HP's profit-seeking

Chapter 74 Dumbledore's Death

The weather is getting hotter day by day.Danica gradually adapted to work in the Ministry of Magic, and was promoted once because of her high efficiency.She has now been promoted to deputy secretary, one step closer to the minister.

On a rather hot afternoon in May, Danica came to the Auror office on the second basement floor. She knocked on the door with a document in her hand, and then opened the door to go in, only to see several people discussing something.She searched with her eyes, and looked at a tall, bald, dark-skinned wizard in the middle, who was expressing his point of view in a low and gentle voice.

"Mr. Shaker, the documents you need signed by the minister have been approved," Danica said.

"Oh okay," Kingsley Shacklebolt took the file, as if remembering something, strode to his desk and picked up another folder, "Excuse me, Miss Wilson, this is our You can review the latest report of the department." After that, he flicked the folder seemingly inadvertently.

Danica took it calmly, "Okay, I won't bother you, see you later, gentlemen."

Stepping on her high heels, she walked out of the Auror's office gracefully, and followed the crowd into the elevator without haste.The fence door clanged shut, and the elevator ascended rapidly.

"Basement floor, minister's office and minister's logistics department." The hollow female voice in the elevator said.

Danica returned to her office as usual, sat down on a chair, and opened the document Kingsley gave her. There were not only a few paper reports, but also a sticky note in it.

"See you at the gate of the park next to Crescent Street at six o'clock in the evening, your sincere AD."

A raging fire ignited from the palm of her hand, and burned the little sticky note completely, as if it had never appeared before.Danica took the matter to heart silently, and concentrated on trivial tasks again.

At six o'clock in the evening, when most people are preparing dinner at home, a small park at the end of Crescent Street is empty, only an old man with a white beard sits on a flat long stone bench, the lush branches and leaves cover the dim moon, His appearance became more and more blurred in the darkness.

Not long after, a tall and slender figure walked towards this side. It looked like a woman, wearing a strange robe and a big hood that almost completely covered her face.A slender branch was broken by her, and it made a crisp click sound, which woke up the old man who was in deep thought. He looked up in the direction of the sound.

"You're here, Danica." Dumbledore looked up at the lighted house not far away, and praised, "It looks like a very warm home."

"Why did you call me out, Professor Dumbledore?" Danica asked without taking off her hood, as if she hadn't heard the last sentence, "In this kind of place, at this kind of time? Is there any progress?"

"Harry got the real memory of Sgraghorn." Dumbledore said calmly, "Tom asked him about the Horcrux, and he basically said everything. Tom asked, can only one Horcrux be made?" Wouldn't seven be a good number? Sgraghorn was freaking out at the time."

Danica gasped and asked in disbelief, "He divided his soul into seven?!"

"Yes, so there should be six Horcruxes." Dumbledore counted, "The known diary has been destroyed, Marvolo Gaunt's ring was destroyed by me, and Slytherin's pendant box, Hufflepuff's chalice, and a Ravenclaw diadem that might be a Horcrux... just one more, do you have any ideas?"

Danica frowned and thought for a while, "Perhaps, it's Nagini? It's lived a little too long as a snake. I heard from that person that Nagini has been with him since he was very young. This Obviously something doesn't make sense, and he seems to have a super control over it, I'm not sure if Parseltongue can do that..."

"Maybe so," Dumbledore stood up from the park bench, "but I need to leave these to you young people, I don't have much time..."

"Are you too busy?" Danica said understandingly, but completely misunderstood what he meant, "It's okay Professor, if you are too busy, we can use the double-sided mirror. There's a couple—"

Dumbledore glanced at the scorched hand, and interrupted her with a smile, "No need. But you can promise me that if Harry needs you in the future, you will lend a helping hand and help him destroy the Horcrux ?"

"Of course." Danica immediately agreed, but she always felt that something was weird, "But what you said sounds like a confession—"

"Very good." He slightly bent his arm, motioning for her to put her hand on it, "Come on, I'm going to take you to a place."

Although Danica was a little puzzled, she still put her hand up because of her trust in him.In an instant, their figures seemed to be distorted and disappeared in place.

