Chapter 860 Dinner

"Thank you, Ivan!" Mundungus gasped and didn't get up for a long time.

"you are welcome……"

Because he was a little anxious, Ai Wen kicked his foot so hard just now that he didn't slow down for a long time.

You know, apart from magic, Aiwen has been insisting on physical exercise, and has achieved good results.

He didn't want to fail because of lack of physical strength when fighting the dark wizard.

"Fred, George, for heaven's sake!" cried Mrs. Weasley. "There's no need to do this. I've had enough of this. Even if you were allowed to use magic, you wouldn't need to." Do every little thing and wave your magic wand!"

"We're just trying to save a little time!" Fred said as he hurried over, pulling the bread knife out of the table, "I'm sorry, Mundungus, you know, I didn't mean to, I missed the shot... "

Mundungus didn't answer him, and got up cursing.

In addition to him, Crookshanks also expressed dissatisfaction with this.

It hissed angrily, left Ivan's lap, and went under the cupboard like an arrow, where it curled up, its big yellow eyes shining in the darkness, looking faintly at Fu Red and George.

"Boys!" said Mr. Weasley gently, returning the pot of stew to the center of the table, "your mother was right, you two are grown up now, you can't act like you used to, you should behave Show a little sense of responsibility!"

"Your brothers never made a mess like this!" Mrs. Weasley yelled at the twin sons as she slammed another jug ​​of butterbeer on the table, spilling almost as much beer as the first. As much, "Bill doesn't think it's necessary to Apparate in a few steps! Charlie doesn't cast magic on everything! Percy..."

She stopped talking suddenly, held her breath, and gave her husband a panicked look, and Mr. Weasley's expression froze suddenly.

Ivan noticed that Mrs. Weasley's eyes turned red instantly, and tears swirled inside.

"We were wrong, Mom, hurry up and eat," Fred said hastily.

"Yeah, we'll keep an eye on it later, I'm starving, and this stew looks really good," George continued.

The two of them put some stew on a plate and passed it across the table.

This seemed to make Mrs. Weasley feel better, but no one spoke for several minutes.

There was only the clacking of plates and cutlery and the scraping of chairs as everyone sat down to eat.

"Master Irwin, Master Harry, Miss Hermione, try the food that old Kreacher prepared for you."

Shortly after the start, Klee cuts through delicious pies and chicken over, as well as delicious puddings.

This is much more delicious than stew, but there are only three servings for Ivan, Harry, and Hermione, and he prepared it for the three of them separately.

"This house-elf never cooks for us..." Ron muttered, watching Kreacher disappear from behind.

"He is the elf of the Black family, and we have no right to ask him to do anything." Mr. Weasley said, "Sirius is not here, he is half the owner of this house. Besides, Kreacher didn't do nothing, Didn't he clean up the room for you?"

"Yeah, I was taken aback by showing up in the room at three o'clock in the morning," said Ron. "If you can call this tidying up, no one wants to wake up suddenly and see an elf haunting the room." Go sneaking around, I think . . . "

He didn't say anything until Harry gave him some of his share of the pudding.

Kreacher did this a bit too deliberately, but there was no way for others to change his mind, and neither could Ivan.

Anyway, he is much better now than before, at least he can communicate smoothly without causing damage.

As the dinner progressed, the atmosphere at the table gradually relaxed, and everyone began to talk about other topics.

Mrs. Weasley mentioned that there seemed to be something inside the desk in the living room, which kept shaking.

Mr. Weasley thought it was a Boggart, but just to be on the safe side, they were going to have a look when Mad-Eye Moody returned tomorrow.

This house is too old, and the Black family history is not a decent wizard, and there are all kinds of things hidden in the house.

Even if Kreacher has cleaned it up, there are still many places that cannot be taken care of.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Weasley asked Fred and George not to touch those dark magic items that obviously looked dangerous. The twins were trying to sneak some things back to their room for research recently.

On the other side of the table, Ivan was still asking Mundungus about the underground world.

He is interested in the dark fringes of the wizarding world, an area he didn't know much about before.

As an internationally renowned city, the dark side of London is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and its scale is much larger than Ivan expected.

This is the world's largest communication center for magic items, as well as one of the gathering places for wizards.

This sentence is not just a sentence, but is reflected in all aspects, what can be seen and what cannot be seen.

Not only Voldemort and Death Eaters, but also many dark wizards and dark creatures gather here, but they are not known.

