Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Previously, when Marx was busy back and forth between the United States and Britain, Black’s old house was not idle. Voldemort’s penetration of the Ministry of Magic has never stopped.

The members of Order of the Phoenix didn’t have much time to rest, because there were always tasks placed one after another in front of them, so that they couldn’t even succumb to Yu Yu.

Kingsley’s physical condition is not bad. He is in the position of Ministry of Magic and he just returned to his position and continues to run for the Order of the Phoenix.

When Kingsley was not in the old house, Lupin became the candidate for the prime minister’s affairs. A variety of intelligence documents, as well as report documents before and after the execution of the mission, were piled up in front of him.

At the moment, Sirius is finally back, but from his injury, it is his first priority to recuperate. So, even if he wanted to help Lupin himself, Lupin still put him decisively on the bed.

But to be honest, Black’s old house is now much more lively than when it was just rebuilt.

Among the children that Marx rescued from the dungeon, only the children who had been taken away had been sent back to their homes as they wished; and the other children who had no reason to go for various reasons were left in Black. The old house continues to look for possible outlets.

In any case, these children have one thing in common, that is, they have experienced the first magic power runaway, a child with wizard innate talent. After this incident, they will probably be accepted as students by magic school as soon as they reach their age.

And the little girl who was rescued by Marx first was one of the remaining children. Her name is called –

“…isla, have a meal.”

The elder sister Lena in the werewolf sisters is still the same as the golden word, even if she is facing a small child, she is no different from usual.

However, she has lived in Black’s old house for so long, and she is not completely unchanged.

For example, her cooking seems to be more exquisite than Mrs. Weasley. Just because she always likes to try a variety of “new menus”, which leads to a seemingly strange dish on the table.

But we can see that at least she is really used to the leisure life here. As long as younger sister Lenny is happy every day, she can enjoy it in her own way.

“I know.” Isla, sitting on the stairs in a daze, hearing this point nodded.

This little girl child was obviously frightened in the dungeon, and before she was caught by the old wizard, she seemed to have encountered some painful past. This experience, so much so that she is just a person in a daze, not too fond of talking.

Speaking of it, when Marx met her in the dungeon, she was already dirty to the extreme. The blood of the black and dry cognac is mixed with dirt and dust, and the damaged clothing and the long hair that is smashed and agglomerated seem to be broken dolls that are turned out from the trash can.

But when she was sent here and cleaned up, Mrs. Weasley and others found that it was a pretty little girl.

I am afraid that only the old wizard, like Lenny, who only cares about research, will torture such a cute little girl into that way without any pity?

After notifying Isla, Lena walked past her and went upstairs to call other children.

Isla licked her mouth, but did not immediately get up and went to the kitchen, still sitting on the wooden steps of the stairs, seems to be thinking about something.

When Lena walked downstairs with five or six children, she stood up gently and walked slowly to the opposite corridor.

When passing through this corridor aisle, you should be as quiet as possible. These children who have experienced hell are very sensible and obviously more mature than their peers. They are always here, always careful not to trouble anyone in the old house.

Therefore, the portrait of the Black old man who was alarmed by Tonks, who was acting rough, was not provoked by her.

Similar to what Marx speculated, these children were nervous when they were sent here. They have a lot of distrust of everyone and things in this world.

In order to try to control them, Lao Renni often used both hard and soft. These children did not see the so-called goodness. But the kind of good past that flows on the surface, waiting for them is always boundless fear and helplessness.

However, distrust and disobedience are two concepts that can be distinguished.

There is no trust in their hearts, even if they are the big brother who saved them from hell, they may not be convinced. Even so, they will never disobey.

There is a reason for them to keep in mind, that is, people who are disobedient are dead.

The dinning table in the kitchen was replaced by a larger long table, which was taken from the living room on the head. Even though the rooms in Black’s old house are very spacious, even the kitchen is the same, but after the long table is placed, it becomes quite crowded.

The children sat quietly at the long table and did not make a slight noise as much as possible.

If someone can observe it carefully during this time, they will find that they are sitting in a fixed position. Since the first time I took a seat here, I have never changed it.

However, this time it is a little different.

It was Isla. She didn’t sit down like other children this time, but she stood on her side with her lips. On her face, the expression of desire and expression is gradually deepening.

It’s lunch time, and there are very few members who stayed at Black’s old house. Plus, Mrs. Weasley went back to The Burrow with Percy, still awake, and the lunch was even more deserted.

“…What’s wrong?” Lupin, sitting on the other side of the long table, asked softly. “Is there anything I want to say? It doesn’t matter, I want to say it, even though it’s okay…”

“Yes, yes! I want to say something and say, this uncle is good to talk!” Lenny is still so lively.

“…Marx, I want to see Marx…” Isla gently said. “Where is he?”

“Oh – he is very busy right now, a bit too far away,” Lupin explained. “But Christmas is coming, he will be back here when he arrives.”

“‘Christmas’?” Isla seems to have some doubts. “What is that?”

Her situation seems to be a bit special, and it is clear that she never knew about this festival.

“Oh… it was a day of sacrifice to thank nature and life. It was a major festival of the ancient Druids. But now the mugdles call it ‘Christmas’, and we are getting used to it… ”

Lupin is naturally surprised that Isla does not know about Christmas, but for the unusual experience of these children, he also got some understanding from Sirius. Therefore, even if he was surprised, he did not go deeper, so as not to accidentally touch the pain in the heart of the child.

However, the more he explained, the more he felt that it was better not to explain, because Isla apparently heard it even more stunned.

“…well, in short, it’s a happy day.” Lupin finally gave up on the idea of ​​Christmas, but chose an easy-to-understand explanation. “When it’s delicious, there’s fun, there’s a gift. ……”

Having said that, he suddenly nodded and smiled and said: “Oh, yes! Remember to prepare for the day, each of you will have a gift!”

“…that is, on that day, will Marx come back?” Isla is obviously not interested in what the gift is. She only cares about whether she can see Marx.

Unlike other children, Isla seems to be very concerned about the big brother who gave her freedom and hope.

“Yes, he will come over that day!” Lupin replied affirmatively. “And I’m sure he also gave you a gift – Marx, who hasn’t made a mistake in this kind of warm little detail!”

“Okay.” Isla nodded a little, and then she opened the chair and sat down. “Thank you for your answer, Mr. Lupin.”

“I said, we don’t have to be so polite, child.” Lupin waved his hand. “Hurry and eat! You don’t have to be so constrained all the time. It will be easier to let go.”

But no matter what he said, these children are always very cautious, as if all this has become their habit.

In the case of trying to keep silent, they quickly solved the food placed on their plates in advance, and then they silently left the dinning table.

From beginning to end, they didn’t even look at the plates in the middle of the dinning table.

Generally speaking, everyone has no food in their plates, and they are free to choose the food they like. But when Mrs. Weasley discovered that these children only took a little bit of food, after running, she had to match them in their respective plates from the beginning.

Because she knows that it is useless to rely on persuasion. If they take it themselves, they will still take only a little.

It is foreseeable that if we want these children to return to normal life, it will take a lot of time to get used to it, and it will not be able to adapt to it in a short while.

“…thank you for your food.”

Isla also finished eating. Like other children, she, after thanking her, walked out of the kitchen in Lupin’s helpless eyes.

“Lena, you are close to these children. How do you feel that you should get along with them?” After watching the children leave, Lupin couldn’t help but turn around and ask, “They always look like this, sure.” It is not very good.”

Lena put down the fork and looked at Lupin with a pretty serious expression.

“do not know.”
