Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1252: 2 things before the holiday

Chapter 1254 A few things before the holiday

After Dumbledore's funeral, all the students who attended the funeral boarded the Hogwarts express train and set foot on their way home.

Of course, Harry, Ron, and Ginny are special cases. They did not leave with the express train, but stayed at the school, planning to leave with the members of the Order of the Phoenix later. It is undoubtedly safer to do so , It can also prevent the Death Eaters from attacking the train and causing trouble to the students.

At this moment, in Professor McGonagall's office, members of the Order of the Phoenix are having a temporary meeting, discussing Harry's safety and whereabouts.

"Harry, are you really not going back to your Uncle Vernon's house?"

Mad-Eye Moody felt extremely troubled by this. Dumbledore's death disrupted many original plans and made everything a mess.

"If you don't go back, it's meaningless to go back now." Harry shook his head and said, "When I become an adult, I should complete my own tasks. I think that in these few months, I need to do something more meaningful .”

"What task."

Mrs. Weasley still didn't give up.

"Sorry, this needs to be kept secret."

"I think Arthur and I have a right to know that..."

"Sorry, if Dumbledore didn't tell the others, I'm afraid I can't tell you." Harry knew that would happen, so he behaved calmly.

"Don't look at us like that, we don't know." Fred and George shrugged, "Maybe, Albert will know, I suggest you ask him yourself."

"Why would Dumbledore think Anderson is more reliable than us?" Sturgis Podmore muttered disapprovingly.

"Don't be stupid, Sturgis." Mad-Eye glanced at the other party and reminded, "Now is not the time to discuss this."

"The problem is that 12 Grimmauld Place is not safe now." Lupine frowned and reminded, "After Dumbledore's death, the secret keeper of 12 Grimmauld Place was transferred to us. The strength of protection has been greatly weakened. Especially Snape's betrayal has made 12 Grimmauld Place completely unsafe."

This is the main reason why it is believed that Harry needs to go back to his Uncle Vernon's house for the final months of his adult life.

"Hasn't the Order of the Phoenix prepared any other new safe houses?" Hermione suddenly raised her hand and asked, "I mean other safe houses protected by the Fidelity Curse."

There was an eerie silence in the office, apparently the Order of the Phoenix had no other safe houses protected by the Fidelity Charm.

After all, other places outside the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, which had been cursed with the Loyalty Curse, are not considered safe.

"Maybe, we need a brand new and reliable safe house." Ron also felt incredible, "If 12 Grimmauld Place is no longer safe, I think such a place is necessary."

Dumbledore has been dead for days, don't the rest of the Order realize?

No, of course they realized, it's just that they couldn't find a suitable house for the new headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

Moreover, who will be the keeper is also a problem.

Aware of the surrounding atmosphere, Fred and George looked at each other, a little surprised by the current situation.

In their mind, a safe house is very important.

This is not only to ensure that Harry can have a safe and secret shelter until the end of July this year, before the heddle on his body disappears completely, it is also related to the safety of the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

At least, when their lives are threatened, they can have a place to hide from danger, instead of being endlessly hunted down by mysterious people and Death Eaters.

However, they were silent when talking about it.

"To be honest, everyone is confused now. Not only us, but even the Ministry of Magic is in a mess right now." Kingsley tried to divert everyone's attention and avoid embarrassment for others.

Just now, members of the entire Order of the Phoenix learned from Professor McGonagall that Dumbledore's death may have been voluntary by himself, but they still couldn't understand why Dumbledore did that, maybe he really didn't It was a good life for a few years, but after Dumbledore's death, the entire British wizarding world fell into chaos.

What is he planning?

Everyone is fooled!

This news also caused the entire Order of the Phoenix to fall into chaos.

Of course the Order of the Phoenix needed a new safe house, especially knowing that Harry wasn't planning to go back to Uncle Vernon's house to spend his pre-adult years, and they realized that the Order couldn't keep Harry safe.

"Can you change the location? I mean the headquarters of the Defense Association." Ron turned his head to look at the Weasley brothers, "It should also be protected by the Fidelity Curse!"

"Albert probably didn't intend to let Harry go to the headquarters of the Defense Association." Fred shook his head and rejected Ron's proposal, "Otherwise, he would have mentioned it when we met just now."

"Why?"

Lupine also thinks this is a good idea. It is said that the headquarters of the Defense Association is even tighter than the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Harry will undoubtedly be well protected wherever he goes.

"I also think that the Order of the Phoenix needs to have its own safe house. Maybe you can find a deserted manor that no one is using and rebuild a headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix." Not reliable. As far as he knew, there were several similar places in the Defense Association.

"But, now..."

"Even if you say that, it's useless and meaningless. We're not keepers of secrets. It's impossible to bring you to the headquarters of the Defense Association." Fred shook his head to remind everyone not to have unrealistic fantasies.

"Also, we never thought we could convince him." George shook his head. "In fact, even Scrimgeour was abandoned after Dumbledore's death."

Everyone was silent.

"If Harry has no good place to go, let's stay at his Uncle Vernon's house for the time being. At least it will be safe when Harry is an adult. As for the adulthood, I don't think Harry will want to stay in At home, so..."

"What's Albert's suggestion?" Harry interrupted directly, he never thought of going back to his Uncle Vernon's house to waste precious time.

Recreating a safe house has never been easier.

Fred and George stopped talking. They really felt that the Order of the Phoenix was really unreliable, especially after Dumbledore's death, the Order of the Phoenix was basically over.

No wonder Albert really looked down on it at the beginning. Why didn't they find this problem before?

However, if you think about it carefully, if the Defense Association loses Albert, the situation does not seem to be much better than that of the Order of the Phoenix.

