The spring in London is always wet and heavy, and it seems that there is a pattering cold rain hidden under the light gray hazy clouds, covering everyone's head oppressively.Eli took a few steps forward and came to the center of the Burns family cemetery, and saw several people standing in front of Edgar Burns' grave, staring at his tombstone.

One of the petite figures standing in the middle felt his gaze and turned around.Her blond hair was neatly tied into a bun behind her head, and the double-breasted uniform of the Special Liaison Office of the Cabinet had obvious bulges on her belly. She didn't deliberately modify it to cover it up, but people saw her resolute and courageous. When they look calm, they will all feel that her physical special is insignificant.

After being silent for a long time, the cloudy sky slowly twisted down to reveal hazy raindrops.Eli walked up to her, and with a simple flick of the wrist, a black umbrella appeared out of nowhere in his hand, and he walked over to place it over the head of his wife, Ms Evans, for this occasion .

Penny came with two of her Muggle colleagues, and Eli could have brought her to disapparate, which would make it easier to ignore the Muggle banishing spells and other concealment protections in the Burns family cemetery. spell.But he didn't do that, because his wife came here on behalf of the Muggle government, and the Ministry of Magic will clear the difficulties and obstacles for them to stand here. It's not just a wizard's wife.

The two of them stood in front of Edgar's tombstone, and both of them were silent for a while. After a while, Eli stared at the name on the tombstone and said softly: "I always thought that if one day he would die, he would sacrifice very much." Vigorous. He is an outstanding and powerful wizard, even if he is besieged by Death Eaters, he is by no means powerless to fight back. I thought he would make a big noise, and let the entire British wizarding world witness the explosion he ignited at the last moment of his life , completely ignite the fire of resistance in everyone's hearts."

"Sounds a lot like the plot of some superhero movie." Penny said pertinently, she raised her black gloved hand, gently stroked the name on the tombstone, and a sigh escaped from the corner of her lips, "But in reality In life, life and death are just a matter of a moment. Wizards with powerful magic must hide in the shadows from being discovered by Muggles, and tough warriors can also be killed by a spell. Everything is not only related to legends and It is related to greatness, and there is such an ordinary parting of life and death, nothing is left at that moment, the wound is formed in an instant, and a life is taken away, leaving continuous pain for those who are still left here."

Eli twitched the corner of his lips bitterly.

"That's right." He whispered, "In fact, Edgar has never been used to being a hero who frequently appears in front of people. His job is more to deal with the aftermath...to make up for the mistakes made by others, maybe in the future. The next time someone gets into trouble, he will suddenly remember that the team leader of the accident reversal team that has been at the forefront is no longer there."

They fell silent again, stared at Edgar's tombstone for a while, and then retreated silently, leaving the place in front of the tombstone for other mourners.

"When did you wake up?" Eli asked her in a low voice, "When I went back yesterday, you were sleeping soundly lying on the desk in the study."

"When I found out that I woke up on the bed in the bedroom this morning, I knew you had come back. Thanks to you telling the time bird to wake me up, I slept in a hurry last night and completely forgot." Penny said succinctly Said, couldn't help raising his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, showing a bit of real fatigue.

"After Edgar died, it became more difficult for us to communicate with the Ministry of Magic." Petunia said with a sigh, frowning unconsciously, "Many of the staff there still think that we are stupid No brains, spending energy to introduce current affairs to us is talking about chickens and ducks. It's ridiculous, what age, and this kind of thinking, arrogance, selfishness, paranoid..."

"Words are not enough to convince older stubborn wizards." Eli shook his head and said simply, "The only thing that works is to show them the strength of Muggle force now, Let everyone have a clearer understanding of today's Muggle world, and they will naturally be able to come up with some more reasonable points of view."

He didn't go into too much detail, but exchanged a knowing glance with his wife.Petunia let go of her eyebrows and asked her husband, "How long will it take for everyone to see this effect? ​​To be honest, the cabinet is already impatient."

Eli was silent for longer this time than before, so long that Petunia turned to look at him with concern.

"Eli?" she asked suspiciously.

"I'm not sure right now." Eli said with barely moving lips, "Maybe there is an 'informer' in our team, if this person can't be caught as soon as possible, then no matter what decision we make, it will be almost impossible." As if it was done under the nose of a mysterious person, I can't take such a big risk. "

informer?Petunia frowned, she didn't ask him why he came to this conclusion, and she didn't show any surprise that there were traitors in the Order of the Phoenix.In any war, such things happen sooner or later, and today's case is not a very special one.

