Immediately there was a commotion in the kitchen.

"We're getting old too!" shouted Fred and George.

"If Harry allowed to know, why can't I?" was Ron's call.

"Mom, I want to listen!" Ginny lamented.

"No!" growled Mrs. Weasley, who stood up, her eyes wide. "I absolutely forbid—"

"Molly, you can't stop Fred and George. Mr. Weasley said tiredly, "They're old enough." ”

"They're still students. ”

"But legally they are adults now," Mr. Weasley continued, still in an equally tired voice.

Mrs. Weasley's face flushed. "I-oh, well, then, Fred and George stayed, but Ron-"

"Harry and Van Lin will tell me everything you told Hermione!" Ron said eagerly.

"Y-really?" he added, uncertain, looking at Harry.

For a split second, Harry considered telling Ron that he couldn't say a word, so that Ron could experience what it was like to be in the dark, and see if he liked it.

But this despicable thought vanished the moment they looked at each other.

"Of course I will," Harry said. Ron cheered.

"Good!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley.

"Good! Ginny - go to bed!"

Jinnicole refused to leave quietly. They could hear her arguing at her mother in various ways as she made her way upstairs, and when they reached the hall, Mrs. Black's (the old lady on the wall, Sirius's mother) was deafening to join the farce.

Lupin hurried to the portrait to regain composure. Then, when he returned, closed the kitchen door, and sat back down in the chair in front of the table, Sirius began to speak.

"Oh, Harry...... What do you want to know?"

Harry took a deep breath and asked the question that had been bothering him for a month.

"Where is Voldemort?" he asked, deliberately ignoring the new round of shudders and flinching triggered by the name. "What is he doing now? I tried to follow the Muggle news as best I could, but it seemed like nothing had happened, no strange deaths or anything else. ”

"Let's just say that there have been no strange deaths until now," Sirius said, "and we can't know all of them anyway...... But we know a lot ......"

"In every way more than Fudge thinks we have in our hands," Lupin added.

"Then why did he stop killing?" asked Harry. He knew that Voldemort had murdered more than one person in the last year alone.

"That's because he doesn't want attention," Sirius said, "and it's very dangerous for him right now." His recovery wasn't as perfect as he thought it would be, you get the idea. He messed things up. ”

"Or rather, you screwed up his business. Lupin smiled with satisfaction.

"How?" asked Harry, confused.

"You surprisingly survived!" Sirius said. "No one knew he had recovered except his Death Eater followers. But you survived and became an eyewitness. ”

"And the last person he wants to alarm at the moment is Dumbledore," said Lupin, "but you immediately let Dumbledore know about it." ”

"Does that help?" asked Harry.

"Are you kidding?" said Bill bliantly, "everyone knows that Dumbledore is the only wizard that man fears!"

Van Lin frowned, for the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore was supreme, and that wasn't a good thing.

"Not really. Van Lin suddenly said, "Dumbledore's threat at Hogwarts, that is only at Hogwarts, does not mean that Voldemort is afraid." ”

"What are you talking about?" said Bill, incredulously.

"I've felt his magic, I mean, Voldemort's magic, I don't think that's a reason to take it lightly, Harry should be on his own rather than all to Dumbledore. ”

"Have you felt his magic? How did I not know about it?" Sirius said in surprise.

"How else do you think I got back? Phantom Shifter? Voldemort has a knack for locking down space. ”

"So, you're under Voldemort......"

"You should know Dumbledore's true strength, Sirius. Van Lin muttered, "By this, Voldemort's recovery period doesn't take that long, and besides, he still has ......."

"Vampire ......" Sirius suddenly remembered the targets he was following, the vampires who were frantically collecting the relics of the dark arts.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Harry, angry.

"What we're dealing with. Van Lin said, "Voldemort's plan, all ......"

"All?"

"Well, first of all, he's going to rebuild his army," said Van Lin, "and in the days gone by he commanded a large number of members, wizards and witches whom he coerced or was bewitched by him to follow him, his loyal Death Eater men, and a large number of different dark creatures. You also hear him trying to re-recruit giants, yes, they used to be one of the men's bunches too. Voldemort wasn't sure that his dozen Death Eaters alone would be able to replace the Ministry of Magic. ”

"So you're going to do everything you can to stop him from getting more followers?"

"To the best of our ability. Sirius said.

"How?"

"Well, the main job is to determine how many people really want to go back to Voldemort, and then keep them under surveillance," Van Lin said. However, this strategy proved to be very alert, or rather, very suspicious. ”

"Why?" asked Harry, puzzled.

"Because of the attitude of the Ministry of Magic," Tonks said, "look at the panic on that Cornelius Fudge when he heard that 'man' had returned. Yes, he's not going to change his position at all. He absolutely refused to believe everything that had happened. ”

"But why?" said Harry disappointed, "why is he so stupid?

"Oh, well, you're on the point," Mr. Weasley said with a twisted smile, "Dumbledore......"

"Fudge is scared of Dumbledore, you know," Donx said sadly.

"I'm afraid of Dumbledore," Harry scurried out.

"Afraid that Dumbledore will replace him," Vanlin said bluntly, "and Fudge thinks Dumbledore is plotting to overthrow him." He thinks that Dumbledore wants to get the position of Minister of Magic. ”

"But Dumbledore didn't want to—"

"Of course he didn't want to," said Mr. Weasley, "he never wanted to be Minister of Magic, and even when the old Minister Bagnod retired, many people had nominated Dumbledore to succeed him. Fudge later took over the reins, but he will never forget how much Dumbledore was loved, even though he never coveted the position. ”

"On a deeper note, Fudge knew that Dumbledore was a wizard who was far smarter and more powerful than him, and that he always consulted Dumbledore in his early years when he first took over the Ministry of Magic," Lupin said, "but now it seems that he was obsessed with power and self-serving." He liked his current position as Minister of Magic, and became more and more convinced that he was a smart man, and that Dumbledore was just a troublemaker. ”

"How could he think that?" Harry exclaimed angrily, "how could he think that Dumbledore was causing trouble—or that I was causing it?"

