Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1291 Wizard Lookout Station

   "There are at least two **** out there watching us."

   Standing by the window and watching the outside, Ron put down the binoculars in his hand, turned to Harry and Hermione who were fiddling with the radio, and said, "I think we should find a chance to practice it, and take a look at the training results these days."

   "So, what are you going to do, go out and beat up those **** outside?" Hermione raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ron, and asked back, "Is there really any point in doing that besides alarming them?"

"Of course it makes sense. We can not only take away their wands, but also give them a good lesson." Ron stretched out his hand and waved his fist twice, and said viciously: "We must teach those dark wizards some lessons, let them understand It's a very stupid decision to send too few people to watch here, and we can still…"

Ron's tone paused, recalling what Fred said earlier, "Well, I mean, it can also help attract the attention of the Death Eaters, anyway, those **** are already eyeing us, so we shouldn't let them They were so comfortable."

   "That's a good idea."

   "Harry!"

   "We can sneak up on them with the help of the invisibility cloak."

Harry didn't object to Ron's proposal, and said to Hermione, "Don't be like that Hermione, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later anyway, you can't expect us not to run afoul of those bastards, it doesn't hurt to gain some experience now. "

"If you do it before the traces of your body disappear, they will have another legitimate reason to arrest you." Hermione also knew that Harry was right, but she still felt that there was no need to startle the enemy and keep them there. Surveillance, there's nothing wrong with taking care of it when necessary, and...

   "The invisibility cloak can no longer cover us." Hermione reminded helplessly.

   "You can use the Disillusionment Charm. I've been practicing it for a long time." Ron said without thinking, and now he just wants to vent his anger on the two unlucky guys outside.

   No way, who made Charlie lose his life not long ago, and the Weasleys are still bedridden because of the Cruciatus Curse.

   Bill and Fu Rong fell into depression because of the wedding.

"The broadcast has already started. You can wait until you have listened to the broadcast from the Wizard's Observatory before acting." Harry suggested that he could actually understand Ron's mood, and it wasn't considered death. The actual combat test, and the few people outside are undoubtedly a good choice.

   "Shh, here we go."

  Hermione made a quiet gesture and turned up the volume of the radio.

  A familiar voice rang in my ear.

   "It's Lee Jordan, after all," Harry muttered.

   That guy used to be a Quidditch commentator, and now he is acting as a broadcaster to report recent events to people.

"... According to the latest information, the mysterious man became the real Minister of Magic. This happened just a few nights ago. He led his henchmen to successfully control the Ministry of Magic and successfully completed a coup d'état. As for the current Minister The Piers Thickness in the office is just a humanoid puppet to help with daily affairs...We can't rule out that Thickness was controlled by the mysterious man using the Imperius Curse, or it may be the former Ministry of Magic magician. The Director of the Department of Law Enforcement, after Scrimgeour died, in order to save the lives of himself and his family, he chose to act as a fool and fell to the side of the mysterious man. In any case, this new minister is not trustworthy, unless you plan to join the mysterious man Or locked in Azkaban with dementors."

   "What kind of situation do you think?" Harry asked suddenly.

   "It should just be controlled by the Imperius Curse." Hermione speculated, "After all, Piers Thicknesses also opposed the Mysterious Man before, so the Mysterious Man..."

   "The Ministry of Magic is not short of fools. Just look at the group of Aurors and you will know what they are."

Ron also didn't have any good feelings for the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. If it wasn't for Scrimgeour, their family might not be in such a miserable situation. After Scrimgeour singled out Voldemort for them and died, those Aurors actually acquiesced in the Mysterious Man and Death Eater. The gangsters controlled the Ministry of Magic, and directly changed from a vanguard against dark wizards to a lackey of You-Know-Who, which is simply a disgrace to the Aurors.

   "Because they're scared!" Harry said softly, "It's actually not difficult to understand."

