Chapter 371 Why Does Such a Handsome Man Have a Mouth?
Harley was still urgently recalling "Neptune's Self-cultivation" which she had not used for a long time and had almost forgotten in the depths of her memory. At the same time, she felt that she might be unlucky today.
Unexpectedly, her dear godfather, Sirius, suddenly intervened and gave Harry a hand.
"Hermione, are you sure you don't know who that is?"
Sirius' face was full of oil and he didn't forget to poke his head over, his expression revealing confusion.
"You have lived together in Hogwarts for nearly a year! How could you not know her? And... wait, let me think about it carefully..."
While almost all the members of the Order of the Phoenix were stunned, Sirius clapped his hands violently, and the expression on his face became excited:
"By the way, I remembered that you clearly recognized the witch as Fleur Delacour during the summer vacation!"
"You were so anxious at the time. You wished you could get the Muggle ID right away and take the big steel bird called a plane to Spain to find Harry."
"We also spent a lot of effort to persuade you to stop, so why did you... Oops!"
Before Sirius could finish speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Lupine, who had just come to his senses, and a piece of beef was forced into his mouth by Lupine.
Lupine also glared at Sirius fiercely, "Can't you stop eating meat?"
The members of the Order of the Phoenix on the side also cast strange looks. Even Professor Dumbledore shook his head, and Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder she is already the mother of so many children, and this distant relative is still single.
Even though I obviously have good relationships with so many witches and have good gossips, I have never heard from anyone that Sirius had any scandals at Hogwarts.
I and Arthur didn't understand it at the time. After all, a boy like Sirius, who was handsome and popular in school, should be as popular and popular as James Potter.
However, after working with Sirius for a month, especially after today's noon banquet, Mrs. Weasley suddenly understood everything.
All I can say is...it's not unreasonable for some people to remain single.
Why does such a handsome person have a mouth?
The old principal Black and Sirius's old mother had appeared on the wall at some point, looking even more sad.
After Regulus's death, they had placed all their hopes on continuing the Black family on Sirius.
Now it seems... it's better to go to sleep, there is everything in the dream.
Although Sirius had been suppressed by Lupine Justice, his words were still ringing in Hermione's ears.
Hermione's face turned red instantly, and she immediately lowered her head, unable to say a word.
As for Harry's interrogation, naturally it can only come to an end. Hermione will have to wait until the evening before she has the opportunity to "torture a confession" again.
However, Harry also planned to give Hermione a good "torture" tonight because of her previous sneak attack on him.
So when the time comes, who will torture whom... it all depends on the technique.
…………
The birthday party lasted for two hours.
At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Weasley also brought out a huge cream cake with a golden and red lion painted on the cake with icing.
Fred and George were also very happy when they saw the cake. After all, they had been silent for the entire banquet, and it was time to do something fancy.
Most of the people present were adults, so it was naturally difficult for them to play pranks.
Among the minors, Harry is their most beloved major shareholder, Hermione is expected to become the boss's wife in the future, and Ginny is his most beloved sister.
These are the people the Weasley twins are unwilling to touch.
Then, the ultimate goal is you! Come out, Ron!
Ron originally had chicken legs and lamb chops in one hand, and he kept gnawing happily.
And his piece of cake was placed in front of him, ready to be enjoyed after the meal.
As a result, the Weasley twins suddenly took out two fireworks, saying that they wanted to set off another fireworks before the end of the banquet and show off their latest products.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the two of them, including Ron.
When fireworks exploded in mid-air, a golden Gryffindor crest appeared on the ceiling, and there was a snake in the lion's mouth and a Dark Mark under its feet.
Everyone marveled at this creativity, and Professor Dumbledore made a suggestion to the two of them, hoping to change the lion into all the animals on the Hogwarts school emblem, with each animal stepping on a copy of the Dark Mark, and cancel the The idea of taking the snake out of the lion's mouth.
Only Ron suddenly felt something was wrong.
