HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter [-] Trimming ([-])

"Well--"

Harry clutched his forehead and opened his eyes, trying to sit up, but failed.

"Let's lie down. If you want to get up, you have to be this afternoon at the earliest." An walked into the room with the box, opened the box, and began to prepare the medicine.

"Ann? How do you—"

"I came here last night, anyway." Ann said, reaching out to poke Harry's arm.

"Ow!" Harry yelled, pulling his arms back.

"It still hurts? What kind of pain is it?" An asked, continuing to prepare the medicine.

"It just hurts—"

"A patient like you is the most difficult to deal with." An said with disgust, "Is it a sharp pain or a dull pain? Is the pain sharp?"

"You poke me, of course it stings—" Harry said, clutching his gauze-wrapped arm.

"Oh, then it's all right. Drink it." Ann handed a cup of the foul-smelling brown potion to Harry.

Harry took it and sniffed it.

"If you don't want to drink, give it to me." Ann said.

Harry quickly drank it in one gulp, he felt that Ann was not in a good mood this time.But after drinking it, he immediately regretted it. The potion smelled like rotten vegetables, and now he felt a strong sense of nausea.

"It's not good." Ann said and handed Harry a bottle of water.

Harry took a swig of water.

"Two news about you, one good and one bad. Which would you like to hear first?" Ann said, "Or tell me first what you dreamed about last night?"

Harry's face paled instantly.

"I—" the water bottle was held tightly by Harry, "I dreamed about how Voldemort killed my parents..."

Ann raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

"I have seen all the process...Without the protection of the Fidelity Curse, it is very easy to enter my house..."

"Forget it, I won't ask. What happened to the snake yesterday?"

"Snake? Bathilda was the snake in disguise. She was there, waiting for us to go. You-Know-Who left it in Godric's Hollow. He knew I would go back. It's a pity we didn't react, and we didn't kill it." Die it, 'cause then he came—ah! Ann, I saw it last night, I saw who the thief was, I saw him in a book in Umbridge's office at the Ministry of Magic, he Got a picture with Dumbledore! The Life and Lies of Dumbledore by Rita Skeeter!"

"I got his picture!" Harry exclaimed. "Where is it?" He fumbled in his pocket.

"Don't look for it, it should have fallen where it used to be. Ron cleaned out your pockets and there was nothing but a wand," Ann said.

"But this?" Another terrible thought occurred to Harry, "Would he be too?"

"Maybe we know maybe we don't," Ann said, "but if it happens, we can't change anything now, we can only accept it."

Both were silent for a while.

"Shall I go and bring you breakfast?" Ann broke the silence.

"Okay." Harry nodded.

"Wait, Ann. What was the bad news and the good news you just said?"

"Uh—are you sure you need to know now?"

"Didn't you say that something happened, we can only accept it?" Harry smiled wryly, "I'll hear the bad news first."

"As expected of the 'Savior of the World', okay." Ann turned and opened the drawer, "You have to be mentally prepared, here, your wand is broken."

The holly and phoenix-feather wand was nearly broken in two.A flimsy phoenix feather held the two pieces together, and the wood was completely broken.Harry took the wand from Ann, carefully protecting a wounded animal, his mind blank.

"Yes? Can it be fixed?" Harry said, staring at the wand in his hand.

"Sorry, as far as I know, broken wands cannot be repaired."

"Well, what about the good news?"

"The good news is that while I couldn't fix it, I found that the inner core was still intact. Can I get a mid-level wandmaker to make you one of the same material? Or make a new one? You Choice? Certainly not as good as what Mr. Ollivander made."

"Can I continue to use holly for the wand casing?" Harry asked, looking up.

"It should be possible, but the wood may not be so old." An said.

"Then I'll choose the same material." Harry handed over his wand.

Ann took the broken wand and nodded.

"I'll have to meet with him before I can tell you when you can get it." Ann said, "But you need a spare wand during this period, and I'll buy one for you when I find time."

Harry nodded mechanically.

"I know this wand has spent a lot of time with you, almost all of your battles with it. So, I promise, I'll try to find the best wandmaker I can find right now."

"Thank you, Ann."

"I'll get you breakfast." Ann finished and walked out of the room.Harry lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.He felt empty and his head was clouded.

After delivering breakfast to Harry, Ann walked out of the room and ran into Ron who had just opened the door and came out.He looked much better than last night.

"You're up? That's great." Ann said, "I've made breakfast and it's on the dining table. I also wrote a note and left the medicine for you three today on the table."

Glancing at her watch, Ann said, "At eight o'clock, you will deliver breakfast to Hermione. Give her this stack of documents."

Putting the backpack on, Ann asked Ron, "Do you know instant noodles?"

Ron nodded, "Just boil hot water and soak noodles for 3 minutes?"

"Yes. You can eat instant noodles at noon. I will definitely not come back at noon." Putting on the gray robe, An instructed, "Hermione's legs, tell her to rest as much as possible."

"Are you leaving now?" Ron asked.

"Yes." Ann put on the glasses, "You guys should mainly rest today. Or analyze the information you brought from Godric's Hollow. I'm leaving—"

"Okay." Ron nodded.

