HP Magic Biography

There was an instant commotion in the kitchen.

We're getting old, too! exclaimed Fred and George together.

If Harry allows it, why can't I? was Ron's cry.

Mum, I want to hear it! Ginny was moaning.

No! growled Mrs Weasley, standing up, her eyes wide. I absolutely forbid—

Molly, you can't stop Fred and George, said Mr. Weasley wearily. They're old enough.

They're still students.

But legally they're adults now, Mr. Weasley continued in the same tired voice.

Mrs. Weasley's face flushed. I - oh, well then, Fred and George stay, but Ron -

Harry and Van Lin will tell me and Hermione everything you guys said! Ron said eagerly.

Y-yes? he added uncertainly, looking at Harry.

For a split second, Harry considered telling Ron that he couldn't speak a word, so Ron could get a taste of being in the dark, and see if he liked it.

But the mean thought disappeared the moment they looked at each other.

Of course I would, Harry said. Ron cheered.

Very good! cried Mrs. Weasley.

Good! Ginny - go to bed!

Ginny refused to leave quietly. They could hear her yelling at her mother in all sorts of ways all the way up the stairs, and Mrs Blacks (the old lady on the wall, Sirius' mother) screaming deafeningly when they reached the hall Joined the farce.

Lupine hurried to the portrait to regain his composure. Then when he came back and closed the kitchen door and sat back down in the chair in front of the table, Sirius began to speak.

Oh, Harry... what do you want to know?

Harry took a deep breath, and asked the question that had been bugging him for a month.

Where is Voldemort? He deliberately ignored the new wave of shudders and flinches caused by the name,

asked. What's he doing now? I've followed the Muggle news as best I can, but nothing seems to have happened, no bizarre deaths or anything.

It can only be said that there are still no bizarre deaths so far, Sirius said, In any case, we can't know everything...but we know a lot...

In every way it's beyond what Fudge thinks we have, Lupine added.

Then why did he stop killing? Harry asked. He knew that Voldemort had murdered more than one person in the last year alone.

That's because he doesn't want to draw attention, said Sirius. It's very dangerous for him now too. His recovery isn't as perfect as he thought it would be, you understand. He's screwed things up.

Or rather, you screwed up his business. Lupine gave a satisfied smile.

How? Harry asked in bewilderment.

You unexpectedly survived! said Sirius. No one but his Death Eater followers would have known he had recovered. But you survived and became an eyewitness.

And the last person he wants to alarm at the moment is Dumbledore, said Lupine, but you let Dumbledore know about it right away.

Does this help? Harry asked.

Are you kidding? Bill said flippantly. Everyone knows Dumbledore is the only wizard that man is afraid of!

Fan Lin frowned. For the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore is supreme, which is not a good thing.

That's not the case. Fan Lin said suddenly, Dumbledore's threat at Hogwarts is only at Hogwarts. It doesn't mean that Voldemort is afraid.

What are you talking about? Bill asked in disbelief.

I have felt his magic, I mean, Voldemort's magic, I don't think, this can be a reason to take it lightly, Harry should be on his own, instead of leaving it all to Dumbledore.

Have you ever felt his magic? Why didn't I know about this? Sirius said in surprise.

Otherwise how do you think I got back? Apparition? Voldemort has a knack for sealing off spaces.

So you're under Voldemort...

You should be aware of Dumbledore's true strength, Sirius. Fan Lin said in a deep voice, Through this, Voldemort's recovery period doesn't take that long, and besides, he still has...

Vampire... Sirius suddenly remembered the target he was following, those vampires who frantically collected black magic relics.

What's going on here? Harry asked angrily.

What we are dealing with. Fan Lin said, Voldemort's plan, all...

all?

Okay, first of all, he wants to rebuild his army, said Van Lin, he commanded a large number of members in the past days; those wizards and witches who he coerced or were confused by him to follow him, he loyal Death Eaters, and a whole host of different dark creatures. You also hear him trying to re-recruit giants, and yes, they used to be one of that man's too. Voldemort wasn't sure about just relying on his dozen Death Eaters could replace the Ministry of Magic.

So you're trying to stop him from gaining more followers?

Do what we can, said Sirius.

how to do?

Very well, the main job is to determine how many people really want to return to Voldemort, and then monitor them, Fan Lin said. However, the tactic proved to be ingenious and, indeed, dubious.

Why? Harry asked puzzled.

Because of the attitude of the Ministry of Magic, Tonks said, look at the panicked look of that Cornelius Fudge when he heard that 'the man' had returned. Harry! Yes, he's not going to change his position at all. He absolutely refuses to believe what has happened.

But why? said Harry disappointedly, why is he so stupid? If Dumbledore—

Oh, good, you've got to the point, said Mr. Weasley with a twisted smile, Dumbledore...

Fudge is afraid of Dumbledore, you know that, said Tonks sadly.

Scared of Dumbledore, Harry cried curtly.

Afraid of Dumbledore replacing him, Van Lin said bluntly, Fudge thinks Dumbledore is plotting to overthrow him. He thinks Dumbledore wants to get the position of Minister of Magic.

But Dumbledore didn't want to—

Of course he didn't want to, said Mr. Weasley. He never thought of being Minister for Magic. Even when the old Minister Bagnold retired, there were many people who elected Dumbledore to succeed him. Fudge still took over. power, but he never forgot how much Dumbledore was loved, even though Dumbledore never coveted the position.

