Chapter 526 [2-in-1] Secret Meeting

He Dian Bai Kai Shui
"It's strange. This is the first time I've seen Kreacher like this." Sirius walked over, picked up the box in Soul's hand, looked through it, and tried to open the box with his hands, but the edges of the box seemed to be rusty. , motionless.
Plus that layer of green rust that hides the surface pattern.
Sirius quickly lost interest and threw it back to Soul.
"This is just an ordinary box."
"I'm quite interested. Can you give it to me?" Su'er was almost certain that this was one of Lu Dan's seven Horcruxes.
Although I don't know why the locket is here and not in Kreacher's room, it doesn't matter anymore.
"If you are interested, just take it. I have never seen it before I left here when I was 16 years old. I guess it is a collection that my father found somewhere."
"Be careful, there might be something unsafe up there, it's best to show it to Alastor."
Soul nodded and put the locket into his pocket.
It was obviously much easier to clean up the Black family's collection in the glass cabinet than to clean up Hu Meizi. At about three o'clock, everyone left the living room, except for the creaking and shaking desk and the Black family hanging on the wall. Apart from the family tree, the entire living room has a completely new look.
When Sirius carried the bag downstairs, there was a lot of jingling inside the bag.
Ron was holding a music box in his hand. Speaking of this music box, it made some noise in the afternoon. If someone twists the spring on the back of the music box a few times, it will make a tinkling sound. The thumping music will make those who hear it inexplicably become weak and drowsy.
"Turning around while sleeping is great for hypnosis!" said Ron.
What kind of strange hobby is this? This hypnosis also comes with a weak debuff. Sur said he couldn't understand it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed quite reasonable?
When everyone arrived downstairs, they were surprised to find Mr. Weasley already in the temporary restaurant. He seemed to have left work early, and there was a zippered bag at his feet.
I don't know what happened, but Mr. Weasley looked very ugly.
Mrs. Weasley's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Although the twin brothers usually made Mrs. Weasley angry, when Mrs. Weasley was wronged, they were the most angry.
"Mom, did that guy Percy make you angry again!" Fred shouted, "Where is he now? I told you a long time ago that his mind is confused, it's time for us to punch him Wake up!”
"What's going on? Dad?" George looked at Mr. Weasley.
Seeing the indignant expressions of the Weasley brothers, Mrs. Weasley wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile.
"Don't say that about your brother, Fred. He just made a mistake that everyone makes when they are young."
"Ha, so it's really Percy who made you angry?" Fred laughed angrily, "A mistake that any young man would make? I think he has a brain problem."
"Okay, Fred, George." Mr. Weasley shook his head, "He will always find that he did something wrong. Who doesn't make mistakes?"
"Let's go upstairs, Molly. I've brought everything you told me to get, but I'm not sure if there's anything missing. If there's anything missing, it's still early, so I can still make a run."
Mrs. Weasley nodded and sadly followed Mr. Weasley upstairs. From the unpleasant noise coming from the floor, her footsteps were very heavy.
Sirius said "I'll go take a look" and followed him. It seemed that he had something to say to the Weasleys.
……
No one spoke in the makeshift dining room next to the kitchen. Only the Weasley brothers crossed their chests and walked around angrily.
Soul probably knew what happened. During this period, Percy was captured by power, obsessed with it, and had rifts in his relationships with his family members.
But Harry had just arrived here, and before he came here, he had been completely cut off from the wizarding world for a month. He had no idea what had happened to the Weasley family with whom he was friends.
"So, can anyone tell me? What happened?" Harry said aloud, "I've wanted to ask since yesterday why Percy isn't here."
"That's an idiot, Harry," Ron said angrily.
"I heard at the Ministry that Percy is going to live in a house arranged by the Ministry of Magic. Where are his parents?" Bill also skipped work early and came back.
"Ha, no wonder," George said grimly, "I guess we're finally rid of him."
"So what's going on?" Harry became even more confused.
