Grimmauld Place, in north-west London, is a somewhat shabby, old-fashioned square, even though it's only twenty minutes from King's Cross Station.

The facades of the surrounding houses are gloomy, and they look like they are thousands of miles away. Some houses had broken windows that glowed dimly in the light of street lamps, many doors were peeling with paint, and a few homes were littered with garbage outside the front door steps......

A flying broom suddenly fell from the sky and landed on a messy and barren meadow in the middle of the square.

The owner of the broom took off his cloak, revealing a scarred face under his thick dark gray hair, which looked like an old rotten wood.

While putting away the broomstick, I regained my crutches...... Alastor Moody used his bright blue magic eye to observe his surroundings very cautiously.

But as he looked around, a soft explosion was heard in the air.

Alertly in front of the Auror, he hurriedly raised his crutches at the location where the explosion sounded.

"Alasto, it's my ......" a deep, slow voice was heard from the explosion.

He was a tall, balding, dark-skinned wizard who was quite handsome, except for the gold earrings on one of his ears, which looked a bit of an eyesore.

"Kingsley, damn it......" Mad-Eye Moody grumbled as he put his cane down again, "I've said many times, don't come to Grimmauld Place by apparition...... In case you are stalked by the Death Eaters......"

"Sorry...... I'll be on the lookout next time......" Kingsley said with a smile, but he didn't seem to pay much attention to what the other man said, "This is this time...... There is very urgent news!"

"Oh?" Moody looked up, his scarred face growing more serious.

"Lucius Malfoy has escaped from Azkaban!" Kingsley whispered.

......

"Malfoy!" the mad-eyed man took a deep breath and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"It's quite surprising...... After all, during the hostage exchange a few months ago, Voldemort did not choose to exchange for Malfoy...... And now Azkaban, it is said that the guards are extremely tight...... "Kingsley spoke slowly in his magnetic voice.

After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, the Ministry of Magic doesn't seem to be willing to make too much noise about it...... In fact, very few people knew about it, and I only found out about it when I overheard my immediate boss, Gadwin Robaz, reporting to Rufus Scrimgeur......"

"Yes...... "The mad-eyed man frowned, and as he thought about it, he whispered, "So...... Who is the Auror in charge of Azkaban's caretaker this week?"

"It's Gadwin Robaz!" Kingsley replied calmly.

"That's even weirder!" Moody scratched at his messy hair, "It seems that we have to wait for Dumbledore to come over and discuss this with him......"

"Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen Professor Dumbledore!" Ginsley said casually.

"yes, he's been too busy lately...... Moody nodded, "because of that incident in Newmongard...... But I can't help him much with that...... When the Dark Lord was first defeated by Dumbledore, I had just become a trainee Auror at the Ministry of Magic......"

"Let's hope it's not as bad as it seems...... Otherwise, he is definitely a more difficult opponent than Voldemort. It is said that my grandfather died at his hands...... Kingsley also nodded thoughtfully: "That's it, let's go in......"

"Wait...... Looks like there's someone else!" Moody interrupted Kingsley rudely, then raised his cane again.

As soon as Alastor Moody's words fell, a soft explosion was heard in the air again.

"It's Remus!" Kingsley said quickly.

"That's right...... It's me, Alastor ......" The man who suddenly appeared hurriedly raised his hand to Moody.

"Damn!" Moody grumbled loudly, "I've warned you many times not to come to Grimmauld Place by apparition...... In case you are stalked by the Death Eaters...... You should find a spot ten miles from here, and then make sure you're safe before driving your broomstick!"

"Sorry...... I'm sorry......" Remus-Lupin hurriedly laughed.

Looking at the mad-eyed man who was angrily inspecting his surroundings, Kingsley smiled helplessly at Remus: "What, you came from Romania?"

"yes...... I've finally solved the situation over there!" Lupin nodded: "The Ministry of Magic of Romania is really too difficult to deal with......"

"Make sure you're not being followed!" The Crazy Eye man limped back, and at the same time angrily interrupted the conversation between the two: "Let's go, let's go in!"

Remus-Lupin and Kingsley Shackel hurriedly stopped talking.

Moody pulled a piece of parchment out of his pocket and read it softly...... From the upstairs window of the nearest house there was a faint rumble of stereo sounds, and a pungent stench of rotting garbage emanated from the bulging garbage pockets in the dilapidated door.

Then, a tattered door popped up out of thin air at 11 and 13 Grimmauld Place, followed by dirty walls and eerie windows, as if an extra house had suddenly swelled up, squeezing everything open on either side.

"Let's go, hurry up. Moody yelled gruffly.

With a low roar, he walked up the tattered stone steps. The black paint on the door was peeling off, and it was covered with scratches on the left and right. The silver knocker is in the shape of a large coiled serpent. There is no keyhole in the door, and there is no mailbox.

Moody drew his wand and knocked on the door.

All I heard was the loud sound of a lot of metal crashing, and a clatter like a chain.

The door creaked open!

......

"Merry Christmas, Alasto, Kingsley...... Yo, Remus is back too!"

Mrs. Weasley was sorting things by the gate when she saw the three intruders with a warm smile on her face.

Cetina Warbeck's singing voice flowed emanially from the big wooden radio on the side, and she was Mrs. Weasley's favorite singer.

"Merry Christmas, Molly!" Kingsley and Remus said in unison.

Mad-Eye Moody muttered a few words as well, but the radio was too loud to hear him clearly.

"The meeting has begun, and everyone is basically here, except for Professor Dumbledore, you know, he's been very busy lately!" Mrs. Weasley reminded in a whisper.

The three of them hurriedly strode towards the conference room.

The small room was already full of people at this time, and the three of them quietly walked in.

Alastor Moody sat at the front and on the right, while Kingsley Shackel sat between Nymphadora Tonks and Hestya Jones, and as for Lupin-

"Remus!" A somewhat agitated voice came from the side of the door, "It's been a long time since I've seen you......"

"Harry Potter!" Remus Lupin whispered the other's name, then walked over and gave him a warm hug.

"Old man, you look a lot better than you did in between!" said Cialis Black on the side, smiling.

"Yes, life in Romania is pretty comfortable...... At least they don't discriminate against werewolves!" Remus and Sirius clashed fists, and said with a smile: "What about you, how have you been for the past six months?"

"It's not the same as before, boring and boring!" Cialis shrugged, "I've been suggesting that Professor Dumbledore allow me to turn into a dog and go outside to help the Order of the Phoenix get some information...... However, he never replied to me......"

"Professor Dumbledore is busy. Lupin said calmly, "You know...... What's happened recently......"

"yes!" Cialis Black nodded thoughtfully.

Looking at the curious eyes of Harry Potter on the side, Lupin hurriedly patted his shoulder: "By the way, Harry...... Go back upstairs and find Ron, our meeting should be about to begin......"

However, Harry did not leave in a bit of a dejected mood as Remus had expected.

Instead, he smiled and shook his head at Lupin.

Cialis Black on the side also smiled and said:

"Professor Dumbledore has agreed...... Allow Harry to join the Order of the Phoenix!"
