Ai Wenming could think of everything in that old house, but he couldn't remember the address, nor could he tell it.
No. 12, Grimmauld Place is protected by the Fidelity Charm, and everything there is magically hidden...
"Yes, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London!" said Dumbledore gently.
Following his words, the address of No. 12, Grimmauld Place appeared in Ivan's mind, which was very clear, but he still couldn't tell others about this place, and was still bound by magic. The Loyalty Curse used by Dumbledore The power is very strong.
"I must thank you again, Sirius!" Dumbledore continued, "We need a safe place to be the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and to be honest, there is no better place than the ancestral home of the Black family, which was Protected by as many magical spells as I can imagine, second only to Hogwarts, simply by replacing the parts that don't work."
"It's nothing, otherwise the house would be vacant, and I'd be happy to do something for the Order," said Sirius, turning suddenly and frowning at the portrait on the wall.
His great-great-grandfather, Phineas, had just yelled prodigal son and caused chaos in the principal's office.
"Okay, Remus is still waiting for you there, it's already very late, I think you two had better go over now!" said Dumbledore, waving his hand slightly upwards, and the fireplace was burning brightly It suddenly turned green.
Ivan walked into the fireplace, and after a whirlwind, he got out from the fireplace at No. 12, Grimmauld Place.
This place is completely different from before. The last time Ivan came to the restaurant of this old house, it was almost a cave-like deep room.
The room is surrounded by rough stone walls, and the curtain full of insect eyes hides the secret passage leading to the underground library. The ground is covered with dust, and dangerous black magic items are scattered everywhere. The air in the whole house is very dull, like a haunted house .
Today, there is a new look here.
The dark ceiling and floor were gone, they were all rubbed to shine, gleaming as if waxed, almost able to reflect the figure, the curtains and decorations inlaid with the Black family crest were all replaced with new ones, Everything is neatly placed in the cabinet.
Ai Wen blinked and almost didn't recognize it. Is this still No. 12 Grimmauld Place? !
"Kreacher did it. It took him about a year to clean this house, even though no one lives here." Sirius said, pushing Ivan out of the large fireplace. That's exactly what it looked like when it was in"
"Good evening, Master Sirius, Master Ivan!" A bullfrog-like voice sounded, "Welcome back, please change your shoes!"
Aiwen saw the house elf Kreacher running over with two pairs of slippers, and the clothes he was wearing were washed clean.
Around his neck is a fake Slytherin locket with a picture of him and Regulus in it, a Christmas present from Ivan.
As for the locket that Regulus used to replace Voldemort's Horcrux was still in that eerie cave, it was impossible for anyone to get the locket without drinking all the liquid Voldemort left in the stone basin.
But now, everyone knew that it was a fake locket, so there was no need to take it out, and Dumbledore would not drink those deadly poisons.
For Kreacher, it was enough for Ivan to give him this imitation.
Like this old house, he now glows with new vitality, and he doesn't see the old aging and decadence at all, and his attitude towards Aiwen is particularly respectful.
After Ivan and the others retrieved Regulus' body and let Kreacher understand why he died, Kreacher's attitude improved greatly. House elves work that way.
"Good evening, Alvin, Sirius, Dumbledore informed me that you will be back today." Lupine said with a smile. He was sitting at the long wooden table in the middle of the room, still wearing the patched suit. The old robe, the state of mind seems to be not bad.
"Hello, Remus!" Sirius walked over to hug him, and Ivan hurriedly greeted him.
"How is your trip going?" Lupine asked, pouring them each a cup of coffee.
"A lot of things have happened, let's talk a little bit..." Aiwen said, turning around and looking at the house elf behind him, "Kreacher, can I trouble you to get us something to eat? We haven't had dinner yet, don't bother too much , keep it simple!"
"No problem, Master Aiwen, this is the honor of old Kreacher." He bowed and disappeared with a bang.
"I like this house elf, he has a much better attitude than I remember." Lupine said, motioning for Ivan to sit next to him, "Of course, he still whispers bad things about me behind my back, but at least It's not going to throw me out of here like it used to."
"Bad-mouthing you?!" Sirius frowned. "I'll tell him not to…"
"No, Sirius, it's good to stay in the current state. As you know, I'm not a very popular visitor among most wizard eyes and magical creatures." Lupine said, waving his hand, "As a werewolf, It's an occupational hazard."
There was a moment of silence. The werewolf matter had a great impact on Lupine, and it kept him from letting go of his burden and starting a new life.
"Okay, tell me about the interesting things that happened during your trip to the giant tribe?"
Next, Ivan and Sirius briefly described what happened, and asked Lupine about the current situation in the magic world.
"It's not very good. On the surface, there is no news about Voldemort's return. All the media have lost their voices. As for our newspaper..." Lupine smiled wryly, "Just like before you left, they sent special personnel to check the content of our reports, and implemented Strict control, the number of newspaper subscriptions continues to decline. I have protested to the Ministry of Magic during this period, but all the appeal documents have been ignored, and no one has responded to us."
"They can't do this all the time, people need the truth. We can separate the news of Voldemort's return and the claims of the Order of the Phoenix, and secretly mail them to those who need them." Ivan suggested.
"This idea is good, but if it is discovered or reported, then Fudge will definitely not miss this opportunity. Dumbledore said that we had better not provoke him and confront the Ministry of Magic." Lupine said, "Fudge recently He has already done a lot of crazy things. I heard that he is already preparing to intervene in Hogwarts teaching activities. Next semester, the Ministry of Magic will send a senior investigator to Hogwarts to conduct an overall assessment of the school's education situation. The matter has been decided, but I don’t know the candidate!”
Ai Wen knew who this senior investigator was, and the image of that scary woman who looked like a pink toad appeared in front of his eyes.
