The Admiral of Hogwarts

This discovery of the Devil's Snare earned Hugo a few Fate Points, which was a small gain for him. The return of Mr. Weasley the next day made the atmosphere at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters instantly cheerful.

"Healed!" That morning, while everyone was having breakfast, Mr. Weasley, wearing striped pajamas and a raincoat, announced excitedly to the entire kitchen, "Completely healed!"

"That's really good news, Arthur," Sirius said with a smile. "It's so good to see you safe and sound. We don't have to worry anymore."

"Indeed!" Mrs. Weasley led her husband to a chair. "But we must also thank the members of the Mutual Aid Association and Mr. Granger. If it weren't for them, you might not have been so lucky."

"Yes, that must be thanked," Mr. Weasley nodded solemnly, because for wizards, the kindness of saving a life is a very important interpersonal relationship.

According to the history of the wizarding world, if a wizard saves the life of another wizard, then there is a certain connection between them, and the saved person will also owe the savior a favor in the dark.

According to Dumbledore, this is the highest and most unfathomable realm of magic, and the savior will one day be very happy for this rescue.

"It's nothing. After all, we chose to cooperate and face a common enemy, so doing these things now is what we should do," Hugo said with a smile.

Because of Mr. Weasley's discharge from the hospital, the atmosphere at Grimmauld Place, Number 12, suddenly improved a lot. At least the Weasley children seemed much more excited than before.

In this happy atmosphere, Hugo and his team's work efficiency also greatly increased. For example, he used the time leading up to Christmas to complete the first improvement of the magic array board.

Compared to the original array board, the new product adopted a modular assembly method, so that in the event of an emergency, more complete parts could be retained to provide more lasting protection.

Although the level of protection after being destroyed and rebuilt would be worse, and it might not have the corresponding effect when facing the enemy, it could still increase the user's chances of survival by a tiny amount.

After all, on the battlefield, sometimes the difference between life and death is just that extremely small difference between a second and an action, so any optimization is valuable.

In addition, Hugo also took the time to go to the Hood family and spent his five Fate Points to summon the cruiser ship girl Hood, as well as the destroyer ship girls Starling and Guardsman.

"We have repeatedly engaged in firefights with the Dark Lord's subordinates throughout continental Europe," Hood said seriously, looking at Hugo. "However, because most of our people are not on Earth now, we can only dare to launch harassing attacks under the premise of defense."

"That's enough. After all, the construction of outer space colonies is very important to us, and it concerns our future. So, unless it's an emergency, we don't need to interrupt the construction of the space station," Hugo nodded.

"So in the next war, we only need to maintain the current state and continue to launch containment attacks. I believe this should cause great trouble for the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters."

Obviously, Sirius was also aware of this containment offensive, so on the last day of the holiday, Sirius, on behalf of the Order of the Phoenix, expressed his gratitude to Hugo very solemnly.

"Thank you very much for your help. At least now the Dark Lord can't gather enough strength to launch a strong search against us, and the progress of the other party's accumulation of power is at least one-fifth slower than the last war."

"As allies, this is what we should do," Hugo said, looking at Sirius. "But the Mutual Aid Association asked me to tell you that if you continue to be in this state, what we are doing is only delaying their progress."

"Even if we hold back the other party, the power of the Death Eaters is still growing day by day. If you can't take more active actions to launch a full-scale war, the Mutual Aid Association may soon lose the ability to take the initiative in attacking."

"I understand your difficulties, so you only need to notify us before stopping the attack," Sirius pursed his lips. According to Dumbledore's intelligence, the Mutual Aid Association also has a lot to protect, so their mobile forces are limited.

Under this circumstance, even Dumbledore would not think that the small-scale raids that the Mutual Aid Association has recently launched against the Death Eaters throughout continental Europe can last too long.

"Don't worry, although the Mutual Aid Association's strength is not very strong, it will definitely not sell out its allies, so even if we can't attack, the exchange of information and materials will continue and will not stop because of this," Hugo said in a firm tone.

After discussing these important matters, the two left the room and prepared to go downstairs, but they saw Snape in the corridor, who was about to go out.

Although Sirius was a little unhappy that Snape appeared at home, Snape was already at the door preparing to leave, so he didn't have the idea of ​​mocking the other party at the door.

Moreover, Harry was walking out of the kitchen with an ugly face at this time, so Sirius now felt that it was more important to figure out what happened to his godson.

"What did you say? That Snivellus will teach you Occlumency every Monday night at 6 o'clock!" After hearing Harry's words, Sirius stood up abruptly. "No, I'm going to talk to Dumbledore."

"Sirius, don't!" Harry grabbed Sirius and said, "You know that my mind sometimes connects with Voldemort, which is very dangerous, so protecting my mind is not wrong."

"But you can't find Snape as a teacher! You know his terrible attitude. What if he takes this opportunity to clean you up?" Sirius showed a worried look like an old father.

"But he is the only teacher who can teach me now," Harry shrugged with a bitter face. "After all, there are not many people who are good at this magic, and Headmaster Dumbledore is usually very busy."

"Okay, you're right." After hearing Harry's words, Sirius leaned helplessly on the chair and sighed. "If he deliberately torments you, just write me a letter and I will help you get justice."

"Really?" Ron said vaguely with chicken in his mouth after hearing the news while everyone was eating the last dinner of the holiday. "I think tutoring with Snape is more dangerous."

"Being hated is better than losing your life," Hermione offered a contrasting point of view. "Don't forget that this connection may be two-way. No matter how evil the Dark Lord is, we must admit that his magic is one of the best in the world."

"In this situation, Harry is at a clear disadvantage. Even if Harry and the Dark Lord's brain connection have taken a little advantage these two times, it is absolutely impossible to always take it. What if the Dark Lord seizes the opportunity one day—."

"I know, since this is what Headmaster Dumbledore wants, I will go to study," Harry said with a serious look at his companions. "Even if Snape and I can't wait to kill each other."
