Chapter 985: Maintenance

That night, Harris Manor, who had just returned from the apparition, saw Alan returning, and even though there was no sign of rain on them, Morgan Lefay, as a mother, hurriedly urged her children to take a hot bath, and then instructed Kreacher, who was willing to earn performance, to prepare a steaming cup of ginger tea for everyone.

"Speaking of which, Ginny didn't expect to be so brave and go on...", Daisy, who was crooked on the couch in her comfortable pajamas, muttered to Emily after taking a shower, "I didn't want to change at all when I looked at Ron like that." ”

"I'd love to change. Emily's long eyelashes twinkled, and she rested her hands on her chin a little yearningly, "I don't know what my Animagus will be." ”

Daisy rubbed Emily's hair, "Emily, you're going to pick the one that satisfies you, and you won't turn into a weasel." (Author's note: In England and Ireland, the weasel has a bad reputation as a symbol of misfortune and is even considered a bad-hearted animal.) )

Emily, who enjoyed her sister's petting, took a sip of hot ginger tea: "Alan just talked to me about the fact that Weasley has a deep relationship with the Weasley family, the surname Weasley itself is derived from the weasel, and Ginny's father Arthur's patronus is a weasel, so it's not surprising that it became this thing." ”

"I ignored her last name, I thought she liked the ferret's blonde fur..."Daisy took a few sips of hot tea, a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Daisy, you don't want to be a unicorn, don't they like you guys?" Emily put down her glass and looked up at Daisy.

Daisy frowned with some disgust: "Uh... Emily, don't you think a unicorn is like a horse with multiple horns on top of its head?... Isn't Ginny the weasel who doesn't like to be her patronus?"

"You become a unicorn and can take me for a few laps. Emily felt a little sorry.

"Then you know now why I don't want to change it!" Daisy was a little angry, and Daisy, who was nestled on the couch, rolled over, "What do you want to become?"

"I want to turn into a volcanic bat, it will never be killed, at most it can only be banished by the Patronus Charm, very safe!" Emily tilted her head and smiled at Daisy, "And if you are in danger, you can drape me on your body at a critical moment! ”

And at this time, at 12 Grimmauld Place, northwest of London, England. The members of the Order of the Phoenix, who had sent Harry to his Uncle Vernon's house, gathered in the old mansion.

On the second floor, in the living room, which had been restored to its former splendor under the care of Mr. Skillful, on a sofa flanked by two ornate glass cabinets flanked by a large fireplace, Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix were gathered together, and Mad-Eye Moody was casting some additional protective spells against the large window that overlooked the street in front of the house.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you are gathered here today, and I think you all know what it is for. Dumbledore was dressed in purple magical robes embellished with golden stars, and his sophisticated outfit looked out of place in a room surrounded by rough stone walls, "I'm sorry, Remus, I'll have to delay you a little longer when you're married, and I'll say sorry to Tonks for me... But after tonight, there won't be anything until the next concrete action, so let's make it up to her... By the way, why didn't she come in?"

"Tonks and Molly are preparing dessert for the kids in the basement kitchen. Arthur replied, "It's a little uneasy to let them go back to the Burrow alone. ”

"Don't say that, business is more important, and Dora thinks so. Lupin sat on the couch and waved his hand, "I heard in the afternoon that Alan agreed to give us permission to act in the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Hmph, isn't that kid and the Ministry of Magic very competent?!" Moody sneered gruffly, "You want us to give them permission to deal with the Death Eaters who set fire to the Muggle world, right?"

Sirius crossed his arms beside him, and he rolled his eyes as he pouted at the Mad-Eyed Man.

"It's two different things, Alasto, and it's a good thing for us, otherwise we'd have to hold back from anything," Kingsley Shacklele said calmly, "Let's hear what Dumbledore was talking about first, I don't think a single permit would have him delay Remus' wedding night." ”

Dumbledore's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "I have received reliable information from Eyeliner that the mysterious people will try to find an opportunity to attack Harry during the summer vacation, and when Harry turns 17, the place where he lives now will no longer be safe for him, so we will transfer Harry to the Order of the Phoenix before Tom and his Death Eaters find Harry." ”

"But Muggle world aside, Voldemort and his men haven't harassed the wizarding world for a long time. Sirius blurted out, and many people shuddered when they heard the name Voldemort.

"Sirius, I reminded, call him Tom or the Mystery Man, not by his first name. "Dumbledore has some serious Sirius.

Alan Harris was right to remind him that since the mystery man had returned, he might indeed be casting a spell on his fake name to find out the news. Kingsley nodded affirmatively, and Moody snorted beside him, but he didn't say much about it.

