Located in the northwest of London, England, 12 Grimmauld Place is very busy these days.

After the Burrow was burned to ashes by the Death Eaters, the homeless Weasleys accepted Sirius' invitation and temporarily moved to live in Black's ancestral house - after confirming that the mysterious man had been driven away in this way, the Order of the Phoenix couldn't help but relax their vigilance and chose this place where there were theoretically a few safety risks, and as insurance, the White Wizard Dumbledore also chose to live here temporarily in order to be able to protect Harry himself.

Thankfully, when Kreacher was unable to provide services, the Blakes hired a handy robot to babysitter for them, otherwise Mrs. Weasley alone would not have been able to afford such heavy chores - only Harry, Ginny, and Tonks, who were skilled in housework, could do some of the work for Mrs. Weasley.

Correspondingly, his birthday was just a few days away, and it was a very different thing for Harry, and it should have been the most lively he had ever had in his life.

After entering Hogwarts, and for the rest of his life until his third year, he was almost always alone at Four Privet Road to celebrate his birthday, and the Dursleys would give him clothes hooks and old socks as gifts, and it wasn't until he later met Alan and Flegg that he began to have some normal children's birthday experiences. It wasn't until I met Sirius after the third grade, and then my birthday was basically spent by my godfather with my godson, and although I was much happier than when I was a child, it was still very rare for so many people to get together like this year.

But in the past few days, in this Black family's ancestral home, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who kept coming and going, so that Harry kept hearing the news of the arrested members of the Order of the Phoenix who were being treated in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, and Harry only felt that his heart was heavy, and he was overwhelmed by unspeakable sadness and guilt.

This morning, Harry walked into the kitchen in the basement with heavy steps, surrounded by rough stone walls, with a fireplace at the farthest point, tin cans hanging from the ceiling, and a table and chairs that could seat many people. Mr. Weasley's family was already sitting on it.

Harry looked at the smiling faces that beckoned him to take his seat, and lowered his head, only to feel a little sour in the corners of his eyes, the Burrow that had brought him all these years had burned to the ground, and Mr. Weasley's family had to live in Sirius temporarily—and it was all for him.

"Be careful, Harry. George moved a chair in front of Harry, avoiding Harry's knee and the chair.

"Oh, thank you George..."Harry's gaze involuntarily glanced at the black hole on the side of George's head, thanks to Mrs. Weasley's careful care, George's wound had become smooth and smooth, but Harry was still not used to it, although the twin brothers made a lot of jokes about it, "I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to tell him once a day... And now no one is going to get us wrong. Fred shook his wand, "George, you shouldn't stop me, we're not all the same, it's a lot less fun." ”

George held the wand in Fred's hand: "If you do this, I think Angelina may cut off my other ear as well." ”

Harry's heart also sank, he remembered that he had seen Fred in front of the mirror in front of his ear in the past few days, he thought he was just feeling sorry for George, but now he realized that the other party wanted to follow George's appearance and give his own ear a little bit...

Arthur Weasley, who had fully healed from his injuries from the torture curse, turned around nimbly, "It's not funny, Fred. Arthur stared at his twin son for a long time, thinking that this son might have done such a stupid thing. "If you bring it up again, I'll tell your mom about it and let Molly deal with you. ”

Fred whispered a little nervously and perfunctorily, "I was wrong Dad." ”

It didn't take long for the tables to fill up on both sides of the table, as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, because of the need to study things, there were often members of the Order of the Phoenix to eat, Sirius absentmindedly leaned back in his chair and watched Lupin help Molly and Tonks bring their breakfast to the table from the kitchen adjacent to the diner.

"Ginny, help me get this to Dumbledore, he's probably lost his mind again... Don't bother him, just let him in. Molly served a lot of toffee finger cakes on a plate, a similar food to chocolate muffins, but with toffee on the inside and crispy.

Ginny across the table took it, "He doesn't seem to be in good spirits lately... Too, I didn't think she loved to read so much..."