"It's really terrible." Ginny said sadly, "Percy and Dad had a big fight. I've never seen Dad argue like that with anyone. Usually only Mom makes a lot of noise..."
"It was the first week of the holidays," Ron continued, "We were getting ready to join the Order, and Percy came home and told us he had been promoted."
"Are you kidding?" Even though Harry had not been involved in anything related to politics, he understood that as a member of the Weasley family, Percy had been labeled as Dumbledore, and anyone could be promoted. Only he doesn't.
Although Percy has always been ambitious...
"We thought it was a joke, too," said Fred. "You didn't see the smug look on his face when he came home. While we were enjoying our dinner, he announced that Fudge had given him a seat in the minister's office. position."
"This is really a great job, isn't it?" George said sarcastically, "Of course he is very proud of it. No newly graduated Hogwarts student can become a junior assistant to the Minister soon after entering the Ministry of Magic for the first time."
"He must have thought Dad would be happy about it," Fred said.
"But Dad didn't, he was furious." George shook his head, "Even we can all see why Fudge put Percy around."
"I can see it too." Ron sneered and said, "But Percy, you idiot, thought he was being reused."
"This is indeed a good job." Harry nodded. "The problem is that Fudge took the initiative to put Percy next to him."
"Yes, Dad thinks that Fudge is using Percy to spy on our family, because Dad has a good relationship with Dumbledore." Ron said, "Fudge has a very bad relationship with Dumbledore. He made it clear that anyone with Dumbledore has a bad relationship." No one with connections to Blido can stay in the ministry.”
"This is obviously fanciful..." Bill also sneered, "He can't do this at all, we all know, Ms. Bones..."
"Oh, speaking of Ms. Bones, she's your aunt, right? Soul?"
Su Er was eating the melon the whole time without making any comments. When the topic suddenly came to him, he just nodded.
"In that case, even if Percy is transferred to Fudge's office, he can refuse it. Doesn't he know..." Harry said.
"If only he knew." Ginny shook her head. "Obviously, my dear brother doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. He is really out of his mind."
"Said a lot of horrible things." Ron gave a hollow laugh. "That he has been having to fight tooth and nail to get rid of his father's bad reputation ever since he joined the Ministry."
"Because Fudge always thought Dad was a little weird, being so obsessed with Muggle things." Fred said.
"He also said that Dad had no ambition at all, so we always lived - you know - I mean never had much money," Ron continued.
"What?" Harry looked like he couldn't believe it. He couldn't imagine that Percy could say such a thing.
"Mum was so angry that she smashed things to pieces. They were really heartbroken that day." Ginny sighed, and Hermione put a comforting arm around her shoulders.
"Compared to what happened later, the quarrel was just a minor incident." George said, "He said that his father was extremely stupid for being with Dumbledore. Dumbledore was about to be in big trouble, and he must be firmly loyal to magic. Only by doing this can our family not be unlucky because of Dumbledore's downfall."
"If Mum and Dad insist on betraying the Ministry of Magic, he will let everyone know that he no longer belongs to this family." Fred added, "He left with a few clothes that day. In a house arranged by the Ministry of Magic."
Ginny couldn't help crying, "I came to London with my mother and wanted to have a serious talk with Percy, but Percy slammed the door in front of us."
"He must have believed what was said in the Daily Prophet." Hermione said with certainty, "Fudge has never believed that he has come back."
"But that's the truth. I don't believe Percy didn't see Soul and I that day..." Harry couldn't help but curse a few times.
"Sul almost died. I saw him being cursed with a life-killing curse..."
At the mention of the Unforgivable Curse, the room suddenly became silent...
……
Everyone wisely kept silent during dinner, no one had a better idea about Percy's situation.
Soul may have, but what does that have to do with him?
An outsider who gets involved in other people's family affairs can easily end up with an unpleasant outcome for both parties. The wisest thing to do is to watch quietly.
However, during the entire dinner time, Su Er felt very uncomfortable because a pair of eyes kept looking at him from a dark corner.
He knew who was looking at him and why.
