight, then scratched the back of his head somewhat sheepishly. "Uh... actually, I can go get it myself. I've always wanted to visit your house."

William genuinely considered Harry a friend, but when he expressed his hope that they would visit each other sometime, Harry's expression suddenly turned quite serious.

"Your Highness, from this moment on, you must remember this... Now that you have chosen to enter Hogwarts, you should try to minimize your public appearances. This is for the good of you and your family, understand?"

"Well... okay, I understand."

William's face looked a little troubled, but he still nodded earnestly in agreement.

Although he was only ten years old, he was a member of the most prestigious aristocracy in Britain, and his family's scholarly background meant that he knew more than other children from a young age.

Once he becomes a wizard, when he goes out as before, he will need to be wary of more than just paparazzi and reporters trying to dig up Royal Family news.

"However, if you really want to come to my house, it's not impossible. I can take you with me then~"

To everyone's surprise, seeing William's expression, Harry suddenly chuckled and changed his tune.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Upon hearing this, William could no longer contain his joy and burst into laughter.

Harry was happy to see William as he was now. Although the boy, who was two years younger than him, came from the Royal Family, he did not have even the slightest bit of the bad habits of the nobility. Therefore, no matter what kind of intrigue existed between Harry and the Crown Prince, he was willing to treat William as his friend.

"By the way, Prince William, there's something I actually wanted to ask you..." Just before saying goodbye and leaving the manor, Harry suddenly asked, feigning curiosity, "About two years ago, when His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess were having marital problems, why did you suddenly think of coming to find me?"

"It was an older brother who was visiting the manor that reminded me," Prince William told Harry without much thought. "Some of my father's political friends were having a small gathering at the manor, and that older brother was with his uncle. I happened to be in a bad mood that day, and he quietly approached me and said that when you're feeling down, you can talk to a friend. That's when I thought of you."

"Oh, this 'brother' is quite thoughtful." Harry smiled casually. "He must be quite young, right?"

"He must have been seventeen or eighteen years old then," William recalled briefly. "His last name was Shacklebolt, and his uncle should be working in the Prime Minister's office now. It's a pity I haven't seen him since then."

"Is that so? That's quite a pity~"

Harry sighed quietly, bid farewell, and left Highgrove House.

Therefore, the 'brother' who instigated Prince William to call her in the past, and the 'messenger' who came to her door to deceive Hermione after she left, should be the same person.

When I first enrolled at Hogwarts two years ago, this person was in seventh grade and had an uncle who was likely holding important positions in both the British Government and the Ministry of Magic, and who was also favored by both Prince Charles and Dumbledore!

Thanks to this shrewd uncle and nephew, Prince Charles was able to conspire with Albus Dumbledore to forcefully lure him to Hogwarts.

It must be said that this is indeed a grand strategy.

However, speaking of Shacklebolt...

Harry felt like he'd seen that surname somewhere before.

Chapter 214 Someone Has No Resistance to Uniforms

"You mean Prince William has awakened a magical talent?"

"And you're going to Hogwarts like them?!" *2

Sure enough, when Harry explained to his family why the Crown Prince had invited him, all three people in the living room were shocked.

"Unbelievable... We can actually be classmates with Prince William?" The academically gifted girl paced back and forth in the living room in disbelief, her mouth agape as if she had an egg in her mouth.

Seeing her like that, Harry felt a little disappointed.

With his parents present, he couldn't resort to the more agreeable methods to stop it.

However, he could give Hermione a heads-up beforehand. "Don't get too excited yet. Once Prince William enters Hogwarts, there will definitely be a lot of trouble."

Hogwarts is not a 'normal' prestigious school like Eton College. Once Prince William enrolls, it means that Harry and Hermione will have to devote a lot of energy to taking care of this 'ordinary person' with a special background starting from their third year.

"Whatever, even if we don't take care of him, will we really have an easier time?" To everyone's surprise, Hermione nonchalantly raised her chin. "Besides, he's a prince of a country! If he could follow us around like Colin every day, I'd feel pretty proud!"

Well, it seems Hermione wasn't afraid at all.

That makes sense, after all, the more debts you have, the less you worry; the two Granger are already a lot of trouble at school, so it doesn't matter if there's another William.

And judging from her extremely vain expression, Harry knew that she was thinking exactly the same thing as him.

They really are a perfect couple!

In short, the Granger family had now made up their minds that their two children would accompany the Crown Prince in his studies. And just a few days after Harry's visit to Highgrove House, a return gift from the Britain Royal Family was delivered with great care.

Inside a simply yet elegantly packaged gift box, neatly stacked, lay a beautifully crafted and luxuriously designed uniform. The overall style was similar to that of the adjutant beside the Crown Prince, except that it was a child's size and lacked any decorative ribbons or medals on the shoulders.

In addition, a scroll lay quietly at the bottom of the gift box.

"Could this be... a letter of appointment?!"

After the family read the contents of the scroll with some skepticism, Hermione froze in place again, and the Mr. and Mrs. Granger were equally shocked.

In this book, the Queen of Britain, in her own name, promised Harry that he could become Prince William's page and entrusted Harry to take good care of Prince William at school.

"No, this should be considered a 'fake' letter of appointment," Harry corrected with a laugh.

The reason for this is that written mandates are currently impossible to implement.

Prince William and Harry are both minors, so the former cannot have his own page, and the latter cannot serve the Royal Family as a child laborer.

Therefore, the Queen appointed the future Harry in the scroll... He doesn't even need to be eighteen; as long as Harry turns sixteen, he can officially serve the Royal Family.

"That's still amazing!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise. "Who else could receive a Royal Family appointment at the young age of thirteen like you?"

"It can only be said that Her Majesty the Queen truly dotes on her eldest grandson, but... the thought of a page is strangely amusing~"

As Harry fiddled with the book in his hands, a hint of amusement gradually appeared on his face.

Because he was to accompany Prince William to his studies, he received a promise from a page, and William secretly acted like his younger brother... This kind of relationship would instantly remind Harry of a high-ranking pageboy and the foolish son of the Grand Tutor Hua.

And then William happens to have a younger brother, what a coincidence!

Of course, William and his brother are definitely not stupid kids, and Harry could not possibly change his name to Hua An.

To be honest, Harry doesn't think the Royal Family really intends for him to stay by William's side indefinitely, and he certainly has no intention of serving the Royal Family wholeheartedly.

This feigned appointment is more likely a disguised gesture of goodwill.
