Chapter 312 Harry, who is full of doubts, can't get the answer
They went out one by one, and came to the beautiful lawn that Uncle Harry had made.

"I thought maybe they deserved a—what's that prize?" Hera asked, tilting her head.

Lupine looked a little nervous, but he still answered Hera's question, "The Best Suburban Lawn Grand Prix in England."

"Oh—yes, I think so." Hera nodded, "Moody, let's give you the last assignment."

"No problem, it's a nice day," Moody muttered, his magic eye scanning the sky. "Okay, everyone, come here, listen up, Harry, you too, come here," he said gruffly to Harry, "We're flying forward in tight formation. Tonks is right in front of you, and you're right behind her. Lupine's below to cover you. Hera and I are behind you, and the others surround us. We can't get out of formation anyway, understand?" If any of us were killed—”

"Is that possible?" Harry asked worriedly, but Moody ignored him, and Hera patted Harry on the back lightly and gave him a reassuring look.

"—and the rest keep going, can't stop, can't get out of formation. If they kill us all, you're the only one alive, Harry, and there's someone else ready to take over. Keep flying east, and they'll join you."

"Don't be so pessimistic, Alastor, Harry will take it seriously," said Hera, tying Harry's trunk and Hedwig's cage to a harness that hung from Tonks' broom.

"I'm just telling the kid the plan," Moody said grimly. "Our job is to get him safely to Command, and if we die on the way—"

"No one will die." Hera said again in a peaceful voice, but it was much lower than before.Moody's morale has been much negative compared to just now.Fortunately Lupine spoke up.

"Get on the broom, that's the first signal!" said Lupine decisively, pointing to the sky.

Hera looked up and could see, high above them, a bright red spark suddenly burst out among the stars.Almost immediately it was recognized that it was a spark from the wand.

"Okay, Harry, get ready. Are you okay?" Hera took out a mint from her pocket and handed it to Harry. It was a special Siamese cat sold in the Fantastic Beasts and Magic Store, and he didn't give it to others.

"Thanks, I feel better." Harry took the mint and stuffed it into his mouth, his face pale.

Tonks patted Hera on the shoulder, "Hey, can I have a piece too?"

Hera glanced at her, didn't speak, just handed her the candy box silently.

"Thanks, buddy."

Another spark exploded high in the sky, this time green. "Second signal, let's go," said Lupine loudly.

Tonks and Harry flew into the air, and Hera and Moody exchanged glances as they mounted their brooms and kicked hard on the ground.The cool breeze in the dark night was blowing Hera's hair, and the square gardens on Privet Drive were getting farther and farther away, quickly shrinking into a mosaic pattern made of dark green and black, and Hera suddenly felt a little sad.

"Alastor, after the war is won, I want to eat the ice cream here. The Oreo Blizzard is amazing. I love the Snow Queen."

"What?" Moody's magic eyes rolled around, and the wind made it difficult for him to hear Hera's words.

"It's nothing." Hera shook her head and followed Harry closely.

"We need to fly higher—a quarter of a mile higher! There's a Muggle looking up!" Moody yelled forcefully, his magic eyes giving him a handy insight into the surroundings, even though the ground was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

They rose suddenly, and Hera's eyes were pierced with tears by the cold air. The thermal robe could not cover his head, which was one of the reasons he hated the broomstick. He could feel his hair being blown all over the place. I believe that when he arrived at Black's old house, his hairstyle would definitely be weird.

Along the way, because of Moody's magic eye, the matter of guiding the direction was entrusted to him. This is not a difficult task, at least Hera thinks so.They change their course from time to time as dictated by their purpose.The bitter cold wind blew head-on, Hera had to close her eyes tightly, and her ears hurt from the cold.

"Maybe I need a Muggle goggle, the kind they use when swimming." Hera murmured, just for a moment, the cold wind poured into his mouth, instantly clearing his head.

They had been flying for at least an hour, and Harry almost fell off the broomstick, in fact, every wizard was almost frozen, and they could only hold on to the broom handle so tightly that they would not fall off.

"Go southwest!" Moody yelled. "We're avoiding the highway!"

Hera sighed heavily, and controlled the broom in her crotch to fly towards the southwest. Kingsley's bald head and earrings shone slightly in the moonlight, which looked ridiculous.But no one was in the mood for a joke.

"We'd better go back the way we came and make sure we're not being followed!" Moody exclaimed.

"Are you crazy, Mad-Eye?" Tonks screamed from ahead. "We're freezing on our broomsticks! If we keep going off course like this, we probably won't get there in the next week! And we're almost there already!"

"We should be ready to land!" Hera changed her posture and held the broomstick. He could only stand up to reconcile Tonks and Moody. In fact, they could already see King's Cross.

Harry swooped down with Tonks, and they flew towards a large field of light, no doubt thanks to King's Cross Station, the lights here are simply exaggerated, criss-crossing, dotted, staring in all directions, dotted with dark black squares.They flew lower and lower until at last they could see headlights and streetlights, chimney stacks and television aerials.

"We're here!" Tonks yelled.After a few seconds, she fell to the ground.

Grimmauld Place, they arrived at their destination safely.

Hera landed after Harry, and they were in the middle of the square on a patch of unkempt grass, and Tonks had unhooked Harry's case from its harness.Harry looked terrified, shaking and looking around.

In fact, this place is really easy to scare people who come here for the first time. The surrounding houses have gloomy faces, and they look like they are thousands of miles away.Some homes had broken windows that gleamed poorly in the streetlights, many had peeling paint on the doors and several had litter piled on the front steps.

