Chapter 830: Affectionate and Weird
Once seated, Harry moved next to Sirius, while Verlin sat in the empty seat next to Hermione, which the girl had kept for him.
"I really didn't expect to become a prefect. Hermione said excitedly, the girl's little face was still red, she raised her head to look at Van Lin beside her, and couldn't wait to share her joy with him, for Hermione, becoming a prefect is definitely for Hogwarts life. "I mean, I'm not ready, it's so sudden!"
"Have faith in yourself, Hermione, you're a Gryffindor, no, the best wizard in all of Hogwarts. "Think about it, who can stay at the top of your age every time, and in other things, whether it's knowledge or spells, you're very good, and this prefect is well deserved for you." ”
"I'm not as good as you say......"
"You're far better than I say, and better than the other prefects. Van Lin continued, gently rubbing Hermione's raised head and pressing her down again, "Dumbledore trusts you, and besides, you probably don't know how important you are at Hogwarts Hermione, even if you are put in Ravenclaw or Hefpuff, it won't be difficult for you to become a prefect. ”
"But I don't know what to do?" Hermione said, a little uneasy in the girl's words, "I think Percy seemed to have read books like 'How Prefects Gain Power,' and maybe I should have looked it up." ”
"Oh, that's too bad, you don't need anything like this, Hermione, trust me, you'll be up to it soon. Fan Lin swore and said, "If someone dares to disobey you, you will deduct points or confine him, if he doesn't listen again, you tell me to solve it, and I promise that they will not say a word." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hermione whispered, and Evan wasn't talking about prefects, but school bullies, "Hmph, if I'm locked up, I'll be the first to lock you up." ”
"Wow, you're going to take revenge. "Of course, if you're willing to take a little time with someone in confinement, I'd be happy to get into the open of the law." ”
Aside from the initial euphoria, Harry and Sirius' conversation quickly came to the right track.
However, the addition of Moody made Harry's mood even heavier.
Moody took a long sip from his flask and stared at Harry with his magic eye. "Come here, Harry, I think there's something you'll be interested in. Moody said, pulling out a tattered magic album from the pocket inside his robe.
"This is the original Phoenix Command," Moody grumbled, "and I found it last night when I was looking for the Cloak of Invisibility, and it looks like Bodhammer didn't give me back the album...... I think people might be interested in checking it out. ”
Harry held the album - there was a small group of people in it, some waving to him, some holding glasses, looking back at him.
"This is me," Moody pointed to himself nonchalantly. He was easily recognizable in the photo album, and although he had some gray hair, his nose was still intact. "Next to this is Dumbledore, and on the other side of me is De Darius Diger...... It was Malei McKinnon, and two weeks after the photo was taken, she and her entire family were killed. That's Frank and Alice Longbottom. ”
Harry felt a pang of discomfort when he saw Alice Longbottom, and although he had never touched her, Harry was very familiar with that friendly face—because it was so much like her son, Neville.
"—dastardly scoundrels," Moody roared, "for them, perhaps, it would be better to die...... That's Emilin Vance, you've seen her, it's Lupin, obviously...... Bangui Fenwick, he was also caught by them, and we found only a small part of his body...... That's it," he said, poking his hand at the photograph as the people on it moved slowly, the figures that had been somewhat blurry moving to the front. "That's Edgar Bonice...... The brother of Emilaponis, who was a great wizard, they also killed him and his entire family...... Sturgis Bodmore, ahhh......h Karadrak Del Bang, six months after this picture was taken, he disappeared and we didn't even find his body...... Hagrid, of course, he looks the same as before...... Elfi Astogo, you've seen it too, and I've forgotten that he used to wear that stupid hat...... Giden Plivet, who and his brother Fabian were heroes, fought five Death Eaters and died...... Move, move......" The people in the album pushed each other, and the person who was originally in the back right corner moved to the front. "That's Dumbledore's brother Apoforus, I've only met him once, a strange fellow...... It was Dorcasmidowes, whom Voldemort personally killed...... Sirius, still with short hair...... And also...... Come on, I think you'll like it!"
Harry's heart sank, his father and mother smiled at him, and sitting beside them was a small-eyed, confused-eyed man, and Harry immediately recognized him—Pediru—the man who had betrayed his parents to Voldemort, and he had told Voldemort where Harry's parents were hiding, causing them to be killed by Voldemort.
