Chapter 542 Number 12 Grimmauld Place

Fish and Hermione went back to pack their luggage. A moment later, three Thestrals flew out of the Forbidden Forest. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall rode one each, while Fish and Hermione rode one together. All four of them were cast with Disillusionment Charms to conceal their figures.

As for why they didn't use Apparition or Floo, it was entirely because Dumbledore and Fudge had fallen out.

The Ministry of Magic has been looking for trouble with Dumbledore for no reason recently. The key is that they are not making trouble for no reason, but just nitpicking about some small problems that are usually ignored. Dumbledore himself is not such a rule-abiding person, so for a while, he was really picked out for a lot of problems.

In recent days, Dumbledore has been busy with the Order of the Phoenix and running to the Ministry of Magic to deal with his own violations.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic has instructed the Daily Prophet to write about Dumbledore's violations in the newspaper in order to undermine his prestige... But as of now, the effect is minimal.

Although these methods of the Ministry of Magic could not have any impact on Dumbledore, he did not want to keep entangled with the Ministry of Magic on such trivial issues.

Carrying underage wizards to Apparition is the kind of thing that is not allowed by the regulations, but no one will care about it in normal times, unless someone is separated when Apparition, the Ministry of Magic will punish it.

The reason for not using Floo powder is also very simple. The Floo network is monitored by the Ministry of Magic. In order not to expose the location of the Phoenix Command, they naturally cannot use Floo powder.

Moreover, the Black family's ancestral house has been vacant for more than ten years, and the fireplace inside has not been logged into the Floo network for a long time. As a wanted criminal, Sirius Black could not take the initiative to go to the Ministry of Magic to re-register the Floo network. He used the Floo network to communicate with Harry before, and Lupin helped him find the fireplace outside.

The three thestrals flew in the sky for a long time before landing above a small square under Dumbledore's instructions.

This is a deserted square overgrown with weeds. The houses around have gloomy facades, which look like they are keeping people away. Some houses had broken windows, paint peeling off many doors, and several front steps were full of garbage.

"This way."

Dumbledore waved and led them out of the grass, across the road, and onto the sidewalk.

On the nearby sidewalk, there were more than a dozen Muggles wandering around. Most of them were dressed strangely, with weird tattoos on their bare arms. Fish also saw several people with iron rings and nails hanging on their lips, noses, and ears. They looked completely different from Hermione's parents and her neighbors.

Because Fish and the others were still under the Disillusionment Charm, the Muggles could not see them at all.

When Hermione saw the group of people, a hint of disgust was clearly visible on her face. "These people are probably heavy metal rockers." She whispered in Fish's ear.

Maomao suddenly realized that he had seen people dressed similarly on TV, but the group of people on TV, in addition to their weird dress, kept banging on their instruments, and there were flashing colored lights, so Feishi didn't recognize them at the first time.

"Heavy metal rock? The kind of music that screams miserably, meow?"

(Yi)

Feish also showed a look of disgust. He was frightened by the group of people on TV at that time.

In fact, there is rock music in the wizarding world. The weird sisters invited to the Warriors' Ball have released rock music, but it is not heavy metal rock. This kind of music is too avant-garde and niche among Muggles, not to mention the more closed wizarding world.

Anyway, Maomao can't appreciate it.

As the two talked, they followed Dumbledore to an old house with the house number 11. On the left side of the house is No. 10, and on the right side is No. 13.

Fish looked carefully between House 11 and House 13 and found that there was only one wall between the two houses, and it seemed impossible to go through directly like Platform 9.

"Minerva, where are we going? The wall here doesn't seem thick enough."

(ω)

Fish pointed to the area between Houses 11 and 13 and asked curiously.

"Think about the address I showed you before." Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

Fish blinked, and the address of No. 12 Grimmauld Place instantly appeared in his mind, as did Hermione beside him.

Then, they saw a tattered door suddenly appear between Houses 11 and 13, followed by dirty walls and gloomy windows. It looked like an extra house suddenly expanded, squeezing out everything on both sides, while the nearby Muggles were unaware of it, as if they had not noticed the changes here at all.

"Let's go." Dumbledore took the lead and walked up the steps and stood in front of the tattered door.

