Chapter 49: Order of the Phoenix

The photo looks yellowed, and the characters on it are a little unrecognizable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't know who gave this photo to Harry, and Shayne kept using various excuses not to return the photo to Harry. Now that the person concerned has seen this photo again, how can he not have a feeling that things are wrong? Lu Ping looked at the photo silently, falling into deep memories, Xie An added some wood to the fireplace, making the fire burn more vigorously.

"What do you want to know, Andrew?" said Professor Lupin's deep voice after a long silence. Obviously, this photo left him with more than just good memories.

"Before I ask you a question, I want to tell you where this photo came from. Xie An's face calmly told Lupin how Harry Potter had gotten this picture before. Lupin frowned, and the more Xie An said, the more confused Lupin looked.

"That's not right, the Order of the Phoenix is not a public organization, and these photos are not readily available, as far as I know, only those who actually join the Order of the Phoenix can get this group photo. Unfortunately, many of the people in this group photo have been..."Lupin replied.

"Is it possible that Headmaster Dumbledore, or some other professor, many of the professors at Hogwarts also seem to be members of the Order of the Phoenix. Xie An asked suspiciously.

"There's something wrong with your assumption, Headmaster Dumbledore used to forbid wizards to approach Harry without permission, otherwise why do you think so few people who worship Harry know Harry's whereabouts. The professors at Hogwarts strictly enforced this measure, and they would not discriminate against Harry unless necessary. If anyone really wanted Harry to know about the years when his parents fought, then just give Harry the picture was the way he should go. Professor Lupin took out his wand and slid it lightly over the photograph.

"I've checked the photos many times and found nothing. Originally, I wanted to give this to Headmaster Dumbledore, but it seems that the Headmaster was busy during that time, and now that this time comes, it may be time to give him this picture. Xie An said calmly.

"Some strange wizard signatures, which require specific spells to manifest, many of the Order of the Phoenix codes use this principle, I'll see if I can make this picture show, you wait. Professor Lupin slowly moved his wand over the photograph as if to guide a fragile stream of water on it, and a few minutes later, a peculiar symbol appeared on the back of the photograph: a family crest containing elements such as an eagle!

"This is the crest of the Longbottom family!This picture belongs to Frank and Alice!!," said Professor Lupin, full of surprise, completely unable to believe the origin of the picture in his hand.

"I don't understand, Professor, what are you talking about?" Xie An asked suspiciously. Shea's knowledge of the surname Longbottom was limited to the words themselves, just like Morgan, Weasley, or any other surname, and had no special meaning for Sheaan.

Professor Lupin's face looked even more ugly, the roaring fire in the fireplace seemed to have not brought him much warmth, and Professor Lupin had sat up straight and stared at the picture with all his heart.

"You don't understand, Andrew, you don't know what that means. Add to that the fact that the picture was given to Harry Potter, things would only get more complicated, and I have to wonder if there really was a conspiracy involved! I think I should report this to Headmaster Dumbledore immediately. Lupin looked at Andrew and Penelope with a serious face, Penelo's eyes widened and looked at Professor Lupin incredulously, she didn't expect Professor Lupin to be so nervous about a photo, she had also seen this photo, but she hadn't thought of anything.

"But Professor, I've seen the picture, can you tell me why, uh, do you think this picture is important?" asked Penelope, puzzled.

"Soon after this photo was taken, the Longbottoms were captured! Later, after they were rescued, this photo was missing from their belongings, the Order of the Phoenix was a secret organization at the time, and the loss of the photo made everyone very nervous, fearing that the Death Eaters would attack the person in the photo according to the photo, although the situation had changed a lot, Dumbledore still looked for this photo very carefully..."Professor Lupin said to Penelope with an ugly face, it was quite a classified list.

"Maybe it was just given to Harry by Neville Longbottom, who was in the same dormitory with Harry? Xie An asked calmly.

"No, I don't think Neville Longbottom would give anything important to anyone else, this is the most precious image that the Longbottoms left in this world, at that time, Neville had just been born, and I still remember the happy look of the Longbottoms. Professor Lupin said in a deep voice.

"So, do you suspect that this picture was actually given to Harry by the people who tortured the Longbottoms?" asked Shay, leaning forward and looking at Professor Lupin.

"It's not certain yet, but it's not ruled out. Professor Lupin tapped his leg with his wand to make it feel better.

"And what about these two, are these two in the front row really Harry's parents?" Xie An asked in a low voice, gesturing to the other couple who also looked happy in the photo.

The painful expression on Professor Lupin's face flashed, looking at the couple in the photo, staring at each other affectionately, their eyes were full of happiness and hope at this time, Lupin said in a low voice: "Potter proposed that everyone take this picture together, in order to celebrate the birth of new heirs to both ancient families, and the Order of the Phoenix has a new member. The situation was dire, and even Headmaster Dumbledore could not guarantee that the Death Eaters would be defeated. The birth of two boys not only brought joy, but also injected infinite strength into us. The members of the Order of the Phoenix couldn't help but rejoice when they learned that their two children were born safely one day apart. You know, Andrew, that feeling of being suppressed for a long time and suddenly seeing a glimmer of beauty, the two of them were born around and around, like a phoenix nirvana in the sun, which brought us the truest hope. ”

"As a result—" Lupin's voice muffled, and Xie An saw the professor close his eyes in pain.

"Professor, Harry Potter succeeded in defeating the Mysteries, didn't he? Xie An said emotionally, and Penelope on the side sobbed lowly.

It turns out that the Order of the Phoenix is such an organization, and for the future of the wizarding world in this country, they selflessly give everything, even their lives. After years of fighting the Death Eaters, for the independence of wizards and the liberation of Muggles, the members of the Order of the Phoenix lost their lives and were tortured to the point of madness. This seems familiar...

