[hp] stay out of it

Dan Qi,

The letter came suddenly, because there was something important to tell.

At the very beginning, I would like to ask emphatically: Are you still as handy as before with what you have learned at Hogwarts?

The reason for mentioning this is that we suspect that the conflict in the wizarding world can no longer be confined to the wizarding world.In your capacity, the impact of something big happens may be the first to bear the brunt.

Two big things happened in the wizarding world yesterday.

One is that Voldemort set a big trap to hurt Harry - I have some responsibility, Dumbledore gave me the only task is to observe the undercurrent among the students, and I have some responsibility in looking after Harry. Big oversight.

The members of the DA met the Death Eaters in the deserted Ministry of Magic. Fortunately, the Order of the Phoenix arrived in time and did not cause irreparable casualties.It is worth mentioning that Bellini performed really well in this battle, and he deserves to be the son of the Hornby couple. (I killed Sirius' cousin Bellatrix in this battle, which was a bit drastic, but people I cared about showed full tolerance. I was touched...but that's not the point. )

Fudge arrived afterward with the news that the Hornbys had both been killed in a Muggle street during a Death Eater raid.

I have lived with the Hornbys since first grade until last year and they have become like family to me.I have not yet been able to accept the news, much less to fathom the anguish of our dear friend.When I think that this incident will inevitably happen, but I can't help him, and now I can only stay by the side, unable to think of any good way to help him share the pain, I feel even more sad.

Professor McGonagall said that Bellini would be out of school until the end of Thanksgiving, and I could stay with him at his grandfather's.

For the rest of the time after learning the news yesterday, Bellini remained as if he hadn't recovered.This morning he got up in a daze, squinted his eyes and said to me: "Vincent, my dream last night was really scary..."

I sat on the edge of the makeshift bed, stiff as if under a holding spell.

Then he finally came to his senses, fell back on the bed, and pulled the blanket over his face.

At that moment I just wanted to run away.Perhaps instead of staying at Hornby House, I could pretend that everything was as peaceful as ever.

But now hiding under the blanket and trembling is our best friend of four years, yesterday when we faced the door full of unknown dangers, he insisted to go in with me to face the curse - he is a very competent and loyal partner .

I must check this out.Damn Voldemort.

Then I thought maybe inviting you over to live with me would be a further distraction for Bellini.But at this time, he still exerted his keen insight without hindrance.He said it would not be an isolated incident, that his mother's post had been attacked - at this juncture in Voldemort's secret game with the wizarding world, the implications were more than just a violent attack.Moreover, the nature of Mrs. Hornby's work was to detect attacks on non-magical people. This Auror work site was destroyed by Death Eaters, and the spearhead was obviously directed at the Muggle world.

He solemnly reminds you to be careful.Must stay where you are.You are now alone in the Muggle world, and the last thing you should do is to rush back to us and remind everyone that there is still an easy target here.

As usual, the task of detecting these two successive attacks was the full responsibility of the Order of the Phoenix.I will pass on the progress to you as soon as possible.

I hope you can protect yourself while protecting your country.Bellini handed it over to me, and I wholeheartedly accompanied him through this dark period.

Vincent White

In addition, a handkerchief made according to Hermione's idea in DA is enclosed with the letter. In case of crisis, tear it off, and helpers will come right away.

Dan Qi,

We're going there soon, so get ready.

Bellini and Yves are kind of crazy and I can't stop it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Less than five days after the arrival of the last letter announcing the Hornbys' sacrifice and dissuading him from reconnecting with the wizarding world, Dench received another scrawled text.At this time, the previous letter was still in his hand, and the parchment had been stroked and flattened after many readings.

Danqi read the two lines of this short message again—fortunately, he is alone now.

Just after thinking this way, there was a noise in the yard. Dan Qi went to the window and looked, and saw several people pushing and shoving under the castle.

The guards in the courtyard stopped them, and they had already loaded their guns. The three people surrounded seemed to be in a commotion. One of them grabbed the other's right hand, probably preventing him from casting a spell.

Dan Qi poked his head out and amplified his voice: "Let them in."

The guards hesitated.

The gate over there was still locked tightly, and the courtyard was unobstructed. These three people almost came out of the air, which was beyond their cognition.

Before Dan Qi gave another order, the three people surrounded shot/cast several spells, hitting the guards around one after another.They shook their heads, and then meekly made way out of the way.

"You cast a spell on the entire castle to ban phantoms?" Eve exclaimed as soon as they met, this is a big project.

"If the manor wasn't too big, I would have covered this place with spells." Dan Qi frowned, "So, you cast a spell just now in front of my hand?"

