Chapter 42 Taking in the Poor Boy
Harry walked angrily along the street, dragging his unzipped suitcase with his left hand, and holding his wand in his right hand.
There was no one on the street, and the benches were also empty. After Harry walked many meters away, he felt a sense of bewilderment after his anger dissipated.
A kind of confusion and helplessness surrounded him. He stood still, looking longingly at the brightly lit houses around him, as if he could hear the laughter and laughter in other people's homes.
That's when he saw Avro.
Aphra was wearing a wizard's robe with distinctive wizard features, standing opposite Harry with her hands in her pockets.
The night wind was very cold, blowing her blond hair, and Avro shrank.
Only then did Harry come back to his senses, and hurriedly walked forward, put away the suitcase in his hand, and put the wand into his pocket, "Why are you here?"
"Because I know magic." Avro said coldly and humorously, looking at the suitcase next to him, "What are you..."
"I..." Harry said sheepishly, "I ran away from home."
Avro's expression showed that this was indeed the case, and she looked into his green eyes with a little confusion, "Then where are you going to go?"
"..." Harry was embarrassed, but he sincerely revealed his thoughts, "Go anywhere, as long as you are away from them, as long as you are in the magical world, even if you are sleeping on the streets."
Avro shrugged, "Then go to my house, I don't mind sharing a bed with the poor boy standing on the street."
Harry opened his eyes slightly, "Really?"
"Forget it if you don't come." Avro smiled.
Harry shook his head quickly and nodded again, "Come."
A big black dog was standing on the opposite side of the street, wagging its tail at the two of them, looking very attentive.
Avro showed a disgusted expression, "She looks really ugly. She scares people to death in the middle of the night."
The black dog suddenly stopped wagging its tail, obviously stunned.
"Mia, where is the person?"
Avro held Harry's hand. Harry subconsciously wanted to shrink because her hand was too cold, but after he realized it, he immediately held it tightly.
Avro sighed in her heart. My younger brother is just not as considerate as my elder brother. He didn't even take the initiative to hand over a coat at this time.
"Get your stuff and get ready."
Harry didn't quite understand it at first, but soon he knew what she meant.
After a while, the world was spinning, and the two of them had returned to the courtyard of Greengrass' house. Harry fell to the ground and retched.
Avro let Mia go through the door to reveal herself, and she watched Harry's embarrassment with interest.
Harry waited pitifully for a long time before he got up from the ground. Mia returned to the yard and said, "Miss Avro, the master, madam, and the two ladies have all rested."
"Oh..." Avro thought for a moment, "Please clean up the guest room next to my room and make it less noisy."
Harry followed her into the house cautiously, looking around carefully.
As soon as Avro walked in, she felt the warmth again.
"Follow me." Avro walked up the stairs quietly, turned back and said to Harry, "There's no need to take your luggage, Mia will send it to you later."
Harry nodded and followed her obediently, "Mia, is she a house elf like Dobby before?"
Avro nodded, "Yes, but I heard from Draco that Dobby was tricked into leaving the Malfoy family by you?"
"It doesn't want to be a tethered house elf," Harry explained.
"Whatever it is, Draco doesn't like it anyway." Avro led him to a guest room. Mia was still cleaning up. "You can follow me to my room first. It will probably take a while to clean up." .”
Not allowing him to refuse, Avro had already changed direction.
Avro opened the door, and Harry saw a room full of books, countless magic items, and a wardrobe as big as a wall.
"Sit down." Aphra said casually. Harry looked down at his tattered and dirty clothes and did not sit down.
She opened her closet, and the mirror embedded in the closet door spoke, startling Harry.
"Beautiful young lady, what pajamas do you want to wear today?" the mirror said flatteringly.
Avro looked back at Harry, who was stunned.
"That silk suit." Avro said casually.
She looked at Harry again and said helplessly, "Sit down, the bed is comfortable. I suggest you sit on the bed."
Harry was stunned.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Avro whistled roguely and winked at him.
Harry lowered his head and was at a loss. He had no choice but to turn around and sit on Aphra's bed, quite embarrassed.
Avro opened the bathroom door with a smile in her eyes, "Mia will come to take you to your room later, and will also prepare new clothes for you. You can do the rest by yourself, you can find it in my room." I don’t mind reading a book.”
"Oh, okay." Harry answered quickly after listening to her words.
"By the way," Avro poked her head, "Get up early tomorrow and say hello to my father."
"Okay." Harry replied. After Aphra entered the bathroom, he stood up and looked around Aphra's room.
Her desk is very clean, and it can be seen that it is often tidied up. There are some textbooks and books for learning magic spells.
Of course, all the things that Avro considers important and private are in the study, and entering her exclusive study requires a protective magic test. And those things that are exposed where others can see them are safe and irrelevant.
Harry had no intention of opening her book to peek, but just sat back again.
After a while, Mia tidied up the guest room, and Harry was relieved and escaped from Aphra's room.
Lying on a strange bed, Harry actually felt an inexplicable sense of security. It was much more comfortable than at the Dursley's. Although it didn't have the warmth and aroma of baking bread like the Burrow, he could inexplicably smell a faint... of fragrance.
It seems to be as sweet as the one on Afro.
He wrapped himself in the quilt a little tighter and smiled.
Remembering what she had just teased him in the room, Harry suddenly felt shy again, and he fell asleep with a smile.
……
Mia finished all the work and clapped her hands with satisfaction. Today was another hard-working day.
It cleaned the room cleanly, and specially ordered aphrodisiac aromatherapy to dispel the dusty smell of the room that had not been used all year round.
What a useful house elf.
……
Mr. Greengrass hesitated to speak and sat opposite Harry. Aphra also sat next to him. He didn't understand why his father was speechless for a long time.
Mr. Greengrass is quite worried. This is not considered kidnapping the savior... he will not be listed as a key observation target by Dumbledore, right?
He had no choice but to welcome Harry generously and asked him to treat this place as his own home without being restrained. Harry naturally agreed one by one, and both parties were extremely well-behaved.
Daphne and Astoria also got up and went downstairs, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
They said nothing, just stared at Aphra and their father in shock.
"Friends of your sister, please be polite," my father told me.
Harry would be a little reserved for a while, and of course everyone present was the same, except for Aphra.
Avro saw that everyone was extremely "shy", so she did not embarrass them and broke up the meeting.
Harry quickly ran away and followed Aphra.
