Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

In the blink of an eye, they appeared on a country road.

The crooked but familiar silhouette in front of him was the Burrow.

"Why the Burrow? Didn't it mean to go to the Order of the Phoenix..." Hermione said in surprise.

"It was originally like this, but the plan has changed. Rufus asked to confirm Harry's location at all times in order to provide protection. He told me this afternoon. Harry is not allowed to 'disappear' from under his nose." Dumbledore explained, "After knowing the prophecy, it's not surprising that he can think so, but this would make the Order of the Phoenix headquarters inappropriate, and we can't tell the Ministry of Magic the specific location."

"So, we came to the Burrow?"

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic is here to provide the strictest protection they can provide," said Dumbledore, "and Arthur and Molly welcome you here, although it brings them a certain degree of protection. Inconvenient, for example, all their mail must be checked by the Ministry before it can be delivered and so on. But they don't mind it at all, and they only care about the safety of the three of you."

Although he was the one who caused the Weasleys all this trouble, Harry had to admit that his mood brightened when he saw the Burrow, Ron was here, and Mrs. Weasley, she did The food is better than anyone he knows...

"The Burrow is great, I like it here," Alvin said.

Compared with the gloomy Black old house, this place is obviously much more relaxed.

Although the place was a bit small and it was not easy to do surprise operations at night, Mrs. Weasley was very enthusiastic.

There are also Fred and George. The last time Ivan contacted them was a few months ago.

At that time, their prank joke shop received a lot of orders, and I don't know how it is doing now?

Chapter 1240 Private Talk

"I asked again and again, Rufus didn't send Aurors into the Burrow." Dumbledore continued, "So, before the end of the summer vacation, I hope you don't leave here, even for the sake of Arthur and Molly .Including you, Alvin, I know you have a lot to do, but don't leave this house."

"No problem." Ivan said, "I have no other plans before returning to Hogwarts."

"Very good." Dumbledore said, "In a few days, you can go to Diagon Alley to buy supplies for the new semester. At that time, the Ministry of Magic will send someone to accompany you all the way. Well, you and Hermione can go first Wait for us by the back door? Before we part, I have a few words to say to Harry alone."

Alvin and Hermione looked at each other, then turned and walked towards the back door of the Burrow.

They saw Dumbledore leading Harry into a small run-down stone room outside the house where the Weasleys kept their brooms.

Ivan wasn't sure what Dumbledore was going to say to Harry, but now that this was the time, Harry should be gradually involved to help him grow until he was ready to face death...

It was cruel, far harder than asking Harry to fight Voldemort, even harder than defeating Voldemort.

Unlike others, what Harry has to face is his own heart, he must have the awareness of death.

No luck, Harry had to die once to destroy the Horcrux fragments inside him.

Although Dumbledore has made preparations, if Harry does not have the awareness to sacrifice himself, this kind of thing will become the biggest difficulty in the process of defeating Voldemort, and there is a high possibility that Harry will not come back after death.

This is not a child's play, nor is it something that can be done with magic.

If Dumbledore really cared about Harry, he should start tutoring him to make his mind strong.

Dumbledore also said this last semester, leading Ivan and Harry to find Voldemort's past memories.

In the process, he will help Harry find the true meaning of life and overcome death.

It doesn't matter to Ivan here, it seems that it is not so simple after the death of the wizard, and many powerful wizards have embarked on this road without hesitation.

If he is ready, or if he has the chance, he would like to die once...

In addition, he intends to ask Dumbledore if he has found the location of the evil god's brain and the location of the double snake staff. Are there any relevant clues in the information left by Slytherin?

Dumbledore didn't say anything, and he wasn't in a hurry.

The most important thing right now is not Slytherin, but going back to the past to get Ravenclaw's treasure key.

"Look, the kitchen lights are on, it must be Mrs Weasley, she's waiting for us," said Hermione.

"Yeah, I knew we would come, Ron and the others shouldn't be asleep." Ivan said, and looked at The Burrow.

"Well, speaking of Ron, it's a little strange." Hermione hesitated, and continued, "It's not a big deal, but I don't know why, he didn't write me a single letter this summer vacation."

"Maybe the ministry's inspection of mail is too strict..." he said casually.

"The Ministry of Magic's inspection of mails entering and exiting the Burrow only started when we came here. No one checked before. I have been in contact with Ginny since the summer vacation." Hermione said, "I asked her, and she didn't know What's going on, it's just that Little Pig has been busy this summer, Ron may be in contact with Lavender."

"It's possible that Lavender is his girlfriend after all." Ai Wen said.