It's hard to believe that there is such a dilapidated place within a few kilometers of King's Cross Station.

"What's this place?" Harry asked.

Lupine whispered, "Wait a minute."

Hera took out his wand, and he looked around cautiously, maybe a group of dark wizards popped out of nowhere?He was worried that he wouldn't even be able to secure himself time to call out his Voldemort side before being knocked down.Of course, this is impossible.Hera's combat ability is not that low.

Moody rummaged in his cloak, his gnarled hands reeling from the cold.

"Do you need my help, Alastor?" Hera asked in a low voice.

"Found it." Moody muttered, holding up what looked like a silver lighter, and clicking it.

The nearest light went out with a pop.He clicked again, and the second light went out.He clicked and clicked, and finally all the street lights in the square went out, only the light came from the curtained windows, and the bright light of the crooked moon in the night sky.

"Come on now, hurry up," said Moody gruffly, pocketing the Deluminator.Hera had made a request: he would use the Deluminator, but Dumbledore refused the request almost without hesitation.

Dumbledore knew Hera too well, and he would never be able to take out the things in Hera's pocket.

Hera took Harry by the arm and led him out of the grass, across the road, and onto the sidewalk.He kept his wand held up against his chest, pointing cautiously into the darkness.Lupine and Tonks followed, carrying Harry's case, while the others drew out their wands and covered them on either side.

From the upstairs windows of the nearest house came the faint rumble of a stereo, and the acrid stench of rotting garbage emanated from the bulging garbage bags of the dilapidated gate.

"Here." Hera took a big step ahead, bowed slightly and pointed forward, "Welcome to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, 12 Grimmauld Place, Harry."

"What is a phoenix—" Harry was about to ask.

"Don't talk about it here, boy!" snapped Moody. "Not until we're in!"

Harry must have been terrified by Moody, Hera believed.

Then, amidst Harry's dumbfounded, Grimmauld Twelve appeared, which was not unusual, at least for other wizards.But Harry was no less surprised than when he first entered Diagon Alley.

"Okay, don't be dazed. Come on, hurry up," Moody growled, and he poked Harry's back so hard that it made Harry's face look ugly.

They made their way into the foyer, and Moody was responsible for closing the front door.Hera hit Harry on the head with her wand, and the Disillusionment Charm was lifted. "Okay, we've done the hard work, go in and get warm."

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Dumbledore came out from the other end of the hall. He walked towards them in three steps and two steps, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Good to meet you, Harry," he said with a chuckle.

"It's great to see you, I didn't mean to—it's just that the dementor suddenly—" Harry wanted to explain something to Dumbledore, but he interrupted Harry with a slight wave of his hand.

"I figured out what happened. It's not your fault. You'd better go upstairs and change now. I think you must be freezing." Dumbledore patted Harry on the shoulder and blinked in Hera's direction. "Come in quickly."

Hera nodded and walked towards the door that Dumbledore had just walked out of. Then, as if he had just thought of something, he turned to Harry and said, "Your friends should be waiting for you upstairs. I think they must miss you." After speaking, he followed Lupine into the door.

This room was formerly the dining room of the Black family, temporarily being used as a meeting room for the Order of the Phoenix, simply because there was a table large enough for it.Dumbledore sat in the main seat, Hera sat to his right, and across from Hera was Moody.

"I'm very glad to see everyone here again safe and sound. I believe there is nothing more pleasing than this." Dumbledore said softly after everyone was seated.

"Actually, I also think we're pretty lucky not to have been attacked at all, huh, Mad-Eye?" said Tonks cheerfully, sitting in the corner of the long dining table, but her pink puffy hair stood out.She was afraid that she had used her ability again.

Moody let out a cold snort, he gripped his cane tightly, "This kind of thing is not common."

"Where's Severus? Why didn't I see him?" Hera asked, turning to look at Dumbledore. He was really fed up with Tonks and Moody's bickering, and they seemed to quarrel at any moment.Of course, Tonks wins most of the time.

Dumbledore said: "He should be here soon." As soon as the words fell, Snape appeared at the dining table with a bang, he still had his black and shiny hair on his head.

"Look, he's always so punctual," said Dumbledore briskly, while Snape took the vacant seat next to Hera, which everyone had tacitly reserved for Snape.

"Then, let's get to the point. The dementors are out of control. I will definitely ask the Ministry of Magic for an explanation. Regarding Voldemort's return, we can't sit still. This is why I summoned everyone again, so I won't explain anymore. Right now, the most important thing for us is to unite all possible resistance forces. I have already asked Hagrid and Olim to contact the giants, but they haven't heard from them yet. This is not an easy task. There are also werewolves. But we need someone to negotiate with them. They're not a safe bunch."

Dumbledore's speech was not long, he stopped after talking for a few minutes, most of the people bowed their heads in silence and thought.

"Dumbledore, I don't think werewolves are a group that can be recruited." Lupine's face was very pale, "In fact, I have said this many times. I never have any illusions about them."

"I agree with you, but we can't push werewolves into Voldemort's gang." Dumbledore sighed heavily. He knew why Lupine hated werewolves, even if he was a werewolf.

When Lupine was four years old, because his father offended Fenrir Greyback, out of revenge, he broke into the bedroom through the window and bit Lupine. Lupine has since become a werewolf. His parents tried various methods to save him, but to no avail.This made Lupine's life extremely difficult, whether it was studying or working.
