Remus?" Tonks threw away the oyster shell in his hand and stood up in surprise.

"You've come just in time. Sirius didn't notice his friend's tone, the oyster meat in his mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, and he held up a piece of oyster and muttered, "Some?"

"You—" Lupin was stunned as he looked at the room with far more people than he had imagined, "you..."

Alan stopped Ankara, who was frightened and ready to attack, and he was also a little confused: "Remus?

Behind Lupin, Harry, Ginny, and Ron also appeared in the doorway breathlessly, seeing the crowd in the room, a table full of oyster shells, and house-elves who tilted their heads to look at the intruders suspiciously......

"Don't you know how to knock on the door?" I said there should be a few people guarding the door..."Penelope was very unhappy with the way the other party broke in, thinking that it was a loss of face for Harris.

"Woohoo. —Luna continued to eat, regardless of what was happening.

Realizing that he had made a fuss, misunderstood Sirius and Tonks, and misled Tonks' husband Lupin, the three Gryffindors who had just entered the door froze there, and Harry's anger dissipated in an instant like a popped balloon, and he stood there in a daze, looking a little helpless; Ginny's face was so red that he didn't dare to raise his head; Ron stood there, as if he couldn't speak, his left hand kept pulling at his ear, and his face turned the color of pig's liver.

Glancing back at the Gryffindor cubs that he had just described to him so vividly, Lupin shuddered and realized that he had been pitted, and that there was a misunderstanding when he heard the sound of them eating just now - noticing the stares cast by everyone, Lupin maintained a serious expression and began to look a little strange, forcing himself to look a little cold.

Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Hermione tentatively asked, "Remus, are you so angry? I mean... Did Tonks do anything?"

"Remus?" Tonks, though inexplicable, had never seen her husband like this, and she was a little intimidated, thinking that she had really made some mistakes.

Ginny's face flushed, she didn't know how to tell everyone, she had misunderstood Lupin about something she had made up her brain and now seemed to have never happened, and she pulled Harry to try to get help from her boyfriend - Harry was also a little trembling, he didn't know how his godfather would react to knowing about his 'righteous killing'.

Ron seemed to want to speak, but Lupin, who noticed this, stopped him with his eyes, and Remus froze as he maintained his rigidity—Lupin's eyes lit up as he glanced at the oysters in the increasingly heavy atmosphere of the room, and he kept his voice rigid as if he were forcing himself to admit an unpleasant thing, "Tonks is pregnant." ”

"Oh, that's great!"

"Awesome!"

"Congratulations. ”

Tonks screamed, "Remus, didn't we say we should not tell the others yet?"

"But you're pregnant and you're eating raw seafood!I have to!" Lupin said, his tone was resolute and almost indifferent, "This oyster is raw!" (you can refer to Hell's Kitchen Gordon Ramsay found out that the contestant made scallops, and was complained by a pregnant female customer about what it looked like after it was raw~)

"Bang bang bang!"

There was another knock on the door of the private meeting room.

Rufus Scrimgeour, head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, suddenly appeared in the doorway, his brown hair and thick eyebrows interspersed with gray that made him instantly recognizable.

Although he was not invited, Scrimgeour bowed slightly to apologize, and walked straight in, the sharp eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses swept over the bodies of everyone in the room, "It's rude, sorry to disturb you, but Mr. Alan Harris, I have some ideas that I have to talk to you about alone." ”

"Then let's go out first. Lupin hurriedly took the opportunity to say that he walked out with Tonks and Sirius, who also felt that they were at a loss now, and the children who knew the truth and didn't dare to say it, and they were all a little embarrassed to stay in it longer.

"Mr. Scrimgeour has come out of nowhere, do you have any advice?" As Alan just finished speaking, there was a "pop" of the door, and the door of the room was closed again.

Scrimgeour's thick eyebrows furrowed, and his sharp gaze swept over Hermione and Penelope and Luna, who was eating oysters, and said directly, "Excuse me, Mr. Harris, if I can, I would like to talk to you alone?"

"Who do you think you're talking to?!!!" Penelope straightened up, wand appearing on her hand behind her back at some point, "I don't remember we allowed you in." ”

"Since Mr. Scrimgeour is here today for my brother's wedding... Then it doesn't hurt to listen to it. Alan patted Penelope to soothe, "But I don't think there's anything to avoid them talking about." ”

"It's better to keep business and private separate, Mr. Harris—" Scrimgeour insisted, the look that made him look like an old lion, and as if he realized that he was being rude, he quickly added, "I'm sorry, I mean, the topic I'm going to talk to you about is not for a little girl..."

"I think you've got one thing wrong, Mr. Scrimgeour. Hermione retorted coldly, "We're not little girls. ”

"I know you, Miss Granger, please forgive me for the wording... What I want to talk about is guaranteed not to involve any commercial business... It's just that I don't think it's appropriate for you to hear about this matter to be discussed with Mr. Harris, and I think it's better for the ladies to go out and wait for a while. Scrimgeour's gaze swept over Penelope's wand, "It's a waste of time, Auror Crimeat, please focus on the big picture." ”

"That's enough! this isn't the Auror office!" Penelope sneered, "Besides, you can't command me!"

Alan put Ankka on his lap and hugged it to soothe it, which sensed the tension, and said bluntly: "Mr. Scrimgeur, on this occasion today, either say so, or please come back." ”

Scrimgeur's brow furrowed even tighter: "Mr. Harris, the information I'm going to talk about next is very important. ”

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Allen's indifferent voice choked Scrimgeur's words in his throat.

Penelope raised his chin and said, "I didn't arrange for you to meet in the first place." ”

Scrimgeour suppressed his temper and glanced at the Auror, then nodded helplessly and said, "Well, since you insist, but I still ask you to think about it, Mr. Harris, at least... At least let Miss Lovegood avoid it first. Scrimgeour pointed to Luna, whom he had investigated all the people around Allen, who was as insane as her father and looked unreliable, and he feared that the crazy girl would inadvertently leak her mouth.

"You say yours, I'm eating, I'm not listening. Luna sucked the oyster in her hand into her mouth without raising her head.

"Alright, let's talk about it then..."Scrimgeur's cold, scrutinizing gaze swept over the three of Luna, and after a heavy sigh he seemed to give in, and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Harris... You know, the situation abroad has been very unstable lately, the Death Eaters are constantly moving, and from time to time some pure-blood families and shops are looted, the situation is serious, and the magical community is panicked and the losses are serious..."

"If that's what you're talking about... Then Director Scrimgeour you can go back. Penelope snorted disdainfully, "I don't think I can know this information without calling the Ministry of Magic's internal intelligence." ”

Scrimgeour seemed to be annoyed by Penelope's attitude, but he still suppressed his emotions, "Miss Crivat, please let us put aside the contradictions in the office for the time being, and don't bring them here..." Do you know what that means?"
