Holy Grail 6 (Reversed): What has happened.

、

Hogwarts Room of Requirement

、

"Say so......"

Hermione rubbed her temples and tried to deduce an outcome from Harry's statement, "After Crouch attacked Victor and Opal saved him, who took advantage of this time to strike again...... That's understandable, right? ”

"That's right, Krum's words prove it."

Harry nodded, "The question now is who the attacker who popped up out of nowhere. ”

Honestly, he thinks it's a good chance of being a Death Eater - but the problem is that it's Hogwarts! If the Death Eaters could really enter the confines of Hogwarts so easily, Voldemort would have dominated the wizarding world long ago.

"Is it possible that there are no other attackers, but Victor was just mistaken for a moment?"

Hermione came up with this hypothesis.

"I don't think so."

But then Harry shook his head and pushed this assumption down, "You haven't seen Crouch turn at the time, he looks weak - I don't think he can strike again after being stopped by Opal, and take Opal to change his shadow somewhere else." ”

"It's impossible to apparition on Hogwarts grounds, how many times have I told you?"

Rolling her eyes, Hermione couldn't help but complain.

"Hypothesis, just hypothesis, I just ruled out this possibility."

Scratching his hair, Harry was a little helpless - now that Hermione had finally begun to ignore him again, he didn't want to Hermione off again.

After all, he used the name of "Opal" to fish Hermione out this time. (Celestial: Harry, what the hell do you think of Opal and Hermione?!) ）

"I'm tempted to say I'm worried, but considering that the person who seems to have 'had an accident' right now is Opal......"

Pinching her chin, Hermione thought for a moment before shrugging, "No matter who that attacker is, what if I suddenly want to light a candle for the other party?" ”

"Trust me......"

After hearing Hermione's words, a row of black lines instantly appeared on the back of Harry's head, "You're not the only one who thinks this way. ”

Worried about Opal?

Maybe you will be worried at first, but considering that Opal's character is used to pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he still has strength...... Harry suddenly felt that it might be the attacker to worry about.

May Merlin bless him, Amen! (Tenyin: What's wrong?!) ）

After discussing the matter and deciding to inform Siris of the matter the next day, Harry and Hermione's attention naturally turned to the third event that would soon be played.

Obviously, this third project is a maze adventure, and it shouldn't be possible to have only a maze without the monsters that inhabit the maze, so finding targeted spells and combat spells became a priority.

Although Opal had systematically trained Harry, after all, Harry had little experience in fighting people, and most of his usual experience was to fight with Draco and them, so he was still a little uncertain.

But now Hermione is helping him......

Glancing at Hermione, who was looking down and seriously flipping through the spell book to think about the appropriate spell, Harry couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

Forget it, that's pretty good, isn't it?

、

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Harry was woken up by Hermione, who had gotten up early, and the two of them slipped out of the castle in Harry's cloak of invisibility, and hurried to the owl's shack to send a message to Siris.

However, because they had gone early and the owls had not yet returned from foraging, they could only stand there and look out at the foggy grounds, and both Harry and Hermione had puffy eyelids and pale faces—after all, they hadn't slept most of the night last night studying spells.

"Speaking of which, I'd like to confirm ......"

Purely to pass the time, Hermione looked at Harry and said, "What the hell did Mr. Crouch say?" I always felt that there should be some clues hidden in those words......"

"I told you, he was incoherent at all."

Harry said, "Say give Dumbledore a heads-up." He must have mentioned Bertha Jorkins, who seemed to think she was dead, and insisted that it was all his fault...... He also mentions his son. ”

"Anything else?"

"What else can he say in that state of insanity?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Harry closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Half the time he seems to think his wife and son are still alive, and he always talks to Percy about work and gives Percy instructions. ”

"I think you seem to have said he mentioned that man?"

"Well, naturally."

Harry felt depressed at the mention of Voldemort, "He said the man was getting stronger. ”

Ice.

Either way, it's not a good thing to know that Voldemort is getting back strong.

After being silent for a while, Hermione let out a breath and diverted the subject: "But he was already insane anyway, so I guess this is crazy and can't be believed." ”

"I'd love to think so, yes. But...... The mention of Voldemort was when he was at his most awake. ”

Harry couldn't help but sigh as he said this, "He couldn't speak coherently at the time, but he seemed to know where he was and what he wanted to do. He kept saying he wanted to see Dumbledore. ”

As he spoke, Harry walked away from the window and looked up at the rafters on the roof. Half of the perches were empty, and from time to time an owl swooped in through the window, beaking a vole caught in the night.

"If it weren't for the delay caused by Professor Snape on the way, maybe I could have arrived earlier......"

Although he knew that Snape would not harm him, Harry, who was still very cautious about his many difficulties, said indignantly, "In the end, his face was sadder than mine...... If it weren't for ...... Forget it, you have to bear with those who are frustrated in love. ”

"You can only talk about it now."

Hermione couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Anyway, the reason why he embarrassed you was those things back then." At least we all know that if you are in danger, he will definitely protect you. ”

"That's what makes it even more unbearable, right?"

At this time, Harry saw that his Hedwig had flown back, and hurriedly beckoned it over, "Seriously, I think we need to meet Professor Moody, at least to confirm...... Well? Who's coming? ”

"Who knows...... Came to the owl shed so early? ”

Hermione couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously wanted to unfold Harry's invisibility cloak, but he grabbed his hand and stopped her: "No problem, this voice should be twins......"

