Chapter 23 Patronus

Things weren't looking any better at Hogwarts on the first Monday in October. "Education Order No. 20 No. [-]" came into effect, and all student groups must be approved by Umbridge, including the Quidditch team.

Ron once suspected that someone had leaked the news of the defense team - because the team was only formed in the Pig's Head Bar yesterday, the timing was too coincidental - but Hermione firmly denied it.She put a spell on the parchment signed by all the members to ensure that something horrible would grow on the traitor's face, but no one showed signs of it.

This reassured Harry a little.Although he still warned himself not to let down his vigilance against the Dark Lord, it felt good to have someone who believed and admired him—even if there were only a small number of students.For the first time since school started, he felt elated.

However, this good mood was quickly ruined.In Potions, Harry's enhancers had turned into a mess from being so intent on eavesdropping on Umbridge's questioning of Snape.

This gave Snape another chance to empty Harry's cauldron. "Another zero, Potter," he sneered. "You've got to write me an essay on enhancers, highlighting where and why you went wrong, and due in next class. Got it?"

"Got it." Harry replied angrily.They already had Potions homework, and with Occlumency lessons in the evening, he'd have to write all night again.

But Snape didn't walk away immediately, but stared at Harry intently. "Be careful, Potter," he warned in a low, but venomous tone, "I know you cheated on your papers. If you were really good at distinguishing the details, the practice wouldn't be so bad. So, best not to let me Find out how the hell you cheated, otherwise..." He narrowed his eyes dangerously, "I wouldn't mind leaving a few jars of slime grub for you to wash."

Harry, who was furious, also stared back viciously.Snape gave him a menacing smirk and walked over to the Slytherins.

"Of course you won't be caught by him," Ron finally found a chance, and touched Harry's with his arm, quite proudly, "because even we don't know!" It's impossible to know Harry with his toes He became a perfect student, so he gradually believed that Harry had a super cheat that was unknown.Since Harry was never stingy about sharing homework, he decided it was a very good thing.

Hermione frowned, she had always been skeptical of the so-called things with correcting spells. "You're not going to have to do your homework alone again at night, are you, Harry?"

Reluctantly retracting his thoughts, Harry nodded curtly.He didn't see the danger of the crown for the time being, but still subconsciously concealed its existence. "I'll try to go back early at night," he lowered his voice to make sure only the three of them could hear, "Chang Feng wrote back and said see you at the old place."

Divination and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes in the afternoon were unremarkable compared to Potions, while Occlumency in the evening was still torture.Harry wanted to go back to the tower very much, but thinking of the possible risks, he still climbed to the room on the eighth floor honestly.

"You doubled your homework today." Guan Guan soon realized something was wrong. "Isn't it usually a potions treatise?"

Harry rolled his eyes, knowing he couldn't hide. "I was fined," he admitted reluctantly, and then sketched the whole thing, waiting for the other party to laugh.

Sure enough, Guan Mian clicked twice. "You really want to know everything, don't you? At least I can't think of anything worth eavesdropping about Snape's multiple applications to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts and being rejected by Dumbledore."

"Why isn't it worth it?" Harry snapped back, "He was a Death Eater before!"

"Look, didn't you tell the reason?" Crown replied tactfully.

Harry was not convinced. "But Snape is on our side now! Since it is on our side, why did Dumbledore reject him? Could it be that he is still untrustworthy? If that's the case, why did Dumbledore let him teach me how to grow up?" ..." Realizing that he had said too much, he stopped talking abruptly.

But Diadem seemed to have no interest in Harry's unfinished business, and only yawned lazily. "Let me just say, boy, there aren't that many whys, and a lot of things in the world are not black and white."

Harry became more and more unconvinced. "Are you implying that I'm too young to understand?"

"I'm not implying that," Crown continued to yawn, "because it's an obvious fact."

Harry was about to explode.He could almost imagine that if Diadem were a person, he would be squinting at him with casual mocking eyes at this moment. "I'm—not—little—!" he roared.

Crown was unmoved. "I really want to dig out my ears," he said in a fake way, "so I can hear who was yelling just now."

Hitting the soft spot... Harry felt his anger have nowhere to go, deflated like a punctured balloon. "It's like this again," he complained lazily, and leaned back suddenly—the tall mountain of books swayed dangerously—"you are all like this!"

"'All of you'?" Dior repeated, seemingly amused. "I guess that includes Dumbledore, huh?"

Harry shot Dione angrily. "None of your business!"

"Well, even if I'm meddling in my own business," Guan Mian said kindly, "but you have to admit that you haven't done anything worthy of others' admiration for you... What really proves your strength?"

