Chapter 786 The Seventh Horcrux
Chapter 786 The Fourth Horcrux
When he came to Black's old house again, William was a little surprised.
It's only been a short month, and earth-shaking changes have taken place here.
If it's not the square, it's still the same square; the gate is still the broken gate; the house number is still the same 13... William thought he had gone to the wrong place.
The most obvious change is the foyer.
The giant umbrella stand is gone, replaced by a pear wood umbrella stand, and there are extra carpets and shoe racks.
Kreacher stood at the door, his body seemed to have been rubbed a dozen times, and he was a little pale, and the hair in his ears was as white and fluffy as cotton wool.
That demeanor instantly changed from an old rascal to an old noble butler.
Around its neck, there is also a Conan red bow... It is obviously Annie's masterpiece.
"Please change your shoes, Miss Anne's silly brother, and the bad daughter of the next door..."
Kreacher was low and hoarse, and brought over the clean slippers.
Wait... that's a ghost name!
Hermione raised her eyebrows, grabbed Anne's ponytail, glared at her and said, "What is the bad girl next door?"
"I didn't teach it!" Annie rolled her eyes.
Kreacher quickly changed his words: "Miss Hermione, and the gentleman next to her."
William was speechless for a moment, so he doesn't deserve to have a name as a co-author?
But this Kreacher...is a bit strange.
Is this still the foul-mouthed, messy house-elf?
After he took the slippers, he checked them carefully, and found no small traps such as cockroaches.
This house elf took some wrong medicine!
Annie smiled smugly.
Along the corridor, the three of them walked towards the living room, and when they passed the corridor, they were shocked again.
A portrait of Sirius' mother—the ugly squinting old lady, humming twice and whispering, "Welcome!"
"Can't hear you!" said Annie. "Louder."
"Welcome!!" the old lady roared.
"Very good, very energetic!" Annie whistled.
William froze.
When he was leaving, the old lady was the kind who had been arguing with Mrs. Weasley all day, swearing without repetition.
This is too fake, right?
No... The painting style of this world is wrong, there must be something wrong!
William couldn't help but suspect that he was actually under Voldemort's magic, Infinite Moon Reading.
The more he walked in, the more surprised William became.
The whole living room was immaculately clean and new: the banisters of the stairs were polished to a rose-colored sheen, and the floors were polished.
But there was a noise from the living room, and when several people walked in, they found that it was Mrs. Weasley's voice.
She was like a red wolf, waving a frying pan angrily.
"No one can change shifts with you, Mundungus... it's your turn to be on duty, you can't ask for leave!" she said loudly.
"This is already the third time you have asked for leave this week."
Mundungus pleaded: "My mother is not in good health recently!"
Mrs. Weasley said dissatisfied: "What a good old lady, she goes to Diagon Alley to grab vegetables every morning, and her legs and feet are faster than mine.
Good guy, your mother's health will not be better if you put it in your mouth! "
The twins, Ginny and Ron, who were sitting on the sofa, all laughed.
Luna was there too, but dozing off with her head resting on a cat.
Mundungus curled his lips, and continued: "That's really impossible, I'm on sick leave, my stomach hurts!"
"Unless you're dead, I won't allow it!" said Mrs. Weasley angrily.
William and Hermione walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Seeing that William and Hermione had returned, several people were a little surprised.
"You two are finally back!" Ginny said excitedly.
She jumped up and pulled Hermione to sit down beside her.
Along with Annie, the three girls gathered together, whispering and whispering.
Apparently asking about Vienna and Switzerland.
Fred whistled, looked at William and said, "Today we two take turns off, and Cedric and Qiu are managing the store."
Lupine is the store manager... but at this time he needs to carry out Dumbledore's task.
So this summer vacation, the twins, Cedric and Qiu are all on shifts.
"What happened?" William asked curiously.
"Mundungus would like to ask for leave," George replied.
"Why not?"
William remembered that Mundungus' mission was to secretly protect Harry.
"Every time he is on duty, he has to ask for leave for several hours." Fred blinked.
"Better on time than the alarm clock!"
