Chapter 472 Boring Summer Vacation

The rich aroma of meatballs, the sounds of family members talking and laughing, and the war dances performed by Fred, George, and Ginny made this dark and gloomy house seem so warm and hospitable.

Even Moody's hideous face was smiling, and the movements of his magic eyes were in time with the beat of the war dance.

The entertainment did not last long, as Mrs. Weasley sent the children to bed with a fierce look on her face. It was already getting late.

Ada needed to be squeezed into a bedroom with Hermione and Ginny. It's not that there are no spare rooms at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, but that the other rooms have not been sorted out yet.

The house belonged to Sirius, it was his parents' house, it had not been lived in for a long time, and everything was maintained by house elves.

But this house elf named Kreacher seemed to be too sad because of the death of his mistress. He became a little abnormal and did not do daily cleaning at all, let alone maintain this old house.

Over time, No. 12 Grimmauld Place has become what it is now, dirty, dusty, and full of insect infestations.

Ada just stayed here, at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. However, when she woke up the next day, she found that there was almost nothing serious going on in the headquarters of the anti-Voldemort operation.

After getting up and having breakfast, Ada thought Moody would assign herself a task or something, but Mad-Eye left without even looking at her.

Hello! Is there any mistake? I am the Double Bonus Stick of the Order of the Phoenix, so I am being ignored like this?

While Ada was stunned, there was only a group of children left on the long wooden table, and everyone else ran away.

Moody took the lead, even though he was limping; Sirius followed closely behind, still holding half a piece of bread in his mouth; Tonks also ran very fast, accidentally hitting the umbrella stand, and then screamed with eardrum-breaking curses. It rang out, sending up a cloud of ash in the foyer.

Fortunately, Lupine was following Tonks. He covered the portrait of an old lady who looked difficult to deal with with a black cloth. Only then did the deafening curses gradually stop, and the dust fell back to the ground.

Fred secretly told Ada that the cursing old lady was Sirius's deceased mother. That is the original owner of this house.

Ada nodded with lingering fear, vowing that she would never provoke the old lady in the portrait.

The curse words used by this old lady are so dirty that if they were used on TV programs, they would all be blocked. Those who knew knew it was a curse, but those who didn't knew thought it was an agent using the radio to deliver information!

Moreover, the old lady's speech was like a rapid-fire barrage of words, which could not be penetrated by a needle or splashed by water. After being scolded, there was no room for replying.

Ada didn't know what kind of person the old lady was during her lifetime, but she doubted whether the old lady had practiced rapping.

The last person to leave the house was Mr. Weasley. He said goodbye to the children and hugged his wife before walking out of the house leisurely.

Seeing everyone running out of the house on the pretext of having tasks and going to work, Ada, who was still a little confused, finally came to her senses.

Although I don’t know what kind of terrible things will happen if I stay in the house, it is definitely right to run away.

Although the bowl of cereal had not yet been finished, Ada stood up without hesitation. She walked firmly out of the kitchen, toward the foyer, toward the free world outside...

However, before Ada's long legs could take the first step, Mrs. Weasley had already stood in front of her.

I really want to escape but I can’t~

"Honey, where are you going?" Mrs. Weasley asked kindly.

"Uh... I have a mission." Ada said casually, "So I have to go out and won't come back until tonight."

Although Mrs. Weasley nodded, she said, "Why didn't I know? Alastor clearly didn't assign any tasks to you just now!"

"Secret mission, arranged by Professor Dumbledore." Ada leaned into Mrs. Weasley's ear and said mysteriously, with a "trust me" expression on her face.

"Oh~!" Mrs. Weasley said as if she suddenly understood, but she didn't believe Ada's lie at all.

Mrs. Weasley stuffed a feather duster into Ada's arms and continued: "I don't know about the secret mission, but I know your first priority now is to clean the room."

