[HP] The Seven Deadly Sins

"So, what do we do next?" Moody asked.

"We need a plan—hey, you two!" Hermione looked helplessly at Harry and Ron who had already pulled out the Invisibility Cloak and Horcruxes.

"We need to do something," said Harry firmly.

Awesome.Moody raised his eyebrows in his heart: "We are going to Hogwarts? But how do we get in?"

"Let's go to Hogsmeade first, and then figure out a way." Harry said decisively, "The three of us use the Invisibility Cloak, Professor Moody—"

"I can be invisible myself." Moody said affirmatively, and at the same time paid homage to the indecisive little Harry who passed away seven years ago in his heart.

But the moment they landed in Hogsmeade, a scream pierced the night sky, and a dozen Death Eaters rushed out of the bar.

"Screaming Charm." Harry heard Moody curse under his breath, "I should have thought of that."

It's useless to say this now, in addition to the Howling Charm, Hogsmeade is also enchanted with anti-apparition spells, and they can't attack Death Eaters, which would give away their location.For a while, Harry and the others were helpless.

It would be fine if it was just a dilemma, but the Death Eaters didn't even give them a chance to retreat.

"Let's get the dementors out," someone suggested. "They'll find Potter soon, and they won't kill him."

Good idea, Moody murmured inwardly, why hadn't he discovered that there were such talents among the Death Eaters before.

"We have to summon the Patronus," Harry said nervously.

"Yes, but not you," said Moody. "Your Patronus is a stag and pretty much everybody knows, and taking the Patronus now would definitely give you away. Ron—oh, never mind, Hermione, summon your Patronus."

"I, I can't—" Hermione waved her wand, but only a few strands of silver emerged from the tip of the wand, and the Patronus didn't even come out in basic shape.Her face flushed red.

Moody blinked unexpectedly and frowned. "Okay, then I'll come."

"That's likely to be revealing, Professor," Harry said with a hint of meaning.

Moody glanced meaningfully at where Harry was, but Harry and the others couldn't see it. "Never mind," he said, "they don't recognize my Patronus."

The clammy cold air approached them, and just when Harry and the others couldn't help their teeth chattering, a silver light flowed past them, and that silver light turned into a doe, wherever it went The dementors dispersed.

"It's Potter! I see the Patronus! It's a deer!"

"You fool! That's not Potter's Patronus!" said one, disappointed. "It's a doe, with no horns. Potter's Patronus is a stag."

"Then who is that?"

"God knows, it's not Potter anyway. Tsk, what a bad luck." Those Death Eaters cursed, but they didn't mean to go back to the bar.

"It should be those people from the Order of the Phoenix, right? Even if they can't catch Potter, those people can get some money in exchange."

"Go, Harry." Moody's voice sounded abruptly, and then he grabbed Harry and they walked quickly towards a small door in the side street.

Before they could knock, the small door opened by itself, and a tall, thin figure who Harry recognized as the owner of the Pig's Head pub let them in silently.

What is going on outside the door has nothing to do with them, at least they are safe now.

"You fools, you actually came here." The bar owner said roughly, looking at the three people who took off the invisibility cloak, "What are you thinking?"

"I can't thank you enough," Harry said. "You saved our lives."

The barkeeper angrily fiddled with the flame in the fireplace. "Then how did you know you were coming to me?"

"I brought them here." Moody's figure was revealed.

"Mad-Eye." The bar owner sighed, "I knew it. You have been missing with these three people for more than half a year."

Moody's was noncommittal.

"Since Mad-Eye is here, it seems useless for me to persuade the three of you to leave early." The bar owner's sharp blue eyes stared at them through pearly white lenses, "But I still have to say, you'd better go immediately." transfer."

"We can't," said Harry, "we need to get into Hogwarts."

"Don't be a fool," said the barman quietly.

"We have to."

"No one has to do anything."

"Time is running out, Dumbledore - your brother - wants us to -"

"My brother wants many things." Aberforth was not surprised that Harry recognized him. "He will pay any price for it. You may be just a part of his plan. Get out of here, boy. Better not stay in England."

"I have a mission!"

"Leave it to someone else," said Aberforth dryly, looking at Moody. "Mad-Eye will do it for you. He's a very good Auror."

Did I get shot again?Moody rolled his eyes mentally.

"This is my task, and Dumbledore wants me to do it," said Harry.

"As I said, the only thing Albus cares about is his greater good."

"I don't believe it," interrupted Hermione. "Dumbledore loved Harry."

"Then why didn't he let Harry save his life?" Aberforth disapproved, "but asked him to do a very dangerous mission that he didn't know whether he would succeed or not?"

"For the greater good!" Harry replied, ahead of Hermione, "yes, for the greater good."

Aberforth stared at him blankly.

"Sometimes we have to think about more than our own safety! The greater good! The good of all!" said Harry, breathless with excitement, "Not just our own safety, this is war! I know what my end may be, but I'm going to carry on."

