[HP] Seven Nights Talk

For this reason, Harry was very morose all Friday.Madam Pomfrey forbade him to go out, so he could only lie in bed until supper time.During this period, Lockhart came to apologize to Harry, but Harry felt that he would not have said a word without Dumbledore and McGonagall; The ability to adapt, said that Professor Flitwick could no longer find fault with his cutting curse (Harry blushed inwardly); as for Dumbledore, he seemed to know that Sirius told Harry everything, and didn't say anything.

Harry couldn't help wondering what Voldemort's definition of "let the Order of the Phoenix find" was.Does it mean that the Order of the Phoenix can't find it, or do you want the Order of the Phoenix to be the vanguard?After all, Death Eaters can't just show up right now, and Dementors are still floating in the sky, right?But there was only one question he wanted to know most - if it wasn't Voldemort who did it, then who else?

Considering that Voldemort already knew about the secret pusher, and the Order of the Phoenix still had to follow the Muggle clue that didn't know where it was, Harry felt that even if Voldemort didn't do this, he clearly didn't want the Order of the Phoenix to take the lead. machine.His most likely tendency was to procrastinate until he had time to deal with it - knowing that he had to stay at Hogwarts with him now, even if he knew where his opponent was.That is to say, Voldemort can't remotely control Nagini to do this, and when he solves it himself, he can certainly go with him.

The thought made Harry feel better.Because it meant that even if Voldemort didn't say anything at this time, sooner or later he would meet the guy who wanted his blood.There was nothing special about it, as long as he guarded Lockhart well and found time later.As for the current Lockhart, I'm afraid he has already been stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and it may not be easy to continue to attack him.

With this mentality in mind, Harry breathed a sigh of relief when he was discharged from the hospital.The Gryffindors welcomed their hero with great enthusiasm, and there was a lot of excitement for a while.Many Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs came to congratulate, only Slytherin didn't respond.

This is also easy to understand, because most of the people who want to harm Harry are from Voldemort's side, and most Death Eaters are from Slytherin.People like Malfoy, who already knew about the escape of the Death Eaters and the return of the Dark Lord, naturally didn't think it was such a good thing for Harry to escape from death.It gave them a feeling that those dangerous people had tried to get their hands inside Hogwarts.This time it was Harry, next time it was uncertain whether he would bring others - say a few Death Eater traitors - as well.

This time the Order of the Phoenix had the same idea as them.Because they don't know that Voldemort is with Harry now, so the whole thing - that someone negotiated with Lockhart through a Muggle, using his favorite reputation to lure him into helping - it's clearly targeted, especially The Death Eaters had just escaped from prison during summer vacation.No one but Voldemort.Dumbledore's office has hosted countless guests and held countless meetings in a recent day, and it is still going on.

"Does this mean that most of the Death Eaters have sneaked into the Muggle world? No wonder we haven't been able to find them!" said Moody, his ugly face was full of vigilance, and the blue magic eyes kept rolling. "We only sent people to the Leaky Cauldron, Gringotts and some wizarding places, but in the Muggle world..." They must not have enough people.

Dumbledore had already thought of that, and he didn't think the guess was right. "I've always paid attention to the Muggle newspapers. If they really escaped to the Muggle world, I don't think it will be so peaceful." He glanced at Moody who was about to say something, "And if they went out just to Better hiding, neither in the wizarding world nor in the Muggle world will make it easier for us to find."

"That's really..." Moody also knew he was telling the truth.But as a senior Auror, he couldn't keep his composure after a bunch of prisoners had escaped, and he wanted to grab them back and stuff them back in one by one.However, as Dumbledore said, the fact is that the Death Eaters slipped away from the layers of surveillance without anyone noticing, and they were never seen again.

"It's hard to say they did it now," said Dumbledore. "For almost two months, they hid it well. If they wanted to do it, they definitely wouldn't choose it when Harry just started school. It was obviously more difficult to do it at Hogwarts than at Privet Drive, yes wrong?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone present stared at Dumbledore.Because the subtext of these words was obvious, he even wondered if it was possible that the Death Eaters did this.Then it occurred to them that the Death Eaters had escaped on July [-]th, when Harry was indeed still on Privet Drive.It was obviously much easier to do it at that time.

A group of people thought about the consequences, and they all broke out in cold sweat. "Who could that be?" McGonagall asked, "or is it possible that they only found out they needed Harry's blood in the second half of the summer?"

A few people were nodding, and a few people were still looking at Dumbledore.

"Maybe it's possible," Dumbledore said simply. "But Lockhart got his first letter from the Muggle at the end of last term."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all saw the result they least wanted to see in each other's eyes.That means that both sides are premeditated, and the premeditated person is not the same.But how is this possible?Apart from Voldemort, who is likely to have returned, they have another opponent?

"Let's think about this carefully." Dumbledore stood up and pressed his hands on the table.Before him was the Pensieve, which he used throughout the day at his leisure. "Not from recent events, but from the previous two years - from Harry's arrival at Hogwarts."

Hearing what he said, everyone stopped talking and looked at him quietly.