"Huh?" Moody froze. Harry looked up at Moody's badly disfigured, bumpy face. It was clear that Moody was frustrated by the unhappiness it had caused Harry. "That," Harry tried to crack his lips with a smile, "uh...... That, I remember, I haven't sorted it out yet......"
"Pediru is right, if your dad is here, I will definitely forgive him. Sirius, "In fact, we all know very well that Voldemort would have had everything if he hadn't offered his own thing, but the damn guy had chosen to do so. ”
"Well, it's okay, he's in Azkaban. Harry said calmly, rubbing his hand lightly against the glass of the album.
"I'm glad you think so, Harry. Sirius said, "There's always someone who gets punished, and who never gets to run." ”
Harry was about to leave, in fact, most of the people were already in groups except for Van Lin, the twin brothers and Mondigus, and Ron Ginny and Tonks.
As for Van Lin, from the very beginning, the two of them fell into a two-person world.
Harry pushed off Ron's invitation to put the album back on it, and he almost couldn't wait to leave.
He couldn't understand why the photo had shaken him so much - he had seen pictures of his parents before, after all, he had met Pediru,...... But they are so close...... No one would like it when they saw this, he thought angrily...... Also, those happy faces that surround the parents......
The Benji Fenwick, who had only a small part of his body found, Gidenprewitt, who had died like a hero, and Lamberton, who had been tortured to the point of madness......
In the photo, they will always wave happily without knowing their fate...... Yes, Moody's probably thought that was interesting...... But he ......
Harry, found annoying...... Harry tiptoed upstairs and gradually recovered himself, he slowly calmed down, but as soon as he reached the first floor, he heard someone crying in the lounge.
"Anyone?" said Harry. The crying did not stop, but did not answer him. Harry walked the remaining steps in two blocks, across the platform, and opened the door to the common room. A man huddled in a dark corner, whimpering and trembling with her wand in her hand. In the moonlight, on a dirty, old carpet, lay a corpse—it was Ron. Harry felt the air in his lungs drain - he felt the world spin - his mind was cold - Eun was dead, no, it couldn't be - wait a minute, it really couldn't be - Ron was downstairs -
"Mrs. Weasley?" Harry hissed. "Ray-Ry-Rydick Ruth!"
Mrs. Weasley whimpered, her trembling wand pointing at Ron's corpse.
"Bang" Ron's corpse turned into Bill's, with a large crack in his back, and his eyes wide open and empty—Mrs. Weasley whimpered even more.
"Funny, funny!" she added. "Bang" the corpse was Mr. Weasley again—his glasses crooked and blood dripping from his face.
"No!" screamed Mrs. Weasley. "-No...... Reddick Ruth!Reddick Ruth!Reddick Ruth!"Bang, the corpses of the twins - "Bang", Percy - "Bang", Harry's corpse......
"Mrs. Weasley, get out of here!" Harry shouted as he looked at his body lying on the floor, "let the others ......"
"What's wrong?" Lupin burst into the room, followed by Sirius, and Moody limped after. Lupin saw Harry's body on the floor from Mrs. Weasley, and immediately understood what was going on, he took out his wand and said very clearly and firmly, "Reddick Ruth!" Harry's body disappeared. Instead, there was a cloud of silver smoke, and with another wave of Lupin's wand, the silver smoke dissipated instantly.
"Oh...... Oh...... No......," Mrs. Weasley choked for a moment, buried her face in her hands, and finally burst into tears. "Molly," Lupin walked up to her and whispered, "Molly, don't ......" Suddenly, Mrs. Weasley whimpered on Lupin's shoulder.
"Molly, just a boggart," Lupin said comfortingly, patting her head gently, "just a stupid boggart......"
"I saw them die—they died at the same time!" Mrs. Weasley sobbed over Lupin's shoulder, "with ...... At the same time, I, I saw ......"
Sirius stared at where Borg was, imagining Harry's body lying there, and Moody looked at Harry, who avoided his gaze - it suddenly occurred to him a strange thought that Moody's MONOCULUS had followed him from the moment he walked out of the kitchen.
