Chapter 1317 I am the savior
Maybe, this is the world of adults.
Since the last time Harry directly told everyone that he had to obtain the consent of Dumbledore's portrait before he could satisfy everyone's curiosity.
However, everyone's reaction was very strange.
None of them seemed willing to let Dumbledore's portrait know about it.
After that incident, everyone seemed to stop asking questions, which made Harry inexplicably amused.
The original members of the Order of the Phoenix turned out to be like those children who were afraid of being scolded by the teacher. Even the habit of eavesdropping disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
"I really didn't expect that this would quench everyone's curiosity and easily solve the problems we encountered." Ron couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
To be honest, both Ron and Hermione were taken aback by Harry's decision before, but after seeing that this matter could be resolved so easily, they couldn't help admiring Harry's decision from the bottom of their hearts.
No one likes to live under the watchful eyes of others.
After returning to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix some time ago, I found that it was no different from a prison.
This is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, a very safe shelter, not the Azkaban Prison. It's really not a pleasant thing to be on guard against your own people every day. The feeling of worrying about being monitored when you whisper something is really terrible, and it always makes the three of them feel uncomfortable.
The situation is much better now than before, at least there is no need to be wary of other people.
"This is probably what Albert said about bullying the weak and fearing the hard!"
Harry took out the Snitch from his pocket and fiddled with it in his hand, with a hint of self-mockery in his helpless tone, "I didn't believe it before, but now..."
"Harry!"
Hermione looked up in surprise, she could clearly hear Harry's disappointment and loneliness.
The Order of the Phoenix tried to force Harry to tell the secret, which really disappointed Harry.
What upset Harry the most was probably that his godfather, Sirius, was in that group.
"Don't look at me that way, those are Albert's exact words, but you have to admit that what he said actually makes sense."
Harry let go of his fingers, allowing the Snitch to fly freely around the room.
"Dumbledore has just left, and his words are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I guess there will be no such influence in a few years."
Harry's eyes were fixed on the Snitch, not paying attention to the strange gazes of Hermione and Ron.
"Dumbledore is dead, and they are not the first to want to know the secret."
"Who's the first one?" asked Ron, eyes wide.
"Professor McGonagall."
"You didn't tell her?"
"No, she's a little angry." Harry shrugged, "I suggested she ask Albert, but I guess Albert won't tell them."
Hermione suddenly understood why Harry said he was bullying.
She twitched her lips slightly, and asked tentatively, "What are your plans next, continue to practice the Fiercefire Curse?"
"We have to determine... who owns that thing."
Harry picked up his wand on the table and cast a protective spell around him to make sure no one overheard their conversation.
Even if Harry "successfully" persuaded others to temporarily put down their curiosity, he still didn't forget that he should always be vigilant.
It wasn't that he didn't trust the members of the Order, but that he wasn't stupid enough to think that he could let his guard down just by convincing them.
Hermione and Ron couldn't help feeling ashamed when they saw Harry's behavior, and they really ignored it.
"Although Albert thought that Hufflepuff's gold cup might have been put into Lestrange's family treasury, since that mad woman followed Draco Malfoy to invade Hogwarts and kill Dumbledore, completely disappeared."
After sealing the windows and the door with a distraction spell, Harry put down his wand and grabbed the Snitch floating in front of him again.
"If we can't disguise ourselves as Bellatrix through compound potions, I'm afraid we'll have to use other methods to sneak into Gringotts, and it's not easy for the three of us to break into the Lestrange family's vault directly, It is more likely to get lost and be trapped underground."
"It's not easy. Don't forget, we only have one chance, and we have to get it in a short time. I think it is very necessary to make sure that the gold cup or crown is not in the Yaxley family's vault before breaking into Gringotts."
In Hermione's view, invading Gringotts to steal items is an extremely crazy thing. She doubts that it will be difficult for the three of them to make effective progress without Albert's help.