Their figures reappeared, already on a messy and barren grassland.Danica looked at the dots of light in the darkness, squinting and trying to make out.There is a square in front of the lawn, and the surrounding houses are gloomy, with a look of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.There are also broken windows in some houses, which look particularly bleak under the reflection of street lamps.Peeling paint on many doors and litter piled outside the front steps.

"Professor Dumbledore," Danica turned to look at the white-haired old man, "where is this?"

"Wait a minute." Dumbledore took out a silver lighter-like thing from his pocket, held it high and clicked it, and the street lamp closest to them popped.It went out at once.He pressed it a few more times, and all the street lights in the square were extinguished, leaving only a faint light in the houses with the curtains drawn in the dark night.

Dumbledore spread his palm and gave her a look at what was in it, "Deluminator, to prevent Muggles from looking out of the window." Then he put away the extinguisher, took Danica out of the grass, across the sidewalk, and stood Between the two houses, there is number 11 on the left and number 13 on the right.

He stuffed a piece of parchment into Danica's hand, and watched her surroundings vigilantly, urging, "Read it quickly, and remember it."

Danica held up her glowing wand to illuminate the writing on the paper, which read in long thin handwriting: Order of the Phoenix Command at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

She raised her head in surprise, "Professor, this?"

"I think it's time, you need to meet with our people." Dumbledore patted her on the shoulder, "Let's go, think about what you just wrote on the paper."

Just as Danica thought of 12 Grimmauld Place, a dilapidated door popped out of nowhere between 11 and 13, followed by dirty walls and grim windows, a house crowding both sides opened.

Dumbledore walked up the dilapidated stone steps and tapped on the door with his wand. There were many loud sounds of metal clashing inside, and the door creaked open after a while.Danica hurried in after him.

"Dumbledore, you're finally here." Lupine strode forward to meet him. "There's a bit of commotion on the werewolf side—" He stopped suddenly when he saw the people following Dumbledore.

"Danica?" Lupine looked at Dumbledore with puzzled eyes, "A new member of the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Long time no see, Professor Lupine." Danica greeted him with a nod and looked at her current environment.A dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix sat around a large table in the center of a dark foyer.There is a damp musty smell that has not seen the sun all year round in the house. There is a row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the walls covered with some peeling dark pattern wallpaper, and an old carpet with polished and threaded threads is spread on the floor.Over her head was a dimly lit chandelier, and portraits, blackened with age, hung crookedly on the walls.

"Yes, in fact, Danica has helped us a long time ago..." Dumbledore and Lupine were talking, Danica stroked the chandelier on the table, which was carved with the shape of a snake, She thought in a daze that this should be the old house of the Slytherin family.

"But her identity is a bit special—"

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Dumbledore's words, and Mrs. Weasley came out from a door at the other end of the hall, and walked towards Danica in three steps at a time, pulling enthusiastically. Holding her hand, "You joined the Order of the Phoenix too? I knew you were more useful than that bastard Fred."

Danica opened her mouth to say something, but Mrs. Weasley turned to the others and said with some pride, "Danica married my family Fred and is now a member of the Weasley family. I Never met a smarter girl than her, and oh Hermione is one of them."

"Molly, wait a minute, I haven't finished what I just said." Dumbledore said, "I think I need to introduce Danica, after all, not all of you here know her."

Under the eyes of everyone, Dumbledore said slowly, "Danica Wilson, I married Fred Weasley not long ago, I should call you Danica Weasley... secretly helped I'm very busy, I think she's already a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and because of her special status, I haven't met you all, but I'm afraid it will be too late if I don't bring her here—"

"Her identity is special?" Mad-Eye Moody sharply grasped a point in his words and asked.

Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, "Well, because she is a Death Eater."

As soon as the words fell, almost everyone immediately took out their wands and pointed at Danica who had been silent all this time, fixed their vigilant eyes on her, Mrs. Weasley's eyes widened, and she unconsciously loosened her grip Live by Danica's hand.

"Put down your wand," Dumbledore reassured them, "Take it easy, she is my spy over there, just like Severus."

He calmed down for a while before everyone put down their wands, but the atmosphere in the hall became a little stiff.Danica was sitting on a chair by the long table, and the others were talking to Dumbledore about the recent situation. Almost no one looked at her, and even if there were, the occasional glances were suspicious.Mrs. Weasley's face also turned cold, and she sat away from her.

