Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 355 New Residence
Harry thought James was still busy looking around for clues, he didn't expect to see him so soon - and it was still at the Burrow.

This made him eager to talk to James right after dinner.

"It seems that our champion has something to discuss with us."

James, who had been chatty throughout the dinner, smiled and said, "Well, I have something to talk to him about too - come on, Harry."

They came to Ron's bedroom together, and Harry noticed that Sirius didn't get up and leave together, obviously to give them some alone time.

After the door was closed tightly, James let out a long breath. He said without waiting for Harry to ask: "We have searched everywhere we should look, but unfortunately, except for Lily's sister, we couldn't find it anywhere. New clues, she's well-hidden—and Dumbledore got so mad at me for trying to get Petunia to talk, that he threw all of us together. Called back and got us a job at the Ministry of Magic - you know what the Longbottoms used to be? Now I'm working in the Funny Products Patent Office and Sirius is assigned to the official Gobstone Club - thankfully It's not me, it's so boring in there."

Harry stared at his father blankly, he had already said everything he wanted to ask, and he couldn't say a word.

"Oh, by the way, there is also Remus." When he said this, James laughed inexplicably: "He works in the werewolf support service department, and has been busy trying to help his own kind recently, but in the end, there are no werewolves Will trust the Ministry of Magic, I didn't expect him to be so naive now, poor Remus."

Harry hesitated for a while.

"Oh." He could only cope with it like this, not knowing how to answer at all.

"There's only one?" James looked at him with a smile: "Now you don't act like you were close to people when you were a child. You were not very big back then, but every time I came back, you would greet me with a smile—"

He was caught off guard for a moment and was hugged by Harry who was bumping hard.

James raised an arm, as if he wanted to hug Harry too, but his movements were very unskilled, and in the end he just patted the shoulder of a good player like a team captain.

"I think I understand why Dumbledore is so angry. He is a person who values ​​family affection, and I don't want you to lose me because of my recklessness"

"Perhaps I also blamed me for not treating you well."
-
"Are you going?"

Mrs. Weasley, who was packing up the dishes, was stunned. She looked at Gjen and Harry who had just walked out of the bedroom in disbelief.

At this moment Harry's eyes were still red, as if he had just cried.

What's weird is that when faced with Mrs. Weasley's question, it was Sirius who answered first - he was also wearing an apron and was rolling up his sleeves to help Mrs. Weasley wash the dishes, looking a little ridiculous.

"That's the thing, Molly, didn't I just tell you that Gjeon is now working in the Department of Magical Sports—"

Mrs. Weasley questioned: "Wait a minute, didn't you just say the Patent Office for Funny Products?"

"That's also a division of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports." Sirius continued, "I know it sounds irrelevant, but that's how those people set it up."

Mrs. Weasley glanced at Mr. Weasley who was listening on the sofa - he nodded, the relationship between the two departments is indeed like this.

"So the next thing is much simpler." Sirius went on to say: "Gjean is a very grateful person. He couldn't let Mr. Ludo Bagman down, so he took the initiative to apply to be Harry Potter. Occasionally, he will help to participate in some activities organized by the Ministry of Magic, and by the way, Harry can earn a sum of money."

Mrs. Weasley still looked dissatisfied.

"On top of that," Sirius said in a low voice, "maybe—I mean maybe—it'll get Harry out of a lot of trouble and get him a big job at the Ministry right out of school—I hear That Percy is already an assistant to the Minister for Magic?"

"Oh, my dear." Mrs. Weasley came over immediately, she wiped her hands on the apron indiscriminately, and then hugged Harry tightly: "You must listen to Mr. Gazeon, you know? It’s good for you, remember not to be playful, you are always welcome here.”

Harry nodded stiffly, all the emotion in his heart disappeared.

Ron, who was sitting on the sofa and also watching this scene, suddenly leaned over to Ginny and whispered in Ginny's ear, "Look at what you've done, Harry is finally going to be kicked out by mom."

Ginny turned her head blankly.

"not me."

"It's you."

"How could it be me—wow."

"Ron Weasley!" Mrs. Weasley came roaring, "Can't you rest for a day!"

Harry felt that he had escaped from the Burrow from the battlefield. Ron originally planned to use the excuse of saying goodbye to him to escape, but was immediately dragged back by the neck by the furious Mrs. Weasley.

Carrying the scattered suitcases, he looked left and right at James and Sirius who were chatting.

"How did you manage to keep Molly from getting suspicious?"

"It's not that difficult. I've met Percy in advance, and part of his description of Molly is quite accurate-I can't believe I have such a distant relative-you don't know, Harry, me, and Molly is related by blood, but they are far away, this is the disadvantage of living in a pure-blood family, there are too many complicated relationships, but no matter where you go, you must appear to be extremely pure."

"Relax, Harry, we don't have that many rules in our house—"

"Don't the Potter family have their own family tree? I've seen it."

"Who knows, maybe it's somewhere in the vault, or maybe it was thrown away because I didn't like it when I was a child. They have always been doting on me and listened to me-I'm talking about your grandpa Grandma, Harry, it's a pity that they died a little early, but don't worry, it's all because of their age, they were already a little older when I was born."

"I've seen them." Harry said suddenly, and after seeing the surprised expression on James' face, he quickly added: "I'm talking about the Mirror of Erised, it's a very magical mirror, I look at it there There you are, Mom, and there are some people I thought I hadn’t met, but I’ve seen them very early on, and I’m just not familiar with them at all.”

James and Sirius looked at each other, and he explained with a smile: "Of course, of course you don't remember anything, when you were so old—"

"It's not as small as a Quaffle." Sirius retorted impatiently, "We should go—Harry, you should be able to adapt to Apparation, right?"