That locket is already certain to be that one.
However, he still doesn't know how to deal with this locket. After all, it also involves a past event.
It was eleven o'clock at night on the first floor. Others had gone upstairs to sleep. Fred and George were obsessed with studying their new products. There was no doubt about Soul leaving the bedroom.
Soul and Hermione sat quietly on the chairs, leaning against each other and whispering. There was always something to talk about between lovers, even if it was a boring topic about the weather, they could talk endlessly.
A ball of flame appeared out of thin air in this temporary restaurant, and a big golden-red bird spread its wings in the flames. Compared to the end of the last semester, Fox was much younger.
There is nothing to say about this. Every nirvana is a new life for Phoenix.
Soul stood up from his seat and the phoenix landed on his shoulder.
"Let's go."
The young lovers hold hands, the phoenix sings softly, and the flames sweep down from the top of their heads.
This is a not very big room, very ordinary, with an ordinary wooden coffee table, a few wooden chairs and shelves full of books leaning against the wall.
Surprisingly, this is not the principal's office that Su Er has visited many times.
New map unlocked, get it!
"Are you here?" Dumbledore opened the door and walked in. A tray with three teacups, a teapot, and a saucer of sugar cubes floated steadily behind him.
"Sit down." Dumbledore's voice was a little tired, but there was a smile on his lips. "Would you like a sugar cube?"
"No need." Soul and Hermione shook their heads together. British black tea has its own sweetness, and good quality black tea will be sweet.
Dumbledore gently turned his fingers, and the crimson water with the aroma of tea filled the two empty cups, and then fell steadily into the hands of Soul and Hermione.
Then, he put four or five sugar cubes in his cup.
Melt the sugar cubes in the steaming tea.
Su Er's teeth were a little sour.
"Where is this? Professor."
"It's strange that this isn't Hogwarts, isn't it?" Dumbledore chuckled, "As I get older, I always miss things from the past. This is my second home."
“Usually after the students are on vacation, I like to come here to find some peace of mind.”
When Dumbledore said this, his gentle eyes kept looking in one direction.
Peace of mind?Are you sure you're not feeling sad because of the scene?Suer looked over together - there was a photo frame in the middle of the bookshelf, and the transparent frame glass protected the photo very well -
The two young people stood side by side, smiling brightly at the camera.
"Did you come to see us?" Hermione also saw the photo, but she didn't know Dumbledore's past, and she didn't care about the inherent meaning of the photo. Instead, she asked Dumbledore why he came to them.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I do have something to talk to you two about." Dumbledore picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "Before that, I want to confirm one thing. Soul, you should have learned the Animag... Is that right?"
"Yes."
"You should also know at the command center during this period that the recent days have not been very peaceful." Dumbledore said,
"Fudge was unwilling to accept the facts and tried to guide people's thoughts in the public opinion field. Voldemort was hiding in the dark to recruit troops and plan new plans."
Soul and Hermione nodded together, waiting for Dumbledore's next words.
"After so many things happened, many pairs of eyes were looking at me, not only Voldemort, but also Fudge."
"Many people know that you were hit by the Death Curse during the Triwizard Tournament not long ago, and people have always believed that it is difficult for wizards who have endured the Death Curse to survive."
"I need someone, someone who is not weak and who is apparently dead to help me."
Dumbledore first confirmed whether Soul had mastered the Animagus, and then mentioned the Death Curse... Old Bee's meaning was already obvious.
"I think I know what you want me to do." Soul said softly.
Plus that layer of green rust that hides the surface pattern.
Sirius quickly lost interest and threw it back to Soul.
"This is just an ordinary box."
"I'm quite interested. Can you give it to me?" Su'er was almost certain that this was one of Lu Dan's seven Horcruxes.

"Be careful, there might be something unsafe up there, it's best to show it to Alastor."
Soul nodded and put the locket into his pocket.

At about three o'clock, everyone left the living room, except for the creaking and shaking desk and the Black family hanging on the wall.
