Chapter 543 Check-In
After chatting for a while, Sirius took the lead and walked in front, taking Fish and Hermione to see their rooms in their home.
As the oldest ancestral home of the Black family, there are naturally many rooms here, and not counting Bellatrix who is still in Azkaban and has married, Sirius is the only one left in the Black family, so those rooms are basically idle.
Sirius led the way while introducing the house to Fish.
"So this is your home?"
(°ω°≡°ω°)
Fish followed behind Sirius, looking around curiously, and frowned when he saw a row of elf heads hanging on the wall.
He had seen on TV that some Muggles like to hang the heads of animals they hunted on the wall. Fish didn't like this kind of thing, and Sirius's house even hung elf heads...
Fish, who had some opinions about him because of Snape, disliked him even more.
(ω)
However, Sirius soon discovered that Fish was acting strange, and he explained with the same disgust: "This is a family tradition 'invented' by my aunt - when the house elves are too old to carry plates, their heads are chopped off."
"Oh my God! This is too cruel!" Hermione exclaimed on the side.
Sirius shrugged, "But this practice soon became popular among those pure-blood families, and many elves even took pride in it... That's why I ran away from home."
After his explanation, Fish's face became better, and he also knew that the brains of those house elves were a little strange.
Fish continued to look around, and then asked, "Haven't you and Lupin lived here for more than a year? Why is it still so messy?"
ω
"This... ahahahaha..."
Sirius scratched his head with a dry laugh, "My ancestral home is too big," he made excuses for himself, "Usually, there are only me and Moony living here, and at most Kreacher, so there is no cleaning."
Mrs. Weasley rolled her eyes behind her, "Huh! Men!"
"Who is Kreacher?"
ω
Fish continued to ask curiously.
"He is our elf." Sirius's face was not very good, but he looked a little disgusted. "His biggest dream is to hang his head on the wall of this house after his death."
The cat was very interested in Kreacher, "Where is he? Fish wants to meet him meow."
"Oh... then you will be very disappointed." Sirius curled his lips and said, "He is different from those friendly elves in Hogwarts. He is a crazy old guy."
"Crazy old guy? Like Albus meow?"
ω
Fish blinked and said.
"Hahaha! If it's a comparison of madness, the two of them are probably really about the same." Sirius was also very interested in teasing Dumbledore. He grinned and laughed.
Mrs. Weasley, who was following them, was not happy. She shouted sharply: "Sirius! How dare you say that about Dumbledore!"
"Hey, Molly, I'm just joking with Fish." Sirius waved his hand carelessly.
"Don't joke like that!" Molly took two steps forward and hugged the cat, "What if Fish takes it seriously?!"
"Didn't Fish say Dumbledore like that first?" Sirius didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Mrs. Weasley turned her head to look at the cat and taught it, "Fish, you can't say that about Dumbledore. He is a great wizard and you should respect him."
"But..." Fish shook his ears, glanced at the frightened twins, and said, "Rita said the same thing in the newspaper, and Albus said he liked her report very much."
"Uh..." Mrs. Weasley was speechless, and the twins breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, at this time, they came to the room prepared for Fish and Hermione.
"This is your room," Sirius opened the door with the bedroom door handle in the shape of a snake head, then winked at Hermione and pointed to the left, saying, "Your room is next to Fish's room, Hermione." Then he pointed to the right, "Professor McGonagall's room is on the other side."
"Meow~"
(=`=)
Without saying anything, Fish turned back into a cat and began to rub around the room, leaving a few claw marks from time to time to mark the territory.
Then, Hermione also turned into a little black cat, jumped onto the chair and lay down.
Sirius thought about it and turned into a big black dog, and then the twins came to join in the fun...
In a blink of an eye, the room that was originally full of people was left with only Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Ginny.
"Should I also learn Animagus?" Ron couldn't help mumbling as he envied his two brothers flying around the room.
"No!" Mrs. Weasley shouted, "You have to take your O.W.L. exams this year! I won't let you be distracted by other things!" She pointed at the magpies that George and Fred had turned into with great anguish, "The two of them spent too much time on these things, which led to their failure to get good grades!"
"Don't worry, Mom," Ginny rolled her eyes and said, "Ron has said this more than a dozen times, but I haven't seen him do it."
"Ginny!" Ron shouted at his sister who didn't give him face.
However, Ginny didn't bother to pay attention to him at all. After curling her lips, she ran to Fish who was still marking the territory everywhere, picked him up, and then began to play with the cat happily.
Mrs. Weasley was also very troubled by this group of little guys. She shook her head and said, "I should go prepare lunch. George, Fred, you two come and help!"
The twins fell from the sky helplessly and turned back into human form.
"It's rare for Fish to come here. We should play with him for a while, Mom." George fought for it. They also wanted to discuss with Fish about the sales strategy of their Weasley Trickster.
Although Bagman only returned the principal to them in the end, plus the money they earned last year, if they work harder this year, they should be able to open a store in Diagon Alley.
The twins have made plans. They will graduate after this year, and it will be perfect for them to open a store in Diagon Alley.
So this year's turnover is very important to them.
However, Mrs. Weasley doesn't care about these things. She only knows that George and Fred's O.W.L. scores are far worse than their three brothers, so they have no status in her eyes. Whenever there is a chance, Mrs. Weasley will drag the twins to do housework.
This time is no exception...
"Stop talking nonsense! Fish is accompanied by Hermione and Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley put her hands on her waist and yelled at the twins, then she turned her eyes to Ron who was shrinking aside, "And you! Ron! Have you finished your homework?! If your O.W.L. scores this year are the same as your two brothers, you know the consequences!"
Ron showed a painful expression on his face.
Mrs. Weasley seemed to be worried that he would repeat the mistakes of the twins, so she suddenly started to catch up with his studies this summer. Not only did she remind him to do his homework every day, but she also asked Percy to go to Ron's room every night to tutor him.
"Summer vacation has just begun... Mom..." Ron complained reluctantly, but he walked out the door obediently.
It's not like he didn't try to negotiate with Mrs. Weasley, but unfortunately he was forcibly suppressed by the other party.
Mrs. Weasley left Fish's room with her three sons. Sirius saw that only Fish and the two little girls were left in the room, so he shook his body and changed back, and followed them out.
After they all walked out of the room, Mrs. Weasley suddenly turned back and said to the two cats earnestly: "Fish, Hermione, if you have time, you two should also read more books. You will take the O.W.L. exam this year. This is very important for wizards and is related to your future work."
Her words had no effect on Fish, but Hermione became nervous because of it.
Hermione immediately returned to her human form, then took out a copy of "Standard Spells: Grade 4" from her handbag and began to read it carefully.
Recently, she had been running around and playing with Fish in Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest. Except for doing holiday homework together at night, she had never read the textbooks, which was unimaginable for Hermione.
Just when she was about to regain her enthusiasm for learning, Fish broke free from Ginny's arms, jumped to Hermione's feet, put his two front paws on Hermione's knees, and looked at her eagerly.
(=ω=)
"Meow~"
Although Hermione in human form could not understand cat language, she also understood what Fish meant - the cat wanted her to tell him a story.
Miss Know-it-all looked at the textbook in her hand in a tangled manner, and then looked at Fish...
"Snap!"
She slammed the textbook in her hand shut and took out a storybook again.
Review or something...
We'll talk about it next time!