In fact, they don't even know the number of Lestrange's family vault now, they have to get the goblin's help.
"Don't worry about Hermione, we have planned Gringotts for at least a year, or even longer." Ron seemed to see Hermione's uneasiness, and comforted him softly, "Don't forget, Quirrell has successfully broken into Gringotts before. The Ling Pavilion steals the Sorcerer's Stone."
"That's You-Know-Who, Quirrell isn't capable of that." Harry corrected.
"Harry, I think you need to master the Imperius Curse." Ron said suddenly.
"That's the Unforgivable Curse."
Hermione frowned and reminded that she was well aware of the horror of these spells, and also resented the use of these black magic.
"I know, but it's undeniably useful." Ron continued, ignoring Hermione's gaze, "Maybe, we'll need it to control goblins, you know, we'll need goblin help, but I'm getting help from Bill. The goblins I learned are not a group of guys who are easy to deal with. Even if you try to exchange the sword of Gryffindor for their help, you may be shamefully betrayed, because in the eyes of the goblins, the sword of Gryffindor is a goblin things, wizards are just shameful thieves."
"Maybe we will solve the goblin matter one by one in the future. With the sword of Gryffindor, I believe we can temporarily persuade those guys to cooperate with us." Harry nodded to Hermione who took out his notes, He continued, "Finding out where the gold cup is is the key point. Although I think Albert's prediction should be very accurate, it is also necessary to conduct a round of investigation before taking action."
"At that time, Hermione and I will take turns to accompany you, just so we can try to practice breaking free from the control of the Imperius Curse." Ron said suddenly, "Fred and the others have practiced how to break free from the control of the Imperius Curse more than once. "
"Well, it seems that my task of practicing spells will be increased." Harry sighed, "However, it's best not to let other people know, so as not to make a fuss about it."
"Can we talk about Yaxley now?" Hermione knew that she probably couldn't stop it, so she changed the subject.
"It's not easy to catch Cobain Yaxley, that guy is now the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Ron made his own suggestion, "I still think to ask Albert for help directly, that guy is more powerful than us." Be careful, he must have a way of figuring out where Hufflepuff's cup is hidden."
"We can't count on Albert." Harry shook his head, "Otherwise, Dumbledore would have given Albert the task of finding the Horcrux, not me. I think there must be some reason for him to do that .”
Harry never minded asking Albert for help, but he wouldn't pass his responsibility on to others.
After hearing Phineas say that Snape put the fake Gryffindor sword in the Yaxley family vault in the principal's office last time, Harry felt that he should not ignore Yaxley, after all, the mysterious man also Also trust him.
"It's not easy to deal with Yaxley quietly." Hermione took out a newspaper about Yaxley and spread it on the table: "Yaxley is also an old family, the manor of the old family There's usually some ancient magical protection, and it's hard to go to his house and ambush him without alerting him, and we don't even know where the Yaxleys are."
"Can we stop him on the way to the Ministry of Magic?" Ron briefly said his proposal, "I heard from Dad that they needed to apparate to the vicinity of the Ministry of Magic before, and then go to the Ministry of Magic through a special entrance. If The Yaxley guy didn't pass the privilege, and the fireplace in his office must also go the same way. We can use Harry's invisibility cloak to sneak attack him, and then feed him some Veritaserum to torture the information he needs .If Hufflepuff's gold cup is really in his vault, we can borrow some hair from him and use a polypotion to enter the vault disguised as him."
"No, no Polyjuice," Harry said suddenly, "just use the Imperius Curse to hold Yaxley in check, and make him pretend he's going to put some treasure in his vault, and we can easily talk to him about it." Go to Yaxley's vault."
"Some treasure?" Ron muttered. "We don't have one like that, unless you're willing to take out the Gryffindor sword."
"How about the Ravenclaw diadem?"
Harry put a photo on the table, "Pay some money to ask Albert to make a new one. I believe that with his level, he will definitely be able to make a good fake."
