Chapter 229: How's It Going?

Snape didn't seem to have slept all night.

Within an hour Hedwig flew back with his reply.

Parsley's inhibitory effect on werewolves was not something that was kept secret, as it had been written in very old potions books - of course, Snape had only seen Harry's letter and remembered that he had read it many years ago.

It's just that the impact is too small.

Ancient wizards found that studying parsley was far less convenient than studying how to cull werewolves.

In modern times, wizards followed the ideas of ancient wizards and focused on culling werewolves.

This is indeed a good research direction.

When the sky is getting brighter, the sun is floating.

Lupin was once again human, and he sat on the ground naked.

Sirius handed him his clothes and comforted him, "Remus, it's okay, it's just the first way. ”

As he spoke, he paused, and then took out his underwear from his pocket: "And it's not completely ineffective, it's just that the effect is not so good, but it's an idea." ”

"Thank you." Lupin said softly as he got dressed, "But I'm not that vulnerable. ”

They went home.

Harry continued to exchange letters with Snape discussing "Wolf Disease".

Hermione provided them with written support - many times, Snape and Harry didn't have as much time to read as Hermione did.

Even during the summer, Professor McGonagall was comfortable handing over the time-turner to Hermioneβ€”the little witch was the person she trusted most in Gryffindor, not even Mr. Potter deserved her trust.

Sirius seems to have a little spring heart, and there have been many messages in the past half month, borrowing Hedwig several times, and making this little girl so angry that when it comes to night, she pecks him in the head.

Forcing Sirius to buy himself an owl.

Harry and Lupin were curious, and when they saw the signature of the letter - "Dumbledore", the two of them immediately lost interest.

Until the end of July.

Harry had finally been with the Dursleys for a month.

They packed up their salutes, and the two kennels were left unattended, and were left behind after being cast a dust-free spell.

"Apparition?" Harry asked, "Or a motorcycle?" ”

"Someone will pick us up later." Sirius rubbed his hands together and put his suitcase down the street, "You can't even imagine what Professor Dumbledore has come up with this summer. ”

Harry was expressionless: "It's not like I didn't see your letter. ”

"Then you wouldn't expect Mr. Dumbledore to ask me what I borrowed." Sirius quickly became excited again.

Harry looked at him, "You only have money now, but Professor Dumbledore is obviously not short of money. ”

"As for the rest"

Lupin also tried to figure it out, and he found that Sirius had little merit other than being rich and a very good friend, and that Dumbledore could borrow something from him.

"Is it your house?" Harry spoke suddenly.

Sirius was stunned for a moment, his expression was dazed: "How did you guess?" ”

"Professor Dumbledore wants to gather people to deal with Senior Tom, looking for those things, and needs a gathering place." Harry explained simply, "No, Hogwarts, that's school. ”

"Neither our home, or someone else's."

"As for Professor Dumbledore. I doubt he still has a home. ”

"Come to think of it, since he opened his mouth to borrow something from you, it's probably Black's old house."

Sirius muttered, "Harry, you're still so sharp. ”

"Here we are." Harry looked up at the sky.

Sirius and Lupin followed suit and followed his gaze, but the sky was empty, and there was nothing, not even the passing owls.

Harry's gaze sank slowly.

On the other side of the road, there was a "bang" and something gently fell to the ground.

The magic overflowed, the aura dissipated, and a royal blue car came into view.

With a "click", Arthur opened the car door, stepped down, and waved at them: "Harry, Sirius, haha, I didn't expect me to pick you up." ”

"Arthur!" Sirius excitedly greeted him, "You're flying in a car?" ”

Harry greeted politely, "Uncle Arthur." ”

After a brief response to Harry, Arthur couldn't wait to show off to Sirius, "Of course, this is the speeding car I told you about, how about it?" ”

"The style is not good." Sirius was embarrassed, "It's a little too old-fashioned. ”

Arthur's eyes were confused: "Style? ”

"Cars, like clothes, come in different styles?"

"Of course!" Sirius looked at him incredulously, "You didn't know about this when you bought the car. ”

Arthur lowered his voice: "I used some slightly dishonorable means to get this car. ”

He noticed that both Harry and Sirius' eyes had become sharp and strange.

"I gave the money." Arthur immediately bit his voice and said it very seriously.

Sirius nodded.

Harry's eyes were still sharp.

