Study Days at Hogwarts

   Chapter 1302 DA

  Hagrid was still not convinced after all, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron were all very helpless about this. They all felt that Sirius was right, but since Hagrid himself didn't want to, they couldn't say much.

  That night, Hermione went to Harry and Ron's bedroom to discuss tomorrow's affairs, and helped them see if they had brought everything.

   After all, this time I went out to find the Horcrux, and I don't know when I will come back.

   "...That is to say, we will go to the shelter to visit the expelled students first, and then go to Godric's Hollow." Hermione frowned slightly, she knew why Harry insisted on going to Godric's Hollow, but...

   "Don't worry about Hermione, even if someone is watching there, it can't be the mysterious person, not to mention we still have detection pocket watches, if we really detect danger, it's not too late to leave."

  In Harry's opinion, the risk of going to Godric's Hollow is average, let alone such a small trouble, how to face Voldemort in the future.

   "But Harry..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "They probably guessed that once you were free to move, you would first go to worship your parents' graves, didn't they?"

   "I believe Voldemort doesn't have that much time to go and block me himself." Harry said contemptuously, "That guy looks down on me, this is our advantage."

   "Harry, can you not use that name," said Ron feebly. "Shall we call him Noseless?"

  Harry ignored Ron's words and continued: "We still need to go to Hogwarts, and need the sword of Gryffindor, or the fangs of the basilisk, so that we can destroy that thing after we find it."

   "Is that a very risky thing?"

  Hermione also didn't approve of Harry going to Hogwarts.

"No, if we go to Hogwarts before school starts, Snape probably won't be at school at this time." Ron felt that they should avoid Snape and the Death Eaters for a while, "There should be no danger as imagined there, And they probably never thought we'd be going to Hogwarts."

   "Of course I know, but..."

  Hermione's words were interrupted by Harry.

   "Hermione, have you ever wondered where Hufflepuff's gold cup will be placed?" Harry said suddenly.

   "Do you know where that gold cup is?" Hermione's eyes widened in shock.

   "Since Voldemort gave the diary to Lucius Malfoy for safekeeping, what about the gold cup, crown, or other things?" Harry asked rhetorically, "Will he also choose to give it to other Death Eaters for safekeeping?"

   "It's possible." Hermione felt that Harry's line of thought was fine, "You think it's Snape?"

"No, I just think we need to learn something useful from the silk eater, and Snape is undoubtedly a good choice. If we can control Snape, knock something useful out of his mouth It’s not bad.” Harry shook a bottle of Veritaserum, “Don’t forget, maybe Snape is the only one in Hogwarts right now, and we can find a bunch of helpers, if he’s really there Hogwarts words."

   "Where did you get the veritaserum?" Ron was very surprised by this.

"From Kingsley. Scrimgeour used to use this thing to torture prisoners in the past. Kingsley also has it. I asked him for it." Harry handed the bottle to Hermione, "If we are lucky enough to say , maybe you can find news about Ravenclaw's crown."

   "Unfortunately, Lucius Malfoy is dead, otherwise maybe some useful information can be pried out of him."

   "Yeah, it's a pity he died." Ron gloated: "Draco Malfoy must be very sad, that guy is now alone."

  The three of them counted their supplies and carefully planned what to do in Godric's Hollow, and then went back to rest.

   After a simple breakfast the next morning, the three followed Sirius, Kingsley and Moody to the shelter.

   "Hush!"

  Moody made a hush gesture to the three of Harry, and after carefully observing the surroundings with that fake eye, he lowered his voice and said a few words to Sirius and Kingsley,

  The two exchanged glances with each other, then turned and left.

   "Where are you going?"

  Harry asked suspiciously after the two returned.

   "Get rid of the dark wizard who is monitoring here." Sirius explained, "The Ministry of Magic has been sending people to keep an eye on this place. We think it's best to keep your whereabouts secret."

"gone!"

   After confirming that the surroundings were all right, Moody led the way ahead, led the three of Harry to an open space, and took out a silver card from his robe pocket and handed it to Harry.

