"That's the overall situation, Professor Dumbledore. ā
In the Black family's mansion at 12 Grimmauld Place, members of the Order of the Phoenix are gathering for a meeting.
"You're such a fool. Without waiting for Dumbledore to speak, the "missing" Sirius spoke first, "How could I have been caught and tortured by Voldemort - I mean, it is impossible for someone as steady as me to go on such a mission." ā
Snape snorted, "We don't have nonsense, Black. It's all because of your good godson, Potter, who insists that you put others in danger. ā
"It's also because you didn't teach him Occlumency well, Harry was deceived by Voldemort because he was young!" Sirius said disdainfully, "Snot, the reason why I approve of Dumbledore letting you teach Harry Potter Occlumency is because I can afford your skills in this area, but you didn't teach him well at all." ā
"It's thanks to your words and deeds, Blake. Potter wasn't a student who followed the rules, he was just as stupid and reckless as his father. Under your influence, his inclination in this regard has become stricter. With all due respect, he's not the material to learn Occlumency at all, and he's facing the Dark Lord, a master of the Celestial Mind, and I think you should have prepared a coffin for Potter sooner. ā
"What are you talking about?" Sirius stood up, "do you want to duel me?"
"If you want. Snape stood up.
"Alright, it's quiet, Professor Dumbledore hasn't spoken yet. Lupin stood up and separated the two men who looked like they were about to do it on the spot," said both of them. ā
"Yes. Dumbledore finally spoke, "Remus is right, you shouldn't be like that. His voice was not loud, but there was an unmistakable persuasiveness.
Sirius and Snape gave up, but still exchanged eyes.
"I've heard Silver say it just now, so you don't have anything to add, right?" Dumbledore looked around, everyone shaking their heads.
"Sirius, I have to ask you, is there something about you not coming back from 12 Grimmauld Place for so long?" Dumbledore said.
"I just went out and had a few drinks with my friends and then went out on a short trip. Sirius spread his hands, "I think this is normal, I'm a fun-loving person. ā
"But if you're not at 12 Grimmauld Place, we'll be inclined to think you've been captured by the Dark Lord. Snape said.
"I said no!"
"Well, I don't want to repeat it a second time, the argument doesn't help us. Dumbledore said, "I was also abroad at the time, and you couldn't get in touch with me, and you made the right decision, the Order of the Phoenix can't give up any of its members." ā
"Iā"
"Sirius, that's enough. Lupin pressed Sirius, "You just sit down." ā
"Silver says that Harry was knocked unconscious by Severus and stayed with Madam Pomfrey, so how did he find Voldemort's stronghold?" Dumbledore thought for thought.
"I'm afraid Harry's connection to the Dark Lord is stronger than we thought, Professor Dumbledore. "The Dark Lord was desperate to get Harry, and he didn't hesitate to trick Harry into coming to him by creating the illusion that the little wolf had been kidnapped, and I'm afraid Professor Snape would be merciful, and Harry would wake up for a much shorter time than we expected." ā
"I don't show mercy. Snape said, pursing his lips.
Dumbledore closed his eyes and buried his face in his slender hands. This is an anomaly.
Dumbledore lowered his hands and looked at the crowd through his half-moon glasses.
"Looks like we're caring a little less about Harry. He spoke.
"But Potter now has a very inexplicable sense of resistance, which is very difficult to do. Snape said, "I can feel that he is even a little suspicious of you, Professor Dumbledore......" (to be continued......
