Chapter 180 The Sixth Plan Has Changed
The next day, when Ann woke up, Hermione was no longer on the bed, and the curtains were drawn tightly, so Ann had to roll to the other side of the bed and check the watch on the bedside table.
At [-]:[-], Ann sat up and rubbed her hair with her slippers drooping. After washing, she took the wand and opened the door.There was no one in the living room. Ann tilted her head and thought about it, then went down the stairs to the kitchen in the basement.Hermione was indeed in the kitchen. She held a book in one hand as if she was reading it, but from time to time she looked at the iron pan suspended over the flames of the fireplace.
White steam was constantly coming out of the iron pan, and there was a pleasant smell of food.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Hermione glanced back and saw that it was Ann, she closed the book in her hand.Only then did Ann notice that Hermione was holding a wand in the other hand.
Hermione waved her wand and tapped the iron pot, and the iron pot rose slowly, a little farther away from the flames, and stopped spinning in the air.
"Did I wake you up?" Hermione hugged Ann and asked, "Will you not sleep?"
Ann planted a kiss on Hermione's forehead, "I woke up naturally, and last night was the best sleep I've had in so many days."
Hermione's ears were red, and she leaned in to kiss Ann.
"What are you doing here? Do you make breakfast?" Ann wrinkled her nose and sniffed. "There are beans, carrots, chicken, fish and a little sauce?"
Hermione smiled and pinched Ann's nose, "Yeah, let's make breakfast. I'm afraid someone with a sharp nose and picky taste won't be able to eat it. Fortunately, I brought a book."
Ann glanced at the book on the table, "Delicious Food with Magic"
An pouted, "Actually, I'm pretty well fed..." Having said that, An still took a look at the contents of the iron pot.
"More meat and less vegetables." Hermione said amusedly.
An touched her nose, sat down at the table, and looked like a good baby, "As long as you make it, I will finish it."
"Well, I think there are a little less vegetables, do I need to add another can of carrots?"
Ann immediately changed her pitiful eyes and looked at Hermione.
Hermione smiled, waved her wand and lowered the iron pot again, a spoon kept stirring the food in the iron pot.
Seeing that Hermione didn't plan to put carrots, An Hehe laughed twice, raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, "Aren't they getting up yet? Do you want to call them?"
"No, they usually come down at eight," said Hermione.
"Ah?" An said, resting his chin, "If I think about it this way, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
Hermione waved her wand so that the iron pot landed firmly on the table, took the plate and looked at Ann suspiciously.
"My girlfriend!" Ann said emphatically, "I haven't eaten your breakfast a few times yet, why can the two of them sleep in and eat your breakfast every day!"
Ann made a dissatisfied expression that I suffered too much.
Hermione laughed out loud. She set the plate and said with a smile, "If I say, usually, I wake up with them, and then I make breakfast. Breakfast is just a simple open can, biscuits, cakes and a cup of coffee. Instant juice or coffee, wouldn't that be better?"
Ann slightly turned her head to look at Hermione's face, "It seems to be better, but—" She stood up and put her arms around Hermione's waist, "I'm greedy, and I want more."
"More?" said Hermione slowly.
"Well—" Ann responded, looking at Hermione with a smile in her eyes, wanting to see what Hermione was going to say.
Hermione didn't look at Ann, she just used a spoon to scoop food from the pot to the plate in an unhurried manner, and pushed the full plate to Ann's seat, then she looked at Ann and said, "You already have it, In what you said before."
what i said before?
Ann was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, she wrapped her arms around Hermione's waist tightly, "That's right, mine, girlfriend."
When going out, Hermione kissed Ann on the cheek and said, "Remember to eat lunch."
"Yes." An smiled, apparating on top of the front steps.
Staying in the house, it is always easy to forget how fast time passes. Two hours before dinner, the three of them were still discussing fiercely in the living room whether Harry should meet Bathilda who knew Dumbledore when he went to Godric's Hollow. (Wrote the history of magic and was a friend of Dumbledore during his lifetime).
Ann's patron saint, the little fox, rushed into the living room just at this time.
"I've caught Mundungus, I'll be right back."
The eyes of the three couldn't help showing joy and excitement. They hoped to find a real Horcrux.
"Hermione, have you taken out the Gryffindor sword? It's finally in use!" Ron said excitedly.
"No!" "No!" said Hermione and Harry simultaneously.
The two looked at each other, and Harry explained, "The sword of Gryffindor cannot be taken out, in case Mundungus finds out."
"And the Gryffindor sword is the only thing we know to destroy a Horcrux besides the basilisk's fangs, so nothing can go wrong."
