Chapter 272 Arriving at Black's Old House
Chapter 272 Arriving at Black's Old House
After dinner, I went to the library and sat on the sofa to carefully read the letters Fred had given me.
I read it sentence by sentence. The letter detailed some of the things that happened during their holiday, and it also explained some things that had happened to Harry recently.
"A Dementor? Appearing out of nowhere?" I thought to myself that I seemed to have forgotten something.
I was so focused on building a good relationship with Sirius that I completely forgot about Harry's experiences this holiday.
"The Ministry of Magic is really boring; they can come up with such a lame trick." I'm speechless about those politicians in the Ministry of Magic.
But I really didn't expect that after just traveling back to real time, I would have to go find Blake's old house again.
I ran my hand over the address written on the letter.
"Butler Chen, is my old residence near the Blake mansion still there?" I put down the letter in my hand and took a sip of the fruit tea on the table.
“Young Master, we have always kept that residence. It is now an asset under your name. I have arranged for it to be cleaned regularly.” Although Butler Chen did not ask me what I wanted that residence for before, since the young master needed it, he simply bought it.
“Very good, send all the gifts you have prepared there. I will go there tomorrow.” That place is close to the Blake House. Tomorrow I can just teleport there and walk a few more steps to the Blake House.
"Yes." Butler Chen wouldn't ask any questions; he would just do whatever the young master said.
The next morning, sunlight streamed gently through the window, illuminating the corners of the room.
I got up early and quickly got myself ready.
I looked neatly dressed and full of energy in the mirror.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, a sumptuous breakfast was already laid out on the table.
I enjoyed my meal at a leisurely pace, replenishing my energy for the journey that was about to begin.
After breakfast, I took a deep breath and used 'Apparition'.
After a dizzying moment, I found myself in front of that familiar residence.
Standing inside the house, the gifts that Butler Chen had carefully prepared last night were neatly arranged.
These gifts carry many sentiments, and each one has been carefully selected.
I carefully packed them one by one into my portable backpack.
After packing the gifts, I left my residence and walked to the old Blake House.
Along the way, the surrounding scenery that we saw yesterday kept receding into the distance.
A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, but my heart was filled with turmoil.
The old house in Black holds deep emotional and memory significance for me.
As you walk in, the solemn outline of the Black House gradually comes into view.
The towering iron gate and the mottled stone walls seem to tell the story of time.
I slowly approached and pushed open the heavy iron door. With a creak, the sound echoed in the silent air.
The flowers and plants in the courtyard are still there, but they have been neglected for a long time and look a bit overgrown.
As I walked along the familiar path, memories flooded back like a tide.
The time I spent here was filled with laughter, heartwarming reunions, and also bittersweet farewells.
Finally, I arrived at the front gate of the old house.
I raised my hand and gently knocked on the door, the sound crisp and strong.
Before long, the door slowly opened, and a familiar scene appeared before them.
I took a deep breath. I'm not Elsa Hall anymore. I quickly composed myself and pretended it was my first time here.
"Ayers, you're here." Fred's eyes lit up as soon as he opened the door and saw me.
"How was your holiday?" I walked in with a smile, gave Fred a light hug, and then a cheek kiss as a greeting.
"It's alright, I've been staying at home the whole time, it's just a bit boring."
Fred hasn't been in contact with Ayers for a while now, and he misses him quite a bit.
"Is your whole family here?" I let go of Fred, then gently wrapped my arms around George behind him and gave him a cheek kiss.
“Yes, our whole family is here.” George also missed Ayers; it had been quite a while since the two brothers had been close to Ayers.
"Lead the way, I still need to say hello to Mrs. Weasley." After all, this is the entrance, not the room, so we can just say hello briefly.
Fred and George knew their place and led me directly to the reception hall.
I had just stepped into the hall when Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen.
"Oh~ my baby Ayers~ you're here." Mrs. Weasley was as enthusiastic as ever. As soon as she saw me, she put down the snacks she was holding and came over to give me a hug.
"Yes, Mrs. Weasley, it's been a long time." He gave Mrs. Weasley a light hug, then took out the gift he had prepared and handed it to her.
Also, bring gifts for Fred and George.
"Oh dear, no need to be so polite. Come, have a taste of my pastries." Mrs. Weasley took the gift box and placed it on the table, then picked up some of her homemade pastries and stuffed them directly into my hands.
"Delicious." I gave Mrs. Weasley face and took it out and put it in my mouth to chew.
"If you like it, eat more." As a chef, I love it when people praise my food.
"Okay, thank you. By the way, has the rest of you arrived yet?" I ate a few pieces of pastry and then stopped, feeling that if I ate too much, I wouldn't be able to eat a proper meal later.
"Hermione might be here a bit later. Professor Sirius and Professor Lupin seem to be out running some errands." Fred said, munching on his mother's homemade snacks while fiddling with the gift I had given him, but he didn't open it right away.
“Ronnie is still taking a nap in his room, Percy and Dad are still at the Ministry of Magic, Harry probably won’t be able to come until tonight,” George replied, eating as he did Fred.
"Then let's just chat and eat here while we wait for them to arrive." Given my current status, it's not appropriate for me to wander around Blake's old house.
Next came my chat with Fred, George, and the others. We talked and laughed about our vacation.
Mrs. Weasley would occasionally sit down and listen to our conversation, but she would just listen and then go back to the kitchen to eat.
As time went by, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"It looks like Hermione might have arrived." We were all drawn to the doorbell.
"I'll go open the door then." Fred put down the cookies he was holding and jogged over to open the door.
“Let’s wait here,” I said to George with a smile.
“Okay, let’s wait for them,” George said to me with a smile.
As the door opened, we could hear Hermione speaking.
"Fred, I think I've arrived at the right time," Hermione said, pushing her suitcase as she walked in.
She was invited to stay here, so she brought her luggage with her.
"Only Ayers is here now; we're chatting and eating," Fred replied.