"That's how it is. Anyway, there are many abandoned villages and manors in the UK. Then just use the buildings abandoned by Muggles." Harry's reaction to the Order of the Phoenix was also a little disappointed. Such a thing still needs to hesitate, I really don't understand what they are thinking.

"No problem!"

After speaking, Harry looked at Sirius.

After Dumbledore's death, the Order of the Phoenix definitely needed a new headquarters.

"Should...no problem." Sirius hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "However, the secret-keeper is indeed a problem."

"The Secret Keeper is actually very simple, when the time comes, I or Fred will do." George said calmly, "Let the Secret Keeper stay under the protection of another Fidelity Charm, and safety can be guaranteed."

"Are you going to be the secret keeper then?" Fred raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's finger-guessing, of course." George said as a matter of course.

"Okay."

"That's it, Harry, you go to your Uncle Vernon's house to stay for a few days, and then we will pick you up to the new safe house." Mrs. Weasley was still a little worried about Harry's safety.

"No, I'll just go to No. 12 Grimmauld Place. Anyway, my Uncle Vernon's house will definitely be under surveillance. If I want to leave there in the future, it will be troublesome, and I plan to stay at No. 12 Grimmauld Place Learn something more useful from you guys." Harry shook his head and said, "It shouldn't take much time to build a safe house anyway."

The few people looked at each other, but in the end, no one refuted Harry's words. They all realized that Harry had grown up and matured.

During the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, the British Ministry of Magic did not block the news of Azkaban's collective escape.

However, what is even more astonishing is the statement Scrimgeour made at the press conference, in which he said helplessly that this day had just arrived earlier.

No one thought that the mysterious man would help the prisoners of Azkaban to escape collectively on the day of Dumbledore's funeral, even if the Ministry of Magic had predicted it from the beginning, it could not stop it.

The entire magical world was shocked by Scrimgeour's speech, and it wasn't that no one shouted to replace Scrimgeour.

But after Scrimgeour is replaced, who will take over, and who will stand up to clean up the mess?

No one.

Yes, no one.

At least, Scrimgeour has done a good job. Since he took office, he has been committed to combating and humanely destroying Dark wizards and Death Eaters.

Who is qualified to take his place?

Especially after Dumbledore's death, many people realized that the current position of Minister of Magic is a hot potato.

As for what Scrimgeour said at the press conference: If you feel that I am not suitable to continue to be the Minister of Magic, as long as you can choose a suitable one, I can immediately abdicate the rhetoric, and let those who still like nonsense complain directly The guys all shut up.

I'm afraid that Scrimgeour will really abandon the position of Minister of Magic.

When the time comes, who will clean up this mess.

It's not that Scrimgeour is willing to give up on himself, but that the position of Minister of Magic is a pitfall for him now, and if he continues to hold the post, he will end up with a dead end.

People may be dying, and Scrimgeour is not used to other people. He decided to follow Albert's suggestion and leave the decision-making power to the entire British magic community to choose for themselves.

If you really lose the position of minister, then just run away, or take the entire British wizarding world and go to Voldemort to fight the Death Eaters.

In fact, those who support Scrimgeour still account for the majority.

At least the employees of the Ministry of Magic are very supportive of Scrimgeour. Compared with the unpopular Fudge, they see all the efforts Scrimgeour has made, and more importantly, Scrimgeour has always led everyone from One victory leads to another.

If Scrimgeour resigns and there is another scammer like Fudge, then everyone will die together.

"You don't seem very happy?" Pierce Thickness asked, raising his eyebrows. "Obviously everyone still supports you. I dare say that few ministers in the past can enjoy such treatment."

"What's there to be happy about? Are you celebrating your imminent death?" Scrimgeour fiddled with the pocket watch in his hand, with a weird smile on his face.

"Why do you say that." Pierce was taken aback, "Could it be that Mr. Anderson..."

"After Dumbledore's death, the Mysterious Man's next goal must be to control the Ministry of Magic." Scrimgeour leaned on the armchair and said extremely calmly, "And I am their biggest obstacle, do you think that would be the case? Can I still live?"

"You just admit defeat like this?" Pierce couldn't understand, "We still have the most elite Auror troops, as well as the crisis response team, even the mysterious person..."

"From the very beginning, you got one thing wrong." Scrimgeour put down his pocket watch and looked at Pierce, "The entire British wizarding world has always been protected by Dumbledore. I didn't really agree with Abby at the time. Burt’s words, but you have also seen what happened today, the mysterious man released and controlled the prisoners of Azkaban without any scruples, and he never took the British Ministry of Magic seriously.”

"Our previous successes time and time again were only created by Albert Anderson out of need." Scrimgeour laughed at himself, "He needs someone to help him take revenge on the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters, and the Ministry of Magic Take this job."

"But after Dumbledore's death, everything changed." Scrimgeour handed the pocket watch to Pierce and said, "I believe that the mysterious people will soon let me die in the line of duty, and then replace them with their own people." This control of the British Ministry of Magic ~IndoMTL.com~ should be yours to take over."

"Me?" Pierce was a little dazed. It would be right to take over as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, but...

"They will probably use the Imperius Curse to control you!" Scrimgeour said so that Pierce's face twitched, "Those guys probably forced you to become a member of the Death Eaters, and then pass you as a transition, Help them become the Minister of Magic."

"Are you starting to explain the funeral?" Pierce couldn't understand why Scrimgeour could say these words so calmly.

"You can think so. If possible, I would like to fight the Death Eaters again. If not, I will split the crisis response team and let them partly rely on Albert Anderson and Harry. Potter." Scrimgeour said to himself, "That guy must have a solution, but I don't know what he is waiting for."

"Unfortunately, the mysterious man won't give me time and opportunity." Scrimgeour glanced at Pierce and said in a rather regretful tone, "Otherwise, things might not have gotten so bad."
