Chapter 452: Abstain from fear

Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Acupoint Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Before, when Maca was busy back and forth between the United States and Britain, the old Black House was not idle. Voldemort's penetration of the Ministry of Magic has never stopped.
The members of the Order of the Phoenix did not have much time to rest, because there would always be tasks before them one by one, so that they would not even give up the sigh of relief.
Kingsley's physical condition is good and he is worried about the situation of the Ministry of Magic. He just returned to his post and continued to run for the Order of the Phoenix.
When Kingsley was not in his old home, Lupin became the prime minister. Various intelligence documents, as well as report documents before and after the mission, were piled up in front of him.
Now Sirius is finally back, but judging by his injury, taking good rest is his top priority. So, even though he wanted to help Lupin himself, Lupin put him decisively on the bed.
But to be honest, Black's old house is much busier now than when it was just rebuilt.
Of the children rescued by Maca from the dungeon, only those who were simply taken away have been returned to their homes as they wished, while others who had nowhere to go for various reasons were left behind. Black's old house continues to look for a possible way out.
In any case, these children have one thing in common: they have all experienced the first magic runaway and are children with wizarding talent. After this incident, when they reach their age, they will probably be admitted as students by the magic school.
And the little girl who was rescued by Maca first was one of the children who stayed. Her name is--
"... Isra, have dinner."
The sister of the werewolf sisters, Lena, still looks like a word of love, even if she is facing a child, she is no different from usual.
However, she has not been completely unchanged after living in Black's old house for so long.
For example, her cooking skills seem to be more exquisite than Mrs. Weasley. It's just that she always likes to try a variety of "new menus", which leads to a weird-looking dish on the table from time to time.
But it can be seen that at least she is really used to the leisure life here. As long as sister Lenny is happy every day, she can enjoy it in her own way.
"I see." Isla, sitting on the stairs in a daze, nodded at the words.
The little girl was obviously frightened in the dungeon, and before she was arrested by the old wizard, she seemed to have encountered some painful past. This experience made her a lot of daze alone and didn't like to talk much.
Speaking of which, when Maka met her in the dungeon, she was extremely dirty. The darkened blood was mixed with dirt and dust, damaged clothes and long hair with burps. It looked like a broken doll turned out of a trash can.
But when she was sent here and cleaned well, Mrs. Weasley waited for a job, but found that this was a pretty little girl.
I am afraid that only an old wizard like Lenny who only cares about research will torture such a cute little girl without pity.
After notifying Isla, Lena walked past her and called the other children upstairs.
Isla pursed her lips, but did not immediately get up to go to the kitchen, still sitting on the wooden steps of the stairs, as if thinking about something.
When Lena came downstairs with her five or six children, she stood up gently and walked silently to the opposite hallway.
As you walk through this corridor, you should be as quiet as possible. These children who have experienced are very sensible and obviously more mature than their peers. They are always careful here and try not to bother anyone in the old house.
Therefore, the portrait of Mrs. Black, who was always startled by the rough Mr. Tonks, never had her children provoke her.
Much as Maca speculated, these children were nervous when they were sent here. They have a great deal of mistrust of all people and things in this world.
In order to try to control them, Old Lenny often used both hard and soft, these children are not not seen so-called good. But when the beautiful past on the surface, waiting for them is always boundless fear and helplessness.
However, distrust and disobedience are two concepts that can be distinguished.
There may be no trust in their hearts. Even the big brother who rescued them from may not be convinced. But even so, they will never be disobedient.
There is a reason they keep in mind that it is-the disobedient people are dead.
The dining table in the kitchen was replaced by a larger long table, which was cut off from the living room above. Even though the rooms in Black's old house were very spacious, even the kitchen was the same, but after setting the long table, it became quite crowded.
The children sat quietly at the long table, making as little noise as possible.
If someone can look closer during this time, they will find that they are sitting in fixed positions. From the first time I sat down to eat here, nothing has changed.
However, this time it was a little different.
It was Isla. She didn't sit down like the other children this time, but stood with her lips together. The expression on her face was deepening gradually.
It is lunch time now, and there are very few members left to eat at Black's old mansion; coupled with Mrs. Weasley's return to the Burrow with Mrs. Percy, who is still awake, this lunch is even more deserted.
"... What's wrong?" Lu Ping, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, asked softly. "Do you have anything to say? It doesn't matter, just say it, it's okay ..."
"Yes, yes! Just say what you want, this uncle is good at talking!" Lenny was still so lively.
"... Maca, I want to see Maca ..." Isla gently said, "Where is he?"
"Oh-he's busy right now and can't get away," Lupin explained. "But Christmas is coming, and he will be back by then."
"'Christmas'?" Isla seemed puzzled. "What's that?"
Her situation seemed special, and it was clear that she had never known of the festival at all.
"Uh ... it was a sacrifice day to thank nature and life. It was a major festival of ancient Druidism. But now Muggles call it 'Christmas', and we slowly get used to it ... ... "
Lupin was naturally surprised that Isla didn't know about Christmas, but he also learned something from Sirius's mouth about the unusual experiences of these children. So no matter how surprised he was, he didn't delve into it, so as not to accidentally touch the pain in the heart of the child.
However, the more he explained, the more he felt better not to explain, because Isla was obviously more at a loss.
"... Um, anyway, it's a happy day." Lu Ping finally gave up his understanding of the origin of Christmas, but chose simple and understandable instructions. "There will be delicious, fun, and there will be gift……"
Having said that, he suddenly nodded and smiled and said, "Oh, right! By that day, remember to prepare well, each of you will have a gift!"
"... that is, will Maca be back that day?" Isla was obviously not interested in gifts or anything, all she cared about was whether she could see Maca.
Unlike other children, Isla seemed to care about the big brother who gave her freedom and hope.
"Yes, he will come that day!" Lu Ping responded positively. "And I'm sure he also gave you a gift-Maca, no mistakes in this kind of heartwarming details. ! "
"Okay." Isla nodded her head slightly ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Then she opened her chair and sat down. "Thank you for your answer, Mr. Lupin."
"I said, don't be so polite with us, kid." Lu Ping waved his hands. "Hurry up! Don't have to be so restrained all the time, it will be easier to let go."
But no matter what he said, these children were always cautious, as if all this had become their habit.
With as little silence as possible, they quickly resolved the food that had been placed on their plate, and then said quietly and left the table.
From start to finish, they didn't even glance at those plates in the middle of the table.
Generally speaking, everyone has no food in the plate, and they are free to choose their favorite food. But when Mrs. Weasley found out that these children only took a little bit of food and ran away after eating, she had to match them in their respective plates from the beginning.
Because she knew that it was useless to persuade them. If they took it by themselves, they would still take only a little bit.
It is foreseeable that for these children to return to normal life, it takes a lot of time to run in, and it will not be able to adapt in a short while.
"... Thank you for your food."
Isla had finished eating, and like other children, after thanking her, she slowly walked out of the kitchen with Lupin's helpless eyes.
"Lena, you are close to these children. How do you think it is better to get along with them?" After watching the children leave one by one, Lupin could not help but turn around and asked, "They always look like this, It must be bad. "
Lena put down her fork and looked at Lupin with a rather serious expression.