Danica sighed, struggling for time.At last their meeting was over, and they each left through the fireplace.As she was about to walk into the fireplace, Dumbledore sighed, "I've been sorry, Danica. I've pulled you down the hardest road possible."

"You don't have to blame yourself," Danica shook her head slightly, "everything is my own choice, no matter how difficult it is, I am prepared. Goodbye, Professor Dumbledore."

A green fire burned in the fireplace for a few seconds, and Dumbledore was left alone in the huge old Black house.He sat in a chair and meditated, without moving for a long time.

June.

The hot weather seemed to have nothing to do with the Riddle House.It was still dark, cold, and not a blade of grass grew here.Danica hurried into the old house, up the stairs, through the dimly lit hallway, and pushed open a battered wooden door.

"Master, I'm here to report new news." She said in a deep voice.

The man sitting on the chair lazily opened his eyes, and his red eyes looked at Danica. Her red hair seemed to melt into his eyes and merged with him.

"Come forward, Danica." Voldemort patted the head of the serpent at his feet. "Stay still, Nagini."

The big snake hissed something, and leaned back on his lap unwillingly.

Danica took a few steps towards him, and respectfully handed him the folder in her hand, "The Minister of Magic's schedule for this month is probably here, master."

Voldemort raised his hand, but instead of picking up the document, he grabbed her delicate wrist and stroked it gently with his cold fingers.He sighed in a low voice, "Long time no see...I miss you a little..."

Danica struggled a bit, pulled her hand out, and said calmly, "My honor, master. But I think you should read this document first, after all, this is something we have planned for a long time, and there is only one The time has come for the final step - the assassination of the Minister."

"Yes, yes..." Voldemort's expression turned colder, and he yanked the document away from her hand, "Okay, I'll take a good look at it later and make some plans."

"Then I will take my leave, Master."

Voldemort watched her exit the room indifferently, and after the door closed, he threw the folder in his hand hard, hitting the solid wall with a loud bang.

Danica walked out of the room, striding out, passing a Death Eater tormenting Muggles with indifference.She seemed to have noticed something, looked around, and then fell back.

"Dolohov," she said to the Death Eater, "there are few people here today. I haven't seen Bellacritus. Where are they?"

The Muggle woman who was tormented by him let out a painful scream, and Dolohov laughed and said happily, "Hogwarts, they went to Hogwarts. That kid from the Malfoy family also went to Hogwarts." It's a bit of a skill..."

Danica's complexion changed, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, really? Just to remind you, this Muggle is dying. If you want to continue playing, you must let her rest for a while." After finishing speaking, she hastily said Left, Apparating before reaching the door.

Instead of going home, she Apparated to the Leaky Cauldron and quietly pulled a passerby's hair and put it in the Polyjuice Potion she was carrying.After a while, a strange woman came out of the alley and walked quickly into the Leaky Cauldron.

"Tom, borrow the fireplace." Danica said to the hunchbacked man behind the counter, before he could react, he had already walked into the fireplace in the backyard, "Hogwarts principal's office."

Danica came to the headmaster's office anxiously, wanting to tell Dumbledore about the death eaters coming to Hogwarts.But when she came out of the fireplace, the office was empty, no one was there.Something in the sky outside the window emitted a burst of green light, and the window sill turned green when reflected.Danica hurriedly looked outside, and saw a dazzling green skeleton hanging above the school, with a snake-like tongue sticking out of its mouth.She gasped, she was very familiar with this thing, the Dark Mark, I'm afraid someone will die in school tonight.

Danica gritted her teeth, took out her wand, and walked out of the principal's office clutching it tightly.She had to do her best to find those Death Eaters, she couldn't let them do anything wrong in the school.

She ran quickly in the direction of the Dark Mark, weaving through the long hallway.The sound of fighting became more and more clear. From a distance, she could see a darkness shrouded in the corridor, and a dozen or so figures who were fighting were faintly visible.Occasional flashes of enchanted light lit up their faces, Death Eaters, members of the Order of the Phoenix, and a few students.

Danica wailed with a headache, "Merlin, the invisibility smoke/bomb imported from Peru... Do Fred and George know who they are doing business with?"

