[HP] Seven Nights Talk

For the rest of the summer vacation, Harry spent every day figuring out his plans, and Voldemort didn't bother with him about the crushed leg.He thought it was impossible for Voldemort not to see his performance, and that the other party's lack of reaction to this must be due to the follow-up to the Death Eater escape.

Alright, alright, let them all see who will win this time.

Because of the deal with Kreacher, Harry was able to get some news about the Phoenix meeting every time.Although not enough, but combined with the inside information he himself knew, it can be deduced close to the truth.

The first is the attitude of the Minister of Magic.Harry had no doubts, with Fudge's tight attitude towards the position of Minister, he would never announce this matter immediately - so many Death Eaters ran out at once, enough for him to take the blame and resign.The degree of secrecy of this matter is not even known to the staff of the Ministry of Magic.

Then there's the attitude of the Order of the Phoenix.Listening to Kreacher's recitation, Harry found that the Order of the Phoenix was also divided into two factions.One faction firmly believes that the facts should be announced to the public, so as to raise everyone's awareness of prevention, thereby better catching criminals and reducing possible dangers; In line with their personalities, they might just wait for the Order of the Phoenix or the Ministry of Magic to announce the news and create white terror for them in advance, so they should attack in secret first, and count as many as they catch.This debate has not yet reached a definite conclusion, so the meeting has never stopped, but now every day, members of the Order of the Phoenix are secretly looking for clues.

In the end it is how this happened.There was no doubt that someone had managed to sneak into the prison without the guards of Azkaban; but no one knew how, since the Dementors hadn't spotted the intruder at all.If this was done by one person, it could also be explained as his strength; but what about those Death Eaters who went out?Why wasn't it discovered during the process of leaving?

This is exactly the argument of the latter faction of the Order of the Phoenix.If even the dementors can't find the escaped person, it means that it is not easy for them to find them.Announcing the news is to better solve the problem, not to send more people into a panic, which is bad for their morale and completely counterproductive.

Harry didn't know what method Voldemort had taken, but he had to admit that the others were right to be concerned.Because of this safety consideration, he was placed in Grimmauld Square for the rest of the summer vacation, and he had to report or be accompanied wherever he wanted to go.Sirius had tipped him a little bit about this, but he didn't know that Harry already knew more.

This trouble is not the biggest problem.Since the establishment of Azkaban, there had never been such a major omission, and the guarding dementors were all angry.Although Fudge ordered them not to leave the prison to find escaped Death Eaters, it was clear that his prestige was not enough.There are still many dementors floating high in the sky, making Xia Tian also full of gloomy clouds.People have speculated that there is a problem within the Ministry of Magic, they just haven't thought of such a big problem.

When Harry boarded the Hogwarts Express again, the sky was still pitch black.It was a collection of dementors, and they usually patrolled the entire British Isles within a day, and the places they passed were bleak and windy.Ron and Hermione didn't know about the escape, so they quickly moved from the weird cold wind to other places.

"Enough is enough, Lockhart let us buy so many books this year." Ron was very upset.You must know that their family is struggling financially, Lockhart's books are very expensive, and there are many children in their family, which adds up to death. "Didn't You-Know-Who put a curse on that position that no one could be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for more than a year? What's going on with Lockhart?"

Hermione understood his situation very well, and it was rare that she didn't strongly refute him. "That's just a legend," she said reassuringly. "Everyone says so, but no one knows how it started to spread."

"The only thing I regret now is that I didn't learn one more Transfiguration last school year, just like Harry did." Ron continued angrily, "Just a few beans... then I don't have to buy these .”

"Your mother won't approve." Harry reminded him of this.Although he felt that Lockhart's matter did not make much sense, maybe Voldemort suddenly changed his mind?

If Voldemort had noticed the idea, he would have denied it.He has never been so noble, and he has never let it go so easily.In fact, he didn't think it was normal - he thought the final exam last year was the last time they saw that annoying vase?Hua Vase didn't have any accidents during the summer vacation, and he didn't take the initiative to resign - he thought it was quite strange.

