Chapter 297: The Demon King Begins to Act
"Draco." Brie travels to Slytherin and finds Draco.
"Christmas is about Christmas, because this year's out-of-school students won't be leaving, so Hogwarts has decided to hold a dinner party, and some officials from the Ministry of Magic will also attend."
"You find a few other prefects to record the list of people staying in the school together, and hand it over to me at noon tomorrow."
Draco furrowed an eyebrow, that wasn't what he had heard.
"Aren't the purebloods out there coming, isn't this a dinner party they promote?"
Draco finished speaking, with some disdain in his eyes.
A group of guys who see the stitches, are those from other schools really fragrant and sweet?
Draco didn't think so.
"Students can participate, you understand Draco."
Draco understood instantly, but other doubts followed.
"Oh, what are you doing, I don't believe you were kind enough to let those guys get in touch with their own family affairs in advance."
Brie smiled.
"I just don't want the Death Eaters to infiltrate Hogwarts, not to give the snakes a chance."
"Uh-huh, you're right." Draco didn't believe it, maybe Brie was just trying to get some ideas out of those little snakes and make some trouble for his own family.
β¦β¦
As Brie traveled to the four academies to finish processing the personnel records, at noon the next day, Brie received four full lists of students to stay at the school.
A rustling sound slipped through Brie's fingertips, and Brie handed the list to Draco in front of him.
"Get it to Principal McGonagall for me."
Draco took it.
"You'll let me do something." He glanced at the list, and there were all pure-blood families on it, and the worst of them were half-bloods, and there were fewer Muggle wizards.
Waiting for Draco to leave, Brie finished his work.
Tomorrow he has no classes, so he has to help Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout decorate the Christmas party, and the day after tomorrow it will be Christmas.
Brie has her Christmas presents ready and doesn't have to worry about it.
Brie picked up a newspaper β
Grindelwald decides to run for the new president of the International Wizarding Federation......
There are many comments from industry veterans, and most people think it's ridiculous, because Grindelwald did a ridiculous thing, which was a shame for the chairman's election meeting, and a witness to Grindelwald's brutality.
The specific matter was not revealed, as if everyone had deliberately concealed it.
Brie also found no mention in the book.
"Grindelwald is ready to do it." Brie is sure to be authentic.
He should also be ready, and now that the planting of natural trees is gradually underway, he only needs to put the finishing touches on Arbor Day.
He needs to focus on the three demon kings.
"What will Grindelwald do, he won't go down the old path."
Grindelwald's original slogan was to let wizards enslave Muggles and create a wizard-dominated world.
But it failed, but his goal will not change, and will only be achieved by more radical means.
"Maybe he will cross the wizarding world and break the wizarding secrecy law in advance, so that Dumbledore and the wizarding world who still have a fluke mentality can't react."
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
At this time, a voice came from outside.
"Please come in."
It's a student of XZ Academy-Fufu.
"This is my first private meeting, Professor Ode." Fubu stepped into the corner tower and said to Brie stiffly.
Brie nodded.
"You're a little different from a few years ago, I remember a few."
"People always grow." Fubu smiled slightly.
His face changed and he cut straight to the point: "Some of you have sent us some messages through some young wizards, and they want to make some agreement with us. β
"The specific content has not yet been decided, but the intention to cooperate is very strong."
Seeing that Brie didn't care very much, Fu Bu said, "It has something to do with Hogsmeade Village, and it seems that they are fighting the idea there." β
Brie lowered his eyes slightly.
"Hogsmeade Village is not Hogwarts property, it is wizarding territory, and purebloods occupy a large part of it."
Fubu pursed his lips, he felt that Brie was letting go, who would let outsiders control the territory near him.
"You can go back, Fubu, I guess Christmas is what you should be thinking about."
"Okay, then bother."
Fubu left, and Brie took out his notes and wrote on themβ
Tom, let Verle close the shop in Hogsmeade, I didn't expect Voldemort to be so bold as to use Hogsmeade as a target.
Of course, now that you've just joined the Order of the Phoenix, it's not time for you to make a move.
β¦β¦
Brie was also helpless, and Voldemort knew very well that he would not attack him.