"Don't, don't tell Arthur," Mrs. Weasley choked as she wiped her tears desperately from her sleeve, "I, I don't want him to know...... It's, it's stupid......" Lupin handed her a handkerchief, and she gasped.
"Harry, I'm sorry, what do you think?" Mrs. Weasley shuddered, "I can't even handle a single boggart......
"Don't think so," Harry tried to smile comfortingly.
"I, I'm just too worried," Mrs. Weasley's tears welled up again, "family ...... Half of the members are in the Phoenix Command, and if we can all be safe, then it would be a miracle...... Copie, Percy ignores us...... What if something happens to him and I, we don't know, how do we make amends? And, in case I, Arthur and I are killed, who, who, is going to take care of Ron and Ginny?"
"Molly, that's enough," Lupin said firmly, "it won't be like last time." This time the Phoenix Command was well prepared, and we were ahead of Voldemort because we knew he was back......"
Hearing the name, Mrs. Weasley screamed softly in fear.
"Oh, Molly, listen, it's time for you to get used to hearing his name - I can't guarantee that no one will be killed in the future - no one can guarantee - but we're really much stronger than last time. You're not in the Phoenix Command, you don't understand. Last time the Death Eaters and us were outnumbered twenty to one, much more than us, so they could get rid of us one by one......"
Harry remembered the photo's bright faces in the photo—he knew Moody was still looking at him.
"Don't worry about Percy," Sirius said suddenly, "he'll be back." Now it's just that Voldemort hasn't shown up publicly - if he does, the entire Ministry of Magic will beg for our forgiveness, and I'm not sure if I'll accept their apologies, but, for sure, the initiative is still on our side. Sirius said angrily.
"As for the question of who will take care of Ron and Ginny if you and Arthur both sacrifice," Lupin smiled, "do you think we're going to make them suffer?"
Mrs. Weasley smiled tremblingly.
"I'm so stupid," she grunted, wiping her eyes.
But Harry didn't think Mrs. Weasley's idea was stupid. Ten minutes later, he returned to his room, closed the door, and could still see his parents smiling at him from the tattered photo album - neither of them realizing that their lives, like many around them, were suddenly over. The appearance of Borg's changing Weasleys' corpses flashed before his eyes in turn. The scar on his forehead burned again, and his stomach twitched violently.
"It doesn't hurt," Harry said firmly, rubbing his scar, and the pain slowly lessened. "Talking to your head, the first step of madness. A sly voice came from the blank painting on the wall. Harry ignored it. He felt more tired than he had ever felt - and he had only been worried about the joke shop and the man who had gotten the prefect's badge an hour before.
Harry jumped to his feet with the creak of the door opening, but then Harry was relieved that it was Kreacher, the house-elf of the Black family, who was in charge of the whole house, and the magical defenses on the walls could not stop him at all.
"Oh, my poor mistress, the original Black family should be inhabited by such a bunch of scum, scum, stupid betrayers, and if my mistress knew what would be the case, it was all Kreacher's fault, but Kreacher had no power to drive these people out. ”
Harry was a little angry, but he knew what Kreacher was like, and Kreacher was always like that, complaining to himself.
"The noble Black family. Harry's voice was cold, as if he had just been fished out of a deep well.
It seemed that Harry had succeeded, and he startled Kreacher, the house-elf Kreacher had reacted like this for the first time, because in addition to Sirius's words, he completely changed his facial expression, he looked at Harry carefully, and Harry stared at the floor in a daze.
Suddenly, a tingling sensation in his forehead forced Harry to touch his forehead with his hand.
Kreacher's body shrank back slightly, the rag in his hand clutched tightly, as if he was frightened by Harry.
"It's really sad that those people never know what they're doing, and they try to push the dark arts, my mistress, and the betrayal of their identity and bloodline will cost them all ......"
Kreacher was almost stunned before he reverted to his usual nonchalant appearance.
Harry was frightened by his own voice, but it felt distant, like an illusion.
Harry looked at Kreacher in question, but the damn house-elf wouldn't give him any answer, he was still repeating words that were offensive to everyone.
Harry thought he was crazy, he didn't bother with the elves' intention to return to Vanrim and them, but......
"Kreacher, can you ......"
Harry felt that he was really stupid and angry, and he really planned to ask this scolding elf for verification.
