Chapter 459: Unidentified Liquid
Harry shuddered, he had told himself to stay away from Slughorn, he didn't want to be an insect specimen.
"Alright, now grab my arm, I think it's time for us to go to the Burrow. Dumbledore said happily, apparently settling the matter had made him feel much more relaxed.
Both Louis and Harry grabbed Dumbledore's arm, and then with a flurry of vertigo, they came to a country road with the Burrow on the side of the road.
"You can go in, boys. Dumbledore smiled and said, "I still have some things to do, so I won't go in and disturb Molly." ”
Louis and Harry said yes, then walked to the Burrow's door and knocked on it.
"Who is it?" Mrs. Weasley's loud voice came from inside the room, sounding a little wary.
"It's me, Louis, and Harry with me. Louis replied.
The door immediately opened, and Mrs. Weasley gave Louis Harry a big hug, "Oh, dear Harry, Louis, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Dumbledore said don't expect you to be back before morning. ”
Louis glanced around the room, and he saw Tonks sitting a little haggard in a chair drinking tea, his beautiful pink bubble hair drooping, and he didn't look energetic at all.
"I think it's time for me to go," Tonks said, standing up, tugging at the cloak from her shoulder, not at all surprised by the arrival of Louis and Harry, who had never been more boisterous than her Weasley twins. "Thank you for your tea and your compassion, Molly. ”
Looking at Tonks who hurriedly walked out, Louis was very confused, he didn't receive any major incidents, so what was it that struck a member of the Order of the Phoenix like this?
"You sit here, I'll get you some supper. Mrs. Weasley sighed at the departing Tonks.
Louis and Harry sat down on the couch, and Crookshank jumped onto Harry's lap in one fell swoop.
"So, Hermione is here too?" asked Harry.
"She arrived two days ago, everyone is asleep, and you can meet tomorrow morning. Mrs. Weasley was carrying a pot of unidentified liquid, still gurgling.
Louis looked at the pot with a puzzled expression, he's hesitating whether he should find an excuse to get out of here now.
"Would you like some bread, boys?" said Mrs. Weasley, with interest.
"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley. Louis said politely.
Mrs. Weasley waved her wand, and a loaf of bread flew to the table, and the knife automatically cut into slices and coated herself with jam.
"So, you've convinced Horaceslughorn to return to Hogwarts?" Mrs. Weasley had placed the two bowls of soup in front of Louis and Harry.
"Oh, yes. Louis took a sip of the jam-coated bread, intending to wait for Harry to drink the soup first and see how Harry reacted before deciding whether to try it or not.
"He's taught Arthur and me before," Mrs. Weasley asked Harry, "he's been at Hogwarts for a long time, almost like Dumbledore, do you think you like him?"
"I don't like it. Harry said uncertainly, he didn't know if the Weasleys had also received help from Slughorn, and he didn't want to get into trouble with them because of this.
"I know what you mean. Mrs. Weasley nodded approvingly, then looked at Louis, "I think Louis must know Slughorn very well, he is indeed a very good teacher and very good at helping people. However, he has been very busy and has little time to help Arthur, and he seems to think that Arthur is not a good seedling......... Oh, by the way, I don't know if I told you that Arthur was promoted. ”
"Ahem....... It's fantastic. Harry had just taken a sip of the soup before coughing and congratulating him, and even his tears came out of his eyes.
Louis glanced at Harry, who was still coughing there, but he wasn't sure if it was because the soup was so bad or because Mr. Weasley had been promoted.
"He's now the head of the Department for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. Mrs. Weasley said with some pride, as if she thought Harry's tears were flowing because she was moved, "It's a big job, and he already has ten men under him!"
"Now there's a panic everywhere about the return of the mysterious people, and all sorts of strange things are being peddled everywhere, saying that they can defend against you who you know who it is and the Death Eaters. You know, the stuff they're selling is some counterfeit, even dark magic stuff. Arthur told me that there was a man who was wearing an amulet that would get Babts's pus coming out of it!Merlin's beard........ The poor guy was in St. Mungo's Hospital for a whole month. ”
"Is Mr. Weasley still working?" Harry finally stopped coughing.
"yes. To be honest, he's a little late.........." Mrs. Weasley glanced apprehensively at the large clock hanging on the wall, "he said he'd be back at midnight, and that something might be getting in his way." ”
Louis looked at the clock, and he saw that each hand pointed to the box that read "Life Threatening."
As if sensing Louis's doubts, Mrs. Weasley pretended to be light-hearted and said, "It's been like this for a while, and it's been like this since Voldemort came back. I tried to bring it back, but you know, it's not an easy thing to do, and every time I turn it back, he comes back to this block on his own, and I tried a few times and then gave up. ”
Louis glanced at Mrs. Weasley with a complicated expression, the woman in front of him before was not a strong woman, she only hoped that her family could live in peace. But even so, she suppressed her worries and used her supporter, the Order of the Phoenix, to fight Voldemort.
To be honest, Louis had always thought that Mrs. Weasley would ask him for his help and send the family to a foreign country so they could stay away from Voldemort. But even after what had happened to Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley never told Louis about leaving.
Suddenly, Mr. Weasley's pointer jumped to "on the way."
"He's going home soon!" said Mrs. Weasley, surprised.
