First floor...
Ron and Hermione sat on a sofa, watching the adults who had been giving their opinions in the attic and then being assigned tasks by Dumbledore come down one by one.
They exchanged a glance and raised their eyebrows slightly.
Since there was no real danger, they weren't in a hurry and just sat calmly on the sofa, watching these boring adults put on a show.
As for when they plan to start the performance?
emmm...
I haven't figured it out yet.
However, Professor Kayson did go out for a while and then conjured Hagrid up.
According to him, Hagrid, the boy Silverwing, really did go to France to buy soy sauce.
"Can you tell me what you were thinking? Riding a motorcycle to France?" Kayson said, somewhat speechless.
Hermione was puzzled. "How did Hagrid get to France on a motorcycle? Through the underwater tunnel?"
" Hagrid's motorcycle will Accio here," Ron explained.
"Huh? I didn't know about this!" Hermione said, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, that's my creation. Obviously, I'm also very talented in alchemy...quite talented." Sirius initially puffed out his chest like a proud peacock, but then he remembered something and changed his tune.
After Christmas dinner, the adults remained quietly in the corner playing Dungeons & Dragons. Ron and Hermione exchanged a helpless sigh. Clearly, the big show wouldn't be happening today. They should go to sleep early and wait until tomorrow.
the next day...
"Holy crap? Where did they go? How did they get here so fast?" Ron looked down at the empty first floor and stared blankly at Hermione, who had come down a little earlier but looked just as bewildered.
Hermione, however, got into character even faster. She rushed toward Ron, whispered "Shut up," and then raised her eyebrows slightly.
She had clearly been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"The problem is I don't even have breakfast right now..." Ron said, sounding a little aggrieved.
" Ron, Hermione, there is something important you need to do right now," Dumbledore's Phoenix Patronus suddenly flew to their side and spoke in human language.
The two parties exchanged a glance, and in the end, Hermione Ron first, completely eliminating any chance for Dumbledore to see through the deception.
"Where did everyone go?" Hermione asked.
"The Order of the Phoenix is currently facing a turbulent period; in short, it is extremely busy."
"And what about us? Why didn't you wake us up?" Hermione continued.
"Your mission now is to go to Sherwood Forest. Tonks is injured there. You need to rescue her on flying broomsticks. The broomsticks are in the attic; they're from the batch that Kayson acquired before." The Phoenix Patronus ignored Hermione's question and continued speaking to himself.
Hermione frowned and looked at Ron, her meaning clear: how come this phoenix is like a human machine, unable to understand what she's saying?
The latter shrugged. " Patronus seem to be able to relay messages, but it seems a bit difficult for them to act as a wizard's second mouth."
"So?" Hermione still didn't understand.
"That means this Patronus Charm is a tape recorder, not a telephone," Ron explained.
"Alright." Hermione sighed. It seemed there was no way to get any more information out of the phoenix. She stopped chatting with the phoenix and ran towards the attic.
He quickly ran down with two flying brooms and tossed one to Ron.
"This looks like the Professor Kayson made before, the one that can break the sonic boom," Hermione said in surprise, examining the broom in her hand.
"Who cares about all that? I've wanted to try this thing out for ages!" Ron excitedly mounted the broom, pulled out a map, and checked the general direction.
"Shouldn't we make a plan first?" Hermione frowned.
Ron raised an eyebrow, his meaning even clearer: Dumbledore and the others had come up with such flimsy excuses just to amuse us, and we two were just wasting our brain cells making plans.
The most important thing right now is, of course, to fly!
Then he flew out of the window.
With a powerful sonic boom, all the glass in the Black family manor shattered instantly.
"Couldn't you have slowed down a little?" Hermione, somewhat exasperated, as she flew off on her broomstick, inflicting secondary damage on the remaining shards of glass that had managed to survive.
"Next time, we should really have Kayson put a speed lock on this broom." The Phoenix Patronus who had been standing still transformed into Dumbledore, who appeared in the room looking refreshed and energetic. He waved his wand and cleaned up the entire Black family manor that had been messed up by the sonic boom.
A broom capable of producing sonic booms is naturally extremely fast. At least Kayson, who was flying stealthily above the forest, could clearly see two small dots with iris-colored tails approaching from afar and then moving towards the depths of the forest. A magical fluctuation that made no attempt to conceal itself was also present in the depths of the forest.
Knowing the outline of the play, the two of them calmly and slowly reduced their speed, then flew towards the center of the magical fluctuations.
Tonks, who was hiding his figure in the invisibility Invisibility Cloak, sat helplessly on a huge tree trunk, watching Ron and Hermione squatting next to "his corpse" and constantly poking their faces with their wands.
"Those two are so rude," Tonks said through gritted teeth.
However, she soon saw Ron and Hermione carrying Tonks together.
"Why don't they use the Levitation Charm?" Tonks continued to complain.
"Maybe it's because you're too heavy?" Lupin Lupin also wearing Invisibility Cloak, sat on the tree trunk next to Tonks and teased him.
"You really should learn the art of speaking," Tonks retorted speechlessly.
Ron and Hermione, standing under the sapling, tied " Tonks " to the tail of their flying broomstick like cannibals hunting prey, and were about to take off.
"Honestly, they were so rude. Didn't they intend to wake me up?" Tonks said, a little annoyed.
"How do you wake up someone who's Transfiguration from a stone? Is it the Golden Cudgel or a monkey?" Kayson floated behind the two of them and said in a low voice.
