Harry Potter’s Book of Sin: The 285th hazy courage
"...McLean, what do you think?"
Regarding "Whether Harry should understand the status quo," Sirius slyly handed over the conversation to Maca. X23US. The fastest update of COM
For Maca, almost everyone in the Order of the Phoenix is very convinced, and no one can treat him as an ordinary Hogwarts student.
Since Maca regained the Philosopher’s Stone from Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, every confrontation between him and Voldemort has been admirable. As the head of the Order of the Phoenix, he was commissioned by Dumbledore himself. of.
And his own strength even almost concealed the fact that "Voldemort's current strength has far surpassed that of the past."
There is no doubt that Maca, who stands at the forefront of anti-Voldemort as a fellow Harry, is the best person to decide whether Harry should understand the status quo.
Also, it was Maca who initially decided to conceal Harry. It's just that almost everyone thought that his reasons were similar to Mrs. Weasley's, so that they ignored the fact that he actually "did not give any explanation."
What exactly did Maca think? Under Sirius's reminder, everyone couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Harry," Maca thought for a while, he put down the custard in his hand, put a smile away and looked at him calmly, "...what do you want to know?"
Maca’s tone was relaxed, as if asking Harry what to eat tomorrow morning. But for some reason, Harry, who was still a little dull before, became silent at this moment.
"...I want to know...Where is Voldemort? And...why did he let the Dementors attack me..."
Harry spoke slowly, and the hesitation in his heart was obvious.
Although Maca was as calm as ever, as long as Maca stood in front of him, he could not have the courage to face everything. Is he really qualified to face Voldemort?
"If you know where Voldemort is, what are you going to do?" Maca asked again.
"Of course it was to knock him down!" Harry gritted his teeth and said, "He killed my parents and killed so many innocent people!"
"How do you want to defeat him?" Maca continued to ask calmly.
"I" Harry's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his head gradually dropped. The bangs on his forehead almost covered his eyes, "I... don't know."
"Then do you still want to know where he is?"
Under Maca’s question after sentence, Harry couldn’t help but recall the words Hermione had mentioned, which originally came from Maca:
"Harry is not in good shape right now. He needs to get rid of the shadow of the top three first, otherwise he is not suitable for participating."
There was another oppressive silence. Harry clasped his hands, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head suddenly.
"Yes!" He paused, then looked at Maca firmly, "If you don't understand what he said, you will never know how to defeat him?"
"That's right!" A satisfied smile flashed across Sirius's face.
Maca also nodded and said, "Since you are willing to use your brain, it won’t be a bad thing to let you know more about the situation... Mrs. Weasley, sometimes ignorance is more dangerous. I believe you also understand. This makes sense."
"Harry has already been involved in this vortex. If he does not swim by himself, no matter how hard we try, we may not be able to push him out of the vortex, can we?"
"Okay," Mrs. Weasley took a deep breath. She scanned the dining table and said, "Okay, okay! It seems that my opinion has been rejected... I just want to say One sentence: At least some dangerous and uncertain situations, it is best not to let Harry know, as a person who cares about Harry’s vital interests"
"He is not your son." Sirius said softly.
"But it’s about the same as my son." Mrs. Weasley said angrily. "Who else does he have?"
"He has me!"
"Yes," Mrs. Weasley said with her lips curled. "The problem is that you are locked in Azkaban and it is difficult to take care of him, right?"
Sirius couldn't help but jump up from his chair.
"Molly, you are not the only one who cares about Harry on this table." Lupin said solemnly, "Sirius, sit down."
Mrs. Weasley and Sirius both pressed their lips tightly and sat back on their chairs slowly.
"As Maca did just now, I think it's best to respect Harry's opinion on this matter," Lupin continued, "He is not young anymore, he can decide for himself."
"Yes, I want to know!" Harry said immediately.
He didn't look at Mrs. Weasley. Just now Mrs. Weasley said that he was like her biological son. He was very moved. But at the same time, he was also troubled by Mrs. Weasley's excessive indulgence of him.
He agrees very much with Sirius. He is no longer a child.
"Very good" Mrs. Weasley's voice was muted, "Ginny! Ron! Hermione! Fred! George! I want you to leave this kitchen, right away!"
