Chapter 2009 The Old Order of the Phoenix Reunites

Notified by Charlotte, everyone came to Aberforth's side one after another in advance, and sat around the dining table as usual.

Except for the Weasleys, of course.

"Remus...what the hell happened? What news did Sirius go to Beauxbatons?"

Tonks had just sat down after coming over, and couldn't help but glanced at the back of Sirius over the bar, and asked Lupine softly beside him.

However, Lupine shook his head accordingly.

"I don't know either," he said with a slight frown. "I asked as soon as I came over, but he only said to wait for everyone to arrive... But in short, it must not be a good thing!"

This couple with a slightly larger age gap has apparently become more and more used to getting along recently, and Tonks has lost the impulsiveness he had at the beginning. However, perhaps it is precisely because of this plainness that people feel that the relationship between the two of them is getting stronger and stronger.

As far as this disaster is concerned, it may occasionally bring some benefits to people-at least if there are not so many terrible and disturbing things constantly attracting the attention of the two, I am afraid that they will not adapt to each other so naturally the opponent's existence.

Now, hearing Lupine say that, Tonks couldn't help sighing, and a look of sadness flashed across his face.

"Oh...poor Weasley, let's hope it's not too bad - they won't be able to take it."

"Who doesn't wish so?"

Lupine took a sip of his wine and sighed, then naturally put his arm around Tonks' shoulder and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Let me have a drink too."

Tonks reached for his glass, but Lupine quickly covered the glass and held it down.

"You don't want to drink... I don't want everyone to enjoy a murloc opera performance, especially in today's situation!"

"Hey!"

When Tonks heard this, he immediately gave him a look, but after that, she finally gave up her plan to drink. Because in fact, she had been drunk once before, and that scene... Even though she couldn't remember anything about it afterwards, just hearing Lupine tell her about it once, she even wanted to die.

As for Lupine's "merloc opera" metaphor... apparently,

The murloc's singing is ethereal and sweet in the water, but on the shore, it is comparable to the scream of a mandrake. In addition, Tonks is a natural disguise magus. Once drunk, even his long hair will change color automatically without wind, and he is really very similar to the murlocs in the water.

So, although Tonks wasn't completely incapable of drinking, thinking about how she looked drunk... oh! She might as well quit drinking completely!

And while the "little" lovers were whispering to each other, the seats around the dining table were gradually being filled—yes, except for the seats of the Weasleys and Sirius who was sitting alone at the bar .

"Okay, you go too!"

Seeing that even Charlotte, who had gone out to inform everyone, came in through the back door and returned to the bar, Aberforth suddenly reached out and patted the table in front of Sirius, and then pointed to the dining table.

"Oh, are they all here?"

Sirius still had a good drinker, and while waiting for someone to come over here, he drank a lot of Aberforth's wine by himself. But...a good capacity for alcohol also has its disadvantages, that is, when you occasionally want to get drunk, it seems that the more you drink, the more sober you become.

"Patter."

After putting the cup on the bar, he finally stood up, turned around and sat down at the table where he always sat. Then, he let his gaze sweep over everyone's faces one by one from left to right.

"In short... Let me tell you one of the biggest reasons for calling you here in advance today! In case Arthur and his wife will come later, I haven't had time to say it—it will be hard to say then."

At this point, Sirius immediately waved his hand and said:

"Percy is dead."

Before the words were finished, there was a dead silence in the slightly dark room, as quiet as if there were inexplicable buzzing sounds in the ears.

After a moment of silence, finally a voice broke the silence on its own initiative.

"Why Percy?"

The one who spoke was Lupine.

To be honest, when he met Charlotte and heard the other party remind him not to disturb Arthur and Molly, he had already guessed some possibilities.

Even...maybe it's because I made a lot of judgments and decisions with Maca in the past! He seems to have acquired some of Maca's habits - he always likes to imagine the worst possibility in advance.

Before that, Lupine had subconsciously imagined many possibilities, and the death of a certain person, or even a few people, was one of the conclusions.

But no matter how much he imagined, he never thought that Sirius would tell the news of Percy's death.

In terms of danger, the most dangerous must be those who broke into the front line. Although their strength is already stronger than ordinary people, the crisis they need to face is obviously much more terrifying than others. In addition, Weymouth, where Percy is located, at least until this time, can be regarded as relatively safe.

However, Percy died, before many people died.

"Because a more serious change than before broke out on the land of Britain!" Sirius spread his hands, "Actually, this time I not only met Mrs. Maxime in Beauxbatons, I also met Mrs. Two young witches. They also seem to be Maca's friends. Recently, they have been in Winchester Cathedral, and they just came back from England until today."

"Who are these two people? We don't know each other?" Kingsley couldn't help asking.

"Actually, it can't be said that I don't know him at all." Sirius shrugged and said, "The Grofeyn family——Kingsley, you should know."

"That prophet family in Northern Europe?"

"Yes," Sirius nodded, "it's that Grofeyn who was regarded as the leader of the group of Nordic black wizards at the time—the group of dark wizards were able to keep their own place there for so many years, and this family of prophets contributed a lot. And Now... the pair of witches and sisters I met in Beauxbatons, one of them is the prophet of this generation."

At this point, he paused for a while, and then turned to say:

"I think it may be for this reason that Maca came to them. The sisters seem to have done a lot to help deal with the army of living corpses in the UK-of course, I just listened to what they said , The specific situation may have to be discussed later.”
