HP Disguise Magus

Chapter 52 Chapter 52

The cleaning work did not become easy and pleasant because of Harry's joining. Amy and the others sighed and began to deal with the large living room on the second floor the next day.The living room had a very Slytherin feel to it, with high ceilings and olive green walls covered with dirty tapestries.The floor was covered with a carpet whose original pattern could no longer be seen. Every time someone stepped on the carpet, a small puff of dust would be raised. The yellow-green velvet curtains were buzzing, as if there were many invisible creatures flying inside. bee.Amy is already familiar with this kind of movement, and she can imagine how many vicious girls are hiding behind it.

Sure enough, the first task Mrs. Weasley assigned to them was to clean the foxes from the curtains.Harry, Ron, and the twin brothers were whispering on the side. I don't know if they were discussing the promising joke store of the twins. Although they only have mail order business at present, they were discussing the news that members of the Order of the Phoenix revealed to them at dinner last night. their news.

Yes, Harry's arrival improved their treatment, or it was an opportunity, they finally heard some definite news and the current situation from members of the Order of the Phoenix, as well as a weapon that Voldemort was secretly looking for, this is Sirius last revealed.Amy thought it was the way to beat Harry, about the prophecy ball.

In any case, cleaning was no fun, and they spent the whole morning cleaning up the foxes, and after lunch they went to the living room again.Amy really hoped the afternoon's work would be more interesting.

In the afternoon their job was to clear out the dusty glass-doored cabinets on either side of the mantelpiece, which were filled with all manner of oddities: a collection of rusty short swords, animal paws, a coiled snakeskin. , and a mass of dull, black silver boxes, engraved with characters they could not understand, and the most unpleasant thing was a decorative crystal bottle with a large opal embedded in the stopper. Filled with scarlet liquid.Mrs. Weasley prepared a big snakeskin bag for them to put the cleaned up things in.

The job is a bit more fun than spitting on the drapes, but it's also a bit dangerous, since many things in the cabinet seem reluctant to leave their dusty shelves.Sirius had been bitten so badly by a silver snuffbox that within seconds the bitten hand had formed an unsightly crust, as though wearing a rough brown glove.

"It's all right," he said, looking at the hand with interest, and then gently tapped with his wand, and the skin on the hand returned to normal. "It must be sarcoma powder."

He threw the snuffbox into the bag reserved for the refuse in the cupboard.A moment later George, carefully wrapping his hands in a cloth, slipped the box into his pocket, which was already full of foxes.

They found a particularly ugly silver utensil, resembling a pair of tweezers with many legs.As soon as Harry picked it up, it scrambled up Harry's arm like a spider and tried to pierce his skin.Sirius snatched it up and slapped it to death with a book called Born Noble: A Wizarding Genealogy.There was also a music box, as soon as the mainspring was wound, it faintly played the ominous music of Ding Ding Dongdong, and then they all found themselves inexplicably weak and drowsy, but fortunately Ginny was still clear, hurry Close the lid.

Then--

"What's this?" Ron was holding a thin gold chain with an egg-sized locket hanging from it, shaking it back and forth.It is inlaid with emeralds in a gorgeous, snake-shaped "S", shining with fine green light.

Amy looked over from a distance, her heart seemed to miss a beat.

"Try to see if it can be opened?" Harry took it and broke it hard, but of course it couldn't be opened.

"Maybe there is some kind of mechanism," Hermione looked over and over in her hand, but she didn't have a clue.

They took turns trying, Sirius looked at them and smiled, "Probably an inconspicuous one in my dear mother's pile of jewelry..." His men kept throwing strange things into the bag.

At last it was Amy who felt her fingers tremble as she took the locket from Ginny.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then exaggerated, "It's beautiful, Sirius! Reminds me of the necklace you gave me for Christmas! So cute!"

She looked up at Sirius expectantly with a smile on her head, and sure enough, her cousin did not disappoint her, "Take it if you like it—but I'd better check it out first..."

Amy handed it to Sirius nervously.He looked over and over again, and his frowning made Amy's palms sweat.

Finally, Sirius shrugged, "There should be no problem, why don't you try wearing it? Now it's yours."

"Oh, I love you, Sirius," Amy stretched out her arms to hug Sirius, and he laughed and hugged Amy in a circle.

Amy almost cried with joy, she worked so hard to be a house-elf for over a month!Fight against all kinds of magical pests with weird personalities in the wizarding world every day!for what?For this moment, put the locket in your bag!Even the professor has to step aside!

She carefully put the heavy locket in her pocket, ignored Ron and Harry's winks, and hurried back to the room to put it in her handbag, she didn't want to stay with such an evil thing all the time Son.She also cast a spell on the handbag the way the professor taught her.It screamed loudly and stuck in place no matter who moved it but her.Or maybe this is what Sirius' mom used to protect her own picture frame.

Then Amy returned to the living room in a relaxed suit. Harry and Sirius were studying the huge family tree of the Black family, and Amy also walked over, just in time to hear Sirius talking about her mother being expelled from the Black family, " I didn't expect Amy and Tonks to be your nieces," Harry said in disbelief, "although I've heard Amy say it before."

"Yeah," said Sirius with a smile, "I have to say again, like a mother, like a daughter, and it was a neat job catching Peter."

Amy listened to this sentence with a smile, and then joined Hermione and Ginny in cleaning up.

Several times Kreacher had sneaked into the room trying to take something away under his loincloth; and each time he was caught he uttered a number of very nasty swear words.When Sirius snatched a large gold ring engraved with the crest of the Black family from his hand, Kreacher was so angry that he shed tears, walked out of the room sobbing softly, and cursed Sirius with words he had never heard before. .Amy was glad it didn't see her take the locket away, otherwise she really wasn't sure if she could hide it smoothly.She dared not try the magic power of the elf.