The moment the feather duster was stuffed into her arms, Ada subconsciously held it. She knew that she had been discovered by Mrs. Weasley and could not run away.

But Ada was unwilling to give in. She said stubbornly: "Madam, I am a member of the Order of the Phoenix. I have shed blood for the Order of the Phoenix. I have made meritorious service for the Order of the Phoenix. I..."

Mrs. Weasley stood there, expressionless, watching Ada make up her stuff. The other children had already picked up their own "weapons", walked out of the kitchen one after another, and began to prepare for cleaning the house.

Even the twins walked out of the kitchen resignedly, with a mop in one hand and a bucket in the other.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "If not, then go upstairs and start cleaning."

"No more," Ada said, "but I haven't finished my breakfast yet. Wasting food is bad behavior, and I have realized my mistake and am deeply ashamed of it."

With that said, Ada sat back at the dining table and picked up the porridge bowl.

However, no matter how big the porridge bowl is, how big can it be, and how much porridge can it hold, let alone half-eaten... Ada still cannot escape the drudgery of cleaning the room.

Number 12 Grimmauld Place is as dirty as Nurmengard. If Mrs. Weasley hadn't spent most of the holiday with her children, the place would have been dirtier and messier.

In those rooms waiting to be cleaned, a large cloud of dust will be thrown up with every step. Everyone had to cover their faces with handkerchiefs, making it look like a gang of gangsters.

After cleaning up another nest of dead rats, Ada finally collapsed and kept saying bad things about Dumbledore in her mind.

It was obviously Old Bee who asked her to come back early, but after she came back, Old Bee didn't give her any tasks. Could it be that Old Bee asked her to come back quickly just to clean Grimmauld Place?

Old thief, you and I are at odds with each other!

After complaining and thinking a lot, Ada's broken heart was reunited, so she turned around and joined the fierce battle.

…

Time passed day by day, and during the summer vacation when Voldemort returned, Ada had a particularly fulfilling life. real.

Under Mrs. Weasley's training, Ada is now a good housekeeper, and she has gradually mastered even extremely difficult tasks such as cooking. Similarly, Hermione and Ginny have also practiced well, and they can go to the hall and the kitchen.

Life in Grimmauld Place is a bit boring, just eating, sleeping, and cleaning the house every day.

Only when the weather is nice, Mrs. Weasley will let everyone go out for a walk and relax. But you are not allowed to go far, you can only stroll around the square.

Occasionally, members of the Order of the Phoenix would come in and out, sometimes staying to eat, sometimes just staying for a few minutes to exchange a few words.

This was the most exciting moment for the twins, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny, although Mrs. Weasley never let them participate.

As the youngest member of the Order of the Phoenix, Ada also attended several meetings, but the content of these meetings was really boring. If he's not talking about giants and goblins, he's discussing the Ministry of Magic where there is no distinction between friend and foe.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Voldemort hid under the water and became a tortoise, refusing to show up.

Voldemort and the Death Eaters did not take any action, so the members of the Order of the Phoenix could only repeat discussions to see if there were any omissions in their own defenses and check for any gaps.

During the meeting, Ada also met Snape several times. Following Dumbledore's instructions, the Potions Professor re-infiltrated the Death Eaters and became an ace spy.

According to the news brought back by Snape, there were two reasons why Voldemort stood still. One is that Voldemort is looking for something, and the other is that he wants to sit on a mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

Although Harry's trial failed, Fudge did not stop suppressing and persecuting Dumbledore. He became more and more tossing, and the content in the "Daily Prophet" became increasingly unsavory.

Ada wouldn't be surprised if Rita Skeeter was pardoned by Fudge one day.

The more fun the Ministry of Magic makes, the happier Voldemort will be. This is what he wants to see. He even wished that the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore had a direct conflict.

Two dogs fight, play off.

Voldemort saw through it, and so did Dumbledore. Only the cute Fudge doesn't know anything and is only focused on fighting among himself.
