"……dad."

Arthur, who was looking outside the entrance of the camp to the hillside next door, suddenly heard a call from behind. The sound was actually not loud, and there were also some people in the camp making noise at work nearby, but he still

I heard it all at once.

After all, that was his son's voice, how could he miss it?

"Bill...oh, why are you still standing there? Come and lead us in quickly - I ate two pieces of salty cheese without telling Molly before I came out today, and I'm a little thirsty."

Seeing his son standing beside the tent, Arthur waved casually, the smile on his face still brisk and natural as usual.

"Ah...oh."

After hearing what his father said, Bill finally stepped forward quickly, said hello to the guard at the door, and then led Arthur and the rest of the group through the inspection and walked in.

In addition to Arthur, there were three people who came from the refuge community this time: Lupin, Tonks and Kingsley. Bill asked them while accompanying them to the command post tent. The four of them seemed to have come directly from the community.

The apparition over there came to this place.

"...Sirius went to Genoa. You should also know that Professor McGonagall brought a boatload of students ashore there. I asked Sirius to go and see the situation."

When Bill asked about other people, Lupine mentioned Sirius's whereabouts to him. When Lupine mentioned it, Bill was slightly startled.

"Furong has also been there in the past two days," he said, "Mrs. Maxim asked her to go - Dad, do you know? Mrs. Maxim took over the position of president of the federation some time ago."

"Olim Maxim?" Upon hearing this, Lupine couldn't help but confirm with some surprise.

However, when Lupine turned to discuss this matter with Kingsley, which was by no means a trivial matter, Arthur's attention obviously did not fall on Maxim.

He blinked, then raised his arm and hooked his son's shoulder, whispering:

"'Furong'? Who is that? It sounds like a girl?"

"Uh...she is a graduate of Beauxbatons, the one who participated in the Triwizard Tournament...she has been helping to take care of the injured here during this period. Her name is Fleur Delacour." Bill said dryly.

Explained something.

"Oh...I have the impression that I have met her several times." Arthur nodded immediately, "A very beautiful French girl...get along well with her."

After that, he didn't say anything more. He just smiled and patted Bill on the shoulder - after all, they were father and son, and Bill was still his eldest son. Just a word and a look were enough for him to see something about Bill.

Some thoughts.

While a few people were talking, everyone had already arrived at the door of the large tent of the command post located in the center of the camp. So everyone stopped talking for the time being and followed Bill in.

After Bill, the owner, invited Arthur and the others to sit down at the table where meetings were usually held, and poured a pot of black tea that was boiling on the stove, Bill himself sat down.

Although Arthur and his group had not said anything until now, they only chatted a few small words. But Bill also knew in his heart that when they came here from the refuge community at this time, they must have something serious to discuss in person.

All at once.

After all, although the scenery here in Cherbourg is indeed beautiful, it is still one of the frontline camps closest to the disaster, and it is too late for others to escape!

"Dad," Bill couldn't help but said after seeing his father really taking a few sips of tea and spitting out his tongue because of the burn, "you came here... for..."

Percy's thing! It can only be Percy's thing, right? Although everyone has tried their best not to talk about and spread this incident since it happened, but paper can't cover up the fire after all - Bill was very worried

clear.

But facing his father, the words came to his lips, but he still couldn't say them out.

However, just when he was in trouble, he saw Arthur hurriedly waving his hand this way while inhaling the air-conditioning to cool down his tongue.

"We'll talk about Percy's matter later when we can go home! I haven't told Molly about this yet... I heard that Ron and Ginny have followed Hermione. Harry and the others have gone over, right?

Sooner or later we will have to go back."

"Ah! Yes...Harry and the others are establishing a stronghold over there, centered around our home." Listening to his father's seemingly relaxed but actually very heavy words, Bill felt a little complicated, so he simply explained

Here's what he knows about the current situation of the Burrow.

After Arthur heard this, he nodded with some satisfaction.

"This is not easy! This is the first step, it is very important...it may become an honor for our Weasley family to be able to use our family in the future!"

Having said this, he turned his head and waved his hands towards Lupine and Kingsley:

"Let's get down to business first... Remus, take out the things and show them to Bill."

"Um."

Lu Ping on the side also nodded, and then took out something from the big pocket of his robe, put it on the table in front of him, and said smoothly:

"During this period, although a few of us no longer have the ability to participate in the front-line battle, we have not wasted our time... This thing, Bill, should be familiar to you. Take a look.

Right! It should be useful."

What Lupine took out from his pocket seemed to be a stack of folded parchment. But soon, when he unfolded the stack of papers, Bill immediately realized what it was.

It was a map—or, to be more precise, a new Marauder's Map.

"You know, Sirius, Harry's father, I and I made a map of Hogwarts together to make it easier for us to move around the school... To be honest, at that time we could

Making that map also relied on a bit of luck...and this time, we made another one with everyone in the refugee community - referring to Muggle maps, we made a very large one."

As he spoke, he took out his wand and lightly scratched the large piece of parchment that was gradually unfolding. In an instant, large ink marks quickly spread across the paper.

"Is this...the entire map of Britain?" Bill looked at it and said in surprise.

"Yes!" Lupine smiled, "Muggle mapping is really amazing - it was Arthur's suggestion. Then, you can also enlarge and reduce the scale as needed. But... if you want to use it in today's

The UK uses it to detect enemy movements in real time and detect certain abnormal movements in the UK. It still needs some steps to complete... In other words, it is only a semi-finished product now."

He pointed with his wand at the blank map with only topography and building distribution, and said so.
