After a long high-altitude flight, Harry, shivering from the cold, finally arrived at Black's house at 12 Grimmauld Place.

Unlike the last time he came, this time Harry had to read "Order of the Phoenix Command is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London" on a piece of parchment before the house appeared in front of him.

As soon as he entered the house, Harry cautiously looked at the fucking portrait of Black hanging by the porch, for fear that she would make another big noise.

Only this time Harry found that the curtain covering the portrait had been nailed to the wall by a wooden frame larger than the portrait, so he no longer had to worry about someone touching the curtain.

Compared to the damp and slightly rotten smell I had last time I came here, the air in the house is undoubtedly much better now, but the smell of air freshener is slightly heavier.

Harry had barely walked through the porch when he saw a door open next to the porch, and Mrs. Weasley stepped out of the room.

As soon as he saw Mrs. Weasley, most of Harry's original worries disappeared in an instant.

"Oh, Harry, it's such a pleasure to meet you!" Mrs. Weasley said as she walked over to Harry and took him into her arms.

Feeling the warmth of Mrs. Weasley's embrace, Harry, who had fallen to the ground with a boulder in his heart, also reached out and hugged Mrs. Weasley tightly.

"Maybe this is my mother's embrace, which is warm and reassuring." Harry thought to himself.

Before choking Harry's ribs, Mrs. Weasley let go of Harry, and she sensed that Harry was a little different today.

"Harry, you're not hungry, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little before you have dinner." Mrs. Weasley said, "If you're too hungry, I'm going to make you a bowl of instant noodles to cushion your stomach?" Zhang brought us two boxes of instant noodles, and now there are some left. ”

Harry shook his head when he thought that he still had food reserves in his box, and the next moment he noticed Zhang Xu's name.

"Is Zhang here too? Mrs. Weasley? Harry asked.

"Yes, you'll see him later." Mrs. Weasley replied, "But he's injured and not in good spirits. ”

Mrs. Weasley then whispered to the wizards behind Harry, "He just arrived, and the meeting has begun." ”

The wizards happily walked towards the door that Mrs. Weasley had just come out of.

Harry was about to follow the crowd towards the door when Mrs. Weasley stopped him.

"No, Harry, only members of the Order of the Phoenix are allowed to attend. Ron and Hermione are upstairs, you can wait with them until the meeting is over and then we'll have dinner. Mrs. Weasley said to Harry, "I don't have time to explain, I'll tell you where I slept first." Then I'll have to hurry over, I'm supposed to be at the meeting. ”

Harry followed Mrs. Weasley's instructions to the second door on the right side of the second floor, twisted the snake-shaped bedroom doorknob, and walked inside.

As soon as Harry entered the room, he heard a scream, and then Hermione lunged on him, nearly knocking him on his back.

Looking at Hermione holding him, Harry remembered the bloody corpse lying on the fallen leaves in his dream not long ago, and couldn't help but hug her tightly.

After a minute, "Hey, I said buddy, are you running out of time?" Ron's voice rang out from the side.

Hearing Ron's voice, Harry let go of Hermione and walked straight towards Ron, and then hugged Ron in a daze.

"It's great that you're okay," Harry said, "and you haven't answered, and I thought you'd all been caught by Voldemort." ”

Ron in Harry's arms shuddered when he heard the name of the two-hole socket man.

Two minutes later, "Hi, I said buddy, are you running out of time?" This time it was Hermione's voice ringing from the side.

"Are you alright, Harry?" After Harry let Ron go, Hermione asked, "Are you mad at us?" Because we haven't been able to get back to you. ”

When the worries are swept away, complaints and anger follow.

"Why can't you write me back? Even if it's a note. I've been wondering if Voldemort led the men to attack the Burrow and kill you all. Harry shouted loudly.

Hermione and the trembling Ron looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Throughout the summer, only Zhang wrote back to me." Harry said indignantly.

"We'd like to get back to you too, buddy." Ron said, "Hermione was so worried that she kept saying that if you were stuck at your aunt's house and didn't get the slightest news, you would do something stupid." Zhang also said that he should have brought you here earlier, and said that 'it doesn't take so much time to add a buff' and other things that we don't understand. But Professor Dumbledore forbade us to tell you. ”

The enthusiasm and joy of reunion after a long absence was fading, and Harry's resentment for a month was constantly pouring out of his heart.

At the same time that Harry poured bitter water on his friends, in the conference room downstairs, Zhang Xu was also complaining.

"Professor Snape, I suggest again that you follow the form I gave you to record the information on the Mysteries and the Death Eaters." Zhang Xu said after pinching his eyebrows with his right hand.

"Just like you record the process of refining potions, the time, place, people, goals, processes, results, and attitudes of the mysterious people, etc., all of them are clearly recorded, and you can think of every action of the Death Eaters as a potion refining. Otherwise, I won't be able to analyze useful information from your journal as quickly as possible. ”

Opposite Zhang Xu, Snape's pale cold face was a little colder.

Being lectured like this in front of his nemesis, Lupin and Blake, made him very unhappy.

But if you are not happy, you still have to continue to read the report, these are the daily actions of the Death Eaters that he recorded.

After reading the report, Snape said to Zhang Xu with a blank face, "The Dark Lord wants to interview you, Zhang." ”

The members of the Order of the Phoenix in the conference room were taken aback, and everyone looked at Zhang Xu for a while, and Dumbledore for a while sitting at the long table.

"Not available." Zhang Xu waved his right hand and said, "Now I'm so busy that I can't wait to break one person into two, if you want to meet, I'll talk about it after a while." So please help me turn down his invitation, and I'll invite him to Hogsmeade for tea when I have time. ”

The people in the conference room were so calm that even Dumbledore almost broke the quill in his hand.

It's not that Zhang Xu wants to set up a score, but he has been too busy recently, if Dumbledore hadn't personally come forward to ask him to help a while ago, he would still be running around the country now.

"I'll tell the Dark Lord." Snape said with a blank face.

This was the last part of today's meeting, and after the meeting ended, Dumbledore, Snape and the others left directly, while others stayed to eat.

Soon after, Harry and his friends, who had been notified by Mrs. Weasley, came to the restaurant, and Zhang Xu saw that Harry's face was not very good.

"Yo, Harry." Zhang Xu greeted Harry, "Long time no see, how was the holiday?" ”

"Long time no see, Zhang. What happened to your hand? Harry asked in surprise as he looked at Zhang Xu's left hand.

At this time, Zhang Xu's left hand was flat on the table, and Scarlett on the side had just helped him untie the bandage on his hand, his blue and black arm was swollen compared to the normal right hand, and there was an obvious human tooth mark on the forearm.

After disposing of the changed gauze, Scarlet sprinkled a layer of drugged glutinous rice around Zhang Xu's arm, and then helped him bandage his entire left hand.

When Harry saw the glutinous rice touching the blue-black skin of Zhang Xu's left hand, the muscles on Zhang Xu's left hand trembled slightly.

"If you can, you deserve to be injured." Scarlett said in a "cub, grandma is disappointed in you".
