[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory
Chapter 47 44.
12 Grimmauld Place, about 20 minutes' walk from King's Cross Station.From the outside, it was a dirty and messy house, the windows were even more filthy, and there was a scratched, black painted door with a silver doorknob in the shape of a coiled snake. There is no keyhole, no letterbox, just a doorbell, and it looks like it hasn't been lived in for years.
But Muggles can't see this house. Even the Muggles who live next door have not known for many years that there is a No. 12 house in Grimmauld Place. Every postman who has been in charge of this block has On the day they took office, they murmured why the number 11 was missing between the 13th and the 12th, but none of them ever figured it out, and finally attributed the answer to this question to an engineer's negligence.
Sirius repeatedly told every visitor not to ring the doorbell, because once the doorbell rang, it would wake up the portrait of his mother, Mrs. Walburga Black.
When Camelia visited 12 Grimmauld Place for the first time, she happened to meet Nymphadora Tonks outside the door. She was "Mad-Eye" Moody's apprentice and was also introduced by him to the Order of the Phoenix. The latest batch of members, although she is not yet an official Auror, still in training.
Tonks doesn't like people calling her by her real name. It is said that because the name "Nymphadora" doesn't sound very elegant, she asks everyone to call her by her last name. She has a pale, heart-shaped face with jet-black glitter Bright-eyed, like any young and rebellious witch, she wears a Weird Sisters shirt, ripped jeans, and brightly colored hair.
In addition, she is also a disguise magus, and she is born with the ability to change her appearance at will, so if she is happy, she can change the color of her hair according to her mood every day, but most of the time her hair color is like bubblegum It was that pink, and she thought it suited the shape of her face.
Seeing the envy in Camelia's eyes after learning that she has the ability to change her face anytime and anywhere, Tonks smiled softly. She had seen this kind of look many times.
"It's really handy not to have to spend so much time changing hair color, especially for dressy girls like us. I bet you're envious."
Camelia shook her head and muttered softly, "No, I just hope that sometimes I can temporarily hide the birthmark on my face."
Tonks was very surprised: "I wish I could have such a cool thing on my face!"
When she said this, she didn't pay attention to her feet and tripped over an umbrella stand that was about to fall apart.
Suddenly Sirius' annoyed voice came from upstairs, "Damn it! I told you to walk in lightly when you come in! Why are you all ignoring my words!"
After he finished yelling, there was a series of heavy thumping sounds coming down the stairs.
"I'm sorry!" Tonks screamed, lying on her back on the ground, "It's all because of that unlucky umbrella stand, this is the second time I've tripped over it..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a terrible, deafening scream filled the house.
Seeing that the two velvet curtains full of insect eyes that they had passed before had been lifted of their own accord, there was no door behind them. For a moment, Camelia thought it was a window, and behind the window was an old man in a black hat. The mistress was screaming endlessly, one after another, as if she was being tortured, but she soon realized that it was a life-size portrait, but she had never seen such an unpleasant one in her life. portrait.
The old lady in the painting is drooling, her eyes are rolling, and the skin on her face is tense from screaming, which wakes up the other portraits in the room and starts screaming too. When I got up, the sound was deafening to people's ears.Camelia had to cover her ears tightly with her hands.
Sirius had come down from upstairs, and Lupine followed.They rushed over in two steps in three steps, trying to close the curtain to cover the old lady inside, but they couldn't.The old lady's screams became harsher, and she waved her claw-like hands, as if she wanted to jump out of the portrait and grab their faces.
"Bastard! Bitch! Dirty son of a bitch! Bastard, get out of here, freak! How dare you come here and defile the ancestral home of our Black family!"
Tonks kept apologizing and trying to move things back where she had knocked them over.Lupine made no attempt to close the curtains, but turned and hurried across the hall, using his wand to stun the other portraits.
Still clutching the corner of the curtain, Sirius yelled extremely impolitely at the old lady in the portrait: "Shut up, you horrible old hag, shut up!"
The old lady suddenly turned pale.
"You! You!" She widened her eyes when she saw Sirius, and yelled sharply, "You are a disgrace to our family, the evil seed I gave birth to!"
"I said so! Shut up!" Sirius yelled still, and together with Lupine, he and Lupine managed to draw the curtain behind them.
As the curtain fell the old lady's scream died away, and the house fell into silence again.
Panting slightly, Sirius pushed back his long black hair that was blocking his eyes, and turned to look at Camelia.
"Hello, Camelia." He said with a straight face. "It seems that you have met my mother."
Camelia couldn't believe it, "That's yours..."
"Yes, my dear good mother," said Sirius. "We've been trying to get her off for a month, but she seems to have put a permanent sticking charm on it. We'd better stop talking here, hurry up." Let's go, it will be troublesome when they wake up again."
They led Camelia and Tonks into a room surrounded by rough stone walls.Most of the light comes from a large fireplace at the far end of the room.The smoke from the chimney filled the air, and there were many heavy iron pots and pans hanging from the dark ceiling.
Apparently they had had quite a few meetings, the room was filled with chairs, and in the center was a long wooden table littered with scrolls of parchment, goblets, empty wine bottles, and what appeared to be a pile of It is a thing of rags.
Embarrassed by the messy room, Lupine kept rubbing his hands and said to Camelia, "Sorry, we were supposed to make this place look like a home, and then invite you."
"But we don't have so much time. Remus, remember that this is an emergency, and Voldemort and his men will make a comeback at any time." Sirius didn't think it was embarrassing, and even raised his hand a little angrily. fist, "that guy Snape always asks me how the cleaning is going, what's the point of such a trivial matter? I think he's showing me that he and Dumbledore can go out and find the things that let Voldemort Immortal things, and I can only nest in this crappy house to mold and rot!"
There's a reason he's complaining so much.Although the Ministry of Magic released him without charge under the guarantee of Dumbledore, due to the public opinion outside and most people in the Ministry still believed that Sirius was a potential dangerous element, so although he did not have to return to Azka He is on duty, but he must still be under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic for several months, until everyone believes that he will not be dangerous before he can completely regain his freedom.
Lupine hissed to Sirius, who was about to speak out against the Ministry of Magic: "Keep your voice down, the children are here."
Only then did Sirius lower his voice a little, but he was still cursing, and it could be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied with being confined to the house these days.
They seem to have followed Dumbledore's advice and didn't tell Harry the truth about reopening the Order of the Phoenix. Maybe they simply told him that rebuilding the organization was a precautionary measure. After all, no one knows if the Dark Lord will suddenly come back. Comeback.If that's the case, they have to be fully prepared, and they can't wait for the disaster to happen before they start worrying.
