I, Hogwarts Second Week

(This chapter has been modified)

"How is the professor injured?" Harry asked hurriedly.

"I don't know--" said Moody.

"I don't know?" Owen raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"It means that we haven't seen Dumbledore and Grindelwald for three weeks." Mad-Eye Moody said angrily: "He wrote a letter to ask us not to tell you the truth. Maybe he is planning something. In short, these things have nothing to do with you."

"How can it be irrelevant--we--" Harry wanted to argue a few more words, but was interrupted by Moody. "Instead of discussing these, you might as well worry about yourselves." He said, "Now--staying in the Burrow is not safe at all. I really don't understand why we have to gather here, and hold a wedding. It's a joke!"

"Why can't we hold a wedding!" Ginny said.

"That's right - why is the Burrow unsafe?" George and Fred said in unison, "It was here in the past."

"The past is the past, and the present is now!" Moody snorted coldly, and his magic eye gurgled around and looked around, "The Burrow is not 12 Grimmauld Place. Too many wizards know about this place. It is impossible to protect it with the Fidelius Charm. If the Death Eaters want to attack here, they can find it with a little effort. Do you think this place can withstand their attack?

We must find a new safe house immediately."

"Is 12 Grimmauld Place not okay?" Harry said.

"Yes - but -" Moody hesitated, and his intact eye briefly looked at Kingsley.

The current secret keeper of 12 Grimmauld Place is Dumbledore, who was injured in the battle a few weeks ago. Although he did not die at the time, they have not seen Dumbledore himself in the past few weeks.

Moody had to consider what to do if Dumbledore had an accident?

Once the Secret Keeper dies, all the people to whom Dumbledore has revealed the location of Grimmauld Place will become Secret Keepers, and there are too many people included.

In addition to the members of the Order of the Phoenix, some members of the Saints, including some officials of the Federation, have visited Grimmauld Place.

Dumbledore trusts them.

But Moody will not trust these people so easily.

"Well, forget it if you don't want to say it." Owen said bluntly, "The Burrow is still safe at present. As long as the Ministry of Magic has not fallen - and we can't find any suitable safe house in a short time."

Because he has not experienced the transfer of the seven Potters.

So the Burrow is indeed not safe.

In the original book, Moody prepared more than a dozen fake targets. The Burrow is just one of the safe houses.

Now - although the Burrow is not safe, in the past year, the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic have cast an astonishing number of security spells on the Burrow. These magics make the security level here comparable to Hogwarts to a certain extent. The most direct manifestation of the improvement in the security level is that no one can come here directly by magic.

It's not easy to find another place with so many protective spells.

Owen himself has a few safe houses, the house in Hogsmeade. Or push back to Paris, Rosier's safe house. Or - Miss Granger's castle is also good.

However, the cost of the castle is at least one month.

"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is indeed not easy to act rashly now." Kingsley said.

"But according to the current situation - there have been several Death Eater attacks in the wizarding world. The mysterious man seems to be looking for something?" Mad-Eye Moody panted, "It's still not optimistic. We have to find out the other party's conspiracy as soon as possible."

"He is looking for something -" Owen said.

If I guess correctly, he should be looking for the Deathly Hallows.

But Voldemort should not be so motivated at this time.

In the original book, Voldemort fought Harry twice.

The first time was in the grave of Voldemort's father. The two dueled and the wand had a flashback spell.

The second time was the seven Potters' transfer event. Voldemort came to attack Harry and was automatically counterattacked and repelled by Harry's Phoenix wand.

Two events made Voldemort realize the problem with his wand, and he spent a lot of effort to find the Deathly Hallows.

Here, Harry and Voldemort also dueled twice.

One was the Battle of Hogsmeade, where the two fought and triggered the Flashback Curse.

The other was the Battle of the Azkaban Tower, which also triggered the Flashback Curse.

The difference is that although Voldemort realized that there might be some connection between his wand and Harry's wand, his degree of concern was different. Because Voldemort had obtained powerful magic - ancient magic several times, he didn't pay much attention to the wand.

A few days ago, he captured Garrick Ollivander just to ask some questions.

Otherwise, he should have captured Garrick Ollivander a long time ago. He would have had plenty of time a few years ago and would never have delayed until now.

Owen speculated that it was after Voldemort returned this time and obtained powerful ancient magic, that his wand had problems.

Just like his wand.

Owen's own wand is now three-quarters crystal-like. Only a small section at the end can still be seen as wood.

This is the result of the wand being affected by ancient magic.

Ancient magic - originally the magic of the stars.

Crystallization is inevitable.

I think - Voldemort should have discovered that his wand had crystallized.

Then he turned his attention back to the wand issue.

"But I think Professor Dumbledore must have a plan for what he is looking for, so we don't need to worry about it."

"Now our problem is the Ministry of Magic." Owen said, "It is certain that the Ministry of Magic will not last long. Whether it is the infiltration of the Death Eaters or the social shock caused by the exposure of Scrimgeour's mistakes.

This time - the Ministry of Magic will definitely fall into Tom's hands in the turmoil."

"And this will be in the visible future. I estimate that it will not take more than a few weeks."

"A few weeks!" The wizards present were shocked.

Moody and Kingsley's faces turned extremely ugly.

Because they all knew that Owen was right, and it might even be faster than he expected.

"What should we do if the Ministry of Magic falls into Tom's hands?" Harry asked distressedly.

"Isn't there anyone ready to resist him?" Ron said angrily.

"Of course, Ron, but more people are afraid," Mr. Weasley replied, "They are afraid that they will be the next missing person, and that their children will be attacked next! Terrible rumors are spreading everywhere. For example, I don't believe that the Muggle Studies teacher at Hogwarts has resigned. She has been missing for several weeks. During this period, Scrimgeour has locked himself in his office all day. I really hope he is making plans."

