Doomed to be an enemy

Hermione popularized the "greeting password" rule.This new encryption method has attracted a lot of interest from the Aurors.

"The key to decryption is the rules. What we decrypt is compared with the "Magic Dictionary". The number of pages, lines, and words are all calculated through decryption. Among them, a coefficient is related to the accuracy of all these. Regular replacement coefficient, the password can be prevented from being leaked.”

Then came the calculation of the formula, and the boring explanation lasted for an hour.

Hermione's mouth was so dry that everyone understood how to operate it.Nymphadora Tonks and Hestia Jones thought particularly seriously, after all, they would be regarded as sources of information in the future.If this one gets it wrong...then the fun is on.

After the meeting ended, Kingsley left with a heavy heart.It seemed that it was because of three jobs—if you add his current Auror status, it would be four jobs, and he was in a trance.The others left one after another—Harry couldn't even speak to Professor Lupine, but near the hall, he and Mr. Shacklebolt's voices were heard:

"I think Mr. Dumbledore is right that Harry is our last hope. What do you think, Kingsley?" "...I'm not saying it's wrong." Think so."

Harry felt that his face was a little hot, but it was more heavy.

The last hope...

"Oh, I bet, if Professor McGonagall was here, we would never be allowed to attend such a meeting." Ron personally destroyed the plan one by one, and Hermione floated the water glass on the tray with her wand, smelling He glanced at him bluntly: "That's because Professor McGonagall cares about us. To be honest, we haven't graduated yet. If it wasn't a special period, we definitely shouldn't get involved." The friend's words brought Harry back to his senses, and he frowned. He hesitated: "Then should we disclose our plan to Professor McGonagall?"

"Do you need to think about it?" Ron was a little contemptuous, "She is much more reliable than that Shacklebolt."

Harry shook his head: "It's not distrust, but Professor McGonagall will definitely return to Gryffindor College. She can't give up the safety of the students. And we also need people at Hogwarts."

"Harry!" Ron said in surprise, "You don't want Professor McGonagall to go back, do you? You've seen her too. Things must be very bad at Hogwarts."

"Professor McGonagall has to go back because it's terrible." Hermione walked over and said bluntly, "Harry is right, Professor McGonagall will not allow Gryffindor students to be persecuted by Death Eaters. If she Going back, of course, the less we know, the better." Harry nodded, "Actually, it's more than that, we have to take action ourselves."

"Look, what Dumbledore is looking for, so far, only the notebook and the ring have been destroyed. The real locket is in the hands of R.A.B. Remember what I said, Voldemort got Hufflepuff That's probably one of them too. Including Voldemort's big snake, there are five pieces, and the remaining two must be something from the Big Four." Harry said in a low voice, "I'm in Slug Saw it in Professor Horn's memory, when he said '7 is a magic number'."

"Please! Harry, don't say that name!"

Ron swallowed. "What normal person, I mean, normal wizard would cut himself into seven - you know, that's the one."

"Anyway, the locket is the most clue we have." Hermione jumped up and slapped her forehead when she said this, "I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

Ron and Harry were taken aback, and Hermione said angrily, "R.A.B is definitely a Death Eater. When the Order of the Phoenix was here, we should ask about the list of Death Eaters." ’” “But you can’t explain why we need lists.”

"Instead of that, I mean we could find a reason," said Hermione quickly. "Harry, maybe we could try the 'greeting code.' The one that was discussed at the meeting."

"Hermione, who should we ask about this?" Ron watched as Hermione quickly summoned a piece of parchment and a quill, "It's more appropriate for us to ask the Auror for the list of Death Eaters. Kingsley or Mu Where's Dee?"

"Together."

"what?"

"I mean ask together!" Hermione glanced at him impatiently, while calculating the numbers, she quickly wrote a greeting letter.At this time, there were footsteps upstairs, and Sia Flamel leaned forward and said to them: "Minerva is awake, I think you have to go and see her."