Arthur sighed, "Luckily, the mysterious man doesn't recognize his real name, otherwise it would be difficult to call him." ”

"I'm sorry, I'll take notice... But I can't help any mystery man if he casts a spell on Tom... Maybe you'll hear some orders from the Leaky Cauldron Bar?there are too many people calling Tom..."Sirius said, raising an eyebrow, "Don't we have to tell Alan? The Ministry of Magic is very powerful right now, and if Alan is willing to help..."

"I thought about the idea...... Alan actually got the news, but in the afternoon when I was confusing with him..."Dumbledore sighed, hesitated in silence for a moment, and said in embarrassment, "Alan revealed the idea of using Harry as a bait to lure Tom over himself... Then, he wanted to take the opportunity to have another real duel with Tom to make Tom realize the reality and make his movements more restrained..."Dumbledore said simply, shaking his head, and the long white beard on his chin swayed, "Although his plan has to be said to have some truth, we have to ensure Harry's absolute safety, so I had to turn him down." ”

Sirius paused, not speaking immediately, he understood that it was Allen's style to use every opportunity to achieve his goals, and he had never done anything that he was not sure of, and he would have nothing to hesitate to if he was asked to be the bait, but it was about his godson...

Kingsley got to the point and asked with some concern, "So... Albus, do you think Mr. Alan Harris is truly stronger than the Mystic Man this time?"

"Yes, Kingsley, his experience in ancient times must have been wonderful... I'll try to look up some ancient history of magic books later to see if I can find some traces of his adventures." Dumbledore said calmly, "I think Eren is better than Tom and me... And don't forget, behind him stands the founder of Hogwarts, the living founder, which is why Tom was so eager to time the attack on Harry during the summer holidays. ”

"A hypocritical, insidious and cunning politician family like Harris must not be trusted!Just like the purebloods you worked with before are now trying to put all the blame on you?" Moody's palm slapped the table, and he said loudly, "Albus, don't look down on yourself, and even if he is really that powerful, what if he cheats the founder? In order to achieve their own interests, these pure-blood families can sell anything... We didn't rely on them in the first war, and we certainly can. ”

Seeing that Moody had gone too far, Lupin couldn't help but say, "Don't be blinded by your own preferences, Alasto!"

"Alan must be worried about those Muggles, the Death Eaters are making a lot of trouble in the Muggle world... And even if he refuses, he's willing to give us permission, isn't he? Our big goal is the same..."Arthur finished speaking, and when he noticed Kingsley's gaze, Arthur's bare head turned red, and he took off his glasses, squinting and slowly rubbing the lenses on his robe.

"I think you've been bought by Harris's charming little favor. Moody's prosthetic eyes turned to stare at Lupin and Arthur as if trying to see through their minds.

Seeing that his friend was suspicious, Sirius, who already had some opinions about Moody, couldn't help but retort: "Moody, I think you are so hostile to Harris because you were taught three times by a female student who just graduated, right?"

The mad-eyed man blushed and pestled the crutch with the wand in his hand: "What kind of bastard are you talking about?!I judged right! Do you think that witch is mentally normal? I have seen too many people who are addicted to dark magic like this and finally fall into a successful dark wizard! And you actually helped outsiders deal with Dumbledore that day!"

Sirius scoffed: "We, the Order of the Phoenix, are here to deal with the mystery man! And your own spirit was not normal that day, and it seems that it has not recovered today!"

Moody stared at Sirius, "I've got a good brain..."

"That's enough!" Dumbledore stood up, his figure looking as tall and terrifying, and he overpowered everyone majestically, "If we can't unite, then we can't do anything! Alasto, you've been in the same state since that day, I'll have to test you again." ”

At Dumbledore's words, the Order of the Phoenix in the room was overwhelmed by his momentum and fell silent for a while, only the blue eyes behind the white wizard's glasses were looking at the members of the Society he had founded, and he was worried to find that many members of the Order of the Phoenix had unknowingly had too close a relationship with Harris, and even more so than with him, which made him regret that he had neglected to maintain this necessary relationship after recruiting them in the first place.

"Anyway, Alan, he's always been very concerned about Harry's well-being... I'm sure he's not going to risk Harry's life... But we can't tell him about it. Sirius defended Alan, but although he understood, after all, it was at stake for his godson Harry's safety, and he couldn't accept Alan's plan, so he clenched his fists and said, "Alan, he's always been very concerned about Harry's safety... I'm sure he's not going to risk Harry's life... But we can't tell him about it. ”

"We must keep this operation a secret, both to the Mystic and to the Ministry of Magic. Lupin's lips pursed, he believed that although he did have a close relationship with Allen, it was a private connection, and he would never reveal anything to Allen about the internal operations of the Order of the Phoenix when such a need to be explicitly required to be kept secret.

Dumbledore sighed and said, "Gentlemen, let's sit down and talk, I have a rough plan in mind, and I want to hear your views after I finish speaking." ”