The sun is already in the middle of the sky, and it's another sunny day in London today, but there is also wind, which blows through the streets and picks up scraps of paper next to the trash cans.

Occasionally a few pedestrians appear on the street, but at this time most people stay at home or eat lunch in restaurants.

"The meeting is over." Skool's deep and calm voice sounded in the quiet conference room.

All of a sudden, the meeting room seemed to come alive, and a dozen or so wizards immediately stood up and walked out the door.Skool sat at the main seat, and was still flipping through the contents of the meeting that the magic shorthand pen shorthanded just now.

The phone in the robe pocket vibrated.

Skool put down the materials in his hand, locked the door of the conference room with his magic wand, took out the Rubik's Cube, let it fly into the air, and then took out his mobile phone.

Missed call: Girlfriend

Smiling, Scull put on the hood, took off the earrings and ring, turned the chair, faced the wall, and dialed back.

It rang once, and the other party picked it up.

"Ann—" Hermione's voice.

"What? Just miss me?"

"Yes, I miss you very much." Hermione said, "But I called to monitor you. Did you have a good lunch? You stayed up late last night, so you won't rest today?"

"Well, I'm going to eat." Ann said, taking out a silver bag and playing with it in his hand habitually, "I'll probably take a lunch break later. It's okay, I'll be refreshed with a cup of refreshment—"

"But it's not good to drink too much refreshing potion." Hermione said, "I've read the materials you sent and filled out my comments. You can give me more materials this afternoon, and I'll help you read them."

"You just finished reading?" An couldn't help being a little surprised, "Have you sorted it out?"

"Well. That's right. I also found a somewhat strange document from it."

"Tsk tsk, Hermione." Ann said with a smile, "I think you have the talent for politics in the future."

"You said that last time." Hermione said with a smile, "Then when are you coming back today?"

"It's five o'clock in the afternoon. I'll bring back some more materials to be processed. I'll leave this to my girlfriend, and I'll just take a lazy nap."

"Okay," said Hermione cheerfully, "I'll wait until you come back at five."

"Hmm. How's your leg? Is it better?" Ann asked, "Don't get out of bed if you can!"

"Well, I remember. Then you go to eat quickly."

"Okay, bye then, I'll hang up first."

"See you in the afternoon."

An hung up the phone with a smile on her face, put the phone and coins in her pocket, put on the ring and earrings, put away the Rubik's Cube, stood up and stretched.

Time for lunch.

Throughout the afternoon, Moody, Mundungus, and Skur, who had taken Polyjuice Potion, ran back and forth in the black market in London's wizarding world, drank a lot of wine, said a lot of good things, met a lot of people, and scattered A lot of gold, and finally got a lot of help and news.

"Okay, Moody, you go back to your post." Scull said, sitting behind a chair in the office of the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, propping his head on his hands.

"Are you okay?" Moody asked with rare concern.

After waving his hand, Scull said, "I drank a lot of sober up beforehand, and the group of them had to do this. You should go back first."

Moody didn't say any more and left. In fact, he is not suitable for caring about others. However, seeing Skool working so hard to protect so many people and the Order of the Phoenix, he remembered when he was young when he was an Auror. .

Letting out a long breath, Scull cast a cleansing spell on himself.The smell of alcohol dissipated.

Opening a document on the table, Skool frowned.The pattern and emblem on it are very familiar, silver shield, elephant.

"Fucking greedy—" Skool cursed.

"I still have to send it to Dinah first, to see if there is any news from the family." Scull murmured, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and stopped when he was about to make a call.

Or use a small wooden sign.

Temporary, something, late, eight o'clock, back.

After a while, the wooden sign returned a message.

OK, how about dinner?

With a smile on his face, Skool hurriedly replied the message.

Back, eat, pay attention, legs.

it is good.

Putting the small wooden sign in his pocket, Scull called Roland Manor.

You can't use owls, you can't use the fireplace, the Muggle world's telephone, the people from the Ministry of Magic never thought of checking it. Of course, there is another reason, they think it is rubbish.

The call was connected, it was Gu Ke.

"Hello, Coco?"

"Little master, good afternoon, the master will not be back until seven o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, I'll be there at six o'clock. Get ready, see you at the old place."

A corner of the forest in Roland Manor.

Skool Apparated.

Gu Ke stepped forward and bowed slightly to Skool.

"Gu Ke, let's go."

Inside Roland Castle.

Skool Apparated with Guko's hand.

Putting the glasses, earrings, and rings into the pockets, An took off the robe and backpack and handed them to Gu Ke.

"How's the castle?" Ann asked.

"There are two other people watching outside, the fireplace and the owl are being watched." Gu Ke replied.

"Hmph, funny."

Ann walked towards the kitchen, "Is Le Ke in the kitchen?"

"Yes." Gu Ke said, "Does the young master want to cook himself?"

"Well, it's been a long time since I cooked for Aunt Dinah. But I'm leaving at eight o'clock, so my things should be put in the dining room, not in the bedroom."

"Okay." Gu Ke bowed slightly.