"Even though Aurors have been at the forefront against dark wizards, they also have their own family members, and they worry that if they stand up, their family members will be threatened and even persecuted because of it." Hermione thought of Albert , he had the foresight to hide his family, Scrimgeour's family was also hidden, including the Auror's family, but... Scrimgeour died, they lost their leader, and became A plate of loose sand.

"...It is unrealistic to expect everyone to stand up against the mysterious man as bravely as Kingsley, but we still hope that Aurors can secretly support Harry against the mysterious man, and can contribute their own at critical moments strength."

   "Is this really okay?"

  Ron heard that Lee Jordan mentioned Kingsley and planned to use him as a model, so he couldn't help but worry about the other party's safety.

"It should have been agreed by Kingsley, and Kingsley has also been targeted by Death Eaters. It is impossible for him to return to the Ministry of Magic to continue his post, at least not until the Ministry of Magic returns to normal." Hermione remembered Abel Tate once mentioned that if they win the final victory, Kingsley is likely to become the new Minister of Magic.

   "Tonks doesn't seem to be going back either." Ron said suddenly.

   "Tonks is pregnant, Lupine told me." Harry noticed the eyes they were looking at, and explained, "I promised Lupine to be godfather to their child."

   "Harry, if you have a child in the future, I can be his godfather." Ron patted Harry on the shoulder and said.

   "Oh, of course it's okay." Harry shrugged and said openly, "The first thing is that I'm still alive after this war is over."

   "Don't say that to Harry." Hermione was a little sad. Ever since Harry learned from the story of the three brothers that the last object he needed to defeat was death, he began to suspect that he might not live to the end of the war.

"I think you should still be alive. Don't forget that Anderson said that you defeated the mysterious man. Maybe you can ask him to tell who your future wife is." Ron suddenly turned his head to look at the door, and the bedroom door was pushed open. up.

   "Ginny, what's the matter?"

"Is the radio here with you? Fred told me that today there is a... broadcast from the wizard's lookout station." Ginny tried her best not to look at Harry. She obviously heard the communication between the three of them and sat directly next to Hermione. Next to him, listen to the radio broadcast from the wizard lookout station.

   Soon the only voices in the dormitory were Lee Jordan, Fred and George.

   "…the latest Ministry of Magic policy?"

   "Oh, is that disgusting Muggle-born registration?" Fred couldn't hide his disgust in his voice.

   "This newly established Muggle-born registration department will be headed by the pink toad Dolores Umbridge." Lee Jordan revealed the secret to everyone like Santa Claus unpacking the package.

   "Isn't Pink Toad sentenced to life imprisonment?"

   "That guy has resumed his position as Deputy Minister of Magic."

   "She was reappointed, and I have to say that the mysterious man has unique taste." Fred mocked.

  "Of course his taste is very unique. Don't forget that the mysterious man has no lips and no nose. He also has a nickname..." George dragged his tone deliberately, "No-nosed monster."

   "Ahem, talking about the end of the chat, maybe we should talk about something important, after all the dementors have returned to Azkaban?"

   "This is really bad news."

   "It's really bad, it is said to be related to the Muggle birth registration."

   "This damned Muggle-born registration was the idea of ​​Pink Toad, let us curse her to become a toad forever, and never have the chance to jump out and hurt people again."

   "Get to the point."

   "Ahem, I just mentioned Muggle birth registration. Once you can't verify that you have a solid wizard blood, it will be defined as a crime."

   "Crime, you sure."

   "Yes, it's a crime. Those Muggle-borns will be charged with "theft or violent acquisition of magical abilities" and sent to Azkaban to accompany the dementors."

   "Oh my God! How could people allow this to happen."

   "No one can stop it, it should be in the next few days, let us wait and see. If not..."

   "I thought you were going to say let Umbridge eat shit."

   "I remember Albert mentioned this matter very early on, and he also tried to remind and help those Muggle-born wizards in various ways."