"Yeah, he and Lavender are in love, and he should contact her instead of writing to me. I just..." Hermione thought for a moment before continuing, "I'm not used to it, he used to be in love every summer vacation. Write a lot of letters."

This is indeed the case. In every previous summer vacation, Ron was the most active and had frequent contact with other people.

Especially here with Hermione, because Ivan is always away from the UK, and Harry often has problems, so Ron spends most of his time discussing the situation in the wizarding world, what he has learned during the holidays, and homework with Hermione.

But if you think about it carefully, after having Lavender, there is really no need for Ron to contact Hermione!

"Contrary to Ron who didn't have a single letter, Fred and George would send me their new product advertisements and trial products almost every day, asking me to publish them in the "Hogwarts Wizarding News". "

Although the scale of the newspaper is getting bigger and bigger, Hermione has been managing a part of the business. She is mainly responsible for matters related to students. she.

Ivan and Hermione talked about Fred and George's shop for a while, and they seemed to be operating beyond imagination.

It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Harry and Dumbledore came out of the broom shed.

Harry's expression was much heavier than before. Obviously, what Dumbledore said to him was not easy.

"Sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long. I just told Harry that the OWLs test report card will be delivered sometime today, and you can decide on your elective courses then." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"My God, I almost forgot about that," said Hermione hastily. "Professor, how did we do?"

"You will know after receiving the report card. You know, the test papers of the OWLs exam are reviewed by the Wizarding Examination Authority. Even the headmaster can't know the specific results before the report card comes out." Dumbledore said, " But don't worry too much, Hermione, I think your grades are fine..."

Hermione's grades are of course not a problem, what she worries about is whether she can get all the excellent ones.

Aiwen didn't want to talk about this topic with her, it was definitely an endless thing.

He followed Dumbledore quickly and walked through the back door, where there were still as many old boots and rusty cauldrons piled up in the same mess as before, and the soft crowing of sleeping chickens could be heard in the far shed.

Dumbledore knocked three times on the door when there was a sudden movement behind the kitchen window.

"Who is it?" asked a nervous voice. It was Mrs. Weasley. "Give me your name!"

"It's me, Dumbledore, with Harry, Ivan, and Hermione."

The door opened immediately.At the door stood Mrs. Weasley, a squat, squat woman in an old green dressing gown.

"God, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, my dear, you are here! Albus, I'm so worried, I was just saying why you haven't arrived yet, Arthur said that you might not come until tomorrow morning Come!"

"It might have been tomorrow morning, but we're not bad luck." Dumbledore let Ivan and the others into the house, and said, "Slughorn made it easy, it's not like what I thought So difficult. Of course, it's all three of them. Ah, hello, Nymphadora!"

Chapter 1241 Promotion and new department

Although it was getting late, Mrs. Weasley was not alone.

Behind her, a young witch was sitting at a table, holding a large teacup in both hands.

Her heart-shaped face is somewhat pale, and her hair is ash-brown.

"Hello, Professor." Tonks said hastily, "and you three little ones."

"Hello, Tonks." The three greeted her.

Truth be told, Tonks looked pretty bad.

She looked haggard, even a little sick, and there was some reluctance in her smile.

Also, her hair is no longer its usual bubblegum pink, which definitely takes a toll on her look.

Anyone can see that Tonks must have encountered something unsatisfactory recently.

"How about it, did you have a good summer vacation? Ivan, I saw it in the newspaper. You made a lot of noise in Egypt. They said that you defeated an ancient demon..."

"It's not defeating, it's just using some small tricks. I'll tell you later, what happened to you recently?"

"I'm fine, but I'm tired, so what, I have to go." She said hastily, as if unwilling to expand on this topic, she got up and wrapped her shoulders with the cloak, "Thank you for the tea, thank you for your comfort , Molly."

"Are you really okay?" Hermione asked worriedly, "You're in a bad state right now."

"No, you guys are busy..."

"Please don't leave because of me." Dumbledore said humbly and politely, "I can't stay long, I have important things to attend to."

"No, no, I do have to go." Tonks said, avoiding everyone's eyes. "Good night, everyone."

"Honey, come to dinner on the weekend, Remus and Mad-Eye are coming..."

"No, Molly, really not, thank you very much, and good night to you all."

Tonks hurried past several people into the courtyard, descended a few steps, turned around on the spot, and disappeared in a flash.

"Okay, I have to go too. I'll see you at Hogwarts on September [-]." Dumbledore said, "You three, take good care of yourselves. Molly, just ask if you have anything to do."

He bowed to Mrs. Weasley, followed behind Tonks, and disappeared in the same place.

