Chapter 160 Five Easter Holidays
"Do you understand?" Skool looked at the three people sitting on the opposite sofa and said, "You must move out of here on March 31, which is the day after tomorrow."
Tapping the parchment on the table with his right hand, Scull said, "Two options, first, move to the residence provided for you on the paper, and second, you decide where you want to move, at least one Come back in a year."
Vernon was wearing a fawn zipper jacket, the fat on his chin was shaking, staring at the parchment on the glass table, it took him a long time to lift his head, staring at Skool with a pair of piggy eyes, he dared not look The two standing behind Scull, because they both held a wand in their hands.
"I, we're not leaving." He said hesitantly, then seemed to have made up his mind, and said it again in a much louder voice,
"I decided not to believe a word of it. We're not going, we're not going anywhere."
Harry turned to look at Skull, as if to say, look, I told them they wouldn't believe it.
"Well, it seems that you still don't quite understand the dangerous environment you are in." Skool said, the wand slipped from his sleeve into his hand, and with a wave, a vase in the room floated into the air, and then a layer of it was faintly visible to the naked eye. The transparent shield covers the vase.
"Because of Harry, Mr. Dumbledore cast a protective spell on your house, similar to the transparent shield on the outside of this vase, which can prevent you from being discovered by mysterious people."
The vase in the air suddenly disappeared.
"It also keeps the people who live in it protected."
The tea in the teacup in front of Petunia was suddenly sucked into the air, and she was so frightened that she quickly hugged Dudley.The tea water hit the protective cover, was scattered in all directions, and finally merged into a large water drop in the air and returned to the cup.
"But at the end of March, that is, the day after tomorrow. This protective cover will fail and will be lifted automatically."
The shield flickered and disappeared.
"After that, Harry and you will be exposed. At present, there are sufficient reasons to believe that the mysterious man wants to kill Harry, and if you are discovered, it is very likely that you will be arrested, torture you, and interrogate Harry's whereabouts. even--"
With a crisp cracking sound, the vase in the air shattered.
"die."
Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley screamed and huddled together, and the debris in the air recovered as it fell, floating back to its original position.
"Moving away is the best option." Scull said, "Our Order of the Phoenix sent someone to protect you."
Vernon froze for a while before saying, "Isn't there a Ministry of Magic?"
"That's right." Scull nodded.
"Then, why can't they protect us? In my opinion, we, as innocent victims, have done nothing bad except adopting a suspect, and should be protected by the government!"
Harry laughed.He couldn't help laughing.Uncle was like that, always pinning his hopes on the powerful, even in a world he hated and distrusted.
"The Ministry of Magic is not credible now, and there may be bad guys in the middle and high levels inside."
Vernon turned to stare at the vase in the corner, his face flushed purple, "Okay, okay. Let's just say, we accept this kind of protection, but are there other options?"
He pointed to the parchment on the glass table, "The address you provided is really bad, and what about my job? What about Dudley's school?"
Skool narrowed his eyes, "I think life is more important than these things, Mr. Vernon, if you are not afraid, you can choose the second option."
"No, Dad. We're going with the Order!" Dudley said loudly.
Petunia also pulled Vernon's sleeve, Vernon's fat face with a large plate looked pale at this moment, he glanced at the house, and finally said, "Okay, but I can't accept living in a house with only two rooms. "
"Well, since you asked, I still have an address here, four rooms." Scull pulled out a crumpled piece of parchment from his pocket with an address on it.
Vernon took the parchment and nodded in compromise.
"Okay, this will make things easier. Now you pack your things and move out tonight." Scull stood up and said coldly, "Harry, go and pack your things. Dumbledore will pick you up tonight Go to the Burrow, it's ready."
Mr. Weasley breathed a sigh of relief. He walked from behind Scull to Harry with his wand, "Do you need me to accompany you upstairs to sort things out, Harry?"
"No, Mr. Weasley, I can do it by myself." Harry said with a relaxed smile, "But maybe you can ask them, move by magic?"
Dudley quickly jumped up and waved his hands.
In the end, Vernon called a moving company, and it took an afternoon to remove most of the furniture in the house.Mr. Weasley and Dedalus (an inner member of the Order of the Phoenix) also followed the moving company's van. They needed to put some protective spells on the new address. Mr. Weasley was so excited to be able to sit in the passenger seat of the van.
Skool and Harry stood in the doorway, watching the van and the Dursleys' car turn across the drive and onto the road, with Dedalore's top hat on the back seat between Aunt Petunia and Dudley.The car turned right at the end of Privet Drive, the windows glowed fiery red in the westering sun, and then disappeared.
The two turned and entered the house, the living room shadowed in the twilight.There was silence all around, most of the furniture had been removed, and the empty house could only hear the sound of Hedwig flying around and fluttering her wings.
"I heard you used to sleep in the stairwell?"
Harry nodded, and walked to a small door at the bottom of the stairs. "This is it," he said, pulling the door open. "Oh my god, it's getting a lot smaller in here."
