The LeMay Couple Flew In by Carriage / Harry's Closest Relatives Came to Demand an Explanation

Her sister, Daphne Greengrass Greengrass, had already gone home for Christmas, but she didn't know why she was staying behind alone.

After Astoria Greengrass took her seat, a rather interesting scene unfolded in the Great Hall.

There were two long tables. One table was occupied by a total of thirteen teachers, with Dumbledore clearly at the center. The other table had nine people, including teachers and students, but the center was undoubtedly Harry, a student.

Moreover, both tables were filled with students from the Four Houses of Hogwarts... as if it were some kind of coincidence.

"Alright, let's begin our meal." Seeing that the instructors were already enjoying their drinks, Harry smiled and announced the start of the meal.

"Let's wait a little longer." However, Luna Lovegood suddenly spoke up to stop him, "There are still people who haven't arrived, and..."

She hesitated for a moment, as if noticing something, then leaned close to Harry's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "And someone's sitting at the wrong table."

Did you sit at the wrong table?

Harry glanced at Luna Lovegood with a puzzled look, then subconsciously glanced at the uneasy Astoria Greengrass, wondering if Luna Lovegood was referring to the first-year Slytherin.

"Haha! Harry, I've come to play with you!"

However, just as Harry was racking his brains, a cheerful voice suddenly drifted in from outside the door. "And look... who did I bring?!"

"The Godfather? And... Corvus?!"

Harry stared blankly toward the entrance of the Great Hall, only to find Sirius running toward him with a beaming smile.

And right next to him was Corvus Lestrange, Auror whom Harry had met in France!

So...

Suddenly, Harry was filled with surprise.

The fact that Corvus is here means... the Flamel couple may have already arrived!

(P. S. To explain Lupin's situation, in the original story, Lupin did not attend the Christmas lunch because he was in the transformation period of the full moon.)

But J. K. Rowling's calculations of dates in her books are never very accurate. I checked the calendar, and December 24th, 1993, according to the Chinese China calendar, would be the 12th day of the 11th lunar month. So, it wasn't actually a full moon yet. That's all.

Chapter 341 The Flamel couple flew over in a carriage.

"Haha, how was it? Were you surprised? I heard you weren't going back to London for Christmas, so I thought I'd come and visit you!"

Inside the Great Hall, Sirius was excitedly patting Harry on the shoulder, his excitement practically overflowing.

"Hmph, what a stupid dog who only knows how to circle around Granger." After seeing this scene, Snape was sitting at the teachers' table, snorted disdainfully, then turned his head to the side, choosing to avoid seeing it.

"Snivellus, what's it to you that I'm here to see my godson? But I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother arguing with you~" Sirius retorted without any politeness, and then continued to linger next to Harry.

"Godfather, Corvus, how did you two get together?" Harry asked, his face full of surprise.

"It's all because of your godfather, he's really something else~" Corvus said, somewhat amused as he recalled how they met. "Not only did he intercept the origami owl we sent you in advance, but after hearing my last name, he even pulled me into a fight at the school gate."

After listening to Corvus's brief account of the events, Harry finally understood what had just happened.

Because he needs to welcome the Flamel couple at school, Harry has decided not to return to London this Christmas, and his previously arranged visit to Sirius's house has also been put on hold.

After learning this news, Sirius decided to come to the school to play with Harry on Christmas Eve.

However, just as he arrived at Hogwarts on his flying motorcycle, he coincidentally discovered the origami owl that Nicolas Flamel had sent in advance, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he tore the paper bird to shreds...

This is definitely Sirius's style!

The origami owl was made by Nicolas Flamel, and it was damaged on the way. Nicolas Flamel naturally sensed this and hurriedly sent Corvus to check it out.

Quite by chance, the two met unexpectedly at the school gate, and then, after Corvus introduced himself, they started fighting...

"No, I didn't know he was from France at the time," Sirius scratched his head awkwardly. "When I heard his last name was Lestrange, I thought he was Death Eater."

"Yeah, if the Dementor hadn't surrounded us later, and if I hadn't been able to use the Patronus Charm, I probably wouldn't have been able to explain it all," Corvus chimed in with a laugh, though there was no hint of complaint in his tone.

Strictly speaking, their relationship should be described as one of "becoming friends after a fight".

Especially when they finally realized that one of them was Harry's godfather and the other was the teacher who escorted Harry, their relationship immediately became much closer, and they even seemed to feel like they had known each other for a long time.

