Chapter 199 Temporary Residence
It was inevitable that Harry was locked up by the Dursleys.
In fact, according to him, the Dursleys' attitude was not as bad this summer, but Dudley was attacked by Dementors, and the couple's attitude returned to what it was before.
Harry cannot leave that home for the time being, as the one-month deadline has expired, but the Order of the Phoenix needs to gather manpower to transfer him safely.
At the same time, Gloria came to Sirius's house through the fireplace.
The room is very clean, not because the person who lives here is very tidy, but because the elf she sent is serious and dedicated enough.
Snapped!
"Dear Miss Gloria, you are here, do you need tea?" The elf who was helping here was very happy.
"No need." Gloria said, "Where are Sirius and the others?"
"In the conference room..."
She walked straight to the meeting room, "I'll go find them, you continue with your work."
Before he reached the door, the door of the conference room opened automatically, and sitting opposite the door was Headmaster Dumbledore.
"Gloria, come in."
There were people sitting around the conference table, with a few familiar faces. She mainly looked at Professor Snape and Tonks.
Gloria sat down directly next to Tonks, and the two shook hands when they met, and everything was said without words.
"We are discussing the transfer of Harry." Dumbledore said directly, "For safety reasons, more people are needed to escort Harry. We have just decided on the escorts. The fireplace is easy to be detected by the Ministry of Magic, and Apparition is not suitable for multiple people to transfer together, so we will escort him on broomsticks."
Gloria looked at her nose and thought, "This is an internal decision of the Order of the Phoenix."
Basically, this has little to do with me.
"About Dementors..."
Gloria was not surprised that Dumbledore would mention this. "The Dementors are still under the control of the Ministry of Magic. I have not been to Azkaban since my second year."
Several Ministry officials looked over, including Moody.
"Is that what I understood?" Kingsley Shacklebolt remembered that Dumbledore had not mentioned this, only that the child could control Dementors. "She's only in second year!"
That's Azkaban, and even powerful adult wizards can't get away with it there.
Sirius touched his nose uncomfortably, "This has to do with her family, not her age."
Gloria simply interrupted them and said, "Since the Dementors are still under the management of the Ministry of Magic, the one who ordered them to attack Harry can only be an official of the Ministry of Magic. As for whether someone deliberately led away the people guarding him, that is something you should investigate."
Tonks nodded seriously, "I think what Leah said makes sense."
The Ministry of Magic is in a mess right now. Fortunately, she is an Auror and follows orders. Her superiors and senior officials from other departments are very busy.
Kingsley exchanged glances with the other officers, "We will investigate. The problem now is that Sirius's residence is quite far from Little Whinging where Harry is. It would take several hours to fly here by broom."
Tonks was one of the escort members. "It took several hours. Even at night we had to avoid the sight of the Muggles. Their lights were very bright. We must have flown high. By the time we got here, we would have been frozen stiff."
Sirius spread his hands, "Why don't we cast a warming spell on each other?"
"We need to conserve our strength." Moody rejected the proposal out of hand.
Gloria glanced at the people around her and had an idea in her mind, "I have an empty house in London that I can lend to you temporarily until the end of the holiday."
"Could it be..." Sirius' tone was uncertain. The first thing he thought of was the Black mansion.
"It's not the Black House, but another residence, an asset purchased by my grandfather. He wasn't often in the manor at the time, so he bought a place to stay." She said, "The place where Slytherin lives has a lot of protection, so it won't be a problem for them to survive this summer."
Dumbledore said nothing, only questioned everyone with his blue eyes.
Of course everyone had no objection, including Moody, who was the most suspicious.
Dumbledore made the final decision, "Since Gloria is willing to lend a hand, the meeting will be temporarily moved to the house she provided before school starts."
Sirius slammed the table. As Harry's godfather, he was also one of the escorts.
"Then let's set off as soon as possible."
Gloria sighed secretly, "Even if you trust me enough, you still have to go to the house in person to check it out, so as not to pick up someone and look around on the road."
Everyone: "..."
·
After looking at the house and confirming the location, the Order of the Phoenix decided to pick up Harry that night.
The house Gloria provided was very large, with three floors in total. Just like the luxurious configuration of the Slytherin family, it had all kinds of decorations. Their family was accustomed to the luxury of gold.
In order to take Harry's feelings into consideration, the Weasley family always stayed with Harry whenever they came here.
After all, he had just been attacked by Dementors and was almost expelled from Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic.
Mrs. Weasley has to take care of the lives of a whole house of people, and of course there will be house-elves to help.
Hermione also received the news and came over.
Gloria was left for dinner, and now in the house were Mrs. Weasley and the elf, busying about in the kitchen.
The Weasley twins have grown up and can use magic outside. After learning how to Apparate and becoming familiar with the layout of the house, they begin to Apparate without restraint, and the crackling sound echoes in this spacious house.
Snapped!
The two appeared beside Gloria.
Fred was still excited. "Gloria, are all your houses so clean?"
George looked around and said, "We thought about looking around the corners to see if there were any vixen or something, but..."
Gloria was puzzled, "Fox Charm? What do you want?"
Fred: "Of course, Harry gave us his 500 Galleons, so we must do something big."
"The next school term will be our last year..." George glanced carefully in the direction of the kitchen. "We plan to open a store right after graduation, and we're already selecting a location."
Gloria remembered the previous agreement on cooperation, "Then give me a share of the investment. We agreed before that you want Fox Charm for the product, right? I can provide the materials, including the funds."
During the holiday, their mother almost pulled their ears and told them that they would go to work in the Ministry of Magic. When the Weasley twins heard that there was really an investment, they were overjoyed.
Fred: "Okay, we'll go and sign a contract for the cooperation later."
George: "Give it to you as soon as possible."
"I'm not in a hurry." Gloria said, "Just ask the elf to give it to me when I'm done writing it."
The two brothers stopped wandering around and clattered up the stairs to their room to look for parchment and quills.
Hermione had just put away her luggage when she saw the twins' excitement from upstairs.
"What happened to them?"
Gloria said, "We talked about some cooperation and they are quite happy." She then asked, "How are you doing in Bulgaria?"
Hermione said shyly, "That's great. Krum's parents welcomed me very warmly." Her cheeks turned red when she said this.
She understands a lot without having to say anything.
Feeling a gaze directed at her, Gloria looked up and saw Ron standing at the stairs on the second floor with a resentful look in his eyes.
Hermione noticed it too, but before she could say anything, the door opened and Sirius was followed by a group of people.
Ron didn't care about his resentment and hurried downstairs. Hermione had already rushed to the door and hugged Harry.
