The atmosphere in the room changed suddenly, so quickly that Harry thought it was a dementor.A few seconds ago, he was relaxed and sleepy, but now he was alert, even tense.A shudder passed around the table at the sound of Voldemort's name.Lupine, who had just picked up his glass and was about to drink, put it down slowly, with an air of vigilance.

"I asked!" said Harry angrily. "I asked Ron and Hermione and Rosa, but they said we weren't approved to join the Order of the Phoenix, so—"

"They're right," said Mollie aloud, "you're too young."

She sat upright on the chair, clenched her fists tightly in her arms, and her drowsiness disappeared without a trace.

"Since when did we have to join the Order of the Phoenix to ask questions?" Sirius asked. "Harry was trapped in that Muggle's house for a whole month. He has a right to know what happened—"

"Wait!" interrupted George loudly.

"Why can Harry's question be answered?" Fred asked angrily.

"We've been trying to get something out of your mouths for a month, but you won't tell us anything!" George frowned tightly.

"You're too young, you didn't join the Order of the Phoenix," Fred imitated Molly's tone, the high-pitched voice was just like his mother's, "and Harry isn't even an adult yet!"

"It's not my fault that no one told you what the Order of the Phoenix was doing," said Sirius quietly. "That was your parents' decision. Unlike Harry—"

"It's not up to you to decide what's good for Harry!" Molly snapped, the expression on her usually kind and friendly face now frightening. "I don't think you've forgotten what Dumbledore said?"

"Which part?" Sirius asked politely, but with the air of a man ready to fight.

"Just don't tell Harry what he doesn't need to know." Without a trace of a smile on Molly's face, she emphasized the last few words.

The heads of several children were turning back and forth between Sirius and Mrs. Weasley, as if watching a sparring match on a tennis court.Kneeling among a pile of discarded Butterbeer corks, Ginny stared blankly at their conversation, mouth ajar.Lupine stared at Sirius without blinking.

"I was only going to tell Harry what he needed to know, Molly," said Sirius coldly, "but he was the one who saw Voldemort come back to life. "He has more rights than most—"

"He's not a member of the Order yet!" cried Molly. "He's only fifteen, and—"

"But he's been through as much as most of the Order," said Sirius, "and even more than some."

"Nobody denies what he's done!" Molly's voice grew louder, her fists resting on the arm of the chair trembling slightly, "but he still—"

"He's not a child anymore!" said Sirius impatiently.

"But he's not an adult either!" The blood rushed to Molly's cheeks. "He's not James, Sirius!"

"Thanks, I know exactly who he is, Molly," said Sirius coldly.

"I don't think so!" said Mrs. Weasley. "Sometimes you talk about him as if you thought your best friend was back!"

"What's wrong with that?" Harry asked back aloud.

"The fault is that you're not your father, Harry, no matter how much you look like him!" said Mrs. Weasley, eyes still fixed on Sirius. "You're still in school, a responsible adult One should not forget this!"

"You mean I'm an irresponsible godfather?" Sirius asked, his voice rising.

"I mean you're known to be reckless, Sirius, that's why Dumbledore keeps reminding you to stay home—" Molly argued.

"I'm sorry, I hope our conversation will not get involved in Dumbledore's teaching to me." Sirius said loudly.

"Arthur! Nora!" Molly, turning suddenly to her husband and the other mother at the table, "support me!"

Arthur did not speak immediately, but took off his glasses and wiped them slowly on his robes, without looking at his wife.Carefully putting his glasses back on, he said, "Dumbledore knows the situation has changed, Molly. He agrees that it is partly necessary to keep Harry updated, since Harry is now living in Headquarters."

"That's right, but that's different from encouraging him to ask casually!" Mo Li still argued, and she glanced at Mrs. Shen who didn't say a word.

"Personally," Lupine said softly, finally looking away from Sirius, and Molly turned to him instantly, hoping she had a supporter at last, "I think it's best for Harry to Get the facts from us--not all the facts, Mollie, but a general picture, lest he get some confusion from . . . other people."

Yu Cheng Shen took up the conversation: "If he is completely kept in the dark, it may not be a good thing."

"Okay," Molly took a deep breath and scanned the dining table, hoping to get support, but no one responded, "Okay... It seems that my opinion is going to be rejected. I just want to say something : Dumbledore must have a reason for not wanting Harry to know too much, as someone who cares about Harry's vital interests—”

"He's not your son," Sirius said softly.

"But about the same as my son," said Molly angrily. "Who else is he?"

Sirius was very emotional "He has me!"

"Yeah," Molly pouted, "the problem is, you're imprisoned in Azkaban, it's hard to take care of him, isn't it?"

Sirius couldn't help jumping up from the chair when he heard this.

"Molly, you're not the only one at this table who cares about Harry," said Lupine sternly. "Sirius, sit down."