As if to test his doubts, when Harry was looking at the sky outside through the window, there was a commotion from the corridor of the train.The three turned their heads together, just in time to see the crowd passing by outside the glass of the carriage door.Lockhart was surrounded by a group of girls, no matter in terms of facial expressions or body movements, he didn't seem to have changed at all, just like he always did.

"Oh, it's useful to have a good face, isn't it?" Ron sarcastically said.

And Hermione thought of something else. "Why does he take the train with us? Doesn't he stay at the castle all summer?"

"Isn't that natural?" said Ron. "He needs book signings, he needs fan meetings, he needs to go around saving the world...Hogwarts can't satisfy his desire to show off. So why on earth hasn't he quit? Woolen cloth?"

Harry craned his neck slightly to look out, ignoring Ron's complaints.He wanted to know why, and he didn't want to ask Voldemort about it, so he was trying to find some possible loopholes.

Voldemort in his pocket would presumably make the same move if the circumstances were right.No one knew better than himself the curse of the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, so it was the most abnormal thing in itself for Lockhart to look as normal as he had ever been.

...what went wrong?

Lockhart himself felt as good about himself as ever.He happily told the students around him how he used his personal charm to conquer his admirers in the Muggle world during the summer vacation, and let them be convinced to use him.As for the strange things that happened in the last school year, he already has some clues, and it will take a little more time to get to the bottom of it.

But he didn't say that these are the conditions for him to exchange with a person.He promised to help the other party get a drop of Harry's blood, and then complete an extremely simple magic, and the other party told him the whole story.Naturally, in his mind, this is the content of "How Lockhart Saved Hogwarts". The finishing work only needs to be forgotten, so why not do it?The other party is still a Muggle, and he has never encountered such an easy party to deal with since he became famous!

With Lockhart's mind, he couldn't imagine why a Muggle would know about things in the wizarding world and those legends, and in the end he could use a secret that few wizards knew about to make a loss-making deal with him.

Anyway, in the eyes of the vast majority of students, Lockhart's image has been restored a little bit. You must know that he is indeed the only person who can be re-elected as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for decades.Other professors had mixed reactions to this result.Most of them felt very complicated. On the one hand, Lockhart was too capable of tossing around, and on the other hand, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor should have had enough.Snape's face was dark, while Professor Dumbledore's expression seemed more meaningful, although he didn't say anything special.

Other than that, the atmosphere around the long dinner table was fairly normal.Because of the reason why the escaped Death Eaters have remained silent until now, the job of keeping it secret is easy to do, at least most of them seem to be quite normal.Harry has now become a key protection target, so he has been informed of some situations; and he now finds that, in addition to the members of the Order of the Phoenix who knew about it, the people who are worried have to count the Death Eaters who once betrayed Voldemort——Della Co Malfoy's pointed face was almost completely pale, and it remained so throughout the dinner.

Harry's mind was spinning rapidly.Yes, that's right, even if Voldemort abandoned the Malfoy family and didn't bother to tell him about it, old Malfoy could still rely on connections to know from his acquaintances in the Ministry of Magic that all his old friends who were imprisoned have now come out up.This is nothing less than a disaster for the Malfoy family-Lucius once found an excuse to get himself out of prison, and the truly die-hard Death Eaters would never look at his deeds-Harry also clearly Remember, Bellatrix's disdainful attitude towards the Malfoy family before, and declared that willingness to sit in Azkaban for the Dark Lord for a lifetime is the qualification standard for a Death Eater.

Before seeing Voldemort, he had to deal with a large number of angry accomplices. No one who was old Malfoy would think that the situation was so optimistic.Harry felt that he understood the current situation of the Malfoy family very well, which also explained Draco's current behavior very well.

Harry spent the rest of the dinner pondering what the Death Eaters might be doing, and not even Hagrid's taking over as Professor of Care of Magical Creatures had been able to get his attention back.He felt that this must have been expected by Voldemort, because he didn't think that the current Voldemort would make it easier for those who betrayed him-not to mention the question of whether it was or not, old Malfoy this time put the diary in front of Voldemort. In Ni's cauldron, the intention to draw a clear line couldn't be more obvious.But then again, the role of the Death Eaters should be more than that, right?
