[HP] The Seven Deadly Sins

"I heard that you once destroyed two Horcruxes? How did you do it then?" Moody asked the trio who were frowning.

"I accidentally destroyed the diary in my second year, before I knew it was a Horcrux, of course," said Harry, "with a Gryffindor sword that had been dipped in basilisk venom."

"And what about the ring?"

"That was done by Dumbledore, and he also used the Gryffindor sword."

"So now it looks like we have to find the Gryffindor sword, because we don't know anything else that can destroy a Horcrux." Hermione said anxiously, "I think that's why Dumbledore left the sword as a relic to Gryffindor. Harry."

"It's a pity they were forcibly detained by the Ministry of Magic, those vampires." Ron said disgustedly, "By the way, where is that sword now?"

"Didn't Scrimgeour say that? The Sword of Gryffindor should belong to Hogwarts, so I think it's probably in the headmaster's office, but the headmaster of Hogwarts is now Snape." Harry gritted his teeth. explain.

Moody listened to their discussion in silence. In fact, if he wanted to, it would be easy for Snape to give him the sword of Gryffindor.

But, first, he couldn't explain how he got the Gryffindor sword from Snape.Second, he felt that Harry's safe days were almost over.

In fact, he had already planned it.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Harry and the three of them were startled.

"It's not just the three of us, Mom! Professor Moody is with us!" Ron shouted out the door.

Mrs. Weasley hated Harry, Ron, and Hermione together so much that she was always afraid that the three of them had agreed to leave together, which was exactly what they were supposed to do.

Lupine's gentle voice sounded outside the door: "It's me, Remus Lupine."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Professor Lupine." Harry went to open the door. "What can you do?"

Lupine gave them a hesitant look and whispered, "I want to talk to you."

"Uh, okay."

"You've been staying with Mad-Eye lately." Lupine glanced at the three of them and Moody with a smile in his eyes.

"After all, Barty Crouch pretended to be Moody who taught us for a year. The real Professor Moody is more powerful than we imagined. He can teach us a lot of experience." Harry said casually, pretending again With an anxious look, "I'm sorry, did we delay the work of the Order of the Phoenix?"

This performance can be given [-] points, Moody raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

"No, of course not. You are old too, Mad-Eye, and it's time to rest." Lupine said kindly.

"You didn't say that a month ago," Moody said disapprovingly.

"However, why do you have to stay in the room and lock the door?" Lupine asked meaningfully.

"Just tell us what you want, Lupine, and have something to say to us?" Moody frowned and said loudly.

Lupine put away his smile and said, "I think you already know what Dumbledore told Harry and the others, Mad-Eye."

"Yeah, I see," Moody replied rather crisply.

"Professor Moody!" Ron and Hermione stood up in shock.

"You must have guessed something, right?" Moody ignored the two men and shouted at Lupine, "Let me guess, do you want to follow Harry and the others to complete this mission?"

Harry and the others looked at Moody and Lupine in surprise, and Lupine's face had completely lost all color.

After a while, he replied dejectedly, "You are sharper than before, Mad-Eye."

"But, but how do you know?" Ron asked.

"Because of Tonks." Moody replied with a straight face. "She just found out that she was pregnant a few days ago, but now you came to Harry and said that you would go with him to complete Dumbledore's mission?"

"Yes, I have this question too." Hermione nodded in agreement.

"You want to run away, don't you?" Harry asked.

The room suddenly fell silent.

"You regret marrying Tonks?" Harry continued, looking Lupine straight in the eyes, but his tone was already certain.

"That's right, I shouldn't have married her at all!" Lupine suddenly became hysterical, he jumped up and knocked over the chair, "You don't even know how werewolves are treated in this society, you see me They are all under the protection of the Order of the Phoenix or Dumbledore! But most wizards are completely disgusted with werewolves, and Tonks will be rejected by everyone after I marry... and children, he will definitely follow I, too, would have shamed him if I hadn't!"

