[HP] Hymn of Hope

This made Yu Da startled.

Because Yu Da's dormitory is on the dark side of the castle, there is a fireplace in his room.

It's only autumn now, and although the temperature has started to drop, the students are all wearing long-sleeved shirts. When it's very cold at night, the fireplace in Yu Da's room will be lit for a while.

But Yu Da didn't need to worry about this, the house elves in the castle would naturally help him.

So when a green flame burst out from the fireplace with the ashes, and Sirius Black's face appeared, Yu Da, who was not mentally prepared, was terrified.

He put on an eggshell with a "bang", and looked at the green head with a tense whole body.

"Hey boy, take it easy. It's me." Sirius called softly at him.

"Siris," Yu Da looked at him, leaned over and squatted down, "how did you come out of the fireplace?"

"This is also a way to use the Floo Network." Sirius said proudly.

Yu Da looked at him with a frown. He looked a little thinner than when he and Harry left. Obviously, life was very difficult during this time.

"I thought the Floo network in the dormitory was closed." Yu Da said slowly.

He has been here a few times before, although he always passed through the fireplace, but as far as he knows, the only open Floo fireplaces at Hogwarts are the fireplaces of the headmaster's office and other deans and professors. If you want to visit, you need their permission first. just work.The fireplaces in the dormitories of other students are not allowed to connect to the Floo network.

"It's a little trick." Sirius didn't say much, but said something else, "I heard Harry said it, thank you for helping him and giving him back those bandages."

"Oh." Yu Da's eyes widened in surprise, he half-kneeled on the carpet in front of the fireplace, his eyes met Sirius's looking up, "It's just a matter of effort."

"If it wasn't for you helping him, maybe Harry wouldn't tell me until the end." Sirius said this a little unhappy.

This is quite possible, because Harry is in a rebellious period.

"It's the official from the Ministry of Magic who went too far." Yu Da said.

"That's right!" Sirius gritted his teeth, "Fudge is a useless guy, now that he is obstructing, the activities of the Order of the Phoenix are even more difficult."

Yu Da looked at him clearly, from the fact that Umbridge appeared in Hogwarts and tried her best to show her authority, it was enough to see how nervous Fudge was.

"What are other people doing now?" Yu Da asked.

He was very curious about how this kind of group composed of volunteers—an organization without a formal charter—could deal with that terrorist-like Dark Lord.

"As far as we know, Voldemort has gathered a lot of subordinates now." Sirius said solemnly, "His Death Eaters!"

It was the first time Yu Da had heard the word Death Eater.

"Those former subordinates followed his call and returned to his command, and continued to work for him." Sirius' face was gloomy, and the green color made his face look extremely ugly, "During the last war , not all Death Eaters were imprisoned in Azkaban, and some escaped trial by concealing the truth."

Yu Da frowned, his lips were tightly pursed, and his mood became heavy.

"I believe that Voldemort will recruit troops soon. He is very good at motivating people." Sirius said with firm eyes, "Of course, we will not fight alone. Finding allies is also what we need to do."

"What allies?" Yu Da couldn't help asking doubtfully, "If people believe that Voldemort is back, many people will join us, I believe that. But now things are being confused by Fudge, and people think that Professor Dumbledore and Harry Leigh is crazy, who wants to be an ally of the Order of the Phoenix?"

Sirius grinned, and he said, "Always keep those people from standing opposite. Hagrid—you haven't seen him yet, he went to the tribe of giants, and Remus... Remus is actually a werewolf , he went to the werewolf tribe, trying to prevent Voldemort from expanding his influence there..."

It sounds good, but Yu Da is not very optimistic, because their current situation is really bad.

The two chatted for a while about the Order of the Phoenix.

Sirius seemed bored, having been identified because he was careless in sending Harry to school.Now ordered by Dumbledore, he must stay in Black's old house honestly, because Auror is hunting him everywhere.

Sirius could only watch miserably as the other members of the club rushed in and out - even though there were several Aurors inside, they were very depressed.

"Sirius." Yu Da thoughtfully interrupted Sirius' chattering complaint that everyone else was busy, only he was too busy, and his words were about to mold, "What do you think of me reopening the store?"

