"Like what?" Ginny, who was picking a baked potato, asked. She glanced at Elwyn from time to time.
"Like not following the rules," Tonks said. Ginny laughed out loud.
Hermione didn't seem to know if she should laugh too, so she took a compromise and took a big gulp of buttered beer. She ended up choking on it.
Elwyn hurriedly patted her shoulder to help her calm down.
Across the table, Harry and Ron were also staring at Elwyn's Student Union President badge.
It was expected that Elwyn would become the Student Union President. His ability and performance had been recognized by everyone, but everyone thought that it would be four years later when Elwyn was in the seventh grade, not now.
For the boys above Elwyn, this was really bad news.
This meant that they would not have the chance to become the Student Union President before Elwyn graduated, even if they became the Prefect.
Fred and George didn't care about the Student Union President at all. They even changed Percy's Student Union President badge to "Big Head."
But this time, they didn't slander or mock Elwyn …
As the dinner progressed, the conversation gradually shifted to other topics.
Ginny and Tonks talked about school and girls, and from time to time, they laughed like silver bells.
Lupin told Harry about his father's past at Hogwarts. Jaime was also the Student Union President back then, but he wasn't the Prefect. Lupin was the Prefect in their group, and Dumbledore probably hoped that he could control his good friend.
As expected, he failed miserably and spent a lot of time in detention with Jaime and Sirius.
After learning that his father wasn't a captain, Harry's mood improved.
Hermione began to discuss with Mr. Weasley and Moody about her views on the rights of elves. After her visit to the Ministry of Magic, she had gained a lot of new ideas. She was even more convinced that all this was due to the terrible prejudice of wizards.
They believed that they were superior to other creatures, just like how pure-blooded sorcerers discriminated against other sorcerers.
Looking at Hermione's appearance, it seemed that she intended to take action to improve the long-standing racial discrimination and bloodline discrimination in the magic world.
Lady Weasley and Bill were arguing about the same old question: Bill's hair.
Fred and George dragged Elwyn out to a dark corner of the stairwell.
After a while, the Mondungues also came over sneakily. They were carrying out an illegal transaction.
Inspired by Elwyn asking the Mondungues to buy broom materials, they also asked him to buy dangerous materials.
"Did you get it for us?" George asked impatiently.
"It took me a lot of effort to get this!" The Mondungues said as he took out a bag from his pocket.
He opened it for them to see. Inside was a pile of dried black pods.
Although they weren't moving at all, they made a soft rustling sound.
"The seeds of poisonous tentacles!" Elwyn raised his eyebrows. The Mondungues really could get their hands on anything.
"That's right. We need them for our latest Instant Truancy Candy!" Fred explained as he grabbed a handful of seeds and examined them carefully. "But this is a Class C prohibited item, so it's hard for us to get our hands on it."
"How about ten Galleons, Mondungues?" George said.
"No way, boys." The Mondungues said hurriedly as he shook his head vigorously. His loose, bloodshot eyes narrowed even more. "These things are hard to get. I won't sell them for less than twenty."
"Mondungues likes to make little jokes." Fred said to Elwyn.
"Yeah, one of his best jokes was when he charged six West for a bag of Pimple Quills." George said.
"We better be careful. It's not safe to trade here!" Elwyn said as he reminded the three of them.
"What's wrong, boy head?" Fred laughed. "Don't worry. Mom is busy whispering sweet nothings to Ron. We'll be fine."
"But Mad-Eye might be watching us right now." Elwyn said as he curled his lips.
Hearing his words, the Mondungues turned his head nervously.
"You're right." He muttered. "Alright, boys. Ten it is, as long as you get rid of them quickly."
"Well done, Elwyn!" Fred said happily as he took the leather bag from the Mondungues.
"Well, I also have some things I need. Besides the materials for making brooms, there are also some potion materials and alchemy materials. If you can find them, we can negotiate the price." Elwyn took out a list and handed it to the Mondungues.
"No problem. I will definitely get them for you." The Mondungues said respectfully.
Now that Elwyn was his biggest customer, he dared not slight him.
Fred and George went upstairs to hide the seeds of the poisonous tentacles. Elwyn and the Mondungues returned to the kitchen and saw Ron talking to Mr. Weasley. Lady Weasley was nowhere to be seen. Ginny was still whispering to Tonks. Harry and Hermione were gathered around Moody, looking at a small photo in Mad-Eye's hand.
He moved closer and saw a small group of people in the photo. Some were waving, some were raising their glasses.
"This is me," Moody said, pointing to himself. It was unnecessary.
There was no mistaking the Moody in the photo, although his hair was not as white as it was now and his nose was still intact.
"Next to me is Dumbledore. On the other side is Dedalor Digo. This is Marlene McKinnon. Two weeks after the photo was taken, she was killed. They also captured her whole family. That's Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom …"
"Neville's parents?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"That's right. What a pitiful person. Death is better than suffering!" Moody said gruffly. "This is Emmeline Vance. You've seen her before. This is obviously Lupin. And Benji Fenwick. Yes, a very nice little guy. He also met with misfortune. We only found part of his body. Move it to the side."
He touched the photo with his hand. The little people in the photo moved to the side, allowing those who were originally hidden to move to the front.
"Oh, this is Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth. I've only met him once. He was a strange guy."
Elwyn looked at the guy in the photo who looked very much like Dumbledore. He did not wave, but quickly hid behind someone else.
"This is Dorcas Meadows, a very talented wizard. The Lord Voldemort killed her himself," Moody said simply. "This is Sirius. He still had short hair back then. And Gideon Pwit and Fibian Pwit, Molly's brothers."
"I've never met them …" Ginny said sadly.
"You weren't even born yet. Their deaths were a great loss to us, and …" Moody said, moving his fingers. "Yes, Harry. That's it. I thought you might be interested!"
Harry's heart was in turmoil. He saw his mother and father looking at him with a smile.
Between them sat a small man with watery eyes. Harry recognized him immediately. It was Wormtail.
He was the one who told the Lord Voldemort about the whereabouts of Harry's parents, causing their tragic deaths.
