But she didn't trust Dumbledore, not since her son and daughter-in-law joined the Order of the Phoenix.
When her son and daughter-in-law died, she didn't believe it even more.
An old man in his seventies was unwilling to hand over his grandson to the greatest white wizard of this century.
This old lady didn't have much contact with Dumbledore. Although she opposed the pure-blood family's approach, she also didn't approve of the Order of the Phoenix's approach.
This is a matter of philosophy. She does not deny Dumbledore's greatness, but sometimes this greatness seems too cruel.
After all, she was an old lady who came from a big family, married into another big family, and held power for decades.
She doesn't believe those great reasons easily.
Many people say they are great, but they don’t know what they are thinking in their hearts. She has seen too much.
As for Dumbledore, she couldn't understand him.
On the contrary, the old lady has a good relationship with Professor McGonagall.
And Neville, who was shy and never able to become strong, had always been a worry for her. Not to mention supporting the entire Longbottom family in the future, it's hard to say whether he can survive.
The Boy Who Lived! This is an honor and also a pressure.
But now, under the influence of Ted and other friends, Neville has finally strengthened and can finally begin to try to bear the pressure brought by the Boy-Who-Lived.
He has his own close friends and comrades...
Such an open and honest conversation made Ted's favor double.
He really doesn't want to play tricks with these people and play a game of guessing or not.
His time is valuable.
This was also the reason why he and Dumbledore talked and finally reached an agreement.
Ted told him his plan and wanted several families to run the Salted Fish House together. Grandma Neville was very happy and agreed.
"If you don't tell me, I also want to remind you, should you be careful about attracting too much attention?"
Ted had a sumptuous meal at Longbottom Manor, and the dishes were actually handed down from the Hogwarts kitchen.
Before leaving, Ted persuaded Neville and asked his grandmother to buy him a wand of his own - he used his father's wand.
Ted and the others only found out after Neville comforted Ron who had lost his old wand after the Battle of the Chamber of Secrets.
Ron: Sad? I'm not sad! Let that damn wand disappear from my memory! I never want to think about wands and slugs again! I'm going to buy a new one~~~
Afterwards, Ted went to Blake's ancestral home, No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
To be honest, this is a real bunker!
Ted can be regarded as well-informed. Not to mention all kinds of knowledge about other worlds, the strange items and information brought by Salty Fish Net make him more knowledgeable than many closed-minded old wizards.
But when I came to the Black ancestral home at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, which was featured in a lot of the original work, I was still shocked!
This is simply a small magic bunker!
Various defensive magics, ritual magics, alarm magics, white magics, black magics...are intertwined together. If you look at it with mystical vision, it will look like a bright galaxy in front of you.
Various magics are intertwined and intertwined in an orderly manner to form an overall magical defense, which is very clever and grand.
If this thing hadn't been built and operated by several generations, it would be impossible to even think about it.
No wonder it was later used as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. It was really safe.
This is much stronger than the Longbottom family's manor - the Longbottom family's manor uses a large-scale defense system based on magical plants, magical animals and magic circles. A magical token is required to reach through the magical shield.
As for the Weasley's Humble House...um, goblin and ghoul defense? Forget it, let’s talk about something else?
Compared to the grandness of the Longbottom family, Sirius was very casual.
Not to mention being dressed up, a few buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and his palms were exposed to protect his heart hair.
However, he was very enthusiastic and gave Ted a bear hug when he came up, then put his arm around Ted's shoulders and chatted and laughed.
Not like an elder, but like a congenial big brother.
Of course, he was chased away by Ms. Olivia without saying a few words: "Go and change clothes! It's so rude!"
This lady is very cultivated, intellectual, gentle, dignified and generous. Harry has a very high status in her heart, well, even more than Sirius.
Fortunately, she had this lady's guidance. Otherwise, under Sirius's guidance, Harry might have directly accepted Malfoy as his younger brother, formed an evil force in Hogwarts, and directly demolished the school.
After the meal, Ted, led by Harley, visited this huge ancestral house that was four or five stories high, with a basement and a prison.
Harry introduced him to many strange magical items, as well as portraits of past family heads hanging on the wall, and even a few house elf heads!
What the hell! Are you treating this as a hunting specimen?