Immediately, the house felt like a nest was blown up.
"We are grown up!" Fred and George exclaimed at the same time.
"Does Harry know, why can't I?" Ron shouted.
"Mom, I want to hear it too!" Ginny screamed.
"No!" Mrs. Weasley yelled and stood up, her eyes widened, "I will never allow it"
"Molly, you can't stop Fred and George," Mr. Weasley said wearily, "They are grown up."
"They are still in school."
"But they are legal adults." Mr. Weasley still said in that tired voice.
"Oh, well, Fred and George can stay," Mrs. Weasley's face flushed. "But Ron and Hermione! You have known enough lately!"
"Harry will tell us everything you say anyway!" Ron said angrily, "Will you?"
He met Harry's gaze and asked uncertainly.
In an instant, Harry wanted to tell Ron that he would not tell him a word, and let him have a taste of what it was like to be in the dark, to see if he felt well or not.
But when the two looked at each other, his urge to be cautious disappeared.
"Of course I will." Harry said.
Ron and Hermione's eyebrows were suddenly overjoyed.
"Very good!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, "Very good! Ginny goes to bed!"
Ginny didn't leave obediently.
When they heard her going upstairs, they yelled at her mother all the way and lost their temper. In the hall, Mrs. Black let out a deafening scream, making the noise even more unbearable.
Lupin rushed out quickly, he had to calm the portrait again, otherwise it would be too noisy to continue the conversation.
At this time, Maca also stood up and said: "Then you continue to talk, I have to go to bed first."
……
That night, everyone finally disclosed part of the truth in front of the children. Although Hermione and Ron knew some things beforehand, many of them didn't.
For example, some changes in the Ministry of Magic, and some of the latest actions taken by Voldemort.
To be honest, the situation is actually very complicated, especially on the Ministry of Magic. Even Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Kingsley and others who work at the Ministry are not very clear about the specific situation.
They only know that someone is putting pressure on the Daily Prophet not to let them report any news about Voldemort. This is undoubtedly a dangerous signal.
Fortunately, the audition before Maca was very effective. It not only established Lockhart's image, but also reminded wizards in the magic world that Voldemort has returned. This is something that cannot be changed. The facts.
"So, the news of Voldemort's return has been spread, hasn't it?" Harry frowned, "Then why does he bother to cover it up?"
"Voldemort didn't swagger to other people's doors and slammed their doors, Harry," Sirius said. "He casts magic on them, chants curses, coerces and lures... he engages in secret activities. It’s very sophisticated."
" Anyway, snatching followers is just one of his interests. He has other plans, plans he can implement without knowing it, and for this he needs to be as low-key as possible to keep down the bad. Influence."
"What else does he want besides followers?" Harry asked quickly.
He seemed to see Sirius and Lupin exchange their eyes quickly, and then Sirius answered.
"Something that can only be obtained by sneaking." Seeing Harry still looking confused, Sirius said again, "...like a weapon he didn't have last time."
"When did he gain power in the past?"
"Yes."
"For example, what kind of weapon?" Harry said, "It's more powerful than the Avadaso Curse?"
"Enough!" Mrs. Weasley said loudly in the shadow beside the door.
Harry had just listened so intently that he didn't even notice that Mrs. Weasley had returned after sending Ginny upstairs.
She hugs her arms~IndoMTL.com~ with a full face of anger.
"I hope you guys go to bed quickly and everyone goes!" She added, scanning Fred, George, Ron, and Hermione one by one.
"You told Harry enough..." Mrs. Weasley said to Sirius again, "Furthermore, you can immediately recruit him to join the Order of the Phoenix!"
"Why not?" This sentence whirled around Harry's mouth, and he swallowed it back.
He thought of Maca. Although Maca was not here now, he still remembered him. Harry understood that he was indeed not qualified to join the Order of the Phoenix, at least probably not now.
"I think Molly is right," Lupin said calmly, "Sirius, we really have said enough."
Sirius shrugged slightly, but said nothing.
Mrs. Weasley greeted her sons and Hermione domineeringly. They stood up one by one, and Harry had to stand up reluctantly. )Download the free reader!!