"Voldemort is suspicious of me, too."
The three demon kings were suspicious of themselves, but there was nothing he could do, Brie smiled knowingly.
"Having mastered their weaknesses, even if they know that the road ahead is confusing and dangerous, they will move forward without hesitation."
Brie cleaned up the table, began writing greeting cards, and sent the gifts out with an owl.
β¦β¦
In the blink of an eye, Christmas arrived as scheduled, and the party was set in a special setting, full of silver and green satin, gorgeous, and every corner was full of bright flowers, and the transparent ceiling was full of snowflakes.
The whole hall is like a small flower garden in the open air.
"Oh, that's beautiful." McGonagall led the four deans into the hall, and she exclaimed.
"Professor Snape, I'm tired of you managing discipline." McGonagall was dressed in a dark purple lady's wizarding robe, the satin of the tweed was very plain, but the dark flowers on it were exquisite.
It was Brie who sent it.
"I'll go to the teacher's seat, I don't think Professor Newt can handle it alone." McGonagall frowned slightly, but it would be nice for Newt to speak normally in front of the Colonel.
Newt was a shy old man, and everyone knew that during this time.
Each dean was dressed in new clothes, and it was obvious that they were out of the same store.
Brie was dressed in a wizard's robe with silver stripes on a green background, and he was already 1.75 meters tall with thick-soled Martin boots.
"Then I want to take my leave, I want to find a quiet place to spend the whole dinner." Brie chuckled, glanced at Snape, who had a stinky face, and left.
Professor Flitwick wears a blue wizard's robe, Professor Sprout wears a yellow wizard's robe, and Snape is red.
No way, who made Snape the acting dean of Gryffindor.
It could be seen that he hated this dress very much.
He was able to wear it thanks to Harry.
After the clothes were delivered, it was Harry who sent them to Snape, and the two argued, and Snape couldn't put on his face.
This was arranged by Professor McGonagall, and Brie didn't want to be the villain.
Brie came to a quiet window, leaned against the railing on the outer rim, and silently looked at the dance floor in the hall.
It was windy outside, but Brie used a spell to keep the cold wind and snow out.
He felt the notes in his arms fluctuate slightlyβ
"Voldemort is on the move?"
Brie asked Nicol to withdraw from Hogsmeade, but Tom still had some shadows left behind to keep an eye on.
"Ahh At the dinner, a groan of pain was heard, interrupting the Ministry of Magic officials and Colonel personnel who were talking.
All eyes looked at it.
Ah, it's Snape and Harry, and that's fine.
The dinner party was back to its original hustle and bustle.
At today's dinner, Draco's father, an important official of the Ministry of Magic, was walking with Draco in the direction of Brie.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Ode."
Lucius didn't call Brie Mr. Ode Jr., because he had already seen who was in charge of the Ode.
However, he did not underestimate Tom on this, Tom's wrist he knew and admired.
"Mr. Lucius." Brie greeted Lucius, but the conversation was interrupted by something at the dinner.
Draco pouted, "Attention-grabbing Potter wants some news everywhere." β
Brie smiled at Draco's words, and Lucius tapped Draco's shoulder with the Serpent's Scepter in his hand.
"Don't say something ungraceful, Draco."
"Got it, Dad."
Brie didn't look at Draco's aggrieved little face, he was more curious about Snape's state at this time.
In front of Harry, Snape was stinking.
"Potter, if you're teasing your dean, then you've succeeded."
Looking at the way Harry covered his forehead with pain, Snape didn't see a trace of pity, only coldness, and he continued in a cold tone.
"Now, you're pretending to be a normal student and stay away from me."
"Shhh
Ron and Hermione tried to come up and hold Harry, but Snape got the first step.
Snape touched Harry's forehead, and he felt a breath of dark magic.
Snape looked over the windowsill and saw Brie's gaze, and immediately said viciously to Harry, "Come with me." β
With that, he threw Harry into Ron and Hermione's hands like garbage.
Ron and Hermione also heard Snape's words, and Ron wanted to take Harry away from Snape, but Hermione immediately said, "Don't be petty, Harry needs the Professor's help." β
That's why Ron took Harry to follow Snape.
