Chapter 557 Harry's Resentment
Harry was stunned as he followed everyone into the dark No. 12 Grimmauld Place that appeared out of thin air.
Professor McGonagall took out her wand and tapped him and Fish on the head. Something warm flowed down their backs, and the Disillusionment Curse on the two was lifted.
Professor Lupin next to him waved his wand and lit up the row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the wall. The swaying, unreal light illuminated the originally dark hallway, but it was not that bright, so the whole hallway looked a little gloomy.
However, Harry felt that he had such a feeling, probably because of the ubiquitous snake design, whether it was the chandelier above his head or the candlestick on the table next to him.
And their shadows were reflected on the wall, swaying with the light, as if the snakes came alive on the wall.
Another reason was that the portraits hanging crookedly on the wall stared at the people who came in silently. Harry could see from the eyes of the portraits that they did not seem to welcome his group of people.
"Well, go in quickly, everyone is waiting for you." Professor Lupin pushed Harry who was still in a daze and said softly.
Harry followed the crowd and walked forward for a few steps, and then heard a hurried footsteps from behind the door at the other end of the hall. Mrs. Weasley came out with a warm smile on her face.
"Oh, Harry, I'm so happy to see you!" She whispered, hugged him to her arms, almost breaking his ribs, and then pushed him away a little, looking at him carefully, "You look thinner, you need to eat more, but I'm afraid you have to wait a while before dinner."
She turned to Professor McGonagall and others and whispered hurriedly: "He just came, and the meeting has already started."
Professor McGonagall nodded, and then said to Fish in the same soft voice: "Fish, take Harry to recognize his room, we will go to the meeting first."
"Okay meow!"
(ΦωΦ)
The cat didn't have so many concerns and answered loudly.
Then everyone else followed Mrs. Weasley and walked towards the door she came from. Harry wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"Your room is not here, Harry, follow Fish."
Facing his own dean, Harry was still a little timid. He stopped obediently and watched everyone leave.
"Come with Fish, Ron and the others are inside meow."
(ΦωΦ)
The cat waved at Harry and walked towards a large umbrella stand that looked like it was made of a broken leg of a troll.
Harry hurriedly followed and asked Fish impatiently: "Where is this? What happened?"
However, before Fish could answer his question, a sharp and mean voice sounded on the wall next to him: "Is he the godson of my wicked son?"
Harry looked in the direction of the voice and found a life-size portrait hanging on the wall next to him. The portrait was of an old lady with a black hat, sallow skin and a thin figure. She was staring at him with unkind eyes.
"Yes, he is Harry meow." Fish nodded and greeted the old lady in the painting: "You are still awake, Walburga."
"Humph! Before you came back, there were already a large group of people coming in and out of my house. How could I sleep!" Mrs. Black's attitude seemed very bad. She cursed and screamed: "That evil son who defiled our Black ancestral home!"
"Fish will take Harry to his room first. I will come to chat with you when I have time."

Mao Mao raised his hand to press the cat ears on his head, frowned and said, and quickened his pace and continued to run forward.
Every time she talked about something related to Sirius, Mrs. Black was a little hysterical, and Mao Mao's sensitive ears could not stand her screams.
Harry also saw that he was not welcomed by the old lady, and he also quickened his pace and ran past her. Even after turning the corner, he could still hear the intermittent curses from the other party behind him.
"Fish, is this Sirius' home?"
Harry had already guessed it before, and just now he heard the old lady in the portrait mention the Black family. It would be stupid for him not to guess where this place is.
But what he didn't understand was that the portrait that was most likely Sirius' mother, why was she so hostile to him and Sirius...Isn't Sirius her son?
"To be precise, this is the ancestral home of the Black family meow..."
Fish certainly knew what Harry wanted to ask, so he told Harry everything about the relationship between Sirius and his family.
"...So Walburga is not targeting you, she is targeting Sirius, she is actually very pitiful meow."
Mao Mao patted Harry's shoulder, comforting him and saying a good word for Mrs. Black.
"She supports Voldemort."
Harry frowned. The thing he was most dissatisfied with Fish was that Mao Mao was too friendly to those pure bloods and Slytherins...Obviously, they were not good people!
"The Black family supports pure bloods. After Voldemort started doing bad things, they no longer supported him. Regulus was even killed by Voldemort because of this." Fish corrected.
Mao Mao has talked a lot with Mrs. Black, Professor McGonagall, and Hermione during this period, and has some opinions on this matter. "Their ideas are a little wrong, but they are not necessarily bad people meow... just like Severus."
Harry pulled the corner of his mouth. If Fish didn't use Snape as an example in the end, he might be convinced. Now... he can only recognize a small part.
"This is your room meow." As the two talked, they walked to a room on the right side of the second floor. Fish pointed to the door and said to Harry: "Ron lives here too."
Probably because he heard the sound outside, the door opened from the inside with a click, and Ron with red hair rushed out from inside.
"Harry! You're finally here!" Ron patted Harry's shoulder and said happily: "If you don't come again, I will be pecked to death by Hedwig. Look at this..."
He raised his hands, which were covered with scars from being pecked by bird beaks.
Following this, a slight whirring sound came, and the snow-white Hedwig also flew out of the room and landed lightly on Harry's shoulder.
"Fish, go get the others, meow."

Mao Mao threw Harry to Ron and hopped away.
A few minutes later, Hermione, Ginny, and the twins were all called over by Fish and gathered in Harry and Ron's room.
"You guys have been together all the time! And I was trapped at the Dursleys' for a whole month!" Harry was very resentful. He yelled at Ron and others, "I was trapped at Privet Drive for four weeks, picking up newspapers from the trash cans, just to find out what the situation was! And you guys are hiding here comfortably together!"
"Actually, we're not very comfortable either, meow," Mao Mao kindly consoled, "Minerva didn't allow Fish to go out, nor did she allow Fish to go back to play with Wuwu and the others. Fish can only spend his time here planting flowers with Hermione and Sirius to pass the time, meow... You can watch TV there!"

But Mao Mao really didn't know how to persuade people. Harry got even angrier after hearing what he said. After all, he didn't have any friends at Privet Drive.
Fortunately, the other people's emotional intelligence was barely online. After everyone's persuasion and apology, Harry gradually calmed down, and then asked about what happened recently.
Fish was not interested in these things, so he pulled Hermione to fiddle with his flowers and plants.
It was not until the meeting downstairs ended and Mrs. Weasley called them for dinner that the two of them reunited with Harry and others and went downstairs to have dinner together.
