Chapter 58 Slytherin's Locket(1/2)
William was a little surprised when he came to Black's old house again.
It's only just a month, and earth-shaking changes have taken place here.
If it weren't for the square, it was still the same square; the gate was still the same broken gate; the door number was still the same 13... William thought he had gone to the wrong place.
The most obvious change is the foyer.
The giant umbrella stand was gone, replaced with a pear blossom wood umbrella stand, and there were also carpets and shoe stands.
Kliche stood at the door, as if he had rubbed his body for more than a dozen times, and his hair turned white and the hair in his ears was as white as cotton wool.
The temperament instantly transformed from an old scoundrel to an old butler.
Around its neck, there is a Conan red bow wrapped around it...it is obviously Anne's masterpiece.
"Please change your shoes, Miss Anne's stupid brother, and the bad daughter of the next door..."
Kliche was low and hoarse, and brought clean slippers over.
Wait... This is a ghost name!
Hermione raised her eyebrows, grabbed Anne's ponytail, and stared at her and said, "What is the bad daughter of the next door?"
"It's not what I taught!" Annie squeezed her eyes.
Kliche quickly changed his words: "Miss Hermione, and the gentleman next to her."
William was speechless, and he didn't deserve his name?
But this Clice...is a bit strange.
Is this still the house elf who is full of swearing and dirty all over his body?
After taking the slippers, he carefully checked it and found no small traps such as cockroaches.
This house elf took the wrong medicine!
Anne smiled proudly.
Along the corridor, the three of them walked towards the living room. When they passed by the corridor, they were shocked again.
Portrait of Sirius' mother—the ugly squinting old lady, hummed twice and whispered: "Welcome!"
"I can't hear it clearly!" Anne said, "Speak loudly."
"Welcome!!" the old lady shouted.
"Very good, very energetic!" Anne whistled.
William was stunned.
When he was leaving, the old lady had been scolding Mrs. Weasley for a whole day without repeating her swear words.
Is this too fake?
No... the style of painting in this world is wrong, there must be something wrong!
William couldn't help but suspect that he was actually defeated by Voldemort's magic, Infinite Moon Reading.
The more he walked inside, the more surprised William was.
The entire living room is extremely clean and refreshed: the railings of the stairs have a rose-colored luster and the floor is polished shiny.
But there was a noise in the living room. When several people walked in, they found that it was Mrs. Weasley's voice.
She looked like a red wolf, waving a pan angrily.
"No one can change shifts with you, Montongus... It's time for you to be on duty, you can't ask for leave!" she said loudly.
"This is the third time you have asked for a leave this week."
Montongus begged: "My mom is not in good health recently!"
Mrs. Weasley said dissatisfiedly: "Oh, an old lady, every morning, she goes to Diagon Alley to grab vegetables, and her legs are more flexible than me.
Good guy, when you say that your mother will not be in good health!"
The twins, Ginny and Ron, who were sitting on the sofa, laughed.
Luna was there too, but she was dozing off and her head rested on a cat.
Montongus curled his lips and continued, "That really doesn't work. I'll take a sick leave and my stomach hurts!"
"I won't allow it unless you die!" Mrs. Weasley said angrily.
William and Hermione walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Seeing William and Hermione return, everyone was surprised.
"You two are finally back!" Ginny said excitedly.
She jumped up and pulled Hermione to sit next to her.
With Anne, the three girls gathered together and muttered and whispered.
Obviously asking about Vienna and Switzerland.
Fred whistled and looked at William and said, "We both took a rest today, Cedric and Qiu are managing the store."
Lupin is the store manager... but at this time he needs to perform Dumbledore's mission.
Therefore, this summer vacation, there were twins, Cedric and Qiu in shifts.
"What happened?" William said curiously.
"Mongerston wants to take leave," George replied.
"Why not?"
William remembers that Mongston's mission was to secretly protect Harry.
"Every time he is on duty, he has to ask for leave, and it is still several hours." Fred blinked.
“It’s more on time than the alarm clock!”
Mongston heard the twins' joke and shouted: "This is really the last time, I promise!"
"He promises every time, sometimes he even swears."
George wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it.
“…”
"So, what's the real reason for taking leave this time?" William asked.
Ginny leaned over and said, "It seems to be for a stolen crucible..."
"Hey, Miss, it's not stolen, it's picked it up by someone else!" Mongston said with a striking remark.
"The key is good quality and cheap price... those poor potionists can't afford expensive crucibles.
I am also making great contributions to the potion cause of our country.”
Mongston boasted.
Everyone laughed out loud.
"It's all Percy's fault," Mongston complained:
"He insisted that the imported crucibles are too thin and do not meet international standards, and are prone to blowing, resulting in a sharp increase in the price of crucibles..."
Mongston suddenly shut up and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't mention him on purpose."
Percy becomes Fudge's assistant…the Weasleys already know about it.
Obviously, in their eyes, this was a terrible betrayal of Dumbledore.
This is true. Percy and the Weasleys had a fight and moved out of the house.
William was the first to know about Percy and also reminded Dumbledore.
He didn't expect that Percy would show up with his parents directly and even make such a stalemate.
Mongston's apology did not relieve Mrs. Weasley, but instead said even more annoyed:
"Harry must be guarded by someone. If you dare to leave your post without permission, I will definitely tell Dumbledore!"
"Dumbledore is still in Vienna." Mongston muttered.
As the president of the Federation, Dumbledore is indeed busy in Vienna now.
The International Wizards Federation has not yet ended... He is uncertain about being able to come back before the end of the summer vacation.
After all, there are too many things.
However, judging from the news William found out that Umbridge had returned during his trip to Switzerland with Hermione.
Although she was the representative of the United Kingdom, she could not stop Dumbledore, and it was useless to stay there.
At this time, Luna, who had been dozing off with her cat on her pillow, finally woke up.
She suddenly found that William was sitting close to him, and was so frightened that he leaned back, and the cat on his legs flew out directly.
William gently stretched out his hand and pulled the thin cat named "Crazy Girl" in his arms.
