Visiting Arthur (Thanks to Tokyo Pearl for the Boba Milk Tea, Thank You!)
Around noon, Harry, Ron, and the others' luggage was delivered from the Hogwarts Academy. They changed into Muggle clothes, jeans, and sweatshirts, but everyone except Harry was chatting and laughing.
Tonks and Mad-Eye Moody also arrived; they were going to go with Harry and the others, or rather, to protect Harry on the way.
However, Tonks was very curious about Harry's dreams, wondering if Harry had awakened some kind of bloodline, like Professor Trelawney, who could Prophecy.
Harry didn't want to discuss this topic.
Carson's convoy was already parked outside. Mad-Eye Moody originally intended to sneak over by subway, since none of them were very familiar with the Muggle world. However, Su Yu felt that the subway would attract more attention, so he called Carson and asked him to prepare three cars.
Rolls-Royce offers excellent concealment; outsiders can't see inside at all. As long as you're careful when getting in and out, it's generally much better than taking the subway, where you have to walk several blocks.
Because Christmas was approaching, shops selling Christmas items were everywhere along the road. The group sat in the car, with Ginny and Hermione peering curiously out the window. Hermione was born into Muggle family, but Ginny was quite rare, much like Kurama, and was full of curiosity.
Speaking of the Kurama...
Gan! I forgot about her again! It's already afternoon!
Su Yu casually opened a spatial portal the size of a washbasin, reached in with his right hand, and pulled out Kurama, who was still so angry he couldn't eat.
I'll bite you to death, bite you to death, bite you to death!
As soon as the Kurama came out, it showered Su Yu with kisses all over his body... In no time, Su Yu's neck and arms were covered in hickeys.
"How am I supposed to face anyone when I go out later?"
Su Yu rubbed Kurama's little head, making her fur all messy.
"Hmph, I don't care! It's your fault for forgetting me again!"
The car stopped in front of the red-brick department store, and we walked together into the window display featuring the particularly ugly mannequin.
Second floor, Creature-Induced Injuries Ward.
Arthur, leaning against several pillows, sat on the hospital bed, reading the Daily Prophet. When he saw Harry and the others enter, he quickly put down the newspaper, tossed it aside, and welcomed them.
"Molly, Bill just left. He's going back to work. He said he'd come see you before he left."
"How are you, darling? You still look a little weak."
Molly simply leaned down and gently kissed Arthur's cheek; all she wanted now was for Arthur to get better as soon as possible.
"I'm fine, Molly," Arthur hugged Ginny with his uninjured arm, raising his injured arm to show he was alright. "I could have gone home by now if they hadn't refused to remove the bandages."
"Then why didn't you take it down, Dad?"
Fred then started to help George remove the bandages from his father's back.
"No..." Arthur quickly stopped his two mischievous sons, "Because every time the doctor removes it, blood gushes out, and I don't want to be covered in blood again."
Arthur casually picked up his wand from the bedside table, waved it to conjure several chairs, gesturing for them to sit down, and then continued.
"It seems the snake's venom contained components that could prevent wound healing, but the doctors haven't found an antidote yet. However, they've encountered more severe cases than mine, so trust them. I'll just take iron supplements every hour for now..."
Arthur spoke casually, while Kurama and Hermione kept staring at the man in the next bed, whose eyes were green as he lay quietly on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
"He was bitten by Werewolf. Alas, poor kid, he can't be healed."
Seeing their curiosity, Arthur lowered his voice and said something.
"What? Werewolf!" Molly exclaimed in alarm, lowering her voice. "Is he safe here? He's Werewolf, why isn't he being isolated?"
"Don't worry, Molly, there are still two weeks until the full moon. I've talked to him too, and I want him to have the courage to try and live on. I told him I also know a Werewolf, but of course I didn't mention his name. I just said he's a nice person and doing well."
Yes, it's pretty good, but I can't even afford a piece of clothing...
Su Yu mentally complained.
"What did he say?" George asked, somewhat curious.
He said he'd bite me if I didn't shut up...
Arthur was somewhat frustrated.
After that, no matter how much Fred and George asked what had happened the night before, Arthur dodged the questions; he didn't want to tell the children the specifics.
"Then don't say anything!"
Arthur and Molly didn't tell Fred the details until Fred walked out of the ward.
But are the Weasley twins really that easily defeated?
Obviously not.
George pulled out his Extendable Ear from his pocket, Fred gave him a thumbs up, and then pulled Harry along, and the three of them pressed their faces against the door to listen.
However, the more Harry listened, the paler he became. He only understood half of what was being said, and with his own imagination running wild, he was nearly scared to death.
Given Su Yu's playful personality, he certainly wouldn't stop Harry; on the contrary, he preferred to see Harry like this, his heart rate nearly exceeding 160.
"Is Harry alright...?"
Hermione looked towards Harry with some concern.
"Him? What could possibly happen to him? Headmaster Dumbledore and so many people are protecting him. He's just prone to overthinking."
Indeed, Harry is overthinking things right now.
He overheard the people inside talking about Voldemort, and they mentioned what would happen if Voldemort possessed Harry...
Harry was going crazy. What if he turned into Quirrell? He quickly touched the back of his head, then thought that he was dirty now, like he had been contaminated. He didn't deserve to stand here with them, a group of clean, pure people who hadn't been corrupted by Voldemort.
I am that weapon... Voldemort's weapon for killing... Last night, Voldemort used me to kill Arthur; Voldemort made me do it... He might be inside my stomach right now, or he might be in my head, listening to what I'm thinking...
It has to be said that Harry really does have a vivid imagination. If Su Yu knew this, he would laugh his head off. Does he really think Voldemort can read your mind? He does nothing but pester you Tenten.
Seeing Harry's increasingly pale face, Molly told him to go and get some sleep as soon as they returned to Black Ancestral Home.
But Harry was too upset to sleep; he just wanted to be alone for a while.
But... no! If Voldemort were on me right now, then... the Order of the Phoenix, Black Ancestral Home, all of that would be exposed! And all those things I heard that I shouldn't have heard!
Harry immediately got up and packed his things; he was going to run away.