Two transparent hands suddenly appeared on the back of his head and pushed Ron's head into the cake.
Fred and George realized that their magic props were working, and immediately grinned proudly, shaking their sleeves and letting a pair of gloves slide into their pockets.
"Fred, George! You're pranking your brother again!"
Although there was no direct evidence, Mrs. Weasley immediately identified the culprit out of her absolute trust that Ron would not waste food and her "absolute trust" in the Weasley twin brothers' pranks.
But the Weasley twins blinked and looked at Mrs. Weasley innocently:
"Mom, we didn't do anything!"
"That's right, it's obviously Ronnie himself who wants to enjoy the feeling of having cream all over his face!"
Several members of the Order of the Phoenix present with average magic skills scratched their heads suspiciously. After all, they didn't find anything.
Professor Dumbledore and Shax grinned, seeing through the little trick played by the Weasley twins.
But they didn't choose to expose it. After all, if they didn't play pranks, would they still be Gryffindors?
Mrs. Weasley did not punish the two of them in the end. After all, even Ron thought it was fun to bury his face in the cream. It was probably the sequelae of the Weasley twin brothers' treatment.
The birthday party ended with joy and laughter. The members of the Order of the Phoenix quickly cleaned the living room and then got busy with their work.
Professor Dumbledore left the Black Mansion immediately and hurried to attend an internal Wizengamot meeting.
It seemed that Harry was quite embarrassed that Professor Dumbledore was so busy. After all, she was the culprit who caused Dumbledore to run around.
The reason why the professor is so busy now is mainly because he revealed the fact that Voldemort was resurrected.
And obviously, there are too many ordinary wizards who like to be cowards.
They would rather not admit it and pretend it didn't happen than face the reality of their fears.
In addition, there are many pure-blood families who are trying to disturb the water through public opinion wars, so the brains of ordinary wizards are becoming more and more confused, and they don't know who to believe.
And Harley asked Rita to publish the news in the newspaper and attach the photo, which was a strong dose to the entire wizarding world, forcing many people to gradually accept the reality.
However, there are still some people who argue tit for tat and believe that these photos are artificially fabricated evidence.
Now the only way to quickly unify the magical world is to let Voldemort show his face and cause a big event, such as a blatant attack on the Ministry of Magic.
But now Voldemort is still concentrating on farming, contacting the pure-blood conservative wizards, recalling the giants and dementors under his command, and negotiating with the werewolves, vampires and goblins resistance organizations that hate wizards.
All he did was to give Harley a big gift at Christmas, in an attempt to strangle Harley in Azkaban.
So how can Voldemort have time to show his face and cause trouble now?
Harry saw that he was working so hard for his promotion ceremony, and since he had not yet completed one-fifth of the secret erosion and control of Voldemort, he naturally couldn't bear to disturb him.
In this case, I can only work hard on Professor Dumbledore and regard it as fitness.
Sirius was idle and bored, and he was getting sick of being trapped in the house during this period of time.
Unfortunately, he was dragged out of the living room just as he wanted to chat with Harley for a few more words.
In view of his previous performance at the banquet, Lupine decided to take him to a certain room in the old Black house to have a good conversation between brothers.
Phineas and Mrs. Black naturally followed, wanting to take the opportunity to educate Sirius.
Although his godfather had helped him before, Harley could only express his helplessness.
After praying for the professor for a few seconds, Harry returned upstairs with Hermione to open gifts, and chatted with the Weasley twins about the recent developments in the shop.
The dormitory where Harry lived before has been cleared out, and it is still a double room for Harry and Hermione.
Fred leaned back on the conjured chair and fiddled with a pair of gloves.
"Are these the gloves you used to punish Ron just now?" Harley asked with interest.
"That's right." George nodded, picked up a glove at any time and put it on his right hand, "Let me demonstrate it to you."
As he spoke, he recited a spell.
The gloves did not change at all, but a hand appeared in mid-air.