"Well," said Ron, "I'm just getting impatient."
The three of them came to the foyer on the first floor without waking up the portrait.Skool ducked into the hallway, a large paper bag in her hand, and seeing the three she said, "Go to the kitchen, they're almost here."
On the way to the kitchen, Skool handed the paper bag to Hermione, "It's delicious." Hermione smiled and took the paper bag. The paper bag was quite heavy. Once in the kitchen, Hermione put the paper bag in cupboard.
"Is the Order of the Phoenix in too?" Harry asked.
"That's right." Scull said, "You'll know later, by the way, I'll ask Mundungus first before you ask."
As soon as the words were finished, a loud voice suddenly burst out from the corner of the kitchen.All four of them looked over, Dobby and Kreacher held Mundungus' neck with one hand, and pulled Mundungus' legs with the other.
Mundungus raised his wand when he saw Scull, but Scull was faster than him.
"Except your weapons."
Mundungus' wand flew into the air and was caught by Scull.Throwing the opponent's wand on the table, Scull pulled out a chair and sat down, turned the wand in his hand, looked at Mundungus and said, "Dobby, Kreacher, let him go. I see him I dare not escape."
Dobby immediately jumped off Mundungus' head, and Kreacher looked at Harry, "Master?"
"Well, just listen to Skool."
Kreacher also got down from Mundungus to the ground. He bowed low to Harry and said hoarsely, "Kreacher has brought back the thief Mundungus Fletcher, master."
"You're doing well, Kreacher," said Harry.The elf bowed lowly.
"Dobby helped too! Harry Potter!" Dobby jumped excitedly. "Dobby is now in the Order of the Phoenix! Great! Dobby would love to do it!"
Kreacher didn't seem to like it very much, and he gave Dobby a glare.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked at Skool in surprise. They really didn't expect Ann to recruit house-elf into the Order of the Phoenix. Among them, Ron was surprised and shocked, while Hermione was a little more surprised. move.
"Ha, how funny!" Mundungus's robe was stained with stains, his body smelled of sweat and smoke, and his hair was tangled.
"You don't need to judge this question yet." Scull said to Mundungus coldly, "Tell me."
"Say what?" said Mundungus, pretending to be silly.
"What do you think?" Scull looked at Mundungus indifferently, "If I don't say anything now, will I waste the veritaserum—"
Mundungus shuddered, and argued, "Most of the Order of the Phoenix materials I sold to those people were known to them! I only earned 150 Galleons!"
The wand turned in Skool's hand, and he raised his eyebrows, but his voice was colder than before, "So, I still have to praise you?"
Mundungus immediately put on a smiling face, "No need—"
Scull ignored him, but said coldly, "Tell me, what materials have been sold."
"Can you let me go when you're done?" said Mundungus, glancing at Harry.
Noticing Mundungus' small movements, Skool said, "It depends on your attitude."
Mundungus immediately became excited, and he also found a stool and sat down on his own.
Ron was dissatisfied with the attitude of the other party. He was about to speak when Hermione pulled his clothes. Seeing Hermione shook his head, he stopped talking.
"It didn't sell much, after all, I was kicked out of the Order of the Phoenix just after I stole the house." Mundungus said, "You are different from Dumbledore, so I ran away quickly, the first I spent one night under the Muggle bridge hole alone, wizards would never appear in such a place where there are many Muggle homeless people..."
Scull tapped his fingers on the table, and said coldly, "Important, I don't want to remind you a second time."
"You see, Dumbledore will listen to me." Mundungus said, shrinking his neck again when he saw Skool's wand, "It was when Dumbledore was the president, some old members. "
"name."
"Dumbledore, Arthur and Mrs. Weasley, Minerva McGonagall at Hogwarts, that stupid Hagrid—"
Ron couldn't resist punching Mundungus on the nose.
"Hey!" Mundungus stood up holding his nose, and looked at Skur, "You don't care about them?"
Ron looked angry, and Hermione didn't hold him back. In fact, she thought it was pretty good in her heart, and Harry also seemed to support Ron.
"It doesn't matter," Scull said, "whether you choose to speak up or—"
"I take the initiative." Mundungus hurriedly said, holding his nose and standing a little farther away, "Dedalo Diggle, Arabella Fige, Alastor Moody, Remus John Lupine , Nymphadora Tonks, Dorcas Meadows."
Mundungus finished speaking in one breath, and added, "No more, that's all."
"Not much?" Scull snorted coldly, "Are you selling everything you know?"
Mundungus immediately jumped up and said loudly, "If you say I have a good attitude, let me go!"
