  Chapter 1119 A kind reminder

   "Wake up, Nymphadora, wake up!"

   "Mom, what's the matter?"

  Tonks opened her eyes in confusion. Not long after she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she was awakened by her mother.

   "Auror, an Auror from the Ministry of Magic is looking for you." Mrs. Andromeda reminded in a low voice.

   "Auror?" Tonks looked sideways out of the dark window and complained, "At this point in time, is there any mistake?"

  When Tonks rubbed his eyes and came to the living room, he found his colleague standing there.

   "Williamson?"

"Amelia Bones is dead, and there is a Dark Mark above the house." Williamson looked at the sleepy Tonks and continued, "We also found Emmeline Vance's body nearby , she should be from the Order of the Phoenix, right?"

   "What? Emmeline is dead."

  The sleepiness on Tonks' face disappeared, and he just stayed where he was.

   "Yes, she's dead. It's in a small alley near Burns' house." After the middle-aged Auror finished speaking, he slightly nodded at Tonks' family, turned and left.

  By the time Tonks came back to his senses, the Auror named Williamson had disappeared, and only the Tonks and his wife were left in the living room looking at her with worried faces.

   "I have to go out."

  Tonks hurried back to his room to change clothes, and then rushed to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

   Auror relayed the news to her because she was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and Emmeline Vance was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Scrimgeour hoped to pass the news to the Order of the Phoenix or Dumbledore through Tonks.

When Tonks rushed to No. 12 Grimmauld Place with the news of Emmeline Vance's sacrifice, he immediately sent the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix into a frenzy. There was a meeting at No. 12, Mo Plaza, and Mrs. Weasley also prepared strong tea for everyone to drive away drowsiness.

   "I said it a long time ago, Amelia Bones will kill herself sooner or later." Sirius looked extremely angry after learning that Emmeline Vance had died.

   "Calm down, Sirius." Lupine looked at his old friend rather helplessly.

  At the beginning, when the Order of the Phoenix planned to provide Amelia Bones with invisible protection, Sirius strongly opposed it. He believed that Amelia Bones would kill him sooner or later.

   As Albert expected, Amelia Bones was murdered by Voldemort, and the worst thing was that she killed Emmeline Vance who protected her.

   "Emeline Vance's death is very suspicious." Mad-Eye Moody frowned and said, "She was attacked while leaving the stronghold and going out on patrol, and she didn't even put up any resistance."

  In fact, whether members of the Order of the Phoenix are in the stronghold or leaving the stronghold, they will use the disillusionment spell on themselves to ensure personal safety.

  Generally, with the hidden protection of the Disillusionment Curse, even if a Death Eater broke into the temporary stronghold, it would be difficult to find them immediately and kill the members of the Order of the Phoenix in the stronghold.

And Emmeline Vance was killed on the way of patrolling. She was killed without any resistance. The other party was able to see through the Disillusionment Curse and sneaked up on Emmeline when she was unprepared. It all looks weird.

"The group of Death Eaters have been prepared for a long time." Sirius tapped his finger on the table and murmured, "Don't forget, besides us, there are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic who are responsible for the safety of Amelia Bones." , and yet they were brought down without any warning."

"You mean, there are traitors among the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic, or..." Tonks is also in an unstable mood now, not only because Emmeline Vance was murdered, but also because she almost died .

   "Voldemort and the Death Eaters knew from the beginning that we were protecting Amelia Bones." Sirius reminded, "Someone must have leaked this news to them."

   "Calm down Sirius, no one here will tell You-Know-Who." Lupine guessed who Sirius was talking about.

"You know who I'm talking about, and I'm calmer than any of you," Sirius sneered, taking a swig of butterbeer into his mouth, "Because I've expected this day to come, I just didn't expect Emmeline Vance to die because of it."

   "You believe in those prophecies too much!" Mad-Eye Moody said, frowning.

"But those prophecies have come true." Sirius put the wooden cup heavily on the table and reminded rather annoyedly, "I know what you want to say, but I would rather believe in Anderson's words than this kind of sacrifice." prophecy."

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. Amelia Bones is looking for death herself. Knowing that Voldemort will kill her herself, she still doesn't care... she just deserves her death." Sirius laughed at himself: "From the very beginning, we shouldn't take any chances."

   "What to do now, is the Ministry of Magic really going to... collapse?"

  Arthur hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his inner worries. They secretly provided protection for Amelia Bones, in fact, they hoped that Amelia Bones could change the current situation.

  Because Sirius once mentioned that according to Albert's prophecy, Fudge's successor must be an unlucky guy who will die during his term of office. At that time, the Ministry of Magic will completely collapse and be controlled by Voldemort and Death Eaters.

   "I don't think it is now." Sirius frowned and said, "I remember Fred and George said that in a year or two, the Ministry of Magic will collapse."

   "Fred and George?" Everyone was a little surprised.

   Isn’t that what Albert said?

   "Maybe, we should go to Fred and George to find out the specific situation." Lupine stopped Sirius from continuing.

   "No, I remember I recorded it." Sirius waved his wand and conjured a notebook out of thin air.

   "Are you still taking notes?"

  Everyone was surprised and looked at Sirius with disbelief.

"Fred and George said that Albert predicted this war a long time ago, so he made those black magic defense props." Sirius didn't care about other people's eyes, flipped through his notes and said, "Found Well, he thinks Fudge's successor is an unlucky guy who will eventually die miserably during his term of office, and the next successor is also an unlucky guy because he will become a puppet of Voldemort. I think the collapse of the Ministry of Magic should refer to this. Ai Burt mentioned that everyone will need to hide when the time comes."

   "Anything else?" asked Lupine, breaking the silence.

   "Harry will eventually wipe out the You-Know-Who." Sirius closed his notes and said, "Albert obviously thinks Harry is our hope."

