Although the transaction between Voldemort and the Qiang family has not been made public, the tense atmosphere inevitably spread among wizards.But within two days, dozens of children were taken home by their parents for various reasons.

Looking at the classroom, which was at least half empty, Harry felt that his heart was in a mess, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Just as he could think of, even though the issue of confidentiality has been repeatedly emphasized, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.There are always a few smart people who can detect something from the minutiae, and don't think it will be a simple transaction.

"Professor Lupine seems to have left Hogwarts." This session was originally a Transfiguration class, but now for some unexplainable reason, the students started self-study.

"If he's already left, it's probably a big move." Draco paused when he heard the words, and looked at the small note in Harry's hand. "Sure?"

Shaking his head hesitantly, Harry said in a low voice, "It was Hermione who heard what Bisji from Ravenclaw said, and that girl somehow saw it."

"I don't know why I always feel that something is wrong." After completely closing the notebook, Draco flicked the hair on his forehead that was in the way.This feeling has been bothering him since he learned about "that person" the day before yesterday, but there seems to be a thick and invisible fog in front of him, making him unable to find a clue.

Harry understood how he felt.The current situation is completely out of control.Who would have thought that the crazy "that person" would want to recover the Horcrux and restore the soul, and even found a way to solve it?And once that person recovered his soul, the advantages they had would be gone, and it would be really difficult to find his weaknesses.

"I've been wondering whether Dumbledore and the others will destroy the Horcruxes first before 'he' gets the spell." Due to the fact that he has closed his ears to listen to the spell, Harry is not afraid of others Hearing their conversation, I expressed my thoughts that I had been holding back for a day.

However, Draco denied this idea, "At least they won't do this until Qiang Huan is safe."

"Why?" Harry couldn't quite understand, what could be more important than defeating Voldemort?

Draco rubbed Harry's head lovingly when he heard the words, his Harry was indeed a qualified fighter.But... I'm afraid it's hard to become a qualified politician.

"Because neither the British government nor your father allow it." Although the Muggle world seems far away from wizards, in fact many things are closely related.The war in the wizarding world has led to depression and financial turmoil in the Muggle world. Similarly, the political power in the Muggle world also affects the decisions and choices of the leaders of the wizarding world. "The Qiang family currently fully represents their country's political attitude. This time, the Qiang family did not hesitate to use family secrets for Qiang Huan, which shows his status in the family and their country. We may not have such an ally, but we I can't afford the consequences of the Qiang family becoming an ally of 'that person'."

Harry wasn't stupid either, and he understood the key when Draco mentioned it a little bit. "You mean, if we attack the Horcruxes in advance, the Qiang family might defect because of Qiang Huan's safety?"

"It's very likely. That person has always been good at deceiving people, and Qiang Huan is the weakness of the Qiang family. As long as he can control Qiang Huan, he can control the Qiang family to a large extent." Draco nodded. There is a feeling that this time "that person" proposed to exchange Qiang Huan for the Qiang family's family-inherited secret art, it might not be a test—a test of the value of Qiang Huan's use.

And the result of the temptation is also obvious, 'that person' successfully pierced the false appearance shown by the Qiang family.Qiang Huan is actually very valuable.

Harry couldn't agree more. "And people in other countries only value benefits. This time they will come to help us. I think the Ministry of Magic will also pay a very high price."

"That's right. So I think the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix won't and dare not attack Horcruxes at the moment. This is why 'that person' is confident."

Draco's tone was so helpless that Harry couldn't help sighing heavily, raised his hand and rubbed his aching head, "It's so complicated."

"This is politics." Putting all the books on the table into his bag, Draco shrugged, "If it was just pure force, I think Dumbledore would have entangled a bunch of people decades ago to put 'that people' kill, rather than dragging on until now."

really.Harry thought about Draco's words. This is probably why he "once" was able to lead a group of people to encircle Voldemort.In the last period, because of his tyranny, Voldemort basically deserted his relatives, and his followers were either alone or separated from their respective families.And a leader who is not clear-headed cannot control the political power in his hands.

Taking pleasure in bitterness, he imagined the scene where Voldemort was surrounded by Dumbledore and a group of people, beating him up like Dudley and his little friends did, and Harry laughed happily.Although it was very funny, it was undeniable that this kind of scenario that could only appear in fantasy made him feel much better.

Following the flow of people after class, they walked towards the auditorium, and after joining Ron and Hermione, the four of them naturally picked a corner of the long Slytherin table and sat down.Now less than half of the students in the school are left, and vacant seats can be found everywhere, so they don't have to worry about taking someone else's seat.

Although it was a time of war, the food for the children was good.Ron skillfully picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it, and poured orange juice for several people by the way.It has to be said that under Hermione's mediation, this young man has become more and more able to take care of others.

"Hey!" Just when the four of them had chosen their food and were about to start, a familiar figure appeared in their field of vision. "I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Leo!" Obviously, the appearance of the visitor surprised them all, "When did you come back?" After the news of James' attack came, not only Neville was picked up by the Order of the Phoenix, but of course James was also taken away. baby son Leo.

It seemed that Leo was also not happy about being sent back. "Just arrived this afternoon. My dad is already fine, so my mother insisted on sending me back."

"Where's Neville? Didn't come back with you?" This was what Harry wanted to ask.Neville is like a weathervane, which can best indicate the direction of the Order of the Phoenix.

The answer given by Leo is no. "He is being protected now." With such an attractive presence, how could the Ministry of Magic allow him to return to Hogwarts, a place where most of the children in the wizarding world are concentrated.

Draco and Hermione seemed to have heard what Leo was saying, so they accepted it as soon as they saw it and didn't continue to ask.In order to gag Ron, Hermione even stuffed a large chunk of mashed potatoes into his mouth herself.

So in the following time, everyone tacitly bypassed Neville and talked about the hottest topic recently.In view of Leo's special status, some little-known gossip was slowly shared by him, which solved many of their doubts.

Hermione even guessed that perhaps the time for the transaction was set to be tonight.

"You said tonight?" Ron and Leo didn't seem to believe it. Less than three days had passed since "that person" attacked the Ministry of Magic and the exchange agreement was reached. They didn't really believe in the execution of the two parties.

Hermione didn't mind their doubts. In her opinion, convincing people whose opinions were contrary to hers was a very enjoyable thing.

"First of all, I don't know if you have noticed that Hogwarts' defenses have been drawn down a lot. Even Snape and Lupine are not at the school. Secondly, Leo, I don't believe you were sent back just because Your father's body has fully recovered. Third..."

"what--!"
