94 Diagon Alley

Der pulled back the curtain and walked in, "Also, to answer your question, Gwen. No one knows what's going on with Harry—high secrecy."

Gwen shrugged, "Well, maybe I should say hello to Sirius."

George shook his head, "We haven't been home for days, business is so busy, Fred and I slept in the little suite upstairs in the joke shop—"

"—and Mom and Dad have moved back to the Burrow." Fred snatched the last piece of ham quickly, "I guess it's just..." He didn't continue.

Gwen looked at George, he whispered to Gwen that Diagon Alley was not safe, since the mass escape in Azkaban, they always saw suspicious figures around here. "Even Burns is missing now."

The twins sighed.

Gwen thought for a while before she thought about it, "Amelia Burns?" , thanks to her for the last trial about Harry..."

"And Sirius' verdict," Fred said. "Me and George used to think they were—er—"

"It's not good news to be missing now." George interrupted his brother's unreliable speculation. "Think of Bertha Jorkins who disappeared two years ago."

The more Gwen thought about it, the more terrifying she became, "If you're implying that it was that person who had attacked Ms. Burns, she's a high-ranking official at the Ministry of Magic..."

"That's why we say it's not safe." George nodded.

"Come on, George." Fred was also a little irritable. "There's no safe place right now. No one has a smile on their face."

"Yeah," Gwen tapped with her wand on what she had brought, and the dishes were automatically packed and lined up to jump into the package. "I saw Tonks on duty nearby the other day and she looked terrible and thought it was her fault for Sirius' death."

"That's ridiculous," Fred said.

"How did she come to that conclusion?" George asked.

"Well, she was dealing with Bellatrix Lestrange, and she probably thought that if she could kill Bellatrix, she wouldn't Killing Sirius." Gwen scratched his hair, then seemed to have thought of something, "Tonks said Mrs. Weasley often invited her as a guest. Do you wish Bill could fall in love with Tonks? Mine? I mean, it's great."

Fred and George looked at each other, looking like they were holding back their laughter.

Bewildered by their appearance, Gwen thinks of the strange weather recently, the escaping Azkaban criminal, and the vanishing Ms. Burns, only to feel a sharp lump in her stomach The big stone fell terribly.

On the twelfth day of summer vacation, early in the morning, a common owl from Hogwarts sent a letter to Gwen.

"Miss Ollivander,

I sincerely ask you to do our furry friend a small favor and take care of his cubs. P.S. Another friend with nice hair will pick you up.

A.P.W.B.D.”

With just a short note, Gwen turned it over and over two or three times. Until Garrick reluctantly wiped the wand box in the shop.

"I was invited to the old place." Gwen raised the letter in his hand. "But why me? Molly should be willing to..."

"That means they think you have an irreplaceable role." Garrick said without doubt, tapped Gwen's luggage with his wand and piled it to the door.

"Do you know something?" Gwen looked at the old man suspiciously, "You've been going to kick me out since the holidays, Garrick."

Mr. Ollivander again shook his head and ignored his little granddaughter, "Ah!" he said cheerfully, "here she is!"

With the creaking of the door of the old wand shop, a young witch walked in, almost tripping over the threshold. Her heart-shaped face was pale and her hair was taupe.

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander," she said. "Hello, Gwen."

Gwen was a little surprised, "Hello, Tonks." Gwen felt that her expression was haggard, even a little morbid, and there was some reluctance in her smile. Her hair was no longer the usual bubblegum pink, which certainly made her look a lot less impressive.

"We have to go," she said hastily, wrapping her cloak around Gwen's shoulders and quickly shrinking Gwen's suitcase, "do I need to… give you some time to say goodbye? ?"

Gwen didn't understand what she meant, "I'm only going to stay for one night, right?" She understood that it was a full moon night. "So I'll be back tomorrow, oh, I have to leave a message for George." She called twice into her own retractable ear.

"Of course, of course." Tonks looked around nervously.

