Chapter 795 Merry Christmas
"It seems that he returned without success." Sirius raised his eyebrows. "This guy used to disagree with Dumbledore."
"Yes, if he really finds out something, it's okay to explain the unauthorized action, but the staff and patients of St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital blocked them in the waiting room emotionally. These ordinary people took action, and in the stalemate, the armed Aurors led by Albert Harris arrived and quickly disarmed all these patrolling Aurors." Arthur tapped his finger on the table and emphasized his tone, " Scrimgeour, the old lion, is not a bad person, the only thing he really wants to do is to fight those dark wizards, and he has gotten too close to those pure-blood families recently, he is too impatient and easy to be used by those people."
"It's the same Auror, are the patrolling Aurors so vulnerable? Albert Harris brought a lot of people there, right?" Bill, who was tacitly allowed to participate in the discussion as the eldest child of the Weasley family, wondered. , who has been working as a spellbreaker at Gringotts and has a wide range of hobbies, he doesn't care too much about the Ministry of Magic and politics.
"No, he didn't bring many people, but they were all elites who had passed combat training and cooperated with each other tacitly. Scrimgeour, instead of giving up, brought more patrolling Aurors to the scene." Arthur Sighing, the Auror who was originally one was divided because of the leader's struggle for power, and aimed his magic wand at his own people.
"Scremgeour tried to suppress Albert as the chief of staff so that the inspecting Aurors could forcibly inspect him, but he is not the highest official." Percy sneered, and then said, "Minister Owen Harris personally ordered, using Suppressing Scrimgeour as a minister." Percy told the inside story he had learned with a look of embarrassment. He was invited to the Harris family's Christmas dinner and saw the power of the Harris family. He is a faction of Harris and is proud of himself.
"People from the Bobin family tried to contact me, hoping that I could support Scrimgeour... This potion seller really thinks he is someone." Sirius tossed an apple, and Mr. Handy stretched out his long arm to copy the apple. After coming over, he returned the peeled apple to Sirius after a few seconds, "However, the conflict between Harris and the old pure-blood family is indeed getting more and more intense. Is their appetite really so big?"
"It's inevitable. Those who want to lead them to rise will inevitably touch the interests of the pure-blood family in the process." After finishing speaking, he felt that he had taken the train of Harris to make the Weasley family better. Arthur rubbed his nose, "It's just that at this moment when the mysterious man is making a comeback, it's really not good to have such internal disagreements. Dumbledore's conflict with Allen's teaching philosophy has become more intense, and his contacts with the school director have also become increasingly intense. increase, and he let Moody use his reputation to expand his influence among the Aurors... If Dumbledore also had a direct conflict with the Harris family..." Arthur swallowed the latter words, if Dumbledore and Harris Conflict, what should he do with himself? This is not a black and white struggle like the mysterious person.
Although Arthur didn't say it, several adult wizards understood what he meant, and they all had the same concerns after being favored by Harris and Dumbledore.
"Professor Dumbledore and Harris are both for the peace of the wizarding world. Their goals are the same in terms of eliminating the mysterious Death Eaters." Lupine crossed his fingers, trying to comfort Arthur and at the same time relieve himself. Pressure, "As for the conflict of educational ideas, I think we should persuade them. These should be resolved after solving the mysterious person."
As far as Lupine is concerned, Dumbledore is more than him, helping him hide his identity so that he can attend Hogwarts. However, for the future of werewolves, the Harris family is constantly developing safer and more reliable wolfbane potions. If they succeed, not only themselves, but all werewolf wizards can enter Hogwarts to study—not to mention, Allen Harris also matched himself and Tonks.
"But the mystery man itself is one of the conflicts in their educational philosophy.
Daisy told me that Allen believes that young wizards should be taught how to protect themselves from possible dangers, while Dumbledore believes that these things should be solved by a few people so that most people do not need to take risks to learn dangerous knowledge. "Tonks' tone was not as cheerful as usual. In order to take care of Lupine's feelings, she didn't say that she was more inclined to Alan's side.
Lupine frowned. It was really hard for him to imagine what choice he would make if Dumbledore and Harris really had a conflict.
"Stop talking about this, let's prepare dinner." Molly stood up without saying a word, and greeted everyone loudly. She could always make the atmosphere lively.
The luncheon was lively, and Ginny and Molly decorated the entire public space of the Burrow as intricately as Mr. Lovegood's accessories. It was like a garland explosion.
Those unhappiness could no longer hinder everyone's good appetite. Mrs. Weasley tried her best to prepare a rich and delicious Christmas meal. It was just a few little Gryffindors who had just been asked by Sirius to contain Mandrake leaves. Not so good.