There are such people everywhere who have given everything to defend the good and create the future.

"You're right, Andrew, Potter once said to me that I wasn't fit to be a Gryffindor prefect, that I wasn't bad enough, that I couldn't be a good lead lion, that I wasn't hot enough, that I wasn't optimistic enough, and I think he was right. Professor Lupin said in a deeper voice, lost in the memory of the past.

"Professor, you and your companions have earned everyone's respect, and will always be an indelible memory in the hearts of countless wizards, and will always be an example of perseverance and self-improvement, and even now, I believe that many people still follow the example of you, and fight silently to protect a better future. Xie An said very solemnly.

Professor Lupin looked at Andrew Lee in surprise, wondering why he said this. Penelope wiped away her tears and looked at Xie An with a confused expression.

Xie An asked for a few more details on the photos, and Professor Lu Ping answered them one by one, and after finding that Professor Lu Ping was indeed very tired, Xie An politely said goodbye to Professor Lu Ping.

"Andrew, what do you mean by that, it sounds like a speech from the Minister of Magic. On the way back, Penelope asked curiously.

"It's just for the sake of those who sacrificed, and without them we might still be ruled by the Death Eaters. Xie An said calmly.

"But wasn't it Harry Potter who defeated the Mystery?" asked Penelope, puzzled.

Xie An smiled slightly and did not answer.

The answer he received from Professor Lupin made Xie An even more uneasy, and combined with the warning of Barrow the Blood, Xie An was almost certain that Hogwarts was full of loopholes and all kinds of safety risks, and it was naïve to still think that hiding in the school would be able to escape the blow. After confirming this, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little lost, after all, this place seemed to be the safest place in the entire British wizarding world. If even this place is full of intrigue and danger, how much better can you expect anywhere else?

In the next few days, Xie An and Lord Earl exchanged news, and for Qiu's safety, Xie An also tried not to get tired of being with him. Xie An was once again trapped in a journey of pessimism and despair, and if he continued like this, he felt that he would never be happy again without the Dementor attack.

After his last Potions class, Xie An forced himself to come to the library and study hard. Luna, who followed closely, stared at Xie An curiously for a long time, making sure that Xie An was staring at a page of the book and trying to identify the spell on it, rather than sleeping, before putting her opal necklace on the table and sitting down face to face with Xie An.

"Andrew, you've been looking listless lately, are you experiencing something unhappy?" Luna asked in her original voice.

Xie An looked up from the healing-looking metamorphosis book that turned caterpillars into butterflies, glanced at Luna, and muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Luna didn't hear clearly, Andrew's voice was too quiet.

"No, it's nothing, I just didn't sleep well yesterday. "I really slept badly, and the depressed memories of the end made Xie An miserable.

"I didn't see you go to dinner at noon or night, and Autumn hasn't been with you in days, what's wrong with you? Andrew, you look very bad. Luna asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing, I just... I can't tell, I think I've been a little nervous lately. Xie An felt as if he had begun to periodically be consumed by despair again.

"Oh, Andrew, you're here, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Hermione walked over from the other side of the library with a lot of books in her arms.

Xie An glanced up at Hermione, but didn't say anything.

"Andrew, I need you to do me a favor, I think only you can do this. Will you help me?" Hermione sat across from Andrew, next to Luna.

Xie An nodded and said in a low voice, "I can help you before I think of a solution to the problem." ”

"What do you mean? you already know what I need your help with?" asked Hermione, a little surprised.

"No, no, I mean, I don't really know what I'm supposed to do during this time. So, to put it another way, I'm idle and can help you. Xie An said helplessly.

"Hmph, moaning without illness, you rich people's children know how to pretend to be very melancholy, but you don't know how stupid it is. Hermione criticized unceremoniously.

"You're right, Hermione, what do you need me to do for you?" Xie An replied disapprovingly.

"About Hogsmeade, you promised me last time..."Hermione had just said a start, and there was a pop sound from the front of the library, and the students all looked at the front of the library.

Mrs. Pince had already walked over, and one of the students exclaimed, "Ginny Weasley, it's Gryffindor's Ginny Weasley!

Hermione hurriedly got up from her seat and hurried forward. Luna and Shay Ann were still seated, and Luna had turned her opal necklace into a strange clock, fiddling with her new watch. After Xie An glanced at it, he continued to look down at his butterflies and caterpillars.

After a commotion, Ginny was taken to the hospital, accompanied by Hermione. Xie An watched the caterpillars for a long time, and suddenly a very familiar melody sounded in his heart: they have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the end of the world;Oh~Where,have,all,the,flowers,gone...

Maybe he is really too pretentious, Xie An couldn't help but think, if death is in front of you, do you still have time, do you have time to recall your life, Xie An smiled self-deprecatingly. After saying hello to Luna, Xie An suddenly wanted to go outside and look at the stars.

The castle was quiet, it was completely dark, all the bonfires for lighting were lit, and the various statues and armor in the castle cast strange and distorted shadows under the reflection of the bonfires. Occasionally, the senior students gathered in the corridor to chat, and Xie An slowly walked to the astrology classroom, which was very quiet and silent high up in the castle of Hogwarts.

Turning a corridor, Xie An saw a small thing rushing towards him, its short wings flapping constantly, and making a strange croaking sound.

Xie An squatted down and looked strangely at the dodo, which kept pecking at his robe with his beak, and held his elusive pet in his arms. "What's wrong with you? Xie An patted the dodo's head, and the dodo shivered and buried his head in Xie An's arms, not daring to look at the other end of the corridor.

Xie An vigilantly took out the Fusang wooden staff and looked at the other end of the corridor, and then, Xie An saw a pair of huge yellow eyes, and then, he felt that his whole body became lighter.