Harry also explained with an embarrassed look: "This was a family habit in the past. We have stopped doing this a long time ago. It was originally meant to be taken off and buried, but Kreacher (their family's elder elf, who is almost 120 years old) I will live and die if I don’t agree..."
"He also said that after he died, he wanted Sirius to use the family's secret method to keep his head and hang it on the wall like his predecessors of previous generations, to show that he had served the family wholeheartedly for one hundred and twenty years. credit!"
It is said that soon after a house elf dies, its body decomposes and turns into magic. I really can’t save my head without using secret methods...
Ted took the time to tell Sirius about joining the Salted Fish House.
In Sirius' opinion, it was just borrowing the name of the Black family.
You can borrow it from relatives you don't like, but wouldn't it be better to lend it to young people you like?
He doesn't care about money or not, distribution of interests, division of power, etc.
The proper behavior of a rich and handsome young man~
He told Ted about the mischievous things his group did in school, the amazing magic they developed, the magic props they made in private, and their night tours! Forbidden forest! Teaming up for adventures during the holidays, etc... There's a light in the eye.
Although Sirius is married and looks quite mature on the surface, a man will remain a teenager until he dies, and what he misses most is still the best period of his youth...
He even quietly asked Ted what he thought of Harley? Do you have any reasonable ideas?
Ted said: No! We're just good friends, that's all.
Sirius was very sorry and seemed to be very optimistic about Ted.
Ted: I know the West is early in this regard, but we are only 12 years old! Is there any mistake?
Maybe the big family has already made plans in this regard.
Sirius sighed, wondering which unlucky guy his daughter would take advantage of in the end, cough! What a lucky guy!
Finally, Ted paid another visit to the cottage.
On the one hand, it is to borrow the ancient title of the Weasley family.
The Weasley family is different from other magical families. They are really from the bottom of the family. It can be seen from the red hair on their heads that they have the blood of ancient Celts. Compared with later families such as Malfoy and Potter, More ancient.
Secondly, it was also La Weasley.
The second grade of school was originally about to start, and the couple was already starving just to have several children go to school.
Unexpectedly, the speeding car got into an accident, and he was punished and fined. For a family that was not already wealthy, this was just adding insult to injury!
Now Tedra's hand can be increased by thirty or forty galleons every month, and he suddenly has a lot of money.
At least it can give the children two more sets of clothes, right?
The couple disagreed with this at first, always feeling like they were taking advantage of the younger generation.
Ted repeatedly said that he wanted Weasley, who had a high population and high status in the wizarding world, to help support the situation, and the couple did not plan to ask for money yet.
Ted also said that the other two companies have money to take, so it’s a shame if you don’t take them. This is what settles the matter.
In addition to the three, Ted also joined Giggs and his already-lover Ms. Purnell (the one who opened the beauty shop), as well as Old Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.
Well, even those with whom I have good relationships and those who are kind to me are not left behind.
Before leaving, Ted discussed buying a wand with Ron - Ron delayed it for more than two weeks and didn't buy a wand - he was actually reluctant to spend the money!
Ron: I earned that by spitting out slugs and sacrificing my butt to fight a basilisk!
Finally, Ted made an appointment with him to buy wands with Neville on the same day.
How can a wizard not have a wand? !
After Ted left, Aunt Molly, who had a very keen ear, approached Ron.
"Little Ronnie~ You want to buy a wand? That's a good thing! Where did you get the money?"
Ron single-handedly made nearly 10 gold dragons by selling the amulet with slug and panic.
After the Chamber of Secrets incident, Ted also got him a compensation from Dumbledore.
After all, he sacrificed his wand to defeat the basilisk! 10 galleons wand loss fee.
Now I have nearly 20 galleons on hand, which is already several times the family's savings.
Oh no, now the family has a negative deposit.
Ron: I can’t spend it all, I can’t spend it all~
Ginny: Brother, our family is rich!
Aunt Molly: Come on, mom will save it for you so you can marry a wife later!
Ron's head shook like a rattle: No! I won't marry that thing! No one can take away my money~
Aunt Molly: Nonsense, how can you not marry a wife!
Ron had a deep look on his face and whispered: Mom, I saw your letter at Lockhart's...
Now that Lockhart's story of stealing people has been exposed, facing the shameful situation of a middle-aged idol whose house collapsed, Aunt Molly said slightly embarrassed: Forget it, you are old too, keep the money and don't spend it randomly. ~
