Admiral of Hogwarts

"I don't understand why Sirius doesn't give the house elf his freedom," Hermione asked a few minutes later, using a dropper and measuring cup to prepare the potion.

"You see, they hate each other. And the house elf can't do anything. What's the point of having the house elf in the room like this?"

"No way, this place belongs to the secret base of the Order of the Phoenix." Veneto said while grinding several medicinal powders with a stone pestle and mortar. "He knows too much about the Order's secrets."

"Sirius is very merciful now. At least for us, preventive executions are generally carried out for such hostile beings who hold too many secrets."

"Especially since you just heard that this house elf was poisoned by the so-called pure-blood theory. In this case, if you drive him out after serving this family all his life, it will be no different from killing him."

"Oh, this is really a bad thing." Hermione sighed and shook her head, then continued the work at hand.

Although it is obviously much easier to use alchemy than holding a broom and rag, it is not that easy to clean a room on the first floor in one go.

Therefore, even during lunch, Hugo and the others just ate some sandwiches and pumpkin juice to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, he is not the kind of person who pays attention to appetite, so he doesn't care about this situation. .

However, when the time reached around 4:30 in the afternoon, Hugo had to stop after cleaning the last room. This was not because he couldn't bear it, but because he ran out of raw materials.

Compared with ordinary spellcasting, alchemy often requires a variety of materials to be used. Hugo obviously did not expect to have to clear so much space when he came here, and naturally it was impossible to bring enough materials with him.

"Sorry, we may not be able to continue working until tomorrow." Hugo said to Mrs. Weasley who happened to come up to get something. , "There is still one room left on the third floor, and I have run out of casting materials."

"It's okay, you have done a good job." Mrs. Weasley said after taking a look at the cleaned rooms. “This is already more work than we do in a week.

"So you can rest for a while now and wait until we all have dinner together in the evening. As for the things you want, write me a list and I will help you buy them all when I go shopping in Diagon Alley tomorrow." "

So in the next hour or so, Hugo and the others went to the second floor to meet with everyone, and then chatted about how they had spent the previous few weeks of vacation.

"Our family has moved here since the beginning of the holiday." Speaking of her holiday experience, Ginny's face was full of unhappiness. "I haven't been out much since then. Apart from doing homework, I am busy with various housework."

"Of course, there are some interesting things in this old house." Fred said from the side. "Although the house elves in this place are elusive and cause some trouble from time to time. But there are a lot of secrets hidden inside."

"Yes, this is the ancestral home of a pure-blood family." George nodded and said. "There are a lot of troubles and it may bring a lot of surprises."

"I remember that your Weasley family is also a pure-blood family." Hermione suddenly whispered from the side at this time. "Don't you have things like Sirius's at your house?"

"Of course not, the Black family is the top family in the wizarding world." Ron said at this time. "And our family can only be said to be a very ordinary pure-blood family."

"Okay, ordinary purebloods." Hugo sneered, although the Weasley family was indeed a bit poor, so poor that the children had to buy second-hand clothes. But what he can be sure of is that the most important inheritance of this family is still there.

Because whether it is the car made by Mr. Weasley himself or the endless joke products produced by the Weasley twins, sufficient knowledge of magic and magic is required to make them.

"By the way, how were you two before your summer vacation?" Harry suddenly asked Hugo at this time. "Weasley and the others have been staying here, and I can't leave my aunt's house too far -"

"Because our parents needed to go to the East to deal with some business matters, so a few of us lived together at Miss Hood's house." Hugo said with a shrug. "I also stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere."

"Alas -" After hearing what Hugo said, several people present sighed. After all, for these young people, it feels really bad to stay at home during the holidays.

Perhaps because everyone was stuck in the room during the summer vacation, everyone present quickly started chatting through this language of common interest.

"I see that a lot of people came in after lunch time. Can you tell me what this Order of the Phoenix does?" Harry suddenly asked after everyone chatted for a while.

After hearing their question, Hugo and the others also focused their attention on the Weasleys opposite, because although they knew roughly what the Order of the Phoenix was, they were equally curious about how it actually ran.

"This is a secret society." Ginny said after looking at her brothers. "Dumbledore is responsible for it and was founded by him. They are all the people who fought against the mysterious man last time. As for the people inside, ——”

"Wait a minute!" Just when Ginny said the second sentence, Harry suddenly stood up and shook his hand. "Don't tell me this part yet. You know, I'm here——"

"Then I'll skip this paragraph first." Both Ginny and Ron knew about Harry's problem, so they both realized why Harry wanted to avoid this paragraph, so they immediately talked about it without going into specific details. part of the situation.

"Although the Order of the Phoenix would not allow us to attend their meetings, we heard a very vague part of the information through the telescopic ears invented by Fred and George." Ron said at this time.

"Telescopic-" Harry showed a puzzled expression.

"Telescopic ears, yeah. But we had to stop using them recently because mom found out and got really mad. So we had to hide them so she wouldn't throw them in the trash," Fred explained. .

"But before Mum finds out what's going on, we can put them to good use. We know that some members of the Order are following the exposed Death Eaters and keeping an eye on their whereabouts, you know-"

"Some of them are recruiting more people into the Order -" Ginny said. "In addition, we will also contact some other organizations or manpower to do certain things."

"I know that." Harry nodded. "Because Sirius once went out for a few days. He said he was going to Southern Europe to discuss alliance matters with an organization."

"This has something to do with some of my teachers." Veneto interrupted at this time. "A few of them accidentally saved Harry last time, so the principal had contacted them before."

"Let me tell you where did you learn so much knowledge? It turns out you have a teacher!" At this time, several Weasleys present showed expressions of sudden realization.
