HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

"Didn't you hear it?"

"Of course I heard it!"

"Really?" Sirius raised his eyebrows, looking at Xia who was making unreasonable demands, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"Of course," Xia said firmly, "I'm not made of wood."

Of course Sirius would not believe Xia's nonsense. His face full of doubts dealt a heavy blow to Xia's self-confidence.

"I have to catch up on my homework," she gently pushed Sirius away, "Goodbye, you annoying guy." After saying that, she left without looking back.

Sirius felt that Xia was becoming more and more interesting. Just look at her stubborn and angry back. It was simply impossible to look away.

In the library, James and Ender were already writing furiously, and Xia and Sirius, who came later, quickly joined them.

The adults on the other side were not idle either. Dumbledore brought a message.

Rather than calling it news, it was more like his initial assumption that Voldemort's power did not decline over time as they had predicted a few years ago. Instead, it grew stronger and stronger, and the impact they brought was far beyond what anyone had expected before.

The Ministry of Magic's attitude towards this matter is unclear. As an official organization of the magical world, it has no clear attitude, and the people under its command are not in a position to express anything. This is why things are developing in an unpredictable direction.

But this situation cannot last long. The Aurors, who are responsible for fighting against dark wizards, were hired based on the sense of justice in their hearts. However, the current situation and the attitude of the department tell them that everything is different from what they imagined. Most Aurors cannot accept this.

Alastor Moody is one of them. He has a hot temper but not impulsive, which makes his hot temper the embodiment of bravery. He is one of the most "famous" Aurors in the Auror Department. He has experienced hundreds of battles and will never show mercy to dark wizards.

Such a person would not allow the dark forces to do evil. The last time he took the initiative to ask Lawrence, he was trying to see what plans the greatest white wizard of this century had. If Dumbledore needed him, he would take action without hesitation.

After Xia told Dumbledore about the Horcruxes, he began to think about how to fight Voldemort. At that time, he was sitting in the headmaster's office thinking that the Horcruxes were too dangerous and had to be destroyed safely. But before he could start investigating the information about the Horcruxes, his students were taken away on the platform.

He did not stop Tom Riddle in time before, allowing him to do many evil things with his sweet words and deceptive appearance. Now he still did not stop him in time. If he had noticed it earlier, and realized that Tom was behind the scenes when Sylvia Hopps' magic power was drained away, would things be different?

Albus Dumbledore was not a very sentimental man, and he had spent decades atonement, trying to make up for not allowing the next Ariana to appear, but the fact was that he had neglected it again.

Moody's attitude also reminded him that the Horcruxes had to be destroyed, but the noise caused by Voldemort and the Death Eaters also needed to be dealt with. Although Dumbledore no longer had any ideas about leadership, he had to lead a team to fight Voldemort, an underground, unofficial team.

This is also the reason why he appeared in Priest Manor today.

"You mean, rely on our strength?" Lawrence could no longer hold back. Dumbledore had just opened his mouth when he couldn't help but ask.

When he was young, he heard too much about his parents participating in the war to defeat Grindelwald. At that time, he fantasized that when he grew up, he would do many things like his father and protect many people. However, after so many years, he did not have this opportunity until he became a father.

It's not that he didn't want to be an Auror, but right after he married Anna, they traveled around like his parents did. Not long after, Anna became pregnant and he just wanted to take good care of Anna. Later, when Ender and Xia were born, he wanted to stay with his family all the time.

His youthful ambitions were filled with the love of his family. He thought that protecting his family was the fulfillment of his childhood wish. This idea was shattered not long ago. If the external chaos is not resolved, even if the internal situation is peaceful, there will always be a day of backlash.

When Anna was just pregnant, they almost lost their two children due to some accidents. At that time, he and Anna decided to love their children wholeheartedly. So many years have passed, and although their current life is different from what they had imagined before, they don’t think it matters.

They are making up for it in their own way.

Even if they have lived a stable life for more than ten years, it does not mean that they have lost the passion they had when they were in school.

"Be steady, dear." Anna patted Lawrence's arm, but her eyes were as excited as Lawrence's.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Yes, we can rely on our strength." He looked at the people in front of him and chose to tell them first. It was not without selfish motives. There were many people who wanted to resist, but it was not easy to get them to take action.

When something happened to the younger generations of the Hopes and Priests families, as elders, they would not give up, so it was very easy to persuade them to join them.

He didn't need to think too much before taking this step, and he didn't think it was a calculation.

If he had to, he would have to admit that he was only acting for the "greater good."

Dumbledore thought of this while speaking, and he couldn't help but pause, but in less than a second he returned to his usual state.

He continued, "I think we are in an advantageous position at the moment. Voldemort believed that the Horcrux was a secret that belonged to him alone, but he did not expect that we also possessed it."

"I have a few ideas about the location of the Horcruxes—"

"I'm willing to go if you need me!" Lawrence said impatiently.

Dumbledore nodded and said, "Horcruxes contain powerful dark magic. If necessary, I will ask for your help." He still didn't think it was a good thing to let more people come into contact with Horcruxes, but whenever Xia saw him, she told him not to look for Horcruxes by herself. Over time, Dumbledore also thought that having one more person was an extra guarantee.

"We don't need more people to know about the search for Horcruxes. For now, what I need you to do is to deal with the chaos created by the Death Eaters. For example, reduce the number of incidents like Xia being kidnapped."

"Death Eaters like to release the Dark Mark at times, which can be clearly distinguished from ordinary riots." Anna said, "But what we are doing is not an unofficial organization, right? Once discovered, it may be more troublesome."

Anna thought about it. She was not sure whether Dumbledore had thought of this. After seeing his affirmative look, she continued, "I think that when they are trying to win over various forces, they will definitely worry about whether they will be retaliated against afterwards. If the Aurors have a status as a guarantee but no longer have this status, they will definitely be concerned."

"We have to conceal our identities like the Death Eaters, whether it works or not, but this little bit of assurance can relieve most people of their concerns."

"But I still believe that a true warrior will not be afraid of these things."

Dumbledore highly agreed with Anna's words, and after a brief discussion, he left the manor.

He had others to find.