   "Those who didn't buy "Guide to Self-Defense" probably regret it. It is said that the book was taken off the shelves."

"I have a hunch that many people will go into Azkaban for a walk, and it's hard to say whether they will come out. After all, Death Eaters take pleasure in torturing Muggles and Muggle wizards, and Umbridge also likes A tormenting habit that many Hogwarts students share."

   "You're going to freak everyone out," Lee Jordan muttered.

   "It's better than letting them lose their lives like Professor Caredy Bubbaji." George said.

   "I bet it won't work that much." Lee Jordan changed the topic, "Okay, let's look at another latest news."

  "According to the information obtained from the Ministry of Magic, the old bat, that is, Snape, will replace Professor Dumbledore as the new headmaster of Hogwarts."

   "What a disaster."

   "So, is Hogwarts going to become a school for the dark arts like Durmstrang?"

   "Not on the surface, but now that Hogwarts has vacated Muggle Research and Defense Against the Dark Arts, there will be two Death Eaters serving. This also means that Hogwarts will usher in the era of the Dark Lord."

   "So, Defense Against the Dark Arts class will not be changed to Dark Arts class?"

   "Why are you paying attention to something so strange."

   "No, I'm actually more curious. Can this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor resist the curse in this class?"

"I think the difficulty is very high. According to the information I have obtained, the reason why the Defense Against the Dark Arts class often has accidents is that this class is cursed by a mysterious person. He is the servant of the mysterious man and is free from the curse. Only when the mysterious man is completely finished, the curse on the defense against the dark arts will completely disappear."

   "Looks like the Death Eater was in for a treat."

   "Your topic is off again, everyone is more concerned..."

   "Death Eaters naturally teach black arts. Do you expect him to teach you defense against black arts? I suspect that guy doesn't know defense against dark arts at all."

  …

  The radio is still going on, and it sounds like they're trying to make it as interesting as possible.

  Harry also found this easier to accept than telling everyone the "truth".

   "How many people do you think will believe it?"

  Hermione turned off the radio after the broadcast, and turned to look at Harry, Ron and Ginny.

   "There should be quite a few. Now everyone is eager to know the truth." After empathizing, Ginny also felt that this broadcast was really useful.

   At least better than the Wizarding Radio News Feed' and the Daily Prophet.

"A lot of people are dubious now, don't know who to believe, don't know where to discuss these things, maybe they don't necessarily believe what is on the radio, but I think they will definitely believe what they see, especially on the radio. After the things discussed happen, the mysterious man can no longer control everyone's information sources through newspapers and radio." Hermione felt that radio would play a greater role in the future.

   "When they gradually regain their senses, they will definitely realize that what was said on the radio is correct, and they will believe more and more in the contents of the Wizard Watchpoint."

   "Harry's supporters will also increase by then."

   "Perhaps Albert will find a way to organize them then." Harry heard from Fred that they were planning to do that.

   And the most important thing now is to find the remaining Horcruxes, destroy them, and turn Voldemort back into an ordinary person.

   "Now that the broadcast is over, shall we go out and give those two guys..." Ron cut his neck.

   "I'll go and talk to Sirius about this, and then we'll go out together." Harry pushed the door and walked towards the living room.

  At present, Sirius still stays at the headquarters most of the time, not only to take care of Harry, but also to teach everyone fighting skills.

  After hearing the plans of Harry and the others, Sirius did not reject this seemingly rash move.

  All members of the Order of the Phoenix knew that Harry would leave here when he became an adult to complete the mission assigned to them by Dumbledore, and it was inevitable that he would go to the battlefield.

"Just do what you want." Sirius reached out and grabbed his godson's shoulder, "But Harry, I still hope you will use your brain before doing things, although this is indeed a bit difficult for most Gryffindor students .”

"I will."

  Harry put on the invisibility cloak, and followed Ron and Hermione out of the safe house through the back door, preparing to test the results of their recent training.
