Chapter 640 Nymphadora Tonks
As before, the inside of the Screaming Shack was still a mess, the wallpaper had come off the walls, the floor was stained everywhere, pieces of furniture were broken and looked like they had been broken, and the windows were boarded up. ??
Except for Sirius' brief stint here last year, no one had entered the house for more than thirty years.
The Screaming Shack is also known as the haunted house by the residents of Hogsmeade, and few people will come near it. But the screams and howls that the villagers often hear are actually the voices of Lupine in his werewolf form, the place he had to visit every full moon night when he was a student at Hogwarts.
Sirius is very familiar with this place. During the break, he told Ivan, Harry, and Hermione about his past in the school.
Harry listened very carefully, he wanted to know more about his father.
At noon, the four of them ate at the Three Broomsticks.
Many students have gone back to school early, and it is January, and the temperature outside is too cold for much fun.
They didn't see Colin, Ginny, and Gabrielle, and they didn't see Ron, and they didn't know where he and Lavender had gone.
In the afternoon's practice, Ivan will take Hermione to apparate together, this is the first time he has taken someone else with him.
Aiwen was about to make a real long-distance move, probably because he had just heard Sirius recall the past, and he was a little sad. He took Hermione and apparated directly to the Diagon Alley shop and appeared in front of Lu Ping.
Not surprisingly, Lupine looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in surprise!
"Good afternoon, Lupine!" Ivan said with a smile.
"Hello, Professor!" Hermione looked around, happy for Ivan's success.
In just an instant, the two of them traveled from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley.
"Ivan, Hermione, what are you..." Lupine said in disbelief, pushing aside the thick documents in front of him.
"It's apparition, we just want to come and see you!" Ai Wen explained, "Go back right away!"
"I've heard about it, but I didn't expect you to learn it so quickly!" Lupine paused, "But I think it's too risky for the two of you to do it. It's very irrational. Sirius How can it help you cheat at the Ministry of Magic, Apparition is a very dangerous spell, there are many wizards every year..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open.
"Remus, who are you talking to?!"
In came a very young witch, fashionably dressed, and very pretty!
She has a heart-shaped face with very fair skin, and a pair of black shining eyes are particularly eye-catching.
Like Lupine, she looked at Ivan and Hermione in surprise, "Hey, who are these two children?"
"Ewen Mason and Hermione Granger, I told you before!" Lupine said gently, introducing for both parties, "This is Nymphadora..."
"Remus, don't call me Nymphadora." The young witch said with a shudder, "It's Tonks!"
"Nymphadora Tonks, she prefers to be called by her last name only," Lupine finished.
"If your idiot mother calls you Nymphadora, you will do the same." Tonks muttered, looking at Ivan and Hermione carefully, "So, you are that Ivan Mason?!"
"It's me!" Ivan nodded, and also looked at the witch opposite, it turned out to be this guy.
According to her seniority, she should be the niece of Sirius Hall.
Her mother, Andromeda, was a member of the Black family and Sirius' cousin. But she, like Sirius, was considered a disgrace and a betrayer, because he was born in the ancient and noble Black family, but married a Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks.
If Ivan remembers correctly, Tonks should have just become an Auror, a colleague of Sirius.
Why did she appear here? It was obvious that Lupine had the same question.
"Tonks, why did you come to me?" The corner of his mouth moved slightly, as if he was a little helpless.
"Today is the weekend, I am resting, I have nothing to do, just want to come and see you!"
The smile on the corner of Lupine's mouth became more and more helpless, there was nothing he could do about Tonks.
The two seemed to be very familiar with each other, and Ivan keenly sensed that something was wrong, and Tonks seemed to be secretly in love with Lupine!
It can be seen that Lupine also has a good impression of the other party, otherwise it would not be this expression.
With Lupine's rigorous personality, he would not allow an irrelevant person to enter his office casually.
"I heard that the department has been very busy recently, and the Aurors have been sent out..."
"Don't mention it, up until now, that old man Scrimgeour has only assigned me trivial things like smuggling the cauldron, it's so boring!" Tonks said nonchalantly, looking at Ai with great interest. Wen and Hermione, "By the way, you two should be in the school, why are you here?"
"that is because......"
"I see, it's Apparition!" Tonks didn't seem to care about it, "I mentioned it, and asked me to cooperate with him in the Apparition test list and add your name to it. I was wondering what he was going to do. So you've started learning Apparation?!"
Ivan nodded again, hoping that Sirius could do it more covertly.
It's best not to let others know that I can apparate myself.
Lupine also looked helpless, as if he had known for a long time that she and Sirius had done this together.
"That's amazing, no wonder everyone says you're very talented!" Tonks said cheerfully, "I'm at your age, not to mention Apparition, and I haven't even mastered a few real spells. My teacher always explain......"
"Okay, Tonks, they are going back soon, you sit with Hermione for a while, I have something to say to Ivan." Lupine said.
"Okay!" Tonks led Hermione to sit on the round table by the fireplace, and made a pot of tea and cake.
The two of them were talking about something, and in the next second, Tonks' head turned from violet blue to bubblegum pink.
"How did you do that?" Hermione asked, looking at her in surprise.
"I'm a Transformmagus!" she explained, looking at herself in a small mirror, turning her head from side to side, looking at her head from all angles, "that is, I can change my appearance at will. "
"I know this magic can help users change their own form. This is a very, very rare spell."
"I was born with it. During the Auror training, I got the highest score in concealment and camouflage without studying. It's amazing!" Tonks said proudly. 8 For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
