I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

Order of the Phoenix.

"Voldemort has lost the help of the Death Eaters," Moody said, tapping his wooden leg on the floor, "but we all know his ambitions, and he'll look for something else."

"Werewolves, giants, banshees..."

"He could also find some new followers."

Moody is already retired, but he still knows Voldemort very well.

Lupine went on to say: "Voldemort was hit hard at the Ministry of Magic and he almost died."

"Yes, we all know, Moonface." Sirius interrupted him, not wanting to recall the incident, "but now, he's still outside, and we can't easily leave the Order of the Phoenix."

"Weasley's magical wall clock is always pointing to mortal danger, which means that we may die at any moment."

Tonks said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Magic has not given up on the search either. The new headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Slughorn, has applied for Auror protection on campus."

"He also knows how dangerous Voldemort is now," Lupine said in a deep voice. "With the loss of Death Eaters, Voldemort loses the possibility of doing evil everywhere, and makes him even more dangerous."

A Dark Lord who has no worries is even more terrifying.

The dark-skinned Kingsley looked at Dumbledore and said, "A bad news is spreading. There is something that can satisfy a wish hidden in Hogwarts."

"We can't confirm whether there are still Voldemort's henchmen among those pure-bloods. This news is not good for us."

"Holy Grail." Sitting there sideways, Sirius said abruptly, "Is that thing really capable of that?"

"I suppose so, if you're not blinded by something."

The familiar yin and yang tone made Sirius' face darken quickly.

Snape sat on Dumbledore's right hand, and said in a long-drawn tone: "You saw with your own eyes, an old man regained his vitality."

"Really, I'm afraid you haven't seen it. After all, when we were fighting in the Ministry of Magic, you were still trembling in the school holding the cauldron." Sirius immediately returned sarcastically.

Snape looked at him coldly, Sirius was not to be outdone.

"The master of potions, Severus Snape, was tricked by a student's fake death trick." Sirius continued to output, mocking, "I really doubt whether you have the ability not to mislead your students."

"You dare to question me?" Snape said gloomily, "Sirius Black, the broken-rib dog."

The smell of gunpowder between the two of them made Tonks rub his arms together.

Dumbledore interrupted all this.

"You're wrong, Sirius."

It sounded like he was siding with Snape, but it was wrong.

Dumbledore said calmly, "John, died once."

"Impossible, we all know..." Kingsley retorted subconsciously.

"Magic cannot be revived, yes, we all know that." Dumbledore said calmly, "But he did, Sirius met him in the Hall of Death, that arch connects to places that no one knows about."

"Is he the same as the mysterious man?" Tonks said this, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

They all knew that the only person in this century who could have anything to do with it was Voldemort.

Voldemort lost his body in Godric's Hollow and turned into a wandering spirit.

After more than ten years, it was reborn last year.

This is the only possibility they can think of.

Dumbledore skipped the subject, looked at Kingsley and asked, "What's the international response to the other man?"

"It's terrible," Kingsley said, shaking his head. "The ministries of magic of various countries have voted for accountability, and they point to ineffective supervision."

"Yeah, who would have thought that he would leave there." Dumbledore's eyes were somewhat disappointed.

grindelwald.

Today's Grindelwald, what else is worth leaving Nurmengard?

"He was last seen in the same place as Voldemort, Germany."

Kingsley said in a deep voice, "We can't find out where it is."

"I'll be looking for some old friends."

Don't underestimate Dumbledore's accumulation of connections over the past century.

Up to the former Nicole Flamel, down to a thief like Mundungus.

They're all part of his network.

Even in foreign countries, there are his old friends.

This meeting ended with the defense of Hogwarts.

Tonks was appointed by the Ministry of Magic as a member to strengthen the defenses of Hogwarts, and the Order of the Phoenix also needed to be careful.

No one knows when Voldemort will retaliate.

...

End of the meeting.

Kingsley and Tonks left.

Sirius found Dumbledore and said, "He's started again."

Dumbledore looked at Mundungus in the corner upon hearing this.

Lupine also came over and said helplessly, "He was digging out Kreacher's bed in the kitchen in the morning, and he was going to sell the things."

Sirius said angrily: "This is not the first time."

"I'll talk to him." Dumbledore called Mundungus over.

The image of Mundungus who was caught stealing is very strange.

Half of his head has hair and the other half has no hair.

Half face black, half face white.

Teeth are constantly falling out and growing back.

During the time he came, he lost another tooth.

"Mundungus, why are you obsessed with stealing Black's property?" Dumbledore was not angry, but asked patiently.

Mundungus bared a tooth and begged, "If I don't pay my debts, I'm going to go crazy."

He was used as a human experiment subject for various products and spent most of his time at Silver Cross Hospital.

He was going crazy, and these experiments had caused him some aftereffects.

The skin color is abnormal and the teeth will fall out.

Recently, he felt that his brain was abnormal, maybe it was the sequelae of the Daydream Curse.

This time he tried to steal something that Kreacher was hiding, wrestled with Kreacher, and was captured by Sirius.

Dumbledore was about to say something when he saw Harry running over in a hurry.

"Sirius, what is this?"

He ran in with a golden locket in his hand to inquire, followed by Hermione and Ron chasing him.

Sirius heard the call and looked over, saw the thing, and said casually: "It's just a broken box, you found it from Kreacher's junk pile?"

"Yes," Harry said hastily, "I mean, where did you get this thing?"

"I don't know," Sirius said in a cloud of confusion, "There are some strange things hidden in the Black house, maybe Kreacher picked them up."

Dumbledore noticed the box, saw the markings on it, and said to Harry, "Harry, show me the things."

Harry was taken aback, seeing Dumbledore's cautious attitude, he handed the things over.

"You know this thing?" Dumbledore asked carefully.

Harry nodded and said, "John has the exact same one."

"That's impossible," said Dumbledore, shaking his head, looking Harry in the eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, this is Salazar Slytherin's locket."

"Slytherin things? Why are they here?" Harry said in surprise.

At this time, Sirius looked more and more wrong, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.

"Among the things Fletcher is going to steal this morning is this locket."

He shifted his gaze to Mundungus, strode forward, grabbed his collar, and roared, "What is your purpose!"

Mundungus' legs trembled, and he said quickly, "I didn't, I just wanted to steal something to pay back the money."

His scared expression didn't seem fake.

Dumbledore stopped Sirius' impulsive behavior, and he put his big hand on Mundungus' shoulder, as if he had discovered something.

"Tell me, who told you to do this?"

Mundungus was terrified, and he kept saying sorry like pouring beans.

"I stole once when I owed too much, and Tommy Shelby told me to continue to pay the debt with these good things."

"Tangmi Shelby?" Lupine was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "Johnny Silverhand's Tangmi?"

"Yes, that's him." Mundungus nodded.

Dumbledore's face changed, and he looked at the things in his hands.

At this moment, he was sure.

"John was looking for it."

He holds Slytherin's locket.

Sirius said to Harry: "Harry, you are doing very well."

He turned his head to look at the box and Dumbledore's expression at the moment, and said, "We seem to have grasped a little secret of that clever boy."

"Use Fletcher, he's really smart."

Harry looked bewildered.

And John didn't know that he was only one step away from the Horcrux of the Order of the Phoenix.

He is making his own layout.

The inconspicuous gossip spread in Knockturn Alley along with the ramblings of the Malfoy lady at a reception.

Like a little spark, it ignites the dry grass and grows bigger and bigger.