The young wizards were at the age when their appetites were strong, and they had to avoid swallowing leaves and food, which made their meals more elegant than before.
"Ah, sorry, Sirius, can you give me another leaf?" Ron accidentally chewed and swallowed the leaf that tipped to the side, looking at their Animagus mentor apologetically.
Prepared for this, Sirius took another slice out of his pocket, and the red-haired boy regretted it as soon as he stuffed it into his mouth - he could have told Sirius after the meal.
Looking at Ron with a bitter face, George and Fred, who had begun to be interested in Animagus and agreed with Sirius before the meal to teach him how to transform Animagus, looked at each other. The tacit agreement abandoned this decision. Holding mandrake leaves in mouth for a long time affects both eating and speaking. It is too difficult for the twin brothers who are busy with business and busy every day.
After the meal, Fred George and the others teased the little angel on the top of the Christmas tree, which was actually a little garden goblin. When Fred was pulling carrots, the little goblin bit his ankle, so it was stunned. Painted gold, tucked into the back of a tiny tutu, glued to a pair of tiny wings, glaring at them from the treetops.
"This is definitely the ugliest angel I've ever seen." Harry commented vaguely with a mandrake in his mouth.
Ginny nodded in agreement. This little angel has a bald head like a potato and hair on his feet. He is really ugly.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
Mrs. Weasley stopped knitting and shouted loudly, "Fred, go and open the door."
"Tell Ron." The twins pushed Ron, and Ron muttered and walked to the door, opened the door, was stunned for a moment, almost swallowed the leaf in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Ai... Allen."
Ron involuntarily looked at the phoenix he had just seen on TV standing on Allen's shoulder, reflecting the white snow outside the door, the afternoon sun shining on it, its golden yellow and bright red The feathers are dazzling, and its long golden tail hangs from the side of Alan's arm, but the long beak and claws make it more majestic than beautiful.
"Merry Christmas!" Allen greeted Ron politely to bring him back to his senses, and handed a rectangular wrapped present to Ron from his pocket.
Ron hesitated for a while, and finally took the gift, thanking him with a stiff tone.
Hearing Ron's address and Alan's voice, Arthur sat up straight in an instant, and saw Alan walking in from the door, and everyone in the room stood up to welcome him.
Sirius was particularly excited. He had been eager to find Allen for half a semester, "Allen, about Kreacher, I think..." Before he finished speaking, Allen waved his hand and rejected him, "Sirius , we will talk about the contract between us later."
"Alan, I think this matter..." Sirius was impatient, and grabbed the cloak that Alan was wearing behind him.
Allen turned his head, raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. The round eyes of the phoenix on his shoulders widened, staring at Sirius sharply, as if he was about to attack at any moment. Sirius' hand couldn't help but Allen stopped out of his tug.
Allen ignored Sirius, but first patted Phoenix lightly, "Anka, you go outside first, and I will call you when I leave."
Phoenix, who had become accustomed to being massaged by Alan in human form, pecked Alan's fingers affectionately, glared at Sirius again, and then teleported away in a ball of flame.
After waking up, Sirius stretched out his hand and wanted to continue pulling, but was stopped by Lupine, who whispered in his ear, "Don't be impulsive, you don't want to lose face in front of the children, do you?"
Lupine's words reminded Sirius that he was aware of the gap in strength between himself and Allen, and thinking of how many times he had been defeated by this kid before, Sirius reluctantly held back what he wanted to say.
"Mrs. Weasley, thank you for your sweater. This year it looks great." Allen took the initiative to greet Mrs. Weasley who came over, and pulled the collar of his robe to reveal the Christmas gift Mrs. Weasley gave him inside. He waved his hand quickly, "Oh, please don't bother...I just ate a lot of ball fish at Mr. Lovegood's house..."
"Well then, my dear, it's nice to meet you." Even though she had some opinions on Alan regarding Tonks' matter, Mrs. Weasley immediately forgot about those little discomforts after seeing him with her own eyes, and hugged him warmly ——This made Allen have the illusion that the other party was Helga, if it wasn't for Mrs. Molly who didn't have that strong smell.
Sighing and shaking his head to wake himself up, Alan took out a delicately wrapped and fluffy gift box from his pocket, and left Mrs. Weasley's arms without a trace, "Merry Christmas, Mrs. Weasley."
"Thank you Ellen." Mrs. Weasley took the gift, and then happily opened the gift box.
Mrs. Weasley picked up a stack of tickets in the box to identify them, and suddenly stopped, as if she was holding her breath: "Cetina Warbeck's concert tickets."
On the cover of this ridiculously large number of tickets, there is a female singer with dark brown skin singing, and a choir of female ghosts with scary looks but carefully dressed is doing harmony for her behind her. .