"Because accepting the fact that Voldemort is back means that the Ministry of Magic is going to be in big trouble that it hasn't dealt with in fourteen years of existence," Sirius said bitterly, "Fudge just doesn't want to face it." After all, it must be much more comfortable for him to deceive himself and think that Deng Liduo is lying to him. ”

"And, you should know that, Harry. "Van Lin has never been more serious, "A Ministry of Magic can never accommodate two people in power,"

"You see the problem now," Lupin said, "when the Ministry of Magic insists that there is no threat from Voldemort, it's hard to believe that he's returned, especially if people really don't want to believe it in the first place." To make matters worse, the Ministry of Magic strictly ordered the Daily Prophet not to report anything from Dumbledore, so most wizarding groups were completely unaware of anything going on, making them easy targets for Death Eaters if they used the 'Imparius' spell. ”

"But you're warning people, aren't you?" Harry asked, looking at Van Lin, Mr. Weasley, Sirius, Bill, Mundungus, Lupin, and Tonks, "aren't you letting people know about Voldemort's return?"

"As you can see, it's a very difficult thing to do. "We don't have any credibility at all, but Voldemort's power is far more terrifying than you might think." ”

"Yes," Sirius nodded, "I've been cleansed, but I'm just an Auror who has lost his voice at the Ministry of Magic, right?" Sirius said helplessly.

"And I, I'm an unwelcome guest in most societies," Lupin said, "werewolves have always been a dangerous profession. ”

"Tonks and Arthur are worse than I am, and if they don't keep their mouths, they'll lose their jobs at the Ministry," Sirius said, "but it's very important for us to have agents in the Ministry, and I'm willing to bet Voldemort will infiltrate them, but the bad thing is that the marks on my body are too obvious." ”

"We've tried our best to convince two men," said Mr. Weasley, "Tonks is here, she's one—but she was too young the last time the Order of the Phoenix was assembled, and having the Aurors on our side was a huge advantage—Kingsley Shakreportt is a real asset to us, and he's an Auror in charge of Fudge's safety, so we can get some of Fudge's movements." ”

"But if none of you get the word that Voldemort has returned—" Harry said.

"Who's to say we didn't put out the news?" Sirius said, "why do you think Dumbledore got into this trouble?"

"What do you mean?" asked Harry.

"They want to disgrace Dumbledore," Lupin said, "Didn't you read last week's Daily Prophet? They reported that Dumbledore had been voted to remove him from his position as president of the International Magical Federation because he was too old and had lost control, but that wasn't true, and that he had been removed from Wizarding Administration after making a speech announcing Voldemort's return. They demoted his wizarding rank from division - that is the highest honor for a wizard - and they are now discussing the revocation of his Order of Merlin of the first degree"

But Dumbledore said that as long as he wasn't removed from the Chocolate Frog's collection card, he didn't care what they did. Fred said with a smile.

"It's not funny," Mr. Weasley said sharply, "if he continues to openly rebel against the Ministry of Magic like this, he'll probably have to spend the rest of his life in Azkaban, and the last thing we can do is lock up where Dumbledore is." If that person knew that Dumbledore was back on the battlefield, he would have acted cautiously. If Dumbledore leaves the battlefield,—— oh, that person will be unscrupulous. ”

"But if Voldemort is going to recruit more Death Eaters, then news of his return is bound to leak, isn't it?" asked Harry disappointed.

"Voldemort won't break down in broad daylight, Harry!" Van Lin shook his head, "he deceived, cursed, blackmailed them. He is an expert in secrecy. In any case, recruiting followers is something that interests him very much. He was also making plans that would make his actions virtually silent, and he was following them at the moment, like the vampires, who we wouldn't even know about the involvement of such ancient creatures if it weren't for some accident, and ......"

Van Lin didn't go on, it was clearly out of range.

"What will he do next besides those followers?" Harry quickly asked. He thought he saw Sirius quickly exchange glances with Lupin before answering.

"Replenish supplies through secret channels. Sirius said, "Like a weapon or something older." There were some things he didn't have last time. ”

"Before he gets stronger?"

"Yes. ”

"What kind of weapon?" said Harry, "is it something worse than the Avada Curse——?

"Enough!" said Mrs. Weasley, in the shadows by the door. After sending Ginny upstairs, Harry didn't notice that she had returned. She crossed her arms and looked very annoyed.

"Now I want you to go to bed. All of you. She looked at Fred, George, Ron and Hew and added, "Including you, Van Lin!"

"You can't order us—" Fred began to protest.

"Look at me. Mrs. Weasley growled. She stared at Sirius with a shudder. "You've told Harry enough. Anything more, it would have been more straightforward for you to bring Harry into the Phoenix Command Organization. ”

"Why not?" said Harry quickly, "I'm going to join, I'm going to join, I'm going to fight!"

"Nope. "This time it wasn't Mrs. Weasley who spoke, it was Lupin. "The Phoenix Command is made up of official wizards over the legal age, and Van Lin is Dumbledore's charter, in fact, his ability is obvious to all, as an adult wizard, Van Lin is not inferior at all. ”

When Fred and George wanted to speak, Lupin added. "It's dangerous to be involved without any idea, any of you...... I think Molly is right, Sirius. We can't say enough......"
