The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

Boom!Boom!Boom!A rapid knock on the door broke the awkward atmosphere in the living room. Harry was about to open the door when Mrs. Weasley stood up before him.

"I really don't understand, don't all the goblins in Gringotts celebrate Christmas?" Mrs. Weasley hurriedly opened the door. Standing outside was the Weasley family's eldest son Bill, and his girlfriend Fleur... Delacour.

"Oh~, Mom, there has been too much business at Gringotts recently," Bill pulled Fleur through the door and hugged his mother enthusiastically, "I brought Fleur back to spend Christmas with us."

"Mrs. Weasley, excuse me." Fleur said awkwardly, wanting to hug her like Bill did, but as soon as she raised her hand, Mrs. Weasley had already turned and left.

"You guys go find a vacant room on the second floor. I have to prepare Christmas dinner." Mrs. Weasley obviously didn't give Fleur a good look. She quickly walked into the kitchen and closed the door with a bang.

"Sorry, Fleur, she will understand us, it may take some time." Bill apologetically took her hand that was frozen in the air, hugged it in his arms and comforted her.

Mrs. Weasley had a long-standing prejudice against Fleur.Even if she is a mixed-blood Veela, she feels uncomfortable because she is too beautiful and exudes charm all the time. She thinks that it is difficult for such a person to fit into their family, and is opposite to Weasley's ordinary simplicity.

"I'm fine, Bill," Fleur forced a smile. When she saw Harry still standing in the living room, she put on a smile and greeted him warmly, "Hi!~ Harry, long time no see!"

"Long time no see! What are you doing? When did this happen?" Harry was surprised when they walked in. One was a worker at the bottom of the wizarding society, and the other was the proud daughter of Beauxbatons. They miraculously came together. At the same time, as the good-looking person of the Weasley family, Bill and her are indeed a good match in appearance.

"Didn't Ron tell you? This is not like his character." Bill looked at Ron who was silent on the sofa, smiled at each other and continued, "Fleur came to Gringotts as a temporary worker. We are at work. We know each other.”

"Maybe I forgot," Harry responded awkwardly, and then said to Fleur, "By the way, Macon and Hermione are here too. They are tidying up the room upstairs."

"Ah, then I'll go upstairs first. I haven't seen them for a long time." After finishing speaking, Fleur took out her wand and used the levitating spell to carry her luggage up to the second floor. She didn't want to stay in the living room for a moment.

"Harry, do you want to go to the warehouse with me? We need to decorate the living room, and we also need a Christmas tree." Bill said and gave Harry a look.

"Okay." Harry nodded and followed Bill out of the Burrow.

The two walked along the river for a while and arrived at the Weasley's warehouse. Bill pushed open the wooden latch on the door, and after they both went in, he locked it from the inside.

"Harry, what happened to Ron?" Bill asked straight to the point. Although Ron was not as active as George and Fred, he was not so silent that he didn't say hello when he came back.

"I don't know how to explain his current state. I'll tell you what happened recently..." Harry shook his head and started telling Ron's little changes from Hogsmeade.

"Did Macon lose Slytherin's locket?" Bill repeated the question in his mind after listening to Harry's story.

"Yes, I also thought later that there was something wrong with the locket." Harry nodded, and then sighed, "He put the locket in the black cat locket, and I asked him directly for it. There’s no chance, I’m probably the person Ron hates the most right now.”

"No," Bill shook his head. He felt that the matter was not that simple. After thinking about it carefully, he continued, "There may be a problem with the locket itself, but the key to the problem is not the locket."

"Then what's the crux of the problem?" x2

Two inquiries came from the soles of their feet, and Harry subconsciously drew out his sword and was about to stab it down.

"Don't be nervous Harry, it's George and Fred!" Bill stopped him quickly and swept away the straw on the ground with his feet, revealing a cellar door.

"Are you shocked, Harry?" George came out of the cellar door, patted the dust on his body proudly, bent down and pulled Fred up below.

"The Weasley secret passages are no less than those of Hogwarts." Fred closed the cellar door and laid it with straw again. "The first thing we did as adults was to dig out a dozen secrets from under the Burrow. aisle."

"Sooner or later, you will tear this house apart!" Bill glared at them angrily and continued, "I now suspect that the locket may be a fake. Macon will not throw away the real locket for no reason, and he There is no shortage of money at all and most wealthy people are keen on collecting antiques.”

"Of course, every move of our boss has far-reaching significance. Just look at how popular our magic waffle shop is." George and Fred agreed very much with Bill's words. Apart from anything else, in terms of business, They understand it deeply.

"Harry, haven't you asked Macon?" Bill asked Harry. He wanted to know what Macon thought about this matter, or what Macon's attitude was.

"No, one thing happened one after another in the past few days. Ron's mood was very unstable. I never had the chance to ask him." Harry shook his head. He never thought that this matter had anything to do with Macon. , he just thought there was something wrong with the locket.

"Then there's no need to worry," Bill thought carefully. The Weasley family had nothing to plot against Macon, and their family had received too much help from each other, so there was no need to worry about it. "Ron, just let him be. Just think that he is in the rebellious stage of adolescence and just ignore him."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief. The two things that made him regret the most were that he was worried about Ron's safety, and that he failed to protect Ron well and could not explain it to his family.

"Harry, you don't have to be like this, I think mom and dad may have known something was wrong with Ron for a long time," Bill patted Harry on the shoulder and said affirmatively, "Don't forget, Macon was invited by mom. "

After hearing Bill's words, Harry felt much relieved. He originally suspected that Hermione knew the whole story of Ron's anomaly, but now he was more sure that Macon was playing the role of a chess player, so he only needed to be a good chess piece. Just do it.

"Okay, everyone, don't be stunned. Go and find those Christmas decorations." Bill looked at Harry carefully and said with envy, "Look at these solid muscles. The important task of finding the Christmas tree is Over to you, we need a nice fir tree.”
