Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 437

By 11:30, when there was no one else in the common room, Hermione yawned and walked towards them.

She sat next to Ivan, looked at the book in his hand, and knew that it was taken out of the Black family library.

Driven by Aiwen, she now also started to read these magic books.

Hermione hesitated for a while, then turned to look at Ron, and tried to say, "It's time for bed, are you almost done with your homework?"

"No." Ron said angrily.

"Well, the largest satellite of Jupiter is Ganymede, not Callisto!" She leaned out, pointing to a line of text in his astronomy paper from behind Ron, "Also, the one with volcanoes should be Ganymede one."

"Thank you," said Ron fiercely, crossing out the misspelled sentence.

"I'm sorry, I just..." Hermione seemed to want to apologize for yesterday's Quidditch incident.

"Yeah, if you're only here to find fault!"

"You know, I'm not, I'm... God, Sirius!" Hermione exclaimed in surprise, watching Sirius' head suddenly appear from the flames in the fireplace.

Chapter 960 Information about Sirius

Following Hermione's gaze, Ivan, Harry, and Ron turned their heads to look at the fireplace, and there was nothing in it except the flames.

"Did you see Sirius?" Harry asked.

Immediately, he slid off the chair and knelt on the ground, bent over the scorched and frayed carpet in front of the fireplace, staring straight at the flames.

"Yes, I saw Sirius' head in the fire just now!" Hermione assured.

"But there's nothing..."

"He should come out in a while, remember the letter from Friday?" Ivan analyzed, "I've been thinking that Sirius probably wants to meet us, and that letter is a signal..."

"I thought you'd figured this out a long time ago!" Sirius' voice came from the fireplace.

In the middle of the dancing flames loomed his head, with long black hair hanging down around his smiling face.

"Sirius!" Harry exclaimed delightedly.

"How are you, Harry?" said Sirius in a cheerful voice. "I haven't seen you in half a year, and you seem to have grown a little taller. In fact, I've been coming every hour since Friday night, and I don't want to Others found me appearing in the fireplace of the school to meet you..."

On Friday, the Gryffindor common room had a lot of fun as Ron joined the Quidditch team.

Last night, because of Ron's poor performance in training, everyone lost interest and went to bed early.

Therefore, everyone did not find Sirius in the fireplace.

"I should have thought earlier, you certainly wouldn't write us a letter for no reason," said Harry suddenly.

"I thought you would notice, I also left a code on the letter."

"We didn't find out!"

"So, the four of you are still far behind, and you have a lot to learn..." Sirius said with a smile.

"Wait, Sirius, Mad-Eye said that Hogwarts is under surveillance, you shouldn't be here, if the Ministry of Magic finds out..." Hermione said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I don't think they've had time to monitor this fireplace yet."

"But what if you're seen?" Hermione was unimpressed.

"Yeah, I think there was a girl just now. Looking at her, she seems to be a first-year freshman. She probably saw me!"

"It's Kate, she came over to talk to Ivan just now."

"She shouldn't have noticed you, or she would have said it." Ivan said hurriedly, not noticing Hermione's expression.

"That's right, when she looked back, I was gone. I'm sure she thought I was just a piece of oddly shaped wood." Sirius said triumphantly, "I move very quickly."

"It's not a matter of moving fast or not, it's too risky!" Hermione insisted.

"Oh, Hermione, you talk like Molly, she keeps telling me to watch out for this, watch out for that!" Sirius said in a disapproving tone, "Don't worry about it, I just want to be careful when things get worse." See you before it gets worse."

"Things got worse?" Ivan frowned at him, "What the hell are you doing in Norway?"

"It's a long story, but it's mainly about the troublesome things about those vampires." Sirius said, his expression gradually becoming serious, "Except for those who have missions and cannot leave, most of the members of the Order of the Phoenix in Europe are concentrated here, even Dumbledore Lido is here too!"

"Impossible, I saw the principal in the auditorium when I was having dinner on Friday." Ron said in surprise.

"For a wizard like him, long-distance travel is not difficult, it may only take a few minutes." Sirius said, "Of course, from the outside world, he is still at Hogwarts."

"What happened to those vampires?" Harry asked. "Is it something to do with Voldemort?"

"Oh, how should I say, I spent several months here to figure out what's going on." Sirius explained, "You four should know that those vampires are different from other clans, they are Sara The descendant of Chuck Slytherin, probably more than 1000 years ago, the old lunatic left Hogwarts alone, carrying something terrible with him, he traveled all the way in Europe, and finally died in this country, taking that piece The thing stayed, and his descendants also stayed here to protect it, that thing itself has great power and is very dangerous..."

"What is that thing?" Ivan asked, this is probably the trouble Keresis and Elaine were talking about.

