Chapter 917 (1/2)
Sirius and lupin sent Harry a wonderful set of books called examples of defense magic and for defense against the dark arts. They had gorgeous covers and colorful activity diagrams of all the magic and magic things that Harry eagerly flipped over, full of crumbs of old bread and moldy cheese. In the far corner, some small items and coins were flashing, and Harry guessed that it was kretcher's collection.
Some of them were thrown away by Sirius when he cleaned the house, and even recovered the silver framed picture of family members that Sirius threw away at the end of the summer. The glass of the frame may have broken, but the black-and-white people in the picture still look at him haughtily. In the photo, there was - he had seen the dark, hat wearing one in Dumbledore's memory Our woman: Bellatrix Lestrange.
It seems that her photo is one of kretcher's favorite. He put it in front of all the other photos and clumsily magically repaired the glass on the frame.
Vaseline took the first step in and looked at kretcher's room. There were too many things in his room. Moreover, it was disorganized. Maybe
Kretcher is not here at all. No one knows where he has gone.
”I think I'll just leave the gift here,” Hermione put the parcel in the hollow between the rag and the blanket, then pulled vaseline and gently closed the door. ”Later, he'll see it. That's good.”
After they closed the cupboard door, Sirius suddenly appeared in front of the cabinet carrying a Turkey: ”think about it, who has seen kretcher recently?”
”I haven't seen him since we came back that night,” Harry said. ”You order him to leave the kitchen.”
”Yes,” Sirius frowned. ”I think it was the last time I saw him. He must be hiding somewhere upstairs.”
”Can't he have left here?” Harry said, ”I mean, when you say 'go out', does he think you're asking him to leave the room?”
”No, it won't. the house elves can't leave the house until they get their clothes. They are one with the family house to which they belong. ” Said Sirius.
”If they really want to leave, they can leave.” Harry objected. ”Dobby did it. He left Malfoy garden two years ago to warn me. After that, he had to punish himself, but he did
Sirius looked a little flustered for a moment, and then he said, ”I'll look for him later. I hope I'll find him upstairs, crying over my mother's old knickers or something. Of course, he could have crawled into the drying cupboard and died. But I will not give up hope. ”
Fred, George and Ron all laughed; but Hermione was serious.
After Christmas lunch, the Weasleys, Harry, Fanling and Hermione began to plan to visit Mr. Weasley under the escort of mad eye and lupin.
Because the subway is not open on Christmas day, Moody's ”borrowed” a car. Not everyone can be illusory, especially when Harry is under age.
When moody arrived, it was just in time for the Christmas pudding to arrive. Harry suspected that the car had been ”borrowed” without the owner's consent.
The car, like the old Weasley Ford, has been enchanted with magnification. Although it looks like an ordinary car, it can actually make ten people and one moody as the driver sit comfortably. Mrs. Weasley hesitated before getting into the car - everyone knows she doesn't approve of magic travel.
But in the end, unable to resist the cold outside and the persuasion of her children, she finally entered the back seat and sat down gracefully between Fred and Ginny. Because there were few vehicles on the road, it took them a short time to get to the St. Mungo magic hospital.
A few witches and witches are quietly passing a deserted path to the hospital. Van Lin got out of the car in Muggle clothes, and moody drove to the corner to wait for them to come back.
They sauntered toward a window with a doll on a green nylon shelf. Then, one by one, they crossed the grass. The reception desk seems to be full of festive colors: crystal balls illuminating St. Mungo are painted with red and gold colors, and lively Christmas trinkets can be seen everywhere. There are holly trees hanging at each door, gorgeous Christmas trees covered with magic snow, icicles shining in every corner, and a shining Venus at the top of each icicle.
It wasn't as crowded as they had been last time, and though halfway through the room, Harry found himself only sidetracked by a wizard who had stuffed his left nostril with a seedless tangerine.