Arthur was embarrassed, "I'll admit, I wasn't a little confused about Muggle currency, but I asked the man to count it with me, and I made sure it was okay." ”

They discussed.

The door was pushed open again.

A witch with gray-black hair and a peach-like face struggled to open the door, "Mr. Weasley, you can make it easier next time." ”

"It's too hard to open."

She poked her head over the car, and her eyes were set in a man, and her hair immediately changed color, turning a brilliant and vivid violet. She raised her hand and waved happily, "Professor Remus, long time no see. ”

Sirius reluctantly took his eyes off Arthur, from the old Ford, and fell on the girl.

"Remus, she is." He was surprised, and his tone became distorted.

As Remus Lupin's only remaining best friend, he didn't know that Lupin knew such a cute little girl.

Lupin was about to explain.

Harry took the lead: "This is Nymphadora Tonks, my senior sister, who graduated the summer before I entered the school, and is the Hufflepuff of the year. ”

"Although I haven't met each other, I often hear about her from other people, especially George and Fred."

Tonks tilted his head: "Both of them, mention me?" ”

"The Great Prank Queen! The elusive Boggart! Harry's face was expressionless, and in the tone of George and Fred, he said the words, "A great monument in the history of Hogwarts pranks."

"No, don't say any more." Tonks reached forward and slammed into the car, clutching his head and stomach and covering his feet, "Mr. Potter, stop talking, it's a shame." ”

"George and Fred's language skills really need to be improved." Harry swallowed back the remaining seven or eight words, "But they've never looked at people badly. ”

Tonks was loveless, his hair turning dark green as seaweed: "If you have a chance, let me meet them"

"Uncle Arthur is here." Harry coughed twice, reminding her.

Tonks immediately smiled sweetly: "I will give them some life advice from the senior sister who has graduated for six years." ”

Arthur's eyes became strange.

"I think they probably don't need to." Harry replied softly.

Tonks was stunned.

"Didn't you know they had a shop in Diagon Alley?" Harry asked her rhetorically.

Tonks took a deep breath and looked at Arthur, "That Weasley Brothers Joke Workshop is George and Fred's?" ”

"I think we're the only Weasley in the wizarding world." Arthur had no choice but to spread his hands.

Tonks looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, but really."

The Weasleys are almost insulated from money, and nothing that has to do with the Golden Galleons, or even the Silver Silk, makes one think of "Weasley", even if the joke shop has a bright sign - "Weasley Brothers Joke Workshop".

"I understand, I understand." Arthur nodded and sighed, "Actually, many people can't believe that it was actually made by George and Fred. ”

"Hundreds of Galleons a month."

Tonks clutched his chest, a little painful, he had just graduated six years ago, and had just passed the Auror training to become a full-fledged Auror, receiving a salary of sixty Galleons a month.

Look at the people!

Six years at Hogwarts, before graduating, is now a successful shopkeeper.

"How did you and Remus meet?" Sirius interjected, squinting, scrutinizing Tonks like his father.

Tonks liked this very much, stood upright, and replied obediently: "Remus and I met at the joke shop, the training of the Aurors is boring, I have to have some fun." ”

"Weasley Jokes"

Sirius interrupted her, emphasizing one word: "Brother." ”

"The Weasley Brothers Joke Workshop product is good." Tonks immediately corrected, "And it's very novel, the quality is excellent, I frequented it, came and went, and became acquainted with Remus." ”

Sirius nodded thoughtfully, "And what do you think of Remus?" ”

Tonks' hair turned red all of a sudden, covering his slightly reddened cheeks and ears: "How's that?" He. He has always been very conscientious and patient, and he knows all the industries very well."

"No, I'm not asking about work, I'm asking what you think of other people?" Sirius shook his head violently, "People, it's personality, looks, or something. ”

"Don't worry about his income, don't worry, he has me and Harry, and he is not short of money."

Lupin couldn't hold back, and walked over and pressed Sirius's head: "Okay, Mr. Black, it's not gossip time, shouldn't we leave early?" ”

He looked at Arthur.

Arthur looked serious: "Actually, I also want to know Sirius."

"Mr. Weasley?" Lupin calls out his last name as he did to Sirius.

When someone who used to call you by your name suddenly calls you so formally, it is definitely a precursor to danger.

Arthur didn't hesitate to change his words: "It's not early, we should really leave early, Molly is cooking, and the time is almost right for us to pass." ”
