However, from the photos that Elwyn received, Gabrielle was actually about the same size as Elaine …
Based on this, Hibiscus Chinensis's statement should not be valid, because Elaine was definitely not a mature girl.
In addition, Hibiscus Chinensis also told them that Gabrielle had previously wanted to apply to study at Hogwarts as an exchange student.
However, due to the current situation, her application was eventually abandoned.
Because Hibiscus Chinensis's voice was too loud, Lady Weasley glared at her with dissatisfaction.
She frowned and kept adjusting the volume with her wand, causing Serena to sing louder and louder.
"Oh, come and stir my pot of soup."
"If you do it right, I will boil up my hot love and keep you warm tonight."
Under the cover of a particularly jazzy song, "A Pot of Hot Love," Fred, George, Ginny, and Elaine were playing Exploding Cards behind the Christmas tree, and the sound of explosions was endless. Harry, Ron, and Mr. Weasley were discussing something at the dining table, which seemed to be about Muggle Radio and TV.
There was also Lupin, who was also spending Christmas at the Burrow.
After not seeing him for a few months, he looked especially haggard.
Lupin sat by the fireplace, staring into the depths of the fire as if he was thinking about something, as if he could not hear Serena's voice.
Elwyn looked in Lupin's direction, and after saying goodbye to Hermione, Bill, and Hibiscus Chinensis, he came to Lupin's side.
"You look really bad," Elwyn said.
"Yeah, really bad. You know, I work underground, and I can't see the sun, and I can't contact anyone. This will expose me, so I can only sneak out at this time. " Lupin said with a smile, but it made him look even more haggard. There were deep shadows under his eyes, and he looked malnourished.
Elwyn knew that Lupin was hiding among the werewolves and acting as a spy for the Order of the Phoenix.
The job was dangerous and tiring.
He hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask, "How's the progress?"
"Not much progress. It's difficult to gain their trust. I have the distinct mark of having lived among wizards, and they have always avoided the normal society, living on the fringes of the magic world, stealing to eat, and sometimes killing. I have seen them a few times. " Lupin said, "But I still managed to obtain some useful information. You went to the underground world of Knockout Alley three months ago, right?"
"We were following Malfoy and met Greyback there. Did he recognize us?"
"I don't think so. He only thought you were a few lost Hogwarts students, but I knew it was you the moment I heard it." Lupin said, "Listen, Elwyn, I know your strength, but you shouldn't take the risk, especially when Harry …"
"I don't need to be taken care of, I'm not a child anymore." Harry said, his head tilted to this side, and joined the conversation. "Malfoy is really suspicious. Remus, we can now confirm that he is a Death Eater, and Lord Voldemort gave him a mission. He must be planning to do something …"
He repeated the conversation he overheard last night, and looked at Lupin expectantly.
Lupin was silent for a moment, and asked, "Did you tell Dumbledore?"
"I did, but Dumbledore told me to stay out of it," Harry said gloomily. "Malfoy and Snape are plotting something right under our noses, but Dumbledore doesn't think it's important."
"The principal has his own plans," Elwyn comforted him.
"That's right, but he won't say anything."
"I think since Dumbledore didn't say anything, it might not really be important, or he didn't think it was time to say it," Lupin said. "I don't know Draco Draco very well. "I don't know much about Draco Malfoy, but I trust him when it comes to Severus. I know you don't like to hear this, Harry, but Dumbledore trusts Severus, and that should be enough for us. If you trust Dumbledore's judgment, then you should trust Severus. "
"But Dumbledore also makes mistakes …" Harry argued.
"You're determined to hate Severus, Harry, just like you're determined to hate Draco." Lupin smiled weakly. "I understand. Jaime is your father, and Sirius is your godfather. They once had so many unpleasant things with Severus, and you've inherited a prejudice from them. But the truth may not be what you think. Maybe Dumbledore ordered Severus to ask Draco, or maybe Draco had no choice but to do something for the Lord Voldemort. That's why Dumbledore wasn't so surprised by what you said, and told you to stay out of it. "
Harry didn't say anything. He had to say that Lupin was still very rational, much more rational than Sirius.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What's going on between you and Tonks?"
"There's nothing between us." There was a hint of panic on Lupin's face, and he wasn't as confident as before.
"Nothing?" Elwyn said. "She looks as haggard as you now."
"She, I just …" Lupin was silent for a moment. "Is she okay?"
"I don't know. You should ask her herself," said Elwyn. "I don't think she cares about your identity as a werewolf."
Lupin looked at him in surprise. "You know? Yes, I'm a werewolf. It's a cursed identity. When I transform, I can't guarantee how much sanity I have left, so, so, I can't … "
"We all think you're normal, no different from others. Tonks thinks so too."
Lupin shook his head stubbornly, just as he had said to Harry. Harry had inherited a prejudice from his father, Jaime and Sirius, which made him determined to hate Snape. Lupin was the same. His identity as a werewolf gave him a prejudice and an inferiority complex, which made him avoid Tonks.
Only he could understand this kind of thing, and no one else could help.
It was Christmas Eve, and it was really inappropriate to bring up two unpleasant topics in a row.
At this time, Serena ended her singing with a long high note.
"Now that you've torn it apart, please give me back my heart!"
Loud applause came from the radio. Lady Weasley also clapped excitedly.
"That's it?" said Hibiscus Chinensis loudly. "Thank God, it's so awful!"
Hermione stuck out her tongue and sat next to Elwyn. She was glad to get rid of Hibiscus Chinensis.
Fred, George, Ginny, and Elaine had just finished a round of explosive cards. Noticing the sudden silence, Mr. Weasley jumped up and asked loudly, "How about some drinks before bed? Who wants egg nog? "
"Honey, I'll go get it," said Lady Weasley.
While she went to get the egg nog, the others stretched their bodies and chatted.
Hermione took the opportunity to ask Mr. Weasley about the recent movements in the ministry. Everyone was very concerned about this.