Fish and others immediately followed.

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and knocked on the silver snake-shaped knocker of the door.

There were many loud metal collisions and the clattering of chains behind the door. Soon, the door creaked open.

Fish curiously poked his head inside to check.

There was no light inside, and all the windows seemed to be sealed, so it looked a little dim. Of course, this was nothing to Fish, he could still see clearly.

But what made him feel uncomfortable was that there was a damp and stale smell inside... which reminded him of his previous bad experiences hiding in ditches and sewers.

"Feishu doesn't like it here, meow..."

(ˇˇ)

Maomao sniffed and said with a wrinkled face.

"Ah, the environment here is indeed a bit bad," Dumbledore nodded and said, "But Molly and his children have tried their best to help clean up. I believe it will get better after a while."

"Ron and the others are meowing too?"

"Except for Charlie, the Weasley family also lives here." Dumbledore walked in and replied with a smile: "Of course, including the twins who said I was crazy."

Hearing that his friends were there, Fish was no longer so resistant to this place. He held Professor McGonagall in one hand and Hermione in the other, and followed Dumbledore in.

"Please try to stay quiet and don't touch things in the hall at will..." After entering the hall, Dumbledore put his index finger in front of his lips and said softly to Fish and Hermione: "Don't disturb the people who used to live in this house." Masters."

After saying that, he and Professor McGonagall, together with Fish and Hermione who were confused, walked quietly through the hall.

"Ha! Fish! Welcome! Oh, and Hermione, of course."

After walking through the hall, Fish immediately heard the sound of footsteps. The person walking at the front was Sirius Black, and behind him were Molly, the twins, Ron and Ginny.

Sirius greeted them warmly. Although he was still a little scared of Fish, this did not prevent him from feeling close to Fish, especially after knowing that Fish saved Harry from Voldemort. After coming down, Sirius felt even more grateful to Cat.

"Hello," Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall greeted them, and then said, "I'll leave Fish and Hermione to you. Minerva and I have other work to do."

After saying that, he and Professor McGonagall turned around and wanted to leave.

"What?! Minerva, are you leaving again?!"

∑(`Д)

Fish grabbed Professor McGonagall's robe unhappily, "Didn't you say you were busy with the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Being busy with the Order of the Phoenix doesn't mean you have to do it in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix," Professor McGonagall reassured: "But we often have to come back for meetings. In the evening, mother will come back to tell you stories."

"Really meow?"

(ω)

"When did mom lie to you...Okay! Stop talking!"

Seeing that Fish was about to start wrangling his fingers again, Professor McGonagall quickly interrupted and promised: "Don't worry, I won't lie to you this time. If I don't come back at night, you can make any request, even if you drink the compound Any decoction will do.”

After receiving this assurance, Fei Xu unhappily let go of her robe.

"Let's go, I'll take you two to see your room," Sirius walked over with a smile on his face, "Molly tidied up your room early after knowing that you were coming over."

"That's right, Mum wasn't even that thoughtful when tidying up our room." Ron muttered to the side, and then received a sharp look from Mrs. Weasley.

Where I live, the elevator broke down and an unlucky guy was trapped for more than 20 minutes before he was rescued.

Fortunately, I have extensive experience of being locked in elevators, so I rarely take the elevator...however, it doesn't seem like something to be happy about...(ω)

This week’s Great Detective is another time travel book. I can’t tell much yet. This time it’s Detective Zhang Wei again, but it feels a little better than last time. I don’t know if it’s an editing problem or if he has found the rhythm. .

The key thing is that when the identity cards were drawn, the clothes were different, and most of them were not directly related to the previous case. If based on the clothes when the cards were drawn, at least three cases were abandoned.

The newly bought cans were okay and Zhongyuan enjoyed eating them. The only drawback was that there were a lot of fish bones.

Today I saw a trailer for a new Disney movie... a modern + male version of Cinderella, "Sneakers". I thought it was some kind of trick at first, but after checking, it turned out to be real...

In the trailer, we only see the NK logo. I guess it’s an advertising movie for investment in buying shoes? It's just that... once you tie up the laces, your sneakers will fall off your feet if you fall... The quality doesn't seem to be good... (ω)