   "Ai..."

   "Don't say it here," Moody warned.

"Feel sorry."

  A dilapidated hotel appeared in front of them without warning.

   Several people stepped forward and disappeared.

  This place is actually similar to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, except that the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix has been carefully cleaned, and this place is obviously still half deserted.

   "How is the situation here?"

   Kingsley greeted Ted who came to check the situation.

   "It's not very good, those kids only know how to complain now." Ted shook his head and smiled wryly. He actually regretted taking over this job a little bit. Those students who were expelled always like to come to him to complain, as if complaining to him can be resolved.

   "Don't say that about Ted, that's a minority."

  A voice came from upstairs, it was Dean holding a wand.

"A few, yes, there are only a few who haven't complained to me." Ted shook his head, "They don't feel like refugees at all, this is not Hogwarts, there are no house elves to take care of their daily life. "

However, Dean didn't seem to care about what Ted Tonks said, but looked at Harry, Hermione and Ron, and said happily: "Harry, you finally came to visit us, everyone will be very happy. "

   As he spoke, Dean took Harry upstairs, preparing to tell everyone the news of Harry's arrival.

  Hermione and Ron looked at each other, and followed them upstairs.

  As soon as he reached the third floor, Dean shouted towards the corridor: "Look who's coming!"

  The door of a room in the aisle opened, and several heads came out of the room, and then someone screamed and shouted: "Harry!"

  More and more people are attracted by the sound.

   "It's Potter, it's Harry Potter!"

   "Ron!"

   "Hermione!"

   The corridor was quickly filled with crowds, and Harry, Ron and Hermione were surrounded by enthusiastic people.

  Those people hugged them, shook their hands, punched their backs, and looked extra excited.

   "Harry, are you going to stay here too?" Colin Creevey asked excitedly, and his younger brother Dennis was also full of excitement.

   "No, I'm just here to visit everyone. We still have things to do next." Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Harry shook his head and emphasized, "It's very important."

   "What's important." Someone finally couldn't help asking.

   "How's it going here?" Harry changed the subject.

   "It's not good, there's nothing here." A girl complained, "Sometimes I feel like a prisoner in a prison."

   "Can't you get out of here?" Hermione reminded sharply.

  The expressions on everyone's faces were a little unnatural.

   "This is just a place for you to temporarily avoid being hunted down." Hermione felt that this group of people really didn't know what to do. "What do you need, you can spend some Galleons and ask Mr. Tonks to buy it for you."

   These words are too harsh.

   Undoubtedly mocking everyone present, but they couldn't refute.

   "It's really not safe outside."

  Harry interrupted the possible conflict: "If Remus or Moody has time, they will find time to come over and give you Defense Against the Dark Arts."

   "Of course, these are all voluntary." Harry added.

   "Harry, why don't we overthrow Snape." Justin Finlieri couldn't help asking.

   "And then?" Harry asked rhetorically.

   "What?" Everyone was a little confused.

"I mean kick Snape out of Hogwarts, and then?" Harry sighed, and asked back, "Don't you realize why you're here? It wasn't that Snape fired you, But Voldemort..."

  When Harry said Voldemort in public, everyone around him gasped.

   "You need to get used to it." Harry looked at the fearful faces and reminded, "Voldemort won't let us off just because he doesn't call him by his first name."

   "We are not alarmist. You should know that many Muggle wizards outside have been imprisoned in Azkaban Prison." Ron threatened, "I heard that many wizards can't survive two weeks."

"Ahem, it's best not to use his name directly outside, because..." Hermione took a deep breath and said, "Because the name Voldemort has been cast under a spell, if it is used outside, it is likely to attract Death Eaters .”

   "So, you better call him another misnomer, like the Noseman." Harry repeated the jaw-dropping nickname, "That guy doesn't have a nose, and he doesn't even have lips."

  Everyone stared at Harry dumbfounded, and couldn't believe what they had just heard.