Similarly, the re-knitting of the Order of the Phoenix was carried out secretly without the knowledge of the Ministry of Magic, fearing that those suspicious politicians would come to sabotage. They don't trust Dumbledore, and they always think that he is also a dark man who hides deeply. devil.
Although there have been some twists and turns in the middle, the Order of the Phoenix has been re-established in a decent manner. In addition to the old members that existed before, many new members have been welcomed in succession.
However, except for a few core members, most of the others thought that their main job was to unconditionally help the little savior Harry grow into a hero who could fight Voldemort, and they seemed to think that this was the meaning of the reopening of the Order of the Phoenix. But in fact it is far from what they think.
Camelia looked around and said to them, "This place really needs a good cleaning."
"Well, I admit that cleaning must be done. At least this place must be made habitable," said Sirius, waving his finger at the dark and dilapidated kitchen. "There has been no one living here for ten years, since my dear There's been no one since my mother died, unless you count the house elf she left behind, but that elf has gone wild and hasn't done any cleaning for a long time."
Listening to him talking about the crazy house-elf, Camelia couldn't help but arouse her curiosity, because she knew that if a house-elf was allowed to guard the master's house, it would definitely clean it up, just like It was exactly the same when the master was still there. In short, it would never be as messy as it is now, even if it was crazy, it would never do this.
Just when Camelia wanted to ask Sirius something about elves, Harry and the others ran into the room to greet her one by one.
The Weasley family moved here temporarily, because Mrs. Weasley was worried that the two big men, Sirius and Lupine, would not be able to take care of Harry well, so she asked Dumbledore's permission to move in to take care of them for a period of time.She didn't say how long she'd lived there, but what she meant was until Sirius and Lupine cleaned up the house sometime, or let her investigate that Sirius was a fully qualified guardian, then she wouldn't worry about it. Leigh was entrusted to his care.
This annoyed Sirius to her, because Mrs. Weasley was nagging and yelling most of the time, especially when it came to her two most mischievous sons, Fred and George, this may have brought back some unpleasant memories for Sirius and his mother.
In short, the tone of their conversations is always extremely polite and careful, as if they are strangers. In fact, they are all afraid that their careless words will annoy each other, which will trigger an endless war of words.
Everyone obviously didn't want to see the two of them quarreling again, because when they quarreled, the old dust accumulated on the beams could be shaken off by their loud voices, and even Fred and George were cautious about it, not Dare to say something witty about the two of them.
Hearing that Mrs. Weasley was cooking, Tonks walked over enthusiastically and asked if there was anything she could do, but Mrs. Weasley hesitated, with a terrified expression, and only heard her politely refuse Don Tonks' help, and asked Tonks to sit down and rest for a while.But Tonks didn't seem to be able to rest, and expressed her need to help again in a cheerful tone. She hurried to the cupboard where Ginny was taking the cutlery, but accidentally knocked over a chair.
Camelia had already noticed that Tonks was always acting rashly, no wonder Mrs. Weasley had such a big reaction when she heard that she wanted to help.
Fred and George didn't know whether it was intentional or they really wanted to help their mother reduce the burden, but they didn't learn housework magic very well, and instead caused Mrs. Weasley a lot of trouble, so Mrs. Weasley moved towards They shouted loudly and brought out their three excellent older brothers to compare with them.
The scene of the Weasley children arguing with their mother fascinated Camelia.
Sirius came over and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't you think this big family lives in the same room, and the noise is annoying?"
Camelia didn't know whether she was answering Sirius, or she was talking to herself: "This is the feeling of being at home."
Catching a flash of loneliness in her eyes, Sirius suddenly remembered the news that he had read in the "Daily Prophet" these days, and asked with concern: "Is your family okay?"
"Sorry, I don't really want to talk about this right now." Camelia looked back at the Weasleys, lowered her head and smiled slightly, "Also, I don't want to talk about emotional matters with anyone."
She knew that Cedric lived relatively close to the Weasleys, and she must have heard about their breakup.Perhaps some loud mouthed Weasley boy would break the news to Harry again, and if Harry knew, then his godfather, Sirius, would most likely know too.
Sure enough, Sirius had already heard about this, he brushed his hair indifferently, with an expression as if he had eaten something sour, "I don't think that kid is good enough for you, he looks like the kind of guy who has just an appearance and a head. Empty little boy, who can only coax a little girl like you with sweet words."
Although Sirius is her elder, hearing him comment on Cedric so superficially made Camelia feel angry, so she said angrily, "What do you know about me and him?"
But Sirius didn't care about her impolite attitude, instead he looked a little happy, "But let me tell you, he really looks like your father when he was young. I don't mean appearance, but... I I won't say more, you should understand. But think about your mother more, think about why she chose to leave your father back then? It's not appropriate! So it won't work for you to find a boy like your father of."
I don’t know why what Sirius said, as well as his tone and expression made Camelia feel that he was gloating. Maybe he deliberately wanted to match her and Harry, so he said that on purpose .
But this made Camelia feel that in terms of love, Sirius may not understand anything, nothing at all.
Since the vacation, Camelia can see different owls flying around to deliver letters to her almost every day, especially Cedric's owls are coming to report every day, rain or shine.
The letters sent in the first few days were basically the same. Friends wanted to ask her why they broke up, or Cedric asked each of them to ask.
After thinking for a long time, Camelia only replied to Cedric. She thought that this kind of thing should be clarified with him alone, and it doesn't matter if others are clear.
How to reply is also a headache. She rubbed countless balls of paper over and over again. Some sentences were written and scratched, and those words turned into ink blobs that people couldn't understand countless times.
Camelia knew that Cedric was not easy to fool, and knew that he never gave up easily, so using the relapse of depression as an excuse would not completely send him away. He was not one of the people she had encountered before. Boy, he wouldn't be scared away, but she couldn't think of a more decent reason to coax him.
That day was really too hasty, and she also made this crazy decision on the spur of the moment. In fact, she couldn't understand why she had to do this, but at that moment she realized that it was the best for the two of them. If the prophecy related to death is really unavoidable.
If the tape could be rewinded again, Camelia thought she shouldn't have accepted Cedric's confession, and shouldn't be with him. Maybe everything now was a mistake from the encounter with him in the History of Magic classroom.
