Chapter 151: Where Did the Godfather Go?
"Bang-" Duke Honey's door was suddenly opened. The Ministry of Magic Aurors rushed in
"Everyone leave Duke Honey at once!" The first person is none other than Fudge
"Uncle Fudge? What happened? Ivy asked
"Ivey, have you ever seen a black dog in Hogsmeade?" Fudge asked
"Yes, but it was a long time ago. Any questions? Ivey pretended to think about it
"Hmm~ Help me organize your classmates to leave first, it's inconvenient to say more now." Fudge glanced at the young wizards who were talking
"Okay" Ivy nodded, then turned around, "Everyone go out with me first, the Ministry of Magic will conduct a thorough investigation of Duke Honey." β
Ivey's words are still relatively easy to use. Everyone also gave face and walked out of the candy store in an orderly manner.
"Professor Lupin, I have something I want to make sure with you" Fudge stopped Lupin as he walked towards the door.
"Good"
"Uncle Fudge, we'll go out first." Ivey said
"Well, thank you for your cooperation," Fudge said first. Then he turned to the Aurors, "Give me an inch-by-inch search!" Find the exit to the secret passage as soon as possible! β
"Roger!"
When Ivy and the others came out, they found that the entire Duke of Honey was surrounded by people from the Ministry of Magic.
"Uncle Barty?" He saw another acquaintance
"Ivey, take your friend away. It's very dangerous here. Barty said
"I know"
Several people squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and hid in a remote corner.
"So many Dementors," Betty looked at the sky. At this moment, high in the sky, dense Dementors floated around the candy store.
"Oops! The Cloak of Invisibility is useless against Dementors! Harry, heβ" Hermione exclaimed suddenly
"It's okay," Ivy patted her on the shoulder, "Dumbledore won't allow Dementors to enter Hogwarts"
"Pettigrew's tip?" Ron stared at the sky with an ugly face
"He is the only one who knows Sirius' Animagus form," Betty said
"By the way, what is Minister Fudge looking for Professor Lupin?" Hermione asked curiously
"Isn't this clear~ Sirius and Lupin have been good brothers since they were in school. He thought Lupin should know something. β
A few people were chatting. After a while, Professor Lupin came out.
"What did you ask?" Ivey was the first to speak
"Ask me if I know any other secret passages. Blake's Animagus is not a black dog. β
"What do you say?"
"Tell me the truth~ Anyway, he already knows, it's not interesting to hide it."
"Well, that's fine. Then let's go back."
"What about Sirius? He's still in Betty's bag," Hermione asked
"His personality is not suitable to stay outside," Ivey said
"But if you bring him into Hogwarts, Peter will find out." Lupin also felt that it was inappropriate
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a place to place him."
"You can arrange it, I believe in you"
Seeing this, Lupin didn't say much. Through this period of contact, he also knows Ivey better. He is very reliable and a trustworthy friend.
On their way back, Harry made it back to Hogwarts.
"Whewβit's okay, there's no danger." Reaching the bottom of the entrance, Harry let out a sigh of relief.
I was just in the secret passage, and I met seven or eight Aurors head-on. He was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe.
"I can't believe that Hogwarts has such a secret passage!"
It was Professor McGonagall's voice. But shouldn't she be in Hogsmeade?
"Don't panic, Minerva. Trust Minister Fudge to take care of it, "This is Dumbledore
Hearing the voices of the two of them, Harry was relieved. He cautiously stepped out of the secret passage.
In the hallway at the entrance, several of the deans were talking to two officials from the Ministry of Magic.
"Pierce, can you trace the source of the letter?" Professor McGonagall asked
"We've tried a lot, but alasβ" replied a man with a touching hairline on his back combed.
"The envelope is shielded with dark magic," replied another dignified-looking lady with gray hair and monocles, "we suspect it's Voldemort's former remnants." After all, it was Blake's news that caused their master to disappear. β
"Pretty good reasoning," Dumbledore praised
Harry stared at them like this, leaning his back against the wall, moving out step by step, not daring to breathe.
Suddenly, he noticed Dumbledore glancing in his direction.
"What's wrong? Professor Dumbledore: "The lady noticed the Headmaster's actions
"Nothing, Amelia. It's easy to get distracted when you're old", and then moved on to Blake's question.
"Whew-" Harry's heart almost jumped out just now
He didn't dare to stay longer, so he quickly moved behind a few people and hurriedly ran away. Turning a corner, he then casually found a classroom and put away the invisibility cloak.
"I don't know what's going on over there with Ivey," he left the classroom and walked towards the courtyard.