"Phantom - what?"

Before Harry could finish speaking, he saw the two men each put an arm on him, and then seemed to get into a pipe, squeezing him out of breath, sinking deeper and deeper
After an unknown amount of time, fresh air was sucked into his lungs again, and Harry bent over wheezing and panting, looking as if he was dying.

He heard someone talking in a trance.

"Welcome—welcome our champion!"

"boom!"

"The fireworks are on the wrong side, my dear."

"Sorry—boy, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, Ted, he's just not used to apparating very well, and it might take a while to recover—is Remus back?"

"Come back, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

"Don't worry about him, he's always like that."

"Sirius!"

"I, well—sorry, cousin, I'll try to enlighten him."

Harry was listening to the conversation in a daze, and he looked up to see James looking at him with concern.

"How are you feeling?"

"Still kind of gross. Where are we?"

He raised his head and scanned the surroundings, and saw a large single-family house in front of him. There was a couple standing in front of the door. The man had blond hair and a very obvious big belly, holding a flower pot in his hand.The woman has long light brown hair, and her eyes look very kind, but her hair is covered with sparkling fireworks, twinkling.

"Here you can call us by our names whatever you want." Sirius turned around and introduced: "Andromeda, my cousin, this is her husband, Ted Tonks. You know Nymphadora Tonks? They are her parents—is she back too?"

"I just came back." Andromeda said, "I'm probably preparing supper for myself."

When Harry was brought in front of the Tonks couple, he said awkwardly, "Hello."

"Don't be nervous, little guy." Ted smiled boldly: "How many good things happened this day, some people are still alive, and the champion of England is going to live in our house again - you can stay as long as you like."

Andromeda's reaction was as cordial as Mrs. Weasley's: "If you need anything, just tell me. Don't worry, Dumbledore has already explained everything to us, and there won't be any problems."

James carried the suitcase in one hand and led Harry into the house with the other. He explained as he walked: "Accommodation is a problem. Some places are not safe. For example, the old house of me and Sirius is not acceptable. There are exposures." But here is different, Nymphadora is an Auror of the Ministry of Magic, she set up her parents' house very secluded, plus Dumbledore to help, and Sirius is also willing to come here to live—in short, so that there will be no one to take care of you when we go to work during the day.”

"I can take care of myself," said Harry muffled.

"Yeah," James said with a smile, "I certainly don't doubt that, especially after I've met the Dursleys, God knows how you've been through all these years - well, that's it. "

As James said, he opened a door on the second floor, revealing the appearance of the room inside, which was very warmly furnished, with a small broom toy in the corner, and many photos around it—all Harry’s appearance when he was a child, compared to now. Much smaller, and without that lightning scar on his forehead.

"It's also the first time for me to do this kind of thing." James welcomed the stunned Harry in and said, "After arranging it back and forth several times, I simply arranged it according to the style of the old house-it's actually very simple, just need Just make the crib bigger, I was going to put in a bigger crib, but then it's going to embarrass you in front of your friends - you've got girlfriends now."

It could be seen that James had been hiding this question and couldn't bear to ask it, but he still asked it now.

"How is your relationship with Qiu?"

"It's okay." Harry replied in a strange tone: "Did you teach the Dursleys a lesson because you saw that cupboard? It's also because of this reason that Dumbledore taught you a lesson?"

"Nice counterattack." James said indifferently: "Actually, it's nothing. At most, he did what Hagrid did to that little piggy. I'm not as impulsive as your ancient magic professor. Killing whoever doesn't say anything - he's really scary. By the way, has he contacted you recently?"

It seems that James is also concerned about this issue.

"Well, there are some."

Harry thought about it for a while, and it seemed that Professor Highmore rarely prevented himself from revealing his secrets to others, and if he didn't say it, he acquiesced.

So he told part of Professor Haimer's instructions.

When he heard that Toby was going to let Ron learn about devils, James pouted and shook his head.

But when hearing the news about Harry——

"Professor Haimer said that perhaps my soul and Haierbo's souls were inseparable long ago, so he asked me if I planned to become the master of Death—"

"Merlin! What the hell is he going to do to my child? No, I have to find him now—"

"what?"

Harry stared blankly at the distraught James.

"Don't go." He quickly stopped the other party, but his strength was not enough at all, so he could only be dragged away by the other party.

"This is just a method, if it works?"

"No, the real way is to transfer you - I should have done that long ago."

"But what if Dumbledore agrees?"

"Huh?" James looked back at Harry: "Dumbledore agreed?"

"Uh..." Harry didn't know, Professor Highmore didn't say anything.

"Sirius!" James yelled suddenly, "Follow me to Hogwarts! Call Remus!"

"Are you sure?" Sirius downstairs asked while biting a sandwich, "Go now?"

Remus was also in the living room, eating the same sandwich Tonks had made, and occasionally complaining about his troubles at work.

"Those werewolves don't trust me. They think I'm a spy for the Ministry of Magic. They don't believe that I'm a werewolf."

"It's not easy." Tonks, who was sitting opposite him, said carelessly, "Wouldn't it be nice for you to stay together during the full moon?"

"But that would just make them think it was another Ministry of Magic operation." Lupine sighed. "It's still a special operation to catch werewolves."

"How is it possible?" Tonks frowned. "I haven't been notified yet. Aren't Aurors involved in this operation?"

"There's no such thing as action!" Lupine said helplessly.

Tonks opened his eyes wide in surprise: "So there are really wizards more powerful than Aurors? I knew Dumbledore would not leave Scrimgeour alone. Did he set up a new department? You Did you join too?"

Lupine opened his mouth.

"Wait for me!" he yelled hastily, getting up. "Wait for me, James, and I'll go too—anywhere!"
