Chapter 728: Planned
Mr. Parker, who was in charge of the construction of the orphanage, was a very kind Muggle, otherwise Amosta would not have agreed to him to undertake the construction of the orphanage.
Sneeze –
It's just that in the extremely cold night, the excellent building quality can't stop the pervasive cold, and it is obviously impossible to have a fireplace in every room in such a dormitory, so Hermione, who was attacked by the cold, just said a word, her body trembled, and she was caught off guard and sneezed.
She was used to the warm environment of the Hogwarts dormitory, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while.
Call--
Sirius drew his wand and swung it violently, and a stream of purple magic fire erupted from the tip of the wand, condensing into a fireball the size of a basin between the beds, releasing heat from the sidelines.
The cold air soon became as warm and comfortable as a hot spring pool, and even a little hot, and Harry and Ron lifted their tight bedding, their pale faces gradually flushed.
"Oh, thanks, Sirius, it feels so much better--"
Hermione's clenched shoulders reopened, and she nodded gratefully at Sirius, but then, her eyebrows tightened again,
"What's going on, Remus?"
Hermione asked nervously,
"Isn't the orphanage protected by Professor Blaine's magic, can't it be brave and faithful—"
"Voldemort's attempt to break through the profound magic of the Damour Loyalty Curse is wishful thinking, otherwise, Dumbledore would not have chosen to use it to protect Jaime and Lily—"
Sirius said with a calm face.
"But the problem is--"
Remus went on to say,
"The premise is that everyone in this orphanage must stay within the bounds of the curse of Faithfulness and not go out. Whenever one person comes out of the protection. I'm sure you'll understand that in addition to Albus, Amosta is also seen as a thorn in Voldemort's side, and he will do everything in his power to get rid of him, and if he can't, he will go after those around him. ”
"You're saying that the mystery man will take those kids--"
Thinking of those immature and flawless smiling faces, Hermione's face turned pale and her heart sank.
"He's going to do it—"
Sirius' eyes were full of hatred, "He's going to get everyone involved with Amosta into the nitty-gritty of going to take them and use him to threaten Amosta, which was his best way of dealing with wizards who wouldn't give in to him years ago, when Voldemort was in power!" ”
"Then we'll have to warn Professor Blaine!" Hermione bit her lip, looking nervous and sad.
"Anything we can think of, Amosta can certainly think of-" Remus smiled reluctantly, "but here's the thing. What should I do? ”
"It's safest to keep everyone in an orphanage, and the power of the Loyalty Spell is strong enough to protect them,"
Sirius mused,
"But the question is, how do you convince so many Muggles to stay in this house, you understand, Hermione, there are more than a hundred Muggles living here, you can't tell them that there is a magical, evil Dark Lord who has his eye on them, which is against the Wizarding Secrecy Act, but other than that, how can you ask them not to go out, so many Muggles suddenly disappear, I think, in Muggle society will also cause concern and riot-"
"It's unrealistic to want to keep it completely secret, whether it's hiding here or keeping it secret from these Muggle kids--"
Remus and Sirius were discussing the issue in a serious way, even leaving the three little wizards behind.
"If you can find out about this Muggle orphanage, there must be others in the ministry who know about it. Only if they are asked to stay here can they be sent to guard the vicinity. If you don't want to interfere with their lives, you have to send a large number of people to follow and protect them, even the ministry is not so capable--"
The Wizard's Secrecy Act --
Harry knew this, and he knew the need for this law to exist. Just look at the attitude of the Dursleys family towards magic, if the Muggles suddenly knew that there was a group of humans who could do magic in this world, it would undoubtedly cause a lot of turmoil.
But he thinks that if Voldemort doesn't care about this, neither should Professors Bryan and Dumbledore.
If you are convinced that these innocent children will be targeted by Voldemort, simply take them to Hogwarts, which is a completely safe place.
"What are you talking about?"
Crunch –
The door creaked open, and Amosta, who looked a little tired, walked in slowly.
That's how the work of the orphanage is, where the children live there, from babies who can't even roll over to teenagers who have already entered high school, and it is not like normal work, where you can go home after dark, and you have to take care of the children until everyone is washed and goes to bed.
Perhaps it was the tiredness between Amosta's eyebrows that moved Remus and Sirius, and they didn't want to bother him any more, so they had a tacit understanding that they didn't tell the truth.
"Just talking about those kids--"
Remus smiled and said,
"They look even more energetic than the Hogwarts students look, Amosta, they're well taken care of."
"That's true--"
Amosta shook his head, his ass resting on the edge of a desk,
"These little guys are simply overpowered. Don't talk about that--"
Amosta pinched his eyebrows, and then, recovering his clear gaze, swept over everyone's faces, and finally fixed on Sirius's face, his tone was calm,
"Speaking of which, what are you here for? Don't tell me, it's just a flash of inspiration, for fun? ”
Silence fell, and Sirius, Remus, Harry, Ron, and Hermione exchanged glances, wondering who would ask the question.
"That's right, Amosta--"
Eventually, Remus made a hoarse voice,
"Sirius went to Hogwarts yesterday and took Harry, Ron, and Hermione to Grimmauld Place for the Christmas break, and then, a few of us talked about the Dark Mark that appeared in the arena on the night of the Quidditch Final in the summer, and Hermione becoming a Warrior, Harry, they had some clues, and at the same time, there was some speculation--"
Remus then told him all the things they had talked about, one by one, and Hermione looked at Professor Bryan with a nervous gaze, for Professor Bryan had almost made it clear to them not to pay too much attention to Barty Crouch, and they had turned a deaf ear to his orders.
Throughout, Amosta had a calm look, including when he heard Hermione and they had guessed if there was a Death Eater hiding in the empty seat next to Twinkle that night, including whether there were Death Eaters infiltrating Hogwarts today, his expression never changed.
Eventually, Remus had told all the information they had, and everyone's eyes were locked on Amosta's body, and Harry, who was sleeping on Ron's top bunk, leaned half out of the fence, hoping to find some clues from Professor Bryan's expression.
"Amosta, Barty Crouch the hell—"
When Remus's voice landed, Amosta, who had been expressionless, smiled faintly, but the first thing he looked at was the nervous Hermione, because he knew that most of the information that Remus said just now came from the speculation of this clever little girl.
"The only thing I can tell you is--"
When Amosta began to speak, everyone subconsciously held their breath. His gentle voice seemed to have a strange magic power, calming the fears and uneasiness in the hearts of several people about the future that was gradually clouded.
"Everything was expected, everything was planned."