Cedric Diggory could spend his whole life without knowing who Camelia Shafik would be, what this girl had done for him, what she had sacrificed for him, he wouldn't need to know anything, anyway This is all she wished, and her original intention was just to let the boy she loves continue to live. It was as simple as that. From the very beginning, she never thought that Cedric could have more than herself in her life. What she wanted It's just that he can go on living, just like everyone else.
If death is destined to come and cannot be avoided, she is willing to replace it with Cedric and block this misfortune for him. Anyway, there are already too many misfortunes in her life, so it doesn't matter if there is one more, to fulfill one Fairy tales, why not do it?She never dreamed that she would be the protagonist of the story, she just wanted to know how the little mermaid would feel when it turned into bubbles in the sun.
Perhaps it is like a bubble, which bursts at the touch of a touch, leaving only the short-lived beauty.
Tonks had been morphing her nose at dinner to amuse the girls, which seemed to be a regular mealtime entertainment here, as Hermione and Ginny were soon asking her to conjure their favorite noses.
Every time Tonks closed her eyes tightly, showing a painful expression, her nose suddenly swelled like a bird's beak, and then retracted, becoming the size of a spherical mushroom, and then each nostril A lot of nose hair came out.
This was very funny. Except for the girls, everyone at the table was happy with this performance. Only Mrs. Weasley was quite dissatisfied. She thought it was not appropriate to fight while eating, otherwise it would be easy to choke on the food.But her idea made sense. Just a few days ago at dinner, Fred made a joke that nearly stuck a fishbone in Ron's throat, because he was laughing so hard that he didn't notice.
It was probably the best meal Camelia had had in a long time, and she thought she would have been happier if Mr. Weasley and Percy hadn't brought today's paper with them when they came back from get off work.
"Arthur, how many times have I told you not to read the newspaper while eating, you will set a bad example for the children!"
Mrs. Weasley yelled at Mr. Weasley, who was flipping through the Daily Prophet with one hand and holding a fork in the other.
Mr. Weasley ignored his wife's nagging, and instead passed the newspaper a little so that Mrs. Weasley could read it too.
"You'll be interested, Molly. Look, there's another big incident at the Shafiq family, yes, that's the one. The newspaper said that it's already preparing for a lawsuit, and wants to renegotiate the issue of child custody."
Everyone else put down the food in their hands and looked at Camelia at the same time, but the Weasleys didn't notice the change in the atmosphere at the table, and Tonks, she looked at the everyone who was serious in an instant with a confused face , she looks like the kind of person who is not good at reading newspapers every day.
"Let me take a look." Mrs. Weasley leaned over, and after roughly browsing the content above, she shook her head and frowned.
"It's so ridiculous." She leaned closer to Mr. Weasley again, "Arthur, remember when we were studying? Erwin Shafik was a character, There are so many girls at Hogwarts who want to date him. My friend Judy, is his number one fan, remember? She always liked him, and on her graduation day she thought she'd never dated him And crying."
Mr. Weasley smiled slightly, and fell into the memories with his wife, "Yeah, it's a good thing he had a fiancée back then, otherwise he really wouldn't have left us ordinary boys with a way out."
"But he married the French woman first! And then - if I say he married the Yaxley girl, his fiancée in the first place, what could have happened..." Mrs. Weasley will Turning to Percy, "What's the matter, Percy? Are you unwell?"
Because Percy kept blinking at Mrs. Weasley, maybe he wanted to remind her to stop talking, but Mrs. Weasley didn't understand what he meant, and neither did Mr. Weasley. If you look around, you will find that except for Tonks, the expressions on the faces of other people are very strange.
Mr. Weasley retorted his wife, "Molly, Shafik said a long time ago that the marriage contract was made by the two parents before they were born. In fact, it was the eldest daughter of the Yaxley family who made the marriage contract at that time. But who knew that the girl died before she reached the age of school, so she was replaced by the younger daughter, but he only sees her as his younger sister, and he doesn't like it."
"Since he doesn't like it... Oh! I'm almost confused! If you want me to say that these rich young masters take love too much, they don't have any family values, and the poor two children suffer along with it..."
At this time, everyone said in unison: "Mom (Madam) stop talking!"
After speaking, they all secretly went to see Camelia nervously.
"What's the matter with you all? Well, I'm just chatting with your father about some irrelevant things, and it's someone else's business. Why are you nervous?" Mrs. Weasley gave all of them a strange look. , and then turned her head to her husband.
"I was just about to say something—by the way, I remember what I told you a few days ago. It's not good for him to name his daughter that name. I don't like it very much. You also know that camellias bloom and wither. Time... oh, why did I forget! Camelia!" Mrs. Weasley yelled belatedly, and looked at Camelia with wide-eyed horror.
Mrs. Weasley only met Camelia today, and she is not familiar with her. In addition, Camelia came at an untimely time. At that time, Mrs. Weasley was busy cooking, and she heard her self-introduction Finally, at that time, she just muttered in her heart why the name was so familiar, and she didn't connect the recent news at all. It wasn't until just now that she remembered that such a guest came today.
Mr. Weasley seemed to be used to his wife yelling from time to time, but he still didn't notice something was wrong, and he just realized that there was a girl he didn't know at the dinner table today.
"By the way, what's your name? It seems that someone told me just now, but I didn't listen carefully."
Camelia smiled and said, "Sir, hello, I'm Camelia Shafik."
Mr. Weasley jumped up immediately, almost knocking over the full jug of pumpkin juice on the table.
"Merlin's beard! You're the girl in the paper! Oh, my God!" The expression on his face was exactly the same as Mrs. Weasley's.
"I think if you turn to the back page, you can probably see a picture of our family on it. I read that newspaper in the morning, if I remember correctly."
With trembling hands, Mr. Weasley picked up the newspaper he threw on the table, first looked down at the newspaper, then looked up at Camelia, and repeated this action mechanically several times, making his several A child can't stand it anymore.
"Dad, don't look, the one standing in front of you is the real Miss Shafik." Fred said, "If you still don't believe me, I can guarantee Ron's life, this is her."
Ron yelled unhappily, "Hey! What do you mean taking my life?"
"Okay, do you really want to make trouble at this time?" Mrs. Weasley scolded with her arms akimbo, "Since you all know, why didn't you remind me and your father earlier, do you know that this caused us to do something wrong?"
George cried out, "But mother, you always say that children are not allowed to interrupt when grown-ups are talking."
"So we can only shut up." After Fred finished speaking, he and George looked at each other.
Ron rubbed his nose and said, "We've always wanted to talk, but you always don't give this chance. And we told you not to talk later, who told you not to listen to us."
