Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

After eliminating the disharmonious factors, the atmosphere of the subsequent meeting was naturally very harmonious.

After all, it was a major matter related to the safety of the entire magical world, and the wizards attending the meeting enthusiastically put forward various ideas.

And perhaps it was because the entire upper class of British wizards were gathered together, and Dumbledore was the backbone - even if he didn't say a word and just sat there, it seemed to have some kind of magical magic field that made people feel calm.

Therefore, apart from the inevitable panic when they first heard the news about the 'mysterious man', all the wizards did not show too many gaffes.

As for those pure-blood family wizards who seem to be excluded from the world, they are engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Because they realized that after this meeting, they would no longer have the opportunity to jump left and right, eat both sides, and could only choose one of the two camps: wizard society and Voldemort.

Therefore, they have to carefully weigh the pros and cons of the two.

As a result, a scene like this appeared in the splendid long hall:

On both sides of an overly long dark table, on those seats near the door, a group of wizards dressed in different styles were discussing issues lively;

On the other side, the atmosphere was completely different——

On the high-backed chair facing the door, an old wizard with a white beard was closing his eyes to meditate;

On the right hand side of the old wizard, the eyes of those well-dressed and noble wizards would secretly collide with each other from time to time, and then separate at the first touch;

To the left of the old wizard, those wizards with serious expressions and formally dressed gathered together from time to time, muttering something in a low voice, and then sat up straight again, staring quietly at the wizard opposite;

There is no communication between the left and right;

The middle part of the long table seems to neutralize the atmosphere at both ends. The air is neither too warm nor too solemn.

- This is exactly the opposite of what it was like at the beginning of the meeting.

This strange phenomenon lasted for two hours, and then something gradually changed - pure-blood family wizards began to take the initiative to talk to Ministry of Magic officials.

This is a signal, a signal that a pure-blood family wizard has a tendency to choose:

Between wizarding society and Voldemort, they began to favor the former.

Because after careful thinking, these pure-blood family wizards discovered that following Voldemort seemed to have no future:

The disastrous defeat of the last Wizarding War was still fresh in my mind.

Even if he makes a comeback again, and even announces his comeback in a sensational way like killing the Minister of Magic, what will happen?

You know, Dumbledore is still not declining, and among the rising generation, there is also Harry Potter, the son of prophecy.

Although they were unwilling to believe that a one-year-old child or a little wizard who had just started learning magic could pose any threat to the powerful Dark Lord.

But 11 years ago, Voldemort's accidental loss in that mansion did cause cracks in his invincible image.

And even if the Dark Lord now once again reminds the world of the deep despair he once brought, it still cannot hide the fact that he was defeated in his heyday - this will greatly encourage all wizards who resist Voldemort, so that those people will not No matter how easy they choose to surrender, it will also make these "subordinates" who have no loyalty to Voldemort and only succumb to his power to have dissatisfaction.

After all, from the beginning, these pure-blood family wizards only invested in Voldemort because of his potential and pure-blood theory of glory.

At that time, the pure-blood forces were getting weaker and weaker, and the emergence of Voldemort was like a beacon that suddenly appeared in the darkness, giving them hope of growing again.

It's not that they didn't realize Voldemort's huge ambition, but that's exactly what they wanted!

Moreover, they have the confidence to control him and hide behind him to gain the greatest benefits!

Of course, this inexplicable confidence did not last long, as Voldemort's growth exceeded their expectations.

Immediately after the two-level reversal, before they could react, Voldemort had already taken the absolute initiative, and they were forced to become Death Eaters.

Moreover, when Voldemort truly rose, they discovered that they were not only wrong about one or two points, but they were totally wrong, so wrong!

Where is Voldemort being a beacon in the darkness? He is clearly a crazy monster that lures his prey!

After tearing off his disguise, he reveals his cold, cruel, secretive and conceited dark nature from head to toe.

He has always been a self-centered egoist.

Whether it is enemies, followers, Muggles or purebloods... in Voldemort's heart, there is almost no difference. Only he is qualified to be above everyone else.

However, Voldemort at that time was already so powerful and terrifying that it was like a shadow that enveloped the entire world.

They dare to be angry but dare not speak out. They feel aggrieved and regretful in their hearts, but they dare not be negligent in their actions.

Because that would be twisted by Voldemort into disloyalty, and then feed them to snakes...

Therefore, at this moment, under the influence of the positive atmosphere around them, the rationality in the minds of several pure-blood family wizards finally briefly overwhelmed the fear of Voldemort in their hearts. They quickly exchanged looks and felt that they would not be on the wrong team again this time. !

Apparently, the officials of the Ministry of Magic are also very satisfied with this transformation of pure-blood family wizards.

A few seconds ago, there was some awkward situation between the two, but it suddenly became clear.

However, Lucius's pale pointed face remained tense.

At this time, Kingsley suddenly asked the old wizard next to him:

"Gsilda, do you remember the Dark Mark of 'Mysterious Man'?"

The wizard is the Ministry of Magic official who was explained to Lucius before, and his position is one of the elders of the Wizengamot.