Without stopping, she ran towards the darkness.She saw the dirty and greedy look of Fenrir Greyback in the dark. Although he hadn't turned into a werewolf, he was still attacking Bill Weasley fiercely with his sharp claws.

"There are many obstacles!"

A ray of light from her wand hit Greyback and ejected him.Greyback bared his teeth angrily and rushed towards her.

"Armor protection! The flames are raging..." Danica kept chanting the mantra, "Shenfeng Wusha!"

Greyback couldn't dodge in time, his right hand was cut open, he screamed in pain, and ran towards Danica with more fierce eyes.

Danica clasped her left hand together, and the broken window panes from the fight floated into the air, "Ten thousand bullets!" They rushed towards the werewolf Greyback, leaving countless small wounds on his rough and tough skin.

Another Death Eater who managed to get away from Lupin hurriedly supported Greyback, and said to the other Death Eaters with a sullen face, "Don't love to fight, we have other things to do." After speaking, they disappeared into the darkness In the middle, the footsteps gradually faded away.The remaining Death Eaters fired killing curses indiscriminately in the dark, and the curses flew around, making everything extremely chaotic.

Snape did not know when he appeared, he strode into the darkness, almost no one reacted.Danica saw only his billowing black robes.

Lupine tried to follow, but was thrown out as he rushed into the darkness.He cursed a few words in a low voice, and quickly bent over to avoid a few spells.

Danica ran up to Bill Weasley, she knelt down to check his injuries, and Ginny moved to her side to help her resist the curse, "How is Bill?"

"The situation is not very good. He lost too much blood and passed out." Danica looked at Bill, and the several hideous wounds had made her unable to see his original appearance. "There may be scars, but luckily Graber Ke didn't turn into a werewolf and attack him, so he won't turn into a werewolf. Now he must be taken to the hospital immediately."

Danica looked up at Lupine and Tonks who were fighting on the side, "Can you help me block it? I'll send Bill to Madam Pomfrey. His injury can't be delayed."

"Okay, leave it to us!"

Danica used the Levitation Charm to escort Bill all the way to the school hospital on the second floor of the castle. She tapped on the door urgently, "Sorry, Madam Pomfrey, someone here needs first aid!"

The door was opened by the people inside. Madam Pomfrey was wearing a nightgown and looked at Danica in horror. A strange lady was standing outside the door with a man covered in blood. Only Merlin knew how much she was. It took an effort to suppress the screaming.

"Sorry to bother you," Danica waved her wand, causing Bill to float in and land smoothly on a hospital bed. "He was attacked by a werewolf."

"Oh Merlin, a werewolf?!" Pomfrey's voice suddenly became sharp, "In the castle?"

"Not just werewolves, but a few Death Eaters," Danica urged. "Look at him, Madam Pomfrey."

Madam Pomfrey was annoyed, "Yes, yes, let me see the patient first..." She began to treat Bill in a hurry, casting a spell to stop the bleeding, and taking gauze to bleed all over his face Blood wiped off.

"Poor child..." she said pitifully, "I'm going to make a kind of ointment, you take care of him first, young lady."

Danica nodded slightly, watching as Pomfrey hurried into the pharmacy.She took out a small mirror from her pocket, the strange thing was that her appearance was not reflected in the mirror, she called out in a low voice, "Fred... Fred..."

After a while, a sleepy man appeared in the mirror, with messy red hair, "Danica?" He rubbed his eyes, but found that he didn't recognize the woman in the mirror, and his face turned cold Come down, "Who are you? Where did you get this mirror?"

Danica grabbed a strand of brown hair and looked at it, only then remembered that the effect of the compound medicine hadn't expired, she said helplessly, "I'm Danica, the effect of the compound medicine has not expired, I know your hidden location There is a scar, which is left after the pustules produced by the fever sugar in the previous experiment were worn out..."

"Okay, okay," Fred interrupted quickly, "I see, Danica. What's the matter?"

"Bill is injured." She glanced at the mangled man on the hospital bed. "It's serious. I think you all need to come. I'll wait for you at Hogwarts."

Fred hung up the double-sided mirror in a panic, and Danica knew he must have hurried to the Burrow.After putting away the double-sided mirror, she suddenly panicked, as if something had happened, but she was powerless to stop it.