Even Ginny said very quietly, "Mum, Percy and I have been giving you winks."
Still dazed, Tonks asked Hermione and Harry what had happened, which she knew nothing about.
Mrs. Weasley wanted to reprimand them a few more words, but suddenly remembered that she hadn't apologized to Camelia, so she kept apologizing to Mr. Weasley, who had just recovered, with an apologetic smile on her face.
Camelia didn't take it seriously, but smiled and said: "It's okay, I actually want to thank you for telling me so many things about Dad, I don't know. And Madam, you prepared for everyone The food is delicious and hard work."
Mrs. Weasley was extremely embarrassed, "This is what I should do."
At this time Sirius walked into the kitchen cursing, "I told them not to ring the doorbell! No one listens to me!"
Following him was Lupine. They had just gone downstairs to receive someone. It seemed that Dumbledore had sent something.
Lupine said cheerfully, "I'm very hungry. Is there anything else to eat?"
In the afternoon, Camelia also joined in the cleaning operation, and they decided to clean up the vixen in the house first.
On the second floor there was a long, high-ceilinged room with dirty tapestries on the olive-green walls, and whenever someone accidentally touched the tapestry or stepped on the carpet in the room, the A small puff of dust was raised, and the chartreuse velvet curtains kept buzzing, as if there were many invisible bees inside.
Mrs. Weasley put a cloth around each person's face, covering their nose and mouth, and handed each of them a large bottle with a spout, filled with a black liquid.
"Block your face and get a spray bottle each," Mrs. Weasley told them, pointing to the black liquid in her hand. "It's a fox bug killer. I've never seen such an infestation of vermin." What the hell has that house-elf been doing for ten years!"
Hermione's face was half-hidden by a tea towel, but Camelia could clearly see her throwing a disapproving glance at Mrs Weasley.
"Kreacher is very old, he probably won't be able to—"
Before Hermione could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Sirius who had just walked into the room.
"You'll be amazed at what Kreacher can do if he wants to, Hermione," said Sirius, throwing a few old picture frames on an armchair and leaning over a locked cabinet in the room, The cabinet was shaking slightly.
"Yeah, Molly, I'm pretty sure it's a Boggart," said Sirius, peering through the keyhole, "but maybe we'd better let Mad-Eye transform it before putting it in Come out, because he probably knew my mother, and he's a far better fellow."
"You're right, Sirius," said Mrs. Weasley.
While they were talking, a house-elf sidled in.
It looked very old, with nothing but a tattered cloth around its waist, and great patches of skin hanging down, and though its head was bald like all house-elves, there were growths growing out of its two large bat-like ears. There was a lot of white hair.Its eyes are watery and gray, and its nose looks like a pig's nose.
Camelia thought it was probably the crazy house-elf that Sirius was talking about.
The elf didn't pay attention to the others at all.As if it couldn't see them, it walked slowly, step by step, across the room, hunched over and shuffling its feet, murmuring incessantly in a hoarse, low voice like a bullfrog.
"It smells like gutters here, and criminals. How better is she to lead her brats to spoil my mistress's house. My poor mistress, if she knows, if she knows What would she say to old Kreacher what kind of junk Master Sirius brought into her house. What a shame, mudbloods, werewolves, liars and thieves, poor old Kreacher ..."
When he was about to reach Mrs. Weasley, the house-elf froze suddenly, no longer muttering words, but showing a very obvious look of surprise.
"What are you doing?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Kreacher didn't see the mistress just now." It turned and bowed to Mrs. Weasley.With its face still turned to the carpet, it said again in a voice quite audible, "What a nasty old woman."
Mrs. Weasley said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Kreacher is cleaning." Its eyes began to evade.
"It sounds like it's true." Sirius glared at the elf angrily.
Kreacher seemed to have only now realized that Sirius was there, and immediately bowed deeply, his body was so ridiculously low, that he almost pressed Ren to the ground and rubbed against it.
"Stand still!" said Sirius impatiently. "What the hell are you trying to do?"
"Kreacher is cleaning," repeated the elf. "Kreacher has served the noble Black family all his life."
"But the house is getting dirtier every day," said Sirius.
"Young master always likes to make small jokes," Kreacher said, bowing again, and then muttered in a low voice, "Young master is an annoying, ungrateful prodigal, who broke the heart of my noble mistress."
"My mother has no heart at all, Kreacher," said Sirius grimly. "She lives entirely out of resentment."
Kreacher bowed again, and then he muttered indignantly again, "Young master is not worthy to polish his mother's soles, my poor mistress, what will she say if she sees Kreacher serving the young master, ma'am?" How the Master hates him, what a disappointment he is."
"I asked what are you going to do?" Sirius said coldly, "Every time you come out to pretend to clean up, but secretly take everything to yourself, and don't let us throw it away."
"Kreacher will never take anything from the master's house." The elf muttered, "If the tapestry is thrown away, the mistress will never forgive Kreacher. The tapestry has been in this house for seven centuries. , Kreacher must keep it, Kreacher will never let the young master, and these bastards and scum destroy the tapestry."
Sirius cast a contemptuous glance, "In that case I'll destroy the tapestry. You go, Kreacher."
Kreacher didn't seem to dare to disobey Sirius' orders, but when he walked out, he gave Sirius a look full of hatred, and he kept muttering as he walked out of the room.
"Oh, my poor mistress, what will she say if she sees the house like this, her darling thrown out, she swore to deny him this son, and now he's back, and it's said he's still a Murderer, just came back from Azkaban..."
"If you keep talking, I'll really kill you!" Sirius said irritably.
Hermione pleaded, "Sirius, I think he might be confused and doesn't know we can hear him."
"It's been alone too long," said Sirius, "following some crazy orders from my mother's portrait, and fond of talking to itself, but it was a very nasty little elf before."
He rubbed his temples looking very tired, and Mrs. Weasley said, "Let's go clean up the fox first, boys. As for Sirius, I think you can go take a nap and don't tire yourself out."
"It's okay, I'll be fine after a while." Sirius waved his hand.
Finally, it was Harry who persuaded him, and he agreed to go back to his bedroom and lie down.
After Sirius left, Mrs. Weasley led everyone back to the curtain, but she stopped Camelia.
"Leave the dirty work to us, Camelia, you are a guest, so you don't have to do anything, just go to another room, but be careful not to touch anything."
Maybe Mrs. Weasley was still feeling guilty about what happened during the meal, so she was extra polite to Camelia, and at the same time, she seemed to mistake Camelia for the kind of delicate rich daughter who knew nothing about housework, It seemed that other people thought so too, and told her not to work.
