Chapter 479: Principal
After listening to Darren's words, Lupin sat down on the couch, "But, but now it's impossible to do it!" β
"Yes, it's impossible now," Darren nodded, "but that doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future, as long as you and we work hard, we can definitely do it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"But until then," Darren looked at Lupin, "you have to go back and be with Tonks and wait for the baby to be born." β
"Then you ......"
"As long as there's no exposure, we're not going to move freely," Darren said, "Rest assured, Harry will be safe, and if not, you can let the rest of the Order of the Phoenix come and live here." β
Lupin thought for a moment, "The current situation is very bad, we only use the Patronus to deliver messages, and we will not ask the other party to reply, because I don't know if the other party is controlled, so for the time being, I can't find someone to help you, wait for my news." β
"If you find someone, just let him come over, and you should spend more time with Tonks."
Lupin nodded and stood up, "Wait," Darren called out to him.
"What's wrong? What else? β
"Eat, there's nothing in a hurry now, let's go back after eating."
"Oh, okay."
At the dinner table, Darren and Lupin discuss how to change the image of the werewolf in people's minds, arguing that it is necessary to change people's original impression first, which can serve Lupin as a positive example, and similarly, eliminate the scum that will create the impression of the past.
After Lupin left, Harry asked, "Are we really waiting here for Lupin to find someone?" β
"Of course, Dumbledore gave you the task of destroying the Horcruxes of the mysterious man, and now we have destroyed all the Horcruxes made of items, except for the great snake Nagini, which is the pet of the mysterious man, how do we find it?" Why don't you go and tell the mysterious man, "Excuse me, lend us Nagini for some use?" β
ββ¦β¦ Then we have to find a way! β
"It's going to be a way, but until then, we'll have to be patient, at least to make the mystery man feel like he's in control, so that he can relax and give us a chance."
ββ¦β¦ All right. Harry said smugly.
In the days that followed, the four of them hid in the house according to Darren, but fortunately there was a sparkle that could meet their daily needs, and who allowed the house-elf to apparition without restrictions.
"Impossible!" On this day, when Darren and Hermione came down from upstairs, they heard Harry yelling in the living room.
"What's wrong?"
Harry walked around the table excitedly, "Look! He said, pointing to the table.
Darren saw that on the table was a newspaper, which was supposed to be sent by Flash, and he picked it up, and it was a large photograph of a familiar hook-nosed, dark-haired man glaring at them.
The title above is:
Severus. Snape takes over as Headmaster of Hogwarts
"Oh my God!" Hermione, who was standing next to Darren, also screamed, and she grabbed the newspaper from Darren's hand and read it aloud.
"'Severus. Snape, a veteran Potions teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was appointed Headmaster today, a decision that is the most significant of several personnel changes at the ancient school. Carlo takes over, and her brother Amicus will be the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. ββ
"'I'm glad to have the opportunity to uphold our best magical traditions and valuesβ'Just kill and cut off your ears, I think!' Snape, Headmaster! Snape was sitting in Dumbledore's office, and it was incredible! Hermione threw down the newspaper and shouted.
"The other teachers won't tolerate it, McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout all know the truth, know how Dumbledore died, they won't agree to Snape as headmaster, who are the Caro siblings?" Ron asked.
"Death Eaters," Harry said, "there are pictures in the newspapers that they were at the top of the tower when Snape killed Dumbledore, so they were all Fox Friends, and," Harry pulled a chair over and said angrily, "I see that the other teachers have no choice but to stay, and if the Ministry of Magic and Voldemort are both Snape's supporters, then either stay and teach, or spend a few years in Azkaban...... It's lucky, and I guess they'll stay and try to protect the students. β
Darren nodded, "That's much better than having the Death Eaters take over Hogwarts entirely, Harry, it's rare you understand that." β
Harry, "......"
"We just saw in the upstairs window that there were a lot of Death Eaters watching the house," Darren said, "more than usual, and if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be the day to go to Hogwarts." β
Ron looked at his watch, "Are they still expecting us to go out on the Hogwarts Express with boxes in tow?" But seriously, I've been thinking about this all day, it drove off six hours ago, and it doesn't feel weird in the car, does it? β
"It's good to get used to it, we're just a year early anyway."
"yes, but it's always a year early!"
"If you'd like, maybe you could get Hogwarts to accept you back for another year next year?"
"Oh, no," Ron said, "besides, next year, who knows......"
After a while, Harry said to Darren, "I've been thinking, I- I want to go to Godric's Hollow. β
"Why?"
"I don't know," said Harry, "but, at Bill and Fleur's wedding, I heard Aunt Muriel mention a witch named Bathilda. Bathata lives in Godric's Hollow and I want to see her. β
"At this time?"
"Can't you?"
"At least wait until there are fewer Death Eaters at the door," Darren said helplessly, "and we don't know what is going on there, whether it's safe or not." β
"Yes, we have to think it through, Harry," Hermione added, "We'll have to apparition in the cloak of invisibility, and the illusion charm may also work, and the Polyjuice Potion, I think we'd better get some, Harry, and the more disguises the better......"
It just so happened that it would take time to wait for the Death Eaters to dwindle, and after a full week, they practiced apparition and transfiguration under the invisibility cloak to make sure they succeeded, and Hermione agreed to go.
And to be safe, everyone drank the Polyjuice Potion, and because the Cloak of Invisibility wasn't big enough, they split into two groups, Darren and Ron, and Hermione and Harry, and then spun together into the suffocating darkness.
When Darren's apparition appeared, he saw an alley with a dark blue sky overhead, the first stars were already shining, some houses were standing on both sides of the narrow alley, and not far ahead, the golden streetlights showed that it was the center of the village, this was Godric's Hollow, the grave of Harry's parents, and the house where he never died, where it all began.
