The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"Are we really going to move there?"

In the living room of the shabby room, Mrs. Weasley, who heard the good news, looked at Arthur with confused eyes, hoping to get the answer she wanted from her husband's face.

Just a few hours ago, Mr. Weasley had received a notification from the Ministry of Magic that their family had been included in the second batch of people allowed to move into the Ministry of Magic's shelter.

"Well, it is said that it is a very big house, which can accommodate hundreds of families." Arthur was also a little puzzled, but he still told his wife what he knew: "That big house is protected by the Loyalty Curse , even mysterious people can’t get in.”

"But... can hundreds of people live comfortably in one house?"

Mrs. Weasley really didn't dare to think about what it was like, and she was used to living here.

If it is safe, No. 12 Grimmauld Place, which is protected by the Fidelity Charm, is also safe.

"I heard that the Ministry of Magic is secretly storing a large amount of food there." Arthur paused slightly, recalling the rumors he had inquired about, "It is said that the secret keeper is Albert's child."

In fact, when he received the notice, Arthur was also confused. He hesitated whether to accept the Ministry of Magic's kindness and move into the big house protected by the Fidelity Curse.

I heard from Kingsley that the room size was not too big, but it was not a problem for a family of four or five. The most important thing was safety.

Don't worry about returning home one day and finding the Dark Mark hanging on the top of the house. The most important thing is that the family members of the Aurors live in the house. There are people on duty every day in the whole house, so there is no doubt about the security.

"What do you think?"

Molly still had no idea, so she threw the question to her husband.

"I think it's better to move there. Although the room over there is a bit small, it's better than safety, and many people will move there. We will be neighbors by then!" Arthur considered moving there mainly because of Grimmauld Square The keeper of No. 12 is Dumbledore, and it's not good to stay at Sirius' house all the time, not to mention that he is also the director of the detection and confiscation office of counterfeit defensive spells and protective equipment of the Ministry of Magic, so he should support the work of the Ministry.

Well, in fact, he also took advantage of it.

"Kingsley also suggested that we move there." Arthur noticed that his wife was still staring at him, and continued after a moment of hesitation: "Others may not care, but our family is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, so we need to consider our own safety."

"Or, we'll discuss this matter with Bill when he comes back." Mrs. Weasley was not persuaded, and after much hesitation, she decided to listen to her son's opinion.

"I think we should move in."

At dinner, Bill agreed with Kingsley after listening to the Weasleys.

"I know it's safer there, but..."

"This incident is undoubtedly Albert and Scrimgeour's preparations for the possibility that the Ministry of Magic will be controlled by mysterious people in the future." Bill patiently explained to his mother, "The current peace is only temporary, and the dark forces are absolutely There will be a comeback, so we have to be prepared, and don't forget that we are all in the Order of the Phoenix, and safety is more important than anything else sometimes."

"All right!"

Mrs. Weasley was finally persuaded by her son. If the Death Eaters really wanted to do something to the members of the Order of the Phoenix, the Weasleys would definitely be on the first batch of unlucky lists.

Don't say that Death Eaters can't kill pure blood, those are self-deceiving words, especially after they are so embarrassed by the Ministry of Magic, they always have a ruthless heart in their hearts, and the Weasleys are in their eyes. It's hard to say whether it's pure blood or not!

The next morning, the Weasleys used the Portkey to arrive at the predetermined location of the Ministry of Magic. A large tent had already been set up in front of them. Many employees of the Ministry of Magic were queuing up outside the tent with their families. Patrol all around to escort everyone's safety.

"I thought you were going to give up."

Kingsley stamped a seal on the temporary residence permit and motioned them to sign his name on it.

"There are a lot of people here today, can that house really accommodate so many people?" Arthur looked up at the crowd and couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, you'll know when we see you back. By the way, bring this." Kingsley reminded Arthur after handing over the temporary residence permit, "Go over there, they will take you in, and when the time comes, bring this Give it to them, and you'll get the key to your own room."

After speaking, he waved his hand, motioning for Arthur to make way for the others.

Holding the temporary residence card, Arthur led Molly through the tent to line up in front of another tent. When he walked into the tent, he was shocked to find that there were various black magic detectors in the tent, and the two were detected by Aurors. The device was carefully checked, and it was released after confirming that there was no problem.

"It's so strict!"

Molly was taken aback, not expecting the Ministry to be so cautious.

"It's probably because I'm afraid that something strange will get in." Arthur can understand, after all, it involves the lives of hundreds of families, and this matter cannot be overemphasized.