The episode at the dinner didn't attract much attention, and the core of the banquet was the Ministry of Magic's discussions with the pure-blood families and the Outer Colonels.
"Ode, look at this kid." Snape grimaced, he wouldn't say that he just saw something and couldn't fix it.
Even if his Occlumency could cure Harry's problem, he was reluctant.
McGonagall saw what was going on with Harry, understood what was wrong, and immediately walked over.
Brie said to Snape, "I'm sorry, Professor Snape, but I think Headmaster McGonagall talked to you about Harry. β
Lucius and Draco looked meaningfully at Snape and Harry, covering his forehead like a dream, examining them with interest.
Snape's eyes narrowed.
McGonagall stepped forward and touched Harry's forehead.
"Potter?"
"How are you?" McGonagall asked Harry about it, but Harry just covered his head and didn't speak.
McGonagall frowned at Brie, she wasn't very familiar with magic.
Brie had no choice but to use her magic to pull Harry out of her dream.
"Ahh Uh-huh...... Brie sealed Harry's mouth just in time to stop him from screaming.
After a few seconds, Harry regained his composure, sweating profusely.
Brie unravels the spell, adding a layer of sound barrier to the surroundings.
Harry hurriedly said, "Voldemort, it's Voldemort, he's taking the Death Eaters with him!" β
"Mr. Arthur, Mr. Arthur is injured, quick, at the Old Blake House!"
"Ahem, ahem!" As if frightened, Harry coughed incessantly, his eyes reddening.
"Quick!"
"What, Harry, what did you say!" Ron grabbed Harry's robe and questioned loudly.
Snape frowned, and McGonagall waved her wand for the first time.
"Buzz!" The phoenix suddenly appeared and landed on the guardrail.
"Go tell Dumbledore that Voldemort showed up with the Death Eaters, and now Arthur Weiss is in danger, in the old Blake!"
The phoenix swished and disappeared into flames.
The situation here drew the attention of the halls, but with Brie's barrier, they couldn't hear what was going on.
Brie seemed to sense something, and he pulled out his notes.
Soon a small teleportation circle appeared.
"Nagini, go to the Black Lagoon."
"Yes, sir." A female voice came out of Nagini's mouth, who had regained consciousness due to her long-term study of natural magic, but was still trapped in a blood curse and could not turn back into human form.
Nagini walked away along the guardrail.
Here, Professor McGonagall asked about Harry with concern, but all Harry said was that Voldemort had broken into Black's house with the Death Eaters.
McGonagall asked, and she immediately said to Snape, "I know about you, Professor Snape, but the child is innocent, can you help him?" β
Professor McGonagall looked expectantly, her eyes fixed on Snape's nonchalant eyes.
"Dumbledore said that only you can help Potter fend off Voldemort's influence."
Snape faltered.
At this time, Brie walked up to Snape and whispered to Snape, "Miss Lily Yinwans's magic affected Harry, and part of Voldemort's soul is in the scar. β
Brie was sure that Dumbledore didn't tell Snape that Harry was a Horcrux, and just hoped that Snape could help Harry, but there was no sense of crisis, and Snape didn't care how much Potter suffered.
Snape's eyes widened, the first time he had shown such an expression in public.
He immediately suppressed his emotions and said coldly to Harry, "Go to my office and wait for me." β
Harry was at a loss, but he knew that it was Brie and Dumbledore who had found him a helper, and Ron was worried about his father and didn't know what to do.
Hermione pursed her lips and grabbed Harry.
"I'll take you there, Harry." Hermione pulled Ron and quickly headed towards Snape's office.
"Tell me clearly, Ode, Potter is ......" Snape glanced around, Professor McGonagall didn't know what was going on, she was just a messenger and quickly left the place.
Here, Lucius is also very discerning, and only Draco, who wants to know about Harry's scandal, pretends not to understand the situation.
"Let's go, Draco."
ββ¦β¦ Yes, Dad. β
After only Snape and Brie were left on the windowsill, Brie told Harry that Harry was a Horcrux, explaining what a Horcrux was.
"Horcruxes flying away from death!"
"Voldemort's doppelganger!"
