Chapter 598: Supernumerary Personnel of the Order of the Phoenix
"Do you know where Kyle uses magic?"
Looking at Hermione's reaction, George said with some anger: "Leaky Cauldron Bar, it's unbelievable!" ”
"It can't be!" Hermione blurted out, "I've read in books that the purpose of the trace is to detect the magic reaction in an area, and in a place like the Leaky Cauldron where wizards gather, the Ministry of Magic can't find out who used magic. ”
"But we saw the letters with our own eyes." Fred said.
"And I confirmed it many times, absolutely not mistaken."
"But ......"
Hermione was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Weasley.
"Alright, dear." She led the two to the kitchen, "Anyway, now they're all right, that's enough."
"I think you're all hungry, I made beef pies and roast chicken, and all kinds of jam bread......"
Mr. Weasley didn't come in with them, "Alright, I have to go." ”
"Let's finish our lunch first."
"No, there's still a lot of work to do, and I can't stay away for too long."
With that, Mr. Weasley apparitioned away.
Fred and George were immediately interested, and they also apparitioned, allowing themselves to go from the foyer to the kitchen.
"That's enough, you two." Mrs. Weasley was taken aback and shouted, "You can use magic, but that doesn't mean you have to use magic for everything, and I've said it many times, don't apparilate in the room!" ”
"Okay, Mom!" Fred and George answered, then ran away grinning.
Based on what Kyle knew about the two of them, they probably didn't take this seriously.
During the meal, Professor Moody and Tonks returned, and the group sat around as Mrs. Weasley divided the beef pie and mashed potatoes on everyone's plate.
"So, you're also a member of the Order of the Phoenix?" Tonks said happily that her hair had also turned a bright blonde.
"Actually, I'm not sure." Kyle said that Dumbledore hadn't explicitly told him about it, but that Mr. Weasley had invited him to come, indicating that he had already asked Dumbledore's permission in advance.
So, Kyle wasn't sure if he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, or if he was a temporary worker now?
"It's okay, I think Dumbledore must have thought you're underage." Tonks said, "Just like a few of them." ”
She glanced at the three Harry sitting across from her.
"Wait......" Ron hurriedly said, "Aren't we members of the Order of the Phoenix?" ”
"Of course not." Tonks smiled and said, "Every official member of the Order of the Phoenix has to sign a magical contract, have you ever signed it?" ”
"This ......" Ron and Harry looked at each other, they really hadn't seen any magical contracts.
"You're still students, after all." "But whoever is in this house is trustworthy, and when you graduate, you'll be able to join the Order of the Phoenix," said Lupin. ”
"But that's going to be three years." Ron sighed and poked the mashed potatoes on his plate in frustration.
He thought he had joined the Order of the Phoenix, and he had been excited about it for a long time, only to find that it was an empty joy.
"Don't say that, Remus." Tonks's hair turned a light pink color again, "There are also conditions for entering the Order of the Phoenix, what if their grades are too poor and they don't meet the requirements." ”
"What?" Ron subconsciously said, "Do you still want to look at the results?" ”
"Of course." Moody said in a rough voice: "The Order of the Phoenix is to fight the Death Eaters, what can you do if you are not strong enough, it is better to stay in a safer place than to send them to death." ”
After saying that, he lowered his head and sniffed the beef pie in front of him with his nose, as if to check for poison.
This move displeased Mrs. Weasley.
"Alasto, I made it all with my own hands."
Moody did not speak.
Of course he knows this, but the habit he has maintained for decades is not something that can be changed.
If he didn't check it, he wouldn't eat even what he made himself.
Mrs. Weasley angrily gave him a minimum portion of mashed potatoes, about a small spoonful.
But Moody's himself didn't care.
Everyone was happy to eat the meal, and everyone was cheering for Kyle and Harry.
As everyone started serving their meals, they chatted, and the conversation quickly shifted to Moody and Sirius.
"Will you be going to Hogwarts again this year?" Harry asked, "Continue to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor." ”
"I'm definitely going." Sirius said without thinking, "I dare say that the curse must have expired, and in that case, what is there to worry about." ”
"Great!" Harry said excitedly, but the next second, he jerked his hand over the scar on his forehead.
It's just that everyone's attention was attracted to Sirius and didn't notice it.
"Alasto, what about you." Tonks asked.
Moody hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
After Voldemort's resurrection, he was destined to be very busy, and it would take a lot of time to prepare for Voldemort's sneak attack or investigate the whereabouts of the Death Eaters.
But at the same time, the Hogwarts students' poor Defence Against the Dark Arts also worries him.
After all, they are going to face Voldemort next, and they can't do it without the ability to protect themselves, so he has been hesitating about how to choose recently.
As for Sirius...... Seriously, his strength is very good, but his teaching ability is a bit average, and he can only be regarded as barely qualified.
"Wait." Moody cut a small piece of pie with a knife and put it in his mouth, saying, "Maybe Dumbledore can find a better professor." ”
"I don't think it's likely." Kyle muttered quietly.
While it's unclear what the year will be, the curse shouldn't be over.
And under normal circumstances, no one would want to take this job, and if there was, it must have been him who forcibly grabbed a friend.
Anyway, Dumbledore has a lot of friends, and if he catches one a year, it will definitely be no problem to continue for another fifty or sixty years.
In a cheerful atmosphere, the lunch gradually came to an end.
Tonks and Moody then go back to the Ministry of Magic, and Kyle finds Sirius, who was chatting with Lupin.
"What do you say? Library? ”
"That's right." Kyle nodded, "The Black family has been inherited for so long, there must be a lot of books here, I want to see it." ”
"Well, I'm going to think about it......" Sirius frowned slightly, pondering for a long time, not remembering where the books at home were.
He knew there was a study upstairs, the room his grandfather used to have, and there was probably a wall of books in it, but Kyle certainly didn't want that.
"Kreacher, Kreacher!" Sirius, who had no clue, shouted.
He didn't know, but he wasn't alone.
Soon, Kreacher, the house-elf, appeared in front of him.
"Master Sirius, Master Kyle." The elf bowed down and said, excited, "Do you want to eat raspberry cookies?" ”
"We've already eaten." Sirius said casually, then asked, "Do you know where the books are here...... It's not a study, it's the kind of place like a library. ”
"Of course Kreacher knows." The elf said proudly, "The old master has specially told Kreacher to guard it no matter what, and said that it is the most important wealth of the Black family." ”
Kreacher suddenly began to sob, "Before, Young Master Regulus's favorite thing was to go to the library, and now Master Sirius has finally asked Kreacher as well. ”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Sirius' face.
Seriously, if Kyle hadn't asked, he probably wouldn't have thought of finding where the library was in his life.
But looking at the house-elf's snot and tears, he was really embarrassed to tell the truth.
"Yes, yes." Sirius said with a wandering look in his eyes, "Take us there, we're going to take a look inside." ”
The elf glanced at Kyle, the expression on his face a little struggling and hesitant.
Because someone had told me before that only the people of the Black family could go to that place.
"How."
Because Kreacher hadn't responded, Sirius couldn't help but frown, "Can't we go?" ”
"Absolutely." The elf suddenly made a decision in his heart, "Although Young Master Kyle is not from the Black family, he brought Young Master Regulus back, even if the old master knows, he will definitely agree."
"Kreacher, I'll take you there!"
