Chapter 21: Aftermath of the Attack (4)
Not to mention that the Weasley brothers are happy outside, just this side of Grimmauld Place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After receiving the news from Arthur Weasley from the Ministry of Magic that Harry Potter was using magic illegally, Cialis Black's first instinct was to immediately go and get Harry, but fortunately, he was not the only adult wizard at 12 Grimmauld Place at the time.
After learning that Dumbledore had gone to the Ministry of Magic to mediate, Siris Black was temporarily calmed down by everyone's reassurance, at least not the desire to bring Harry Potter immediately.
Soon after, the letter between Holly and Dumbledore was also a reassurance to everyone - Harry would not leave the place where he was staying for a short time (this was a message from Holly, and Holly also mentioned in the letter that he suggested that the Order of the Phoenix should pick up Harry Potter as soon as possible), and Dumbledore also brought good news that Harry was not expelled from Hogwarts, at least temporarily, and was not discredited from using his wand until the outcome of the hearing.
Both are good news, but for Cyris Black, it's not particularly good news.
Because if Holly asked the Order of the Phoenix to pick up Harry Potter, then from Black's point of view, Holly had discovered the hidden defense holes and the hostile threat that had appeared around Harry, and even thought that it could threaten Harry's personal safety, so he proposed that the Order of the Phoenix take Harry Potter away......
As for Dumbledore's news, it was not good news for Blake, and it seemed to be more like an ultimatum...... Well, Ultimatum Black needs to think about what to pay......
Holly didn't think as much as Siris Black thought, but he really didn't think Harry Potter could stay at Dursley.
The reason is not quite what Blake thinks, but there are some similar situations. The monitoring that can be easily detected by Holly is definitely not the only line of defense arranged by Dumbledore, as for how many lines of defense there are behind, considering the scarcity of Dumbledore's men, Holly does not think that Dumbledore can arrange a few more people, maybe two at most?
However, considering that it can be attracted by people in other ways, it is estimated that most of them are on duty alone.
Holly really doesn't have any confidence in the security factor of a person's execution. Not to mention the collective action of the Death Eaters under the Dark Lord, she was on her own, and she was sure to quietly control a certain member of the Order of the Phoenix who was on duty hidden in certain corners and did not have a wide range of sight.
Offense and defense with open vision are completely different from limited vision, especially if Dumbledore has set up a bunch of defensive magic that renders almost all of his Alert Charms ineffective.
Fixed-point defense is really too risky and a big enough first-mover disadvantage.
This time, maybe just transfer the surveillance personnel and attack, and next time, maybe just fish there, or even deliberately expose the fishing process to Harry Potter?
According to the character of the Savior's Virgin, if he sees that the person he was sent to protect him is killed or has some accident because of him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make any extreme choices.
Another point is that Holly is a little impatient with Dumbledore...... Under such circumstances, it is impossible to say whether Dumbledore will reach some kind of tacit agreement with the Dark Lord again, repeat it and drag himself into the water...... Although Harry Potter's existence doesn't mean much to Holly right now (referring to the inheritance), it is not impossible to consider having the opportunity to control a banner in the wizarding world.
On Dumbledore's side, the Dementor attack was somewhat of a laissez-faire for him. If it weren't for the fact that he had put the money-hungry Mongton Fletcher on duty at the same time for several days in a row, I believe that the Death Eaters, who could not be exposed in public, might not have been able to figure out the matter so quickly.
As for the question of Harry Potter's punishment, Dumbledore also had to sigh with emotion.
After a few years away from the Wizengamot, the group of people inside can't even find a few familiar faces. At least before, there were some familiar names in it. It can't be said that I can't see familiar faces anymore, it's just that acquaintances are now commuting to work on time every day, and they don't want to care about anything. Everything doesn't seem to have much to do with themselves, and it can be seen from the quill in front of the acquaintance that everyone uses the quill much slower than before, and even many people have unopened quill pens inserted there.
In desperation, Dumbledore also had to deal directly with Cornelius Fudge, as for what exchange was made, it can't be called an exchange, just reach an intention first, at least stabilize those people in the Ministry of Magic first, and then have a chance to slowly turn around.
No one knew exactly what the Dumbledore-Fudge deal had to do with it, but Holly had some speculation...... The Hogwarts book list has not yet arrived, which means ...... At least there are still teachers who are not certain, and considering the legendary curse of the Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, maybe Dumbledore wants to try the waters with Fudge's?
But equally, for Fudge's men, Holly is also hopeless. A group of skill points are all focused on gangs, intrigue, and fake public affairs, at least Holly doesn't think that those guys can make any waves at Hogwarts, at most they are doing something to vent their personal anger, and it won't affect themselves anyway.
As for the Dark Lord's men, as long as Dumbledore hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey, he probably wouldn't have asked Fudge to put those (former) Death Eaters into the school...... At the very least, Old Lady Longbottom would definitely use her seniority and her family's sacrifice to educate Fudge and Lucius Malfoy.
The parties involved in several aspects have their own ideas, and time passes little by little. Everyone expects things to go according to their own plans, and the worst-case scenario is not the worst that they envision.
Considering the need to transfer Harry Potter from the Dursleys to 12 Grimmauld Place, the Order of the Phoenix had to redeploy its staff and plan its route...... It is easy to transfer an underage wizard, because underage wizards do not have the ability to resist with magic, but it is also troublesome, because any action of transferring through magic will be registered with the Ministry of Magic, and the safe transfer of Harry Potter will once again become the focus of discussion in the Order of the Phoenix, when the Ministry of Magic has completely lost control over the Order of the Phoenix......