Gwen was still complaining, "I don't understand why they asked you to come here, I actually passed my Apparition exam—"

"—Three exams to pass." Garrick didn't save her face, "You know how dangerous splitting is, and you still have a month to come of age." Then the old man's silvery white eyes A little muddy, he wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. He hugged Gwen softly and stroked her head as if Gwen was a child.

"Goodbye, Garrick, then." Gwen took Tonks' arm and waved the hand that held the wand. Then Apparated out of Diagon Alley in a dizzy squeeze.

Tonks and Gwen appeared steadily in the foyer of 12 Grimmauld Place. Unlike the lively headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix in the past, the current Black House is very quiet, not even the always cursing portrait.

A tall figure hurried over, Lupin, who was also pale and haggard.

"You're safe, that's fine." He nodded to Tonks first, then looked apologetically at Gwen, "I'm sorry, Gwen. Today... I can't be here. , Sirius needs to be taken care of." He also seemed to notice that this reason did not explain why Gwen had to come over, "Tonks couldn't handle him alone, she always complied with everything Sirius asked—"

"Hey—" Tonks avoided Lupin's eyes.

"Dumbledore recommended you to me, he said you would be willing to help." Lupin glanced at the sky outside the window, "I have to leave before noon, anyway, don't let him eat too much Lots of ice cream, don't let Tonks and him tear down the house, and finally, good boy, be careful. He's still who he is." Lupin pursed his lips and gave Tonks a quick smile at the gray-brown hair. Then he sighed, patted Gwen on the shoulder inexplicably, and left in a hurry.

"I still don't understand." Gwen scratched his nose. "How can I help?"

"You can think of him as a little Fred and George." Tonks' hair was even more dull, "Perhaps that's why Dumbledore wants you to come. assist me."

They walked upstairs together to Sirius's bedroom on the fifth floor. He was lying on the bed in high spirits talking to himself, and it took a moment for Gwen to notice that he was chatting with Harry in the double-sided mirror.

"They picked up that beautiful bird," said Sirius angrily.

"That might be better for it, Hagrid's house has a big forest," Harry explained patiently.

"To be precise, there is a large forest next to Hagrid's house." Sirius retorted solemnly, and he squinted to see two people entering the room. "Wait a minute, Harry, I have two beautiful guests."

He jumped off the bed with his long legs, bowed to Tonks and Gwen, and made a face at Tonks. Gwen thought she looked like she was about to cry.

"How are you? Sirius." Gwen returned a random salute.

"Your manners are not very good." Sirius was actually willing to talk to others, he then said to Harry in the mirror, "Harry, if I salute like this, will you fight? Me? Or punish me not to eat?"

Harry froze for a while in the mirror, "I won't hit you, Sirius. But if you're still upset in the middle of the night from eating too much Florin, I'll let you Lupin and Kreacher threw away the ice cream."

Sirius frowned his beautiful eyebrows, and hummed twice after thinking for a long time.

Gwen wanted to say hello to Harry in the mirror, but Sirius was so agile that he didn't show her half a slit.

Gwen could only raise her voice, "Harry, long time no see, how are you there?"

There was also a muffled voice from the mirror in Sirius's clothes, "I'm fine, thank you for helping, Gwen. Can you play with him for a while?"

Gwen noticed his voice was a little hoarse, and Tonks gave her a three. The two lads had been chatting affectionately for three hours.

Gwen slapped his head and pulled out the magic millionaire bought from Fred and George at a "high price" from the luggage.

Sirius' attention was immediately drawn to the square map.

"Good guy!" Tonks sighed, her hair was not so annoying anymore. "I saw Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, Hogwarts, King's Cross - and Muggle Tower Bridge? Sirius, good boy, let's see how it goes?"

Gwen took a few pieces from the box, stacks of cards, and a stack of small, delicate gold Galleons.

Sirius reservedly waited for the two ladies to pick up the mermaid and the werewolf, and then offered to ask Harry in the mirror—he was leaned against a soft cushion by Sirius—to pick the pieces first.

Harry face