   "Destroy the You-Know-Who." Moody muttered, and his intuition told him that the mysterious Anderson must know something.

He suddenly felt that it was a big loss for Dumbledore not to invite Albert to join the Order of the Phoenix. It's completely different.

   "Perhaps, it's time to have a good chat with Dumbledore." Moody suddenly understood why Sirius admired Anderson so much.

   "Where's Dumbledore?" Tonks asked suddenly.

   "I don't know." Moody shook his head and said, "I have sent a message to Dumbledore, but I haven't received a reply for a while. I suspect that he may not be in England."

   "Not in the UK?"

   "I don't know, Dumbledore rarely tells people about his whereabouts, but I think he must have something important to do." Moody speculated.

   "Important things? For example?"

   "Find a way to defeat You-Know-Who and eliminate him completely." Moody muttered, "I suspect that Anderson might know something too."

   "It's best to stop this matter here." Sirius suddenly said seriously, "Don't spread it outside, especially don't let Snape know."

"What?"

  Everyone was a little stunned, Qi Qi turned to look at Sirius.

   "What would happen if Voldemort was tricked into thinking Anderson knew his Achilles' heel?" Sirius asked rhetorically.

   "You mean... the mysterious man will chase Anderson madly?"

   "No, You-Know-Who probably can't do anything about Anderson, but we might all be unlucky because of it," Sirius warned.

   "Will we be unlucky?"

   "You don't know him." Sirius lowered his voice and said, "Umbridge was sent to Azkaban Prison by him."

   "Umbridge is not..."

   "Who do you think reminded Harry?" Sirius sneered, "Do you really think he is a young wizard who just graduated?"

   "I dare say that Voldemort's lair was found by the Aurors, and he probably leaked the secret to the Aurors. Voldemort once wanted to kill him in the duel competition."

"He also used our hands to send all the Death Eaters who had assassinated him to Azkaban Prison. Gore, Crabbe, Avery... At the beginning, the Death Eaters who were captured in Spain were all in Azkaban Prison. Among the captured Death Eaters."

   "Yes, this..."

   There was an eerie silence in the living room, everyone looked at each other, although they didn't understand why Sirius said that, but is the truth really like that?

  Intuition told Tonks that what Sirius said might be right, at least the location of Voldemort's lair was probably really revealed to Scrimgeour by Anderson.

  Mrs. Weasley suddenly asked, "When will Emmeline's funeral start?"

"the day after tomorrow."

   The restaurant fell into silence again.

   "Go and rest, I know everyone is very tired." Mrs. Weasley suggested.

  No matter how much they discussed, they couldn't discuss any results. Amelia Bones was dead, so it's hard to say what will happen next.

   "Go back and rest, I will contact Dumbledore as soon as possible." Moody stood up with his crutches after speaking. Staying up late is not friendly to an elderly man.

   "Remus, I have something to tell you." After the meeting, Sirius stopped his old friend.

After the members of the Order of the Phoenix left, Sirius poured a glass of butterbeer and placed it in front of Lupine. The latter took it, but did not drink it. He looked at Sirius with tired eyes and asked, "What's the matter, Sirius."

   "You like Tonks, don't you!" Sirius suddenly said in a firm tone.

   "What?" Lupine was a little taken aback, as if he didn't understand why Sirius said that.

   "She almost died tonight!" Sirius reminded: "If it wasn't for Emmeline Vance's bad luck, it was probably Tonks who died tonight."

"perhaps you're right."

   Lupine clenched his wine glass tightly and fell into a brief silence. He drank the butterbeer in his glass suddenly, and changed the subject, "Amelia Bones was eventually killed by Voldemort."

   "Tonks likes you too, my old friend." Sirius looked at Lupine with downcast eyes, and reminded, "You almost lost her tonight, maybe you should face up to your feelings."

   "What about you, Sirius?" Lupine asked rhetorically.

   "I'm just a little disappointed." Sirius said irritably, "It's like when Dumbledore wanted to win over the werewolf, I was very pessimistic, but you still went, what can I do, I have nothing to do."

"Well, I admit that if you are not even willing to try, then you have no hope at all." Sirius looked at his old friend and said calmly: "So, I think I should remind you to grab your own happiness."

   "I'm not suitable, Sirius." Lupine shook his head and laughed at himself. "I'm too old, too poor, and too dangerous."

"I know what you are worried about?" Sirius said slowly: "I asked Anderson, and he said that the probability of being a werewolf to the next generation is not high, and even if it is really inherited, it will not appear that you will actually become a werewolf. It's just a bit of a werewolf symptom."

  Lupine opened his mouth slightly, looking hesitant to speak.

"As for poverty, it won't be a big problem." Sirius reached out and patted Lupine's shoulder and said, "You should have seen that Fred and George earned a lot of Galleons easily, and you can too. , even if you can't make a lot of money, we can still get you a good job, Fred and George need help, they ask you to help, not only because you need the money, but also because of your Defense Against the Dark Arts The level is also not low, and they recognize your ability."

"After this experience, our magazine can also become the most famous Defense Against the Dark Arts magazine in the UK. It can be sold well, and you are the editor-in-chief of the magazine, so you don't have to worry about Garen at all." Sirius said softly: "There's also the issue of werewolves. There's the Charm to Restore Human Form. It's just that the spell is more difficult, but I believe that as long as Tonks is willing, he can learn it with a little time. Even if there is no potion of Wolfsbane, your threat is not too great."

   "Think about it, my old friend." Sirius said softly: "Your worries are actually not a big problem."

   "I'm tired, I'm going back to rest first." Lupine lowered his eyes, got up and left directly.

   "I still think you should stay." Sirius asked to stay.

  Lupine didn't speak, didn't stop, and left quickly.
