HP solves the mystery

Chapter 91 Child of Destiny

Professor McGonagall left early, and she wanted to return to the castle to handle matters related to the school board.

Dumbledore was ready to leave after interviewing Andre, but when he saw that the next candidate on the list was Cassandra's great-great-granddaughter, he waited a little longer.

The person who came was very thin, wearing a pair of glasses that took up most of his face, with some chains and beads hanging around his neck. His clothes were not old, and he looked a little downcast.

"Good day, Headmaster Dumbledore." Trelawney had graduated from Ravenclaw ten years ago and was still a little timid when she saw the teacher who taught her Transfiguration.

Dumbledore smiled kindly and ordered a glass of violet water for her. After seeing her relax, he started the interview.

"You're going to interview the teacher of the divination class, right?" he asked softly.

"Oh, yes, yes." Trelawney took out a glass ball and put it on the table, and asked hesitantly, "Do you need me to show off my ability?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly. Of course, the interview result was not satisfactory. He was thinking about how to politely refuse.

At this moment, Trelawney's body opposite her began to tremble violently, her distracted eyes became sharp, and she made a harsh sound.

A 'prophecy' affecting the future was born.

Dumbledore wasn't very interested in divination and prophecy. He didn't believe in it at all. If he was interested in Trelawney, he might as well ask Gellert for a prediction.

Someone passing by heard the first few sentences and thought this was an opportunity, so he publicized the prophecy.

Even the Daily Prophet published those predictions, and there was a lot of discussion.

Voldemort is now at the peak of his power. Since he controlled the violence in his heart and sent people to kidnap Muggle scholars, his reputation in the wizarding world has miraculously improved.

But when people were reminded of this prophecy, they all lamented when they thought of all the atrocities he had committed in the past.

"You mean, born in a man who defeated me three times... born at the end of the seventh month... I personally marked him as a powerful enemy..." Voldemort had a playful look on his face, and tapped on the table with his well-joined fingers, speaking clearly, "Have A child born of energy I don't understand will 'conquer' me..."

Dolokhov's twisted face showed cruelty. He touched the wand on his waist and took a step forward.

"Sir, do you need me to kill the child in the prophecy?" He seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

Voldemort didn't want to pay attention to this prophecy, but his soul, which had been cut too many times, was screaming crazily, wanting him to kill the 'Crisis' with his own hands with his wand.

But considering that in the magical world, prophecies really do exist, I have to think more about it.

"Let's search secretly. If we find out... maybe this prophecy is the conspiracy of that guy from the Order of the Phoenix." Voldemort said through gritted teeth, holding back the pain from his soul.

Dolokhov bowed respectfully, then quietly withdrew.

Dumbledore felt bad when he saw the newspaper and had to invite Trelawney to Hogwarts in advance to protect her.

He also used special tools to notify the pregnant members of the Order of the Phoenix and asked them to hide so that they would not be able to escape when Voldemort had murderous intentions.

Dumbledore pressed his temples tiredly. This was just an interview. Who was muddying the waters?

In this tense atmosphere, Lily's dream career as a Hogwarts teacher came to an end, and she could only hide in the old house in Godric's Hollow to avoid being persecuted by Death Eaters.

Sirius thus became the Secret Keeper, but he only lived in Potter Manor to look after Old Potter and the others.

Lupine and Peter saw the newspaper and wrote to Potter Manor to inquire about the situation. Although they could not help much, they could confirm the safety of their friends.

The Order of the Phoenix was well prepared, but the Death Eaters' side was much smoother.

Dolokhov listened to Voldemort's words and investigated carefully, but the traces were still discovered by someone who was interested.

Because no one would wear a black robe in broad daylight, cover their face except for their eyes, and apparate with a wand to the house of a pregnant wizard in England to interrogate her.

After being discovered, Dolokhov stopped hiding and led a few followers around England to arrest people.

Those who don't fit the situation are fine, they'll leave after asking, and they'll also give some galleons to calm their shock.

Those who met the conditions had long since fled, leaving only empty houses; but there were also those who had not had time to escape. A pregnant woman who was due to give birth in July could only be interrogated and locked in the house without being allowed to go out. It was obvious that she was being monitored by Death Eaters. stand up.

