Chapter 680: Countermeasures

Ron and Hermione listened to the gossip with a satisfied expression, and Ron earnestly asked Neville a few more questions about genetics.

"So Harry is the grandfather of the two of them." Ron snapped his fingers and counted the generations, "I didn't expect Ginny to be a grandmother at such a young age." ”

"Then Voldemort is going to call me uncle," Ron continued to count his fingers, "and then you're Voldemort's aunt." ”

Hermione angrily gave Ron an elbow triple in a row.

"I'll have to meet the two of them when I get a chance." Ron continued to fear that the world would not be chaotic, "It's a pity that they don't have until the third year to go to Hogsmeade. ”

"Now there's a chance." Neville said, "That's why I'm here. ”

Neville then pointed his wand at Harry and said, "Harry, I'm going to get down to business, don't do it until I undo it for you." ”

Harry recovered his body and moved his hands, then cleaned up Ron and said, "Say, what do you think?" ”

Neville took a cup of tea and moistened his throat, then said, "You just told me that Voldemort still has Horcruxes, and after clearing the last mystery for me, I figured out the whole thing, I'm afraid this is a game that Voldemort laid out more than ten years ago." ”

The faces of the Harry trio suddenly turned serious.

"You remember the year when Hogwarts made trouble with the basilisk, and Lockhart was finally controlled by the spirits of Voldemort's Horcruxes." Neville asked.

"You mean, the two siblings were actually ...... 'containers' that Voldemort prepared to prevent his own defeat from resurrecting again?" Hermione immediately understood what Neville meant.

Neville nodded.

"Well, Voldemort initially gave the two of them to Zhang to raise, in order to insure him in this matter, and at the same time to make Zhang think that he had a hostage in his hands. And the return of the two of them to Hogwarts was also planned by Voldemort early on. Harry analyzed, "So does Zhang know about this?" ”

"Let's call him and ask." Hermione said.

"He should be on the plane now." Harry said helplessly.

"I think ......," Neville said hesitantly, "he must have known in the first place that this was going to happen. ”

"Huh?" Harry looked at Neville curiously.

"The names of those two siblings." The corners of Neville's mouth twitched, "I've heard a few students discuss their names at Hogwarts, and in a computer game, characters named Arthas and Gianna both have one thing in common, and that is that their fathers are planted in their hands. ”

There was silence in the office......

"Looks like he's got a back hand." "He just likes it." ”

Harry pondered for a moment, then he asked Neville, "What are Hogwarts going to do, if things are as you guessed, then Voldemort's Horcruxes must be hidden in or near the castle." ”

"And the Death Eaters who showed up last night, we don't know if they were part of Voldemort's plan. Are they going to take these two siblings away like Karkaroff did when he took me away? ”

"I haven't told Professor McGonagall about this yet." Neville said, "I'd like to hear Harry's opinion first, and I'll need to see what the Ministry of Magic means about this matter." ”

Harry didn't reply, instead looking at his superiors. Hermione nodded, and she said, "I think the Auror Office has every reason to get involved in this. ”

Ron shook his head, and said, "But Hogwarts tradition is to solve internal matters, and I don't think even Professor McGonagall wants the Ministry of Magic to put its hands in Hogwarts too much." ”

"yes, Professor Longbottom." Ron finally said to Neville.

Neville nodded, "So I'll get Harry to breathe first, so I don't hurt the harmony on both sides." And if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that there will be even greater twists and turns. ”

Harry and the three of them knew what Neville meant, and if this matter wasn't resolved quickly, who knew what would happen to their politicians when they intervened in the midst of the current bipartisan struggle in the wizarding society.

As a professor at Hogwarts, Neville naturally didn't want the school and its students to get involved in political battles.

As the whip of the Wizarding Progressive Party, Hermione immediately stated to Neville that she would not use the power of the party to intervene in this matter. Because Neville's Longbottom family has a lot of weight in the original Phoenix family, which is one of the basic forces of the Wizarding Progressive Party, Hermione has to consider Neville's attitude on this matter.

On the Wizarding Power Party's side, Neville is not worried, Lao Ma and they have been drawing a clear relationship with Voldemort for the past ten years, so they will not take the initiative to jump out and make a fuss about Voldemort-related things.

Harry said to Neville, "Well, the Auror Office will not interfere in the internal affairs of Hogwarts, and I will intervene as a private person if necessary. However, outside of Hogwarts, such as inside the Forbidden Forest, the Auror office will have some arrangements. ”

"No problem." Neville nodded in agreement with Harry's offer.

At this time, Ron finished his last piece of tart, and he sighed, "You guys have a knack for complicating simple things, and I finally know why Fudge has been reluctant to admit that Voldemort has returned." But what's next for you? ”

"I have an idea." Neville said, "How about letting the two of them go to the Forbidden Forest tomorrow?" ”

Harry frowned and said, "You want them to be bait?" It's too dangerous. ”

"In his first year, Dumbledore didn't just push the three of you into the most dangerous position." Neville smiled and said, "I don't think the two of them are worse than you in the first year, and I'll follow the two of them, if you don't feel at ease, you can follow." ”

Harry thought about it for a moment and said, "Then I'll take a trip too, I haven't ventured into the Forbidden Forest in many years." However, I think we should tell them all about the cause and effect of the incident, and they have the right to choose whether to cooperate or not. ”

"No problem." Neville said, "Tomorrow and Sunday, let's leave breakfast in the morning, and we'll meet at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and we'll talk to them about things when the time comes." ”

"Then I'll bring lunch." Hermione finally said, "Think of it as an outing in the Forbidden Forest." ”

"We're not going on an outing." Ron protested.

"If we don't pretend to be on an outing, will those Death Eaters in the shadows take the bait?" Hermione asked, "If we were to surround the two of them like a great enemy, surely the Death Eaters wouldn't show up." ”

Hermione had a point, and the other three couldn't refute it.
