Chapter 1264： lost support

  Chapter 1264 Lost backer

"What happened?"

  Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, Harry, who was discussing with Hermione and Ron in the dormitory to find the Horcrux, pushed his head out of the room and questioned Sirius who had just walked past the door in doubt.

   "Kingsley just sent back news that a group of Death Eaters broke into Bubaji's house and forcibly took him away."

  Sirius didn’t have any special feelings about Bubaji being arrested. He had heard other members of the Order of the Phoenix talk about Bubaji, but he was curious that this person hadn’t gone abroad to seek refuge after being reminded by Albert.

  Although it was him, he might not have chosen to hide, but it did not prevent Sirius from feeling that the Muggle professor named Bubaji deserved to be taken away.

  Who told her not to listen?

  Since it is my choice, I have to finish it even with tears in my eyes.

   If you lose your life, there is nothing you can do about it.

   "Didn't Professor Bubaji leave England?" Hermione was also very surprised by this.

  At the beginning, Albert specifically reminded Professor Bubaji that the three of them were there at the time, but Professor Bubaji didn't take Albert's warning seriously?

   Doesn't she know that Albert is a master prophecy?

   It shouldn't be!

   "No, she didn't go abroad, she still stayed in the UK, it seems that she changed places."

   Tonks hurried back to the headquarters with a helpless wry smile, "Bubbaji still listened, but..."

   "Are you okay?" Sirius asked.

"fine."

  Tonks looked a little gloomy. Ever since she married Remus, the sequelae began to show up, and her situation in the Ministry of Magic became more and more embarrassing.

   "When did it happen?" Ron asked puzzled.

"This morning." Tonks guessed everyone's doubts and explained, "Because Albert had prophesied to Bubbaji, after learning that she hadn't left England, Kingsley thought she should pay special attention to her. The Ministry knew for the first time that she had been captured by the Death Eaters."

   It wasn't that the people from the Ministry of Magic were unwilling to provide shelter to Professor Bubaji, but that the person who was in charge of following him was just an ordinary member of the crisis response team. Naturally, he would not do anything stupid to make himself lose his life.

  The wizard in charge of monitoring contacted the Ministry of Magic immediately, but at that time Scrimgeour brought most of the Aurors to meet Albert, and there were not enough Aurors to support him.

  Of course, even if the Aurors hadn't been transferred, they wouldn't have fought the Death Eaters head-on because of Bubbaji.

   That's undeniably stupid.

   Moreover, Scrimgeour would not allow serious losses to the Aurors, as that would directly shake the stability of the Ministry of Magic and become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

   Therefore, the Ministry of Magic only used Professor Bubaji as bait from beginning to end to lure the Death Eaters out, intending to use this to attack the Death Eaters.

   What about Professor Bubaji?

  Sorry, the Ministry of Magic doesn't know either, it just depends on her luck.

   After Professor Bubaji was reminded by Albert, but he had no intention of leaving the UK, it was completely normal for him to be captured by Death Eaters even if he was unlucky.

  However, the biggest problem now is that the tracking mark left by the Ministry of Magic on Professor Bubaji has become invalid due to unknown reasons.

   This undoubtedly caught the Ministry of Magic, who wanted to use this to attack the Death Eaters, by surprise.

   "I think it's best for the Order of the Phoenix not to get involved, and leave this matter to the Ministry of Magic." Sirius was the first to release his opinion, "The Ministry of Magic is fully capable of handling this matter."

"Can…"

  Tonks was about to speak when he was interrupted by Sirius.

"Dumbledore is gone, and the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not able to be a good person around now, and if you ask me, Albert has reminded Bubbaji that staying in the UK would put her life in danger, but she still stays in the UK, even if... It was really unfortunate, and that was her own choice."

   Sirius did not say that he deserved to die, but everyone present understood what Sirius meant.

"Sirius."

  Professor McGonagall opened the door and walked into the living room, glaring at Sirius, very dissatisfied with his speech just now.

"Minerva, I hope you will first understand the current situation of the Order of the Phoenix." Sirius was very calm: "Since we lost Dumbledore, the entire Order of the Phoenix has been on the verge of collapse, we have to admit, Dumbledore He is the pillar of the Order of the Phoenix, and without him, we even lose the power to fight the Death Eaters head-on."