"It should be fine. Ivey is so smart that he can solve it even if there is an accident. β
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in front of him. Harry looked up
"Tate?" He frowned, "Shouldn't you be in Hogsmeade?" β
"Huh? - Harry, "Tate also looks confused", what's the matter? β
Harry rolled his eyes, "I said, aren't you supposed to be in Hogsmeade?" β
"I remember," he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I remember drinking butterbeer on three broomsticks, and lying in the lounge in the blink of an eye." I can't even forget what I did in between. β
"How much have you drunk! It's all broken."
"Uh..... I don't remember. It seems to be happening a lot lately."
"You'd better take the time to look at Madam Pomfrey," Concerned about Sirius's safety, Harry didn't notice anything unusual.
"It doesn't matter, maybe I've been staying up late a lot lately. It will be fine in two days. β
"Whatever you want," Harry shrugged and left
....
On the other side, Ivey and the others had already reached the platform. He wanted to talk to Professor McGonagall, but he couldn't find her.
"That's pretty much it" Ivy stopped and turned to Betty "Give me the cup"
"You're just waiting here?" Betty handed him the cup and asked in passing.
"Peter is jumping off the wall now, so it's better not to let Sirius's name appear on the map." Ivey replied
"How are you going to bring him in? Where is it located? Lupin asked
"My Patronus can take him in, the Living Point map shouldn't be detectable. As for where to put it - the secret room is a good choice. β
"Secret room?" Lupin wondered
"Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. You've probably heard of it."
"Really! I thought it was a rumor."
"No, we found and opened it last semester," Hermione replied
"If it's really a secret room, the living map really can't detect it. Is it safe there, though? Lupin said
"Only a few people know about the secret room. Butβ" said Ivey, looking at Ron, "Does Peter know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?" β
"Should know" Ron thought for a moment and nodded, "After all, I didn't carry him last semester"
"Since Peter knew, he couldn't use it," said Lupin
"It's okay, it's useless for him to know. At present, Harry is estimated to be able to open it in this world. Hermione said with a smile
"Yes, only Harry can open it," Ron chimed in
"Why? The Chamber of Secrets was left behind by Salazar, why can only Harry open it? Lupin was puzzled
"To open the Chamber of Secrets, you must be able to speak snake language," Betty replied
"Harry can speak snake language!" Lupin's eyes widened and his expression became nervous, "Does Dumbledore know?" β
"I don't know," Ivy muttered for a moment, "I didn't hear Harry mention it anyway. β
"Professor, that's going to be talked about later. Let's deal with the matter in front of us first. Hermione interjected
"Don't worry," Lu Ping'an stroked Hermione and continued, "Does Peter know about Harry's Parseltongue?" β
"Yes," Ron affirmed, "I talked to Harry about it in the bedroom."
"Yesβ" Lupin muttered palely
"What's wrong with you, Professor Lupin? Although the parseltongue is rare, it can't be so difficult to accept, right? Ron asked cautiously
"It has nothing to do with it," Lupin calmed down and diverted the subject, "Since Peter knows about the Chamber of Secrets, we can't act together." If there were too many people, Peter would have guessed what we were going to do."
"That's right, we can't act together. Someone had to cover Harry. Ivy Heads "You go back to Harry in a moment and tell him about the plan." And then, Betty, you-"
....
After discussing it, Ivey was left behind and returned to Hogwarts. and find Harry in the courtyard
"Are you alright? Sirius wasn't exposed, was it? When Harry saw them, he hurried up to inquire.
"It's okay, everything is fine." Lupin replied with a smile
"That's good. What about Sirius? Where are you hiding? β
"We were about to talk to you," Betty picked up the subject, "Ivy is going to put Sirius in the Chamber of Secrets"
"The Chamber of Secrets? It's really safe there. But how do you bring Sirius in? β
"Can his patronus take people, have you forgotten?"
"Oh-yes, yes," Harry suddenly remembered
"Now Ivey is waiting at the station, we need you to open the secret room."
"No problem," Harry replied, "Let's go"
"Wait," Lupin called to him, "did you come back well?" β
"It's going well, no one from the Ministry of Magic has noticed me."
"That's good," Lupin nodded
"Let's go, don't keep Ivey waiting." Harry was urgent
"Don't worry, it's not that simple," Hermione pulled him
"Harry, Peter knows about the Chamber of Secrets. Right? Ron said
"Who knew it was Peter!" Harry didn't have a good time to say
"So, it's best not to let him discover our intentions." Betty said, "After a while, everyone wandered around the castle separately to distract Peter. β
"Will this work?"
"Eighty percent sure. Peter must have also found out that Ivy hadn't returned, and with his timid personality, who knows what would have been done. And the more he thinks, the less focused he becomes. We'll circle it two more times later, and make sure he doesn't find it. β
"Okay, listen to you." Harry nodded
"Harry, wait a minute, just walk around here and don't go far. I'll go to the bathroom first to see if Myrtle is there, and then I'll come back to you. β