"Ginny is bothering you, just put it on the table," Dumbledore's voice came as he walked into the basement, "I'm sorry, Molly, I've been living up to your delicious food these days. ”

"You should rest more, you look too tired... But it was just in time for Albus, Secretary Ron Harris would not be accommodating," Ginsley Shackle's deep voice sounded, "but they didn't suffer, they were only restricted in prison. ”

"This time, because of Wizard TV, the cause and effect of this operation are clear to everyone... It's impossible for the Ministry of Magic to favor us in the Order of the Phoenix..."Lupin's brows furrowed, "Our actions this time have indeed violated the law of secrecy, making the Ministry of Magic very passive in front of the International Federation of Wizards..."

"Pure-blood families... including some of my own relatives in the Shackle—" Kingsley rubbed his forehead, "In Alan Brown," he said. After Harris defeated the mystery man so strongly, there was also a split in internal opinions, some people thought that Harris was already unstoppable and planned to surrender, they thought that if they couldn't stop Harris from teaching, then it would be better to directly support his actions, and strive to catch up with this reform as soon as possible, minimize losses and ensure their own status, while some people were a little hysterical under despair, you saw what they said in the magazine, in this kind of situation where Harris had just defeated the prestige of the mystery man, trying to use the umbrella to buy Hogsmeade is to attack for the innocuous reason of squeezing the wealth of wizards...”

"They supported me first, then I failed, then some people tried to put their expectations on Tom, and now Tom has failed... They don't know how to stop Harris's reform now, but they're not convinced..."Dumbledore sighed, "It's not just the umbrella... I just received word from the centaurs that some wizards told them that the Hogwarts Reformation would impress their survival and ask me about it... The pure-blood families seem to be trying to cause more trouble for Alan by inciting the non-human race against Hogwarts. ”

"Most of the people in the Order of the Phoenix can have their sentences commuted, except for the mad-eyed man, they will really squat for a while..."Sirius's voice sounded suddenly.

For a moment, everyone stopped eating and looked at Sirius.

"Harris invited me to take up a position at the Ministry of Magic, and I took the opportunity to offer this condition that the arrested members of the Order of the Phoenix receive a reduction in their sentences. Sirius spread his hands and said lightly, "But the mad-eyed man's mouth is too smelly, and they won't." ”

Harry only felt that the bacon in his mouth was hard to swallow, how could a freedom-loving man like Sirius be bound by the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Magic.

"It's okay Harry, I'm going to that Magical Creature Management and Control Division managed by Josephine Harris... Coincidentally, I just happened to choose the centaur office..."Sirius looked at a depressed Harry and said freely, "No centaur will use this service, so the work is very idle, in fact, as is customary, if someone from the Ministry of Magic is sent to this department, then he is not far from being fired..."

"But Sirius, I don't think there's any coincidence in Harris right now," Kingsley shook his head, "and they've allowed purebloods to attack them when it comes to enriching them... I'm worried that these pure-blood families will further make their reputations even more stinky, and I've heard from my former students that Harris is actually looking into some of the family's innocuous incriminating evidence... I don't understand why both of them would use this stuff to rip it out. ”

"Uh-huh-cough-a-hmm," Ron interrupted the group with a strange noise, frowning and spitting out the chicken in his mouth, "Hmm... Mom, this piece of chicken is still bloody. ”

The brother's unruly appearance made Ginny lean towards Harry in disgust.

"You should eat my portion. Bill still had a few hideous scars on his face, and he swapped his untouched plate with Ron, "Meat is more juicy and delicious when it's raw, and I've been loving it lately." Bill was keenly aware of Harry's clenching of the knife in his hand and said nonchalantly, "The wolf poison potion developed by the Umbrella Company is very effective, I won't become a werewolf, except that I just changed the taste of my diet." ”

"And Harry, the Burrow's problems are actually Fred and I's responsibility, and the two of us made a special flower for the mystery man to him off. George was annoyed by Harry's mother-in-law, so he took the opportunity to persuade him.

"It's a cause for celebration that no one has actually left us because of this, and in fact, if it weren't for the carelessness of the therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital, Professor McGonagall I think she would have been discharged.," Arthur raised his glass to Harry.

"Harry, what is the purpose of living?" Dumbledore's kind voice softly came out of his mouth, noticing Harry's confused eyes, he smiled, "What I want to express is... I mean, if I just look back and can't see the future, it's the consequences that make us who we are today, and we're living in the consequences, you know?"
