More than a month later.

A country house in North Yorkshire stands on the edge of a small field of white roses.

The window of a room on the second floor of the villa is wide open.

The white curtains fluttered gently in the breeze.

And if it's through this thin curtain.

You can see a large and spacious room.

And Harry was lying on the big bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

The ceiling is actually nothing to look at.

It was, like this room, comfortable and clean, but otherwise featureless, not even close to the magic ceiling in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

But Harry always liked to stare at it.

Because this is a room that truly belongs to him!

In the past month or so, Lupine and Sirius cheered up, made money, rented this small villa, and successfully brought Harry over.

Here, Harry had his own room for the first time.

For the first time, I felt like home.

For the first time, I enjoyed the love of my relatives.

First outing with Lupine and Sirius.

first……

Too many firsts!

So many happy experiences!

So much so that when Harry thought about it now, he still felt like he was in a dream.

"Harry! It's time to get up! Don't forget, you made an appointment with Michelle and the others today to go to Diagon Alley to buy things for school tomorrow!"

Sirius's shout suddenly came from downstairs.

This interrupted Harry's morning routine of looking at the ceiling.

"I know, Sirius!"

Harry shouted back, then turned over and got up.

When I opened the door, a smell of food came out.

Harry swallowed, put on his clothes, and walked quickly downstairs.

When he walked into the kitchen, he saw Sirius wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.

He glanced at the "Housework Magic Encyclopedia" in his hand, then flicked the wand, and several strips of bacon exuding the aroma of butter, a few small tomatoes whose juices were fried, and a few slices of bread flew in automatically.

On the dinner plate.

"Remus, I'll give this to you first."

Sirius placed the dinner plate in front of Lupine, who was reading the newspaper, and then said to Harry with his wand, "Harry, sit down first, I will do your share right away."

"Let's give this to Harry first." Lupine pushed the dinner plate in front of Harry and said, "Harry is just growing up, and he must be starving now."

"Thank you, Professor Lupin, and Sirius!"

Harry thanked him and immediately sat down to eat breakfast.

Lupine was right, he was starving now.

Seeing this, Sirius and Lupine smiled at each other, one continued to make breakfast, and the other continued to read the newspaper.

five minutes later.

Another dinner plate was placed in front of Lupine.

"Eat quickly, don't read the bad news, it's off-putting."

As Sirius spoke, he took out the "Daily Prophet" from Lupine's hand.

"well--"

Lupine sighed and said, "Sirius, the Magical Congress of the United States has also announced that it will cut off all trade and diplomacy with the magical world of the United States. Without the materials there, the price of 'Wolfsbane Potion' will probably increase again this month.

Moreover, the potion workshop where I work now may also need to..."

Lu Ping couldn't speak any more and lowered his head with a sad face.

Harry, who was sitting opposite him and munching, also made a move, with a worried look on his face.

Since more than a month ago, the "Daily Prophet" has been publishing news about other Ministry of Magic sanctions imposed on the magical world of China.

First it was the French Ministry of Magic, then Germany, Italy...

Now, the Magical Congress of the United States has followed suit.

The news didn't cause much of a stir at first.

After all, wizards generally lack relevant knowledge, and many people are completely immersed in the prosperous scene created by John, and are completely unaware of the crisis behind these news.

Therefore, Sirius and Lupine could still find jobs and earn Galleons at that time.

He even rented this country house with the help of the Grangers and lived a happy life with Harry.

But soon, disaster struck.

The shortage of key raw materials and skyrocketing prices have dealt a fatal blow to a large number of industries.

And this kind of damage to the industry was quickly transmitted to the entire magic world of Yu.

Sirius, who had little life and work experience, was the first to lose his job and could no longer find a job. He was forced to stay at home, learn some housework magic, and become a househusband.

Lu Ping relied on his many years of working experience to reluctantly find a new job and continue to maintain their small family.

But now, judging from Lu Ping's tone, it seems that his new job is going to be ruined.

"I'm sorry, I'm so useless."

Sirius said in an inaudible sad voice, "If I could control my temper, maybe the workshop owner wouldn't have fired me. Then I would be able to earn a little more money to support my family, instead of just eating and drinking like this now.

die."

Lupine said:

"Sirius! Everyone knows that this is not your fault!"

Sirius shook his head and said:

"Maybe I should join the strike force or the Auror force. John's men recruit people in Diagon Alley every day, and the treatment they give is very good. This is a good way out. As long as I can join, our family...

…”

"That's enough! Sirius!"

Lupine interrupted, "Can't you see? John's expansion of the army does have the purpose of relief, but other than that, he is still preparing for the next war!

War! It will break out!

And you yourself know how terrible war is!

I don’t want to hear the news that you were killed in battle one day! My good brother!”

Sirius didn't reply.

He seemed to have fallen into some kind of sluggish state.

He just lowered his head blankly, motionless.

Suddenly, a smell of burnt lake filled the kitchen.

Sirius subconsciously looked at the pan, only to find that his own breakfast had been burnt.

The scorching food in the pot seemed to completely ignite certain emotions in his heart.

"Peng——"

Sirius threw the pan into the sink and said angrily, "This is all caused by the goblins! We should join the Ministry of Magic and get rid of them all..."

"Stop talking! Sirius!" Lupine stepped forward to support him in panic and said, "Harry is still here! Don't say this in front of him!"

Sirius' expression paused.

Only then did he realize that Harry on the other side of the dining table was looking at them with an expression of shock and fear.

"Uh - I'm sorry, Harry, it's me... I'm too excited." Sirius was at a loss and said with a slight choke, "I'm sorry, did I just scare you? I'm really sorry, Harry..."

Harry stood up suddenly, took three steps at a time and came to Sirius' side and said:

"Don't say that, Sirius! It's me who should apologize. I...I dragged you down..."

"Harry, don't say that." Lupine also said, "None of us are at fault... In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Everything will pass and the future will get better, I promise!"
