Harry was moving out of the Tonks house.

Leaving with him were James and Lily, as announced at the family dinner.

The people at the table had expected this, neither Toby nor Snape said anything, and the person who behaved the most abnormally became Sirius instead.

"I thought I could stay with you for a while longer." Sirius was somewhat reluctant to part with them.

Fortunately, Lupine got rid of the siege in time.

"We should move out too." He said while serving hot soup, not noticing Tonks' dull face at all: "The salary paid by the Ministry is not low, maybe the two of us can live together , there can also be a care for each other."

Tonks spoke his mind almost subconsciously: "Then what should I do?"

"We can still meet at the Ministry." Lupine said puzzledly: "At that time we can go find werewolves together again, and it won't take much time."

When hearing this, Toby and Al exchanged a look, and then Al whispered a few words, but Toby didn't care too much about it, anyway, these people couldn't quite understand what Al was talking about .

It's nothing more than being stupid, or deliberately pretending not to understand.Judging from Lupine's performance, the former is more likely.

In order to welcome Lily's return, the dinner ended in a calm manner without any twists and turns.

It was obvious that Lily wanted to say something extra to Toby after dinner, but it was about Dumbledore - but Toby didn't give her the chance.

"We should go, thanks for the hospitality - Severus, do you want a ride?"

Snape, who hadn't said a word during the whole dinner, stood up, gave Lily a slight nod, and left the house with Toby behind.

On the way to the magic car, Toby asked casually, "Where are you going? Hogwarts, or Spider's End?"

"Spider's End." Snape replied decisively, and then immediately added with a cold face: "You better not say another word to me on the way—"

"I know, I know." Toby raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't spread fire on me. Besides, the curse of the mysterious man still seems to be effective, and the wound in your heart is also a misfortune, right?"

Snape didn't answer.

However, it is true that no professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts can escape Voldemort's curse, even Snape is no exception.

He finally waited until Lily came back alive, but the grief in his heart stimulated him all the time—that would never be his Lily.

After these people left, other people helped clean up the table with great insight, leaving time for Harry's family.

Of course Harry is happy. He never expected that he would actually wait for the moment of family reunion. This even made him not have much psychological burden when chatting about autumn, but told everything in detail. Gave it to Lily.

Lily kept glancing at James as she listened to the story—no matter how you looked at it, James had put a lot of effort into this matter.

James kept bringing empty water glasses to his mouth, pretending he didn't notice anything, looking very guilty.

To James' relief, Lily didn't criticize the two too much in this matter. She quickly changed the subject and said, "I plan to move back to Godric's Hollow, what do you think?"

James immediately threw up his hands in approval.

"Good idea!" He almost lifted his feet up.

Harry knew all too well that their family had lived in Godric's Hollow, but that was where their family's misfortune had come from, the source of all their misery.

"Relax, Harry."

Lily saw the worry in Harry's eyes, she gently smoothed her son's hair and said: "Dumbledore told me that since he worked in the Ministry, he has also lived in the old house in Godric's Hollow. Promised to help look after us."

This made Harry feel more at ease.

He went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes under Lily's instructions, and Lily and James were the only ones left at the table.

After Harry's back disappeared, James asked in a low voice: "You want to help resolve the conflict between Toby and Dumbledore, right? But is it possible?"

James was right in guessing, and Lily did have the same idea.

But after being silent for a while, Lily asked back: "Toby has always had the best relationship with Severus, but after I came back, do you think he looks like he is going to forcibly separate us?"

James' expression became weird: "I didn't see it - but can you stop asking me such questions in the future, I also have feelings."

"I know." Lily held James' hand, looked him in the eyes and said, "It's because we all have feelings that this matter is so difficult to solve. Whether it's Toby or Dumbledore, I know them a little bit, neither of these two people will easily back down on Angela's issue. But we can't just watch them fall into a rupture like this, there are many people waiting for this opportunity-I want to stop They, but I have absolutely no idea what to do."

James didn't know either, but at least he knew how to make Lily happy.

"Maybe we should all relax for a while." He suggested, "Harry just won a bonus of [-] Galleons. Although it's only half of it, it's not a lot. Maybe our family can go on vacation? Do you want to go?" Where? France? Egypt might be good too."

Lily shook her head.

"I'll talk about the vacation later. You have to accompany me to meet someone tonight, and we'll go there together after Harry is asleep."
-
A few people were busy in the kitchen, Lupine and Sirius were discussing their future residence, Tonks listened with his ears open, and Harry was diligently helping with the dishes, offering some ideas from time to time.

"Where are you going to move?" Sirius asked, "A place closer to work, or near the Ministry of Magic?"

"Does it make any difference?" Lupine asked, looking up.

"Of course there is." Sirius said casually: "If it is closer to work, it may have to be near Knockturn Alley-don't you still have to find a werewolf?"

"It's not cheap to rent a house nearby," Tonks said abruptly.

After thinking about it carefully, Harry seemed to make some sense: "It's close to Knockturn Alley, that is to say, it's also close to Diagon Alley, right? Are you planning to open a store? If you don't open a store, it seems a bit too expensive."

"Open a shop." Lupine seriously thought about this matter: "There is something valuable on werewolves, maybe we can sell it, so that those werewolves don't need to live in the sewer."

"No." Sirius said resolutely: "If there really were, do you think werewolves can survive until now? Gringotts will definitely offer a reward for you, and those goblins won't let go of a single gold. Besides , even if you dare to sell it, no one would dare to rent the shop to you, which will scare away other shopkeepers."