"So you gave up protecting them and chose to hide?" Harry looked angrier than Lupine, and he stood up, "You're right, he should be ashamed of you. Because his father Abandoning his wife and children and choosing to realize his own heroism!"

Lupine looked as if he had been punched.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need a coward to accompany us on our adventure." Harry stared at the pale Lupine, his words were angry.

"Stop it, Harry!" pleaded Hermione, but Lupine, gasping for breath, left the room.

"Remus, Remus!" Hermione chased after a few steps, and came back with a sad face.

"You shouldn't have said that to him," Ron scolded Harry.

But Moody said, "Well said, Harry."

"Uh, is it?" Harry said awkwardly.

"If the werewolves don't fight for their rights, no one can help them." Moody sighed and shook his head.

They were silent for a while because of Lupine's matter, and just when Hermione regained her spirits and wanted to continue the discussion, there was a sudden noise and fighting downstairs.

"Oh, it can't be Lupine?" Hermione worriedly wanted to go outside to check the situation, but when she opened the door, a magic spell almost flew past her face, and she shrank back in horror.

"Death Eaters!" her voice trembled. "They're in! They've found it!"

"What?" Harry and Ron showed astonished expressions, but before they could recover, Moody grabbed Harry's hand.

"We've got to get out of here!" he yelled. "You're all grabbing each other, I'm going to Apparate!"

A whirlwind.

"Where are we?" Ron turned pale and looked like he was about to throw up.

"The forest where the Quidditch World Cup was held," Moody replied, taking a few glances at Ron. "Your Apparation doesn't look very good."

In fact, among the three, only Hermione has a higher success rate of apparation, but Harry is more comfortable with the feeling of apparation than Ron.

"When can we go back to Grimmauld Place?" Harry asked.

"I don't think we'll be able to go back, Harry," said Hermione sadly. "It's no longer safe there, as the Death Eaters have found it. Don't know what happened to the others."

Moody was well aware that Snape and Tom were leading the raid, and had no concern for their safety at all.

"Well, let's stay here for a few days, then," he said. "First of all, I think we have to assign a task, Harry, here you go."

"What? Me?"

"Of course, that's still your mission, isn't it? We're just helping you. Intuition is sometimes more important than experience, and Harry your instincts are often correct." Moody nodded approvingly.

Harry was a little flattered by the high praise.

"So, Professor Moody, can you cast some protective magic around you? I think you must be very good at this..." Harry glanced nervously at Moody, obviously not used to giving orders to him, but Moody He left without saying anything.

"Hermione, you're pitching a tent, sorry, this is supposed to be our job—"

"It's only three seconds to me," said Hermione briskly. "Stand up!"

"You're awesome. So, Ron, let's go get something to eat, unless Hermione brought some?"

"No." Hermione shook her head dejectedly. "I didn't expect us to escape so hastily."

The dinner was of course terrible, just some wild mushrooms cooked in a tin with no seasoning, tasted like rubber and the portion was very small.Ron, who was used to Mrs. Weasley's delicious meals, pushed away his portion after only two bites, and Harry and Hermione also ate very reluctantly.

Moody didn't react too much. The boiled mushrooms didn't seem to be any worse for him than the steak and kidney pie.

"I know this is the first time you have eaten such rough food," he said, "but I'm afraid we'll have to eat this for a long time. Just get used to it."

"It must have happened to you a lot when you were an Auror, didn't you?" Ron asked with some awe.

Moody shrugged noncommittally.

They thought it best not to stay in the same place for too long, so they moved the next day, and out of consideration for food, they came to a bush next to a small market town.

This time, Hermione and Ron stayed behind in the task assignment, and Harry and Moody went out to find food, but it was very difficult. As soon as they entered the market town, they felt an overwhelming chill.

"Dementors," Harry said with difficulty through gritted teeth.

In fact, he didn't need to say anything, they all saw the black shadows floating around in the white mist.

"Patronus, Harry." Moody frowned.

