HP: The Shadow Returns

This is an obvious conspiracy! Why did it fall on Snape? Everyone thought so. Who didn't know that Snape was a member of the Order of the Phoenix?

Perhaps he has betrayed the Order?

"Do you think it's possible that he has been controlled by Virta?" After a long silence, Neville was the first to carefully raise his suspicion.

"impossible"

Harry subconsciously retorted, and his mind suddenly recalled the scene in his third year when Snape stood in front of the three of them to protect them.

"If you are controlled, there should be some abnormality, right?"

"Is it like a manipulated puppet that can't control itself to dance?"

After not speaking for a long time, the Weasley twins, who had been listening nearby, stretched out their hands and asked.

"Yes, Hermione was very sleepy at the time. During that time, she wanted to sleep for 24 hours a day and sleep the next day." Ron remembered this, slapped the table with his hand, and said loudly.

"There is also the state of being in a trance, you don't know what you are doing, and talking to people is unusual."

Ginny said as she tried to remember the feeling of being controlled.

"I'm not lethargic! I'm not delirious!"

Snape's gloomy and rich voice suddenly appeared from behind the door. Everyone was startled. They looked over there and found that Snape, the Weasleys, Lupine and Tonks who had gone out to inquire for news had returned. .

"Children, it's so late, you should be in bed!" Mrs. Weasley said loudly, pinching her waist.

"This is not something children should worry about," Arthur said with concern.

"It's already happened now." Harry's eyes were blood red, and he turned around and growled, "They have invaded the school now, right? Dumbledore is not here, and no one can protect it there."

"Hey, don't say that, Snape and we are all here." Lupine stepped forward and held the excited boy's shoulders, constantly comforting him with words.

The same goes for Tonks. Ever since Moody's death, her colorful hair has turned gray-brown and has never changed back for a long time.

"Yes, you are a hot commodity now. The Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic, and the Gaunt family's Hydra people are all looking for you."

Snape's tall figure blocked the door, and his calm words seemed to contain some cynicism, but there was no doubt that he still cared about Harry Potter? He himself doesn't know.

What protects is Harry Potter or that bright green.

"Then are we going to die like this?"

Harry has not yet learned Occlumency. Voldemort's interference has made his tense nerves feel more fragile, and his occasional madness has made many members miserable.

They could understand Harry's pain. After all, sharing a brain with Voldemort was not an easy task.

"The Dark Lord knows everything..." The depths of the savior's pupils shrank violently, and his hands pinched the thing that looked like a button.

Seeing this, Lupine quickly took it out from his hand. It turned out to be a brooch, which was covered with blood from Harry's fingers, and the pattern on it could no longer be seen clearly.

"Oh...Merlin..." Mrs. Weasley felt extremely distressed when she saw this and hurriedly went to find the medical kit.

Snape's expression became serious after seeing it, and everyone felt the not-so-pleasant atmosphere and fell silent.

"Go to bed, kids, and let's talk to Harry."

Mr. Weasley beckoned the children upstairs, and finally took Cedric aside and asked him whether he was staying the night or going home.

Cedric hesitated for a moment, but finally started on his way home.

As he was about to leave, he heard Mrs. Weasley crying.

"To have a bunch of kids...that's so cruel."

But when he returned home from the Weasley's fireplace, he found two men in green robes coming to the house. Not only that, but there were also many very expensive gifts on the table.

After Mr. Diggory saw him appearing, he happily called Cedric over who was still confused and introduced him to them.

"This is my son, Cedric Diggory. He almost won the Triwizard Tournament last year, although it's a bit of a pity..."

"Your son is indeed very good," said the man who looked very elegant and easy-going, interrupting him.

Mr. Diggory patted his head in embarrassment and seemed to remember something. He said to Cedric embarrassedly.

"By the way, Ced, this is the new Director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Ange Chiziglis and his daughter, Miss Nami Chiziglis."

"Hello." Cedric noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and shook hands with Angers.

"Hello, you are such a strong young man." Angers patted Cedric's shoulder enthusiastically, then turned to Mr. Digory and whispered to him.

"Amos, we already have an idea about the Ministry of Magic transfer you asked about last time..."

Mr. Digory immediately trembled when he heard this. His expression was a little stiff, and he turned to Cedric and said quickly as if there was something urgent.

"I think young people should have more topics to talk about, taking care of Miss Curious Zygris, Seid."

"Okay, Father"

After he agreed, the two adults left.

Looking at the blond woman about his own age in front of him, he led her very familiarly to sit on the sofa in the living room, and asked the house elf to bring some desserts and black tea.

When Cedric was thinking about what to say, Nami across from him spoke, her round eyes full of smiles that didn't reach her eyes.

"Your family is really nice."

"Thank you"

"I heard that you joined the Order of the Phoenix?"

Then, Cedric's brain seemed to be disconnected and stagnated for a second. He swallowed subconsciously, frowned and asked as if he didn't know anything.

"What Order of the Phoenix?"

Nami smiled at the elf carrying desserts and tea, then picked up a cup of hot green tea and took a sip

"Actually, the master asked us to come to you."

"Master?" Cedric's expression turned doubtful again, and he was constantly guessing in his heart.

"Yes, Virta Gunter, as a friend, she really doesn't want you to go astray and bring disaster to your family."

"What do you mean?"

When Cedric heard Sansaro's name, his uneasy heart jumped suddenly, but on the surface he was still trying to stabilize his expression.

Everything Ginny said was true...

"The master hopes that you will withdraw from the Order of the Phoenix, otherwise... your father's job future... will be in jeopardy."

Nami did not continue speaking, but cast her eyes outside the window on Mr. Diggory, who was walking side by side downstairs.

Cedric followed the woman's gaze, and the next second his gaze fell, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The head of the Auror Office met his eyes, and the hand holding the wand behind his back.

It was obvious that if he did not agree, he, his father, and his mother would appear in the Daily Prophet tomorrow.

And it's certainly not good news.

Cedric's chest heaved. He couldn't accept it for a moment. His former playmate actually tried to kill his parents.

And...I have actually been kept in the dark all this time.

"Master just wants you to make the right choice, or do nothing."

When Nami finished speaking, Mrs. Digory walked out from the side with a smile, placed two small matcha cakes in front of them, and then said softly to the woman

"I hope you like my craftsmanship"

"This looks delicious. Thank you so much for your hospitality." Nami praised, while giving Cedric a meaningful look.

After Mrs. Digory left, Cedric held the cup tightly and apologized deeply to all the members of the Order of the Phoenix. After struggling, he reluctantly and reluctantly agreed.

"I'll quit."

A sneer appeared on Nami's face

"Then please write now, Mr. Cedric Diggory."
