HP: The Shadow Returns

There was nothing too serious about this meeting. After all, Dumbledore was dead and the rest was just a matter of time.

and,

Virta trusted the people of Hydera more than the Death Eaters, and disorderly madmen were not what she wanted.

The meeting ended shortly after, and there was no major trouble in the process.

But after that, unlike Lucius, who was anxious, Bellatranks found excuses to stay, but was undoubtedly blocked by Voldemort for various reasons.

Then she was forcibly taken away by Lucius.

Theodore has no such worries. As the upright fiancé of the Gaunt family, he can’t wait to spend every minute and every second of his life with Huerta.

When the place became quiet again, Huerta looked at the man opposite who had no expression on his face, raised his eyelids and asked

"Snape hasn't responded to you yet. As I said, brother..."

"In fact, he has already contacted me. I have my own judgment on this matter." Before she could finish speaking, Voldemort stood up slowly, seemingly not planning to waste any more time on this topic.

When he finally left the conference room, he glanced at Theodore twice, and then walked out with Nagini, the big snake swimming on the ground.

Virta calmed down and breathed a long sigh of relief. Theodore, who noticed that she was not in a good mood, quickly became attached to her again.

"It doesn't matter. It would be a good thing if Snape continued to work for him."

"A good thing?" Virta asked, grinding her teeth.

"I heard that you can better feel the magic on the ground with bare feet." Theodore leaned on her shoulder, not wanting to cause embarrassment to both parties, he changed the topic directly.

After all, they are brother and sister, and if there is a gap because of themselves, it will be troublesome.

"Really? I think the savior already knows my identity. The last time she was injured at the hands of Dumbledore, Ginny's memory recovered a little. I think Hermione must be no exception."

Virta knew Theodore's thoughts, but she didn't intend to let Snape go just like that. She would just follow the boy's wishes for the time being, with a bad smile on her pale face.

"What will she do if she knows that she is the culprit who killed so many members of the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Then let people go to No. 12 Grimmauld Place and have a look."

.....

Of course, the activities of all members of the Order of the Phoenix have now been moved to the Burrow outside the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole.

It is the home of the Weasleys, a huge crooked building piled up by magic.

But the atmosphere here is very bad now. Not to mention that the main members of the Order of the Phoenix have left, and...

"Hermione hasn't woken up yet?"

after dinner.

Everyone gathered around the table, and Ron looked very worried at Cedric opposite, who had rich medical theories.

Yes, after Cedric learned about this, he joined the Order of the Phoenix not long ago under Ginny's introduction.

There are also some former members of Dumbledore's Army, but of course not all of them. Qiu Zhang did not join because of family problems.

"The wound on her wrist was very serious. Although she has been recovering for almost a month, she is still in a coma. But why did Miss Granger commit suicide?"

Cedric asked with a very serious expression, because in his impression, Hermione Granger was a very outstanding school girl, and she was very diligent and worthy of respect in the pursuit of knowledge.

Harry, who was closest to him, remained silent. After Dumbledore's funeral and after learning that Sansaro was Virta, he had been acting very gloomy.

There was something like a coin that he kept playing with in his hand.

Neville next to him felt that Harry had changed a lot. He even looked a little like Voldemort now? But can this be said...

He swallowed vaguely.

"Oh..."

Ron hesitated and didn't know what to say. During this time, he glanced at his sister Ginny.

Ginny saw that most people were looking at her, and she pursed her lips subconsciously.

Because only the innermost members of the Order of the Phoenix knew about Virta, and when they joined first, he didn't tell them.

"Perhaps you should have heard of Virta..."

Ginny told the whole thing in great detail, including Sansaro's true identity, and how he controlled Hermione during the Triwizard Tournament, causing her to leak information about many members, causing them to be killed. .

There is also the address of the former gathering place.

Hermione committed suicide because of the unbearable guilt in her heart. At the moment when Virta was severely injured, after she learned about this incident, her whole body felt as if the sky had fallen and she collapsed to the ground.

At that time, Ginny was the only one in the crowd who noticed this.

At that time, no one saw Hermione again, until a letter appeared.

"Yes, she said in the letter that the place was no longer safe, and she kept repenting. We didn't know what she was talking about at the time."

Ron had some regret on his face. He regretted that he didn't discover Hermione's abnormality earlier, so that her Muggle parents wouldn't be anxious and try every means to contact them.

Notified them of Hermione's suicide.

Cedric didn't react for a while. He pretended to smile relaxedly for the first time.

"Aren't you kidding? Sansaro is the sister of the mysterious man? Huerta?"

"I know you have known each other since childhood." Seeing his appearance, Ginny stood up with a serious look on the table and stared at Cedric as he spoke word by word.

"But what I said is true. He took the diary containing the Dark Lord's soul from me since the second grade. Were you there at the time?"

Ginny paused, a trace of fear and anger appearing on her face.

"Furthermore...this is the second time she has controlled me, and Hermione has been controlled by her for a year. No one knows how Hermione spent that year!"

"The outside world is now controlled by them, which is why we can't send Hermione to St. Mungo's. Those people will find her in the next second and kill her!"

After Cedric heard all this, he sat down on the chair all of a sudden, feeling weak and still retaining a glimmer of hope in his heart. How could this be possible? Sansaro, hasn't she always been a gentle and lovely girl? How can this be.....

"Do you still remember the crocodile in the Black Lake in the Triwizard Tournament..."

In this vast silence, when everyone was discussing quietly with each other and exchanging glances, Harry suddenly spoke, his voice was very hoarse, as if he had been injured.

All eyes turned to him.

Harry slowly raised his dark, thin and cold face, staring at Cedric as he spoke word by word.

"I teleported to her manor and saw that those crocodiles were raised by Sanvirta. Let's face the reality. She has been trying to kill us in the competition..."

"Even if you were once her --- friend ---"

Anyone with ears can tell that Harry's deliberately long voice and gritted teeth meant something very unclear...it seemed to be ridicule, it seemed to be self-deprecation.

Or maybe it’s both.

"Guys, have you read the newspaper?" Neville said, holding the "Daily Prophet" that had been in his hand for a while and looking at everyone in disbelief.

"Fudge appoints Snape as the new headmaster of Hogwarts..."