These people come from every country, and they can be ordered to do anything as long as they can afford enough Galleons.

Light and darkness always coexist, just like the magic world on the ground, the underground magic world is also rich and colorful.

Across the way, Tonks morphed her nose while eating, to the amusement of Hermione and Ginny.

Each time, she squeezed her eyes shut with the same pained look she had shown in Harry's bedroom.

Her nose suddenly swelled like a bird's beak, and it looked like Snape's nose.

Suddenly it retracted again, becoming the size of a spherical mushroom, and then a large pile of nose hairs emerged from each nostril.

The entertainment was an immediate hit with Hermione and Ginny, who conjured up their favorite noses upon request.

"Create a pig's nose, Tonks," Fred called.

Tonks complied, and the look instantly filled the room with laughter.

Transformation Magus is really convenient, it can change into various appearances as you like, this is an extremely powerful magical ability.

Without using Polyjuice Potion, Tonks can take on the appearance of other people.

However, this deformation is not complete. What changes is only the appearance, not all aspects of the body.

Temporary disguise or muddling through is okay, but long-term camouflage is not enough.

Not to mention the difficulty of learning Metamorphosis Magus, this skill seems to be only innate, and few people learn it the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, compound decoction is still very useful.

These few adventures have also shown the effect of potion, which can be used as a beneficial supplement for spells. Aiwen is going to brew some compound decoction, and even store some fully configured compound decoction for emergencies. He can change the potion at any time. Be someone else, like Harry, Hermione, Sirius, and more.

Perhaps, a few sets of corresponding clothes should be prepared...

Chapter 861 Lupine and the Werewolf

In the middle of dinner, Lupine came back.

He directly apparated in the kitchen, wearing a worn-out robe covered in pudding, with a tired look on his face.

Everyone hurriedly greeted him, he sat between Harry and Ivan, and Mrs. Weasley brought him a set of cutlery.

"Thanks, Molly, I'm starving!" said Lupine, turning to look at Harry carefully. "Harry, how are you? I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up today, I have something urgent to do." Do……"

"I'm fine, you don't have to blame yourself for this," said Harry hastily.

He knew that Professor Lupine had been working for Ivan and the "Hogwarts Magic News" after leaving school.

But he hasn't seen each other for a long time, and now he feels very kind when he sees each other.

"How's it going on with you?" Ivan asked, filling his goblet with butterbeer.

"It's not good, I haven't integrated into it yet, they don't seem to trust me very much, and it will take more time." Lupine said, "When I disappear, it will prove that I am really integrated into them. They live underground, with little communication with the outside world, and by then, you may need a new newspaper editor.”

"It's hard to find an excellent editor-in-chief like you..." Ai Wen said.

"Are you going to do this?" Harry asked.

He heard Ivan talk about what Lupine was doing, and he seemed a little puzzled and worried about it.

Contacting werewolves is very dangerous, why does Lupine have to go?

"They don't believe outsiders. Dumbledore needs a spy, and I happen to have one ready." Lupine said, sounding like he was complaining, and he might have noticed it himself, so he laughed more enthusiastically, "I Not complaining, it's a necessary job, and who better than me for the job? It's just that it's hard to gain their trust. I bear the unmistakable mark of having lived among wizards, who shy away from normal society , living on the fringes, stealing to eat and sometimes killing."

"How could they like Voldemort?"

"Probably thought they'd be better off under him, it's hard to argue with Greyback..."

"Fenrir Greyback?!" Hermione looked at Lupin with wide eyes and said worriedly, "Lupine, are you making contact with him?"

She still had a vivid memory of the werewolf attack a few years ago, and Greyback's brutality also left a deep impression on her heart.

At the sound of Greyback's name, the cheerful chatter in the room stopped abruptly, and all eyes were on Lupine.

Because of the attack on Ivan and Hermione, everyone knows Greyback, the most ferocious werewolf in the world today.

The scary thing about Greyback is that he takes it as his mission to bite and infect as many people as possible. He wants to create a large number of werewolves to defeat wizards, and he also specializes in attacking children and underage wizards. He usually bites when he is young, and then Take them away from their parents and raise them to hate wizards.

The werewolf problem in the wizarding world is largely due to Greyback.

Everyone hates him, including the other werewolves, but is also terribly afraid of him and submits to his brutal rule.

It is also because of Greyback that Lupine became a werewolf, and his hatred for him is even more unforgettable.

"Remus, you talk too much, you shouldn't be telling them these things." Mrs. Weasley said displeased.