Harry was on the point of retorting, but he saw right away that the diadem was right.The most obvious one is that everyone calls him the savior, but he can escape from death only because of Lily's sacrifice.

But I managed to fend off Voldemort in June, he thought. I didn't defeat the Dark Lord, but I survived and brought back important news.

This is nothing compared to July, he thought again, recalling the feeling of suffocation uncomfortably, Voldemort probably had some concerns and didn't show his real strength...

"My Patronus Charm can repel a hundred dementors at once..." Harry muttered, trying to save himself some face, no matter how much.Regardless of whether it was the Philosopher's Stone incident in the first grade or the Chamber of Secrets incident in the second grade, he relied on the help of Ron and Hermione to some extent, and he had no shame in saying that it was all due to him.

"One hundred dementors?" Crown finally became interested, "When?"

"Third year," Harry replied, doubting that the diadem could pick a fault.

But the crown fell into a long silence.It wasn't until Harry suspected it was asleep that he heard it say, "Seeing is believing."

Harry curled his lips. "You are simply more stubborn than the mirror in my bedroom - it reminds me to tidy my hair in a different way every day." He got up, patted the ashes on his body casually, and tried to recall the happy things at the same time -

"Call God Guard!"

A silver stag leaped from the tip of a holly stick, its bough-like horns gleaming, and circled happily around Harry.

The crown seemed more silent.It took a while before it asked with certainty, "The stag?"

"Yeah," said Harry, looking wistfully at the beautiful animal, "my dad's was a stag, so they called him a prong... Mum's a doe... I haven't seen one, but I've heard it was a stag." so."

Crown was completely silent.Harry felt that it was probably lost in his own thoughts again - it was a strange way to say it, but that was how he felt - and shrugged slightly, turning to his Potions treatise.At the same time, he couldn't help thinking, if he got the defense team right, would he have proved his strength?

It was past midnight before Harry barely finished the two papers and hurried back to the Tower.Fortunately, no sooner had he entered than Sirius emerged from the fire. "Ah, Ron, Hermione," he greeted the two waiting by the fireplace with a grin, and then saw his dusty godson, "you just got back, Harry?"

"Yeah, homework." Harry answered before Hermione.He strode over and threw his schoolbag on the ground, "How's the matter?" Before that, he tactfully cared about Voldemort's movements in the letter.

Sirius looked back at the brick wall, as if to make sure no one was overhearing. "The fireplace may be under surveillance. I can't explain too clearly." He said quickly, "There is no new news recently. But they speculate that he is probably not in the country."

Ron was stunned, and Hermione covered her mouth, obviously thinking in the same direction as Moody.

"Not in the country?" Harry repeated, suddenly realizing.No wonder the link hadn't moved - Voldemort had gone too far and was probably on something else important. "But they should act, right?"

Sirius shook his head. "The current situation is the same as the summer vacation, or even calmer than the summer vacation... I don't know if it is a precursor to a big move."

This seemed to remind Hermione. "No one knows? Dumbledore doesn't know either?"

"Dumbledore said he had a little guess, but it needs to be verified." Sirius continued to shake his head.

That's not like a good reaction.Ron asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by shaking your head?"

"Although Dumbledore didn't say what his conjecture was, he believed that the man's greatest ambition was not to dominate the world—not so far." Sirius disagreed, "Unless there is indestructible evidence, I am very Hard to imagine."

... Isn't the Dark Lord's greatest ambition to dominate the world?

The first time they heard this kind of argument, the eyes of the three children were all round.

"Okay, let's not talk about that," Sirius quickly changed the subject. "I want to know, Harry, didn't that snotlite torture you while teaching you Occlumency? I tried to ask him at the meeting the day before yesterday, but didn't Find an opportunity."

Harry had a hard time answering that question.The honest answer was yes, but he didn't want Sirius to worry. "It's okay." He said vaguely.

Sirius frowned; he could see that Harry didn't want to talk about the subject. "Tell me if you have anything to say," he said seriously, "I'll definitely show him some color!"

"I will." Harry tried to fool him, "By the way, another education order came, and the team suffered."

"Oh, this," Sirius showed an expression of great interest, "I want to know more than the team, what is your Defense Against the Dark Arts team going to do?"

A moment of silence.

None of the three expected that because Mundungus was still following Harry, what they did in Hogsmeade had already reached the ears of everyone in the Order of the Phoenix.Just as they didn't expect, after Sirius suddenly showed a panicked look and disappeared, what appeared in the fire was a stubby hand covered in rings and scratching everywhere - belonging to Umbridge. .