"Don't worry, James, it may not be ours." Lily, with her pregnant belly bulging out, comforted her unshaven husband who was tortured by anxiety, and said with some luck, "The Death Eaters haven't killed anyone yet, have they? They Just keep a close eye on those pregnant women..."

James pulled his hair irritably and looked at Lily worriedly with his bloodshot eyes, as if he had made a decision.

"I went to see Principal Dumbledore. There is no midwife at home, and my mother is not here. I want to call a doctor." James hugged Lily and kissed her cheek, "And we went to St. Mungo's for a checkup before. The due date is recorded in the book, so it’s easy for them to find her..."

Lily hugged her husband back after hearing this. Even though Voldemort is no longer cruel, the shadow he left lingers in people's hearts.

The sky in London was gray throughout July, but the rain never fell.

On the last day of the month, a baby's cry was accompanied by thunder, and it rained heavily.

Severus was just about to leave the coffee shop when he was stopped by the heavy rain. With nothing to do, he occupied a seat by the window and took a book to read.

The door of the shop opened and closed, and all the customers running in were taking shelter from the rain.

Severus looked at the rain through the glass window. The critical time had come, and he didn't know whether the destined child would be born.

It rained continuously for three days, and mushrooms sprouted in the forest.

Time has entered September, it is time for school to start, and the streets are full of children going to school.

The oddly dressed men and women with trolleys appeared again at King's Cross station.

There was too much noise when someone crossed the partition wall, and the screeching owl on the car made passersby turn their heads.

Upon seeing this, the Ministry of Magic employees in plain clothes pulled out their wands, cast spells on these people and modified their memories, and superimposed several Muggle Ignore Charms on the surroundings.

After ensuring that all students entered the station and no one escaped, they calculated the time for the train to start and went out to the station to find a restaurant for a meal.

When Severus finished arranging the flower stand, he saw the report about the prophecy in the Daily Prophet. It stands to reason that there have been so many changes in the magical world, why would this prophecy still come out?

Later, Penny came to the coffee shop and learned what she wanted to know. Lily gave birth to a son, and the Potter family had a successor.

"Have you given a name to that child?" He lowered his head and drank the milk tea, thinking deeply.

"Harry, Harry Potter."

Petunia threw a piece of milk cake into her mouth. She seemed to have forgotten to tell the child's birth date. She pointed to the basket in the kitchen, "In it are the mushrooms Vernon and I went to pick. The cream of mushroom soup is delicious. Just remember to eat it while it’s fresh.”

Severus muttered the name Harry Potter and nodded, without asking about the child's date of birth.

"If Lily invites me to attend Harry's 100-day party, I will call Vernon and introduce them to each other. I hope they can get along happily." Petunia rubbed the powdered sugar on her fingers, thinking of her strong boyfriend , with a smile on his face, "Do you still have your teeth-healthy potion and slimming potion? I want to buy some."

Severus stared at her body hidden by the table and looked away before she spoke in embarrassment.

"It's not for me to eat, it's for Vernon to eat," Petunia glared at him and frowned, "Vernon gained a full twenty pounds after we were together!"

Severus was surprised by the weight and happily gave Petunia two bottles.

He had doubts about whether Lily would invite Petunia to the 100-day banquet, especially when the situation was so tense.

But it was Topenny's mouth that conveyed a message of 'beware of mice' like Lily, but I didn't know if she could understand it.

There seem to be more students in Hogwarts school this year than in previous years.

Gryffindor is no longer the house with the most young wizards entering. Slytherin's freshmen have exceeded the twenty mark this year.

Dumbledore was sitting on the high platform stroking his beard. Although he had a smile on his face, there was some worry in his eyes.

The other professors happily toasted to each other in celebration. Slughorn loosened his tie and nodded and smiled at Barty Jr., who was his assistant.

The students below were also whispering about the fact that the number of teachers had doubled this year, and about the age and appearance of the new teachers.

Several Slytherin students were observing Trelawney, the new teacher of the Divination class, the witch who made prophecies without leaving any trace.