Madam Pomfrey came over with a large bowl of foul-smelling ointment, and carefully wiped it on Bill's face. She didn't know when she started to sob slowly, "...I heard the sound of fighting just now...I Terrified... Hogwarts has never had a Death Eater come in... and there are so many children here..."

Danica walked to the window, and the castle returned to calm, and it seemed that the battle was over.The rooms in the castle were gradually lit up, and everyone came out suspiciously, and walked in one direction - the open space under the tallest tower.

"Madame Pomfrey, I'm going out to check the situation outside." Danica greeted her, walked out of the school hospital, and walked in that direction with the crowded crowd.

Getting closer and closer.Danica could already vaguely see that there seemed to be a person lying on the lawn of the clearing. He was motionless, with his limbs spread out, peacefully as if he was just asleep.

Her footsteps stopped slowly, and she could already fully see who the lying person was.Hagrid's sobs echoed in her ears, Harry lay on top of the man crying bitterly, she seemed to be hit on the head by something, all the clever thinking in the past stopped, she was stunned by the reality in front of her .

It took a long time for Danica to realize that Dumbledore was really gone, and he left before the war was over.

At daybreak, the Weasleys hurriedly pushed open the door of the school hospital, the Weasleys strode in, Fleur followed them with a look of fear on their faces, and Fred and George came in last.

"Oh, Bill, my poor child." Molly Weasley said, walking quickly to Bill's bedside, choked up.

"Greyback attacked Bill, and this lady saved him." Professor McGonagall was talking to Arthur Weasley about the situation at the time, while signaling to him that the silent woman sitting by the side was his child's savior, "Fortunately, Greyback didn't turn into a werewolf at that time, and it was more timely for this lady to send Bill over for treatment."

Arthur was about to come over to thank this strange woman, when he saw her plunge into Fred's arms, and his son hugged her tightly.The brown hair of the woman in his arms turned red little by little, and returned to its original appearance in a short while.

"Dumbledore is dead..." Danica muffled.

Fred was stunned, and then stroked her hair again and again, comforting her silently.

Arthur coughed, and Danica withdrew from Fred's arms before he continued, "Thank you very much this time, Danica."

Molly turned her head too, said a stiff thank you, then continued to look at Bill's smeared face, and slowly began to sob, tears dripping down his face.

"Of course looks don't matter...he's always been a handsome--kid...always-handsome...he was going to-marry!"

Fu Rong interrupted her loudly, and retorted angrily, "What do you mean you planned to get married?"

Molly raised her tear-stained face in some surprise, and looked at her in surprise, "I——just said——"

"Do you think Bill doesn't want to marry me?" Fleur demanded, "or do you think he won't love me because of these wounds?"

"No, I didn't mean that—"

"Do you think I don't want to marry him?" Fleur straightened up, her silver hair tossed back, "Do I just care about his appearance? I think my beauty alone is enough for us both ! So these scars show that my husband is brave! Here I come!"

She aggressively snatched the medicine bowl from Madam Pomfrey's hand, pushed Molly aside, and touched Bill's face with fistfuls of ointment.

Molly fell on top of Arthur who was standing beside her, with a strange look on her face.After a long time, she said, "Our Aunt Muriel has a beautiful tiara made of goblins - I'm sure I can persuade her to lend it to you for your wedding, she's fond of other people. The tiara It would be beautiful in your hair."

"Thank you, I believe it will be very beautiful." Fu Rong said bluntly.

But in the next second, the two women hugged each other and burst into tears.The people around were very surprised and looked at them in amazement.Molly seemed to have too many grievances, she cried like a child, and said sobbing, "Bill is a good boy—and you...you are also a good boy...and Danica... ...she's a good boy too...although—she is...but you're all good boys...but why do you have to suffer..."

Danica smiled, and Fred grabbed her hand, clasped her fingers together, and said in a brisk but firm voice, "Everything is going in a good direction, isn't it?"

The author has something to say:

1. I have been sick for almost a week, and now I still have some cough... Sorry, sorry, it is so long late, and it has been suspended for several days

2. Danica's identity is clear on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, and she is about to be exposed on the side of the Death Eaters... either the next chapter or the next chapter
