Chapter 268: Tom's Teeth and Bleeding Continue
The letter came by coincidence, and appeared to have been carefully chosen, with a careful wit on it.
Riddle likes the smell of lavender, something that few people know about.
As Johnny's Silver Hand's royal messenger, Riddle is able to garner a lot of attention.
And in the Silver Hand Manor, the original rose garden was bulldozed by John and replanted with lavender.
Those lavender seeds were specially sent by Pierce.
Usually Riddle likes to stay there, and he naturally smells of lavender.
The letter was deliberately scented with lavender, and when Riddle brought it, he placed the envelope on top.
John opened the letter and glanced at it, smiled dumbly, rubbed Riddle's head, and said, "It seems that you have received a lot of benefits." ”
Riddle's eyes narrowed in comfort, and his mouth was purring.
Tang Mi asked curiously, "My lord, what did you write?" ”
John pinched the envelope in his fingers and said with a playful smile, "Umbridge recommended herself, hoping that I would recommend her in front of Old Barty." ”
What a coincidence.
He tried to push Umbridge into the fire pit, but Umbridge came by himself.
She lowered her attitude and begged John to recommend her.
As an official of the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge had previously been affiliated with Fudge.
With Fudge's ouster, she also became less valued.
Barty Sr.'s rise to power made her panic all day long, fearing that she would become a victim of Barty Sr.'s next cut.
In the Ministry of Magic, everyone knows that Old Barty's position is inseparable from Johnny's Silver Hand.
The most intuitive example is Scrimgeour, the former director of the Auror Office, who was already in an underappreciated department, and is now directly demoted to the centaur office.
No centaur will use this service, and if anyone from the Ministry of Magic is sent to this department, then he is not far from being fired.
It is simply embarrassing that someone who was once only one step away from the Minister of Magic is now ending up like this.
In order not to get fired, Umbridge spent a fortune and finally got a chance from Pierce.
This carefully prepared letter was written after her investigation.
Knowing that Johnny Silverhand doesn't like verbosity and compliments, she directly explains the pros and cons, and says that she will become Johnny Silverhand's most loyal friend.
"It's interesting, she's a little cautious."
It is estimated that Umbridge thought he liked lavender, so he thought about it carefully, but he was crooked.
John touched Riddle's round belly, which had no idea how much dried fish it had eaten.
Hand the letter to Tang Mi.
Thinking that this was written by Umbridge, Tang Mi took it with a gloomy face.
"Pierce was smart and didn't take matters into his own hands."
Although Umbridge was provided with a conduit, Pierce had already sent a letter explaining his fault before John could make a statement.
In a sincere tone, he said that if John didn't like Umbridge, he would drive people away.
John asks Donmi to call Pierce back and tell him well done.
This position of offending people must be done by Umbridge.
The Ministry of Magic needs someone to sing red faces, and people to sing white faces.
All the good reputation was given to Oz as the basis for future promotion, and the bad reputation was given to Umbridge, and she couldn't have been worse anyway.
After deciding, John met with Barty Sr. to finalize the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and the position of High Inquisitor at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore would have made concessions after August 12th, as long as he had to train Harry.
Finalizing the details, John takes off his mask and returns to the Privet Road.
Here, he saw Tom at the door with a look of relief.
Tom was overjoyed to see John return, wagging his tail.
"You bite?"
Tom is found to have blood in his mouth, and he finds a piece of ripped debris in the grass.
"A common material for wizard robes of the Fengya brand."
Recognizing it as a wizard's robe, John's face was slightly cold.
Heading to the basement, he checked the magic.
After reading it, he had a strange expression.
In the picture on the table, Tom is extremely brave, chasing after several wizards to bite.
Lupin wanted to step forward to stop him, but was directly warned by Tom with a low roar.
It's not that no one wants to use magic, a square chin wizard does, interrupted by Lupin and Moody.
"Don't use magic on dogs!" Moody roared, startling the wizard.
The young witch Tonks was puzzled and asked, "What kind of accident is this?" ”
Lupin jumped, dodged Tom's dog's mouth, and smiled wryly, "This is John Wick's dog, Sirius has met John before." ”
It was a bad memory, and Sirius can still be seen occasionally rubbing his left ribs.
"Anyway, no one should use magic on dogs!" Moody was a lame man and the slowest to move.
Tom took a bite on the wooden leg, and with a creak, the wooden leg shattered a few pieces of wood chips, causing Moody to exclaim.
"What breed of dog is this, with such a strong bite!"
Harry wasn't going to be bitten yet, he used the Illusion Charm, Tom couldn't see him, but he could smell him, and he was sweating profusely, exclaiming, "How are we leaving?" ”
"Off the lawn, there's magic here, you can't fly."
After Lupin broke off, several wizards crawled off the lawn.
The square-chin wizard walked slowly, and was bitten by Tom's calf, screaming in pain.
It was Lupin who went up and ripped it open.
Obviously, it was just a bite, and the leg was soon drenched in blood.
