[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

"So do you really believe that an unborn child will be the key to defeating You-Know-Who? Has the power to conquer the Dark Lord?" James asked Eli.

He frowned, still looking very puzzled by what he had said.In fact, it took him quite a while to make sure that Dumbledore wasn't joking with him, and in the midst of the growing seriousness, he'd now resigned himself to the idea that his child might be the savior...but This was obviously beyond his comprehension. For many days, he had been observing Lily's belly with new eyes, trying to find out what miraculous new life his wife was conceived. For a person like James who has always had an adventurous spirit, he didn't feel the pressure.

"The important thing is not whether I believe it or not, but that the mysterious man really seems to believe it." Eli said, sitting in his living room talking to James, his eyes fell on his two children.They were both still swaddled and now floating in mid-air with their cribs.The feeling was probably a bit like sleeping in a gently rocking hammock. Isaac and Dorothy didn't show any discomfort and slept soundly.

During this period of time, Eli proved his meticulousness and thoughtfulness in taking care of the children with practical actions, which allowed Penny to continue her studies in university after the summer without being affected, and she can rest assured to stay in Yi Lai took care of the children by himself, and went upstairs to have some whispers with his sister.

James followed his gaze and looked at the two children together, thinking about the little life he and Lily were about to usher in, and unconsciously scratching his head: "I'm sorry, maybe as a father-to-be, I should be a little more cautious. A little, but I can't help but ask, is the mysterious man's brain not very good now? What kind of threat can a child pose to him, a child who can't even hold a wand! Imagine if the mysterious man's brain Dig it out, weigh it with the giant squid, maybe we can see that the weight of the two of them is about the same, and finally reached a delicate balance, and then both lost to the giant squid, that's what I know The most mindless thing."

Well, he can't hear him slandering the mysterious person behind his back, so he can consider saying it face to face next time.Eli shook his head a little amusedly, narrowed his eyes a little, and licked the corner of his lower lip silently.

"It's not surprising that he is facing such a great enemy." He said softly, his voice gradually lowered, as if talking to himself, "After all, he is such a person who is afraid of death... He is extremely afraid of death, more afraid than all of us, Perhaps it was this fear that fueled his evil."

"Hey, hey! Who told me just now that there is no need to smear behind my back? Then what is someone talking about now?" James raised his eyebrows, poked his ribs narrowly, and winked at him expressively, "I understand, I understand. After all, this person is really annoying. I think everyone is suffocating. Why don't you set a mysterious person's complaint day every month? It seems that there is a great demand."

Such whimsy and optimism are absolutely unique in the Order of the Phoenix, and while he and his schoolboy mischievous coterie are now part of the organization, there's no doubting that he's the inspiration-generating center within.Eli couldn't stop laughing at what he said, and waved his hands helplessly, drawing his attention back.

"Okay, let's talk about business." He said, straightened his expression, and after seeing James showing a serious look, he asked him, "How many people did you tell about Lily's pregnancy?"

How many people?James thought for a while and touched his nose: "The members of the Order of the Phoenix basically know about it, I knocked on the door of each office and went in to notify."

...well, think so too.Eli nodded and sighed. James looked at his slightly solemn face and calmly comforted him.

"Nothing will happen." He said firmly, "I know my companions, and I absolutely trust them—if you can't even trust each other, then what kind of companions are you fighting side by side?"

He always puts all his guard down on people he approves of, always.Eli shook his head and reminded him: "There have been whistleblower incidents in the Order of the Phoenix a few months ago. Don't always feel that your surroundings are monolithic. Proper vigilance is not a bad thing."

James shrugged, not knowing how much he had listened to.He showed disapproval of this, shrugged his shoulders towards Eli with a smile, shook his head and said, "We shouldn't have leaked anything important recently, right? This shows that the whistleblower was afraid, so he stopped, or It will be even better for us if we really change our ways and return to the right. There is no need to worry about small things, but there is no need to worry about big things. There is nothing wrong with being happy every day, isn't it?"

That's true, but it's hard to say exactly what happened.Eli stared at his face for a few seconds, but in the end, he still didn't tell him the specific name, but asked him with a serious face: "If it's actually in a place you don't know, this companion actually caused a lot of damage. , the shameful betrayal has a great impact, but it has not affected you, do you think it is acceptable?"

James froze for a moment, momentarily speechless by his question.He stared at Eli for a while, tongue-tied, and his face gradually became serious.Although he didn't know that this was actually a test by Eli's face, he opened his eyes after a while, and gave his answer in accordance with his heart, his eyes were still bright enough to shine.

"Then I will personally sanction him." James said firmly, "I want to ask him why, is it worth doing this—I won't cover up my friends, if that day really comes, I must be the first Someone who stepped up and started to act at the moment."

