Fish and Hermione went back to pack their luggage. After a while, three Thestrals flew out of the Forbidden Forest. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall each rode one, while Fish and Hermione rode one together, and the four

Illusion spells were cast on people's bodies, hiding their figures.

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

The Ministry of Magic has recently come to trouble Dumbledore for no reason. The key is that they are not making trouble unreasonably, but are just worrying about some small problems that they usually ignore. And Dumbledore himself is not a very rule-abiding person, so for a while

But a lot of faults were really picked out.

In the past few days, besides being busy with the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore has been running to the Ministry of Magic to deal with his own violations.

Moreover, the Ministry of Magic also instructed the Daily Prophet to write a big write-up in the newspaper about Dumbledore's violations, in order to undermine his prestige... But so far, it has had little effect.

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

Apparition of underage wizards is something that is not allowed by regulations, but usually no one cares about it. Unless someone is dismembered when Apparating, the Ministry of Magic will not take action.

It imposes penalties.

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 Order of the Phoenix headquarters, it is naturally impossible for them to use Floo powder.

Moreover, the ancestral home of the Black family 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 cannot take the initiative to go to the Ministry of Magic to re-register with the Floo network. He used to use

When communicating with Harry through the Floo Network, Lupine helped him find a 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 surrounding houses have gloomy fronts, looking like they are far away from people. Some houses have broken windows, paint peeling off many doors, and several houses have

Trash was piled outside the front steps.

"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 a few people with tattoos on their lips and noses.

Her ears were covered with iron rings and nails, and she looked completely different from Hermione's parents and her neighbors.

Since Fish and the others were still under the Disillusionment Curse, the Muggles couldn't see them at all.

When Hermione saw the group of people, a trace of disgust was evident on her face. "These people are probably playing heavy metal rock." She whispered in Fish's ear.

Maomao suddenly realized that he had actually seen people dressed similarly on TV. However, the group of people on TV, in addition to dressing up strangely, also kept banging on musical instruments, and had colorful lights flashing around.

Lamp, that's why Fei Xu didn't recognize it immediately.

"Heavy metal rock? That kind of music that screams miserable?"

(??beneficial?)

Fei Xu also showed a look of disgust. He was shocked 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 produced rock music, but it is not heavy metal rock. This kind of music is too avant-garde and niche among Muggles, let alone more popular.

A closed wizarding world.

Cats can’t appreciate it anyway.

The two of them were talking and followed Dumbledore to an old house. The house number said 11. On the left side of the house was No. 10 and on the right was No. 13.

Fish carefully looked at the space between House No. 11 and House No. 13, and found that there was only a wall separating the two houses. It seemed impossible to get through directly like Platform 9?.

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

?(??w??)

Fish pointed at the space between No. 11 and No. 13 and asked curiously.

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

Fish blinked, and the address 12 Grimmauld Place instantly came to mind, as did Hermione beside him.

Then, they saw a shabby door appear out of nowhere between numbers 11 and 13, and then dirty walls and gloomy windows appeared, making it look like an extra house suddenly expanded.

He stood up and pushed things away on both sides, but the nearby Muggles didn't seem to notice the changes at all.

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

Fei Xu and others immediately followed.

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

There were many loud sounds of metal banging and rattling sounds like chains coming from behind the door. Soon, the door creaked open.

Fei Xu curiously poked his head inside and examined it.

There were no lights inside, and all the windows seemed to be sealed, so it looked a little dark. 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 experience of hiding in ditches and sewers.

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

(??v?v??)

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 are already trying their best to help clean up. I believe it will get better after a while."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ron and the others are meowing too?"

"Except for Charlie, the Weasley family usually 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 of course, Hermione."

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 and 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?"

(?w?)

"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, mother didn't even pay that much attention to tidying up our room." Ron muttered to the side, and then received a sharp look from Mrs. Weasley.