Skool probed and took a look. There were no traces of people living in it. Instead, it was full of discarded empty shoe boxes, rotten umbrellas, and some cleaning tools.
Harry glanced at the stairwell, then excitedly picked up a plastic toy soldier at the height of his index finger from a corner, "Look, this is the only toy I had as a kid."
The plastic minion has a broken arm, but with a gun raised in the other hand, he looks like he wants to charge.
"Dudley broke it and gave it to me," said Harry. "I had it here when I was a kid! I thought it was gone."
"Yes." Scull agreed, and looked back at the clock hanging on the wall, "Dumbledore will be here in about half an hour."
Harry squeezed the plastic soldier and nodded, closing the door to the stairwell.
"Skool?"
Skool pushed up his glasses and looked at Harry questioningly.
"Why do you join the Order of the Phoenix?"
The black pupils contracted visibly, "Why do you ask this?"
"Curious, you are so young, probably no more than 30 years old? Why did you suddenly become the president of the Order of the Phoenix? Why did you join the Order of the Phoenix? Why did Dumbledore trust you so much?"
"I said I was forced, do you believe me?"
Harry shook his head slowly, "I don't believe it, Dumbledore will definitely not force others."
"Oh, you are really Dumbledore's man through and through." Scull said coldly, and then his expression became softer, "If you really want to count, I joined the Order of the Phoenix to protect what I want to protect people and things."
Just as Harry opened his mouth to ask something else, the doorbell rang.
Skool and Harry gripped their wands tightly, looked at each other, and walked towards the door.Looking through the peephole, Skool put away his wand and opened the door.
Dumbledore stood at the door, his blue eyes shining under half-moon glasses, "Come here early. Harry, are you ready? Let's set off to the Burrow."
"Okay, sir." Harry nodded, and walked towards the luggage placed in the center of the living room. "My luggage is here. Hedwig, come, get into the cage."
Hedwig flew into the cage, and Harry had just closed it when Dumbledore waved his wand, and the luggage and the owl cage were gone.
"Well, Molly should know we're coming soon," said Dumbledore. "She must have prepared a rich dinner for us."
Harry turned his head one last time as the three walked out of the house, which he was leaving for good.
Dumbledore and Skool were silent for a moment.
"Sir," Harry said, looking back at Dumbledore, "let's go."
Dumbledore held up his good hand, and Harry put it on it.
Strange and weird, a crooked building stands at the end of the path.Due to the large number of protective spells placed near the Burrow, the three of Dumbledore could only apparate a hundred meters away from the Burrow.
At the Burrow door, Mrs. Weasley, Hagrid, Lupine, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and brothers George Fred looked at the end of the path.As soon as Harry approached, Mrs. Weasley embraced him, "Oh, Harry, welcome home."
Hagrid patted Harry on the shoulder with his big hand.
"Oh, this is great, another lively evening," Mrs. Weasley looked very happy, "Fred, George, Bill!"
Bill poked his head out of a third-floor window. "What's the matter, Mom? Oh, Harry, good evening."
"Come down, the three of you hurry up and set the table in the yard. Your father will be back soon, and we will have dinner soon."
"I'll help too!" A head poked out from behind Bill, it was Furong, her long silver hair was very conspicuous.
Skool followed behind Dumbledore and briefly greeted several members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione chatted together, and Ron looked at Skool curiously several times.
"Is this the president of the Order of the Phoenix?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, that's him, Scull."
"He looks like an Egyptian wizard," said Ron. "Hey, you know, our family went to Egypt during the summer of our second year, and there are a lot of wizards there that look like that."
Hermione took a look at Skool and said, "He looks serious and calm. But so young—"
"Are you guys talking about Skool?" George suddenly joined the conversation between the three of them, "Don't look at him as young and super smart. Some of the recent effective actions of the Order of the Phoenix were arranged by him."
"What effective action?" Harry asked quickly.
"Well, I can't tell you that." George said, turning his head to look at Scull, "But not only you are curious, but most members of the Order of the Phoenix are also curious. No one knows, which country is he from? Where? How was it? Not even Skool knew if it was a first name or a last name?"
"Wow—" Ron exclaimed full of admiration, "That's cool!"
Hermione frowned, and said bluntly, "If the origin is unknown, don't you investigate?"
"How is it possible not to investigate, but Dumbledore sternly dismissed it every time. Hey, you don't know." George lowered his voice, "I heard that there was a meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, and Dumbledore lost his temper. He finally Said that Scull was the one he could surrender his life without hesitation, and no one asked after that."
George put Harry's shoulders on his shoulders, "But then everyone accepted that he is really a smart guy."
"I think he's pretty good." Harry said, "Today I asked him a question, why did he join the Order of the Phoenix, and he said it was to protect the people and things he wanted to protect."
George whistled, "Great, I understand a little more."
"George! What are you doing?" Mrs. Weasley's voice sounded, and George slipped away quickly.