They left in a hurry and didn't notice it for the time being.
John was amused when he saw all this.
"Legendary Auror and former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, chased by your dog."
He shook his head and smiled, opened Tom's mouth, looked at the cold canine teeth inside, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that the experiments done during this time have not been in vain, your teeth are compatible with werewolf teeth well." ”
Tom is not the dog he used to be, and John has been experimenting with enchanting animals since he created the Scimitar Snort.
It stands to reason that ordinary animals do not have the magical compatibility of magical beasts, and it is basically impossible to successfully enchant them.
But John is a master alchemist, and he modifies Tom's teeth with magical biomaterials.
He succeeded, creating a vessel for Tom to hold the magic, but also to create a certain poison.
The square-jawed wizard was lucky, because some later in the evening, maybe John would have enchanted Tom with the basilisk teeth.
When the time comes, a mouthful of a wizard.
Touching Tom's dog's head, John turned his attention back to the group of wizards.
"Since Lupin and Moody are here, it's likely that they're from the Order of the Phoenix, to pick up Harry?"
Considering that Harry had an invisibility cloak, John was not surprised that he didn't see Harry.
This lineup, it can only be said that the Order of the Phoenix attaches great importance to Harry.
"Order of the Phoenix, I hope I can succeed." Pick up the shard, it's stained with the blood of the square jaw wizard.
John held the shard in his right hand, and his left hand landed a foot above his right hand.
"Bloodstained Traces."
The blood on the broken step condensed and floated, gradually turning into an arrow in the air.
A red thread stretched out in the void, and it was about to touch the arrow.
In the next second, John's brows furrowed, and white smoke evaporated as if the blood had been drained of magical power.
"Protected by magic."
The owner of the blood was in what resembled a kind of safe house, which John had just found in the dark, but was quickly erased.
He wanted to remember, but he couldn't.
"Brave Loyalty Mantra?" With the answer already in mind, John frowned.
He didn't expect Dumbledore to move so quickly, and he had already found a base.
Originally, I was thinking of finding an opportunity to find the location of the Order of the Phoenix, so that it would be convenient for the layout in the future.
Now it seems that I thought too simply.
...
After some twists and turns, Harry finally arrived at his destination.
To his surprise, this was not the Burrow.
Moody told him not to go to the Burrow, it was too unsafe.
Moody used the lights-out he borrowed from Dumbledore to remove all the lights around him.
He took Harry's arm, Lupin and Tonks followed with Harry's box, and the others took out their wands and covered them on either side.
With such a grand procession, I am afraid that Voldemort himself would have to come and kill Harry.
"This is it." Moody whispered, handing Harry a piece of parchment.
Harry looked down at the parchment, which seemed to be written in long, thin handwriting that read: Order of the Phoenix Command is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.
He was curious: "What is a phoenix ......?"
"Don't talk about it here!" Moody scolded, "Wait until we get in." ”
He was wary of his surroundings, lest a Death Eater might come out of nowhere and give Harry a life-requiring spell.
Seeing that Harry had memorized it, he took the parchment and burned it.
They were in front of 11 Grimmauld Place, but oddly enough, it was number 10 on the left and number 13 on the right.
It was strange to Harry that there was no number 12.
"Think about what you just remembered." As always, Lupin reminded him just like he did when he was teaching at Hogwarts.
Harry pondered the words as everything changed before his eyes.
A tattered door popped out of thin air between 11 and 13, and the dirty walls and gloomy windows looked out of place.
It's like a house suddenly swelling out and squeezing the houses on both sides.
Harry was dumbfounded, and Moody urged him in.
The paint on the door was peeling off and covered in scratches.
The silver knocker is in the shape of a large coiled serpent, with no keyhole and no letterbox.
Lupin drew his wand and knocked on the door, the metal striking with a loud sound similar to the rattling of a chain.
The door opened.
Tonks spoke, "Oh my God, Baldmore, stop screaming, we're all about to be exposed." ”
Tonks' words drew everyone's attention to Stoic Podmore, who had a white face and his lips trembling and making a grunting sound.
"Hug, I'm sorry, I can't stop the bleeding."
Sensing that something was wrong with him, Lupin leaned over and saw the bloody leg, and his face became solemn.
In the end, it was decided, "There's magic on this, and it can't be healed." ”
"Magic?" Harry thought it was incredible, he had just been bitten by a dog.
Tom knew too well, it was just a normal dog.
But as a former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Lupin would not admit to mistake.
He saw that this magic was terrible, that it would not heal, and that it would make people bleed to death.
Moody's also looked at it and came to a conclusion, "Black magic." ”
They hurriedly helped people in and arranged for them to remove the blood from outside.
Entering the house, Stojee Podmore was finally able to let go of his voice, and the screams quickly caught the attention of the others.
And none of them noticed, on Grimmauld Square, a car was parked there.
Watson's mouth opened wide as he watched the group of people who appeared from the sky flying down on broomsticks, and watched them disappear.
...
Some people died, but not completely......
