Chapter 173 Order of the Phoenix (2)

After Snape sent her to Grimmauld Place and left, Jane pushed the door open with her suitcase.She walked very carefully, for fear that something terrible would suddenly pop up from the side and bite her.The ambient light wasn't good, it was gray and it felt worse than Snape's house.Then she heard a rustling sound, and a row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the wall came on automatically, casting a dangling, unreal light on the peeling wallpaper and polished blooms in the long, gloomy hallway. Line of carpet.A cobweb chandelier shimmered overhead, and age-blackened portraits hung crookedly on the walls.The chandelier and the candelabra on a rickety table nearby were in the shape of large snakes, and Jane guessed that the owner of the house must have been a Slytherin.She couldn't help but think of what Snape said to her before entering the door. Jane boldly guessed that this might be the Black family, and Sirius once said that everyone in their family was Slytherin, only he was a different kind.

While Jane was still looking at the house, a door was suddenly opened.Mrs. Weasley hurried over from inside, and when she saw Jane, she gave her an affectionate hug: "It's good to see you, Jane."

"Hello, Mrs. Weasley." Jane raised her lips slightly.

"Ron and Hermione are upstairs, I think you must have something to say to them. I'm still cleaning the kitchen, it's too bad in here." Mrs. Weasley led Jane through the dilapidated door Jane noticed that the curtains on the side of the door were full of moth marks, which made her a little creepy.Mrs. Weasley walked in front of her and led her up the stairs: "Hermione came over the day before yesterday, I think you can live with her first, unless we clear out a bedroom today. But I I don't think it will happen so soon, the kitchen has made me feel that I have no skills."

Mrs. Weasley led her to the second floor, and she opened the first room on the left, and Hermione and Ron were inside.

"Jane!" Hermione rushed up excitedly and gave her a hug.

"Hello, Jane." Ron greeted Jane.

Mrs. Weasley helped them close the door, and Jane patted Hermione on the shoulder: "Hello."

"Ron and I were wondering when you'd be back - we thought you were traveling abroad." Hermione's face turned red, and she looked excited.

Jane put her suitcase on the ground: "Yes, I was on my way to the airport, and I was notified by Professor Dumbledore."

"Oh, he's just in time," Ron sighed.

Jane thought for a while, and replied, "Yes, it's very timely."

After a few people chatted for a while, Hermione took her to a house opposite.

This room was a bit larger than the one Ron lived in, and it had a window sill.There were two beds with some old blankets on them.There was also a wardrobe on one side of the room, with a desk next to it.

Jane didn't put her clothes in the closet, but put her suitcase at the foot of the bed.Then she opened the suitcase and took out a Turkish handmade blanket, which looked very delicate and beautiful.

"You brought this here specially?" Hermione watched in surprise as Jane took off the original blanket, folded it and placed it on the table.

"I bought it when I was traveling." Jane took out a thin mattress from the suitcase while talking.

"How many things did you put in the suitcase!" Hermione looked at Jane's suitcase in amazement.

While making the bed, Jane answered her words: "Because I sometimes go out, I will put some necessary things in the box. And I usually play outside, and when I see something I like, I will store it in the closet, just in case. Need it."

Hermione has always known that Jane's family background is very good, but she never thought that her life would be so chic.

After Jane made her own bed, they started helping Mrs. Weasley clean.Today their goal is to get out of another bedroom, because members of the Order of the Phoenix will spend the night here from time to time.

Jane didn't understand why Dumbledore called herself to the Order of the Phoenix in such a hurry. She maliciously guessed that maybe Dumbledore had no money to hire hourly workers to tidy up the house, so they could only let them stay here and work for free.

At noon she saw Sirius Black, who looked a lot better than he had last term.At least his complexion returned to normal, the clothes he wore were not so ragged, and although his hair was still above his shoulders, it was not so messy.Now he looked more like a decadent nobleman than a wanted prisoner.

"Hi, hello, Sirius." Jane greeted him.

"Hello, Jane." Sirius smiled at her.

There were actually not many people eating lunch together, except for Hermione and Ron, there were only Ginny, Fred, George, Sirius and Mrs. Weasley.During the meal, she specially sat beside Fred, then lowered her voice and told the twins that she had brought the presents they needed, and asked them to go to her room to pick them up.

The eyes of Fred and George began to light up, and they thanked Jane gratefully.

In the afternoon, Jane continued to clean the room with Hermione and Ron.It took them a whole day to clean a wardrobe of moths. Seeing the traces of moths all over the wardrobe, Jane felt that even if the wardrobe was cleaned up, it would not be very practical.

While cleaning the room, Jane heard from Hermione and Ron's argument that there was also an eccentric house-elf in the room who had been trying to chop off his head and nail it to the wall because it felt that It's my own honor.When it was dinner time, Jane saw this weird house elf when she went downstairs.It has been rambling and cursing, although the voice is not very loud, but it is difficult for people to ignore.

In this way, Jane temporarily settled down in Black's old house. The only thing she could do every day was to clean up with Hermione and Ron, and then read the "Daily Prophet".There were a lot of articles mocking Harry in the newspapers, and Jane rarely commented after reading them, but Hermione and Ron were very angry. They thought that Gifford was deliberately humiliating Harry at this time.

During her stay here, Jane met many members of the Order of the Phoenix.Including Moody, Lupine, they often appear in this house.Sometimes I stay to eat, sometimes I stay for a while and then leave.Jane always pays attention to people from outside, because she thinks maybe Snape will appear in front of her at some point.

And really, as she expected, he appeared beside Dumbledore on the afternoon of a week after parting with Snape.Jane was cleaning the living room on the first floor, still wearing a mask on her face.Snape just appeared in front of her, leaving her unprepared.

He looked a lot haggard, his face was sallow, his hair was hanging greasy, and he looked terrible.Jane didn't doubt at all that he shouldn't have taken good care of herself after she left, and his face and hair were enough to prove everything.She felt as if her heart had been tightly pulled together. If it wasn't because Dumbledore was right in front of her, she might have gone straight up to teach him a lesson.