Hearing what everyone said, Camelia had no choice but to back out of the room, and she stood
But Muggles can't see this house. Even the Muggles who live next door have not known for many years that there is a No. 12 house in Grimmauld Place. Every postman who has been in charge of this block has On the day they took office, they murmured why the number 11 was missing between the 13th and the 12th, but none of them ever figured it out, and finally attributed the answer to this question to an engineer's negligence.
Sirius repeatedly told every visitor not to ring the doorbell, because once the doorbell rang, it would wake up the portrait of his mother, Mrs. Walburga Black.
When Camelia visited 12 Grimmauld Place for the first time, she happened to meet Nymphadora Tonks outside the door. She was "Mad-Eye" Moody's apprentice and was also introduced by him to the Order of the Phoenix. The latest batch of members, although she is not yet an official Auror, still in training.
Tonks doesn't like people calling her by her real name. It is said that because the name "Nymphadora" doesn't sound very elegant, she asks everyone to call her by her last name. She has a pale, heart-shaped face with jet-black glitter Bright-eyed, like any young and rebellious witch, she wears a Weird Sisters shirt, ripped jeans, and brightly colored hair.
In addition, she is also a disguise magus, and she is born with the ability to change her appearance at will, so if she is happy, she can change the color of her hair according to her mood every day, but most of the time her hair color is like bubblegum It was that pink, and she thought it suited the shape of her face.
Seeing the envy in Camelia's eyes after learning that she has the ability to change her face anytime and anywhere, Tonks smiled softly. She had seen this kind of look many times.
"It's really handy not to have to spend so much time changing hair color, especially for dressy girls like us. I bet you're envious."
Camelia shook her head and muttered softly, "No, I just hope that sometimes I can temporarily hide the birthmark on my face."
Tonks was very surprised: "I wish I could have such a cool thing on my face!"
When she said this, she didn't pay attention to her feet and tripped over an umbrella stand that was about to fall apart.
Suddenly Sirius' annoyed voice came from upstairs, "Damn it! I told you to walk in lightly when you come in! Why are you all ignoring my words!"
After he finished yelling, there was a series of heavy thumping sounds coming down the stairs.
"I'm sorry!" Tonks screamed, lying on her back on the ground, "It's all because of that unlucky umbrella stand, this is the second time I've tripped over it..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a terrible, deafening scream filled the house.
Seeing that the two velvet curtains full of insect eyes that they had passed before had been lifted of their own accord, there was no door behind them. For a moment, Camelia thought it was a window, and behind the window was an old man in a black hat. The mistress was screaming endlessly, one after another, as if she was being tortured, but she soon realized that it was a life-size portrait, but she had never seen such an unpleasant one in her life. portrait.
The old lady in the painting is drooling, her eyes are rolling, and the skin on her face is tense from screaming, which wakes up the other portraits in the room and starts screaming too. When I got up, the sound was deafening to people's ears.Camelia had to cover her ears tightly with her hands.
Sirius had come down from upstairs, and Lupine followed.They rushed over in two steps in three steps, trying to close the curtain to cover the old lady inside, but they couldn't.The old lady's screams became harsher, and she waved her claw-like hands, as if she wanted to jump out of the portrait and grab their faces.
"Bastard! Bitch! Dirty son of a bitch! Bastard, get out of here, freak! How dare you come here and defile the ancestral home of our Black family!"
Tonks kept apologizing and trying to move things back where she had knocked them over.Lupine made no attempt to close the curtains, but turned and hurried across the hall, using his wand to stun the other portraits.
Still clutching the corner of the curtain, Sirius yelled extremely impolitely at the old lady in the portrait: "Shut up, you horrible old hag, shut up!"
The old lady suddenly turned pale.
"You! You!" She widened her eyes when she saw Sirius, and yelled sharply, "You are a disgrace to our family, the evil seed I gave birth to!"
"I said so! Shut up!" Sirius yelled still, and together with Lupine, he and Lupine managed to draw the curtain behind them.
As the curtain fell the old lady's scream died away, and the house fell into silence again.
Panting slightly, Sirius pushed back his long black hair that was blocking his eyes, and turned to look at Camelia.
"Hello, Camelia." He said with a straight face. "It seems that you have met my mother."
Camelia couldn't believe it, "That's yours..."
"Yes, my dear good mother," said Sirius. "We've been trying to get her off for a month, but she seems to have put a permanent sticking charm on it. We'd better stop talking here, hurry up." Let's go, it will be troublesome when they wake up again."
They led Camelia and Tonks into a room surrounded by rough stone walls.Most of the light comes from a large fireplace at the far end of the room.The smoke from the chimney filled the air, and there were many heavy iron pots and pans hanging from the dark ceiling.
Apparently they had had quite a few meetings, the room was filled with chairs, and in the center was a long wooden table littered with scrolls of parchment, goblets, empty wine bottles, and what appeared to be a pile of It is a thing of rags.
Embarrassed by the messy room, Lupine kept rubbing his hands and said to Camelia, "Sorry, we were supposed to make this place look like a home, and then invite you."
"But we don't have so much time. Remus, remember that this is an emergency, and Voldemort and his men will make a comeback at any time." Sirius didn't think it was embarrassing, and even raised his hand a little angrily. fist, "that guy Snape always asks me how the cleaning is going, what's the point of such a trivial matter? I think he's showing me that he and Dumbledore can go out and find the things that let Voldemort Immortal things, and I can only nest in this crappy house to mold and rot!"
There's a reason he's complaining so much.Although the Ministry of Magic released him without charge under the guarantee of Dumbledore, due to the public opinion outside and most people in the Ministry still believed that Sirius was a potential dangerous element, so although he did not have to return to Azka He is on duty, but he must still be under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic for several months, until everyone believes that he will not be dangerous before he can completely regain his freedom.
Lupine hissed to Sirius, who was about to speak out against the Ministry of Magic: "Keep your voice down, the children are here."
Only then did Sirius lower his voice a little, but he was still cursing, and it could be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied with being confined to the house these days.
They seem to have followed Dumbledore's advice and didn't tell Harry the truth about reopening the Order of the Phoenix. Maybe they simply told him that rebuilding the organization was a precautionary measure. After all, no one knows if the Dark Lord will suddenly come back. Comeback.If that's the case, they have to be fully prepared, and they can't wait for the disaster to happen before they start worrying.