"In the first year, a mouse was thrown on my plate, and it turned out that he was the one who betrayed James and Lily. And Quilomon, who was possessed by Voldemort, tricked me into entering the school. I believe he is right. Leigh was definitely up to no good, but he ended up dying himself in the room where we were protecting the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone was still there, but Voldemort was nowhere to be found. As for who threw the mouse, we don't know."

Some moved uneasily, obviously feeling bad about hearing a bunch of Voldemort's names.

But Dumbledore didn't care, and he went on. "In the second year, Harry was almost thrown under a spell during the Quidditch match; someone opened the Chamber of Secrets and took out the snake slough, and the basilisk ate up the acromantula that Hagrid raised. We Until now, we don’t know who wanted Harry to have an accident in the game, just like we don’t know if the Basilisk is still in this school.”

This time there were more disturbing voices.Moody folded his hands, with a very serious expression on his face; while Snape sat firmly in his place, with a flat and stiff expression on his face.

"And now it's the third year. Somebody outwitted the Dementors and let some Death Eaters out. We have to note that it was premeditated, because the escapees were obviously sort of screened. The strangest thing about having contacted Lockhart by letter before the summer break, and gradually gaining his trust, was to get him to help get Harry's blood. Now, why choose Lockhart."

"Maybe it's just because he's stupid?" Snape's lips moved slightly, and he said the first words since he entered the door. "It's easy to be fooled, and it's easy to do bad things." He said in a mocking tone.

Dumbledore glanced at him. "A good reason indeed. Any conclusions?"

"Only for the recent things, they really don't seem to be made by one person." Moody said thoughtfully, "If he has the strength to hide the dementors, there is no need for that person to rely on Luo Hart came to approach Harry. This not only means that there are two groups of forces, but also means that one side is obviously stronger than the other - that person chose Lockhart, not necessarily because he didn't know that Lockhart was unreliable, but because he no choice?"

The others looked at him with expressions on their faces that suggested they were all thinking too.Then McGonagall put forward her opinion on why no one attacked Harry during the summer vacation: "That is to say, the strong side didn't think about doing anything to Harry for the time being, and the weak side didn't have any manpower. And he doesn't want to go out?"

This guess is too reasonable, everyone nodded. "He didn't want to go out, maybe it was out of consideration for his own safety - he didn't want to expose his identity, or he was not sure of victory." Kingsley said.

Only Dumbledore didn't nod.Judging from yesterday's situation, Kingsley was undoubtedly right. Harry first used a flying spell and then a cutting spell, and his performance was not bad.But he always felt that wasn't the case—that weak opponent always gave him a strange feeling—he was avoiding Harry (Lockhart went to Muggles to wizards, and there might be others behind) Yes, this link seems a bit too complicated), and Harry's blood has to be needed.

But is this possible?Why should he be afraid of Harry?And which of the two is Voldemort?

"In any case, what we should do is still to be done." Dumbledore said, not telling everyone his own conjecture. "Now that the Death Eaters have come out, it is certainly impossible for them to really leave the wizarding world. Maybe in a short time, maybe in the future, they will always show their tracks, and they can't hide forever." Then he turned his head and asked Snape : "Any news from you, Severus?"

Everyone's eyes turned in unison.Snape still kept that rigid expression, and replied dryly: "No, except for a group of former Death Eaters who are almost turning into ants on a hot pot."

The Order of the Phoenix felt that these things must have been done by Voldemort. Could it be that the Death Eaters would not recognize this style of doing things?To do it secretly, quietly, to make everyone else feel the danger of impending doom... Who else but Voldemort?The unsummoned Death Eaters were even more dangerous than the Order of the Phoenix—traitor was a word he hated more than enemy to the Dark Lord.

Although no one had come to a conclusion yet, Snape felt that it was Voldemort who would come up with the idea of ​​throwing Peter on Dumbledore's plate.So is trying to make the savior fall to his death, so is the snake slough, and so is the jailbreak.Only the last point is not easy to explain. If the Dark Lord can already reach into the school's secret room, why should Lockhart do it?Who is that extra person?

Looking at his expressionless face, Dumbledore sighed softly in his heart.It doesn't matter which is Voldemort, but there is no doubt that he has not played his cards the way he used to.Even Malfoy was left out, and he couldn't really blame Snape for not getting information. "There is at least one thing we can do to protect Harry." When he said this, he paused. "Sirius said before he left that he wasn't going to sign Harry's application to go to Hogsmeade. If he had been at school, I don't think Lockhart would have had any more accidents."

Mag opened his mouth, feeling a little relieved.Harry is in the third year this year, and it is indeed time for him to go to Hogsmeade.Sirius was thoughtful, she had to admit.

At the same time, a cape thousands of miles away.

A man wearing a black hooded wizard robe was standing on it, and the night wind blew his hunting robe legs, revealing a pair of sharp lips. "Idiots, a bunch of idiots!" he hissed.But no one else heard it, the sound was drowned out by the crash of the surf against the shore. "But it's okay, there must be a way, and there is a way..." He clenched his hands unconsciously while muttering.The light from the lighthouse in the distance swept across the sea, some of it was reflected, and passed by in a flash.For a brief moment, his figure was reflected, as well as a thick gold ring on his finger.The black gemstone inlaid on it is shiny and smooth, shining like a mirror, and some lines are faintly visible inside.