In fact, he didn't need to remind him at all. Harry's first reaction after seeing the dementor was to take out his wand and say "Guardian Guard".

But no response.

"Harry?" Moody's surprised expression made Harry a little ashamed, but he still panted and said, "I can't summon him, Professor Moody."

Moody frowned: "Why can't they be summoned?"

"I don't know." Harry was choking, and he just hoped that Moody would summon his Patronus, or that the two of them would get out of here.

Still calm, Moody looked Harry up and down for a long time before saying, "Give me that locket."

Harry's hands and feet were limp, and he really couldn't understand what Moody was doing, but out of trust, he took off the locket anyway.Immediately, his whole body seemed to lighten up, as if what was hanging around his neck just now was not a locket but a stone.

"Try now," Moody said quietly.

They managed to go back with food.

"We probably shouldn't be wearing it," said Hermione worriedly after hearing what Harry and Moody had gone through.

"No, we can't just leave it anywhere," said Harry firmly. "If it gets lost, or gets stolen—"

"Well, then we'll at least take turns wearing it," said Hermione.

"I'll wear it," said Moody suddenly. "It should affect me less than it should affect you."

The three looked at him in surprise, not knowing how he came to this conclusion.

But Moody didn't seem to be talking nonsense to relieve them of the burden, and the locket had little effect on him.Of course, he would yell violently sometimes, but Harry and the others knew that Mad-Eye was always like that, even without the locket.

After filling his stomach, he will have a deeper understanding of the horror of an empty stomach, which is well reflected in Ron.

Although the Weasleys were relatively poor, they never let the children go hungry.Ron was extremely uncomfortable with the status quo. He almost lost his mind when there was no food. Hermione was relatively better. Although her face was more gloomy, she seldom complained. Harry and Moody were very good at starving because of their childhood experiences. .

When the compound potion is not enough, Moody will temporarily leave Harry and the others to find Snape on the grounds of patrolling around. Hermione didn't agree very much at first——Professor Moody, we are always worried every time you come back, What if someone else wasn't you - but after Moody came back with a big bag of food every time, she didn't say much.

At this time, Mary was sweeping the kitchen of Snape's house.

Snape watched his refrigerator being looted with a dark face, his lips trembling, he dared not speak out.

"Don't look at me like that, Severus." Mary shook her finger, "Anyway, you are the principal now, give yourself a raise."

"The headmaster's salary is determined by the trustees," Snape said through gritted teeth.

"Really, that means Lucius is the one who pays you? That would be easier." Mary filled her wine pot with Polyjuice Potion, "I'll ask him to raise your salary later. "

It's not about salary!Snape growled inwardly.

"By the way, when will you be able to give Harry and the others the sword without anyone noticing?" Mary asked about the business.

"I have to wait. The Dark Lord asked me to put the sword in Lestrange's vault. I have to forge it first."

Mary sighed: "Okay, then how do you plan to get Harry and the others to get the sword?"

"Can't I just give it to you?"

"Sev, you are so boring." Mary gave Snape a disgusted look, "Can't you let Harry and the others do something practical?"

"Don't call me that." Snape's expression was more disgusting than Mary's, "Yeah, in order to give the saviors the illusion that they are saving the world, maybe I should hide the sword and use the Patronus to guide them to complete the task." This treasure hunt?"

"Sounds good." Mary nodded solemnly, "It's rare that you are so romantic, Sev."

Snape clogged a mouthful of old blood in his throat.

"Speaking of the Patronus, once we encountered a dementor, and Harry lost the chain and couldn't summon the Patronus, so he almost had to let me do it myself. Really, wouldn't my identity be completely exposed like that? You can't say Mu Didn’t Dee’s Patronus happen to be the same as mine? Tch, how could he have such a beautiful Patronus.” Mary waved her wand half-proudly and half-disdainfully, “My Patronus is a unicorn—huh?”

"Wow." Snape raised his eyebrows at the silvery-white four-hoofed creature, "What a strange-looking unicorn."

"To shut up!"
