Sirius's heart was a little confused.

Because obviously, he was one of the groups of people, other than a few Hogwarts professors, who were disrupted by the news that Maka had awakened from the ice coffin.

However, unlike Professor Flitwick who was jumping in a hurry, the reason for his panic was not the news about Maca that Bill sent from the Granger camp itself.

Yes, Maka's unexpected return certainly gave him a sudden shock, and it might even be more shocking than when he accidentally learned that Peter Pettigrew was still alive in Azkaban.

However, when there were more people around him who were more confused than him, he knew that at least he couldn't be confused.

especially……

"Mrs. Weasley?" Sirius glared at Aberforth and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you all agree to hide it from her? How could something go wrong... Wait, don't tell me,

Is there any other news that she knows?"

But behind the simple bar, Aberforth seemed to be even more depressed than he was.

"Who told Bill to send this news directly from the camp without passing through Blois' house?" Aberforth said loudly with an annoyed look on his face, "Since Arthur is not here, of course it is Molly who receives the message.

!Instead of asking me here, you might as well go to the camp and ask Bill directly!"

After yelling for a few times, Aberforth scratched his beard and frowned:

"As for the 'other news' you mentioned... who knows? Molly showed up this morning and told me the news that McClain was back, and then she went back straight away with a straight face - I said

I didn’t even have time to ask!”

"Oh! I should have come here earlier," Sirius hammered the table hard, causing the goblet on the table to jump. "Maybe I could have stopped that damn owl."

"Then it's a good thing you didn't have time."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the direction of the door behind Sirius, causing him to quickly turn around and look over.

"Remus? Are you back?"

"It's not just me!"

Lu Ping, who appeared at the door, stepped into the house and took another step to the side. Then, four more figures walked in from the outside one after another.

"Sirius!"

"And Aberforth!"

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

"How are you doing lately?"

"Hey, speaking of which, even though Bill sent that letter..."

"...But actually, it's us who wrote the letter."

"We have to talk about this!"

"You don't understand mom at all—"

"Even dad doesn't understand!"

"You shouldn't have hidden things from her at all."

"That's definitely..."

"Worst choice!" "Worst choice!"

Sirius and Aberforth looked at the two young men walking in front of each other and continued talking to each other in a tacit and familiar manner, with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Fred George!" Sirius looked at the twin brothers and said with astonishment, "You... I thought you were..."

"In the United States," I didn't know whether it was Fred or George who nodded midway, "Yes. But that was also a week ago!"

"After accepting the task entrusted by Bill and going there to check out the situation, we took Ashley and Mary to meet their parents. After we reported that they were safe, we came back!"

As the other twin said this, he turned around and took the hand of Ashley, the quieter of the Olsen sisters. Apparently, he was George, so the one who spoke before was obviously Fred.

.

"Then what?" Sirius spread his hands towards them, "How did you end up like this?"

"Oh, did you say this?" "Oh, did you say this?"

Listening to Sirius's question, the Weasley brothers subconsciously touched their arms at the same time. But one was the left arm, and the other was the right arm - one of their arms was tightly wrapped in a bandage, and each one was hanging.

On the left and right sides.

"We met some enemies on the way back."

"One of us flies to the left and the other to the right."

"Then this guy just walked right through the middle..."

"It's quite symmetrical, isn't it?"

Sirius frowned, thought for a while and said:

"Did you also include this in the letter?"

"Hey, that's what I just wanted to say." Fred shrugged his uninjured shoulder, "Are there not many innocent people who died in this huge disaster? Our family is not special.

Why can't I mention the character?"

"Still," George said, "including dad, you actually don't understand at all - our mom is not a fragile woman! You know, in the face of big things, no one can compare to her.

Stronger."

"...I can't believe that in the end, it was you two who understood me best."

Suddenly, another voice sounded faintly from outside the door behind the two Fred and George couples, startling everyone in the room.

"Oh! Mom?"

The two brothers quickly pulled their wives aside, and the next moment, the fat Mrs. Weasley that everyone was familiar with suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Where is he? He didn't come back?"

As Mrs. Weasley walked in, she glanced left and right. The "he" she mentioned obviously meant her husband, Arthur Weasley.

This capable woman, who is sometimes kind and sometimes shrewd, is actually not as strong-willed as Fred and George claimed at the moment. Her hair is a little messy, and her clothes are not very ironed.

This made her look even more embarrassed and haggard than her two injured sons.

However, there was a calmness and sharpness in her slightly bloodshot eyes - those eyes were very much like those of a lioness when hunting.

After briefly glancing at her son's wounded arms covered with bloody bandages, Mrs. Weasley nodded at Lupine, and then walked straight to Sirius and Aberforth at the bar.

Immediately, I heard her say loudly in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Now that the real Maka is finally back, it's time for us to take action! Before, it was because of our lack of ability that we were just a burden in the frontline battle. But now, at this time, the children finally need us.

Something happened... We cannot let the blood of those who sacrificed their lives heroically be shed in vain!"

It wasn't until Mrs. Weasley finished her words and those sonorous and powerful words were still faintly echoing in the room that Lupine by the door continued:

"Indeed... just like Molly said, the time for us to act has already arrived!"
