Phoenix declined Draco's invitation, intending to stop the common room for a while. He took advantage of this opportunity to arrive at Snape's office.

"Please come in. ”

"Severus, sorry for coming. Phoenix pushed the door in and saw him grading his homework.

"What's the matter with me, Phoenix. Snape said cautiously, the door still open.

He closed the door, spread his hands and said helplessly: "Run here to hide for a while, there was an accident today." ”

"You shouldn't use the mimicry charm in front of so many people, it will cause the crowd to react. Snape seemed to be well aware of what was going on at school.

"I didn't look closely, but I was interested—I didn't expect it," said Phoenix, "and well, let's go here first." There's a member of the Order of the Phoenix arrested, you know?"

"Stoic Podmore. Snape put down the quill in his hand and looked serious.

"yes, that's the guy. Lucius should have done it, what was Dumbledore's reaction? His eyes were fixed on the specimens in his office.

"It's almost certain that he's under the Imperius Curse or the Obedience Curse, Dumbledore tells us to strengthen our ties and be vigilant - the guards of the Prophecy Hall can't be broken-"

"That's all," Phoenix frowned after hearing this, "the enemy is dark and I am clear, and Dumbledore doesn't have much to do." What did Dumbledore think of Potter? He seemed to have been very unconcerned about Potter lately. ”

"It's not that I don't care, but I can't. Snape explained, "He thinks the Dark Lord has some special connection to Potter, he can connect with the Dark Lord's mind, and that night -- he saw the graveyard from Voldemort's point of view, and thankfully you're gone, otherwise you'd be in trouble." He was probably suspicious of your lies, and he told me to pay attention to Potter, and to your words and actions. ”

He didn't care that Dumbledore was suspicious of him, if he believed it all, he would be stupid.

"It seems that my guess is not wrong, there is something wrong with that scar in Potter. He's been emotionally unstable lately, and it's an opportunity for me. ”

Snape narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously

"What chance?"

"By now you should know that I have a plan - to trick them all into the Ministry of Magic. Voldemort, Dumbledore, and my enemies," Phoenix nodded, knowing what Snape was pressing under his tongue, "yes, Severus, I'm in a hurry." There's one thing -- I'd better fix these things as soon as possible, I know it's almost never going to work, but I have to do something. Even if it's only a one percent chance, it's worth the risk. ”

Snape couldn't help but persuade him.

"You want to kill them at the same time, IMHO. I'm afraid there is no such powerful wizard or magic in the world. The more urgent you are—"

"The more you mess things up," Phoenix picked up directly, "but war always has casualties and adventures, and no one can avoid it." As for the specific plan, you don't have to worry, there is no loss for me if it fails. Compared to the loss, I think they will suffer. Dumbledore is not in my purpose, I have other ways to deal with him. ”

Snape knew that Phoenix had made up his mind and was not trying to dissuade him.

"What does that require me to do?"

"Stimulate Potter. Let's venture to guess that Potter's recent irritability is some kind of interference or something like that. He's going to be rebellious, uncontrollable, and he doesn't care much about the rules in the first place," Phoenix turned his head and smiled at Snape, "and when I get Dumbledore out, he'll be fooled." ”

"It's hard, and Potter isn't a complete idiot. Snape gave Potter a rare and unbiased assessment.

"It just takes a good plan, someone who will make him willing to risk his life to save, someone who is willing to lie for us. At least that's what I think. Phoenix looked directly at Snape.

His Adam's apple moved, and he cleared his throat and said a name: "Sirius Black." But Potter wanted to find out if Black was really being taken captive to the Ministry of Magic - he should have a way to contact HQ. ”

"There's usually no one at the headquarters, just him and a house-elf. "Phoenix gave out a piece of information that Snape didn't even know. "It's not the latest information, but I think the Order of the Phoenix has been busy for a long time. ”

"I'm going to get that elf under control?" he immediately realized what Phoenix wanted him to do.

"Yes, but not with the Imperius Curse. Blake may find out, to be quiet. ”

"Whatever I do, it means exposure, you have to think clearly. Snape didn't have the slightest fear for his safety, and his tone was calm.

"It's a nuisance, don't rush it first. It's imperative that you further tie Voldemort closer," he just wanted to know if Snape had a good idea, since he didn't. After assigning the task, Phoenix got up to take his leave, "Voldemort will definitely not sit idly by - I will let you know the follow-up." ”

He is woken up by Eden late at night, and Phoenix, a little annoyed, sees that it is carrying a letter. His mind immediately cleared up, and he took the letter and saw that it was Hermione.

Phoenix unfolded the long letter puzzled. It could be seen that Hermione was using the copy magic to make a copy.

The Minister told me that you missed a bite when you were chosen as a prefect, and I hear that you still hang out with Harry Potter a lot. I have to tell you, Ron, if you continue to fight that boy, you're in danger of losing your prefect badge. Yes, I'm sure you'd be surprised to hear this - you would no doubt say that Potter had always been Dumbledore's protégé - but I felt compelled to tell you that Dumbledore's reign at Hogwarts might not be very long, and that the authorities had very different, and perhaps more accurately, views of Potter's behavior. I won't say much here, but if you read tomorrow's issue of the Daily Prophet, you'll know exactly where the wind is going -- to see if you can be sure where you stand! I'm sorry to hear that Professor Umbridge has so far received little support and cooperation from other faculty members in his efforts to implement the changes that the Ministry of Magic has so strongly advocated at Hogwarts. But next week she'll find the job easier to do - see tomorrow's Daily Prophet.

Another letter, telling Phoenix that it was written by Ron's brother, and that she copied the important parts. He is now a special assistant to the minister. She expressed concern that Umbridge would be given more power to interfere with Dumbledore and possibly even expel him (just like in the second year!). Ask Phoenix for any suggestions.

There is also the complaining of his behavior during the day, thinking that he has gone too far. Thankfully, their teammates caught them without causing much damage, and now they have been discharged from the hospital.

At the bottom it reads: Why have you never sung to me!

Phoenix tried to reply to her in a Quidditch fan's tone, it was about the Quidditch Cup, which was not too much of a move, anyway, every time the final between the two houses broke out a large-scale conflict, he just started first. (To be continued.) )
