Chapter 1234
In fact, it was truly an unforgettable journey from the Vatican Apparition to the Burrow.
If when fleeing for his life, Van Lin didn't feel the passage of time at all, then the journey back made Van Lin doubt himself several times if he could go back.
However, the news that Van Lin received next still made Van Lin have strong self-doubt.
Lupin and George encounter Snape, George loses an ear, and Mundungus abandons Moody, who dies under siege by several Death Eaters.
And, of course, there's the brain of Harry's reconnection with Voldemort, which is definitely not pleasant news.
But the others were able to come back alive, which is definitely a lucky thing.
Hermione, at least, was happy, but after a brief celebration, as Bill and Lupin brought back the body of Mad-Eye Moody, the atmosphere was back at freezing point.
For the next few days, the loss of the Mad-Eye enveloped the house, and in fact, it was Harry's biggest blow.
Sometimes, Harry still wanted to see his figure clumsy through the back door, in and out like any other member of the Order of the Phoenix, carrying news.
Harry felt that nothing could alleviate his guilt and grief but fighting, so he should set out early to complete his mission to find and destroy the Horcruxes.
It was the task that Dumbledore had left him when he was leaving, and everything he did and Ron Van Lin and Hermione had worked on it.
......
"But about that ......," Ron mouthed as a "Horcrux" while he wasn't paying attention, "you can't do anything." Until you're seventeen, you still have that kind of protective magic, and we can plan it here, like somewhere else, can't we?" or," he lowered his voice and whispered, "You think you already know where the mystery is?"
"I don't know," Harry said.
"Still, I think Van Lin and Hermione have done some research," Ron said after a moment's consideration, "and Hermione said that she and Van Lin had already prepared. ”
They sat at the dinner table, Mr. Weasley and Bill had just left home for work, Mrs. Weasley went upstairs to wake up Hermione and Ginny, of course, it would take a little time for Van Lin to get out of bed, and who knows how Van Lin insisted on running back to the Vatican with his apparition, and Fleur had also drifted into the bathroom to take a shower.
"This protective magic will be broken on the 3rd. Harry said, "That means I only need to be here for four days and then I can ......."
"Five days. Ron interrupted him firmly, "We're going to stay here for the wedding, and if we miss it, they'll kill us." ”
Harry understood that "they" meant Fleur and Mrs. Weasley.
"It's a special day," Ron said as Harry thought about the gains and losses.
"Don't they know how important that is?"
"It's because they don't know," said Ron, "they don't have a clue at all, and now that you've mentioned it, I'd like to talk to you about it." ”
Ron glanced hurriedly at the door leading to the hall and saw that Mrs. Weasley still hadn't returned, and then, moving closer to Harry, "Mommy is trying to find out from me what we're going to do with our departure, and you're next, so you're going to hold on." Dad and Lupin both asked us, but when we told Dumbledore that you couldn't tell anyone but us, they gave up, but Mom didn't, and despite that, she was adamant. ”
Ron's prediction came true a few hours later, shortly before lunch, Mrs. Weasley called Harry out of the others to claim a sock that she thought had fallen out of his rucksack, when she took Harry to the small crockery pantry in the kitchen.
"Ron seems to think you four are quitting Hogwarts," she whispered, seemingly nonchalantly.
"Oh...... Well," said Harry, "yes." ”
The ironing machine spun harmoniously in one corner, twisting something that looked like Mr. Weasley's vest.
"May I ask why you are giving up your studies?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Oh, Dumbledore left it to me...... Something to do," Harry muttered, "Ron knows, he wants to go too, and Van Lin and Hermione are in charge of the Order of the Phoenix, and you know ......"
"So, what kind of thing?"
"I'm sorry, I can't ......"
"Well, frankly, I think Arthur and I have a right to know, and I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. Granger and Mr. Al will agree!" Mrs. Weasley said frankly.
Harry was terrified of the words "care about your parents", and he forced himself to look directly into her eyes, and when he did, he noticed that her brown eyes were exactly the same as Ginny's.
He failed.
"Dumbledore doesn't want anyone else to know, Mrs. Weasley, I'm sorry, Ron didn't have to come, there were others, that was their choice......"
"I don't see you having to go!" Mrs. Weasley snapped, throwing down all excuses now, "You're barely an adult, everything you say is, if Dumbledore has a job to do, he has the entire Order of the Phoenix at his disposal! Harry, you must have misunderstood what he meant, maybe he just told you something he wanted to accomplish and you thought he wanted you ......"
"I'm not mistaken," Harry said dryly, "that's me......"
"What?"
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......," Harry said in a panic, taking Mrs. Weasley's sock, and then he handed it back with a golden reed embroidery.
"That's not mine, I'm not a Purton Mill fan. ”
"Oh, of course not," Mrs. Weasley's tired voice suddenly reverted to her casual tone, "I should have realized, then, Harry, since we're still here, you don't mind helping with Bill and Fleur's wedding, do you? ”
"No...... I...... Of course not," Harry said, overwhelmed by the sudden change in subject.
"You're so nice," Mrs. Weasley replied, smiling as she left the pantry.
Harry suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong, but considering that Van Lin would still be some time away from his hospital bed, Harry wasn't too anxious.
From that moment on, Mrs. Weasley kept Harry, Ron, and Hermione busy helping to prepare for the wedding, and they barely had any time to think, the best explanation for this behavior was that Mrs. Weasley wanted to divert their attention from the Mad-Eye and their recent horrific trip, and spent two days constantly doing dishwashing, various color schemes, ribbons and flowers, removing the goblins in the garden, and helping Mrs. Weasley bake a lot of clipfish and toast......
Then, Harry began to suspect her ulterior motives, and all this well-assignedness seemed to separate him, Ron and Hermione, from the first night, when he told them that Voldemort had tortured Ollivander, he had no chance to speak to the two of them alone.
There was also Vanlin, who was physically inconvenient and Hermione was so busy with work that few people but Hermione were able to visit Vanlin who was lying in bed.
In Mrs. Weasley's words, this internal injury is the most difficult to heal, and Madam Pomfrey gave Verlin a quiet rest.
"I think Mom thinks she'll be able to delay your departure if she can stop you from getting together and planning. On the third night after Harry's arrival, Ginny whispered to Harry as they set up their dinner table.
"And did she think about what would happen?" Harry muttered, "and when she left us here to make meat pies, someone else might have killed Voldemort?"