Skool followed Dumbledore and Lupine in whispers of the latest intelligence.Moody, Kingsley, and Aaron arrived at the Burrow a little later, and by the time Mrs. Weasley was serving the penultimate course, so had Mr. Weasley and Dedalore.
"Great, Arthur, go wash your hands and serve dinner." Mrs. Weasley said happily.
The courtyard of the Burrow was bustling with activity. A dozen huge candles were floating in the air, and various delicacies were densely arranged on the dining table, as well as mead, beer, and various fruit juices.Knowing that he was coming for dinner, Aaron brought a cake made by Obi, and proudly said at the table, "The recipe written by Xiao An is guaranteed to be super delicious."
When Aaron said this, the cake was quickly divided.Seeing that Aaron is familiar with the road, it is natural that he often prepares his own snacks for everyone to eat.
Scull also got a small piece in front of him.When he picked up the knife and fork to eat, many people stared at him either explicitly or secretly.
After putting a small piece of cake into his mouth, George couldn't wait to ask, "Is it delicious?"
Now many people at the dining table are staring at this side.Dumbledore smiled at Scull.
Holding up the fork, Scull placed the fork on the table, then wiped his mouth with a napkin, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It tastes good, and the cake is delicious. The cream is not heavy."
The sound of a few forks accidentally dropping.
"So you can still laugh!" Fred said with a smile without hesitation, "I thought you were just a piece of wood, and you were even hiding behind a hood before. To be honest, I'm quite curious. Except for you No one else knows Mr Dumbledore, can you tell me how you met Mr Dumbledore?"
Scull gave Dumbledore a meaningful sideways glance, and then replied, "Mr. Dumbledore and I met at Hogwarts. In fact, I've known him for a long time, but I haven't known him before." Just being able to really talk to him."
Most of the people looked at Scull with a look of astonishment or amazement, after all, no member of the Order of the Phoenix present thought that Scull would really answer Fred George's question.
Fred and George looked at each other, and then their eyes immediately became excited.
"Can you tell me how old you are this year?" "I want to know what country you are from? British?" Fred and George said, knocking on their bowls.The two didn't care about Mrs. Weasley's gaze at all.
Not only did he ask himself, Fred also grabbed Harry's neck, "Harry, he wants to ask you, why did you join the Order of the Phoenix? The previous answer was too simple."
George immediately followed suit and grabbed Ron's neck, yelling fearlessly, "Ron wants to ask, which magic school did you graduate from? What did you do in the past?"
Ginny looked at the excitement and asked curiously, "I see you wear the ring on your middle finger. Do you have a girlfriend?"
After Ginny finished asking, the entire dining table was silent for a second, but in the next second, Fred George flapped the table desperately and whistled happily.
Dumbledore still looked at the farce with a springy smile.
Scull took a sip of the juice and said with a smile, "So curious? Well, let's start with the last question."
Fred and George laughed even harder. They somehow got two small trumpets and played them vigorously in mid-air.
"The answer is YES, I have a girlfriend."
The spoon in Mrs. Weasley's hand fell on the plate for the second time, and she also looked at Skool gossipingly.
"I was invited by Mr. Dumbledore to join the Order of the Phoenix. Chen Meng valued me and asked me to be the president. There is only one purpose, and everyone knows it. The Order of the Phoenix also exists for this purpose, but for me, there is another aspect It's to better protect the people I want to protect, like my girlfriend."
Bill took Fleur's hand, and Fred George tap-danced the empty plates and glasses in front of him.
Ron, Hermione, and Harry had almost the same expressions, both surprised and touched.
"As for the graduate school? Hogwarts, of course."
The adults at the table looked at each other.
"British, although I really don't like the weather in London very much," Skool said, "As for age, that's a secret."
After finishing speaking, Scull raised a glass of mead, "I haven't participated in such a lively party for a long time, this glass of wine is toast to you, and by the way, to such a beautiful night, beautiful moonlight, delicious cakes, and various delicacies , and a difficult but beautiful life."
Dumbledore was the first to raise his glass, "Cheers!" Then everyone raised their glasses with a smile.
"Cheers—"
After drinking and eating, Dumbledore and Scull took their leave and walked on the path.
"A nice party." Skool said briefly, "It solves the problem that my sense of identity will decline after you leave."
Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and smiled, "For an old man like me, this is a memory worth cherishing."
Ann shrugged, "Indeed, I hope the people at the table will still be there at the next gathering."
"You will," said Dumbledore. "You can do it. You did a good job last time."
"Oh? I thought you thought I was cold-blooded?"
"There is something to be willing to give up, and I understand this truth."
Scull glanced at Dumbledore, was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head away and said, "Accompany me somewhere tomorrow."
"it is good."
"Hmph, don't you ask if I'm doing business or private business?"
"It doesn't matter, it's fine."
"Well, you are a free thug with good awareness." Scull choked out a sentence, "In short, get ready, we will go to the Pyrenees tomorrow."