"Sirius."

   Lupine was shocked and astonished that Sirius would say such a thing.

"For the sake of a self-inflicted stranger, it is meaningless for members of the Order of the Phoenix to take risks. Now our most important task is to save Harry, to ensure that we can end this **** wizard war, and prevent more people from losing their lives because of it. what should be done."

   "Sirius, you..."

"Albert once said that Harry will eventually fight Voldemort, and he needs help at that time. If there is no Order of the Phoenix at that time, who do you expect to help Harry?" Sirius asked back, "Ministry of Magic?" ?”

   "No, the Ministry of Magic at that time had already collapsed, and was even controlled by Voldemort."

"Or other wizards in the wizarding world?" Sirius' tone was full of sarcasm, "They are even less courageous than Hogwarts students, otherwise we wouldn't be the only ones resisting the mysterious man. "

   "Isn't that quite like you?"

  Moody was a little surprised that Sirius would say that. Of course, he actually didn't agree to participate.

   "I don't deny that some things are worth dying for." Sirius looked around the crowd and shook his head, "But it definitely won't be Bubbaji, so let's face it!"

Sirius looked at Professor McGonagall calmly, "Voldemort will control Hogwarts sooner or later. If you are involved, do you think you can continue to work at Hogwarts? If you leave, then Huo What should Gwartz's students do? Are those dark wizards going to teach them?"

   Sirius sincerely does not want Professor McGonagall to leave the school, because Albert once said that the final battle will be at Hogwarts.

"In a sense, Sirius was right." Kingsley pushed the door into the living room panting, "However, I still hope that the Order of the Phoenix can get involved. Scrimgeour is also resisting the mysterious man, although His approach is a bit aggressive, but he is also someone we can fight for."

   "But Scrimgeour is getting overwhelmed." Sirius interrupted. "I doubt he'll survive the next month."

"That's true, but we can still fight for the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, the members of the crisis response team and some employees of the Ministry of Magic. Even if the Ministry of Magic collapses, we should..." Kingsley didn't understand why Sirius would try his best object to this.

"I don't think we can win over anyone." Sirius shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the mysterious man to kill all the pure blood in the British magic world, because pure blood is the basis for his rule of the magic world, which means that most of the pure blood Blood is safe. How many people do you think would risk their lives to join us in the Ministry of Magic, which is mostly pure blood?"

"No, no, they won't be willing to take that risk, because the grass is safer. Even if Voldemort really controls the Ministry of Magic, as long as they continue to remain neutral, they can still live." Sirius is very optimistic about the Ministry of Magic. Group of people.

   No, he saw it in Molly.

   Can't say who is right and who is wrong, but that's how it is.

  Everyone was silent for a while, because this is indeed a reality. Maybe they can really win some people, but the number is absolutely pitiful.

   "But didn't Albert set up the Defense Association? Fred and George said..." Hermione wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sirius.

"They are all friends of Albert. They are willing to join the Defense Association because of Albert's personal charm. They are willing to believe that Albert can lead them to victory, just like Dumbledore back then." Sirius watched He knew better than most people present, "If Dumbledore was still alive, I would definitely raise my hands to support you to save her, but he is no longer here, and I don't think those smart people would be willing to risk their lives to join us, join us The Defense Association is more reliable than us."

"Their worst case is nothing more than branding the Dark Mark on their left hand and bowing their heads to be Voldemort's dog." Sirius mocked unabashedly, "Believe me, many officials of the Ministry of Magic would be willing to do that. In their When life and power are threatened, I have no doubt that they will directly betray Scrimgeour. So Scrimgeour is not far from death."

   A longer silence followed.

"Muggle wizards are the ones we should fight for." Noticing the hesitation of the crowd, Sirius said first, "Because they have no choice. If Voldemort really controls the Ministry of Magic, with that guy The hostility of the melon wizards, Azkaban Prison may be their destination, don't forget Albert's "Guide to Self-Defense", he has already expected all of this."

  If Dumbledore was still alive, Sirius believed that the situation would have been reversed long ago, but with Dumbledore dead, no one would support their actions anymore, leading to the current embarrassing situation for the Order of the Phoenix. However, many members of the Order of the Phoenix do not realize that there is no one to support them anymore.