When they walked into another tent, they found that they ran into Piers Thicknesse, the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Give me the temporary residence permit."

"Oh, here."

Arthur quickly handed over the temporary residence card, and the other party took it and signed his name on it, signaling Arthur to take out a key from the big box.

"Okay, you go over there first to line up, and then go out when you are called.

There were several people queuing up at the tent. They were all senior executives of the Ministry of Magic, at least at the director level. After Scrimgeour proposed the shelter plan, many people came here temporarily to avoid possible dangers.

No one had any reason to believe in the integrity of the Death Eaters, not to mention that when everyone hid, it would be very eye-catching if they didn't come, and they were easy to be targeted by the Death Eaters.

"Amos."

Arthur was a little surprised to see his neighbor.

"Cedric has been targeted by dark wizards. Minister Scrimgeour probably thinks that our family is likely to be the target of dark wizards, and there are still vacancies in the shelter, so my family is assigned a place." Amo Si explained to Arthur.

Mr. Diggory didn't know that they would be here because Cedric had asked Albert to use Scrimgeour's connection to get their places.

After all, Cedric has already been targeted. One day the Death Eaters are really crazy, and they might do stupid things like threatening Cedric with the Diggory family. One time is enough for Pettigrew. up.

"The next one."

An Auror pushed aside the tent curtains and called inside.

Every time the next family was called, someone would come out of the tent, and when it was the Weasleys' turn, Arthur finally knew what was going on.

"Here," said Moody gruffly.

"What's going on?" Molly asked softly.

"Do not talk."

Moody stuffed a piece of crumpled parchment into Molly's hand, and reminded in a low voice: "Look at it quickly, and remember the content on it."

This scene seemed familiar. When they entered No. 12 Grimmauld Place, they seemed to have had a similar experience.

After the two silently read the contents of the parchment in their hearts, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, because the house in front of them was really beyond their expectations.

"Don't stand here, go in!" Moody urged, taking back the parchment.

"okay……"

"This house is really big!" Mrs. Weasley couldn't help but sighed, looking at the hotel in front of her. "I finally know how it can accommodate a hundred households."

"This is a house built by Muggles. You also know that they like to build this kind of big house, which seems to be called a building." Arthur analyzed, "However, I heard that this place was originally a deserted hotel, but I didn't expect it to be so. So big."

The two walked forward at a faster pace. When they entered the hotel along the steps, they found that the door was very lively. The entrance was a guard room. There were several Aurors on duty inside. Arthur knew several of them. After saying hello with a smile, he led Molly inside. There was a group of people gathered in the lobby of the main entrance of the hotel. There were about 30 to [-] people. An Auror was talking to them. The team is Tonks.

"Okay, everyone is here, come with me."

After Tonks handed Arthur a hotel map, he signaled everyone to follow her.

"You can only Apparate directly into the shelter in the future. There is a special entrance here." Tonks led them to the underground parking lot of the hotel, pointing to a large vacant space surrounded by circles: "The whole building is only Apparation is allowed here."

"Can't you just come in from the outside?" Someone asked in confusion.

"It's risky to do that." Tonks reminded, "If the Death Eaters ambushed outside, you are likely to be finished, and even cause unnecessary trouble for everyone."

"There will be at least five wizards stationed here in the future. Those who come back from outside need to be inspected to ensure that there will be no problems with the personnel entering and leaving here. I mean the Imperius Curse." Tonks said what others wanted to say It was blocked back.

"This place will continue to expand in the future, and it will become everyone's activity area." Tonks led everyone to the use area, and continued to introduce, "It is not allowed to cook alone here, you can eat in the cafeteria, right here. "

"Shall we eat here later?"

Everyone looked a bit disturbed that they couldn't afford to pay the Leaky Cauldron.

"Yes, but you don't need to worry. There are food subsidies here, and the price is lower than you think. Moreover, the kitchen is currently recruiting temporary chefs. It is recommended that you can sign up if you are good at cooking. Of course, you can also help with housework. , you know what I mean, there are no house elves here, so we need to recruit some temporary staff to help take care of it, anyway, don't worry about Garen's problem."

Tonks introduced the specific situation in the shelter to everyone one by one.

Everyone was surprised to find that this place has been expanded by the Ministry of Magic, and the area is comparable to a small town. There are not only shops, but even bars, but the activity area is limited to the shelter, which makes them feel a little depressed.