"We named it the Invisible Hand." Fred patted the treasure in his hand.
"You have also seen the effect. You can remotely conjure a magic hand to perform pranks. Currently we can also make the hand invisible, so the prank effect will be even better."
The hand conjured by George also entered the invisible state, and then emerged from mid-air.
"Very interesting." Harry took the glove handed over by Fred, turned it over and admired it, and Hermione also leaned over.
Originally, Harley's expression was very casual, but when she noticed certain details, Harley slowly became serious.
"Have you made this pair of gloves now?"
"Of course not," Fred waved his hand.
"This one is a fully mature sample, and we have prepared six more sets of the same sample."
"If you like it, this pair of gloves will be given to you."
"Thank you very much." Harley put the gloves away carefully, and an idea formed in her mind.
If you want to come into contact with the Sea of Chaos or the River of Eternal Darkness in the future, how to ensure your own safety will be a big problem.
After all, if you just want to use clones or certain items for remote detection, you must always be on guard against being infected by these remote means and giving birth to your own consciousness.
But Fred and George's gloves have two very delicately designed alchemy tricks on them, and Harley vaguely got some inspiration from them.
Maybe I can design a similar magic ritual, combined with the personality of the angel on earth and the concealment effect of the invisibility cloak, to conceal this high-level influence in a short time?
Harley thought this method was worth a try.
After putting away the gloves, Harry discussed the current situation of the store with the Weasley twins.
"We were all ready to drop out of school. After all, we had enough money to rent a shop in Diagon Alley."
"But Dad convinced us that making prank props also requires a lot of magical knowledge."
"So we should study at Hogwarts for another year and accumulate more skills."
"A very wise choice. Joko just didn't study hard back then and had too many deficiencies in knowledge."
"So he has been selling frog egg soap and nose-biting teapots from the age of 20 until now. It is difficult to launch more new products."
Harley casually gave an example to the two of them while weighing the "Book of Love" given by an unknown wizard in her hand.
The wizard also included a suggestive letter in the Book of Love, obviously hoping that Harley would give her a chance to use the above tricks against Harley.
Harley also wanted to open the book and take a closer look and study it carefully.
But Hermione, who was sitting across the bed, had quick eyes and quick hands, snatched the book, and gave Harry a fierce look.
Harley could only sigh. Now that someone else is around, I will allow you to be arrogant for a while. Wait until tonight to see how I deal with you!
After listening to Harley's words, Fred and George looked at each other and nodded together.
Harry is right. It seems that this year they will have to focus on studying and spend more time in the library.
"By the way, where are Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape today?"
After Harry opened the gift bag given to him by Professor Snape, he asked Hermione about it.
"Professors Snape and McGonagall are both busy."
Hermione secretly stuffed several greeting cards that she judged as inappropriate.
"As for what he was busy with, we don't know. As minors, the adults refused to tell us a lot of information."
"Actually, this is quite unfair. We are both adults, but our mother is unwilling to let us join the Order of the Phoenix." Fred shook his head and said dissatisfied.
"After all, war kills people." Harley hit the point of the matter with one sentence.
"I remember Mrs. Weasley had two brothers, but they both died in the last Wizarding War."
"Probably because of this reason, she is unwilling to let all of you join the Order of the Phoenix."
Fred and George were stunned for a moment, looked solemn, and said no more.
Harry smiled silently. No one would die in this wizarding war.
Well... The premise is that those dark wizards are not considered human beings, they are just materials for rituals.
Speaking of which, it is clear that nothing has broken out now, but there is actually an undercurrent surging in the peaceful magical world.
Those Death Eaters who had been sown with disease seeds by Harley didn't know that they had been secretly spied on by angels on earth and had almost completely corroded them.
They are also trying to invade the Ministry of Magic, or trying to contact various dark creatures.
What hard-working employees, if they work hard, Hallie will become an Archangel next year, no, by the end of this year.
Is this the joy of being a capitalist? Love it, love it!
