Hallie took the note and read it carefully: "The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London. ”

She was subconsciously stunned, isn't this the location of Blake's old mansion? Where is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix?

Wait, why did Professor Dumbledore give himself this note......

Harley rubbed her temples involuntarily, and suddenly remembered something.

Professor Dumbledore had revealed during his conversation with Grindelwald that the Order of the Phoenix had been shrouded in the Loyalty Curse for safety, and that Professor Dumbledore himself was a secret.

It's no wonder that before participating in the International Wizarding Championship, he suddenly felt an inexplicable force trying to invade his memory.

Because the power was too prosaic and not very powerful, and it bypassed the Occlumency, it didn't fit the normal way memory magic worked.

So at the time, Harley thought it was the "manipulator glasses", a magical object with a certain activity, and suddenly went crazy, inflicting emotional side effects on herself.

Upon examination, Harley did not find much of an anomaly in the magical item.

So she just wiped out that power with the person and power of Sequence 2, and then she left it behind.

Thinking about it now, it was probably the Loyalty Spell at that time, trying to hide the location of the Order of the Phoenix in his head.

"Let's go, I think you're aware of the true nature of this spell."

Professor Dumbledore stood up from his chair and pulled out a book.

"For security reasons, the Order of the Phoenix is shrouded in the Loyalty Charm, the Anti-Phantom Manifestation Charm, and the Anti-Portkey Charm, which can only be reached directly by this special Portkey and Fawkes's Phantom Manifestation, and even the vast majority of house-elves have been restricted in access."

"Thanks to Fox for his selfless gift, without him, I probably wouldn't have been able to design this permanent portkey that can be used over and over again."

Fawkes, who was on the cupboard, heard Professor Dumbledore's words, and poked his head out in anger, and did not forget to chirp a few times with the herbs in his mouth.

"I really didn't mean to take your feathers, I just saw that you happened to lose your feathers, so I used them...... Hallie, let's go! ”

Seeing that Fawkes had risen from the lair and seemed to rush over to peck at him, Professor Dumbledore hurriedly pressed his hand on the book.

The book instantly glowed with blue light, and Harley's eyes were quick and she put her hand on it.

The two disappeared in an instant, and Fawkes plunged headlong, only to hit a cloud of air and finally fell on the table.

The old headmasters on the wall burst out laughing, and Phineas even laughed as he dived into the depths of the portrait, preparing to go to Black's mansion to mock Dumbledore.

…………

In the foyer of Black's old mansion, Harley and Professor Dumbledore fell in the foyer.

At this time, the foyer was pitch black, the fingers could not be seen, the lights on the wall were not lit, and the door to the hall was closed.

Harley snapped her fingers, and the chandelier on her head quickly lit up.

It was a very different place than the last time she had visited, the peeling wallpaper had been repaired, and the sound of small magical creatures scurrying past behind the wall was no longer heard.

The carpet that had been laid underfoot, no longer of any color, was gone, replaced by a new, strange carpet of green and red.

"It seems that Sirius didn't lie to me, he did reconcile with Kreacher."

Hallie looked at her surroundings and nodded.

"Sirius is still very honest, and he doesn't lie most of the time." Professor Dumbledore sighed,

"In fact, I've always felt that he, and all the pure-blood families, should be kind to the house-elves around him."

"While it is impossible for us to completely liberate these creatures for some historical reasons, wizards should at least be kind to them, not abuse them at will."

"And Kreacher is such a loyal house-elf that his former owner is so great."

Professor Dumbledore's book instantly ignited into a flame, then turned to ashes.

But his face was as usual, and he didn't even show any expression when the flames burned to his hands.

A book suddenly emerged from the ashes, exactly the same as the one that had spontaneously combusted earlier.

Professor Dumbledore slipped the book into the pocket of his robes and casually explained to Harry:

"I borrowed a little Fawkes feather as a material, and referenced the concept of Phoenix Nirvana, so that this portkey can be reused."

"Isn't it a very clever design? I studied this for half a month. ”

"Professor, you're really idle." Hallie rolled her eyes,

"Obviously, all you need is a constant regeneration spell to solve all the problems."

"That's not the case, if the Constant Restoration Charm is maintained, the portkey magic on it will be gone."

Professor Dumbledore pulled an old pocket watch out of his pocket, looked at it, and then shoved it back,

"This portkey spell that can penetrate all kinds of magical defenses at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters is still very complicated."

"Every time I do it again, it takes me a lot of effort...... We can discuss this kind of academic issue later, so let's get in now. ”

Listening to Professor Dumbledore's words, Harry subconsciously began to think as she strode into the living room.

Anyway, the spirit didn't call the police, and in addition, this is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and the house is almost certainly safe, so Hallie didn't bother to investigate.

Then she was "sneak attacked".

Harley opened the closed door and was about to step in when plumes of smoke and streamers erupted.

She almost subconsciously wanted to lie flat back to avoid the unknown attack, and the handle of the dagger had slipped off her cuffs.

When it comes to close combat, combat skills from the Assassins are always more useful than spells.

But when she sensed that there was no danger in the smoke and streamers through her spirit, Harley stiffly restrained her body's stress reaction and let the smoke surround her body, and the streamers hung on her face.

A light figure swooped through the smoke and plunged headlong into Hallie's arms.

"Happy birthday, Hallie!" Hermione's voice rang out, and through the smoke, she completed a sneak attack on Harley's cheek.

Harry's first thought was, "Damn, it's been attacked again!" My level has really dropped severely! ”

"And I have written down this revenge, and I must return it at night!"

A gust of wind blew, and the thick colored smoke was quickly split up and rose to the ceiling.

