Chapter 324 322 Finny Returns

"Finny, hasn't he come back yet?"

In the old house of the Black family at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Astoria looked at Sirius and asked in confusion,

Finny has been in seclusion since he came back from attending the Presbyterian Consul Family Meeting in September last year. As of the end of June, they have all returned from Hogwarts for the holidays. They still have not left seclusion, and not even a little news has been sent back.

If Puff hadn't come back here regularly to take away a certain amount of food, maybe Sirius would have begun to doubt whether Finny was still safe.

Hope also looked at her father with a puzzled look. She still had a good impression of this uncle who was a few years younger than herself.

You know, in France, it was Feeney who found her and told her that she actually had a biological father who was still alive, and now he hoped that she would return to her original family.

At the same time, it was this little uncle who saved him after he was kidnapped, and destroyed the family that kidnapped him to vent his anger on him.

Now, after more than half a year of not seeing him, there was no news at all. At this time, she was also a little worried about this little uncle.

Sirius sighed, sat on the sofa and shook his head slightly,

"I have no news from him either,"

After saying this, he paused, raised his head and looked at the three children in front of him, or rather two children and a teenager, namely Astoria, Hope, and Harry, and slowly said,

"However, Finny said before he went to retreat that he would take you to watch the Quidditch World Cup this year. Now that the World Cup is only a few days away, I think he will be back soon, so you don't have to worry. He is a person who can protect himself very well at all times and will be fine.”

Although Sirius said this, he actually had no confidence in his heart and was very worried.

Finny has also been in seclusion before, and there was even no trace of him for more than half a semester, but he has never been in seclusion for such a long time. Therefore, even the very rational Sirius, well, he has never been a A rational person, but at least he is a father of two children, an adult with godson Harry and biological daughter Hope. He must appear to be more stable than several children.

That's why he used this reason to comfort a few people. In fact, he didn't know at this time whether Feeney would come back before the Quidditch World Cup starts next Monday and take a few people to watch the game.

Fortunately, reality did not disappoint him. Three days later, Feeney appeared at the door of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, safe and sound, quietly looking up at the sky, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"Ah! Finny!"

An exclamation came from No. 12 Grimmauld Place behind Feeney.

Then there was a burst of softness that hugged him into his arms. The smell and voice of someone coming from behind. Finny didn't even need to look back to know that the person holding him in his arms was his little fiancée, Estoria Greengra. Si,

He turned back slightly and said to Leah,

"Long time no see, how are you doing?"

Feeney's smile was still so cheerful, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was a member of the Black family, the darkest pure-blood family in the UK, and he was one of the heirs of this family.

Seeing the familiar smile on Feeney's face, Leah also laughed happily. She raised her head and looked at her fiancé who had grown taller in just half a year.

"That's good. It's even better to see you."

After saying that, she released her hold on Fini and stood in front of Fini with a slightly red face.

Although a little shy, the little girl still raised her head and looked at her sweetheart in front of her.

Feeney raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head, and said with a smile,

"I'll come back and take you to watch the World Cup. Well, wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?"

Leah's doubts were answered without any need for Feeney to answer.

I saw two carriages with the Black family crest speeding up from a distance, one behind the other.

As mentioned before, in order to ensure that the family's address will not be exposed, pure-blood families will ask their family's carriage to pick up people when they invite or are invited to come. Because of magic, sitting on The people in the carriage do not know the specific location of the destination.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the two of them, and two beautiful figures descended from it, both of whom were very familiar to Lia.

Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood are also Finny's two best friends at Hogwarts.

"Hermione, Luna!"

Lia was also a little excited to see the two little sisters who had just been separated for a short time.

Perhaps because they heard Leah's surprised voice before, Hope and Harry also walked out of the house,

"Finney! Hermione, Luna! Why are you here?"

Hermione said with a slight blush,

"Fini wrote to us yesterday and invited us to watch the Quidditch World Cup together,"

Hope turned to look at Feeney.

Feeney nodded,

"Well, the Black family has an exclusive box at the Quidditch World Cup. There is no limit on the number of people allowed,"

At this time Sirius also came out,

"Well, yes, that's right. When I was little, Regulus and I were the only ones who liked Quidditch at home, so every World Cup would be watched by the two of us in Black's box. Oh, the World Cup won't be until next Monday. Let's start. Before that, you can stay with us. To be honest, this house has never had so many guests at one time."

Feeney nodded silently and added,

"Even when Blake was at his peak, there were no more than seven people living here. Okay, let's go in. Chatting outside is always a little weird,"

A few people walked into the old Black house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place while joking. For Hermione and Luna, who were coming here for the first time, this place was a sight they had never imagined.

Looking at Hermione who had some doubts on her face, Finny asked with a smile,

"Do you think there is no difference between this place and where Muggles live?"

Hermione nodded. She did have such doubts before. Because of Finny, Hermione did not enter Gryffindor House, but entered Ravenclaw House, so she and Ron did not become friends. I have never been to the Weasley house because of Ron.

Later, after Ginny entered school, she met Hermione through Finny because of the twins. The two little girls hit it off and had a good relationship. Last summer, they were invited to the Weasley family's Burrow for vacation.