"It's an honor to meet you, Headmaster Dumbledore." After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Harry, Corvus politely approached Dumbledore to greet him. "I am Corvus Lestrange, Auror working at the French Ministry of Magic. I apologize for the intrusion, but I am here to escort Nicolas Flamel and his wife to Hogwarts."

"Hello, have Nicolas Flamel and the others arrived yet?" Dumbledore asked, quickly rising to greet them.

"Ah! No! Headmaster, how can you get up so early? You'll be the first to die!" Trelawney screamed in panic at that moment.

Her behavior naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among everyone in the Great Hall.

"Sibyl Trelawney, I believe that unless there are axemen lying in wait at the door right now, what you're saying is absolutely impossible," Professor McGonagall scolded Trelawney angrily. "We have distinguished guests today, can you please stop spouting such nonsense?!"

"Corvus, where are the teachers?" Ignoring the unpleasant Divination professor, Harry asked Corvus anxiously.

"It's just outside." Corvus gestured towards the Great Hall door. "The Flamel couple were worried their arrival would be abrupt, so they sent me and Blake to let you know in advance."

"I'm coming right now!" Harry hurried out of the Great Hall, turning back to tell the two girls behind him, "Hermione, Luna Lovegood, you two come too."

"Grandpa's coming? I want to go!"

Upon hearing that the Flamel couple had arrived, Luna Lovegood's big eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly grabbed Hermione's hand and ran out of the Great Hall.

"Is she Harry's teacher...?" "How curious!"

The remaining people in the Great Hall also showed interest, and in twos and threes followed them Great Hall...

The camera cuts to Harry, who has just stepped out of the door when he is immediately drawn to a very luxuriously decorated carriage outside the Great Hall.

Especially noteworthy are the two tall, magnificent horses pulling the carriage. They are pure white, with a physique even stronger than that of Hippogriff a pair of wings on their backs that rival the white snow. Their overall appearance is extremely majestic.

"Aren't these the Abraxan?" Harry recognized the breed of the two precious winged horses at a glance.

"Indeed, you have excellent taste," Corvus nodded and smiled. "These two Abraxan, and this carriage, were generously donated by Headmistress Olympe Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. As you know, the Flamel couple aren't in the best of health, and a carriage is more comfortable for long journeys. By the way... these two horses can stay at Hogwarts from now on. Madame Maxime specifically instructed that they require very strong people to care for them, and they will only drink the finest single malt whisky."

"Please thank Madame Maxime for me, and also tell her that we happen to have an excellent caregiver here."

Harry turned and gestured to Hagrid, who was grinning from ear to ear, looking as happy as a three-and-a-half-meter-tall child.

"Is he... also a Half-blood- Giant? What a coincidence." Corvus carefully examined Hagrid, a look of interest appearing on his face.

"Teacher, you must be tired from your journey." Arriving at the carriage, Harry finally saw the Flamel couple again after several months apart.

At this moment, their wrinkled faces were also filled with kind smiles.

"It's alright, with Corvus helping to drive, the journey has been very comfortable."

Nicolas Flamel smiled at Harry, who quickly reached out and respectfully helped him down from the carriage.

"Grandpa, Grandma!" Luna Lovegood had already come over and naturally helped Perenelle.

"We had so much to pack, which caused a delay, and we didn't expect to arrive so late. Doctor, is it bad timing that we've come?"

Since seeing Harry, Nicolas Flamel's smile has never faded; he even joked with Harry happily.

"Teacher, you must be joking!" Harry quickly replied, "The school is having a Christmas party right now, and we haven't even started eating yet. Your arrival means we have a few more distinguished guests."

"Great! We haven't eaten with Corvus either, so let's have a feast at Hogwarts." Nicolas Flamel nodded readily, but the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Doctor, tell me... have you encountered any troubles lately?"

Chapter 342 Harry's closest relatives have come to demand an explanation.

"Worries? I... of course I don't have any~"

Upon hearing Nicolas Flamel's question, Harry hesitated for a moment, then quickly put on a bright smile, "What could I possibly have to worry about on such a festive day? Now that you two are here, and with Corvus and my godfather, we can all be together again. I'm overjoyed!"

While trying his best to laugh it off to his teacher, Harry couldn't help but suspect that Nicolas Flamel must have heard something.

"You silly child, I know you don't want us old folks to worry, but you can't keep all your grievances bottled up Perenelle. Just you wait, I'll get back at you for all the grievances you've suffered lately!"

Nicolas Flamel gave Harry a slightly annoyed look, then suddenly turned to Dumbledore, who was already standing outside the Great Hall, and walked shakily toward him.

"Dumbledore, Doctor... I mean Harry, he suffered so much injustice before, and you still have the mood to throw a banquet here?!"

