Chapter 481 Tonks Family 1

Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
Smelling the alluring aroma emanating from the plate, Ron couldn't help but come closer and quietly stretched out his claws.
Mrs. Weasley had quick eyes and quick hands, and waved her wand.
With a "pop" sound, Ron's hand was slapped by invisible magic, and he pulled his hand back as if he was electrocuted.
"Don't be such a loser, Ron!" she warned, then turned around and went back to prepare other dishes.
"You deserve to eat it under your mother's nose!" Fred and George glanced at Ron and laughed.
Ron wanted to say something more, but at this moment, there was a movement in the fireplace.
Since there was no more firewood, the fire in the fireplace was about to go out, but suddenly a violent green flame rose.
Although the fire was powerful, there was no scorching heat wave. This was the effect caused by the floo powder.
The scary-looking flames didn't last long and quickly extinguished. Mr. Weasley appeared in the fireplace dusty and dressed in blue robes.
Seeing so many people gathered in the kitchen, he was stunned for a moment, and then said hello with a smile.
When shaking hands with him, even though Glenn tried hard to control it, he still seemed a little unnatural.
After all, for a person with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder, being covered in dust and wrinkled clothes caused by Floo powder travel is definitely unbearable.
Autumn noticed this keenly and took off the brush beside the fireplace and handed it to Mr. Weasley.
"Thank you!" Mr. Weasley took it slightly surprised and cleaned up the dust on his body.
"You got off work quite early today. I thought you had to wait until I prepared all the dishes!" Mrs. Weasley brought another large plate of vegetable salad to the table, and then turned around and went back to work.
Mr. Weasley smiled and explained: "Originally it was going to be later, but Lockhart suggested to the minister that since today is Christmas, it is better to let everyone get off work early."
"Oh!" Little stars appeared in Mrs. Weasley's eyes again, "Oh! Gilderoy Lockhart, what a kind person!"
Glenn and Sirius, who knew Lockhart's ins and outs, looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
At this time, the sound of the doorbell came from the hall, and Sirius hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, fearing that the sound of the doorbell would wake up his old mother portrait.
He walked quickly and finally opened the door before his mother was awakened.
However, his efforts failed to stop the screams from rising.
"Dirty Mudblood! Traitor of the family! How dare you—"
Lupine sighed and rushed out of the kitchen first, followed by Glenn and the twins to help.
"The prodigal son - the shame of the family..."
In the portrait, Walburga Black suddenly let out a piercing scream, and a middle-aged couple looked at the scene in front of them blankly.
A young witch who looked to be no more than 20 years old was lying on the ground in a state of disgrace, with the leg of the troll that had tripped Ron a few hours ago lying beside her.
Apparently, this was the next victim after Ron.
After some hard work, Wei Man was finally pulled up in front of the portrait, and the screams gradually subsided.
Lupine thoughtfully helped the young witch who was still lying on the ground, made a silencing gesture to everyone, and then invited them back to the kitchen in the basement.
"It seems that my aunt is still as grumpy as before, isn't she?" the middle-aged witch rubbed her ears and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Sirius sighed and nodded, "Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Andromeda Tonks."
He glanced at Harry and added: "Yes, Harry, she is my favorite cousin as I told you."
Andromeda smiled and nodded to everyone, and said with emotion: "Ever since I was expelled from the family many years ago, I never thought that I would come back here one day."
"I didn't expect that either." Sirius shrugged and continued to introduce, "This is Ted Tonks, my brother-in-law. Like you, Hermione, he is an outstanding Muggle family. wizard."
Ted is also a humorous person. He smiled and joked: "In the old house of the great Black family, shouldn't people like me be called mudbloods? It seems that the world has really changed!"
To be able to face such an insulting title with obvious prejudice so calmly and optimistically shows that he has a strong heart.
Sirius smiled at him and introduced the last person.
"Nymphadora, the daughter of Ted and Andromeda, my niece, is currently undergoing Auror training with the Ministry of Magic."
"Don't call me Nymphadora!" Tonks protested loudly, "Just call me Tonks."
Sirius shrugged: "As you can see, she prefers to be called Tonks."
Tonks nodded and looked back at her mother resentfully.
Next, Sirius introduced other people to their family one by one. When he mentioned Glenn, he was suddenly interrupted by Tonks.
"I know you - Glenn Ollivander!" she said loudly. "You happened to be in the first year when I graduated. At the last school dinner, Dumbledore gave you a lot of points and directly grabbed it. Gone is Slytherin’s House Cup!”
"You have a really good memory..." Glenn said slightly embarrassed.
After everyone chatted for a while, they all took their seats, and Mrs. Weasley brought the last dish to the table.
"Thank you so much, Molly!" Sirius said gratefully, "If it weren't for your help, I don't know how I would have managed this dinner."
"You're welcome!" Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, "It's just a meal..."
As a super housewife who supports a large family, she only has a few more mouths, which is not a problem at all for her.
Christmas dinner at Grimmauld Place was completely different from the time at Hogwarts. We were surrounded by familiar relatives and friends, and everyone was much more relaxed.
The most important thing is that they can drink openly.
Fred and George asked Sirius for a bottle of firewhiskey and secretly poured a lot of it into Percy's soup.
Percy felt something was not right at first, but under the semi-force of the twins, he drank the entire bowl of soup and started eating the main course before even taking a few bites. At this moment, he was dragging Lupine along. He kept crying about his unrequited love for Penello.
Lupine listened to his chatter with a helpless expression, occasionally raising a glass to drink with Sirius.
Tonks obviously has a bit of social twitch syndrome. She is showing off her ability to disguise herself as a Magus to a few girls she met for the first time. From time to time, she would change an organ on her face into an animal like a duck's beak or a pig's nose. The look made the little girls laugh constantly.
Mrs. Weasley had quick eyes and quick hands, and waved her wand.
With a "pop" sound, Ron's hand was slapped by invisible magic, and he pulled his hand back as if he was electrocuted.
"Don't be such a loser, Ron!" she warned, then turned around and went back to prepare other dishes.