Similarly, the re-knitting of the Order of the Phoenix was carried out secretly without the knowledge of the Ministry of Magic, fearing that those suspicious politicians would come to sabotage. They don't trust Dumbledore, and they always think that he is also a dark man who hides deeply. devil.
Although there have been some twists and turns in the middle, the Order of the Phoenix has been re-established in a decent manner. In addition to the old members that existed before, many new members have been welcomed in succession.
However, except for a few core members, most of the others thought that their main job was to unconditionally help the little savior Harry grow into a hero who could fight Voldemort, and they seemed to think that this was the meaning of the reopening of the Order of the Phoenix. But in fact it is far from what they think.
Camelia looked around and said to them, "This place really needs a good cleaning."
"Well, I admit that cleaning must be done. At least this place must be made habitable," said Sirius, waving his finger at the dark and dilapidated kitchen. "There has been no one living here for ten years, since my dear There's been no one since my mother died, unless you count the house elf she left behind, but that elf has gone wild and hasn't done any cleaning for a long time."
Listening to him talking about the crazy house-elf, Camelia couldn't help but arouse her curiosity, because she knew that if a house-elf was allowed to guard the master's house, it would definitely clean it up, just like It was exactly the same when the master was still there. In short, it would never be as messy as it is now, even if it was crazy, it would never do this.
Just when Camelia wanted to ask Sirius something about elves, Harry and the others ran into the room to greet her one by one.
The Weasley family moved here temporarily, because Mrs. Weasley was worried that the two big men, Sirius and Lupine, would not be able to take care of Harry well, so she asked Dumbledore's permission to move in to take care of them for a period of time.She didn't say how long she'd lived there, but what she meant was until Sirius and Lupine cleaned up the house sometime, or let her investigate that Sirius was a fully qualified guardian, then she wouldn't worry about it. Leigh was entrusted to his care.
This annoyed Sirius to her, because Mrs. Weasley was nagging and yelling most of the time, especially when it came to her two most mischievous sons, Fred and George, this may have brought back some unpleasant memories for Sirius and his mother.
In short, the tone of their conversations is always extremely polite and careful, as if they are strangers. In fact, they are all afraid that their careless words will annoy each other, which will trigger an endless war of words.
Everyone obviously didn't want to see the two of them quarreling again, because when they quarreled, the old dust accumulated on the beams could be shaken off by their loud voices, and even Fred and George were cautious about it, not Dare to say something witty about the two of them.
Hearing that Mrs. Weasley was cooking, Tonks walked over enthusiastically and asked if there was anything she could do, but Mrs. Weasley hesitated, with a terrified expression, and only heard her politely refuse Don Tonks' help, and asked Tonks to sit down and rest for a while.But Tonks didn't seem to be able to rest, and expressed her need to help again in a cheerful tone. She hurried to the cupboard where Ginny was taking the cutlery, but accidentally knocked over a chair.
Camelia had already noticed that Tonks was always acting rashly, no wonder Mrs. Weasley had such a big reaction when she heard that she wanted to help.
Fred and George didn't know whether it was intentional or they really wanted to help their mother reduce the burden, but they didn't learn housework magic very well, and instead caused Mrs. Weasley a lot of trouble, so Mrs. Weasley moved towards They shouted loudly and brought out their three excellent older brothers to compare with them.
The scene of the Weasley children arguing with their mother fascinated Camelia.
Sirius came over and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't you think this big family lives in the same room, and the noise is annoying?"
Camelia didn't know whether she was answering Sirius, or she was talking to herself: "This is the feeling of being at home."
Catching a flash of loneliness in her eyes, Sirius suddenly remembered the news that he had read in the "Daily Prophet" these days, and asked with concern: "Is your family okay?"
"Sorry, I don't really want to talk about this right now." Camelia looked back at the Weasleys, lowered her head and smiled slightly, "Also, I don't want to talk about emotional matters with anyone."
She knew that Cedric lived relatively close to the Weasleys, and she must have heard about their breakup.Perhaps some loud mouthed Weasley boy would break the news to Harry again, and if Harry knew, then his godfather, Sirius, would most likely know too.
Sure enough, Sirius had already heard about this, he brushed his hair indifferently, with an expression as if he had eaten something sour, "I don't think that kid is good enough for you, he looks like the kind of guy who has just an appearance and a head. Empty little boy, who can only coax a little girl like you with sweet words."
Although Sirius is her elder, hearing him comment on Cedric so superficially made Camelia feel angry, so she said angrily, "What do you know about me and him?"
But Sirius didn't care about her impolite attitude, instead he looked a little happy, "But let me tell you, he really looks like your father when he was young. I don't mean appearance, but... I I won't say more, you should understand. But think about your mother more, think about why she chose to leave your father back then? It's not appropriate! So it won't work for you to find a boy like your father of."
I don’t know why what Sirius said, as well as his tone and expression made Camelia feel that he was gloating. Maybe he deliberately wanted to match her and Harry, so he said that on purpose .
But this made Camelia feel that in terms of love, Sirius may not understand anything, nothing at all.
Since the vacation, Camelia can see different owls flying around to deliver letters to her almost every day, especially Cedric's owls are coming to report every day, rain or shine.
The letters sent in the first few days were basically the same. Friends wanted to ask her why they broke up, or Cedric asked each of them to ask.
After thinking for a long time, Camelia only replied to Cedric. She thought that this kind of thing should be clarified with him alone, and it doesn't matter if others are clear.
How to reply is also a headache. She rubbed countless balls of paper over and over again. Some sentences were written and scratched, and those words turned into ink blobs that people couldn't understand countless times.
Camelia knew that Cedric was not easy to fool, and knew that he never gave up easily, so using the relapse of depression as an excuse would not completely send him away. He was not one of the people she had encountered before. Boy, he wouldn't be scared away, but she couldn't think of a more decent reason to coax him.
That day was really too hasty, and she also made this crazy decision on the spur of the moment. In fact, she couldn't understand why she had to do this, but at that moment she realized that it was the best for the two of them. If the prophecy related to death is really unavoidable.
If the tape could be rewinded again, Camelia thought she shouldn't have accepted Cedric's confession, and shouldn't be with him. Maybe everything now was a mistake from the encounter with him in the History of Magic classroom.
Cedric Diggory could spend his whole life without knowing who Camelia Shafik would be, what this girl had done for him, what she had sacrificed for him, he wouldn't need to know anything, anyway This is all she wished, and her original intention was just to let the boy she loves continue to live. It was as simple as that. From the very beginning, she never thought that Cedric could have more than herself in her life. What she wanted It's just that he can go on living, just like everyone else.