Aberforth scowled, looking at Harry with those very Albus-like eyes.

"Okay, Dumbledore." Moody interrupted them impatiently, "Whether you like it or not, we must use your secret passage today."

Aberforth didn't say anything more, and opened the secret passage for them in silence.

"Good luck," he said finally.

"So you're ready to die, Harry?" Moody asked softly as they walked side by side in the aisle.

"Yes." Harry gave Moody a deep look, "I'll try to live as long as I can, but if I do die here..." He didn't continue.

"And what about the others?"

"what?"

"What if other people die in this war?"

Harry's expression hardened. "I don't want to think about such things," he said. "But this is war, Professor, and there will always be sacrifices."

"Is it okay even if it's Ginny Weasley who died?"

"Ginny is not yet an adult, she doesn't have to go to war."

"Then let's assume such a situation." Moody pressed harder and harder, "Ginny Weasley on one side, and peace in the wizarding world on the other, which one do you choose?"

"It's a nonsense assumption, professor. I don't have to make such a choice."

"I would like to know."

"Okay." Harry gave in immediately, spinelessly. "Reluctantly, but if I can only choose one... well, of course it's peace. I'm just sorry for the Weasleys." He muttered a few more words , sinking into deep self-loathing for a few seconds.

"is it?"

"But Professor, why Ginny?"

"Don't you like her?"

"What?" Harry was stunned for a second, "No, no, no, you must listen to my explanation! Professor! Professor!"

Moody walked briskly on to himself, ignoring him at all.

This passage leads to the Room of Requirement, where there are many students who can't stand the pair of Death Eater professors in Hogwarts, most of them are members of DA. After seeing Harry, besides being excited and excited, they can't wait Expressed his desire to rebel.

How unpopular are you at Hogwarts, Snape?Moody let out a groan inwardly.

Harry was going to follow Luna to the Ravenclaw Tower to see what the Ravenclaw diadem looked like, Ron and Hermione were waiting for him in the Room of Requirement, and as for Moody—

"Aren't you coming with us, Professor?" Harry asked.

"No," Moody replied, "I have my own business to attend to."

"what?"

But Moody didn't answer him, just for a moment, his figure disappeared again.

The effects of the Polyjuice Potion were weakening. Mary shook the gourd on her waist, but there was not much left in it.

Where others could not see, her hair slowly returned to black, her magic eyes fell out of their sockets with a bang, and the wooden artificial leg had to make room for the straight and beautiful real leg.

"I want to see Severus Snape." Mary said when she came to the headmaster's office.

"Of course, as long as you say the password." The stone beast at the door of the principal's office said.

"Damn password, I don't know." Mary pulled out her wand a little irritably, "Tell Snape to come out and open the door, or I'll blow you to pieces."

The stone beast raised its head proudly, as if it wanted to express its heroism that it would rather die than surrender, but before its neck was raised to 45 degrees, the door opened by itself.

"Come in." Snape said briefly, and walked inside.

Mary glanced at the stone beast again before walking in, and vaguely heard thoughts such as "fallen" and "violating my dignity".

"The Polyjuice Potion is in the third cauldron from left to right." Snape said to Mary without looking up.

Mary looked at the potions. "No," she said, "it's unnecessary, the war is about to begin."

Snape's pen paused, and finally looked straight at Mary: "Potter is at Hogwarts now?"

There was no need for Mary to answer, because the sudden burning sensation on his arm already explained everything—Harry was not only at Hogwarts, but was also discovered by the Carlo brothers and sisters, a pair of Death Eaters!

"I thought I could finally let him do something by himself." Marie stroked her left arm, biting her teeth.

"Where did you get this confidence?" Snape's expression was not very good.

"He recognized me." Mary frowned. "He's been testing me, although it's all very clumsy tricks."

"Oh?" Snape was a little surprised, "I thought you were a master of acting, Flamel."

"Not as good as you," Mary shot back. "What are you going to do now?"

"What's the point?" Snape stood up, "I'm going to find him, I can't let Potter be caught by Death Eaters."

"What happened after you found him?" Mary asked, "Are you finally going to show your true position? It doesn't matter at all, but what about Lucius and Narcissa? You think the two people who are close to you will not be implicated ?”

Snape fell silent.

"Take him around the castle," said Mary. "It would be best if you meet a professor who finds out on purpose, and that person will undoubtedly challenge you to a duel to keep Harry safe."

"and then?"

"Then you can pretend to be defeated and wait outside the castle." Mary shrugged, "You can't help much in Hogwarts anymore."

"Suppose the teacher who watches the night is Trelawney?"

"That's a pity." Mary made a sad expression, which couldn't be more hypocritical.

The author has something to say: Mary finally doesn’t have to act under the skin of Moody. The war begins in the next chapter, but it will take one or two more chapters to finish.
