Chapter Ninety-Four: Ready

The Hogwarts Express is speeding through the countryside with students returning to school after Christmas. The fields after the heavy snowfall www.biquge.info white, and the hazy light, combined with the snowflakes falling from time to time, constitute a wonderful snow scene. Phoenix, however, didn't have the heart to appreciate the beauty.

Hermione was in tears, covered her mouth, and sobbed, "Ron's fatherโ€”"

Phoenix put his arm around her, and the letter was ugly and crooked, and the writer could have been extremely emotionally unstable.

By the time Mr. Weasley was taken to the hospital, he was dead and the toxin had penetrated into his brain. The therapist said that even if the detoxification was successful, Mr. Weasley would not wake up. Repairing organs damaged by snake venom was also a large expense, and the family could not afford it at all, and in the end, Mrs. Weasley agreed to give up the treatment.

It was Harry.

"How so!"

"He wasn't the first and won't be the last. We-" The carriage door was pulled open, and Philip walked in excitedly, and Hermione seemed to be crying when he saw them hugging each other.

"Oh-oh, I'm sorry, I'll come back later. โ€

"More on that later. Phoenix whispered, and he withdrew in understanding.

"I'll be fine," Hermione closed her eyes and leaned on Phoenix's shoulder, "there will always be sacrifices in warโ€”if one day I die-"

"You're not going to die. Phoenix said firmly. But there was something else on my mind.

Regulus found the Horcrux and took the real thing. So, now if he destroyed the Horcruxes, if not he would have kept them there. By all accounts, he died at the end of the First War. The Death Eaters believed that he had disappeared or had been killed by members of the Order of the Phoenix. The Order of the Phoenix thought he wanted to quit and was executed by Voldemort or the Death Eaters.

Apparently none of the parties are right.

"It's going to be hard for their family, in a difficult time. "The board of directors is discussing a portion of the tuition fees to subsidize the school's daily expenses. What I saw in the newspaper, is it true?"

"Not bad. โ€

"Can't you think of a way?" she was not too surprised, and the newspapers touted the British market every day, even though it was still thriving. In fact, a third of the shops in Diagon Alley close because they can't afford the high rents. Hermione knew all this thanks to that, like Phoenix, in addition to the local British newspapers, she also ordered the national standard plates of the surrounding countries.

"It's okay, I promised Professor Dumbledore that I would personally fund this part. In case the students could not afford to pay the money, not everyone among the Muggle-born students was from a good family. โ€

"Yes, the Creevey brothers' father was a milkman, and it would be a shame if he dropped out of school because of financial reasons. Hermione agreed.

Along the way, they talked about current events, magic, but not about the current war. At the dinner party on the first day back, Draco said that someone had really changed schools.

Some well-informed parents don't want to wade into this troubled water. The transfer procedure between the world's famous magic schools is very simple, as long as the parents agree, go to the school and notify the school to complete the withdrawal procedure.

The Slytherin table was divided into waves, with some elated by the escape of their relatives, some indifferent to the situation, and Phoenix as the child of a Death Eater who was concerned about the situation.

The next day in Potions class, Snape managed to get Neville to blow up the third cauldron of the school year. After class, Phoenix deliberately stayed.

"How's that? Voldemort should be ready. The last student ran away with his bag on his back, Phoenix asked.

"The giants and werewolves have agreed. Those held in Azkaban are recovering. The Dark Lord felt that acting as soon as possible was the best option to prevent Dumbledore from becoming alert. He thought the pre-Christmas commotion was too big, not only proving his unusual connection to Potter, but also drawing Dumbledore's attention. โ€

"And what did Dumbledore do to teach Potter Occlumency?" Phoenix said.

"Yes, I will teach Potter on a regular basis. Personally, I don't think he can learn it, it's not for people of this age to learn this kind of magic. "Snape has always been business-oriented and tries not to get into personal emotions when talking about business," Voldemort will be doing it next week, and he thinks that Autumn may not be the best option, but it can indeed circumvent Potter's verification. โ€

"Of course - don't forget, inform Dumbledore in time that my men are no match for Voldemort. Phoenix reminded.

The plan went smoothly and there were hardly any changes. Everything was under control, and Phoenix smiled happily.

"By the way, Blake stays at headquarters all year round. But I don't think he would have stayed home if Potter was out of danger. When the time comes, you go to the headquarters," Phoenix remembered about Regulus, and took out a sketch of a Slytherin locket from his bag, "Look for this locket, Regulus took an important thing, see if you can find a clue." โ€

Snape took the drawings and said with a little surprise, "Slytherin stuff?"

"His locket, a handful of relics that have been handed down. On the day everyone gathers at the Ministry of Magic, you have a few hours, be meticulous, and I'm sure you can do it. After Phoenix, he packed his bag and went to class.

Unfortunately, the class bell has been ringing several times.

In the evening, the DA party, to Phoenix's surprise, came a lot of people. Originally, he had caused so much trouble before, and he thought that only a few people would dare to continue to participate. Maybe it was the Death Eater escape that spurred them on, or maybe it was because Umbridge was dead, and the school was temporarily back to its old atmosphere.

Everyone was amazed to see the extra Slytherin students, and everyone firmly believed that many of the Slytherin students' parents were Death Eaters. How could they not be surprised that they had come to participate in this study group that was clearly against the Death Eaters.

Phoenix saw Ron standing next to Harry with a gloomy face.

He figured out that sometimes he should let go of personal grudges. Phoenix whispered to Hermione.

"You'd better not talk, he's been like a fiery dragon lately, ready to breathe fire at any moment. "Hermione knew who Phoenix was talking about.

For a long time, Hermione didn't know what to do with Ron. They were friends, but the conflict between him and Phoenix was awkward to think about, but luckily everyone was on Voldemort's side. She didn't want to lose her friends, and she didn't want to lose Phoenix.

"Everyone is now working in pairs and practicing the previous spell. If it goes well, we're learning the disability spell. Phoenix stepped forward and said loudly.

Although Slytherin had people in attendance, the other houses still had a bad sense for them. Obviously, Slytherin only teamed up with his own people, and few people in other houses were willing to practice with Slytherin.

Daphne and Bress went straight to the army to brush up on the basics. Both Astoria and Harry's roommates are new to the game, and Hermione is in charge of teaching them and getting them up to speed as quickly as possible.

After learning that the ten Death Eaters were on the run, everyone trained even harder. However, no one's progress is as obvious as Neville's, and the news of the escape of his parents' killer has caused him to take a strange and even somewhat frightening turn. He didn't care about injuries or accidents, and practiced harder than anyone else in the room.

"Do you know why you didn't come, Autumn?" asked Harry, pretending to be inadvertent.

"She didn't come back after Christmas. A Ravenclaw girl told him that he was then defeated by Neville's sharp disarming spell.

Harry frowned, an uneasy expression. As Phoenix listened, he smiled and instructed Neville in the Iron Armor Charm, the last spell they had learned before Christmas. (To be continued.) )
