Vol 2 Chapter 779: Christmas holidays

During the Christmas holidays, the Hogwarts Express traveled through the icy wilderness, and the smoke from the red steam locomotive scattered onto the white wilderness and mixed together.
"Pancey and Snape talked quietly at the banquet, and mentioned that Dumbledore had left the school. They must be planning some conspiracy." Harry leaned against the frozen window and turned to Ron affirmatively. Said.
"I believe you Harry." Ginny, who was sitting next to Harry, took her boyfriend's hand instead.
Ron leaned forward with his hands on his legs. He was just about to say something when he was attracted by the sound of Lavender Brown tapping the glass at the door of the box.
Lavender held his hands on the door frame, his head swayed and he breathed into the glass to fill it with mist. Ron slid his hands on the seat, sat up straight and watched Lavender's every move with a barely smile. .
Due to the cold weather, the breath formed a white mist on the glass. Lavender stretched out his finger and drew a shining heart through the glass with "R+L" written in the middle of the heart shape. Seeing that the fog was not so obvious, Lavender breathed again, making the heart shape he drew more obvious. Then he said to Ron with an exaggerated mouth through the glass: "I miss you." Seeing Ron lip-synched back to her but didn't mean it, Lavender turned and left.
"It's cute." The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit awkward, and Harry started to ease the atmosphere, but then Ginny twisted around his waist, making him hiss and change his expression in pain.
Ron jerked his lips towards Harry's eyes with a bit of distress. "She wants to kiss me all day long. My lips are kissed. Look."
"That's it, I believe it." Harry leaned back and Ron's shoulder was pushed back by Ginny, and he sat back in his seat.
"Ron, it's enough for the two of you to be affectionate regardless of the occasion." Ginny sneered.
"Don't think I didn't see you kissing Harry." Ron muttered. Ginny's eyes widened and she raised her hand to hit. Ron stretched out her hand to block it and said, "Harry, you and Sirius will be early this year. Come to the Burrow." Ron maintained his defensive posture against his sister, turning his head to invite Harry.
The next night, in the northwest of London, England, in the Black family mansion at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, a 20-minute walk from King’s Cross Station, in the dimly lit restaurant, I don’t know how many days’ leftovers were left on the table The chilled dinner plates flew into the sink in the kitchen one by one under the command of Tonks. Splashes flowed from the faucet, and a brush was automatically cleaning the plates.
"I haven’t been here for a few days, and your place has become messy again. You can’t persuade Sirius to allow Kreacher to come out of his broken cupboard and clean up the house for you, instead of ordering him to stay where no one else can see. It’s better to let him come out and continue working for you.
Tonks wrinkled his nose and stared at the greasy dishes in disgust.
"Trust me, I have persuaded many times since I came back yesterday." Harry picked up a basket full of a few pieces of dry bread and walked directly into the basement kitchen to the other end of the room. Stopped in front of the cupboard, twisted the door of the cupboard, looked inside in disgust, randomly put the plate of food in the cupboard, then stood up, closed the cupboard with a slap, turned around and started using it for wear With the housework skills mastered by Aunt Ni's house, she skillfully helped herself and her godfather clean the room.
When Harry heard the cries of the dinner and returned to the restaurant, the table was cleaned up and new plates were placed.
Recently, for Lupin, Tonks, who started to learn how to handle housework with Mrs. Molly, made a typical English dinner with a meat dish roast beef and two vegetarian dishes as side dishes. Potatoes and overcooked can never be wrong. Broccoli-even by the standards of British people who are used to cooking carrots and broccoli for a long time, they will feel that these tonight are overcooked.
But Harry wasn't thinking about the food, thinking about the conversation he heard about Snape and Pansy before, he kept cutting the food on his plate with a knife. Just as Harry was about to speak out the doubt in his heart, Tonks’ voice interrupted his belly-draft:
Sirius, Molly invited us to the Burrow for Christmas. Why on earth are you not planning to go?
