"Yes," Lupin nodded, "Arthur heard rumors that they tortured Scrimgeour before killing him, and if so, he didn't say it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Darren looked at Harry and saw that the other party was also looking at him, as well as Ron and Hermione, apparently this guy didn't expect that Scrimgeur's last act was to try to protect those who refused to cooperate with him, and that Neville's parents were still living in St. Mungo......

"The Death Eaters searched the Burrow," Lupin continued, "and then interrogated our non-leavers for hours, and they wanted to hear from you, Harry, but of course, no one knew you were there except for the Order of the Phoenix. ”

"While the wedding was being disrupted, more Death Eaters broke into every family in the country that was connected to the Order of the Phoenix, and no one died, but the gang was rude and burned Dedarlo. Digo's house, but you know he's not there, and they used the Hearts Curse on the Tonks, and they are also trying to find out what happened to you after you went to their house, and they are fine...... Obviously a little weak, but otherwise fine. ”

"The Death Eaters broke through all those protective charms?"

"You must understand, Harry, that the Death Eaters now have the entire Ministry of Magic behind them," Lupin said, "they can use brutal magic without fear of being discovered and arrested, they break through all the protective charms we have cast, and when they come in, they make no secret of their intentions. ”

"Did they make any excuse for torturing Harry?"

"Hmm," Lupin hesitated, pulling out a folded copy of the Daily Prophet.

"Look," he said, pushing the newspaper from the table to Harry, "you'll find out sooner or later, anyway, that's their excuse for hunting you." ”

Harry unfolded the newspaper, and a large photo of him filled the front page, with a few large words protruding from the photo, "Wanted to track down Albus. Dumbledore's cause of death".

"I'm sorry, Harry." Lupin said.

"So, the Death Eaters also control the Daily Prophet?" Hermione asked angrily.

Lupin nodded.

"But people must know what's going on, right?"

"The coup was smooth, almost silent," Mr. Lupin said, "and the official explanation for Scrimgeur's murder was that he resigned." ”

"Why didn't Voldemort proclaim himself Minister of Magic?" Ron asked.

Lupin smiled, "He doesn't need it, Ron, he's actually the minister, why sit behind a desk in the ministry?" His puppet Hinkenis handles the day-to-day business, allowing Voldemort to extend his influence beyond the Ministry. ”

"Many people naturally speculated about what had happened, and the policy of the Ministry of Magic had changed so much in the past few days that they privately said that Voldemort must have been behind it. But herein lies the problem, they just say it in private, they don't dare to communicate with each other, they don't know who can believe it. They are afraid to speak out for fear that their families will be persecuted if the suspicions are true. Voldemort was very clever in this move. Declaring a usurpation may provoke open revolt, but hiding behind the scenes can create confusion, suspicion, and fear. ”

Hearing this, Darren raised his eyebrows, this is one of the evil consequences of the Order of the Phoenix never cooperating with the Ministry of Magic, and it has no access to relevant resources, and it should be Voldemort and the Death Eaters who were originally in this state.

"A significant change in the policy of the Ministry of Magic," said Harry, "also includes keeping the wizarding world wary of me and not Voldemort?" ”

"It's really part of it," said Lupin, "it's a trick, and after Dumbledore's death, you, the boy who never died, will inevitably become a symbol and a call to fight against Voldemort." And by suggesting that you have something to do with the death of an old hero, Voldemort can not only offer a bounty for your capture, but also sow the seeds of doubt and fear among the many who might have defended you. ”

"At the same time, the Ministry of Magic began to investigate Muggle offspring." Lupin pointed to the Daily Prophet, "2nd edition. ”

Hermione flipped through the newspaper, "'Muggle Origin Register,'" she read, "'The Ministry of Magic is investigating the so-called 'Muggle Origins' in order to find out how they possess magical secrets. ’”

"'Recent research from the Department of Mysteries shows that magic can only be inherited through the fertility of wizards. Thus, without verifying the wizarding ancestry, it is possible that a person of so-called Muggle origin had acquired magical abilities through theft or violence. ’”

"'The Ministry of Magic is determined to eradicate these misappropriations of magical abilities, and to that end invites every so-called Muggle-born person to appear in front of the newly appointed Muggle-born Registration Committee.' ”

"People won't allow that to happen." Ron said.

"It's happened, Ron," Lupin said, "and Muggle-born people have been arrested while we're talking. ”

"But how could they 'steal' magic?" Ron asked, "What a nervous disorder." If you could steal magic, there wouldn't be a Squib, would you? ”

"I understand," said Lupin, "but you must prove that you have at least one close relative of wizard blood, otherwise you will be considered to have illegally acquired magical abilities and will be punished." ”

Ron looked at Hermione and said, "What if purebred and half-blood wizards swear that someone of Muggle origin is their relative?" I can tell everybody that Hermione is my cousin, and Darren ......."

"Thanks, Ron," Darren interrupted Ron and turned to Lupin, "what are you going to do?" ”

Lupin looked at Harry, "The Order of the Phoenix has the impression that Dumbledore has left you with a mission. ”

"Yes." Harry replied, "They know they want to come with me." ”

"I guess I can still be of some use to you, you know who I am and what I can do. I can walk with you, provide protection, and not tell me what you're doing. Lupin said immediately.

"Thank you very much, but is it just you?" Darren asked.

"What's wrong?"

"What about Tonks? You're married! You're going to come with us, what does she think? ”

"Tonks would be safe," Lupin said, "staying at her parents' house." ”

"By the way, Remus," Darren suddenly remembered something, "Tonks lives at her parents' house?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"You haven't bought your own house yet, have you?" Now Lupin is not short of money at all.

"Oh, yes, what's wrong?"

"Then why doesn't Tonks live there? You ......"

"All is well," Lupin said stereologically.

"That ......"

After a moment of silence, Lupin said in a misguided tone, "Tonks is pregnant. ”