The Burrow is completely different from this place. If the living environment here is the same as that of Muggles, then the Burrow can be said to be the place where wizards live in children's fairy tales.

There are all kinds of magical furniture, self-cleaning sinks, iron pots that can cook by yourself, clocks that mark the location and status of family members, and gardens full of goblins, which are twisted and do not meet any Muggle physical definition. architecture,

However, the old Black family house where Finny lived did not have these magical elements at all. Therefore, this made Hermione very confused, but she was not very embarrassed to ask directly.

Fortunately, Feeney saw her doubts and asked her questions for her, and also told her the answer.

"I think you have such doubts because you have been to the Weasley family before. Speaking of which, the situation of the Weasley family is indeed the situation of most families in the wizarding world. They use various magical props to make their Life becomes more convenient and more magical.”

"The reason why this place is different is because the Black family has its own house elves. Well, you should have seen Puff before. She is one of the house elves. Like her, there are many more in the Black family. They will be responsible for all the housework in our daily life and even help us with other things. Because they are magical creatures and have magical talents that are not inferior to wizards, they will not be too tired when doing these things. Oh, by the way, in Hogwarts the house elves are responsible for the food we eat and the cleaning of dirty clothes. They live in the kitchen next to the Hufflepuff common room."

Hermione nodded thoughtfully,

Because of Finny, Harry did not live with his aunt and uncle. The Malfoy family also defected to the Black family very early. Voldemort's diary was also destroyed by him. Therefore, Hermione did not see the original book. Dobby, the house elf who appeared in the movie, did not understand the real life of house elves in the magical world. Therefore, when she heard Feeney say this, she did not have an obvious impression.

And precisely because Finny used house elves as a kind of combat reserve strength training when he was young, the living environment of the house elves in the Black family is much better than that of their peers in the wizarding world. Even though Hermione After seeing them, they would not have the idea of ​​establishing the House-Elf Welfare Promotion Association in the original book.

Speaking of which, in the original book, Hermione is one of the heroes who saves the magical world with Harry. Otherwise, she would never be able to become the Minister of Magic based on her proposal alone.

After all, the Ministry of Magic actually manages the magical world for pure-blood families, and the existence of house elves is actually the fundamental interest of pure-blood families. They not only make the lives of pure-blood wizards more convenient, but also know many things that cannot be revealed. secret, so Hermione's behavior is actually digging into their foundation,

Fortunately, everything has changed now because of Feeney's existence.

While introducing the situation in the old house, Feeney led a few people to the living room on the second floor (Finney had long ago changed the custom of using the head of the Black family elf as a decoration, so the first floor At that time, Hermione and the others did not see that scary scene. Sirius himself hated this custom, so he was very happy with Finny's change.)

"Finney, have you gained anything from this retreat?"

After sitting down and briefly chatting about the situation of this old house, Lia then asked,

Because the people here were all people whom Feeney trusted very much, she didn't avoid asking them about Feeney.

Feeney clicked his right hand in the air, and a ball of water appeared out of thin air, and then began to change, turning into a small creature with the same appearance as a fairy.

This little creature seemed to be very excited as it flew around above Finny's head.

Feeney introduced with a smile,

"This is what I gained. Although my plastic magic could summon such a creature before, it was the result of deforming the elements and then infusing them. It will disappear directly after I cancel the magic. But this is different. "

"It will always exist, and it has a core in its body, which is a combination of water element and soul power. It can split the core according to its own wishes, and the split core will automatically condense in the air. The water element has become the second such creature. In other words, although it is still an elemental creature, it no longer relies on my magic to exist, but exists independently in this world, forming a unique species."

Hermione's expression was very exaggerated. She knew nothing about Muggles, but she understood the meaning of Finny's magic.

"Able to exist independently and reproduce, Finny, have you created a new creature?"

Feeney nodded and said with a little pride,

"Yes, from a certain perspective, I created a new race, and they also have certain magical talents. Of course, they are only in their own attribute fields,"

When Sirius heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked again as if confirming,

"Finney, you mean, not just the water element, but other elements too?"

Feeney nodded matter-of-factly,

"Of course, it's not enough, because depending on the nature of the elements, the forms of other elemental creatures are also different. Fire elements are more likely to be snakes and phoenixes, wind elements are eagles, and earth elements are humanoid creatures."

With that said, Feini summoned creatures of several elements to appear in front of several people.

At this time, Sirius also discovered very keenly that the core shapes of these elemental creatures were all different.

The shape of these cores is the shape of elemental creatures. Therefore, in fact, the appearance of elemental creatures changes with the change of the core. However, the fire element is unstable, the water element is softer, the wind element is more elegant, and the earth element is thicker. For their sake, Feeney chose the form that best suited them to form the creatures,

Compared to snakes and phoenixes with fire elements, fairies with water elements and eagles with wind elements are very popular with several girls, even Hope, who has graduated, is no exception.

Feeney had no choice but to let the creatures he summoned split and form new creatures. This allowed several girls to each get a creature they liked.

Feeney is quite satisfied with this result. He has improved this magic in this direction and has the idea of ​​letting these elemental creatures protect the people around him.

In particular, the cores of these creatures will absorb the power of the elements, and there is no limit to their size. They will continue to grow larger and more powerful.
