The meeting didn't last long. After all, there wasn't much to do.
Everything at this stage revolved around how to protect Harry. Jon didn't feel that this was a very suitable decision, but since Dumbledore insisted, he couldn't do anything about it.
But at the same time, he still had other opinions.
If he didn't let a child come into contact with these things, how would this child grow up?
Naturally, he couldn't say these things to these people in front of him. After all, a portion of them absolutely agreed with his point of view. Once he said it, it was very likely that his thoughts would clash with Dumbledore's, and that wasn't a good thing.
After briefly arranging the current matters, Jon didn't say too much, and let these Wizard discuss among themselves.
He could hear Harry's voice constantly by his ear. It seemed that the lad was flustered and exasperated, and said some sarcastic words. Also, the few brats from the Weasley family made some strange conjectures.
Snape had never participated in these people's discussions. He had only appeared here to show that he was still a member of the Phoenix Society.
"… Also, regarding our old friend, Head of the Department of Magic, Fudge, I think we should definitely use some reasonable means to warn him, and let him know about the existence of the Fu … Mystery Person, so that he won't be like this now, like an old fool …"
"These things aren't necessary now." Jon knocked on the table. "Since you don't have anything else to discuss, then let's stop here. Today's meeting is over. Professor Snape, I'll wait for you outside, I have something to ask of you."
He directly stood up and walked outside. When he passed by Mrs. Weasley, he said to the housewife, "Those brats are almost unable to control themselves anymore.
"Those little guys upstairs can't be controlled anymore. Let them come down to eat. Otherwise, I'm afraid the outside of the kitchen will be filled with feces."
After he finished speaking, he stepped out. He didn't open the kitchen door, but directly tore through space and left the house.
The method of tearing through space did indeed surprise the Wizard in the house. They were all very mature Wizards, and naturally knew how difficult it was to tear through space. It was completely related to one's ability, and also required the corresponding experience.
"… If that's the case, does that mean Old Black Wizard has returned as well?" Tonks' eyes shone with the light of gossip. "I've long heard that the first Black Devil had reached an agreement with Dumbledore. Looking at this method, could our new leader be this one?"
"Of course not, he is a member of the Hufflepuff family … but he does have some relationship with that person …"
Sirius still wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Snape.
"Some people shouldn't say things they shouldn't say. Otherwise, even Principal Phineas won't be able to protect you."
Sirius rolled his eyes. Although Phineas was his elder, he did like Snape more. Furthermore, he did not have a good relationship with Snape. However, he still obeyed and did not continue speaking about this matter.
After all, it involved Jon.
Tonks sensed a hint of danger in Snape's words, so he did not say anything more.
Now that the meeting was over, they should leave this place. Madam Weasley had already gone upstairs to call the few children to eat.
They all walked out of this small room, exchanged a few words in the foyer, and then walked out of the room.
When Harry came out of the room, he happened to see this scene.
The dimly lit foyer below was filled with Wizard, including the few who were Harry's guards. They were discussing something excitedly in low voices. In the middle of the crowd, Harry saw that shiny black head and protruding nose. He disliked him the most, Professor Snape. However, when he poked his head out of the railing to take a look, these people quickly left.
When they came downstairs, they happened to see Lupin, Madam Weasley, and Tonks casting a spell on the door. Madam Weasley saw Harry and the others coming down and turned to talk to Harry, warning him about what he should not do in this house.
However, right after that, there was a thud behind them.
"Tonks!"
Madam Weasley shouted in annoyance, and turned to look behind her.
Harry also turned to look. It turned out that Tonks had tripped over something and was lying on the ground with his face facing the sky.
"I'm sorry! It's all that unlucky umbrella stand's fault. This is the second time I've been tripped over! "
Before she could finish her sentence, another terrifying and deafening scream echoed from inside the house.
An old lady in the portrait was woken up and began to scream desperately. Soon after, the other portraits were also woken up and joined in the scream.
"Beast! Slut! Filthy and sinful bastard! Mongrel, freak, ugly freak, get out of here! How dare you defile my ancestral home — "
Tonks began to apologize profusely, and moved the giant troll leg umbrella stand back to its original position. Madam Weasley began to cast a spell on the other portraits to stop them from screaming.
At the end of this farce, a man with long black hair rushed out of the door, grabbed the curtain and shouted at the old lady in the portrait.
"Shut up, you scary old witch!"
The old lady's face instantly turned white. She glared at him and shouted harshly.
"You — wastrel, disgrace to the family, bastard spawn I gave birth to!"
But no one paid her any attention. Sirius only scolded her, and then pulled the curtain back together with Lupin.
Then he turned around and fiddled with his hair.
He looked at Harry and said, "Good evening, Harry. Looks like you've already met my mother."
"Your —"
"Yes, my good mother."
Sirius didn't want to talk about these things. He simply explained to Harry why his mother's portrait was placed here, and the origins of this house. Then he brought Harry to the kitchen in the basement. It was dark and gloomy, and looked extremely dirty. But there were already many people sitting around the long wooden table.
They were probably going to start eating dinner here.
Outside the house, the Wizard had all left using Phantom Teleportation the moment they stepped out of the door. Only Snape didn't use magic to leave, and instead walked to the lawn on the opposite side.
Jon was standing there waiting for him. When he saw him, he even smiled slightly.
"Good evening, Professor Snape. Long time no see."
