The Vault Quarters were just a normal residential area, adjacent to another nearby Muggle neighborhood, without even any protective magic.

But that's why it's even more secret in the wizarding world.

As long as the wizards living in the neighborhood use as few spells as possible—especially the underage wizards who still have traces in their wands—then it will be difficult for the outside world to be detected in the Muggle world.

Of course, since wizards have long been accustomed to the convenience of magic spells, it is more difficult to make them completely useless all at once. So...... It's safe, but it's obviously not absolute.

"Ahh I forgot to pick a slightly farther visible spot. ”

Lupin, who had just returned from Beauxbatons, had just made a figure in an alley in the neighborhood, but he only looked left and right, and then shook his head with some annoyance.

Because if something happened before, Sirius was always in charge. It's rare to go out this time, and when you go out, you still remember to run farther away and then phantom, but when you come back, you are a little careless because your head is already full of Beauxbatons's incident.

But before he could think about it, he soon found that the old butler and Willy also appeared behind him.

"Mr. Butler?" Lupin hurriedly turned his head, looked at the two of them and said, "Why can't you-"

"Anyway, this place will be abandoned soon, and the enemy will definitely not appear around here in the near future, so let's take it easy for the time being!"

The old butler waved his hand, and seemed to easily understand what Lupin was about to say. But when you think about it, when everyone was sent to this evacuation community, it was the old housekeeper himself who told them the precautions in advance.

"Alright! That...... Although this is your family's territory, if you need to take a break, why don't you go to the room where I am temporarily staying? Just around the corner in front of me - I'll have to go to Aberforth first, the Sirius guy is going crazy by now. ”

"Hmm...... What do you mean, Miss? ”

Of course, the old butler himself has no opinion, anyway, he will go wherever Willy goes, and protecting Willy's safety is his task, and everything else is fine.

"Me?" Willy shook her head slightly, "I'm not tired yet, so I don't need to rush to rest—Professor Lupin, where are Cathy?" I'd like to meet you first. ”

Lupin knew, of course, that Willy was talking about her friends who had lived in Fort Blois.

"Just across the street from this alley," Lupin pointed out, "there's not much of a place in this neighborhood, and everybody's together—Miss Blois, are you going to go now?" Then I'll take you first! ”

……

As Lupin said, the asylum community is not a big place, and it is easy for everyone to string together the doors. Cathy and Helen, who had lived with Willy for a while at Fort Blois, now live in a large house across the street, living together every day.

After Lupin had led Willy over, he left again, ready to join the meeting between the adults at Aberforth.

But when he got out of the door, and before he could walk a few steps, he heard the door that had just been closed behind him be opened again, and then the old butler walked out of it with a helpless face.

"Mr. Lupin, I'll go with you! Incidentally...... I would also like to tell you about the next arrangements for our Blois family. ”

In fact, as soon as he saw the expression on the old butler's face when he came out, Lu Pin's heart was somewhat counted-this must have been driven out by Willy, who had just reunited with his long-lost friends.

"Oh, of course, please!" Lupin immediately stretched out his hand and invited, "Everyone knows that you are here, and it will be very welcome, and it happens to be lunchtime at this time—Mr. also saw it just now, the food in the house must have been just delivered by Molly, and it is still steaming!" ”

"Well, I'll bother then."

The old butler did not refuse, and nodded in response.

As they spoke, they walked back through the quiet street, and then walked a short walk down the street. Soon, they were on Aberforth's doorstep.

However, as soon as they got closer, the two of them heard Mrs. Weasley's usual loud voice in the room. When Lupin heard this, he finally stopped knocking on the door as if he had thought of something.

"Wait a minute."

After a soft reminder, the old butler retreated to the side of the road with Lupin at his beckoning.

"Mr. Lupin, what's wrong?"

"Well, that's right." Lupin frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Butler must be clear about Percy Weasley's death. In fact, we're keeping this matter from the Weasleys for the time being - please don't mention it in front of them when we get inside. ”

"Oh?" The old butler raised his eyebrows slightly, but he quickly bowed his head slightly, "Is that the case?" I understand. ”

"After all, this is a time of frequent incidents...... In short, Mr. Trouble. ”

Lupin nodded at the old butler as well, and then returned to the door with the other man, and was deeply knocked on the door. After a while, there was a sudden silence inside, and then the door was opened.

"Remus, you're finally back—"

It was Sirius who opened the door for the two of them, and judging by the speed with which he came to open the door, it seemed that he was not far from the door just now.

It's just that after seeing Lupin appear outside the door, Sirius didn't finish his words when he saw the old butler who followed Lupin again.

“…… Blois butler? ”

"Well, Mr. Black, good afternoon!"

Nowadays, very few people call Sirius by his last name, after all, Sirius himself doesn't like this surname at all, so he rarely mentions it to others.

Therefore, after hearing this, Sirius subconsciously paused, but he quickly returned to his usual posture.

"Just call me Sirius...... Come in! ”

Fortunately, the irritability he had when he was fighting with Aberforth just now had been suppressed, otherwise he might not be able to help but lose his temper a little at this time.

Lupin shook his head, then took a step forward, diverted the subject, and led the old butler into the house.

And now, just as Lupin had just said, Mrs. Weasley had brought her lunch with her, and had set up a full table on the table as usual.

The aroma was overflowing, and at Lupin's invitation, the old butler also sat down.