Mr. Nicolas Flamel's words completely stunned everyone present.

Harry, in particular, who was being protected, looked utterly incredulous.

The teacher... he really came to stand up for me and defend me?

"Nicolas Flamel... what are you saying? When have I ever made Harry suffer?"

Dumbledore was completely dumbfounded. He had even prepared a welcoming speech when he heard that the Flamel couple were coming, but he never expected them to give him such a shock right from the start.

Judging from his posture, he clearly felt that Harry had been bullied by him, so he came to confront him.

The problem is, given Harry's mischievous and unruly behavior at school, who would dare to let him suffer any injustice?

"You still dare to say he wasn't wronged? I'm asking you, what's the deal with that Lucius Malfoy guy?" Nicolas Flamel glared at Dumbledore, clearly displeased. "Let me tell you, I know pretty much everything he's done. If you don't give me an explanation today, this isn't over!"

"Huh? You're asking about Lucius Malfoy, well..."

Dumbledore was speechless for a moment. He never expected Nicolas Flamel to ask this, especially in front of so many people!

"Well, I think I'd better explain the details myself..."

"I don't need you!"

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become tense, Corvus wanted to step forward to explain and ease the tension, but Nicolas Flamel yelled at him and then continued to keep a close eye on Dumbledore.

Everyone else present didn't dare to breathe, and had no idea how Dumbledore would quell the legendary figure's nameless rage.

"The teacher already knows about the Malfoy family? Even so, there's no need for him to make things difficult for the headmaster..."

Harry couldn't help but feel worried, but he was even more concerned that Nicolas Flamel and Dumbledore had fallen out.

After all, the Chocolate Frog Card clearly state that Nicolas Flamel and Albus Dumbledore had a very close relationship.

"Son, just stay here and watch. Nicolas Flamel will handle everything." Seeing Harry's tense expression, Perenelle explained softly, "Newt and Tina told us about your recent situation, and we've also heard about what happened to the little Prophet's father. Nicolas Flamel and I were very unhappy to hear this, so don't worry, Nicolas Flamel will definitely help you get revenge today!"

"Well... alright, thank you both very much then~" Seeing Perenelle's equally indignant expression, Harry could only retreat silently and accept the two old men's well-intentioned but clearly biased favor.

"Lucius Malfoy? What's this? It sounds like he was plotting against Harry before?" While the Flamel couple were still on the verge of conflict, Sirius, who had come with them, had already picked up on the clues.

He clenched his knuckles tightly, his eyes suddenly flashing with a fierce light. "That bastard... he's got a death wish, isn't he?!"

"Padfoot, things have already gotten complicated enough, can you please stop making things worse?" Seeing Sirius's shouts causing a large group of people to frown, Lupin quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Moony, which eye of yours saw me causing trouble?" Sirius, his anger blazing, flung Lupin's hand away. "That damned bastard dared to mess with Harry! Does he really think I'm still in Azkaban? Believe me or not, I'll go and kill his whole family right now!!"

"You... why are you getting more and more excited as you talk?" Lupin frowned speechlessly at the sight, while patiently continuing to dissuade his old friend.

Strangely, Snape Sirius, remained silent, letting his old rival ramble on and on.

"Alright... Godfather, please stop this." Harry sighed and tried to dissuade him. "Let's leave this to the teacher."

Honestly, Harry is really overwhelmed right now.

Sirius, in particular, whose outbursts were even more intense than Nicolas Flamel's, said things that left Harry both amused and exasperated.

Come on, Lucius's wife is one of your cousins, and Draco Malfoy is your nephew too!

Murdering the whole family... listen to that nonsense!

However, it's safe to say that Harry was definitely touched.

Once upon a time, after he was brought to Hogwarts against his will, he had thought more than once...

If he had even one close relative by his side, he would never have allowed Dumbledore to 'use' him in this way.

But now that these people who are unconditionally good to him have actually appeared one by one, Harry feels a little unreal.

Perhaps... happiness came too suddenly~

"Dumbledore, I'm asking you... have you ever truly considered fully supporting Harry?!"

Harry had finally managed to calm Sirius down, but Nicolas Flamel's reprimand of Dumbledore was far from over.

This old man, who was over six hundred years old, was pointing his pale finger at the other person's nose, clearly determined to get back at him.

"I, of course I want to support Harry... but this matter is of great importance and cannot be handled simply," Dumbledore patiently explained, feeling utterly exhausted.

Nicolas Flamel... please open your eyes and look at Harry! He's been spoiled rotten! How am I supposed to support him anymore?