It's good to think so.Eli nodded thoughtfully.James didn't stop talking at this point. Now that he had talked to this point, he naturally started a new round of questioning.

"So who the hell is that whistleblower?" he asked, unflinchingly, undaunted, as he had been doing for months, now and then.

Eli didn't consider telling him at the beginning because he was concerned about the friendship between James and Peter. After the news was made public to James, a breakup was almost an inevitable result.But now his reasons are a little different: Peter also knew the news of Lily's pregnancy immediately, but judging from Voldemort's secret search so far, he hasn't found the target he was sure about.

"Wait a little longer," Eli said, "maybe one day you will find out by yourself, maybe one day you will know the name by surprise. At that time, you will have your own choice, and no matter what the choice is, everyone I can understand. I haven't forgotten the tragedy of Edgar and Burns' family, and I haven't forgotten every compatriot we have sacrificed since the beginning of the war, but time is passing day by day, and the war is still going on. The primary goal now is to unite all living forces— —And I hope that people's hearts will be fleshy, and they can become different from before because of trust, understanding and support."

Has he changed?Peter asked himself in his mind.

Maybe not, when he was trembling and crawling at the feet of the Dark Lord, he was no different from his previous self, every cell was crazily clamoring to escape.He could hardly control his urge to turn into a mouse and slip into the sewer, the feeling of struggling to escape was too strong.However, he didn't have the opportunity to try to do it. The Dark Lord is here, and his eyes can make people experience the feeling of being entangled by a poisonous snake for a second. He can't take risks under the gaze of the Dark Lord.

"Tell me, Wormtail." Voldemort looked at him condescendingly, and said softly, seductively, and suddenly put on a layer of harmless skin, and at this moment he seemed to have completely lost that fearful aura, "Take you Show me everything you know, as you should do... well, there is no secret to keep from me, of course you know."

He didn't ask for Peter's consent. While speaking, he had already invaded the brain of this shamefully timid, ant-like little character, and rummaged around as he wished.He was eager to get some information about the unborn child... but he was disappointed, he didn't get any effective information from the mind of this too weak wizard, he had been completely scared out of his wits since the Death Eaters attacked After the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, he hid more and more marginally day by day. He wished to quit the Order of the Phoenix directly, but he was also reluctant to part with the generous salary, so he was always fishing in troubled waters with fear, and he couldn't even access any effective information.

"Crap! You don't even care what's going on around you? If you're living like a pig every day, why don't you just die?" Voldemort taunted angrily, raising his wand , The next second, Peter howled like a pig. He was trembling under the Cruciatus Curse, and his whole body shrank into a ball, like an extraordinarily huge mouse shrinking its head.

"Go to collect information and inquire about intelligence, otherwise you may lose the meaning and value of your life, Wormtail." Voldemort said coldly, when he was about to raise his wand again, someone interrupted him, Snape phantom Appearing beside them, he saw Wormtail at a glance, and his pupils constricted silently.

"What's the matter?" Voldemort's wand stopped, and his tone was much more friendly.His mood switched so quickly that if there were bystanders present, he would be surprised and a little caught off guard.

"New news, Master." Snape whispered, "According to reliable sources, Alice Longbottom of the Ministry of Magic's Auror Command is pregnant. The exact month is unknown."

"Well done, Severus." Voldemort praised Snape without hesitation, he stepped on Peter's half of the palm and took a step forward, casually crushing Peter's palm, "Better This trash is too strong, of course, I really shouldn't compare the two of you together."

"As you like, master." Snape said respectfully, bowing his head deeply in humility, he did not look at Peter, but said calmly, "it's not worth getting angry with such a man, master, he's just a piece of trash, a A trash who is looked down upon by both enemies and friends, an informer who can't even find out important information. He is useless...don't worry about him, Master, please entrust me with your trust and burden, I will not let you Disappointed...I will always be good."

Ah yes.

Useless informer, worthless among friends, worthless in another.He is such a person.

Peter, curled up on the ground, grinned when he heard this, and he laughed silently, not knowing what he was laughing at.

Voldemort's shadow was gone. Of course, the Dark Lord was so busy, how could he spend all his time here.He felt that Snape hadn't left, and after confirming that Voldemort had left, he lifted him up from the ground and looked at him coldly.

"You betrayed your friend again?" he asked softly, with undisguised contempt in his tone.

Peter grinned, perhaps looking directly at Severus Snape for the first time without James and Sirius present.He looked at him, and smiled contemptuously, with the corners of his mouth wide open, the smile was so bright that it was even a little funny to weird.

"Why are you talking to me like that? Snape," he said. "We are both people who are not looked down upon by anyone. How can we tell the difference between us?"