Eve spread his hands: "I was held tightly by Vincent, and I have no chance to offend your subordinates."

"It's Bellini." Vincent's face was a little darker than that of Danqi.

Danqi was a little unbelievable-generally speaking, such violations would not be done by Bellini.He looked at the friend who had lost his parents, but the other side stared in the other direction expressionlessly, without saying anything.

"Fortunately, Vincent has a spell that interferes with the heald. As long as we are around him, it doesn't matter if we cast spells outside the area stipulated by the Ministry of Magic." Yves seems to be the most relaxed of the three, Vincent Tet made his trademark troubled expression, while Bellini was deeply wrapped in gloom, and Dench didn't feel the grief he imagined.

"I'm going for revenge, I'm going to kill the Death Eaters who attacked my parents," Bellini said.

Only then did Dan Qi understand why he didn't feel sadness from Bellini. It turned out that this feeling was replaced by another emotion that was more impulsive and easier to devour people's hearts - resentment.

Vincent folded his arms, his face full of disapproval.Danqi guessed who might have inspired Bellini's idea.

"So you rushed into my courtyard like this, why?" Dan Qi looked at Ive.

"Bellini needs to be resolved." Yves said: "We should help him get over the hurdle in his heart from the root cause."

"The root of psychological barriers is that people cannot be resurrected after death." Vincent said with a cold face.

Yves spread his hands at Dan Qi: "Two to one, Bellini and I could have gone. But Vincent not only refused to go, but also stopped us. So we came to you, and we recognize that you are the most sensible , The one with the most overall perspective, you come to make a verdict, Dan Qi."

Dench looked at Vincent, who threw himself into a chair in the drawing room.

"Bellini is still a child, and so is Yves. You are still far from being able to kill people." Vincent said in an expert tone. "This matter is different from what you imagined."

"I'm ready," Bellini said darkly. "People have to grow. There's no reason I can't be earlier."

Yves shrugged his shoulders: "Look, Vincent completely regards Bellini as a child with a sniffling nose, and doesn't consider his own inner needs at all."

Dench recalled Vincent's previous letter, clearly praising Bellini for inheriting his parents' legacy, and his tone was quite appreciative, knowing that Yves' evaluation of him was not accurate enough.Besides, he himself is not optimistic enough about the impulsive behavior of these two people.

"What are you going to do?" Danqi asked back: "Do you know which Death Eaters to find? Where to find them? Do you have backup? Did Dumbledore and the parents agree? Take ten thousand steps back and take revenge." If it succeeds, won't the Ministry of Magic prosecute you?"

"I'm ready." Bellini emphasized: "Vincent said that in a real battle, the difference in magic level is far less than that caused by mentality."

"But you can't even match them in mentality." Vincent pointed out, "The other party is a Death Eater who has done bad things for decades, and you are a student who didn't really implement the attack magic before last month."

Eve said: "As long as we have a good plan, no one can prevent the sneak attack of four top Ravenclaw students-as long as the other party is not a mysterious person. To be honest, although we are not as good as Vincent has experienced many battles, and at our level, he is definitely not weak in the wizarding world."

"Four Ravenclaws?" Dan Qi grasped the key words, and he twitched the corner of his mouth: "How confident are you that Vincent and I will definitely go with you?"

Eve narrowed his eyes, and said in a seductive tone: "Don't be stupid, Dan Qi. It has been two months since you left Hogwarts, and you have never actually fought in the previous four years of study. You Don't you expect a real fight at all? I mean, a dangerous, hearty fight that uses all your knowledge of magic."

Danqi is really looking forward to such a battle, but he will not ignore Bellini for this selfish desire.

He looked at Vincent: "What is your reason for firmly opposing this matter?"

What Vincent wanted to say, Dan Qi walked over to sit opposite Vincent, and emphasized: "I know, you think Bellini is not ready-this statement is just an excuse, you know he is an excellent wizard. So, the fundamental reason for your opposition?"

There was a brief silence in the reception room.

Vincent didn't answer Danqi right away. He looked very tired. After changing two sitting positions irritably, he said, "Because I'm afraid."

Yves was tasting the pastry in the living room without authorization. After hearing this sentence, he took a deep breath, inhaled almost all the pastry into his lungs, and suddenly coughed heart-piercingly.

Danqi took out his wand, and used magic to save the oxygen-deprived Eve.

"You?" Eve said hoarsely, "Scared? A few little Death Eaters? What did I hear just now? Vincent, stop making me doubt the world."

Vincent ignored Ive: "Lead three students who have never experienced battles to launch a sneak attack—"

"You counted me in without authorization again." Dan Qi said.

"Aren't you going?" Vincent rolled his eyes.

