Chapter 13: The Order of the Phoenix's First Contact
There were many more things that the Weasley twins couldn't figure out, but it wasn't as shocking as they were to see a living Holly appear in front of them on Saturday night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Holly showed up at Grimmauld Place early on Saturday, not because she was too excited, but because she had been cautious, so she felt that it would be better to come over early to step on it...... If Dumbledore really had something to arrange here, he might be able to perceive anything in a relatively short period of time...... At least, it's not going to be kept in the dark from start to finish, is it?
But Holly seems to be thinking a little too much?
At least since the evening, after changing into Muggle clothes, Holly has been silently approaching Grimmauld Place in a Muggle way.
On the way, I changed the subway and Muggle taxis...... Fortunately, even if he grew up in an orphanage, Holly did not lack these skills necessary to survive in the Muggle world.
Grimmauld Place is not short of people, but it is not as crowded as the subway...... But that's what makes Holly spend a lot more time trying to rule out potential dangers.
If there are fewer people, you can see every corner of the square very clearly, and if there are too many people, at least Holly is not worried that someone will lay out through a similar situation, which will involve too many Muggles, at least Holly does not think that Dumbledore will not scruple about the impact then do it, if it is the Dark Lord, it will be different.
After finding a better place to see and buying some pigeon food, Holly began to pass the time while continuing to observe......
Time doesn't pass quickly, it's just that nothing happens, and no news is the best news, isn't it?
When the time was about to come to the appointed time, a gust of wind blew, and the idle people who were still lingering around the square, as if they had received an order, packed up their things one after another, and left one by one or walked slowly, or took a taxi. All that was left was the pigeon, who had no idea what was going on, and Holly, who was in the corner and watched it all happen.
Suddenly, the street lamps around Grimmauld Place 11 and 13 lost their light one by one.
"You're boring, Dumbledore. Holly sneered and complained.
"Naturally, there's no Miss Parker, oh, maybe Miss Potter's vacation is comfortable now. A tall figure emerged from the darkness in the distance and walked slowly.
"Oh, don't worry about it. At least, I don't get into trouble right now. ”
"So...... Welcome to the temporary headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, Twelve Grimmauld Place. Dumbledore took a closer look at his surroundings and lowered his voice.
In front of me, between the eleventh and thirteenth houses, a dilapidated looking house suddenly appeared, as if a house had suddenly swelled and squeezed the houses on both sides.
"Come on, I think, it's time to introduce you to most people. Dumbledore said.
Walking up the tattered stone steps, the black paint on the door was peeling off. There are no keyholes, just a silver serpentine knocker.
It's obvious that Slejelin is in style, and it looks like this should be the ancestral home of the Black family...... At least, after being imprisoned more than ten years ago, it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover all the things that were hanging in the name of Siris Black, and this is probably the last place for Blake.
Walking into the foyer, Holly also began to look around at this old house with some history, some dark atmosphere, and all kinds of serpentine decorations.
Shaking his head, Holly didn't understand why these Slejelin followers were in such a style. At least as far as Holly's understanding of Slagelin in the Chamber of Secrets is concerned, Slajelin is quite a person who loves cleanliness, and even his requirements for private space can be called perverted to the extreme.
Dumbledore didn't take Holly to continue wandering around the house, but went straight downstairs to the basement level.
Walking down the narrow stone steps, is the kitchen of the house, and probably the only normal place Holly has seen?
Stone walls all around, of course, were as dim as upstairs, and if there was any source of light, it was probably the fireplace at the end of the room.
There were long wooden tables and chairs in the room, and as Holly walked down the stairs, he could hear the sound of buzzing conversation coming from underground.
When Holly followed Dumbledore and appeared in the dining room, he still saw a lot of familiar faces...... Of course, most people were quite surprised when they saw Holly, and even a few people who had not seen Holly stood up in surprise.
"Ahem. Dumbledore coughed, breaking the silence. "Molly, can you give me a glass of mead?"
"Well, okay. Molly Weasley hurriedly got up from the long table and hurried to the kitchen
"Maybe we'll have to wait a few more minutes. Dumbledore looked at his watch and said. Then he sat down in the middle of the long table.
"No need, I still have something to do, I'll leave right away. A cold voice appeared at the end of the stairs from behind, Severus Snape, barely showing any signs.
"Holly. Snape shouted.
"Hmm. Holly stood up from the empty seat at the end of the long table he had just found.
"Most people will think it will be familiar, okay, let's officially introduce you, Holly Lily Porter Peverell. Snape said to the members of the Order of the Phoenix. "As for his relationship with Harry Potter, I don't think anyone wants to give themselves some trouble. Snape squeezed his throat and threatened everyone in the room.
"Alright, Severus, I don't think anyone will tell anyone about Holly's relationship with Harry. Dumbledore said round.
"Really?" distrustful glances swept over many people.
The stronger ones, such as Alastor Moody, did not react, and the less powerful ones, such as Mongertens, were a radical.
After getting everyone's confirmation, Snape whispered a few words in Dumbledore's ear, then turned to leave again, not forgetting to give Holly a reassuring look before leaving.
After seeing this, Holly also nodded lightly as if nothing had happened.
"Alright...... Severus is telling everyone, and that's what I want to emphasize to everyone......" Dumbledore repeated. "And, Holly, will not join the Order of the Phoenix, nor will it be part of our operations. Invite her over this time ......."
