Since Umbridge's disappearance, the Ministry of Magic has been divided into many places.

Sinkenness did not pursue it.

Other officials didn't care.

No one cares where she goes.

Only Mr. Umbridge, who is a cleaner and the most non-existent in the entire Ministry of Magic, occasionally visits his daughter's former office with an indescribable sigh, and only he remembers that there was a senior deputy minister of "Dolores Umbridge" in the Ministry of Magic.

Voldemort didn't make any moves.

The Death Eaters only take revenge on the former Death Eaters.

Every day, the Daily Prophet publishes which pure-blood wizard and former Death Eater has been avenged against, tortured, or killed, but that's all, and most ordinary wizards can only see traces of the Death Eaters in the newspapers.

At the end of April, the old house of Black.

The Order of the Phoenix has been gathering for a long time.

Molly walked in, looked at the room in surprise, and muttered, "So clean? ”

"I thought I wouldn't be here for half a year, and it would be a mess here."

The hallway was cleaned, and as they entered, two pairs of slippers were lifted and gently dropped in front of them.

Arthur lifted his foot.

An invisible pair of hands took off his shoes for him.

Molly was even more surprised: "The old Black Mansion still has this ability?" ”

"It's always been, but it didn't work before." Arthur turned around and explained in a whisper, "Sirius said that Kreacher has been very obedient these days, and that the Black Mansion has finally had some of its former functions. ”

Molly nodded, put on her slippers, and looked at her original shoes, which were stuffed into the shoe closet.

The moment the cabinet door opened, you could see that there were a lot of cleaning spells in motion inside.

She nodded thoughtfully.

Can you put this feature into your own home?

They walked to the second-floor living room, where the rest of the Order of the Phoenix were already there.

Dumbledore, Harry, Tonks

Including Scrimgeour, who has only recently joined.

"Sorry, I went home and picked up Molly, I was a little late." Arthur beckoned to them.

Dumbledore shook his head, "No, Kreacher is still making desserts, just in time. ”

Molly stared at the cup that floated to her hand on its own, and it was even more incredulous that Kreacher was now not only cleaning up, but even cooking to do the duty of a house-elf.

It was completely different from the Kreacher she remembered.

As they chatted, plates flew in and landed gently in front of them, and then a dazzling array of desserts appeared on the plates.

Molly is a slice of mousse cake, which is one of her favorite desserts.

Harry was given several muffins and topped with a little strawberry jam.

Dumbledore's was also a muffin, and unlike Harry, it was almost soaked in honey, like amber.

"Dessert is served, and we have to get down to business." Dumbledore picked up the drink he had in his hand and took a sip, the kind of honey water he had drunk in his office.

"Let me summarize."

"Harry and I speculated that Voldemort might have had seven Horcruxes, and now we know five, and destroyed four of them, leaving only a Ravenclaw crown made into a Horcrux."

"I went to Albania some time ago, and you may not know it, but Voldemort was hiding there until he returned to Great Britain. The Ravenclaw tiara, which was stolen by Helena a thousand years ago, has also been hidden in Albania. ”

"But I've almost searched Albania and I haven't found the missing crown, and even Voldemort can't hide it from me when I know something."

He picked up his knife and fork, cut off a muffin, and after eating, continued: "There is only one possibility, Voldemort did not hide the crown in Albania. ”

"Miss Rita, have you found anything to investigate?"

Rita, who was named, hurriedly put down the black coffee in her hand, swallowed the contents in her mouth, and nodded: "I've been keeping an eye on Malfoy Manor lately. ”

Speaking of which, she paused, glanced at Harry, and quickly explained, "The elves really don't have a presence, but I think Legnark might be in touch with the mystery man." Of course, I was careful, I hid far away and didn't peep with magic, Muggle props were really useful. ”

She pulled a telescope out of her bag, along with some monitors.

"During this time, many people secretly visited the mysterious person."

"Especially when the Death Eaters' revenge increased, and the number of people who visited him increased."

Only then did Rita remember that she should be a witch, took out her wand, and waved it lightly: "This is the list of mysterious people who have visited during this time." ”

Dumbledore beckoned.

The list flew away, almost in front of him, split in two, and the other fell in front of Harry.

"A lot of familiar friends." Dumbledore muttered.

Harry glanced at it.

"Caro", "Avery", "Noether".

"We need to test that idea." With a wave of his hand, Harry returned the list to Rita, "Skeeter, you may be asked to do some dangerous work. ”

"Look for the families on these lists that might be in custody of what Voldemort had given them."