"Of course I'm going. But I like that you can ask for my opinion." Dan Qi pretended to be critical.Yves and Danqi interrupted like this, and the atmosphere eased a lot.In the rest of the day, Dan saw Bellini couldn't help showing a little smile.

Seeing that Bellini wasn't tense for the past five days, Vincent also heaved a sigh of relief.He continued: "I'm afraid that the situation will get out of control. I'm not 100% sure that the four of us will come back safely. I can't accept that anything will happen to anyone, so I am against it. I will complete this operation alone. , Bellini certainly didn't want to - he insisted on doing it himself, so we were at an impasse."

Yves concludes: "So, is it because of your own timidity that you disregard Bellini's own opinion?"

Vincent replied frankly: "Yes. Since your wish is to die, then I insist on being so selfish."

Dan Qi thought for a while, and said, "Death? That's hard to say. I don't think Bellini's revenge plan is as serious as what you said. If the plan is proper, it is very possible for all the members to return safely."

"But the probability of casualties is not low." Vincent said.

"So what, which battle can be won [-]%? Battles are dangerous." Eve retorted.

"It's not dangerous for me to go alone, and I'm sure I can win." Vincent raised his head and uttered wild words, but what he said was true, choking Ive: "So let me go alone—"

"This is my own business, don't worry about it!" Bellini shouted unbearably. "I appreciate that you care about me, but this is your own business. If I really die, then I apologize to you."

The reception room was quiet for a while.

Yves smoothed things over and said, "After all, it's Bellini's own business. Listen to him—" He turned to Bellini and said, "However, I must go with you, and you have no objection to that." use."

Dan Qi asked, "Are you sure you want to go?"

Bellini nodded firmly.

Danqi gave Vincent a helpless look.Said to Bellini: "Then I will accompany you too. One more person has a better chance of winning."

Yves elbowed Vincent hard in a direction Bellini couldn't see, telling him to declare that he would go too.

But Vincent stood up abruptly: "Since you are so sure that you will succeed, then you go." He lightly sneered: "Before that, I suggest you try to kill a bird and experience life from the beginning to the end." The feeling of loss in the body. I will not hold you back." After speaking, he pulled the hood over his head and walked towards the door of the reception room.

"Don't tell the adults to stop us."

Vincent's back paused, and he snorted coldly: "I didn't know that Ravenclaws would be so reckless and reckless one day."

He opened the door and walked out.Apparated away as soon as the door closed.

Yves widened his eyes and sighed: "I envy him for this one: he can transfer shape at will in places where there is a prohibition spell."

Dan Qi sighed. If Vincent was determined not to participate, the odds of their action would drop sharply. "Are you here behind your back?" he asked.

"The Order of the Phoenix won't allow us to take any action," Yves said. "Both Bellini and Vincent have been watched closely for the past two days."

"Didn't the Aurors take action to hunt down the killer?"

"Now everyone in the Ministry of Magic is in danger. Fudge's team has made such a big mistake on the issue of the mysterious person. The officials are clamoring for a change of prime minister. The director of the Auror office has been pushed as a candidate by many people, and he has to Hunting down the fugitives from Azkaban one after another, the Death Eaters who appeared in the underground of the Ministry of Magic six days ago in the afternoon, and Mrs. Hornby's work site was destroyed, he was very busy—the hunt was confirmed. There are not enough Death Eaters, and they don't have the time to investigate the details of the attack. As for the Order of the Phoenix, half of them are teachers and the other half are officials of the Ministry of Magic. They have to obey Dumbledore's original deployment in their spare time... …only busier than the Ministry of Magic."

Dange nodded and glanced at Bellini.

"Then let's start." Bellini seemed to be the leader of this operation.

"I'll leave the burden of finding the murderer to you." Yves patted Dan Qi on the shoulder.

Bellini said: "My parents were attacked on the streets of Muggles - there is something called monitoring deer elephants, my father once told me." After coming here for a long time, he brought up When he heard about Mr. Hornby's past, his voice choked up involuntarily.

"Which street?"

"O'Connor Street, County Sligo."

"Are you sure the Ministry of Magic didn't send someone to erase the surveillance video?"

Ive said: "No. The Ministry of Magic has been in a mess these days, because the Death Eaters broke into the empty door that day, and now they are liquidating/accounting for the traitors inside. The team leader and deputy team leader of the incident reversal team have been arrested. Others People only had time to find some of the Muggle sightings to have their memories wiped, and the Okner affair was shelved."

"Understood." Dan Qi nodded.He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Send me the surveillance video of the streets and storefronts of the Sligo County accident in Ireland six days ago, as well as satellite images..."
