Chapter 1199: Lockhart's photo!!

Although this was a bit insulting, Harry felt it was the best thing he had heard in the past two days.

He shouted excitedly.

Wishing everyone knew his happiness.

Especially when Sirius was singing hymns of "May God bless you" outside, he showed a smiling face.

Christmas Eve.

They tidied up the whole house and even got a Christmas tree. Mrs. Weasley made a sumptuous meal.

Harry and the others played until late at night.

When they woke up the next morning, gifts were piled up all over the room.

Alright.

Most of them were gifts for Darren.

Harry and the others left the room to Darren, letting him open gifts in an environment full of private space.

Darren breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this was abroad.

When opening gifts, people wouldn't peek without permission. Otherwise, he might have had to modify Harry and the others' memories.

He cast a few Confundus Charms on Phineas's portrait, ensuring that if Phineas came over, he would definitely be dizzy, and only then did he wave his wand to open all the packages together.

Like previous years, most were gold Galleons. There were also some candies.

Darren piled all the candies on the ground, piling them as high as a small mountain. Then, he summoned Dobby.

Dobby took away his gold Galleons and some of the candies. Only the packaging boxes were left all over the floor.

It looked as if they were all left over from opening candies.

Darren put on the sweater Mrs. Weasley gave him, and then used his wand to transport the candies on the ground out.

The people in the house were shocked.

They looked at so many candies, staring at Darren dumbfounded.

Darren said embarrassedly: "It was the same in previous years, so I have always let Dobby send these candies to the patients at St. Mungo's.

I hope they can receive concern from strangers on Christmas Day. Today I just had Dobby come over, and it took away most of the candies, and these are what's left.

I think we should have a more beautiful Christmas, don't you?"

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding...】 Regardless.

The candies Darren brought down were still distributed to everyone. They were all saying that they wouldn't need to buy candies for a year.

However, just when everyone was happy, Sirius brought some bad news.

"Kreacher is missing!"

The expression on Sirius's face was a bit irritable.

Ron looked at Hermione and asked tangledly: "Hermione, it wouldn't be that you gave Kreacher a hat and let it run away, right?"

Hermione glared at Ron.

"How is that possible? I have discretion. I gave it a robe, hoping it could dress cleanly."

"Then could it be that Sirius told it to get out, and it thought that was an order to leave?"

Harry asked suddenly. Sirius shook his head.

"No, house-elves can only be free if they get socks or hats; they won't betray because of a 'get out'..."

"No, Dobby betrayed its master's family, didn't it?"

Darren pondered.

They fell silent collectively.

An uneasy expression appeared on Black's face.

"It shouldn't... I'll go look for its nest again, perhaps it's in there looking at photos of my mother or my brother and crying... or kissing Bellatrix's items... or maybe stealing my father's trousers..."

Black said anxiously.

Then he hurried away. Harry and the others followed quickly.

They found Kreacher's nest, or rather, the place where it lived. It was dirty and smelly inside.

Many things that Mrs. Weasley and the others had cleaned up and thrown away were all in here. They were almost moldy.

Harry and the others were speechless.

Darren really wanted to clear these things out, but he knew there were things in here that would be useful later.

He could only let it be.

Kreacher was clearly not found in Kreacher's nest.

Black indicated that he would look elsewhere, and told Harry and the others to go back first. When he finished searching the whole room and needed help, he would ask Harry and the others to help.

However, when they were eating lunch, Black indicated that he had found Kreacher.

It was in the attic upstairs.

This made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Except for Harry and Darren.

Darren knew the plot and knew Kreacher had run off to contact Bellatrix and the others. Harry purely felt that Kreacher was weird.

Since being found, Kreacher had always been secretly watching Harry. As if it were plotting some terrible thing.

But Harry also felt that he was overthinking it.

He didn't tell anyone about his feelings.

Especially in the afternoon, when they were preparing to go see Mr. Weasley again, he completely forgot about this matter.

Mr. Weasley was still reading the newspaper in the ward.

However, when he saw them coming, a guilty expression appeared on his face. Under Mrs. Weasley's interrogation, they finally learned that the snake venom was too strong, and the wound couldn't heal. ===== CHAPTER 1201 =====