Mongleston heard the twins' teasing, and said loudly: "This is really the last time, I promise!"
"He promises every time, and sometimes swears."
George was quiet, but everyone could hear him.
"..."
"So, what is the real reason for this leave?" William asked.
Ginny probed and said, "Looks like it's for a batch of stolen cauldrons..."
"Hey, miss, it wasn't stolen, it was picked up by someone else!" Mundungus said plausibly.
"The key is that the quality is good and the price is cheap...those poor magic pharmacists can't afford expensive crucibles.
I am also making great contributions to the potion cause of our country. "
Mundungus boasted.
Everyone laughed out loud.
"Speaking of which, it's not all Percy's fault." Mundungus complained:
"He insisted that the imported crucible is too thin, does not meet international standards, and is easy to explode, causing the price of the crucible to skyrocket..."
Mundungus suddenly shut up, he said awkwardly: "Sorry Jasmine, I didn't mean to mention him."
Percy became Fudge's assistant... Mr. and Mrs. Weasley already knew about it.
In their eyes, this was a terrible betrayal of Dumbledore.
The same is true, Percy and the Weasleys had a fight and moved out of the house.
William was the first to know about Percy and reminded Dumbledore.
He also didn't expect that Percy would have a showdown with his parents directly, and the quarrel would be so deadlocked.
Mundungus' apology did not relieve Mrs. Weasley, but was even more annoyed:
"Harry must be guarded. If you dare to leave your post without authorization, I will definitely tell Dumbledore!"
"Dumbledore is still in Vienna." Mundungus muttered.
As the president of the Federation, Dumbledore is indeed busy in Vienna now.
The International Federation of Wizards Conference is not completely over yet... Whether he can come back before the end of the summer vacation is still uncertain.
After all, there are too many things.
However, according to William's snooping, Umbridge had already returned while he and Hermione were in Switzerland.
Although she was the representative of Great Britain, she couldn't stop Dumbledore, and it was useless to stay there.
At this time, Luna, who had been dozing off with her head on the cat, finally woke up.
She suddenly found that William was sitting very close to him, his body leaned back in fright, and the cat on his lap flew straight out.
William gently stretched out his hand and pulled the skinny cat named "Crazy Girl" into his arms.
Mrs. Norris and Bobocha had a litter of cats, one of which was given to Luna.
However, they were all born in the same litter, and the other orange cats were all fat, but Luna's cat was very thin...and she named her Crazy Girl.
Luna's nickname is Crazy Girl, she likes this nickname very much, she also named her cat by this name.
Well, I can only say that this style of naming is worthy of Luna.
After seeing William, Luna blinked her gray eyes and asked:
"Hey William, did you find the Snork in Switzerland?"
This is a legendary magical creature that only Luna believes in. William spread his hands and said with a smile:
"Not found, maybe in Holland. But the giant was found."
Everyone pricked up their ears.
"Is it Jungfraujoch in the Alps?" Ron stammered.
"It was said in the newspaper that you and Hermione brought down the mountain..."
"Well, almost, I didn't mean to." William said.
Ron took a breath.
"Did the Giant Monster of the North Sea chase him there?" Ginny asked curiously.
"The newspaper said that you and the North Sea giant monster fought all the way to Switzerland."
"That's bullshit." William shrugged.
"I don't know where the giant monster of the North Sea went... I just fought with a giant."
Everyone asked eagerly.
William briefly described the events in Switzerland, but did not mention Hagrid and Maxim.
For a while, everyone didn't care about Mengston, because the adventure story of William and Hermione sounded more exciting.
At noon, Kreacher was cooking. He tried his best to cook a delicious lunch.
This made everyone have a good impression of this house elf.
But everyone could see that Kreacher was just listening to Annie.
The attitude towards others is still very average, but not as bad as before.
After eating, William ignored Ron's eyes that wanted to continue listening to the story, followed Kreacher, and walked upstairs.
He came to Black's old house today just for Slytherin's locket.
After the diary, the Ravenclaw diadem, the Slytherin ring... the fourth Horcrux... finally found!
