The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

After half an hour.

Cedric and others, together with Percy who was far away in the Ministry of Magic, all came to the Room of Requirement.

They each found a place to sit down, and then remained silent.

They had already learned about all the circumstances of Harry's previous dream when they came here, and now they just wanted to get together to discuss what to do.

This weird silence lasted until near noon, when John couldn't help but said:

"Actually, I don't think Harry Potter's words are credible. We all know that there is something wrong with his head and he may be invaded by Voldemort at any time. It is precisely because of this that he needs to learn Occlumency, right? ?

And ah, the Department of Mysteries was attacked.This kind of thing is really ridiculous!You know, the Ministry of Magic is also our territory! "

John turned his attention to Percy, "Senior Weasley, have you heard of any changes in the Department of Mysteries before?"

Under everyone's gaze, Percy shook his head and said:

"Since last time, we have begun to strengthen the security level of the entire Ministry of Magic, including the Department of Mysteries. Although we do not have direct jurisdiction over the Auror Office at this time.

Moreover, the Department of Mysteries itself is mysterious, and those silent people are only responsible to the Wizengamot Council, so we cannot obtain too detailed information.

But overall, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Otherwise, that guy Scrimgeour will definitely use this as an excuse to ask us for more funds! "

After saying that, Percy seemed to be amused by his last joke and couldn't help laughing.

When Emily saw this, she slowly said:

"I went to see Professor Snape before. He also told me some things."

As soon as these words came out, John and others all lowered their heads and remained silent.

But Link, who was silent at first, said calmly:

"Have you met him in private?"

Emily said with great interest:

"I didn't expect that your attention would be on this place. I thought you would ask me what he said to me immediately."

Link sneered and said:

"What else could it be? It's just some innocuous little information of little use."

"You guessed wrong this time." Emily smiled, "Professor Snape really provided us with some important information this time.

He said that Voldemort had recently been trying to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic with his Death Eaters.

Just because the Ministry of Magic has suddenly strengthened security recently, the infiltration progress has been very slow. "

"That means Voldemort and his friends are still making progress in their infiltration, right?" Percy said anxiously, "To be honest, this will be a serious threat to the Ministry of Magic, including our entire DA! How far has he penetrated? Is there any explanation?”

Emily shook her head, and then added:

"Professor Snape should know this much about this. No matter how specific the information is, he, a non-core member, cannot have access to it."

Percy lowered his head in distress and began to think hard, probably trying to figure out which people in the Ministry of Magic were the most suspicious.

The Ministry of Magic has become his home base.

If he was bribed by Voldemort or used the Imperius Curse to control one or two key figures, it would be a disaster for him.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually becoming dull, Cedric tried to persuade him:

"If Professor Snape's news is true, then this can be considered good news, right?

Although he proved that Voldemort did have thoughts about the Department of Mysteries, he could also prove that Harry's dream was false, right?

After all, Professor Snape also said that Voldemort and the others have not yet fully penetrated the Ministry of Magic. "

Hearing this, John and others were relieved.

They have just now taken control of Hogwarts and stabilized it.

At the moment, the power of Hogwarts has not yet been developed. To be honest, many people in the DA army prefer to continue to develop for a while and accumulate more power than to fight Voldemort and the others immediately.

However, what they didn't expect was that Cedric only paused for a moment before continuing:

"The only thing I can't understand is why Voldemort and the others are so obsessed with the Department of Mysteries?

Could it be that there really is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes hidden inside? "

As soon as this statement came out, the nerves of others who had just relaxed became tense again.

They all knew if there were indeed Horcruxes hidden in the Department of Mysteries.

Then they can't do anything if they can't think of it.

"There are no Horcruxes there, I'm sure of that."

Link's determined voice drew everyone's attention back.

Cedric frowned and said:

"This doesn't make sense. Otherwise, why would Voldemort and the Death Eaters have to break into a place like the Department of Mysteries?"

"No, that makes sense, because there is something even more important to Voldemort hidden there." Link deliberately paused and said with a smile, "Prophecy! A prophecy about Voldemort's demise!"

Cedric was obviously stunned when he heard this.

Most people at the scene had the same reaction, except Si Gefen, who frowned in surprise.

Link said expressionlessly:

"The man with the energy to conquer the Dark Lord approaches - born into a family that has defeated the Dark Lord three times - born in the seventh month.

This is that prophecy.

Otherwise, you wouldn't think that Voldemort would really have enough time to kill the Potter family, right?

In fact, the reason why he did that was entirely guided by Trelawney's prophecy.

But the problem is that this prophecy is actually incomplete, and the second half of it has not been known to Voldemort.

And now, the prophecy ball that records the complete content of that prophecy is stored in the Memory Hall of the Department of Mysteries. "

"So, Voldemort is so deliberately plotting against the Department of Mysteries because he wants to get the prophecy ball?" John seemed to suddenly think of something, turned to look at Percy and said, "Senior Weasley, otherwise you just want to get the prophecy ball?" Take that prophecy ball out of the Department of Mysteries, right? It shouldn't be too difficult for you, and it can just stop Voldemort."

Percy said angrily:

"What do you mean it's not too difficult? Let me tell you, it's very difficult. It can even be said that there is no possibility of success at all!

I've told you, the Department of Mysteries is directly responsible to the Wizengamot Council!

And now the Wizengamot Council is very dissatisfied with the fact that we control Fudge as a puppet!

Although they do not have direct authority over us, they will never approve our request! "

John was speechless and could only turn his head to look at Link angrily.