"Maybe, there will be a day when we drive Snape out of Hogwarts, but not now." Harry knew what everyone wanted to hear, but he still chose to tell the cruelest truth, "Even if we drive Snape out of Hogwarts now." Nep, in the end, will only lose under the siege of Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic, and will suffer heavy losses, such sacrifices are meaningless."

   "We don't have many supporters." Hermione reminded.

"how come!"

   "Unfortunately, most wizards in the wizarding world choose to remain neutral." Harry shrugged helplessly, "However, I am still working hard to defeat the mysterious man."

   "We support you Harry." Brother Creevey said loudly.

   They quickly gained a few voices of support from Harry's acquaintances.

  The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

"I didn't ask you to support me, this war is too cruel for you." Harry said calmly, not affected by the awkward atmosphere at all, "However, I still suggest that you take some time to learn black magic Defense, whether you're going to fight the Dark Wizards in the future, or defending yourself will require strength, unless you want to stay in the sanctuary forever until the end of the Second Wizarding War."

   "If you don't want to stay here, you can also ask Mr. Tonks to take you away safely, but it may not be safe outside." Hermione emphasized again, but it attracted many dissatisfied eyes.

   "Professor Moody will find time to give you a Defense Against the Dark Arts class later." Harry raised his hand to suppress the noisy voice, "If you want to attend the class, you can go to the second floor, they should be cleaning there now."

   Saying that, Harry walked downstairs, he felt that maybe he shouldn't be here today.

   "What's the matter, Harry."

"nothing."

   “I don’t think they understand their situation at all.”

   "They're just..."

  Dean hesitated to speak, but he knew that Ron was right, and many students didn't have time to straighten their minds.

   "The environment here is really bad, and it's inevitable that everyone will complain." Dean sighed.

   "Why don't you clean it up, don't you have wands?" Hermione sneered, the people here really disappointed her.

"This is not Hogwarts. All the things you use are bought by Galleons donated by everyone, but the few hundred Galleons are only enough to barely maintain the food supply here, so that you can fill your stomachs and not starve. "

  This is for the students who are eavesdropping.

   "Just a few hundred Galleons for those foods?" Dean couldn't help screaming.

"It's normal!" Ron reminded, somewhat puzzled by Dean's reaction, "You probably forgot that there are dozens of people here. If you need one galleon a day, you need three galleons a year." One hundred and sixty-five galleons. In other words, this place can probably last a year of food supply, but no one knows how long this wizard war will last."

  Dean fell into a brief silence, and suddenly asked, "Is the Order of the Phoenix still recruiting?"

   "You have to ask Moody them."

   "I thought you were going to join the Defense Association." Hannah walked towards this side, and Justin beside her smiled and shook hands with Harry.

   "If you come over a few days later, the situation may be much better. Cedric said that Albert will take time to come over recently to deal with these matters."

   "I just want to get out of this place right now," muttered Dean. "I'm done with boiled potatoes."

   "By the way, Harry, this is for you." Hannah handed the correspondence bookmark to Harry.

   "This is?" Harry took the communication bookmark in doubt.

   "I've contacted Neville, we plan to restart Dumbledore's Army, I hope you can..."

   "Sorry Hannah, we have our own things to do." Harry directly refused.

   "We can help you," Justin said. "You need help."

   "Sorry, you can't help with that matter for the time being." Harry shook his head

   "Why can't you trust us." Dean complained in a low voice.

   "Because it's the top secret, and no one else knows." Harry interrupted in a low voice.

"Brother, if you really want to help us, you should train your defense against the dark arts well. One day we will fight the mysterious man, and we will need your help then." Ron patted Dean's Shoulder said, "As for the task Dumbledore left for the three of us, this needs to be kept secret."

   "Shut up Ron, maybe I should sew your mouth shut." Hermione gave Ron a dissatisfied look.

   "What task?"

   "Don't ask, and don't spread the word, it won't do you any good, it will only cause us unnecessary trouble." Harry regretted coming.

  However, he also knew that he had better come to meet with them once, which would help improve cohesion. Even if all the members who settle here cannot become a force against the mysterious person, there are still some worth fighting for.
