Chapter 69: The Order of the Phoenix Meeting
"Ronan, is that you?" Harry called out on the horseman's back.
The centaur carrying him replied in a low voice, "Recently, the moon in the sky has been getting redder and redder!" Mars is close to the brightest star in the constellation Scorpio today...... It's a symbol of disaster, Harry...... A catastrophe even bigger than twelve years ago. ”
"You saved us, Ronan!" Harry didn't understand the strange astrology that the centaurs believed in: "Malfoy almost killed us!" ”
"Another unicorn has been killed!" Harry's voice grew deeper as he spoke.
"The moon has changed unusually...... Ronan said a rare little more, "You humans don't notice, but we centaurs do, because we always have our eyes on the sky, and you pay too much attention to what is in front of you." So we found out that last night, there was a big problem with the moon......"
"Is it because of Malfoy?" Harry couldn't get to think of Malfoy's evil thoughts.
"No...... He is just an insignificant star in the sky, we are going to talk about the problem of the moon, the wisest high priest of the centaurs knows through astrology that an amazing evil force has sprouted on the moon, and that power is terrible! What happened twelve years ago – just made Mars light up a little. But today, the comet transits, the glow is guarded. ”
Harry saw Ronan turn his head, and Hogwarts Castle was not far away, and he said to Harry, "This is an unprecedented disaster, some centaurs think it's your own problem, but I think the stars tell us that no one can escape from this disaster, and that keeps us from telling you the secrets we learned from the stars." ”
"Let's go!" Ronan said goodbye to Harry, "Time is running out for you......"
Harry thought he was talking about breakfast at Hogwarts - because it was almost dawn! But it seems that there is more to it than that, because Ronan's face is full of a complicated expression.
"Harry, let's go! If the professor catches us, we'll be finished! Ron said hurriedly.
Hermione also took Harry's hand and said goodbye to the centaurs, and by the time they returned to Hogwarts, the sky had begun to whiten, and Harry suddenly turned back to the other two of the trio and said, "We can't just go back...... What happened today must be told to Dumbledore and the professors! Malfoy is crazy...... He's learning terrible black magic and he's killed a unicorn! ”
"Are you crazy? That would have made us all expelled! Ron couldn't believe it, was this still Harry who was in trouble with him?
"Harry is right!" Hermione agreed with Harry, "Malfoy's behavior is very dangerous, it has gone beyond bounds, and we should try to stop this as much as possible." "On Ron" they won't believe it! In the midst of the complaints, Harry dragged them to the Headmaster's office, he wanted to see if Dumbledore had returned, the castle was silent in the night, and they didn't have to worry about Filch suddenly jumping out and arresting them to see the professors - he was still in the Forbidden Forest!
And if he dared to meet the professor, Harry would tell the professors about his study of the Dark Arts, and Filch would be finished!
Harry had thought there was no one in the Headmaster's room, but as soon as he got to the corner, he saw the door of the Headmaster's room open with a bright glow of fire, and he heard many people talking, and others sobbing, whining and crying in small voices.
He heard Professor McGonagall's voice, and she reassured, "We'll find him!" ”
"No!" The sobbing voice said, "I can't find it!" The entire Ministry of Magic is gone...... When we got back there, we only dug up the dirt in the ground...... Whining! ”
"No one thought of it...... This is going to happen, Headmaster! Professor McGonagall said to Dumbledore, "I don't even know how to tell the children that there were four Gryffindors, and that Mr. Finney was at the Ministry of Magic at the time, and was there to complain about the sale of counterfeit goblin expulsion potions in Diagon Alley...... But who knew this would happen, it's just appalling, his son is in the third grade...... Gryffindor has four of these children, what do I tell them? Professor McGonagall spoke, her voice whimpering.
"I'm thinking about how to tell Harry!" An unfamiliar voice said.
Lupin...... We can tell the truth. Dumbledore's voice suddenly came out, and Lupin retorted, "But we haven't caught Pettigrew yet, and Sirius's case is ...... No one overturned the case. The Ministry of Magic is gone...... He may have to carry the hat of a murderer for a long time! If Harry is told the truth, I'm afraid he's falling into hatred, and if he doesn't, it's not fair to Harry! ”
When Harry heard this, he immediately hid behind the door, holding Hermione and Ron to himself, and listened quietly.
"There's nothing you can't tell!" It was Snape's voice.
"Everyone knows about Sirius, his restless father, James Potter's most trusted man, who followed him all day long, betrayed him, causing Voldemort to come to the door!" Snape snorted coldly, "It's just a change of that person's name......"
"Is that because Lily never trusted you?" The man named Lupin sneered.
Harry heard his mother's name, and Snape's voice trembled, "James Potter should be glad he didn't die under his best friend's minions!" Otherwise, don't wait until Voldemort! ”
There was a chaotic noise in the headmaster's room, until Dumbledore shouted, "Severus! ”
"Enough!" Dumbledore said sadly: "The tragedy of the past is not a reason for us to hurt each other, the only thing we can do is to prevent the tragedy from happening again, even though it has happened!" Ladies and gentlemen, what happened during the day at the Ministry of Magic today still awakens you? A new Dark Lord has been born...... He's even more terrible than his predecessor! ”
"Ahh Ron exclaimed.
There was the sound of rushing footsteps from inside, and a gray-haired, ragged man rushed out, but when he saw Harry, he was momentarily distracted, and then Professor McGonagall, who couldn't hide her panic when she saw the trio, she first looked around, and then scolded the trio, "Mr. Potter, if I'm not mistaken...... It's curfew and no students should be here! ”
"Go back......" her tail note trembled slightly.
"Don't I have the right to know what's going on? Harry's emotions exploded instantly, and the anger he had built up when he heard the news of his parents' deaths gushed out, Pettigrew, Sirius...... Can't I know who betrayed my parents? ”
"Harry!" Professor McGonagall was about to burst her voice.
Lupin stopped her, and he said solemnly, "He's right...... It's time for us to tell him something! ”