"You're right, Molly, can you give me some more bread?" Lupine said gently, noticing the abnormalities around him, "Don't worry, I'll settle all this. By the way, Ivan, you How was the trip to Egypt with Hermione, was everything going well?"

"It went very well, and the harvest was beyond imagination."

During this trip to Egypt, Aiwen achieved his original goal, successfully learned the secret of "Jade Records", and made a breakthrough in alchemy.

Although it's a pity not to be able to venture into the sun ruins, it also avoids danger.

Not to mention, there is also the treasury collection of the goblin Zuo Sai to make up for it, and he got many valuable items.

Because Ivan mentioned the goblin, he had a heated debate with Lupine and Mr. Weasley on this matter.

"I've been in touch with the goblins at Gringotts before, and they're still watertight and won't say anything," said Mr. Weasley. "They probably don't want to take sides or get involved here. In my opinion, I I think those cunning goblins will never fall to the side of the mysterious person, their loss last time was also very heavy, and they will not repeat the same mistakes."

"That depends on what price they offer!" said Lupine. "I'm not talking about gold. Goblins have something more to value. If someone offers them the freedom we have denied them for centuries, They won't be able to resist the temptation."

"Voldemort may use force to force the goblin to obey him. He doesn't have the patience to negotiate with the goblin." Ivan said, "Of course, doing so will definitely cause Gringotts to split..."

"It's bad enough in the turbulent wizarding world." Mr. Weasley said, "Bill is coming back soon, and he's applying for an office job, and he'll be in charge of communicating with the goblins. He can ..."

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the center of the table, drowning out his unfinished words.

Mundungus was telling a joke about his business, and Fred, George, Ron, and Mundungus were laughing in their chairs.

"We don't need to hear you blah blah blah blah blah, Mundungus, thank you very much," said Mrs. Weasley sternly.

"I'm sorry, Molly!" said Mundungus immediately, paying no heed to her warning.

Ron flung himself on the table, laughing loudly.

Fred and George buried their faces in tall glasses of butterbeer, and George hiccupped with laughter.

Mrs. Weasley gave Mr. Weasley a hard look, and got up to bring a large pile of rhubarb crumbs for dessert.

"Molly doesn't approve of Mundungus, she doesn't like her," whispered Mr Weasley, shrugging his shoulders, "I shouldn't have asked him to stay for dinner tonight, Molly thinks I'm going too far No, she hasn't forgiven him for going AWOL while protecting Harry."

"Mundungus is not a good man, but he was loyal to Dumbledore and once helped Dumbledore out of a difficult situation. It is also good to have such a person around, he can hear things we can't hear "Lupine said, "Sirius was very supportive of letting him join the Order of the Phoenix. By the way, Ivan, can I chat with you alone after dinner? I have something to tell you about Greyback ..."

Chapter 862 Dispute

"Greyback?" Ivan also always remembered this werewolf, and he did not forget the fear he and Hermione had brought to him and Hermione.

If he meets Greyback again, Ivan will definitely make him pay enough as a reward for the past.

He used the Corrosive Curse to leave indelible marks on Greyback's face before, but when he encountered it again, it was not just as simple as the Corrosive Curse.

For such a hopeless guy, there is no need to show mercy.

Three servings of rhubarb bread crumbs, followed by custard cakes, and the snacks prepared by Kreacher alone, Ivan quickly got full.

The conversation at the dinner table gradually calmed down. Harry kept stroking his stomach, absently listening to Hermione's stories about his trip to Egypt before, and Mrs. Weasley asked about things related to Bill from time to time.

Ron yawned and stared blankly at the ceiling, while Fred and George whispered together, beside them, Mr. Weasley leaned back in his chair, looking full and satisfied. The appearance of physical and mental relaxation.

Tonks yawned with her mouth open, her nose had returned to normal.

Mundungus was still looking carefully at the silver plate in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

Ginny ushered Crookshanks out from under the cupboard and was sitting cross-legged on the floor, rolling some Butterbeer corks around for Crookshanks to chase after them.

"It's almost time for you to go to bed, don't be too late." Mrs. Weasley yawned and stood up.

"Wait a minute, Harry!" Lupine said suddenly, looking around calmly, "I hope you and Ivan can stay, I'm going to tell you about Voldemort and our current progress..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, so fast, it seemed like a dementor was coming!

A few seconds ago he was relaxed and drowsy, but now he is alert, even tense.