"The premise is that our plan can be carried out smoothly, and Hufflepuff's gold cup must also happen to be in the Yaxley family's vault. I am afraid that this requires luck and probability. Moreover, I think the Death Eaters abused their power. Possibly, like turning on the fireplaces in his house and in the offices of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."
Hermione took a sip of the intelligence enhancer, began to pick loopholes in Ron's plan, and took a quill to record the plan.
"Perhaps, we should also ask someone from the Floo Network Administration about the specific situation, and then use the Amnesia Charm to make him forget that part of the memory. By the way, we can also practice this."
"Hermione, the more complex the plan, the more likely there are loopholes." Harry didn't think this was a good idea.
Ron shook Hermione's communication bookmark and said: "So, we should ask Albert for help. I think it shouldn't be difficult to ask him to help us get Yaxley."
"Forget it, anyway, there is no need to worry now, let's take it step by step, first master the Fiendfyre Curse." Harry really didn't want to bother Albert because of this matter, he was actually very suspicious of him Will you agree to help him.
"If you can't, find Yaxley's house first, and then set fire to their house. This will definitely force that guy out." Ron gave them a bad idea. Ever since Charlie's death, the Weasleys have been very hostile to the Death Eaters.
"Ron, this isn't funny!"
"The **** things Yaxley did, you can die a hundred times and you won't die." Ron said angrily, "Don't forget those Muggle wizards who were thrown into Azkaban by them and died tragically."
"In the past few days, I plan to go to the shelter. I heard that there is another shelter besides those students who were expelled." Harry coughed lightly, trying to divert the attention of the two of them, so that they would not be caught off guard. And unpleasant conflicts occurred.
"I thought you regretted it the last time you went." Ron was a little surprised by Harry's decision.
"We're going anyway, otherwise how can we convince everyone to side with us?" Harry noticed the surprised eyes of Hermione and Ron, and explained: "You don't have to look at me like that, since I will have a fight with the mysterious man Naturally, we need to make complete preparations. Albert once said that it will be a big battle, so he suggested that I choose Hogwarts as the location. At that time, the dark wizards and dark creatures who are attracted by the mysterious people will definitely Will participate. How can the Order of the Phoenix and the Defense Association stop the mysterious man and his minions?"
"Harry, you never told us about this." Hermione frowned.
"I remember I mentioned it."
"Is there really going to be a big dogfight?"
"That's not the point, Ron." Hermione took a deep breath and asked, "So, you plan to let the Order of the Phoenix teach refugees Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"They are not refugees." Harry corrected, "They are just a group of people oppressed by dark wizards. I believe that as long as someone is willing to take the lead, they will be willing to stand up and resist."
"But I heard the situation over there is very bad." Hermione said suddenly.
"That's not like what you would say." Ron looked at Hermione in surprise.
"I will go with Sirius and Lupine." Harry laughed at himself. "Many people think that I should stand up and lead everyone to fight against the mysterious man. Now that I have stood up, I hope the name of the savior can be useful." !"
Harry knew he had to do something, and while he never thought of himself as a good leader, Harry knew there was value in his title of messiah.
"Harry, you are more and more like our head now." Ron reached out and tapped Harry's shoulder lightly.
"No, I'm not. I'm just a mascot. Albert is the head of everyone. Although we don't want to admit it, we do need his wisdom and his prophecy, just like Dumbledore back then." Harry His mind is not confused, he knows exactly what he should do, "It's best to contact Albert for this matter first, and see if he has any good suggestions, and then we can take action."
"I'll leave this to you, Hermione." Harry said to the girl beside him, "If you can, by the way, ask me if there is any trick to practicing the Fiercefire Curse."
"Okay, but I still think you'd better not get your hopes up."
Hermione knew very well that it would not be easy for other people to muster up the courage to resist the mysterious man, otherwise Harry would not be needed at all, and Albert would do it for him.