If death is destined to come and cannot be avoided, she is willing to replace it with Cedric and block this misfortune for him. Anyway, there are already too many misfortunes in her life, so it doesn't matter if there is one more, to fulfill one Fairy tales, why not do it?She never dreamed that she would be the protagonist of the story, she just wanted to know how the little mermaid would feel when it turned into bubbles in the sun.
Perhaps it is like a bubble, which bursts at the touch of a touch, leaving only the short-lived beauty.
Tonks had been morphing her nose at dinner to amuse the girls, which seemed to be a regular mealtime entertainment here, as Hermione and Ginny were soon asking her to conjure their favorite noses.
Every time Tonks closed her eyes tightly, showing a painful expression, her nose suddenly swelled like a bird's beak, and then retracted, becoming the size of a spherical mushroom, and then each nostril A lot of nose hair came out.
This was very funny. Except for the girls, everyone at the table was happy with this performance. Only Mrs. Weasley was quite dissatisfied. She thought it was not appropriate to fight while eating, otherwise it would be easy to choke on the food.But her idea made sense. Just a few days ago at dinner, Fred made a joke that nearly stuck a fishbone in Ron's throat, because he was laughing so hard that he didn't notice.
It was probably the best meal Camelia had had in a long time, and she thought she would have been happier if Mr. Weasley and Percy hadn't brought today's paper with them when they came back from get off work.
"Arthur, how many times have I told you not to read the newspaper while eating, you will set a bad example for the children!"
Mrs. Weasley yelled at Mr. Weasley, who was flipping through the Daily Prophet with one hand and holding a fork in the other.
Mr. Weasley ignored his wife's nagging, and instead passed the newspaper a little so that Mrs. Weasley could read it too.
"You'll be interested, Molly. Look, there's another big incident at the Shafiq family, yes, that's the one. The newspaper said that it's already preparing for a lawsuit, and wants to renegotiate the issue of child custody."
Everyone else put down the food in their hands and looked at Camelia at the same time, but the Weasleys didn't notice the change in the atmosphere at the table, and Tonks, she looked at the everyone who was serious in an instant with a confused face , she looks like the kind of person who is not good at reading newspapers every day.
"Let me take a look." Mrs. Weasley leaned over, and after roughly browsing the content above, she shook her head and frowned.
"It's so ridiculous." She leaned closer to Mr. Weasley again, "Arthur, remember when we were studying? Erwin Shafik was a character, There are so many girls at Hogwarts who want to date him. My friend Judy, is his number one fan, remember? She always liked him, and on her graduation day she thought she'd never dated him And crying."
Mr. Weasley smiled slightly, and fell into the memories with his wife, "Yeah, it's a good thing he had a fiancée back then, otherwise he really wouldn't have left us ordinary boys with a way out."
"But he married the French woman first! And then - if I say he married the Yaxley girl, his fiancée in the first place, what could have happened..." Mrs. Weasley will Turning to Percy, "What's the matter, Percy? Are you unwell?"
Because Percy kept blinking at Mrs. Weasley, maybe he wanted to remind her to stop talking, but Mrs. Weasley didn't understand what he meant, and neither did Mr. Weasley. If you look around, you will find that except for Tonks, the expressions on the faces of other people are very strange.
Mr. Weasley retorted his wife, "Molly, Shafik said a long time ago that the marriage contract was made by the two parents before they were born. In fact, it was the eldest daughter of the Yaxley family who made the marriage contract at that time. But who knew that the girl died before she reached the age of school, so she was replaced by the younger daughter, but he only sees her as his younger sister, and he doesn't like it."
"Since he doesn't like it... Oh! I'm almost confused! If you want me to say that these rich young masters take love too much, they don't have any family values, and the poor two children suffer along with it..."
At this time, everyone said in unison: "Mom (Madam) stop talking!"
After speaking, they all secretly went to see Camelia nervously.
"What's the matter with you all? Well, I'm just chatting with your father about some irrelevant things, and it's someone else's business. Why are you nervous?" Mrs. Weasley gave all of them a strange look. , and then turned her head to her husband.
"I was just about to say something—by the way, I remember what I told you a few days ago. It's not good for him to name his daughter that name. I don't like it very much. You also know that camellias bloom and wither. Time... oh, why did I forget! Camelia!" Mrs. Weasley yelled belatedly, and looked at Camelia with wide-eyed horror.
Mrs. Weasley only met Camelia today, and she is not familiar with her. In addition, Camelia came at an untimely time. At that time, Mrs. Weasley was busy cooking, and she heard her self-introduction Finally, at that time, she just muttered in her heart why the name was so familiar, and she didn't connect the recent news at all. It wasn't until just now that she remembered that such a guest came today.
Mr. Weasley seemed to be used to his wife yelling from time to time, but he still didn't notice something was wrong, and he just realized that there was a girl he didn't know at the dinner table today.
"By the way, what's your name? It seems that someone told me just now, but I didn't listen carefully."
Camelia smiled and said, "Sir, hello, I'm Camelia Shafik."
Mr. Weasley jumped up immediately, almost knocking over the full jug of pumpkin juice on the table.
"Merlin's beard! You're the girl in the paper! Oh, my God!" The expression on his face was exactly the same as Mrs. Weasley's.
"I think if you turn to the back page, you can probably see a picture of our family on it. I read that newspaper in the morning, if I remember correctly."
With trembling hands, Mr. Weasley picked up the newspaper he threw on the table, first looked down at the newspaper, then looked up at Camelia, and repeated this action mechanically several times, making his several A child can't stand it anymore.
"Dad, don't look, the one standing in front of you is the real Miss Shafik." Fred said, "If you still don't believe me, I can guarantee Ron's life, this is her."
Ron yelled unhappily, "Hey! What do you mean taking my life?"
"Okay, do you really want to make trouble at this time?" Mrs. Weasley scolded with her arms akimbo, "Since you all know, why didn't you remind me and your father earlier, do you know that this caused us to do something wrong?"
George cried out, "But mother, you always say that children are not allowed to interrupt when grown-ups are talking."
"So we can only shut up." After Fred finished speaking, he and George looked at each other.
Ron rubbed his nose and said, "We've always wanted to talk, but you always don't give this chance. And we told you not to talk later, who told you not to listen to us."
Even Ginny said very quietly, "Mum, Percy and I have been giving you winks."
Still dazed, Tonks asked Hermione and Harry what had happened, which she knew nothing about.