Tonks Si took off her apron and sat next to Lupin.
"Lupin told me that Ellen didn't plan to see me yet, but he was unwilling to ask Arthur to send me a message before..." Sirius's fork fiercely put a piece of broccoli into it. In his mouth, he muttered, "Besides, Molly is too wide."
"He doesn't want to see you. It's useless for you to let Arthur send a message..." Lupin noticed his friend's expression and paused and changed his statement. There are too many wizards of melon and mixed blood. You know, even many pure-blood homes don’t have house elves anymore."
"Almost no restaurants will be open at Christmas." Tonks continued as soon as Lupin's words fell.
The cute look of her shaking her head made Lupin unable to help rubbing her pink hair, and continued to persuade: "Don't go to the Burrow with us for Christmas, do you want Harry to be hungry with you? ?"
"You can take Harry there, I won't." Sirius frowned, his tone becoming impatient.
Harry, Lupin and Tonks looked at each other and nodded, deliberately saying: "If you don't go, I won't go either."
"Okay, okay, I'll go over with Harry at that time." Sirius scratched his tousled hair. "I will bring the mandela to the children and let them have a good meal. Contained."
After cleaning the tableware after the meal and helping the fiance's friend clean, Tonks leaned in Lupin's arms, "We should go now."
"So fast?" Harry pushed his glasses, but Tonks and the others had already walked out the door. Harry quickly followed and stood side by side on the steps with Sirius. What he wanted to say before could only find opportunities later. .
Tonks and Lupin were close to each other and waved goodbye to Harry and Sirius, and they disappeared with a whistle.
At the same time, Harris Manor was brightly lit, and the Allen family also stood at the door and sent the guests to the Harris family gathering to leave.
Ice and snow fell on the ground, several horse-drawn carriages stood quietly in the night, and those who could see them would notice this creature that many people regarded as unknown. The eyes without pupils were white and intently. Staring, describing terrible. The diehard Grindelwald loyalists who were recruited to join Harris got on these carriages with the help of their children and grandchildren, and they staggered into the night, and these wizards who helped their clan leader leave, As officials of the Ministry of Magic, they immediately rode in a wizard car driven by armed Auror guards, drove a distance on the road and then flew into the sky.
And some members like umbrella company members, new friends of the slug club, and some who are not too particular about decent ostentation, choose to use the phantom shift to go home directly~EbookFREE.me~ and a little like to feel lonely in the snowy night The riding wizards stepped onto the flying broomstick.
When the last wizard left Harris Manor, the Harriss, who were exhausted by socializing for a night, loosened their tie, took off their evening gown, and changed into comfortable and loose clothes after washing. Gathered in Harris Tower.
At this time, they are all my own family members, who can lie down on the sofa regardless of their image, drink warm tea, and sit together as a family.
"Speaking of it, you noticed that Percy Weasley was shaking hands with people almost non-stop all night. Once an identified wizard passed by his seat, he would stand up and bow again and again. He might be afraid tomorrow. Back pain." Daisy chuckled cross-legged on the sofa holding a pillow.
"There are a lot of harassing horses around him tonight." Xenofilius played with a set of bright yellow anti-demon glasses, waving his hand in the void as if he was driving away something.
"The third son of the Weasley family places too much emphasis on power and superstitious authority. He wants to go up too much and he blindly pursues fame and fortune. However, he has not received the education he deserves in his family, and he takes care of others. Wu Wu loses his sense, but given his father's contribution and importance to our umbrella company, I can't just invite Arthur and not his son." Owen leaned back.
Morgan Lefay Rozier Harris leaned against her husband and sighed, "Speaking of which, three seniors have passed away this year. Fortunately, their heirs have done a good job in the Ministry of Magic. The revival of the family is expected-because of Grindelwald. The days of oppression after Mr.'s fall are finally over."
"Lun, why are you so slow?" Daisy raised her voice deliberately to divert her mother's attention when she saw Lun, who had just entered the tower by the Apparition.