At seven o'clock, Roland Castle, the living room, a burst of green smoke rose from the fireplace, and Dinah Roland appeared in front of the fireplace with a cold face.

As soon as he stood firm, he threw himself into Dinah's arms by himself.

"Xiao An? Why are you here?"

As if the ice had been melted in an instant, Dinah smiled and rubbed Ann's hair.

Taking off Dinah's bag and coat, Ann handed them to Gu Ke who was standing aside.

Holding Dinah's arm, Ann led Dinah to the dining room, and said with a smile, "Of course I miss my dear Aunt Dinah—"

"Okay, your mess hasn't been settled yet." Dinah pinched Ann's face, "Tell me, what's the matter when you come back?"

"I have something to do!" Ann said, "But let's talk about it after you finish eating. I'll cook for you."

"Okay." Dinah let Ann drag herself to the restaurant.

Asking Dinah to sit on the seat, An Lidao rubbed Dinah's shoulders appropriately.

"The steak is really well cooked. What's in the sauce that makes it so special?" Dinah asked.

"A little sesame paste, I haven't tried it before, I put some on a temporary basis, and found that the taste is not bad, it will be your favorite taste, so I put it in."

"It really suits my taste. You don't want it?"

"No, I'm leaving at eight o'clock."

"How is the Order of the Phoenix recently? The Ministry of Magic has stepped up its crackdown on the Order of the Phoenix recently! Be careful."

"It's okay. I will. Aaron is the vice president, and he has real-time updates from the Ministry of Magic."

"He does have quite a lot of friends, and he can provide a lot of help in this regard. Was the Order of the Phoenix responsible for the movement of the Ministry of Magic last time?"

"Hey, how's it going? Exciting?"

"It's okay, you should put more explosive bombs or something, the sculpture in the visitor's hall is stupid."

"Haha - well, if there is a similar event next time, blow up the sculpture first."

"Forget it, the defense of the Ministry of Magic is now a few levels higher than in the past, and it is not so easy for you to infiltrate."

Ann shrugged.

Dinah chatted with Ann easily, and finished the happiest meal in so many days.

After Dinah finished eating, Ann took out the documents she had sorted out in the afternoon.

"I got the news on the black market this afternoon. Does the family know about it?" Ann handed the document to Dinah.

Dinah took the file, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and finally her whole face turned completely cold.

"Is the source reliable?" Dinah asked gravely.

"It should be reliable. This person, I became the president of the Order of the Phoenix and met after the implementation of the stratification system. He has some unique skills, and he can get news that others can't. Besides being a little good at drinking, fighting, and gambling, He is a person who will help you with money. Doesn’t the family know about this?”

Dinah put the file on the table and rubbed her temples.

"There is really no news. The Ministry of Magic has strengthened surveillance on our company's business dealings with major families. If I were not still sitting in this position, the situation would be worse than it is now."

Ann walked behind Dinah, gently helped Dinah rub her temples, and asked, "Is it troublesome? Do you want me—"

"It's okay, Xiao An. This information is very precious." Dinah leaned back on the back of the chair and closed her eyes. It’s going to take a few teeth to fall out, and now that we have the news in advance, it’s not so easy for us to sit still.”

"That's right, if you want to eat us, you have to weigh the weight." An Yizheng said.

Dinah smiled, opened her eyes, and pinched Ann's face with her backhand.

"Xiao An is great!"

"It's always been great!" Ann said with a smile, "I told you I can protect you. Last time I saved Aaron once, hee hee, he was so touched—"

"Xiao An has grown up." Dinah stood up, said emotionally, and rubbed Ann's hair, "I have also grown taller. I remember when I first saw you, you were only so big—"

Dinah gestured, "It's a little bigger than a newborn puppy."

Ann puffed up her cheeks, "What kind of metaphor is this?"

"I've only seen two newborn fur babies," Dinah said, "and then I saw you again, and you were also small and short, much smaller than your peers—"

Ann shrugged, "Well, I admit this, probably because I ate less when I was a child, and I was a little malnourished—"

Dana suddenly remembered what Umbridge had said to herself, and what Aaron had said to herself back then. She rubbed Ann's hair and couldn't help asking, "Xiao An, I didn't pick you up in time, and I didn't Do you blame me for visiting you often?"

Ann shook her head, stepped forward and hugged Dana.

"No wonder, really. You and Aaron have brought everything I have now. I like the way I am. I have the ability to do a lot of things. Although sometimes I complain, but generally I Very happy."

Dinah smiled softly and patted Ann on the back.

"Dinah, you are very important. I will work hard to protect important people."

"Okay, Ann," Dana said, "but you have to be careful, and I will try my best to protect what is worth protecting."

Gu Ke apparated in the restaurant, and he bowed slightly to the two of them, "Master, it's already 55:[-]."

"Then I'll go first, Dinah." An Yang smiled, "I'll come back and cook for you next time."

"Okay. Arrive safely, remember to call me back." Dana said.

Ann nodded.Gu Ke handed her all of Ann's things, and then Skool took Gu Ke's hand.Apparation came to the edge of the forest.

"Goodbye, Guke." Skul finished, Apparating and leaving.
