Chapter 289：

The most unpopular headmaster at Hogwarts, Phineas Nigellus Black, spoke up.

Dumbledore came back to his senses, "You mean the third dream?"

Harry had three dreams in total.

The first dream was just a young boy's youthful throbbing, and the second dream was about Arthur Weasley's attack.

The third one is also the strangest one.

Harry felt as if he was being forcibly pulled over, like two dreams competing for each other.

"You know the identity of that Silver Mask." Phineas said with some pride, "He is indeed a very proud person."

"His appearance means that he is related to that person."

"I think I know, but this makes me even more delighted." Dumbledore's half-moon lenses shone with light.

"He's still doing the right thing," Dumbledore said. "He's getting something, just like he did in his second year."

The diary that John and Harry had destroyed in second grade still lay in the drawer.

Dumbledore felt that it was time for him to talk to John.

Not with Johnny Silverhand, but with John Wick.

…

John returns to Hogwarts.

He saw that his room was filled with gifts.

This scene was already familiar to him, so he rummaged around.

Fleur sent a bottle of women's perfume, leaving John confused.

Putting the perfume aside, he opened the broomstick maintenance tools Malfoy sent.

Cedric seemed to think that John really liked the small handbag and sent him a new small handbag. Also comes with a women's size.

Astoria also sent something, a photo of her crying and traveling in Finland.

It seemed that Mr. Greengrass was not very happy either. Only Mrs. Greengrass was very happy.

They looked like they were traveling in a hurry.

Daphne sent a pen that looked handmade.

The style looks somewhat similar to what John made before.

John frowned as the gifts were opened one by one.

"Uncle, they didn't send it?"

This year my uncle didn’t send any gifts, as if he was waiting for John’s reply.

"Do you need to face your own bloodline?"

John pondered for a while, then Malfoy knocked on the door and called him out.

There was nothing wrong with Malfoy, just something about their planning.

Goyle and Crabbe didn't go back either.

They were assigned a mission, so naturally they didn't dare to go back until they achieved their goals.

Pansy ran in a hurry, as if she was afraid of someone chasing her.

Even her little boyfriend who stayed in the castle for Christmas couldn't keep her.

…

The school is very quiet this year, probably because the Weasley family has left.

John emerged from the Black Lake, and the cold wind blew through the water stains in his hair, forming a layer of frost.

The water evaporated, and John failed to communicate with the big octopus again.

He had a vague guess that maybe the big octopus was the spirit of the black lake.

After walking out of the Black Lake, John headed to the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid didn't stay at the house for Christmas, which made John suspicious.

"Hagrid always runs to the Forbidden Forest." He frowned.

Hagrid also ran to the Forbidden Forest before, but not so frequently.

I go in almost every day.

John had promised Hagrid not to explore, so he had to put away his curiosity.

After feeding Zuowu, prepare to go to Hogsmeade.

I don’t know why Daphne suddenly had the idea to invite herself to the teahouse in Hogsmeade.

He came to the gate of the castle and saw the graceful Daphne.

Daphne smiled, and John walked side by side with her.

Arriving at Hogsmeade, John also met Cedric.

He was with Qiu Zhang. The two of them were holding hands and looked very sweet.

John turned his head and saw Daphne looking at his hand, seemingly troubled.

"John, Merry Christmas."

Neville waved his hands happily. Beside him were the Longbottoms.

He trotted over and said, "My parents want to go to Hogsmeade again, so we are going to spend Christmas in Hogsmeade."

As he spoke, he came closer and whispered: "Harry dreamed that Ron's father was attacked."

"Harry said..." Neville hesitated: "He attacked Ron's father."

"I understand." John nodded, seemingly because of the influence of the Horcrux.

As Voldemort's seventh Horcrux, Harry is undoubtedly the most special one among them all.

He is not under Voldemort's control, but he will be influenced by Voldemort in a subtle way.

Neville talked with John for a while and then left with his parents.

John took Daphne, who was full of expectations, to the teahouse.

Even though it’s Christmas, this place is still very popular with young couples.

Before entering the door, John saw Cedric and Qiu Zhang.

Daphne plucked up the courage to take John's hand.

At this moment, John frowned.

"Daphne, I'm afraid I can't go shopping with you anymore."

He stopped and stared at the black owl falling slowly from the sky.

Daphne's joyful heart gradually cooled down as she watched John take the letter from the owl's mouth.

She suppressed her disappointment and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just wanted to come over and have a look."

John nodded, walked a few steps and turned back.

"To you, Merry Christmas."

Taking out a gift from the small bag, John placed it in Daphne's hands.

Daphne's originally disappointed expression turned into joy again, and she watched John leave.

She held the gift with a sweet look on her face.

She didn't even notice the strong gossip in the eyes of Qiu Zhang and Cedric behind her.

…

John left in a hurry for a reason.

The Death Eaters are on the move.

It has been a long time since the Death Eaters last attacked the American branch, and this time the action took place in Knockturn Alley.

The security team found Death Eaters, and they all had photos of Death Eaters.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been locked up for so long that I can’t keep up with the times when I come out.

The Death Eater actually thought this was the Knockturn Alley from before.

John came to the office through apparation. Tang Mi was waiting here and said respectfully: "They found traces of Death Eaters. They seem to have discovered the gardener."

"If Voldemort finds out that his dear believer is not dead," John raised his lips and joked: "It seems that he wants to save people."

"What was the gardener's reaction?" John asked.

Tang Mi thought for a while and said, "He didn't have any special reaction."

John once planted a spiritual seed for little Barty. Voldemort did not come to look for him for a long time, allowing little Barty's seed to continue to grow.

Now that I have seen the Death Eaters, there is not much fluctuation.

"Death Eaters will not act openly, we can create opportunities for them."

John knew that the Death Eaters were now rats in the gutter, and they could not see the light of day.

Let alone take little Barty away in broad daylight.

All that can be done is to move secretly.

And this matter, John has been waiting for a long time.

The only thing he has to worry about now is whether Voldemort will come in person.

Little Barty is so important.

Not only an important combat force.

More importantly, it is his father, Old Batty.

Barty Crouch Sr. now has tremendous power as Minister of Magic.

And this power is still growing. Taking away his son Barty Jr. can be used to threaten Barty Old.

"Issuing a reward order, this time the price will be doubled."

John directly doubled the Death Eater's bounty and summoned the Star Disciples.

As long as Voldemort comes, he will be counterattacked by this force.

If you don’t dare to come, then the seed will completely sprout.

John narrowed his eyes, "Let me see what Voldemort can do."

He began to consider whether to reveal it to the Order of the Phoenix.

The idea only appeared for three seconds before he gave it up.

Now is not the time, not many Death Eaters will come to Knockturn Alley.

If the Order of the Phoenix starts a war with the Death Eaters at this time, it is very likely that Voldemort will change places to hide.

The non-dealing between Johnny Silverhand and Dumbledore is the capital for Voldemort to continue to be active.

"I'm going to the garden, do you want to come with me?" John glanced at Tang Mi.

Tang Mi looked at the time and said without changing his expression: "Can I refuse?"

He made an appointment with Oz, and the time was almost up.

He really hated the Death Eaters. He would never come sooner or later.