"I don't know. Those vampires don't trust us. The information I got is not complete. In many places, we can only rely on our own reasoning." Sirius said, slightly raised his head and looked at Aiwen, "According to the current information, that This thing should be related to the evil god you have seen. Dumbledore believes that no matter what it is, Voldemort wants to get it to make his power stronger, and he has made some progress. Here, we have to stop him."

It is hard to imagine that the first confrontation between the Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort took place in the faraway country of Northern Europe.

"This kind of thing is not as simple as two groups of people getting together and fighting. The trouble with the current situation lies in the chaotic situation here. In addition to Voldemort and his Death Eaters, the vampire clan is also divided into different groups. Factions, their opinions are not unified." Sirius continued, "Besides, this is Durmstrang's traditional sphere of influence, and those who advocate black magic are not necessarily our allies. , those natives of the Nordic region, the local primitive magical creatures..."

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked. "Fantastic Beasts?"

"It's not a magical animal, but a magical species with wisdom and civilization like the centaur. They maintain a rather primitive living habit and attack the wizards they see without hesitation. We had a fight with them yesterday. " Sirius said, "This is not the most troublesome thing, Dumbledore is worried about something that Grindelwald left here, and as things progressed, we discovered that Grindelwald was in a few I had contact with those vampires ten years ago. You know, that guy was once a dark wizard even worse than Voldemort, and no one knows how Dumbledore defeated him."

Although I don't know the specific situation in Sirius, but so many forces gather together, it's scary to think about it, Durmstrang, vampires, unfriendly magic species, Voldemort and Death Eaters, evil gods, and Grindel fertile……

When these are put together, it is conceivable that the area where Sirius is located should be a mess!

Chapter 961 Fighting Training

Aiwen is thinking about what Sirius said. There is a lot of information here. Is there any connection between vampires, evil gods and Grindelwald?

Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts thousands of years ago, and he carried with him a very powerful thing. Ivan doesn't know anything else. It can be confirmed but it is not known that the double snake rod and the evil god are there. brain and body...

No matter which one it is, it is very important. Among them, Ivan feels that it is very likely to be part of that evil god.

Voldemort already has a statue of the evil god in his hands, let him get a part of the evil god's body...

Aiwen didn't dare to think about it anymore. He felt that it was necessary to go to Norway. Once the situation changed, he would quickly intervene.

Also, Elaine has had no contact since last semester's last farewell letter.

That girl doesn't know what's going on, isn't there some accident?

Beside the fireplace, Harry and Hermione asked a few more questions, and Sirius seemed a little impatient to answer them one by one.

"Okay, leave me alone, how did you four help with things far away in Norway, and I will inform you in time if there is any information." Sirius said, smiling again, "How are you doing here? What do you want to tell me?"

Indeed, since the summer vacation, they had too many things to say to Sirius.

Although they wrote a lot on the stationery through several letters, they still had a lot to tell Sirius face to face.

Especially Harry, he was really wronged this summer vacation, he stayed alone in the Dursleys, no one contacted him, he didn't know the information of the wizarding world, he was attacked by dementors, and the terrible Public opinion and everyone's reaction since the start of school.

Harry wanted to tell Sirius, tell his godfather.

However, he swallowed the words again, thinking that he was in such a dangerous place, and he couldn't do anything to help him, let alone talk about these troublesome things with him.

"Harry's scar!" When Harry hesitated, Hermione said directly, "Just a few days ago, when Umbridge touched him, his scar suddenly hurt, and we are all worried about it. worried."

"Harry, is your scar hurting again?"

"Yeah, Dumbledore and Ivan both said that whenever Voldemort has a strong mood swing, my scar hurts!" Harry said, "So, the night I was in confinement, he probably happened to be, er , maybe he was very angry or something."

"This may be a coincidence!" Ivan added.

"Maybe!" said Sirius. "Now that he's back, the scar will definitely ache more often..."

"So you don't think it has anything to do with her touching me when I was in detention at Umbridge's?" Harry asked.

"Not sure!" said Sirius. "I know her because of her popularity. I don't believe she is a Death Eater."

"She's so bad that she's fully qualified to be a Death Eater," said Harry sullenly.

"Yes, but there are not only good people and Death Eaters in the world." Sirius said with a wry smile, "You don't have to bother to verify anything, he should have nothing to do with Voldemort. Yes, I know she is a nasty guy , you should have heard what Remus had to say about her."

"Lupine knew her, too?" Harry asked quickly, remembering Umbridge's comment in class about dangerous half-humans.

"No," said Sirius, "but Umbridge drafted an anti-werewolf law a few years ago that made it almost impossible for Lupine to get a job, just before he taught at Hogwarts, so he It takes a while to be so poor."

"En!" Several people remembered Lupine's appearance at that time, and their disgust towards Umbridge deepened.

"What's she got against werewolves?" said Hermione angrily.

