Chapter 324: Helplessness and Sourness
Harry didn't go back to Professor Slughorn's party, but went straight to his dorm room and slept with a lot of heart. The next day, he returned to the Burrow with Hermione, Ron, and Ginny.
This is something that has been set for a long time, after all, compared to the old Black House, it is still more pyrotechnic. Moreover, the defense measures there are worthy of everyone's trust.
Harry loved the Burrow's environment, and so did Hermione, but Ron couldn't say it well. As soon as he returned, he was dragged by Mrs. Weasley to help out in the kitchen, where he needed to deal with a large pile of Brussels sprouts.
It's troublesome, and Mrs. Weasley doesn't like people using magic at home, so he can only use knives to get them one by one.
Thankfully, Harry decided to help him.
"What did you hear last night?" As she was dealing with it, Hermione leaned over, warmed her hands with a cup of tea, and took a sip from time to time.
This scene aroused the envy of the two, but there was no way, this was a preferential treatment for girls.
Harry sighed and told the two of them what he had heard the night before. He didn't find a chance to say anything along the way, because they came through the makeshift Floo network, which suffocated him.
"Snape said you wanted to help him? Did he really say he was going to help him? Ron grasped a key point and said with a frown.
"Yes." Harry said, "He said he promised Malfoy's mother and made an unbreakable vow......
"An unbreakable oath? That's impossible! Ron was dumbfounded, "Not Snape at all!" ”
"I'm sure I heard me right, but what does that mean?"
"An unbreakable oath cannot be broken, and if it is broken, it will die." Hermione took a sip of her hot tea and said softly, "Ron was right this time, it really wasn't like something Snape would do. ”
"However, we can also be sure that what Malfoy is going to do is very important to the Dark Lord."
"Yes, and he already has a plan, but we don't know what that plan is, and he didn't even tell Snape......" Before Harry could finish speaking, Ron interjected, "Are you going to tell Dumbledore about it?" ”
"Of course." Harry immediately nodded back, "If I see him, you know, I can't find him in the school, and I don't know if he's going to come over today. ”
"Dumbledore won't come." Hermione said, "But Lupin and Sirius will come over." ”
"That's the same with them." Harry said, "Tell Dumbledore when I see him, when he gives me another lesson......"
They chatted slowly, and the number of people in the kitchen gradually increased. The twins, Ginny, Bill, and Fleur, and by the time Mr. Weasley, Lupin, and Sirius came in, dinner was ready.
At this point, Harry finally found an opportunity to tell Mr. Weasley, Lupin, and Sirius about him, but the trio did not react the way he expected.
They all looked very calm.
"Curious, isn't it, Harry?" Sirius asked with a smile.
"Yes, how ......," Harry looked at Sirius in confusion, and then Sirius said, "because we already know these things." ”
"What!" Harry was stunned, "How do you know?" ”
"Snape said." Mr. Weasley chimed in, "At a meeting of the Order of the Phoenix. ”
"He? How could he? He's not ......"
"Dumbledore trusts him, Harry." Lupin said calmly, "And, we all have to admit that Snape did tell us a lot of information. ”
"It's hard to admit, but he did do some good things." Sirius frowned and said, "Harry, believe me, I hate that snot spirit of Snape more than you do, and I wish he really worked for the Mystic so that I can teach him a hard lesson...... But alas, he didn't give me that chance. ”
"What about Malfoy?" Harry asked.
"Malfoy? Huh......" Sirius sneered and said no more, but Mr. Weasley explained to Harry, "You don't know, do you...... Also, they won't tell the public about such a thing......"
"Malfoy Manor is already the Death Eater's stronghold, Harry."
"What!" Harry, Hermione, and Ron were all stunned when they heard this, "Then why don't you go ......?"
"Because I can't do it." Mr. Weasley sighed and said, "You don't understand, Harry, we don't have the power to break down there, neither the Ministry of Magic nor the Order of the Phoenix ......"
"Moreover, they also hid the location of the manor."
At this time, Sirius sighed and said, "Harry, you don't know a lot of things at school. In fact, it's not that we don't want to catch that bunch of guys quickly, but we can't do anything about it. ”
Looking at the three of them, who didn't look very good, Harry couldn't help but feel a little powerless. He didn't know all this, and he didn't expect the current situation to be so severe.
Suddenly, he knew why Dumbledore had been out of school this semester: he must have been dealing with all those tricky things......
"Hey, don't show that expression, it's not serious enough yet." Sirius grimaced and said with a smile, "I can't break through their base camp, but haven't you noticed that there are a lot fewer attacks outside now?" As he spoke, he glanced at Lupin next to him.
"Did you say, Moonface?"
"Ah...... Yes. "Bigfoot is right, it's just a stalemate, and it's good for us......"
After that, Lupin and Sirius talked a lot more, and they were still talking until they had left at the end of dinner. It had to be said that it worked, at least as they left, Harry had no pessimistic look on his face.
But what he thinks in his heart, only he knows.
They still slept with Ron at night, and when they woke up the next day, their bed was already piled up with many gifts, basically the same as in previous years, except for one from Kreacher that made Harry angry.
The House Elves of the Black family had always disliked him, so they gave him a box of live maggots, which exploded all over the house when Harry opened the box, and landed on the love scarf that Lavender had given to Ron.
"You really shouldn't have opened that box." Ron shook the maggots off his scarf as he helped Harry clean up the mess, a little complaining in his tone.
He's still very precious this gift from Lavender.
Looking at the rippling smile on Ron's face, Harry had a vague sense that they were serious.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a sadness in my heart:
It seems that only I am still single......
