[HP] Five Poisons

"Harry... Harry..."

"...I need...that prophecy ball..."

"Give it to me..."

……

The whole robe was soaked in cold sweat, with a sticky discomfort, Harry, who finally broke free from that memory that didn't belong to him, leaned against Ron with a pale face, sliding his throat, facing Hermione With worried eyes, he wanted to say something.

"Don't talk yet, Harry." Hermione turned sideways and poured a glass of water into Harry's hand. "You look terrible."

Harry smiled weakly, grasped the glass of water with his stiff fingers, brought it to his mouth slowly, swallowed in small mouthfuls, and recovered a little bit of strength after the glass of water drank.

Harry let out a long breath, "I saw him, I mean, You-Know-Who, in the Department of Mysteries, looking for something."

"Looking for what?" He heard Ron's eager voice above his head, and Harry frowned, trying to recall every detail, "It's a prophecy ball... He asked me to go over and give him the prophecy ball... I also saw a lot of people... Sirius, Professor Lupine, Mr Weasley... he was torturing them, very loudly..."

Before he finished speaking, Harry felt Ron behind him stiffen up. He licked his lips, "Don't worry, Ron, what he showed me should be an illusion."

Ron said nothing.

"The clothes are different, Ron." Harry explained, "Sirius' clothes are different, you forgot, I just contacted him before, he was wearing a striped shirt, which the mysterious man showed me In that memory, Sirius was wearing a dark shirt. He won't have time to change now."

That's right, Sirius and the others have already caught those Death Eaters outside, how could they still have the time to change their shirts.Ron became happy, and then cursed the guy who was malicious and deliberately misleading. "What an insidious guy!" He's been acting like a monster all day long!

Hermione felt a little strange, "Since he was there by himself, why did he let you go there?" Is it okay to just take it? "Harry, you're not going over there, are you?"

Harry didn't say yes, but he didn't deny it either.

Hermione became anxious immediately, and her calm voice suddenly raised, "Are you going there to die?! Now Sirius and the others are hunting Death Eaters outside, do you think we can defeat him?!"

Ron nodded repeatedly, for fear that Harry would not think about it for a while, and really wanted to run over to die.

"I haven't lived enough." Harry shook his head, "I just think that today, the Death Eaters escaped from prison, and then the mysterious man induced me to go to the Department of Mysteries to get the prophecy ball there. You say, this is Doesn't it mean that those Death Eaters will also rush there to find the mysterious man?"

Hermione and Ron looked at each other, frowned, and said nothing.

Harry took out the double-way mirror and raised his hand, "We can inform Sirius first, so that they can rush over." After a pause, "I think this is a good opportunity, those Death Eaters have been imprisoned for so long , the current state is definitely not very good, I mean, we still have Principal Dumbledore! Don't you think this is an opportunity?"

"Tell the principal about this, you don't need to go there by yourself." Hermione still disagreed with Harry's adventure, just kidding, there is a mysterious person waiting there, what if something unexpected happens?

"If you want to notify Sirius and Principal Dumbledore, there's no need to worry about it." Chi Mo entered the restaurant with a small silver butterfly on his forehead, "They already know."

The three were quiet for a while.

Ron pointed at Chi Mo's head, very puzzled. "Can the Patronus evolve?"

Chi Mo: "?"

"Isn't your original Patronus a caterpillar?" Still sitting on the chair, Harry raised his face and looked at the little butterfly lying firmly on top of its master's head, "When did the chrysalis form? I didn't even listen to you." I mentioned it, they have grown into butterflies!" The words were full of exclamation.

Even Hermione came over to look at the butterfly curiously, wondering why it wasn't mentioned in the book.

Chi Mo, who was surrounded by strong crowd: "..." Caterpillar peat, that's ice silkworm...

Finally, Hermione looked at Chi Mo's blank gaze and remembered what he said just now, "Have you notified them? How did you know?" Chi Mo was not in the restaurant just now.

"Kreacher told me." Chi Mo casually pushed the matter to the absent house elf.

"Oh!" Hermione patted her forehead in frustration, how could she forget the existence of house elves.After bemoaning her memory, Hermione turned to look at Harry. "Sirius and the others already know about it, and they must be on their way now. There is no need for us to go there."

Harry shifted his gaze to Chi Mo, and pursed his lips, "Do you think so too? Think I should just stay here and wait for everything to end?"

"Go if you want." Chi Mo was puzzled, "Why ask me, your legs didn't grow on my body."

"Chi Mo!" Hermione couldn't help raising the volume - Chi Mo didn't object to Harry rushing over.

Chi Mo glanced at Hermione, who was full of disapproval, and Harry, who was eager to try. He thought about Regulus' message just now, and pondered about the prophecy ball that Harry just said.The mysterious man had already arrived, and he wanted to let Harry go, either, he was going to make a deal; or, he couldn't get the prophecy ball by himself, only Harry could.

But whatever it is, it's better to go and have a look.

Thinking of this, Chi Mo pointed to the double-sided mirror in Harry's hand, "Why don't you use it as a bait?" "?" Ron wondered, "How should I do it?"

Walk through the long black corridor and arrive at a closed blue wooden door.