Trelawney did not prepare new clothes because it was the beginning of school. She was still wearing a robe that was not old, but she had some strange bracelets on her wrists. She was drinking one glass after another, looking drunkenly. It's a bit crazy to go up there.

Hogwarts School is the safest place in England. Although it could only be considered one of them after being attacked by the Eight-Eyed Spider in the Forbidden Forest before, its defenses have been strengthened a lot now, and forced intrusion is not a good thing.

In Potter Manor, Sirius rode a motorcycle with Muggle shielding spells and disembodiment spells cast on it, and drove quickly towards the center of London.

Lupine and Peter waited in the alley outside Diagon Alley, eating beef burgers and chatting.

"Me? My current job is pretty good, and they don't mind my little furry problems." Lupine threw the greased paper into the trash can after eating, with a peaceful look on his face, "Sirius is not going to Northern Ireland to attend the Quebec competition. Are you trying to select a Dizzy Chaser? He can't do the job of being a teacher."

Peter almost crushed the Coke bottle in his hand after hearing this. He tried his best to find a job, but the job he wanted was rejected.

"Going to participate in the selection? I thought he would choose a job closer to home." Peter whispered, "Didn't Lily give birth to little Harry? James doesn't want the child's godfather to be too far away from him, right?"

Lupine was about to answer when he was interrupted by someone.

"Remus, Peter, long time no see." Sirius straightened his wind-tossed hair and smiled wildly, seemingly unaffected by the prophecy.

"Long time no see, Sirius." Lupine and Peter replied with a smile.

The three of them walked to Peter's house. Mrs. Pedillo warmly entertained them and gave them hot tea and biscuits.

"Is it safe here?" Sirius asked suddenly after a few people chatted for a while.

Peter nodded in confusion and watched Sirius twirling the wand around the room in confusion, chanting a spell from time to time.

"I have something very important to tell you now, which is about the prophecy." Sirius said with a serious face, "None of you can tell it, and you must take an oath."

Peter lowered his head in panic, with an unknown meaning flashing in his eyes.

Lu Ping noticed something carefully, and the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, and the three of them held their wands and made an oath.

"You are all people I have confidence in." Sirius took a deep breath and let out a surprise, "Harry's birthday is the 31st."

Now is the time for students to go to school in September. Although there are thirty-one days in August, it is not worthy of Sirius's careful treatment. This can only mean...

Peter's heart was beating very fast, and he seemed to be stunned by the news, and his breathing became stagnant. He thought of the information provided by the man who worked at Universal, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Lupine was also shocked and had goosebumps. If it was really what he thought, then Lily and James...

"Yes, it's what you think." Sirius looked tired. After holding it in for a long time, he finally found someone to talk to. "If Voldemort is really... I want to ask you to protect James and the others..." he said Sincere and sincere, his eyes were full of worry.

Sirius had been living in James' house since he betrayed the family and was expelled from the Black family. He had long regarded him as his half-brother. Now that his brother was in danger, how could he not be anxious?

"Sirius, we will definitely protect James and the others. Maybe Voldemort will not kill those people?" Lupine recalled what happened in the remote manor and the situation where the werewolves got better, and he became a little shaken, "You know, divination Nothing is reliable."

Sirius' sensitive nerves jumped. He suppressed the annoyance in his heart and sighed helplessly.

"Maybe, Remus, but you can't go wrong with caution." He said worriedly, slapping Remus in his heart, and turned to talk to Peter.

Lupine could feel Sirius's sudden change of attitude. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything to solve the problem, so he could only eat the cookies.

Although Peter was chatting with Sirius, his mind was filled with the money he could get from selling the information, so he answered a little absent-mindedly.

He kept his head lowered, pretending to listen carefully. Sirius was deceived by his appearance, and compared with Lupin's attitude, he turned towards Peter in his heart.

When it was almost dark, Sirius and Lupine came out of the room.

"Remus, do you think Voldemort's transformation is good or bad for the wizarding world?" Before leaving, Sirius suddenly said something and asked himself, "No matter what, I hope no more people will be sacrificed. .”

After saying that, he drove off on his motorcycle, blowing the exhaust fumes from Lupine's face.