There was no one in the yard, and Mrs. Weasley sighed and closed the door. He led Ivan, Harry, and Hermione to the light of the lamp on the table, hugged the three of them one by one, and carefully looked at everyone's appearance .

"I sent Ron and Ginny up to bed, they've been waiting here," she said, looking them up and down, "Hermione, you don't look much different, but you're a big girl now, and you're much older than you were before." Much prettier. On the contrary, Ivan and Harry, like Ron, you two seem to have been under a stretching spell. I dare say, since I bought Ron a school robe last time, he has grown four full years. inches. By the way, are you hungry?"

"Yeah, hungry," said Harry, who hadn't eaten anything for dinner.

Ivan and Hermione also nodded. After tossing for so long, they were also a little hungry.

"Sit down, dear, and I'll get you something to eat," said Mrs. Weasley.

As soon as they sat down, Crookshanks jumped into Hermione's lap and purred on top of his lap.

"Here you are, Crookshanks." Hermione scratched the base of Crookshanks' ear.

"A few hours ago, it appeared with your salute, and Hedwig, Ron has brought it back to the house and put it with the pig." Mrs. Weasley tapped a large iron with her wand. pot.

The iron pot jumped onto the stove with a bang, and immediately began to roll and bubble.

"Ron originally wanted to wait for a while, but it was too late, I thought you wouldn't come, so I drove him to bed." She said, "By the way, Ivan, what Nymphadora just said is true." Wrong, the newspapers have been full of news about you recently, they said that you did those dangerous things in Egypt, all kinds of news are outrageous, you didn’t fight a demon, did you?”

"No." Ivan said immediately, not wanting Mrs. Weasley to worry, "I didn't fight it, but found a mechanism to control it."

"I guess that's it, the newspaper is depraved and full of lies now, but they used to be like that." Mrs. Weasley said, "They don't even think about how you can fight a demon, it's too dangerous Of course, you shouldn't go to Egypt, the current world..."

She went on to talk about the chaos caused by Voldemort's return and the frequent attacks around the world.

A few minutes later, she tapped the iron pan again.

The iron pot rose into the air, flew toward them, then lurched sideways.

Mrs. Weasley hastily tucked a bowl underneath just enough to catch the thick, steaming onion soup it poured out.

Then, the iron pan moved to the left and repeated the pouring action, and Mrs. Weasley placed two bowls there one by one.

"Would you like some bread, dear?" asked Mrs. Weasley.

"Thank you, Mrs Weasley."

She flicked her wand over the back of her shoulder, and a piece of bread and a knife flew gracefully onto the table.

The bread sliced ​​itself, the soup pot flew back and landed on the stove, and Mrs. Weasley took a seat opposite Harry.

"So you persuaded Horace Slughorn to take the job?"

"Well, we convinced him, mainly Ivan and Harry." Hermione said.

Ivan and Harry also nodded, their mouths were full of hot soup and they were speechless.

"He used to teach Arthur and me," said Mrs. Weasley. "He was at Hogwarts many years ago. I think he came in about the same time as Dumbledore. Well, you like him. ?"

"I don't really like it, but I don't hate it either," said Hermione hesitantly.

"He looks like a very interesting person." Ivan said, swallowing what was in his mouth.

With his mouth full of bread again, Harry shrugged his shoulders and shook his head noncommittally.

"Yeah, I see what you mean." Mrs. Weasley nodded understandingly. "Yes, he could make himself attractive if he wanted to, but Arthur never liked him very much. He had many of his past favorites, and he was always willing to teach them a lesson, but never spent much time with Arthur, whom he seemed to think had little ambition. Hey, it goes to show that even Slugher En will also be mistaken. Has Ron already written to tell you, this is a recent thing, Arthur has been promoted!"

Apparently, Mrs. Weasley had been impatient to speak about it, and was looking forward to everyone's reaction.

Ivan and Hermione looked at each other awkwardly. They hadn't received a letter from Ron at all this summer.

So, knowing nothing, Ron didn't even tell them this kind of thing.

Harry, on the other hand, quickly swallowed a mouthful of scalding hot soup, feeling his throat was blistered.

"Excellent!" he gasped. "He put it simply in his letter to me last time."

"You're so cute." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, she probably thought that Harry's tears were because he was excited after hearing the good news, and didn't notice the embarrassment of Ivan and Hermione, "Yeah, in order to understand the current situation In response, Rufus Scrimgeour set up several new departments, and Arthur is now in charge of the 'Office of Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Equipment'. This job is very important, and there are now ten people under him!"