Two very similar voices were arguing, getting closer.

"-That's blackmail, we're going to get into a lot of trouble-"

"We've tried the polite way, and now it's time to be a villain, to people like him. He didn't want the Ministry of Magic to know what he was doing—"

"I'm telling you, if you write this down, it's blackmail!"

"yes, if we can make a fortune, you won't complain, will you?"

The door to the owl's shack was slammed open, and Fred and George stepped through the threshold to see Harry and Hermione, both of whom froze.

"What are you doing here?" X2

Fred and Hermione said in unison.

"Send the letter." X2

Harry and George replied in unison.

"At a time like this?" X2

This time it was Hermione and Fred's turn to speak in unison again. (Tianyin: I don't know why I feel like laughing...... ）

"Okay, okay......"

Just when the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, Fred suddenly grinned and glanced at Harry and Hermione meaningfully, "Okay - we don't ask you what you're doing, and you don't ask us." ”

"Huh?"

Harry was stunned and followed Fred's teasing gaze before realizing that he was still holding Hermione's hand - and Hermione reacted by throwing their hands away.

At this time, Harry glanced quickly at the letter in Fred's hand, but his hand moved unintentionally or intentionally, covering the name on the envelope.

"Alright, I'm not in your way."

Fred bowed pretending and pointed to the door.

"But wait......"

Obviously, Hermione, as a good boy, still remembered what she had just heard, "Who are you going to blackmail?" ”

The smile on Fred's face vanished.

Harry saw George glance at Fred, then smiled generously at Hermione, "Don't be stupid, I'm kidding." ”

"Who are you fooling?"

Hermione is gone-is this treating her as an idiot or a tricky little doll?!

"Okay, okay......"

Spreading his hands, Fred looked helpless, "Actually, Opal asked me and George to send her a letter, but I'm discussing with George whether to use this matter to exchange some change with the young master of the Malfoy family......"

"Opal?!" X2

This time it was Hermione and Harry who spoke together, and Harry then hurriedly said, "Have you seen Opal?" When did this happen?! ”

"What's so strange about meeting Opal?"

Fred gave Harry a strange look, "She was the one who woke me and George up this morning with a two-way mirror. Why do you think we came to the owl shed so early in the morning? ”

"This morning?!"

Harry confirmed with some incredulity.

"Yes, although the face doesn't look good, it may be that you got up too early."

Fred nodded, "It turned out that George and I were asked to help prepare a lot of things for the owl to a very strange address...... Forget it, who made her our big customer......"

Although he was worried about whether she was injured, Opal said no, just a little sleep deprived. And the things he and George helped make were bits and pieces, not pranks—but why was the address at Prince Manor?! Isn't that the old bat's home?!

After getting Fred's affirmative answer, he and Hermione exchanged glances, and finally breathed a sigh of relief - Opal's disappearance was last night, but if Fred had seen Opal this morning, it would mean that she had returned safely.

As for what happened to her and how she came back, as long as she can meet her, it will naturally be clear.

"Why are your expressions so strange?"

Instead, Fred looked at Harry and Hermione's performance, and keenly noticed that something was wrong, "Could it be that George and I don't know what happened...... Something interesting? ”

"Either way, blackmailing people is just not right."

It was Hermione's persistence - she was relieved to know that Opal was fine, but ...... She couldn't pretend that she hadn't heard the blackmail or something, "even if the other party was a Slytherin...... You're going to get into big trouble if you do that. ”

"I'm joking."

George walked over to Fred, pulled out the letter in his hand, and tied it to the leg of the nearest owl, "Speaking of which, Miss Granger, you speak a bit like our dear brother now...... If you continue like this, you might even become a superior! ”

"Will you listen?"

Hermione felt like she couldn't pretend she hadn't heard the teaser.

"What do you say?"

Carrying the owl to the window, George let it go and turned around and smiled at Hermione - and if Harry hadn't stopped him quickly, Hermione might have been ready to pounce and bite.

"Okay, Opar's request has been completed, and now what we have been preparing for a long time should be fine?"

"That's right, although it's a pity that I can't make extra money...... But forget it, the requirements can't be so high......"

Fred and George left the owl shack with a word, while Harry and Hermione looked at each other.

"Why don't we contact Opal first?"

After a few moments, Hermione whispered, "I always thought they knew something. ”

"Opal may know, but the twins probably won't."

After thinking for a moment, Harry affirmed, "If they knew something terrible, they would have told someone else, I'm sure of that." But I didn't expect them to have such a good relationship with Opal......"

Opal is looking for them, not himself?!

The realization hurt Harry.

"Forget it, when I see Opal, it will naturally come to light."

Hermione withdrew her gaze from the window where the owl watching Fred and George fly out, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast." ”

"But don't you think it's too early to go to Opal?"

Hermione couldn't help but ask as they walked down the spiral staircase.

"It's a bit ...... At least until there's no one......"

Harry nodded, "But I guess it's impossible to go to Professor Moody right now - if we wake him up just after dawn, he'll blow us out." So it's better to wait until the end of class. Go to Professor Moody first, then to Opal......"

He's got a lot of questions.

"It's fine."

Hermione nodded, "I don't know exactly what happened, but I always felt that there was something evil about it...... I wish it would be better if nothing went wrong. ”

It's better not to really have anything to do with Voldemort......

Isn't that the safest place to be at Hogwarts? If it was so easy to be invaded from the outside, wouldn't they, the students, have to worry about their own safety first?
