Chapter 372 Christmas Holidays, Unwelcome Guests
The next day Aiden followed the twins back to the Burrow to pick up their luggage.
Thanks to Sirius's adoption, Lupin and his wife and the Weasleys decided to move to the Black mansion.
Although the prophecy was able to bypass the protection of the Fidelius Spell and locate their direction.
However, even if Senior Sister Tom came in person, she could not find this secret hidden in the soul.
"It's really unfair. Why can Aiden cast spells outside of school?" Ron pouted.
"He even left his wand with me. If you can still cast spells by leaving all your wands with me, then I will let you go." Mrs. Molly knocked on Ron's head after hearing this.
Ron closed his mouth and glared at Harry, who was snickering beside him.
......
On the other side, George and Fred arrived at the Burrow, packed up their things, and then rushed to the Muggle village next door.
"Oh, what are you doing? Now is not the time to joke."
Aiden tried to grab George, but the sudden weight on him stopped him.
It turned out that Fred hooked Aiden from the side.
"George has recently fallen in love with a girl from a Muggle origami shop and goes there every day to perform magic tricks for her."
After saying this he raised an eyebrow at Aiden.
"Does my aunt know?" Aiden also raised his eyebrows at him.
"We don't know yet. Right now they are just at the stage of liking each other," Fred revealed.
"Well, I hope he can get there before Bill...so that I'll have something to make fun of Bill." Aiden grinned.
"Then I suggest you go to bed early. After all, dreams can contain anything." Fred rolled his eyes.
After George came back, the three of them returned to the Black house together.
"How about it, is that girl pretty?" Aiden joked.
"You knew!?" George froze, then glared at Fred with anger.
"In fact, George doesn't need to tell me. The whole of London has been under my sight during this period of time."
Aiden stretched out two fingers and pointed at his eyes.
They both looked at Aiden at the same time, and the different-colored dragon eyes opened in their hearts.
They both shuddered and looked away.
Back at the Burrow, the twins gave Mrs. Weasley a purple hat with jewels on it.
Aiden also gave her a necklace. The twelve gemstones on it sparkled with magical light, revealing the extraordinary nature of the necklace.
Harry on the side also received gifts, a sweater from Mrs. Weasley, products from the twins, a cane from Aiden, and a box of live maggots from Kreacher.
Ron also received a gold necklace from Lavender with the words 'My Sweetheart' written on it.
"Doesn't she know that you don't like such ostentatious accessories?" Harry asked puzzled.
"Well, we spend most of our time together kissing, so we don't have much time to talk about our preferences." Ron glanced at Harry awkwardly.
Then Ron looked at Aiden and gave him a teasing smile.
Just at this moment, Aiden also came over with snacks.
Harry turned his gaze towards him and asked, "Aiden, Tonks seems to be a little depressed lately. Do you know what's going on?"
"She fell in love with someone you were closest to, but the age gap between them was too big, so Tonks was very conflicted." Aiden replied.
Harry's mind immediately began to reflect on Tonks's original Patronus, which seemed to have taken the form of a four-clawed animal.
Combining the Patronus notes Aiden gave him, Harry speculated that Tonks must have fallen in love with - Sirius!
Then he hurried to find his godfather. After all, he regarded Tonks as his senior and didn't want her to be his godmother.
When Harry found Sirius and talked to him about this and that, Sirius finally understood what Harry meant.
"But Tonks doesn't like me, she wants to be with Remus." Sirius spread his hands.
Harry immediately realized that he had been tricked, but Aiden did not tell him who it was....
"Okay, don't worry about it, let them handle their own affairs."
Sirius patted Harry's head and said, "By the way, someone will come to visit us soon. Come with me to the door to meet them."
The father and son came to Grimmauld Place together. The new Minister of Magic, Ms. Amelia Bones, was standing outside with her assistant, Percy Weasley.
After Percy entered the house, he greeted his family. Mrs. Molly, with tears streaming down her face, rushed over to hug him.
Arthur and the twins looked at him coldly without saying a word.
The purpose of Bones' trip is to find Aiden.
"Since we last met at the Ministry of Magic, I have been too busy with work to visit you and Dumbledore." Bones started off politely.
However, Aiden obviously felt her change, and the slight alienation in her attitude could not be hidden from the audience.
"You have taken in some conservative forces." Aiden immediately revealed the purpose of Bones' visit, "In other words, you want to mediate."
"You should know that we can't do without them." Bones sighed.
“So you have to give up on the goals we set before launching the changes to the previous minister.”
The dragon's eyes were slightly closed, but the pressure revealed from within did not diminish in the slightest.
“This is politics, and it is no longer the ideal society we established in the beginning.
Nowadays, the Death Eaters of the You-Know-Who are rampant everywhere. If we increase the efforts to clean them up, it will only push more people to the You-Know-Who, won't it?"
Minister Bones is still looking for excuses.
"Huh." Aiden exhaled, "Then why bother looking for me again? Don't you already have a plan, Minister Bones?
Also, please go back. I have to spend the holidays with my family, so I won’t keep you here any longer.”
Aiden waved goodbye to the guests, while the twins and Ginny threw mashed potatoes at Percy, and the two representatives of the Ministry of Magic were driven out of the Black mansion.
"What's going on?" Arthur came over and asked.
"Ms. Bones wants to pursue a policy of appeasement." Aiden stared into the fire.
"But wouldn't that allow the You-Know-Who's power to grow in the Ministry of Magic?" Arthur exclaimed.
"Well, I should have thought that Ms Bones was a good director of law enforcement, but she was not a good minister.
Although she was at the forefront of the political power game, she wanted to act according to the magic regulations.
But she had never considered the magic law itself...” Aiden paused and glanced at Arthur.
"The magic rules themselves are something we weave to maximize our interests, right?" Arthur helped him finish what he wanted to say.
"Or maybe she didn't realize..., heh."
Aiden laughed at his own words, and he was saddened by the early departure of his fellow travelers on the road to change.
"She must have realized it. Or how could she not realize it with her eyesight and sense of smell? So everything is just an excuse."
Aiden let out a long breath and then disappeared into the Burrow.