Along the way, I didn't meet a single person.

Chi Mo looked back subconsciously, the whole corridor was quiet, without any movement.

"This is it." Harry whispered, "Let's go in."

It was a huge cold room lined with towering shelves.

Every shelf is densely filled with dusty crystal balls, and there are small yellowish labels on the bottom.

Chi Mo looked curiously at these crystal balls that hadn't been touched for a long time. Some spheres had light flowing inside them, but most of them were blurry and dark, like light bulbs that had been extinguished.

The light in the hall was very dim and blurry.The candlesticks are embedded in the shelf at intervals, and the candles on them are not lit-fluorescent flicker is always a practical charm.

Harry looked at the codes on the shelf while looking for the purpose of this trip.

Hermione and Ron walked beside him from left to right, and Chi Mo followed behind them, looking at the room without an ambush and feeling sorry for the layout here.

The spirit snake was wrapped around Chi Mo's wrist, and he spat out the snake letter. Chi Mo seemed to glance at the southwest direction inadvertently. Someone was hiding there, so he didn't know which side it was.

Having said that, he always thought that the mysterious person who worked so hard to lure Harry over must have been standing there waiting for them to come to him, but he didn't even see a shadow of him—that kind of person is absolutely impossible to hide in the corner In here, I haven't seen him now, so I think he's really not here.

The mysterious man... Chi Mo looked down at the marble under his feet, really wanting to meet him soon.

"94...95..." Harry silently recited the rows of numbers, searching for the location of the mysterious man in that memory.

"Harry, it seems to have your name on it." Ron pointed to a certain crystal ball on a shelf, beckoning them to come and take a look.

Harry looked at the fairly bright crystal ball, reached out and took it off the shelf. "That's it. What the mysterious man wants."

"...someone with the power of the Dark Lord has approached... the Dark Lord marks him as a rival, but he has powers that the Dark Lord does not understand... Both cannot live..."

A hoarse and elderly woman's voice came from the prophecy ball in Harry's hand, carrying an indescribable sense of desolation and fate.

Two can only live one.

Harry twitched the corners of his mouth. He knew about this a long time ago.

"—"

In a quiet environment, any noise can attract people's attention, not to mention the undisguised rhythmic footsteps of people coming from the other end.

"I'm already here." Harry stepped forward, blocking the others behind him, "Where is the mysterious man? Where is the mysterious man?"

"You can't even tell the difference between reality and dreams?"

The visitor gradually approached, and finally stopped three meters away from Harry. His long platinum hair clearly told everyone the identity of the visitor.

Harry subconsciously clenched his wand, and the others were even more serious.

Chi Mo glanced at the distance between Lucius and Harry, it was too fake.

"You can only see what he wants you to see." Lucius raised his chin arrogantly, "Now, hand over the prophecy ball."

Harry opened his arms, led his companions back a step, and threatened, "If you dare to mess around, I'll smash it." After speaking, he raised the prophecy ball in his hand to show that he was serious.

"Hahahaha~" A shrill female voice came from behind Lucius, sneered, "He's pretty good at playing~"

Lucius didn't look back, but turned his head slightly, glanced at his former colleague from the corner of his eye, and didn't answer.

Bellatrix walked over step by step while playing with the wand in her hand, stared at Harry, and laughed nervously, "Oh~ baby~ you'd better be obedient~"

"Bellatrix Lestrange." Ron swallowed, and pronounced the notorious woman's name.

It was the first time that Chi Mo saw Regulus's cousin. Unlike the pampered Narcissa, Bellatrix had a haggard face and crazy eyes—I wondered if she was in AZ Life is not easy for Caban.

Hermione gasped, although she had a premonition when she came here that she would meet the Death Eaters, but seeing this woman, she still couldn't help getting cold hands and feet.

Lucius glanced at Bellatrix who walked up to him and stood still, and then at Harry who was holding the prophecy ball tightly, "Calm down, huh?" He tried his best to let the expression on his face see Be more sincere, "We just want that prophecy ball, which is very important to that lord, so don't shake your hands."

"Why does the mysterious man insist on letting me get it?" Harry suppressed the weird feeling in his heart, why did he feel that Lucius Malfoy really wanted to smash the prophecy ball...

"You dirty bastard!" Bellatrix glared at the guy who was insulting her most admired master, and raised her hand to give him a Cruciatus Curse.

Lucius pressed Bellatrix's wand and wrote lightly, "Relax, he's just curious, isn't he?" As he spoke, he even patiently answered Harry's question. "Only those mentioned in the prophecy can get it. Lucky for you, really. Haven't you ever wondered why there are those connections between you and the Dark Lord? Why are you just a baby , but he can’t kill you, don’t you want to know the secret of your scar? All the answers are in your hands, Potter.” His eyes slanted slightly to the lower left corner, “You just need, Leave it to me, and I'll tell you all."

Dumbledore has been keeping his savior secret so that the kid is ignorant of his own secrets, which is not what Lucius likes, in fact, he is more than happy to put a wedge between the two , and can easily sell favors to Harry Potter - no matter what the situation, it is always a good thing to have a little more bargaining chips.
