Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

"What should I do?" Hermione squeezed Soul in her arms and said nothing, but her vivid expression clearly expressed Hermione's intention to seek advice.

Sur shook his head slightly.

"Objection?" Hermione asked softly.

Soul shook his head again and looked at Harry. The stubbornness and determination on his face showed that opposition was of no use. Even if he was alone, he would definitely go to the Ministry of Magic.

This time the tacit understanding between Soul and Hermione will be tested.

Neither agreeing nor opposing, then there is only one possibility,

Hermione understood Soul's meaning from Soul's shaking movement and eyes.

"Delaying time?"

Yes, Soul happily patted Hermione's arm and jumped out of Hermione's arms. This scene naturally attracted everyone's attention in the quiet Room of Requirement, oh, except for the upset Harry. .

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't want to appear holy in front of others.

It's not time to reveal that he's not 'dead' yet.

Soul quickly ran towards the door that was left open due to negligence.

"Hermione, it's gone," Ginny said.

"It doesn't matter." Hermione shook her head and looked at Harry, "Are you sure you want to go to the Ministry of Magic to save Sirius? If the truth is what you see."

Harry said nothing and nodded his head without hesitation.

Okay, Hermione breathed out softly, her head racing, "Then, you go, but before that, I want you to use the Patronus Charm again."

"No matter what, you must inform someone from the Order of the Phoenix, no matter who it is."

"But..." Harry shook his head, his tone impatient, "Didn't you hear what Kreacher said? Lupine, Mad-Eye, they are not at Grimmauld Place, who can I look for?"

"There is another person." Hermione said slowly, "He is in this castle."

"You mean..." Harry responded, and Ginny spoke before Harry.

"Professor Snape!"

"No..." Harry shook his head subconsciously.

"But it is undeniable that Snape is indeed the best solution at present..." Hermione said.

Just as a new round of dialogue began in the Room of Requirement, Soul ran out and quickly approached the principal's office. Whether others knew it, he had a way to contact Dumbledore.

The Sorting Hat has been inherited in the castle for thousands of years. It has witnessed the changes of this castle. In the eyes of the world, it has no merit except for sorting. It is a dirty and sloppy hat. It has a magical connection with every current principal. connect.

If Dumbledore wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him.

Yes, neither can the Patronus Charm. Although the Patronus is difficult to be monitored by magic, it is not without traces.

But as long as Dumbledore is the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat will always be able to contact him.

No, maybe there are still people who think that because the Ministry of Magic unilaterally laid off Dumbledore, he is no longer the principal of Hogwarts, right?

The gargoyle stone beast was still strong and quickly moved out of the way to let Sur enter.

Soul, who returned to his human form on the steps, walked straight forward and opened the door to the principal's office. He walked towards the Sorting Hat on the shelf with a clear purpose, picked it up and put it on his head.

This was what the Sorting Hat told Soul when he entered the principal's office, the emergency contact information that allowed him to contact Dumbledore.

"Excuse me, Mr. Sorting Hat, please contact Dumbledore for me."

……

After a while, Soul walked out of the principal's office. Instead of changing his form, he used the Disillusionment Charm and quietly returned to Hermione.

At this time, Harry still looked hesitant and reluctant. His rejection of Snape had been deeply rooted in his heart and soul since he first entered school, even if he saw it in the pensieve some time ago. Snape’s unbearable past—[I’ve omitted it here to avoid it being too watery and unsightly. Please read the original work for details]

"Although Snape has been targeting you on weekdays, this is a big deal. If Sirius is really caught by Voldemort, tortured or even executed..." Hermione did not notice that Soul came back and persuaded Harry earnestly.

"You don't know, Hermione, you don't understand." Harry shook his head, pursed his lips, and said, "If someone wants Sirius...Snape definitely wants him the most..."

"This won't work, that won't work either. Have you ever thought that if you didn't contact Sirius just because he had other things to do, then it was indeed a trap for Voldemort to lead you to the Ministry of Magic?!"

There was impatience beneath Hermione's calm tone.

"I don't know what the grudge is between Snape and Sirius, but I think that as long as he is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he must know what to do and what not to do! This is what an adult must understand. The truth!”

She wanted to say something else, but Soul gently pulled Hermione.

"I'm back." The voice compressed by magic reached Hermione's ears. Hermione closed her mouth tightly and gave a confused look in the direction where Sur pulled her.

"I found Dumbledore. This is indeed a trap for Harry." Soul continued to force his voice into a line, "Sirius and Dumbledore are together."

Hermione looked as if that was indeed the case.

What the two of them didn't notice was that due to Hermione's unnatural expression, Ginny noticed it and showed a hint of doubt. She frowned slightly and quietly moved her steps.

Is anyone else here? she thinks.

Ginny, like everyone else, looked at Harry, who was frowning in thought, but her peripheral vision kept glancing in Hermione's direction.

"Then what should we do next?" Hermione didn't know how to force her voice into a perfect line. She could only move her lips slightly and let out a sound that almost only the two of them could hear.

"Help Harry and let him go to the Ministry of Magic." Soul said, "Professor Dumbledore has made arrangements."

"If this is a trap against Harry, then why don't we use this trap as a trap against Voldemort in our favor?"

These were Dumbledore's original words, which were also moved to Hermione by Soul.

Hermione's face showed a hint of surprise, as well as a hint of worry.

"Isn't this too dangerous?"

"This will be a good opportunity to weaken Voldemort's strength. The danger is inevitable, so we must reduce the number of people going there as much as possible. I have a very simple plan---"

Hermione made a show of listening carefully, Soul couldn't be exposed, so she had to tell Harry this plan.

At this time, Ginny, who noticed something was wrong with Hermione, was already sure.

There was a seventh person somewhere that she couldn't see. She raised her delicate brows and approached step by step. She was separated from Hermione by pretending to wave her hand unintentionally.

The feeling of the back of her hand brushing against silk was truly conveyed to Ginny's brain, which quickly judged and gave accurate feedback.

There is nothing, but there is a touch.

Hey, there are people.