The three teenagers were dumbfounded, and Hermione immediately said: "Mr. Flamel, I would like to borrow your owl, can I?" "Of course." With permission, Hermione said to Harry and Ron: "You two go up first. Come on, I'll post the letter."

Seeing her rushing back, Ron rolled his eyes: "I thought she would be the first to rush up." "Come on, Hermione doesn't seem like an emotional person." Harry turned and walked up the stairs, kicking and kicking. The sound was one after another, and they came to the second floor.

In the spacious bedroom, Professor McGonagall was leaning on a pile of cushions, holding a cup of hot cocoa.Her complexion looked better, but she was still very haggard.

"They also attack students in school. Minerva has tried her best, but some students are still punished and tortured."

Before entering the door, Shea explained to Harry in a low voice, "Her spirit has been tense, almost to the limit." Ron's heart tightened, "Then my sister and the others—"

"They're fine." Thea interrupted him. "But the Weasleys have been closely watched by Death Eaters recently. We can't contact them, and we can't invite them here. I hope you understand, Mr. Weasley." Ron relaxed after hearing the words, and immediately felt wet and sticky on his back, which was very uncomfortable.

Harry frowned tightly: "Who is the headmaster now? A Death Eater?"

"Obvious."

Approaching the house, they had to stop talking.

"Professor McGonagall." "Granger, Weasley...Harry." When Professor McGonagall seemed to see hope and looked over excitedly, there seemed to be something stuck in Harry's throat .He lowered his voice and said to her, "It's me."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, as if trying to suppress something, "I'm glad to see you are safe and sound, I mean, it's great that you're not at Hogwarts—" Her voice gradually choked, and she couldn't continue.Harry had never seen such a sad Professor McGonagall, and it was not difficult to imagine how bad the situation at Hogwarts was.

Ron thought of his younger sister Ginny at school, and his mood suddenly sank. "Professor..." Hermione sat on the edge of the bed and handed her the handkerchief.Professor McGonagall shook her head: "Thank you, no, I don't need it. I have to go back soon." "Professor!" Hermione was surprised, "No, your physical condition..." She looked at Cia Flamel, The latter leaned against the porch and shook his head slightly.

"Granger, I know." "But I have to go back. The students can't live without me, those Death Eaters..." She looked very sad, "They used the unforgivable spell on the students! Just because of breaking the school rules - New school rules!"

She gritted her teeth, obviously extremely angry.

Harry's pupils shrank. He had experienced the Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Death Curse. He never thought that Death Eaters could be so cruel to students.He also finally understood why Professor McGonagall broke down like this. The Imperius Curse is okay, but the Cruciatus Curse is a torture that adults can't stand, let alone an underage child?Think about those first graders.Harry clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "Now, who is the headmaster of Hogwarts?"

Professor McGonagall covered his face with his hands and said, "It's Snape, Severus Snape!"

Harry's head buzzed and went blank.Hatred is like a bone-eating vine climbing up his heart and taking root there deeply.Of course it was him, why not? !What a nice step up, the one that killed Dumbledore, huh?He heard himself say in an extremely calm voice, "As expected. Are there any other Death Eaters besides him?"

"There are also Alecto Carrow and Amycus Carrow, they are the executioners." "There are also Slytherin students, some of them have become accomplices, and some of them are silent." Sia replied for her .

"The current Hogwarts is no longer what it used to be."

Professor McGonagall looked at Harry's emerald green eyes and choked up.

Leaving the room, Harry's heart became very heavy.The joy of successfully gathering the members of the Order of the Phoenix was swept away.

"We can't let her do this." "If the Death Eaters knew what she was doing these two days, they would definitely kill her." "But Professor McGonagall insisted on going back."

"Maybe we can think of a way, maybe the Order of the Phoenix can help?"

"Ron, Hermione." Harry interrupted his friend's argument. He knew that what he said next was cruel, but he still had to say it.