"I think I'm afraid of them," said Sirius, smiling at Hermione's angry look. "Obviously, she hates half-humans and half-beasts, and last year she was running around lobbying to keep the mermen together and hang them up." Sign. By the way, how was her class? Did she train you all to kill half-humans?"

"Forget it, she won't let us use magic at all!"

"We just read that boring textbook," said Ron, "and copy it down."

"Ah, that's not surprising." Sirius said, "I can tell you one more piece of information. The Order of the Phoenix got information from within the Ministry of Magic that Fudge doesn't want you to have combat training."

"Fighting training!" said Harry in disbelief. "What does he think we're doing, raising an army of wizards?"

"That's exactly what he thought you were doing!" said Sirius.

"The few of us did learn magic with Aiwen, but this is not combat training, and it has nothing to do with the army."

"We are currently learning basic defense techniques, which are not considered combat training at all." Aiwen said, "However, I plan to pass on the Auror knowledge and combat training content you taught me to me in a while." Everyone, help them improve their strength."

"Well, I have no problem with that. In fact, I think you should learn a little more magic. If it weren't for coming to this place, I was going to take you guys on an adventure last summer." Sirius said, " But not everyone thinks it's a good thing, that's what Fudge thinks now, or to be more precise, that's exactly what he's afraid Dumbledore is doing, organizing a secret army of his own that can then be used It took on the Ministry of Magic."

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment.

"He is simply crazy, how can a normal person think so."

"I've never heard anything so stupid, not even Luna's crazy stuff," said Ron.

"I finally understand what's going on, so we're not allowed to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts just because Fudge is afraid we'll use spells against the Ministry of Magic?" said Hermione, looking annoyed. .

"Yeah!" Sirius said, "Fudge thinks that Dumbledore will do whatever it takes to usurp the throne, and his suspicion of Dumbledore is getting more and more serious every day. I can be sure that if this continues, one day he will fabricate something that is unnecessary." Dumbledore was arrested on charges."

There was another moment of silence, they knew more from Sirius, Fudge did look crazy!

"So, the four of you must pay attention at Hogwarts. My suggestion is that it is best not to confront Umbridge head-on, let alone be caught by her. But it's a good idea to learn magic with Aiwen , you can continue, if you need any help, you can tell me..."

Chapter 962 Recruitment and Confinement

Fudge, Sirius, was worried that the information that the students were training in combat made several people very angry, and at the same time made them more concerned about learning magic from Ivan, especially Hermione, who was already thinking about this Now that they heard Sirius' prompt, they simply proposed to form an army.

Since this is what the Ministry of Magic fears the most, they want to do the opposite.

Even if they are discovered and expelled by the Ministry of Magic because of this, they will not hesitate to fight against the Ministry of Magic to the end.

In the words of Sirius, it is better to be expelled in self-defense than to sit safely in school with your eyes in the dark.

The war had started the moment Voldemort returned, and they couldn't just stay at Hogwarts and do nothing.

Because you have to be ready to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters at any time, practicing fighting and improving your strength have become more important than studying and taking exams.

It had to be said that it was quite surprising that such words came out of Hermione's mouth.

And once she becomes passionate and decides to do something, or thinks her reasons are correct, then she will absolutely follow through to the end and will never give up, no matter how many school rules this will violate, Hermione doesn't care.

It's like no matter how busy she is now, she spends time in the kitchen every week to instill in the house-elves the ideas of the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association SPEW. In fact, no one listens to her except Dobby, but she still doesn't give up.

If it weren't for Aiwen's persuasion, Hermione would have planned to sew clothes for the house elves as gifts...

Since it is necessary to form an army for combat training, the first thing to bear the brunt is "recruitment".

With their current scale, they can't do it, and they can't post notices directly. Ivan and Hermione studied it and decided to adopt a recommendation system to develop members.

That is to say, everyone looks for someone who recommends someone they think is reliable, tells him about it, and develops in secret.

Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. They decided to call everyone to discuss it first.

Aiwen has no objection to this, he originally wanted to form such an organization.

Before the start of the war, help everyone to improve their strength as much as possible. Although it may be a bit too fast and unsafe to directly recruit people from the entire school, he also does not have much time to advance step by step.

The information brought by Sirius let Aiwen know that the situation with the vampires was already very unstable.

Although Dumbledore was there, Voldemort was also there, and no one knew what would happen.

Once the situation changes, Ivan must intervene as soon as possible, which means that he may leave the school at any time.

With Hermione's efforts, the first draft of the plan and regulations for this matter was drawn up.

The time for the first meeting was finally determined on the day they first went to Hogsmeade, and the venue was chosen in the dirty tavern "The Pig's Head Bar". Hermione thought it was relatively deserted and there were not many people. Wen has no comments.
