Chapter 227
Before Lupin took them to Buildings 11 and 13 in the square, there was no 12 between the two buildings.
Lupin took out a note, showed it to the three, and immediately burned the note.
The note reads: The Order of the Phoenix headquarters is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.
"Think of what you just remembered," Lupin said softly.
The three thought intently, just thinking of 12 Grimmauld Place, when a tattered door popped out of nowhere between 11 and 13, followed by filthy walls and eerie windows , it looks as if an extra house suddenly swells up, squeezing things out on either side.
This scene left Hermione and Fleur stunned, they had never seen such a magical scene before.
Led by Lupin, the three walked up the broken stone steps and looked at the newly transformed door.
The black paint on the door was peeling off, covered with scratches from left to right. The silver door knocker is in the shape of a coiled serpent. There is no keyhole in the door, and no letterbox.
Lupin drew his wand and knocked on the door.
Immediately there was a lot of loud metal slamming, and a chain-like clatter.
The door creaked open.
0313 12 Grimmauld Place
The three followed Lupin across the threshold and into the almost pitch-dark door.
There was a wet, dusty smell, and a sweet, rotten smell that made it feel like an empty, abandoned house.
After everyone had entered, Lupin closed the door, and the hall was so dark that he could not see his fingers.
There was a rustling sound, and then a row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the wall came on, casting a wobbly, unreal light on the peeling wallpaper and polish blooms in the long, eerie hallway. Lined rugs.
A cobwebbed chandelier shimmered overhead, portraits blackened with age hung slantingly on the wall, both the chandelier and the candlestick on a rickety table next to it. Made in the shape of a serpent.
Following the sound of hurried footsteps, several wizards appeared in front of them, headed by Sirius Black. As soon as he saw Ye Ting, he showed a warm smile.
"Mr. Ye is here, as well as Miss Granger and Miss Delacour," he stepped forward and showed them the way enthusiastically, "Come in, there are many people here who want to know you."
The wizards behind Black had mixed expressions, some smiling happily, others surprised, and others frowning.
But Blake ignored them and took Ye Ting and the three to the living room on his own.
Compared to just now, the living room was much brighter. Several witches and wizards were standing or sitting, chatting around the fire.
As soon as the three came, the eyes of these people were on them.
Ye Ting found that there were quite a few acquaintances here. Alastor Moody was sitting at the door, and his big, round, electric blue magical eyes were staring at them.
In addition, he saw Ron's mother, Mrs Weasley, and Professor Snape.
Of course, there are also a few wizards they don't know. Ye Ting, the youngest witch among them, looks familiar. She has a pale, heart-shaped face, a pair of gleaming black eyes, and the spike-like head. Short hair is a bright and eye-catching violet color.
After seeing Ye Ting, the witch involuntarily fought a cold war and took a few steps back.
"Tonks, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Seeing the witch's abnormality, Lupin, who was beside the three, stepped forward with concern.
"He... how did he come." The witch named Tonks asked in a low voice.
Although she tried her best to suppress herself, Ye Ting could still hear the trembling in her voice.
"Who?"
"That boy."
"You mean Ye? He's here for Black. Did something happen between you two?"
"No, nothing."
The witch walked away silently and came to another corner of the house, which was the farthest place from Ye Ting.
At this time, Ye Ting also remembered who this girl was.
She was a half-blood witch named Nymphadora Tonks, fairly young, an Auror.
However, what is special about her is that she is a rare disguised magus, who can freely change her appearance, but she cannot freely change her figure, gender, and age like Merlin.
Thinking of her identity, Ye Ting knew why she was so afraid of herself.
It was third grade, after his stint at the Ministry of Magic.
At the beginning, he wanted to study Disguise Magus, and after thinking of the existence of Tonks in the original book, he found her in the Ministry of Magic, not only did some experiments on her, but also forced several tubes of her blood.
Although Ye Ting gave Tonks a gold Galleon afterwards, it still did not dispel her fear. From then on, she became extremely fearful of Ye Ting and avoided him every time she saw him.
On the other side, Moody also shouted at Sirius.
"Black, you can't bring outsiders in here," he growled gruffly. "If they're from the Dark Lord, then we risk being wiped out!"
"Mr. Ye can't be the Dark Lord's man," Blake explained impatiently, "He has the same power as Dumbledore and the Dark Lord, and he can never be under the Dark Lord—this is
I don't think I know him well enough. "
"Similar to Dumbledore? How is that possible? He's just a child!" Moody's normal, cautious eyes widened in surprise.
"What Blake said is true, I can prove it," said a dark-skinned, bald-headed wizard beside Moody - his voice was low and slow, with a gold ring on one ear that Ye Ting recognized His name is Kingsley--"Just last year, he was summoned to the Ministry of Magic by Wizengamore, and that time, he was in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic, and he defeated dozens of Aurors by himself. Fortunately, I was at that time. Not among those..."
"And he rescued Harry from the Dark Lord," added Mrs Weasley.
"Also, you have to thank him for getting away from Crouch," Snape added faintly. "If I were you, I wouldn't doubt Ting Ye easily."
"But, but..." Moody was a little hesitant in the face of everyone's words, but he still argued with a stern face: "Can you guarantee that this is him, if this is a Death Eater pretending to be him, just Big trouble!"
"No one would pretend to be Mr. Ye, just like no one would pretend to be Dumbledore." Kingsley said with a wry smile.
"Yes, and he is... much more decisive than Dumbledore. If a Death Eater dares to impersonate him, maybe his house will be turned into a sea of fire the next day." Tonks also added.
"That...are you so terrifying in their eyes?" Hermione asked quietly in Ye Ting's ear. She couldn't believe that these grown-up wizards were so afraid of Ye Ting. It's so gentle.
When Furong heard this, she gave Hermione a complicated look.
"This guy is so gentle only by your side."
"And now you!" Hermione reminded.
"Yes, and me," said this, Furong rolled her eyes at Ye Ting with a smile, and continued: "Actually, his attitude is different when facing any stranger who dares to provoke him. "
She had already heard about what happened to the British Ministry of Magic. Her parents worked in the French Ministry of Magic. At that time, it was spread as a joke in the French Ministry of Magic. The culprit was the boy beside her.
In addition, on the night of the Quidditch World Cup, Ye Ting sent her sister back to her after she disappeared. And Gabriel's description also mentioned how Ye Ting dealt with the Death Eater parade.
Although Gabriel had closed her eyes at the time, she still noticed some details, and she was also there that night, so she quickly understood the reason why so many Death Eaters died that night.