"Mr. Flamel can invite Professor McGonagall, so he can send her back. I mean without suspicion." "Hogwarts is full of little wizards, and Voldemort can't give up there." Ron Hearing this name, he shivered coldly, and his face turned pale—Harry said without hesitation, "Of course, we can find a way to help Hogwarts get rid of the Death Eaters' control temporarily, but what about in the future? Now that Dumbledore is gone , The Order of the Phoenix is ​​at an unprecedented low point, when Voldemort is worried about not being able to find a member of the Order of the Phoenix, it is not a good idea to send it to his door."

"Of course not in the short term," Ron hesitated. "When the Order of the Phoenix recovers, it should be possible. You must know that the future of the wizarding world is controlled by Death Eaters, and I always feel that even tomorrow's sun will be dark... What are you looking at me like that for?" Ron felt uncomfortable when he noticed that Hermione was looking at him with a strange look.

"I just found out today that you're pretty smart."

said Hermione reluctantly.

Ron was flattered, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged, "What do you mean today's discovery?"

As Harry guessed, Cia Flamel did have a way to send Professor McGonagall back to Hogwarts.Before dinner, they floo off.

"I hope everything goes well." Hermione said worriedly as she watched the green flames gradually die out.

"I think we should leave too." Harry said after a moment of silence, "Tomorrow morning, we still have tasks."

They ate dinner prepared by the house elves, and the atmosphere was a little dull.Time ticked away, until more than an hour later, the dark green flame lit up again in the fireplace, and the three of them stood up collectively.

"Don't worry." Sia Lemay walked out in a hurry.He had already changed into a brand new robe, which was neatly dressed, and he loosened the cuffs, "I held an 'Animagus' academic party, and Minerva's spirit is not good, so even if she rests two days earlier, she won't be caught. Doubt." Seeing that they were really nervous, he explained.

Hermione and Ron looked at Harry at the same time.

"Uh... Mr. Flamel, I think we have to leave early tomorrow morning." Harry was a little embarrassed, "Thank you for your help, it's just something Dumbledore asked us to do—"

"I know I know."

Cialmay interrupted him with a smile, "It's just Harry, I don't think it's a good time."

"Look, even though the Order of the Phoenix has been summoned, it doesn't mean that your mission is complete. As a leader, I have to say that Harry is unique, but there are still many shortcomings. I have prepared a training camp for you. , magical, enchanted... and many other aspects."

"I think this is much more important than other things." Sia Flamel said seriously, "Harry, you are the hope of the Order of the Phoenix. Start today."

Until lying on the bed, Harry was still thinking about what Sia Flamel had said.He had heard the phrase "You are the hope of the Order of the Phoenix" more than once.Harry had never felt so heavy a responsibility on his shoulders, almost overwhelmed.As Mr. Flamel said, if the Order of the Phoenix really gathered because of him, then of course he couldn't just walk away, even if it was to find the Horcrux, he couldn't let it go.

He knows all too well how calming a signature lean can be.Just like Dumbledore, even if he doesn't do anything, everyone will feel at ease when they see him.Harry felt that he didn't have that much weight, but at least he could give others some confidence when the road ahead was so dark.

Autumn nights are very cold.The whistling wind shook the windows and rattled them.Harry tossed and turned, unable to sleep, a little irritable.He heard Ron's slight grunt from the bed next to him, and he didn't know what he dreamed of.

"Maybe we can try for a month first." "Or you stay here, Harry, and Ron and I go find the Horcruxes."

He remembered Hermione's words again.Harry thought he couldn't just leave the matter to Hermione and Ron, it was his responsibility.So consider the previous proposal.Of course, if he could search for Horcruxes without delaying the special training... Harry scratched his head and asked Hermione tomorrow if she could do anything about it.

Afterwards, it was no wonder that Mr. Flamel felt that he needed special training.Without Hermione and Ron, maybe I can't do anything.