"You can't talk well." Tonks glared at Sirius, then turned his head and said to Lupine in a gentle tone: "But what he said is not completely unreasonable, not everyone can feel at ease. products."

She stared at Lupine intently - almost saying that I don't mind your continuing to live in my house.

But Lupine didn't think about it at all, his already gray complexion became a lot more haggard: "In this way, we should also choose carefully where we live."

"If you want me to say, just live in my old house."

Sirius said impatiently: "Even if Regulus knows the location, so what, I have been waiting for this day, if he dares to appear in front of me, I will make him—"

Sirius' hands kept tossing back and forth in mid-air, as if rubbing something.Then he looked at Lupine sharply. "Maybe I can make you turn him into a werewolf—well, sorry, I know it's a little too much."

Luplane nodded expressionlessly, and Harry followed suit with an embarrassed expression.

Fortunately, Harry's head turned very fast at this time, and he quickly changed the topic and said, "Maybe you can ask Professor Highmore for help about the business related to werewolves-I'm not talking about you, Sirius, but Lupine, haven't you always had a good relationship with Professor Highmore, I guess he can come up with some good ideas."

Lupine was lost in thought again: "The black devil and the werewolf sound like a good combination."

Sirius curled his lips in disdain, and Tonks also lowered his head in annoyance—these two people who were related to each other were not in a good mood.
-
Cedric is also in a bad mood.

In order to welcome his return, and to be tied with Harry for the No. 1 honor of the Goblet of Fire, Cedric's parents prepared a very sumptuous dinner for him, and kept urging him to say things that Cedric didn't remember much. s story.

His last impressions were of Professor Highmore killing Harry with his own wand, seeing a kerosene lamp suddenly appear, and seeing two mysterious guys somehow come here, and one of them will Professor Highmore held back, and the other smashed the Resurrection Stone in Harry's hand, and ran away after saying a lot to Professor Highmore.

Dumbledore, who came after him, plunged the atmosphere into an extremely cold one.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten that he was the spectator who had witnessed everything, and no one asked Cedric anything more, nor asked him not to tell everything.

But Cedric still obediently kept it a secret and didn't dare to tell anyone about it.

He always felt that this competition was a bit abnormal, especially the last link, which was not prepared for the students at all, but a competition that Professor Haimo should participate in.

Most importantly, judging from the results, Professor Highmore seems to have lost.
"Tell me again how you won the championship." Cedric's father, Amos Diggory, who is now working in the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic, was already drunk and slurring his speech He yelled: "I can never get tired of listening to it. I have to boast about you many times in the ministry every day. Who made me have such an excellent son."

Cedric's mother just watched and smiled.

Cedric knew it wasn't good to lie, but he could only make up a decent story—hope Harry could keep his mouth shut and the story he told wouldn't be too different from his own.

It also gradually deepened.

Cedric's mother helped Mr. Amos Diggory back to his room to sleep, leaving Cedric alone to clean up the dining table—of course, this was entirely at his own request, in order to make his mother's life at home not so tiring .

Not only was he a model student at school, but he was more competent than many kids at home.

"Dong dong dong."

Something sounded.

Cedric wiped his hands, he walked to the window and looked out suspiciously, thinking that it might be something like a goblin.

However, it was not goblins, but three living people were looking out the window and looking at the room inside. Those three faces almost scared Cedric to death. The closest person said, "Cedric, it's me, Ron, I know you and Harry have a good relationship, but you can't say you've forgotten me?"

After the three approached, Cedric finally saw who they were—Ron, Ginny, and Luna who was looking at the fence curiously.

"Are you coming in?" Cedric asked, relieved.

"Do you have a snack?" Ron was still looking inside and said, "Even if it's just pumpkin juice, we came here without dinner. Your house is so far away."

Cedric went to the door and opened the door. He let the three of them sit in the living room, and then said softly, "I remember there should be some cakes at home. I'll be back in a while."

"You are so rude."

After Cedric left, Ginny reprimanded with her mouth pursed, "Mom never taught you to ask for this or that when you're a guest at someone's house."

Ron clutched his stomach and said, "But Mum never said I'd go to someone's house hungry—didn't you see they finished their dinner? I don't want to go home empty."

At this time, Cedric came back with a big dinner plate, glasses full of juice, and snacks that looked good—he even had the time to cut some fruit for decoration .

"I really didn't see that you still have this kind of ability." Ron said with emotion: "If only my brothers were like you."

"Fred and George are fine, too," said Cedric. "I hear they've opened a joke shop in Diagon Alley, which I'd never be able to do."

"What's the use of that?" Ron said bitterly: "They don't even want to pay more for their younger brother - yes, I decided to work with them during the summer vacation, and I have nothing to do anyway. "

Cedric didn't know how to answer this topic, so he could only ask, "What do you want me to do?"

Don't be the Goblet of Fire, don't be the Goblet of Fire.
He prayed silently in his heart.

"There's something." Ginny patted Luna's arm, taking her eyes off Cedric's apron, which had a cartoon drawing of a little boy riding around on a toy broomstick. Flying over the fence.

"This is me." Cedric said with some embarrassment: "My mother drew some things I did when I was a child and printed them on the apron."

"It's really good." Luna praised, and then said abruptly: "I heard that you have a magic wand that can cast spells automatically, can you lend me a look?"

Cedric asked suspiciously, "That's all?"

"Actually not."

Pandora's notebook floated up, and her voice came from the pages saying, "I am the one who really wants to take a look at that magic wand, child, do you remember me?"

"In the special class that Toby opened, I even taught you a class."

Cedric remembered—was there such a lesson, or was it still about the soul.