"It's my father's," said Sirius, throwing the ring into the bag, "Kreacher isn't as loyal to him as he is to my mother, but I saw him kiss an old pair of my father's trousers last week. .”

Amy looked at Kreacher sympathetically, thinking how she could tell Kreacher the news if Professor Dumbledore destroyed the Horcrux.

Amy's good mood lasted for two days, and then, I don't know whether it was good or bad, Amy and the professor were caught by Tonks in the foyer.

"You, you, you—let her go!" Tonks pointed his wand at the professor, screaming angrily.Then, the awakened portrait of Mrs. Black started screaming and cursing as well, with Lupine beside her, surprised and wry.

"See you next time, Severus," Amy said slowly, straightening the skirts of the professor's clothes. Merlin, they didn't do anything but hug, and Amy rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Amy—" Tonks yelled menacingly.

"Calm down, Tonks," said the professor, turning around unnaturally, almost drowning out Mrs Black's screams.Then he flicked his wand, and Mrs. Black's screaming stopped abruptly.Although this kind of thinking is not good, she kind of wants to use this trick on her sister...

"Come with me," Tonks pulled her into the storage room next to him without any explanation, and a burst of dust was stirred up, and Amy felt that the dust fell on her face.

"What's going on!" Tonks' hair stood up at the tip, and the pink color slowly turned to deep purple.

"Dear sister, the last time I saw your hair turn so blindingly pink was in your fourth year," said Amy, unfazed, "although I don't quite remember that Hufflepuff's hair." Boy's name," she said as she looked at Tonks, she was slowly calming down, her hair color was slowly changing back to pink, and she even planned to develop redder. "What's going on here?"

"Now we're talking about your problem!" Tonks waved his wand at Amy angrily, and the messy shoes on the shelf next to him fell all over the floor.

"Calm down, calm down," Amy quickly calmed down her sister's hand waving her wand, lest the two of them be hit by the debris in the storage room.Amy has a lot of experience of being hurt like this. "We haven't chatted for a long time, dear sister, would you like to talk to me about each other's dynamics?" Amy tried to wink at her sister, hoping to impress her.

"There's nothing to talk about, I'll take you home right away," Tonks said resolutely.

"No—" Amy was also determined.

The two confronted each other.Amy didn't know her current situation, but she felt that her hair was about to stand up.

"Why? I don't understand. Why did you fall in love with him?" Tonks broke down and lost. "When did this happen? How should I explain to my parents?"

"Why not?" Amy retorted, "Severus is very nice, I believe you will like him in the future."

Tonks looked in disbelief as he was hit by a rebound of his own spell. "How big is the age gap between the two of you? And you are not yet an adult!"

"I'm going to be an adult in just over a year," Amy retorted, "Now tell me who you like?"

Tonks seemed to be under the Silence spell this time.Her face was red. "It's none of your business," Tonks managed to find his voice.

"Oh—" Amy raised her voice, "Then my business has nothing to do with you, hmph."

"Ah——" Seeing that Tonks was about to tangle to death, and the shelf behind her seemed to sense her emotions, it was shaking slightly and was about to fall down. Amy hurriedly pulled her sister to the door.Then the two sisters saw the professor and Lupine standing on each side. Professor Lupine lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Amy saw that Tonks's face turned red. In order to prevent her sister from exploding in place, Amy kindly wanted her to calm down by herself, "Professor Lupine," Amy told her in a relatively relaxed mood. The future brother-in-law said hello, and glanced at Tonks, um, his face turned even redder...it didn't seem to achieve the effect of calming down.

"Amy, just call me Remus," said Lupine, as gentle as ever, but the bitterness on his face now was really sad.

"Remus," Amy said kindly, "I'm sorry I didn't have time to say hello to you just now."

"Don't worry about it," Lupine glanced at them, "Well, I think I'd better go to the kitchen to see if I need help." He left in a hurry without waiting for their reaction.

Tonks also regained her composure, or became even more uneasy. She glanced at the direction Lupine was leaving, and Amy turned to the professor, "Why don't you leave, won't it delay your business?"

"I'm worried that you will be hurt by the troll Tonks," Snape said slowly, "Maybe Tonks has been with Gryffindor for a long time, and he has infected Gryffindor with his recklessness and ignorance." ?”

Amy smiled and stared at the professor, "Oh, what a coincidence, I'm a Gryffindor too," what about you, Professor, Amy thought playfully.

Amy bet the professor read between the lines, because the mocking expression on his face froze.

"Goodbye, Miss Gryffindor," Snape walked up to Amy, and glanced at Tonks. She was in a daze and didn't know what she was thinking. The professor tapped Amy's forehead, opened the door and left, walking briskly leaked his mood.

Amy took her sister to help in the kitchen.Lupine, wand at his fingertips, was cleaning potatoes for Mrs. Weasley.Sister Amira sat down at the table and brought her a cup of black tea.

Tonks didn't have time to drink, so he pulled Amy, who was going to get another biscuit, and pressed her to sit down, and asked in a low voice, "We were talking in the room just now, did Snape hear you outside?"

When did you start to care about the professor's feelings, Amy complained in her heart, probably because she cared about the other person outside the door, "I should be able to hear you, your voice is quite loud," Amy said maliciously.

Tonks slammed his head on the table, with a thump that startled Amy, Mrs Weasley and Lupine as well.

"It's all right," Amy said to the two of them, Mrs. Weasley continued to make dough pie suspiciously, and Lu Ping continued to wash the vegetables expressionlessly.

"Oh, stupid, stupid," murmured Tonks.Amy sympathizes with her sister very much, she must have said something wrong, who is older, who?Hey, whose heart did you hurt?