Others reacted similarly.

Faced with this situation, the only person who can make real decisions is Link.

Gu</span>When Link saw this, he chuckled and said:

"Percy, how is the training of Scrimgeour's Auror unit going?"

Percy seemed confused by Link's sudden change of subject. He froze for a moment before replying:

"After spending more than 70% of the entire Ministry of Magic's budget this year, he finally rebuilt an Auror force.

This unit was previously sent to hunt down the Dementors and Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban. After experiencing a series of battles, their current combat effectiveness is pretty good.

At least, it is much stronger than the DA student army we have now.

you mean? "

Link smiled even more happily.

He nodded slightly and said:

"In that case, let's just follow the plan.

Didn't Voldemort want Harry and even us all to go into the Department of Mysteries?

Then let's let him succeed once.

At the same time, we also lured Dumbledore and the others there.

As it happens, Fudge and Scrimgeour are almost useless.

Let’s solve it once and for all this time. "

Cedric and Percy both had excited smiles on their faces when they heard this.

From Link's words, they heard something different.

……

In the Gryffindor lounge.

The Harry trio were anxiously waiting for Sirius Black's reply.

As early as the first time they left the Room of Requirement, they had written letters asking about Sirius's current situation and expressing concerns about Harry's dreams.

In addition, in order to deliver the goods to No. 12 Grimmauld Place as quickly as possible, the stingy Ron even took out his savings and used the expensive express service of the Owl Post Office in Hogsmeade Village, which means sending a special person to directly apparate. Deliver the message.

Although this method of communication will be affected by the Loyalty Charm in No. 12 Grimmauld Place, it should be delivered and a reply should be received within 10 minutes at the latest.

However, several hours have passed now, and the three of them still haven't received any news.

Ron paced anxiously back and forth in front of the fireplace, while Harry covered his face with his hands and lay on the table without saying a word.

Hermione frowned and stared at the two of them, and said with some distress:

"Perhaps we should ask Professor McGonagall if she has any news. When we went to see her after writing the letter, she said she would write to Dumbledore to inform him."

"Come on, Hermione." Ron said impatiently, "We just went to Professor McGonagall's place half an hour ago. Do you still remember how she answered us? 'Sorry, kids, I'm afraid the reply will be It's later than we expected!'"

"Then maybe the reply will come now?"

"Hermione, be realistic! Ever since Link helped drive Umbridge away and established the committee system, Professor McGonagall has been very hostile to us! She won't help us!"

"How can you say that about Professor McGonagall? She is a good professor. Have you forgotten her..."

"Yes, yes, she is a good professor! But what happened? What was she doing when we were being bullied by Umbridge? Wasn't she just a bystander?"

……

While Hermione and Ron were quarreling, two brothers, George and Fred, walked into the common room talking and laughing.

Since it was class time at this time, George and Fred also skipped class, so the Harry trio were the only ones in the entire common room.

George and Fred looked at each other, smiled evilly and sneaked up behind Ron, lifted him up one by one and said gloomily:

"We just heard someone speaking ill of Professor McGonagall?"

Ron, who was having an argument with Hermione, was startled, and his whole body became excited.

But after seeing clearly that the people holding him were George and Fred, Ron's face turned as red as a cooked lobster.

George and Fred burst out laughing at this, their favorite kind of sibling mischief.

Normally, Ron could only scold them at this time, and then after being scolded by them until he couldn't reply, he would run back to the dormitory crying and write a letter to his mother to complain.

However, this time, Ron's face quickly turned gloomy after turning red.

He pointed a trembling finger at George and Fred and said:

"Okay! Father and mother are in danger now, but you two are still teasing me! I really should go talk to Brother Charlie about this and see how he will teach you a lesson!?"

Upon hearing Charlie's name, George and Fred shuddered at first.

With their tempers, they had been beaten by Charlie, their eldest brother, since they were young, so they both had conditioned reflexes.

But they reacted quickly.

Just now... Ron seemed to say that his father and mother were in danger?

The two of them turned to Ron with a straight face and said:

"What the hell is going on here?"

Ron recounted everything that happened throughout the day with great resentment.

After finishing the story, perhaps because he was aroused again, Ron's eyes turned red, and he threw himself into the arms of George and Fred, the two brothers who had just teased him, and cried.

At this time, George and Fred's expressions were extremely ugly.

While patting Ron gently for comfort, they frowned and asked Harry and Hermione:

"You said that Link asked you to try to contact Sirius and Dumbledore yourself first?"

"That's it." Harry also raised his red eyes and said, "He said that he needs to ask Percy about the situation in the Ministry of Magic first. In order to prevent wasting time, let us contact Sirius at the same time. …”

"Do you really think he won't be able to contact Sirius or Dumbledore?"

Before Harry could finish his words, he was interrupted by George and Fred, "Don't be naive Harry, Link's abilities and connections are far greater than we imagined! Not to mention he can also enter and leave the Grimoire." No. 12 Mo Plaza. As long as he wants, he can go there in person to confirm the situation at any time!

However, more than two hours have passed until now, and you have not received any information from there.

Do you understand what this means? "

"Dai... what does it represent?"

Harry asked tremblingly.

He was in a panic now, and a terrible thought was slowly rising in his mind.

"We don't know either!" George and Fred sneered, "So let's not make any wild guesses here and go directly to Link for an explanation!"

George and Fred stopped talking to Harry and dragged Ron, who was crying non-stop, straight to the Requirement Room on the eighth floor.

Seeing this, Harry and Hermione looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and quickly followed.
