Genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Previously, when Maca was busy back and forth between the United States and the United Kingdom, the Black House was not idle.Voldemort's penetration of the Ministry of Magic has never stopped.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix don't have much time to rest, because there will always be tasks placed in front of them one after another, making them even lack of relief.

Kingsley's physical condition is good, and he, who is concerned about the Ministry of Magic's situation, just happened to return to his post and continue to run for the Order of the Phoenix.

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

Now Sirius has finally returned, but judging from his injury, taking a good rest is his first priority.So even if he wanted to help Lupin, Lupin pushed him decisively on the bed.

But to be honest, the Black House is now much more lively than it was when it was just rebuilt.

Among the children that Maca rescued from the dungeon, the children who were simply taken abducted have been sent back to their homes as they wished; while the other children who had nowhere to go for various reasons were left behind. Black House continues to look for a possible way out.

In any case, these children have one thing in common, that is, they have all experienced the first magical rampage, and they are children with a gift for wizards.After this incident, as soon as they reach their age, they will probably be accepted as students by the magic school.

And the little girl who was rescued from the cage by Maca was one of the remaining children.Her name is called—

"...Isra, I'm eating."

The older sister Lena of the pair of werewolf sisters still has the appearance of cherishing words like gold, even if she is facing a child, she is no different from usual.

However, after living in the Black House for so long, she is not completely unchanged.

For example, her cooking skills seem to be more exquisite than Mrs. Weasley.Just because she always likes to try a variety of "new menus", which leads to a strange-looking dish on the table from time to time.

But it can be seen that at least she is really used to the leisurely life here.As long as sister Lenny is happy every day, she can also enjoy it in her own way.

"I see." Isla, who was sitting on the stairs in a daze, nodded after hearing this.

This little girl was obviously frightened in the dungeon, and before being captured by the old wizard, she seemed to have encountered some painful past events.Such an experience made her very often just in a daze, not very talkative.

Speaking of which, when Maca met her in the dungeon, she was already extremely dirty.The black, dry blood was mixed with mud and dust, the damaged clothes and the long hair that had been tying up, all looked like a broken doll turned out of a trash can.

But when she was sent here and cleaned up again, Mrs. Weasley waited a while, only to find that she was a pretty little girl.

I am afraid that only an old wizard like Lenney who only cared about research would torture such a cute little girl into that way without mercy?

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

Isla pursed her mouth, but did not immediately get up to go to the kitchen, still sitting on the wooden steps of the stairs, seeming to be thinking about something.

When Lena came downstairs with five or six children, she stood up gently and walked slowly to the opposite corridor without a word.

You should keep as quiet as possible when passing this corridor.These children who have experienced hell are very sensible and obviously more mature than their peers.They are here, always cautious,

Therefore, the portrait of the old lady Black, who was always alarmed by Tonks who was acting rough, did not provoke her once by these children.

As Maca guessed, these children were very nervous when they were sent here.They have a large degree of distrust of all people and things in this world.

In order to try to control them, the old Lenny often used both soft and hard. It is not that these children have never seen the so-called beauty.But when the beautiful past flows on the surface, what awaits them is always boundless fear and helplessness.

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

There is no need for trust in their hearts, even if it is the big brother who rescued them from hell, they may not be convinced in their hearts.But even so, they will never be disobedient.

There is one truth they keep in mind, and that is-disobedient people are already dead.

The dining table in the kitchen was replaced with a larger long table, which was taken from the living room above.Even though the rooms in Black’s old house are very spacious, even the kitchen is the same, but after setting this long table, it has become quite crowded.

The children sat quietly at the long table, making as little noise as possible.

If someone can observe carefully during this period, they will find that they are sitting in a fixed position.From the first time I sat here for dinner, I have never changed.

However, this time it was a little different.

It was Isla, but instead of sitting down like other children, she stood on one side with her lips pressed.The expression on her face gradually deepened.

It was lunch time now, and there were very few members who stayed in Black’s old house to dine; coupled with the fact that Mrs. Weasley went back to the Burrow with Percy who was still not awake yesterday, the lunch seemed even more deserted.

"...What's the matter?" Lupin, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, asked softly, "Is there anything I want to say? It's okay, just say it if you want to, it's okay..."

"Yeah, yes! Just say what you want, this uncle is easy to talk!" Lenny was still so lively.

"...Maca, I want to see Maca..." Isla said softly, "Where is he?"

"Oh-he's very busy right now, a little can't walk away," Lupin explained, "but Christmas is coming soon, and he will be back here then."

"'Christmas'?" Isla seemed a little puzzled, "What is that?"

Her situation seemed a bit special, and it was obvious that she had never known about this festival.

"Uh... that was a sacrificial day used to thank nature and life. It was a major festival of ancient Druids. But now Muggles call it'Christmas', so we are getting used to... …"

Lupin was naturally surprised that Isla didn't know about Christmas, but for the unusual experiences of these children, he could be regarded as gaining some insight from Sirius.So no matter how surprised he was, he didn't go into it, so as not to accidentally touch the pain in the child's heart.

It's just that the more he explained, the more he felt that it was better not to explain, because Isla was obviously more at a loss.

"...Well, in short, it's a happy day." Lupin finally gave up his plan to understand the origin of Christmas, but chose a simple and easy-to-understand explanation. "At that time there will be delicious, fun, and gift……"

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

"...That means that when that day comes, Maca will be back?" Isla is obviously not interested in gifts or anything, she only cares about seeing Maca.

Unlike other children, Isla seemed to be very concerned about the older 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 gifts-Maca, this person has never made mistakes in such heart-warming little details. !"

"Okay." Isla nodded slightly, then pulled her chair away and sat down, "Thank you for your answer, Mr. Lupin."

"I said, don't be so polite with us, boy." Lupin waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and eat! You don't need to be so restrained 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.

While keeping as silent as possible, they quickly settled the food that had been placed on their plates, and then thanked them and left the table in silence.

From beginning to end, they never even glanced at the plates in the middle of the table.

Generally speaking, everyone has no food on the plate, 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 and ran after eating, she had to match them on their respective plates from the beginning.

Because she knew that it was useless to rely on persuasion alone, if they took it themselves, they would still take only that little bit.

It is foreseeable that in order for these children to return to their normal lives, it will take a lot of time to get used to it.

"...Thank you for your food."

Isla had finished eating too. Like other children, after thanking her, she walked out of the kitchen slowly in Lupin's somewhat helpless gaze.

"Lena, you are relatively close to these children, how do you think you should get along with them?" After watching the children leave one by one, Lupin couldn't help turning his head and asked, "They always look like this. It must be not so good."

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