Mrs. Weasley wanted to reprimand them a few more words, but suddenly remembered that she hadn't apologized to Camelia, so she kept apologizing to Mr. Weasley, who had just recovered, with an apologetic smile on her face.
Camelia didn't take it seriously, but smiled and said: "It's okay, I actually want to thank you for telling me so many things about Dad, I don't know. And Madam, you prepared for everyone The food is delicious and hard work."
Mrs. Weasley was extremely embarrassed, "This is what I should do."
At this time Sirius walked into the kitchen cursing, "I told them not to ring the doorbell! No one listens to me!"
Following him was Lupine. They had just gone downstairs to receive someone. It seemed that Dumbledore had sent something.
Lupine said cheerfully, "I'm very hungry. Is there anything else to eat?"
In the afternoon, Camelia also joined in the cleaning operation, and they decided to clean up the vixen in the house first.
On the second floor there was a long, high-ceilinged room with dirty tapestries on the olive-green walls, and whenever someone accidentally touched the tapestry or stepped on the carpet in the room, the A small puff of dust was raised, and the chartreuse velvet curtains kept buzzing, as if there were many invisible bees inside.
Mrs. Weasley put a cloth around each person's face, covering their nose and mouth, and handed each of them a large bottle with a spout, filled with a black liquid.
"Block your face and get a spray bottle each," Mrs. Weasley told them, pointing to the black liquid in her hand. "It's a fox bug killer. I've never seen such an infestation of vermin." What the hell has that house-elf been doing for ten years!"
Hermione's face was half-hidden by a tea towel, but Camelia could clearly see her throwing a disapproving glance at Mrs Weasley.
"Kreacher is very old, he probably won't be able to—"
Before Hermione could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Sirius who had just walked into the room.
"You'll be amazed at what Kreacher can do if he wants to, Hermione," said Sirius, throwing a few old picture frames on an armchair and leaning over a locked cabinet in the room, The cabinet was shaking slightly.
"Yeah, Molly, I'm pretty sure it's a Boggart," said Sirius, peering through the keyhole, "but maybe we'd better let Mad-Eye transform it before putting it in Come out, because he probably knew my mother, and he's a far better fellow."
"You're right, Sirius," said Mrs. Weasley.
While they were talking, a house-elf sidled in.
It looked very old, with nothing but a tattered cloth around its waist, and great patches of skin hanging down, and though its head was bald like all house-elves, there were growths growing out of its two large bat-like ears. There was a lot of white hair.Its eyes are watery and gray, and its nose looks like a pig's nose.
Camelia thought it was probably the crazy house-elf that Sirius was talking about.
The elf didn't pay attention to the others at all.As if it couldn't see them, it walked slowly, step by step, across the room, hunched over and shuffling its feet, murmuring incessantly in a hoarse, low voice like a bullfrog.
"It smells like gutters here, and criminals. How better is she to lead her brats to spoil my mistress's house. My poor mistress, if she knows, if she knows What would she say to old Kreacher what kind of junk Master Sirius brought into her house. What a shame, mudbloods, werewolves, liars and thieves, poor old Kreacher ..."
When he was about to reach Mrs. Weasley, the house-elf froze suddenly, no longer muttering words, but showing a very obvious look of surprise.
"What are you doing?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"Kreacher didn't see the mistress just now." It turned and bowed to Mrs. Weasley.With its face still turned to the carpet, it said again in a voice quite audible, "What a nasty old woman."
Mrs. Weasley said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Kreacher is cleaning." Its eyes began to evade.
"It sounds like it's true." Sirius glared at the elf angrily.
Kreacher seemed to have only now realized that Sirius was there, and immediately bowed deeply, his body was so ridiculously low, that he almost pressed Ren to the ground and rubbed against it.
"Stand still!" said Sirius impatiently. "What the hell are you trying to do?"
"Kreacher is cleaning," repeated the elf. "Kreacher has served the noble Black family all his life."
"But the house is getting dirtier every day," said Sirius.
"Young master always likes to make small jokes," Kreacher said, bowing again, and then muttered in a low voice, "Young master is an annoying, ungrateful prodigal, who broke the heart of my noble mistress."
"My mother has no heart at all, Kreacher," said Sirius grimly. "She lives entirely out of resentment."
Kreacher bowed again, and then he muttered indignantly again, "Young master is not worthy to polish his mother's soles, my poor mistress, what will she say if she sees Kreacher serving the young master, ma'am?" How the Master hates him, what a disappointment he is."
"I asked what are you going to do?" Sirius said coldly, "Every time you come out to pretend to clean up, but secretly take everything to yourself, and don't let us throw it away."
"Kreacher will never take anything from the master's house." The elf muttered, "If the tapestry is thrown away, the mistress will never forgive Kreacher. The tapestry has been in this house for seven centuries. , Kreacher must keep it, Kreacher will never let the young master, and these bastards and scum destroy the tapestry."
Sirius cast a contemptuous glance, "In that case I'll destroy the tapestry. You go, Kreacher."
Kreacher didn't seem to dare to disobey Sirius' orders, but when he walked out, he gave Sirius a look full of hatred, and he kept muttering as he walked out of the room.
"Oh, my poor mistress, what will she say if she sees the house like this, her darling thrown out, she swore to deny him this son, and now he's back, and it's said he's still a Murderer, just came back from Azkaban..."
"If you keep talking, I'll really kill you!" Sirius said irritably.
Hermione pleaded, "Sirius, I think he might be confused and doesn't know we can hear him."
"It's been alone too long," said Sirius, "following some crazy orders from my mother's portrait, and fond of talking to itself, but it was a very nasty little elf before."
He rubbed his temples looking very tired, and Mrs. Weasley said, "Let's go clean up the fox first, boys. As for Sirius, I think you can go take a nap and don't tire yourself out."
"It's okay, I'll be fine after a while." Sirius waved his hand.
Finally, it was Harry who persuaded him, and he agreed to go back to his bedroom and lie down.
After Sirius left, Mrs. Weasley led everyone back to the curtain, but she stopped Camelia.
"Leave the dirty work to us, Camelia, you are a guest, so you don't have to do anything, just go to another room, but be careful not to touch anything."
Maybe Mrs. Weasley was still feeling guilty about what happened during the meal, so she was extra polite to Camelia, and at the same time, she seemed to mistake Camelia for the kind of delicate rich daughter who knew nothing about housework, It seemed that other people thought so too, and told her not to work.
Hearing what everyone said, Camelia had no choice but to back out of the room, and she stood