Molly's lower lip quivered, and Sirius slumped back into his chair slowly, pale.

"I think it's best to allow Harry to express his opinion on this matter," Nora said in a low voice, "He's no longer a kid who doesn't know anything, he can decide for himself."

"I wonder what the hell happened," said Harry immediately.

He didn't look at Molly, but turned his eyes to those who opposed her - just now she said that he was like her own son, he was very touched, but at the same time he was impatient with Molly's over-indulgence on him .

"Very well," Molly's voice was hoarse with grief: "Ginny--Ron--Hermione--Fred--George--" She looked at Rosalind again: "I want you to get out of here a kitchen, now."

Immediately, the house exploded like a nest:

"We're grown-ups!" cried Fred and George at the same time.

"Harry and Rosa can know, why can't I?" Ron cried.

"Mum, I want to hear it too!" Ginny screamed.

"No!" Molly yelled and stood up abruptly, her eyes shining brightly, "I will never allow—"

"Molly, you can't stop Fred and George," said Arthur wearily. "They're grown up."

"They're still in school." Molly wasn't going to budge.

"But they're legal adults now," said Arthur in his weary voice.

Molly's face was flushed now.

"I - oh well, Fred and George can stay, but Ron -"

"Harry will tell me and Hermione everything you said anyway!" said Ron indignantly. "You—would you?" He met Harry's eyes and asked uncertainly.

For a split second, Harry wanted to tell Ron that he wasn't going to tell him a word, and to let him taste what it was like to be kept in the dark, to see how it felt.But when the two looked at each other, his narrow-minded impulse disappeared in an instant.

"Of course I will," said Harry.

Ron and Hermione immediately beamed with joy.

"Fine!" cried Molly. "Fine! Ginny—go to bed!"

Ginny didn't just leave obediently.She yelled and yelled at her mother all the way up the stairs, losing her temper.In the hall Mrs. Black let out another deafening scream, making the uproar even more unbearable.Lupine rushed to the portrait to calm it.After he came back and closed the kitchen door, and sat down at the table again, Sirius spoke: "Okay, Harry... what do you want to know?"

Harry took a deep breath and asked the question that had been bugging him for the last month.

The conversation didn't go as smoothly as he'd hoped—Sirius gave him a general explanation of what the Order of the Phoenix was, but when it came to talking about Voldemort's search for a mysterious weapon, Molly came back—she stopped Although Sirius wanted to reveal more information, Lupine agreed with her this time.

Rosalind glanced at her mother in a strange silence, and after meeting her eyes, she then said to Molly: "Aunt Molly, it's getting late, I'm already a little sleepy."

Molly turned her head to her when she heard this, and said as if she was relieved: "Okay, okay—then you and Hermione and Ron and Fred and George go upstairs."

"Yes." She stood up, patted Fred lightly, and stopped what he was about to say: "Let's go upstairs to rest first, and you don't have to work too late."

On the stairs, George and Fred asked her one after the other why Cedric didn't come here with her, and Rosalind had to answer this non-secret question first: "The Diggory couple are not members of the Order of the Phoenix, Cedric There is no need for Germany to take risks and get involved."

"The Diggory couple? But can't you, the Diggory couple?" Fred joked, "Aren't you always inseparable at school?"

"It's not an easy thing, Fred." Rosalind really felt a little tired: "I'd rather he didn't know, if it would keep him out of danger. Well I'm going to sleep—I wish you all Have a good dream tonight, good night."

Sitting on the bed, Rosalind smelled a faint musty smell in the air. Although it was not particularly obvious, it still lingered around her vaguely.

Taking out the bronze mirror that Cedric had given her from the pocket that was cast with the traceless extension spell, Rosalind called softly a few times: "Sed, Sed? Are you asleep?"

Cedric was about to fall asleep at first——after being called by her, he subconsciously responded in a daze: "Huh?"

"Are you asleep?" Rosalind heard the deep sleepiness in his words, raised her hand and cast a time-marking spell: it was already past 11:30.

After sitting up, Cedric picked up the copper mirror on the bedside table:

When Rosalind was not with him, he always habitually put the mirror aside before going to bed, so that it would be convenient for him to know that she was looking for him in time.

"What's the matter?" Cedric's face emerged from the mirror, and his gray eyes were still a little hazy.

Rosalind smiled unconsciously at the bristling hair on his head, but she still felt a little guilty for disturbing her lover's sleep: "I'm sorry Seid, did I wake you up? I'm in Gerry again now. No. 12, Mo Plaza—" The girl sighed leisurely, "I miss you so much."

"I miss you too—did something happen?" Cedric had already fully woken up, and after hearing the location of the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, he fell asleep completely.

Rosalind told him everything that happened tonight, and Cedric listened quietly, feeling turmoil in his heart.

The calm before the storm is about to be torn apart.