"If you find it, what are you going to do?" Petunia asked him, "Take away his wand immediately, seal his magic power, or lock him into Azkaban?"

Maybe it will, but it should not be the first thing.Eli shook his head, was silent for a while, and said, "Maybe I want to ask that person why first."

Why betray the Order of the Phoenix.

"Why?" Peter tucked his figure into a smaller and narrower shadow, and asked in a low voice, trembling all over, looking so frightened that he would faint in a second, "Why did you find me? I—what am I None did—”

"Because you're a vile coward, Wormtail," said the young man under the cloak, his face also hidden under the hood, but Peter could hear his voice—it belonged to Sev Les Snape.

A person who had a problem with him when he was studying at Hogwarts, he always had the upper hand at that time, after all, his friends were strong and reliable, much stronger than those of Snape... and now, there is no time In the past, Snape has become a noble Death Eater, the confidant of the mysterious man, and he was threatened and intimidated by the mysterious man and the Death Eater, so he had to submit to him and beg for mercy...

"You're avenging yourself, Snape!" Peter said suddenly, emotionally, and his mentality had become extremely fragile, and a little scorn and cynicism could easily ignite him.Snape didn't say much to him, but only from the cold and slippery voice of the other party, Peter seemed to hear the elation and complacency on the other side, which made the change in his expression more obvious, showing a kind of With an expression intertwined with indignation and provocation, he couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Mysterious man's running dog!" He shouted, his emotions seemed a little crazy due to excitement, with a deliberate cold brow.

Facing his emotional gestures, gestures, and dancing, Snape just lazily raised his eyes and glanced at him, without saying a single extra word, Peter suddenly violently He trembled for a while, and this time he looked at Snape with fear in his eyes. He is always good at being flexible in dealing with people, and making the choice that suits him best.

"No one holds a wand to your neck to demand your fealty, and if you haven't completely forgotten everything in your empty brain, you should remember how you knelt at the feet of the Dark Lord and said My own mother has a mother to take care of, and I can't lose my job in the Order of the Phoenix, but I am willing to privately deliver news for the Dark Lord." Snape said casually, in sharp contrast to Peter's bright emotions.Peter's movements stopped suddenly, and he stared straight at Snape, his face full of humiliation.

"You can't do it alone, can you? Without your bad kind of friends who make nasty jokes?" Snape went on, sneering sarcastically at Peter's ugly face.

"I can't get along in that small group anymore, right? They're just brainless idiots, not like you, Wormtail, you are the same from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. To be honest, being a Death Eater like you is really humiliating for all of us. Excuse me, I hope you don't always come out with your funny face and shout, hurry up Although your job is essentially a waste, you still need to use your spare heat. Well, that's enough nonsense. What new moves has the Order of the Phoenix made recently? About Eli Smith's plan to unite with Muggles Plan, if you know something, tell it quickly, don't let people go to you specifically, and waste the precious time of the rest of us."

"How can you say that about me?!" Peter yelled in a low voice, his eyeballs bulging angrily, but he still kept his decibels low, and he tried to cover Sneh with his reduced figure. Pu's shadow, although it was completely futile.

"No! The Order of the Phoenix has not had any new major events recently!" He said with a straight face, his expression showing obvious dissatisfaction, "No new news! Eli has always been a cautious person! I don't know anything!"

Snape stared at him for a few seconds before raising his wand.

"If there is no information, I don't think it's useless to keep you?" He said slowly, with a desire in his tone, "Then, I can do something to you, right? I may have been waiting Such a day."

"No! No! I just didn't remember it just now!" Peter's pupils dilated in fear, and he stumbled, his tone urgent and fast.

"Don't—don't kill me! Your enemies are... James and Sirius! It has nothing to do with me—"

Snape stopped, his eyes under the hood fixed on Peter for a long time, and then he sneered slightly.

He said: "It is really a great insult to me that a person like you once wanted to ride on my head."

Snape left with the new news he got from here, not important news, but something to gain, presumably the Dark Lord will not kill him immediately, or rush to him like he did to the Burns family Just bought this small house on the outskirts of London that belonged to him, killed him and his mother...

Peter stood in the garden of his house and stood silently for a while.

His back is still facing the kitchen window, trying to block the view from there, from the view of his mother, Enid Pediru - she may have seen this way when she was cooking in the kitchen, but now it is dark It was already very dark, and she might not be able to see it, but he still tried his best to cover it up...

He didn't know if he had succeeded, he had to succeed - he had given up everything he could.