Rita was stunned and shrunk her head: "I'm going to sneak into their house?" ”

Harry nodded.

Rita muttered, "But I'm just a mediocre Animagus." ”

Scrimgeour spoke, "We can do a routine inspection in the Auror office, and it will be better than Miss Skeeter."

"Where's Sinkenes?" Harry spoke.

Scrimthier spread his hands: "Because of Harry's business, there are many people who are dissatisfied with him in the Ministry of Magic now, and half a year has passed, and many people have realized the essence of Hinkness, similar to Fudge, and even Fudge is more capable than him, at least now the Department of Magical Law Enforcement rarely carries out his orders." ”

"The director doesn't like him very much."

"A lot of his orders have crossed us."

"In this matter, we can completely get past him."

Rita breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, she was keen to infiltrate someone's family, but now, she feared these things the most, it was not safe at all, and Animagus was not impossible to be discovered.

Dumbledore clapped: "Then let's be together." ”

"That will protect Rita as well."

Rita sighed, "Do I have to go?" Mr. Scrimthour, he's not."

"Mr. Scrimgeour doesn't see how they're disguised." Harry interrupted.

Rita sighed again.

Dumbledore waved his hand, ate another muffin, and his eyes fell on a man with skewed eyebrows and a scruffy beard in the corner of the long table.

The others followed.

Molly frowned.

Scrimgeour had a sharp eye.

This is the one who was pulled in by Dumbledore, but has not been very popular - "Mundungus" who was scolded by Molly as a thief.

"Mr. Dumbledore, let me say Miss Skeeter is a little too elegant." Mundungus pulled out his pipe, "This isn't lace news, it's not something you can overhear by a window. ”

He pulled out a match and snorted.

Molly waved her wand, and the flame that had just been lit was extinguished.

He didn't give up, and burned another one.

Molly waved her wand again.

"Mrs. Weasley." He couldn't sit still and looked over dissatisfied.

"And there are minors here." Molly glanced at Harry and reminded him.

Mundungus muttered, "Harry is already a big boy, he can drink a bottle of dragon's blood whiskey by himself, what's wrong with this thing." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not yet sixteen." Harry was expressionless.

In the laws of Great Britain.

Only those over the age of sixteen can disarm this thing.

Mundungus sneered and took his pipe back: "A few customers with whom I do business have told me the news, and on the surface everything seems to be normal. The Death Eaters have long since turned the Underworld upside down. ”

"The elves have been buying ore in large quantities, even undisguisedly, lately, especially silver and iron, and I don't know where they got so many Galleons."

Scrimgeour was a little overwhelmed: "They? ”

"How dare they?"

Mundungus spread his hands: "The Ministry of Magic doesn't care about this. ”

"You've been putting most of your energy into maintaining order in the open lately."

For such an unassailable reason, Scrimgeour frowned, and began to review the orders issued by Sinkenes during this time - could it be similar, it didn't seem like there would be any problems, but in fact, it had fermented and affected areas that he hadn't noticed.

Montungus took a sip of his drink and continued, "I'm afraid the elves are going to rebel again. ”

"And the giants."

"I've heard that the Death Eaters have visited the Giant Tribe recently, but I don't know exactly what the results were, you know, the giants are not easy to greet at all."

At this, he paused.

"And the werewolves, they are also preparing now, those dark magic creatures, I'm afraid they will continue to support the mystery man."

Harry waited for him to finish and waved his hand, "Did Legnack find it?" ”

Mundungus was stunned and shook his head: "The elves are very cautious, Harry, I remember that you are also an O in the history of magic, then you should know that the elves often rebel, and they are very experienced in this." ”

"Nobody knows where they are."

Harry didn't speak, just looked at him.

"Okay, okay." Mundungus sighed, "I'll find Legnus for you, Harry, but."

He raised his right hand, pinched his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together and placed it in front of his eyes, looking at Harry through the hollow space.

It's a gesture to ask for money.

"You did, I'll negotiate a good discount for you at the Weasley Brothers Joke Workshop." Harry nodded.

Mundungus's eyes lit up: "Weasley Brothers Joke Workshop? George and Fred weren't as talkative as their fathers. ”

Arthur twisted.

Harry's tone was calm: "George and Fred are Weasleys, and I am brothers. ”

Mundungus slapped the table: "It's a deal!" ”

Dumbledore cleared his throat: "Speaking of werewolves and giants, I heard the news that maybe Voldemort will consider help from outside Great Britain. ”