"Store?" Sirius blinked, the green flames had severely discolored his brown eyes, which looked a little funny, "You mean the Davis store?"

"Yes, the closure of the store has caused a lot of trouble to the students and residents." Yu Da said sadly.

"Hmm..." Sirius pondered for a moment, and said, "That store existed when I was in school, and Hogsmeade Week would be less fun without him. But, how do you open the store now? Knowing that if you went outside, you would be a good target, after all Voldemort already knew you were on Dumbledore's side."

Although Yu Da had conducted duel training with him, Sirius really thought that if he met the Death Eaters, those training results could be used by him. Six achievements would be good.

"I don't plan to show up in person." Yu Da has obviously thought about it for a long time. "I plan to hire an employee. I won't even show up in person. I just hand over the store to someone else for a period of time."

"Oh?" Sirius raised his eyebrows.

"I've made up my mind. If I'm worried that the employees are unreliable, I can even rent out the store without using the form of employer and employee." Yu Da talked about this with a radiant look, "I only need to charge a certain amount of rent. It doesn’t matter how much you earn or how little you earn.”

"But in this way, you will lose a lot more than if you manage it yourself." Sirius frowned.

"It's okay." Yu Da said softly, "All I want is for this store to continue to exist and provide services to people in need."

After a moment of silence, Sirius sighed and said, "Since you have decided so, I support you."

After saying this, Sirius bid farewell. After his head disappeared, the green flame went out, and there was still a pool of ashes in the fireplace.

Now that the plan has been made, Yu Da began to make efforts to reopen the store.

Then he visited Dumbledore's office several times, but he was never there.

Yu Da was puzzled, where did the old principal go?

There was no other way, he had no choice but to tell Snape about this matter after a potion teaching session.

"You said you were going to reopen the Davis-Bans store?" Snape put the potion bottle away and turned to look at him. His expression was indifferent and his voice was very flat.

Unable to see his reaction to this matter, Yu Da said: "Yes, although it's not convenient for me to come forward now, I want to hire someone, or lease the entire store to a reliable person."

Snape was noncommittal, he asked flatly: "What do you mean by reliability?"

"It's just a person who won't ruin the store, go bankrupt, and have a bit of business sense," Yu Da said without thinking, "he can't be a person who has a bad character and a bad reputation for the store."

Snape nodded understandingly.

Yu Da was affirmed, and he said excitedly: "This person must be able to manage the accounts of the store well, and don't make a mess. It's better to have some basics, because I can't teach him."

Snape sat in the armchair, and Yu Da leaned on the potion making table.

Snape folded his arms, his dark eyes watching him, "So, what are you doing with Albus?"

Yu Da was startled, and said hesitantly: "I'm not familiar with the wizarding world in Britain, and I don't know many people. I want Dumbledore to recommend one from the previous graduates. After all, it can be said that all wizards in Britain are Huo Da. Gwartz graduated."

Snape leaned out interested, and said, "You want him to recommend one to you?"

"Yes. I can't find one in the newspaper, can I? I don't have the time or the way to interview those people one by one. Besides, it's not safe." Yu Da said distressedly.

Snape looked at him fixedly, and suddenly said: "In this case, I recommend someone to you."

Yu Da looked at him in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Snape to solve this matter so efficiently.

"Bartley Lynn." Snape said a name, "20 years old this year, a graduate of '93. I think he can run a shop competently."

Yu Da looked at Snape curiously, wondering how he could be so enthusiastic all of a sudden.

"Why would you recommend this person?"

Snape frowned, as if a little annoyed, but Yu Da would be the employer or the landlord, so it was appropriate to question him.

"He's a student of Slytherin." Snape snorted and said reluctantly, "In the .s exam, he got 5 O's."

Seeing his dazed look, Snape gave him a displeased glance: "Outstanding (excellent), O!"

Yu Da smiled uncomfortably, shrinking his neck.

"Then his grades are pretty good." Yu Da said with a guilty conscience, "There should be many places rushing for graduates with such grades, right?"

Snape's face darkened.

He said slowly: "Sometimes people's prejudices make them ignore the essence of the facts. Lynn is a very good graduate, but because of his bad background, he is not very good in terms of employment. s Choice."