"I didn't say that." Skool said, "Okay, now that I've finished asking my questions, it's time for you to answer Harry's questions. Just a reminder, Harry may decide where you go."
After Skool finished speaking, he turned to look at Harry, indicating that the other party could ask.
Mundungus immediately rushed to Harry's side, and Harry took a step back. He immediately stopped walking knowingly, ignoring the contemptuous eyes of Ron next to him, and put on a flattering expression , but with his swollen and bloodshot eyes, it looks a bit hideous.
"Mr. Potter, brave and kind Harry Potter! You can ask anything you want! I will definitely answer truthfully, and it was all my fault before, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be so greedy, tomorrow, no, tonight Take back all the things I have left that belong to this house!"
Harry glanced at Scull, but Scull sat impassive, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Well," Harry asked after a moment of thought, "when you took things from this house—"
Mundungus interrupted, "I'll give you the money I sold those things too—"
"No!" Harry said, "Just answer my questions honestly!"
Mundungus nodded fiercely twice.
"When you took some things away, did you find a locket in the pile in the kitchen?" Harry's mouth suddenly went dry, and he could feel the tension and excitement of Ron and Hermione.
"You mean a locket that won't open? Is it worth a lot?"
"It's still with you!" cried Hermione.
Harry and Ron stared at Mundungus.
"No, it's gone!" Mundungus had a regretful look on his face. Looking at the expressions of the three of them, he felt that this locket must be extremely valuable.
"Where did it go?" Harry asked.
"I gave away—" Mundungus said, slapping his thigh, "I can't help it, I'm selling in Diagon Alley, and the woman came up and asked me if I had a license to sell magic items, damn it The shit stirrer, she was going to fine me, but suddenly she fell in love with the locket, so she said she would take that and let me go this time, and said I was lucky."
"Who's that girl?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, old witch of the Ministry of Magic."
Mundungus frowned and thought for a while.
"Short, with a bow on his head."
He frowned, and added, "It looks like a toad."
There was silence in the kitchen for a while, and then a newspaper was placed on the table. Skool pointed to a photo on the first page that took up half of the page and asked, "Is that her?"
The newspaper showed a short, fat witch in a pink cardigan with a big pink bow, who looked like she was sitting in an office, and the wall behind her was full of pictures of cats.
And the headline on the front page read: Appointment of Director of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission - Dolores Umbridge
"That's right! It's her!"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione all had expressions of disgust and anger on their faces.
"Okay," said Skool, turning to Harry, "do you have any questions?"
Harry shook his head.
"Are you going to let him go, or something?" Scull asked Harry, standing up. "I'm just asking Harry alone."
Mundungus looked at Harry expectantly, "Mr. Potter! When I go back, I will definitely send all the leftovers in the house! There is still money to sell!" He continued talking After taking two steps, Harry had to take two steps back. Ron looked at Skool incomprehensibly, but Hermione looked at Harry and then at Skool, with a hint of understanding, no say.
"I—" Harry looked at Skool, "Let's leave him to your Order of the Phoenix."
"Don't—" Mundungus wailed.
Scull raised his eyebrows, "Okay, Dobby, please send him to the 'Grey Cabin'."
After Dobby dragged Mundungus to Apparate away, Scull asked, "Harry, can Kreacher leave for a while? Like go to the fourth or fifth floor?"
"Kreacher, you go to the fourth floor." Harry said to Kreacher, and Kreacher bowed slightly to Harry, "Okay, master."
Taking off the earrings, ring, and glasses, Ann took off her gray robe and backpack, walked to Hermione's side and kissed her on the cheek, and took two boxes of wrapped sushi from the paper bag in the cupboard.
"Ann, why did you let Harry decide?" Ron asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down.Harry also pulled out a chair and sat down.
After feeding Hermione a piece of sushi, Ann ate another piece herself, pushed a box of sushi in front of Harry and Ron, and Ann sat down and said, "Harry, do you know why? What was the reason Gus left?"
"Because he leaked a lot of secrets of the Order of the Phoenix, he knew I was here." Harry said, "And he is an unreliable scum. You want me to realize my situation, and it is no longer a simple search for Horcruxes, If someone spots us, it's likely to attract a crowd."
"Fine, that's it," Ann said. "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about changes in plans."
"Okay." Harry nodded.Ron had already eaten three pieces of sushi by himself, and he puffed his mouth and asked, "Ann, what the hell is this, it's delicious."
"Sushi, Japanese food. Don't ask me where Japan is. I'm not obliged to spread the knowledge of geography. In short, it's a Far Eastern country."