In a deeper sense, Fudge knew that Dumbledore was a far smarter and more powerful wizard than he was, and that he was always going to consult with Dumbledore in his early days at the Ministry, Lupine said. But now it seems he's become obsessed with power and headstrong. He likes his current position as Minister of Magic, and he's increasingly convinced that he's smart and that Dumbledore is just a lover of trouble.

How could he think that? Harry cried angrily. How could he think that Dumbledore was causing trouble—or that I was causing trouble?

Because accepting the fact of Voldemort's return means that the Ministry of Magic will encounter a big trouble that has never been dealt with in the fourteen years since its establishment, Sirius said painfully. Fudge just doesn't want to let himself face it. After all, for him Surely it would be much more comfortable to say that you deluded yourself into thinking that Dumbledore was lying to him.

Besides, you should be clear about this, Harry. Fan Lin was never serious. A Ministry of Magic has never been able to accommodate two people in power,

You see the problem now, said Lupine, when the Ministry insists that there is no threat from Voldemort, it's hard to convince people that he's back, especially if they really don't want to believe it in the first place. To make matters worse, the Daily Prophet was strictly ordered by the Ministry of Magic not to report any news from Dumbledore, so most of the wizarding community was completely unaware of anything that was going on, making it impossible for Death Eaters to use the 'Impala flow' s' spell, they're easy targets.

But you're warning people, aren't you? Harry asked, looking at Van Lin, Mr Weasley, Sirius, Bill, Mundungus, Lupine and Tonks, you're not letting people know that Voldemort Is your return?

As you can see, this is a very difficult thing. Fan Lin said bluntly, We have no credibility at all. To be exact, Voldemort's power is far more terrifying than you imagine.

Yes, Sirius nodded, Although I have been cleared of my grievances, I am just an Auror who has lost the right to speak in the Ministry of Magic, right? Sirius said helplessly.

And I, I'm an unwelcome guest in most societies, said Lupine. Werewolves have always been a dangerous profession.

Tonks and Arthur are worse than me, and they will lose their jobs in the Ministry of Magic if they speak out, said Sirius, but it is very important for us to have spies in the Ministry of Magic. Important, I bet Voldemort would infiltrate them, but too bad I'm too marked.

Though we've tried to convince two people, said Mr Weasley, that Tonks is here, she's a - but she was too young the last time the Order of the Phoenix assembled, and there were Aurors with us Side is a huge advantage - Kingsley Shacklebolt is also a real asset to us; he is the Auror responsible for Fudge's security, so we can have a piece of Fudge's movements.

But if none of you break the news that Voldemort has returned— said Harry.

Who said we didn't release the news? said Sirius. Why do you think Dumbledore got into this trouble?

What do you mean? Harry asked.

They want to embarrass Dumbledore, said Lupine. Didn't you read the Daily Prophet last week? They reported that Dumbledore had been voted out as president of the International Union of Magic because he Too old and out of control, but that's not true; he was sacked by the wizarding administration after giving a speech announcing Voldemort's return. They downgraded his wizarding rank from master - that's a wizard the highest honors in the United States - and they are now discussing the withdrawal of his Order of Merlin, 1st class.

But Dumbledore said he didn't care what they did as long as he didn't take him off the Chocolate Frog collection card, Fred said, laughing.

This is no laughing matter, said Mr. Weasley sharply. If he continues to defy the Ministry in this way, he may spend the rest of his life in Azkaban, and the last thing we can do One thing, it can only be locked for Dumbledore. If that person knows that Dumbledore is back on the battlefield, he will act cautiously. If Dumbledore leaves the battlefield,-oh, that person will be unscrupulous .”

But if Voldemort is going to recruit more Death Eaters, then the news of his return must leak out, won't it? Harry asked disappointedly.

Voldemort doesn't break in in broad daylight, Harry! said Van Lin, shaking his head. He lied, he cursed, he blackmailed them. He was an expert at secrecy. In any case, recruiting followers was his very important task. interested. He is also making plans that will enable him to act, virtually silently, and he is paying attention at the moment, like those vampires, if it weren't for some accident, we wouldn't even Knowing that such an ancient creature was involved, and...

Fan Lin didn't continue talking, which obviously exceeded the scope.

What's next for him besides those followers? Harry asked quickly. He thought he saw Sirius exchange a quick glance with Lupine before answering.

Replenishment by secret means, Sirius said. Like a weapon or something older. Something he didn't have last time.

Before he gets stronger?

Yes.

Like what kind of weapon? said Harry, something worse than Avada Kedavra—?

Enough! said Mrs. Weasley from the shadows by the door. Harry hadn't noticed that Ginny had returned after taking Ginny upstairs. She crossed her arms and looked very annoyed.

Now I want you to go to bed. All of you. She looked at Fred, George, Ron and He and added, Including you, Van Lin!

You can't order us— Fred began to protest.

Look at me, growled Mrs Weasley. She stared at Sirius tremblingly. You've told Harry enough. It would be more straightforward if you simply brought Harry into the Phoenix Order.

Why not? said Harry quickly, I want to join, I want to join, I want to fight!

No. This time it was not Mrs Weasley who spoke, but Lupine. The Phoenix Order is composed of official wizards who are above the legal age, and Fan Lin is licensed by Dumbledore. In fact, his ability is obvious to all. As an adult wizard, Fan Lin is not inferior at all.

Lupine added when Fred and George wanted to speak. It's dangerous to get involved without thinking, any of you... I think Molly is right, Sirius. We've said enough...