"Happy Birthday!" By the time the smoke obscured her vision had cleared, Hermione had finished her escape from the attack, standing not far away with her hands behind her back.

At the same time, Harley heard more than a dozen cheerful voices around her.

Sirius, Lupin, Fred, George, and others are all around, all holding various prank props in their hands.

"Professor Dumbledore said that he would bring you to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters today, and it happened to be your birthday, so we prepared this surprise."

Fred said with a grin,

"Speaking of which, our dearest majority shareholder hasn't had a birthday party yet, has he?"

"At least those Muggles aren't going to throw Hallie's birthday party, you know, they're afraid of wizards."

George said seriously,

"And how can we allow our majority shareholder to be deprived of such a memorable event as a birthday party?"

"So we must make up for this regret for the Lion Queen!"

Professor Dumbledore's voice rang out just in time.

"Hallie, surprised?" He closed the door casually, with a smile on his face,

"When the Weasley twins and Sirius planned it, Alastor didn't see the need for such an event."

"But I think people are not machines, and everyone still needs to liven up their emotions, so I agreed to their plan."

Sirius also went out on a special trip to bring Hermione over, and Molly also spent a long time elaborate a large cake.

"Everyone has put a lot of effort into preparing for this feast, but fortunately I managed to bring you here, otherwise I suspect I would have been buried with cake by these naughty ghosts."

"That's a reward for you, Professor!" Sirius couldn't help but complain,

"How much you like sweets, can we not know?"

Professor Dumbledore smiled, but didn't retort.

"Everyone, don't stand stupidly outside." Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron,

"I've already made most of the dishes, so come and give me a hand."

Mrs. Weasley waved at Harry, a smile on her face despite a slight exhaustion.

"And our main character today, Hallie, happy birthday to you!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley," said Harry, earnestly, "and thank you. ”

…………

There were a lot of people at the birthday party, and the Weasley family was here except for Percy and Mr. Weasley.

According to others, after the rebuilding of the Order of the Phoenix, both Bill and Charlie made work adjustments and allowed themselves to return to England so that they could be here.

Now the Order of the Phoenix has been rebuilt, so they simply live here to avoid accidents.

Percy and Mr. Weasley are still working in the Ministry of Magic, and they won't be able to return until they get off work in the evening.

Percy, in particular, is now an overtime maniac, and one of the most involuted of all the employees of the Ministry of Magic.

After Mr. Crouch died in that way, Percy was devastated and began to feel a little depressed.

And after learning that Mr. Crouch had secretly let Barty Crouch Jr. from Azkaban, he was even more disillusioned.

Percy even fell into deep pain at one point, and could only numb himself through work.

Later, Fudge tried to consolidate his position in the Ministry of Magic by talking to all the employees.

But a series of news came from the newspapers, along with news from within the Ministry of Magic, and a heavyweight photo of Rita.

Therefore, Fudge's prestige in the mouths of ordinary employees of the Ministry of Magic has dropped again and again, and not many people have been convinced of him.

Percy himself is not a low level of magic, and when he sees the photo, he naturally recognizes that it is not a forgery.

He was already hesitant because of various rumors within the Ministry of Magic, and after seeing the conclusive evidence, he recognized the nature and current situation of Fudge almost without any ideological struggle, and naturally joined the Order of the Phoenix under the introduction of his father.

However, he and Mr. Weasley could not give up their jobs at the Ministry of Magic, as Professor Dumbledore needed someone to contact the regular employees of the Ministry.

In addition to the Weasleys, there are many other members who happen to have no jobs and no mission for the Order of the Phoenix, and even the Auror Kingsley happens to be on a shift today, so they are all here.

"Harley, I still haven't congratulated you in person on winning the International Wizarding Duel Tournament!"

During the feast, Hermione sat next to Hallie and kept talking.

"Especially in the last ten days, I can't even contact you after you went to Nicol Lemay to discuss alchemy."

"If Professor Dumbledore hadn't told us where you were, I would have thought you were missing, because even owls can't find you."

"Thank you for your congratulations." Hallie spread her hands helplessly,

"Nicol's house, like this house, uses all kinds of magic, and the owl can't get in or out."

It seems that Professor Dumbledore did not want too many people to know about the connection between him, Hallie, and Grindelwald, and gave a false but unfalsifiable reason.

And Hallie did what the professor wanted and didn't trouble him.

"I think so," Hermione nodded,

"You've received a lot of birthday presents today, and they're all in your upstairs room right now."

"The gift-giving owls couldn't find the house that had been cast the Loyalty Curse, so they kept wandering upstairs and attracted a lot of Muggle onlookers."

"In the end, it was Professor Lupin and Sirius who joined forces to settle everything."

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask," the little witch's eyes suddenly revealed a dangerous aura, and her tone became more and more kind,

"In those pictures published in the daily Linguist, who is the witch who looks so familiar standing next to you while you hold your glass?"

Hallie's smile was embarrassed, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At that time, when he won the championship, lifted the cup and took pictures, although ordinary British reporters were pressured by Fudge, so they did not go to the stadium.

But Harley asked Professor Flitwick to take a few pictures and sent them to Rita.

Now all the relevant articles in the Daily Prophet are written by Rita, and while continuing to promote Harry, they also add to Fudge's blockage.

But she seems to have forgotten that she was taking photos with Fleur at that time.

Later, when he and Fleur traveled around Europe, although they received a lot of letters and replies every night, they didn't seem to tell Hermione about Fleur's existence.

Oh no, the time management of the female Aquaman is going to have a big problem! It's capsizing!