Gsilda was stunned for a moment when she heard Kingsley's words, and then immediately reacted and said:

"Of course, that is the pattern of a huge skull with a snake spitting out of its mouth. It is the action mark of the 'Mysterious Man' and the mark of the Death Eaters. It is branded on the left arm of everyone who joins the ranks of the Death Eaters. superior."

Kingsley nodded:

"That should be an ancient marking magic. Understanding it may help us quickly grasp the whereabouts of the 'Mysterious Man' and his Death Eaters."

"I remember that during the Wizarding War, the Ministry of Magic had been conducting relevant research. After the 'Mysterious Man' suddenly disappeared, the research files were sealed. They can be retrieved later and the Department of Mysteries can continue to conduct in-depth research. They can even invite people to attend today's meeting. Wizard expert assistance.”

Hearing this, Geselda nodded thoughtfully and replied:

"understood."

"If necessary, the Malfoy family will be happy to provide corresponding help." Lucius suddenly spoke and added calmly.

"Thank you to the Malfoy family for their generosity. I believe our cooperation will be pleasant." Kingsley replied calmly.

Lucius's slightly tilted chin moved up and down slightly, and then fell silent again.

Meanwhile, Black House.

Sirius's bloodshot eyes were staring intently in front of him, trying to widen his eyes, as if trying to see something vague.

Not far in front of him, he saw a mysterious man shrouded in mist.

The figure of this mysterious man is hazy, and even his height, shortness, fatness and thinness are hard to see clearly.

Moreover, he was obviously standing in front of Sirius, but Sirius felt that the person in front of him seemed to be very far away from him.

"Do you think that since I appear in front of you in this posture, I am still worried about letting you see something?" Suddenly, the mysterious man said.

The voice wasn't as familiar as Sirius expected, but it still felt strange to him.

Because the sound was close to his ears, very clear, and it was extremely inconsistent with his sense of distance.

This mysterious man is naturally Amon, and the magic he uses to hide his figure is actually a secret spell.

However, the hidden object is not himself, but part of the light he emits.

The root of this ability is the deepening of the "magic" ability of "Professor Magic" in the "Master of Mystery" stage.

It has changed from the original magic combination form to the magic fusion form, and the sophistication of magic has been strengthened to a certain extent.

The ability to conceal part of the light comes from the latter, and Amon's previous magic that affected Sirius' emotions comes from the former.

As for Amon not doing this before, it was just because he didn't think it was necessary to change from a crow back to a human form and add another layer of covert measures;

The reason why he chooses this method of hiding now is that he was forced to change from a crow back to human form after the horizon prophecy.

Of course, wanting to see Sirius's "wistful" expression at this moment also played a large part in it.

Amon straightened his crystal-ground monocle and chuckled.

"Has your condition improved?" Sirius decided to give up thinking about the sense of violation and instead focused on Amon. Then he noticed the smile in Amon's tone, so he guessed.

In response, Amon pinched the monocle in his right eye and nodded indifferently.

Then, he glanced at the books scattered on the ground around Sirius, and chuckled:

"It seems like you haven't found the book yet?"

As he spoke, he adjusted his monocle again.

The books on the floor started flying and returned to their original positions on the bookshelf.

When Sirius heard this, he recovered from his surprise that Amon did not appear in the form of a crow.

He immediately clenched his fists and asked:

"How much do you know about Regulus?"

Hearing this, Amon looked at Sirius with a strange look and chuckled:

"How could you be stupid enough to ask me such a question?"

Sirius frowned in confusion.

Seeing this, Amon clicked his tongue and said:

"Do you think it's me who spends more time with Regulus Black, or the house elf who spends more time with him?"

Sirius' eyes widened momentarily.

"Kreacher!!!" Sirius's roar sounded in the library before he could react.

But strangely, the house elf who was bound to appear when summoned by his master did not appear in front of Sirius this time.

Sirius was stunned for a moment, then looked at Amon.

Amon adjusted the monocle on his right eye and smiled:

"Don't be so excited. You will have plenty of time to deal with your family affairs later. Now let's get back to the point."

In fact, after Amon entered the library, he hid the door of the library, which would not arouse the stress response of the Black Mansion barrier. At the same time, without a "door", it is naturally impossible to enter and leave - —If the Fooling Spell could not be used on non-living targets at this stage, this process could be simpler!

Of course, no matter what, Sirius will definitely not understand how Amon managed to prevent the house elf from responding to the master's call. Moreover, he does not understand what Amon means by "the topic", so he can only He frowned and looked at Amon.

"Do you Black family members all have such poor memories?"

"Didn't I say that you have to choose one of the two options?" Amon asked with interest.

"But you didn't say what the second option was." Sirius frowned and replied subconsciously.

"Then I'll tell you now." Amon nodded and stroked the monocle made of crystal.

"..." Sirius half-opened his mouth, a little speechless.

Seeing Sirius's appearance, Amon pinched his chin, raised the corners of his mouth a little, and smiled happily:

"Your second option is that I give you the book and the belongings of your brother Regulus Black. In exchange, you have to give up hunting Peter Pettigrew."
