A year later, Harry ran into Director Lorne again at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
" Director Lorne," Harry, no longer the awkwardness he felt when he first met Lorne here, "You've been incredibly busy lately."
Lorne wholeheartedly agreed.
He nodded, took out a welcome gift, and handed it to Ginny behind the two of them. "You won't get any welcome gifts this year, hurry up and get in the car."
Ginny accepted the gift and thanked them quietly, then crossed the platform with her parents.
Harry and Ron clearly had something to say to Lorne, so they stayed until the end.
" Director Lorne, Ginny got a gold card at the Magic Mobile Phone Shop. How do I use the redemption code on it?"
Lorne exclaimed incredulously, "Didn't I write the tutorial on the card?"
"Really?" Harry scratched his head. "I thought I was looking for a tutorial in the game. It was Ginny's card; I only asked what the redemption code was."
"Also, Harry wants to update the remaining two software programs. Cuckoo and Senior's Help, should we go to the store?"
The Magic Mobile Phone sold on the opening day all came with four apps pre-installed, so no one would go to the store to install them. The Magic Mobile Phone distributed before that were all in the hands of Hogwarts students, so Lorne carried the storage components with him.
"We'll talk about it at school. If I have time to come back to the shop, I'll bring your Magic Mobile Phone with me."
"No 'them,' Director," Ron said with a sour face, "I don't have Magic Mobile Phone."
"..."
"Alright, let's not talk about that now. The train is about to leave, so let's get in."
Lorne sat back down at his table, watching Harry and Ron back up as they prepared to accelerate and push the cart, without offering any warning.
If he remembered correctly, Dobby was somewhere hiding Dobby now, about to turn Platform Nine and Three-Quarters into a solid structure.
Sure enough, Harry's stroller crashed into the platform with a thud, scattering books all over the floor, while Hedwig flapped her wings in her cage. Ron, who was close behind Harry, slowed down slightly upon hearing the noise, but still crashed headfirst into the platform.
Hearing the noise, the Muggle train conductor turned around and shouted, "Are you all crazy?"
Lorne searched everywhere for Dobby, but the House-elf ' concealment magic was so excellent that he couldn't find him at all.
He helped Harry pick up his books and comforted Hedwig in the cage.
Harry politely thanked him, "Thank you, Master."
Lorne waved his hand and tapped on the stone bricks of the platform. It Dobby had temporarily canceled the teleportation magic on the platform, and the platform was now a physical structure made of bricks and stones.
Ron's expression was exaggerated. "What's going on? We can't get through!"
"The train is about to leave; we're going to miss the Hogwarts Express."
" Director Lorne, what should we do?"
Lorne didn't know what to do either.
I originally thought that if I could catch Dobby, I could stop it; if I couldn't, I would try to see if my magic could break Dobby's spell.
Neither will work.
But Lorne remained completely unfazed. He simply pulled a Magic Mobile Phone from his pocket, held it in his hands for a few seconds, and then smiled confidently, "All done."
Ron's eyes widened. "All done? What's done? My and Harry's withdrawal papers?"
"I've already messaged Hagrid and asked him to explain the situation to Dumbledore. Now let's wait for the school's arrangements."
"You might miss tonight's banquet, but we also have time to install the new software on Harry's Magic Mobile Phone," Lorne emphasized the word " Harry," then looked at Ron with interest. "You see, saying 'Harry' alone isn't quite right, which is why I said 'you all' earlier."
Ron: "You're holding a grudge, Chief."
Hagrid replied quickly, saying that the school would send someone to resolve the issue immediately, and that Lorne and the others could take the express train to Hogwarts the next day. The school would provide them with a carriage and House-elf to carry their luggage.
"You see, when you encounter a problem you can't solve, you must let your superiors and the organization know about it. Someone will help us solve the problem, and even if they can't solve it, as long as you report the problem, you can be exempted from responsibility."
After Lorne told Harry and Ron the news, he gave them a lecture, but Sains, who was hiding behind the door, wrote it down in his notebook.
"Let the leaders know... help me solve the problem... and I can be exempted from responsibility..." Sains muttered to himself as he took notes.
But Ron clearly didn't think so, "Maybe we can drive. My dad has a flying car. If we drive it, a lot of classmates might be envious."
"Don't bother remembering, Sains," Lorne finally understood how difficult it was to correct a problem student's thinking. He shouted at Sains, who was hiding behind the door, then turned to Ron and said sternly, "But it's more likely that your car will crash into the Whomping Willow at Hogwarts, your car will be whipped by the Whomping Willow and run away from home, and after facing expulsion, you'll be threatened with Howler from your mother!"
Ron was stunned. "Why do I feel like you're telling the truth, Chief?"
I hope you'll get it.
Lorne rubbed his temples. No wonder the Weasley family were born Gryffindor. He was really worried that Ron would do something even more exciting at school because he didn't get a car this time.
Lorne's restaurant was a great place to eat and had a lot of fun, at least that's what Harry and Ron thought.
The Magic Mobile Phone store now offers prepaid phone plans at very affordable prices. Many people spend the whole day there, and even the private rooms on the second floor are always packed.
Lorne led Harry and Ron to his room, where the remaining prizes from the raffle were still on his desk.
"What's this? Is it a pouch specifically for carrying Magic Mobile Phone? Where did you buy it, Director Lorne?"
Ron immediately noticed the knitted phone case on the table, picked it up curiously, and asked about it.
"Yes, once the Magic Mobile Phone becomes a bestseller, related accessories will be launched one after another," Lorne explained his business plan to the two of them. "If everyone in the Wizarding World has a Magic Mobile Phone, and 30% of them are willing to get a phone case for their Magic Mobile Phone, just think how much money that would make?"
Ron's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This phone case hasn't been officially released yet; it's just given away as a free gift. Maybe I'll set up a special area in the store to sell these derivative products later. After all, the Magic Mobile Phone won't break, but the phone case and phone cover will."
Ron, desperate for Galleon, kept Lorne's words in mind. He decided to write to his mother as soon as he got back and ask her to replace the sweater she was going to knit for him this Christmas with an equal number of Magic Mobile Phone cases.
We'll ask Director Lorne if he needs it then. Even if he doesn't buy it, Goyle and Crabbe's group will definitely buy it.