For a moment, everyone fell silent again. Because Mr. Arthur was right.

Not all wizards are as hateful as Sirius.

Not all wizards are like Harry, without any worries.

Not all wizards are like Hermione, with powerful magical powers.

Most of them have families, jobs, and need to eat.

It is human nature to stand by and watch, and it is against human nature to really help.

They can't blame the vast majority of people.

Because life is not easy.

"If the Magic Tribe falls into the hands of You-Know-Who." Mad-Eye Moody gritted his teeth, "You may not be able to go to Hogwarts this year."

"What?" Harry's reaction was the most intense.

Hogwarts is his home.

And now he is homeless.

"It's very simple-" Owen looked at Harry and said, "If the Magic Tribe falls into the hands of Tom, they will definitely use their power to force the Hogwarts Board of Directors to expel Dumbledore."

"And as long as Dumbledore is forced out of the school, Hogwarts will fall into their control."

"Harry!" Owen raised the corner of his mouth, "If Tom is the principal, will you still go to Hogwarts to study?"

"That's definitely impossible!" Harry said firmly, but he soon reacted and lowered his head in frustration.

"What if Dumbledore just doesn't leave Hogwarts?" Hermione frowned, and then said, "The castle is conscious, and it will only obey the command of the recognized principal. Even if the Death Eaters occupy the castle, they cannot completely control the castle."

"If Professor Dumbledore doesn't leave--" Owen shook his head, "then a war will break out, a war that Voldemort will win even at the cost of destroying Hogwarts. At that time, a large number of young wizards may die--I don't think Professor Dumbledore will make such a choice.

He will choose to give up the castle."

"Give up the castle?" The little wizards' stomachs tightened. They were full of panic.

"Yes, give up the castle, and then plan to make Snape the new principal."

"Snape?" Harry was stunned.

"." Suddenly Owen realized that what he said seemed to be a little too deep, and the next step had touched the core of Dumbledore's plan, and it was not appropriate to tell the little wizards about this.

Even Moody and the others should not know.

Be careful not to let them fall into Voldemort's hands and cause intelligence to be lost.

At this moment, there was a noise from the Burrow behind them.

It was Mrs. Weasley who came over with a few plates of apple pies controlled by magic.

"Well, stop talking about those terrible things." She glared at her husband, "Don't say these things in front of the children."

"Eat first, then go back to rest."

Mrs. Weasley smiled, but her tone was full of irreconcilable determination.

The little wizards did not refute.

Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.

In this time of crisis, it was really a luxury for them to sit here and have a meal in peace.

Dinner took more than an hour.

Until dark.

Owen and Hermione used the portal to go back to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

Ron, Coyote and Harry followed.

The Burrow was already a little overcrowded.

Moreover, Fleur and Bill's wedding was to be held in a few days, so at least one room had to be vacated.

There was no other way, the little wizards could only live in No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

Perhaps - this is what Mrs. Weasley did on purpose.

In her heart, 12 Grimmauld Place is safer than the Burrow.

In the next few days, Harry and his friends were trapped in 12 Grimmauld Place like Owen.

Of course, 12 Grimmauld Place is much bigger than the Dursleys' house.

Hermione was immersed in books again.

She seemed to have taken a fancy to the library of the ancestral house.

On the second day after Harry moved in, Fleur also moved in with her sister Gabrielle Delacour.

Finally, Hermione and Ginny found a breakthrough, and they began to ask Fleur about what happened at King's Cross Station.

Talking about this, Fleur became very excited and began to describe in detail the chaos and terror of that day.

Compared with the brutality of the Death Eaters.

More than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Magic Law Enforcement were massacred.

The battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore was the highlight.

Fleur saw the return of Voldemort with her own eyes.

In her description, Voldemort seemed to have turned back into Tom Riddle, with handsome features and a long-lost nose.

Compared with his youth, the only difference between the return of Voldemort and his youth was his silver hair.

The battle with Dumbledore was even more amazing. Both sides used all means, countless spells exploded in the air, and even part of the dark clouds of that day were torn apart.

Fleur did not see Dumbledore's defeat.

When the two fought, she evacuated urgently.

Harry was overwhelmed after listening. He wished he could be there for the battle between legendary wizards.

"Alas, you are not yet seventeen, so you can't fight--" Ron mouthed the three words Voldemort: "You still have the trace on you. We can make a plan here."

"The trace disappeared on the 31st," Harry said, "which means I only need to stay here for four days, and then I can--"

"Five days." Ron corrected him seriously, "We still have to stay for the wedding. Otherwise, they will definitely kill us."

Harry understood that "they" referred to Fleur and Mrs. Weasley.

In the morning, he and Ron were the only ones in the kitchen. Others seemed to have not gotten up yet.

Dobby had already prepared the morning.

Ron picked up a piece of pie and said, "To defeat that man, don't we have to destroy his Horcruxes?"

"How many have we destroyed now?"

"Five." Harry said, "There is a clue for another one. Dumbledore said he would find it."

"The last one." He rubbed his head, "There is no clue at all."

"Are there seven in total?" Ron asked.

"Hmm--" Harry nodded.

"Hey - good morning!" At this time, Hermione and Owen walked into the kitchen.

Fleur and her sister followed in soon.

There was a noisy sound at the stairs, and Ginny also came out.

As soon as she ran into the kitchen, she said, "We have to go to the Burrow today."

"What happened?" Ron stood up immediately.

"Idiot!" Ginny rolled her eyes at him, "Clean up! Clean up!"
