Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1448 Harry ran away

 “Go back, go back now?”

In the tent protected by layers of protective magic, Harry looked away from the map book in his hand and looked at Sirius, who was slightly panting with confusion, unable to understand why the other party asked them to return to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters immediately.

"Did something happen?"

Hermione is far sharper and smarter than Harry and Ron. When Sirius reminded them to return to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, she guessed what might happen.

 However, the news brought by Sirius was a big blow to the three people who had been enjoying themselves outside for the past few days.

None of them thought that things would end in such a hasty way. They had not seen even a shadow of their long-awaited action against the dark wizard.

“Harry, our enemy is not the dark wizards.”

 “But…” Harry hesitated.

  “There is no but.”

After several people packed up their tents, Sirius apparated directly back to the Order of the Phoenix with the three of them. After making sure that the surroundings were safe, he told Harry and the others the reason why they should return to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

“We suspect that the group of dark wizards are bait thrown by mysterious people to lure us into taking the bait.”

 “Bait?”

 The three of them looked at each other.

"We can't help all wizards." Sirius turned around, put his hand on Harry's shoulder, and continued, "What everyone needs most is not a savior, but courage. Only they can save themselves, And what we can do is to intimidate those dark wizards, let them take the initiative to restrain themselves, buy everyone some time, and help awaken their courage to stand up and resist the enemy."

“That sounds like something Albert would say,” Harry muttered.

Sirius was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is not a warning from Albert, but important news passed back by our undercover agent at the Ministry of Magic."

It’s not that everyone is cold-blooded and just abandons the wizards who need help, but they just learned a shocking news from the Ministry of Magic not long ago.

It is said that the new Minister of Magic is secretly locating Harry's location, and this news was secretly leaked to the Order of the Phoenix by insiders in the Ministry who were dissatisfied with the Death Eaters for allowing dark wizards to wreak havoc in the Ministry of Magic.

 As soon as he received the news, Kingsley smelled a conspiracy and immediately notified Sirius to take Harry back to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.

No matter what conspiracy Voldemort has, they must deal with it carefully to avoid overturning halfway.

After Voldemort allowed the Death Eaters to kill Harry Potter directly, Harry's situation became very bad. Now the Death Eaters turned a deaf ear to the dark wizard's actions, and actually wanted to use this to lure people out.

Whether this target is a member of the Defense Association or a member of the Order of the Phoenix. As long as they don't want to be kicked out of the Death Eaters by Voldemort, they have to do something. Catching or killing a member of the Defense Society or the Order of the Phoenix is ​​undoubtedly the easiest way to prove their worth.

Of course, it would be even better if you could kill Harry Potter. Not only would you be recognized and appreciated by the Dark Lord, but you would also receive an astonishing bounty.

However, many things in this world do not go as planned.

After Harry Potter and his good friends quietly returned to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, the Death Eaters who tried to attack Harry were destined to fail.

　　When the Death Eaters cautiously surrounded him, they were furious looking at the empty camp.

Harry Potter does not have the power of that mudblood. Maybe he has some strength, but as long as he operates carefully, he can definitely get that large sum of Galleons. But now that the cooked duck has flown, how can this not make the group of Death Eaters targeting Harry Potter furious?

 Under the deliberate influence of the Death Eaters, the little deterrence Harry had just accumulated was gradually weakening.

 All the dark wizards knew that it was the Death Eaters who were responsible for the death.

The dark wizards who were defeated before causing trouble have gathered back together and continue to plunder the wealth in this land.

 There is nothing we can do about it.

There are too many poor people in this world. The extreme gap between rich and poor is particularly obvious in the wizarding world. Those poor people living in poverty in Knockturn Alley finally have a chance to turn over. How can they give up this possibility so easily? What's a good opportunity for a turnaround?

Perhaps he will really turn over. Even if he can't, he can still take the opportunity to make a fortune in Galleons to improve his life. As for the bad things he did, wouldn't Voldemort be able to take the blame?

They were carrying the title of Voldemort, and they were able to do bad things everywhere without being troubled by people from the Ministry of Magic. After the suppressed malice was released, they were completely out of control.

This has also led to dark wizards from other parts of Europe coming to Britain, specifically doing bad things under the title of Voldemort.

Poor people may fear Voldemort's aftermath, but they fear poverty even more.

I don’t know if they were worried that the Defense Association would come out to cause trouble and make them lose such a good opportunity. The dark wizards seized the time to benefit themselves, and everyone became extremely crazy.

 Many people think they are crazy!

After the complete loss of deterrence, even more terrifying chaos spread like a plague in the British magical world.

After the loss of order, the first to be unlucky were the shops in Diagon Alley. The original shop owners bravely united to defend their wealth, but they soon discovered that there were too many dark wizards robbing them, leading to many rivalries. The sorcerers in the lane were forced to close their doors.

But it’s not over yet, because the crazy guys will break into the store directly and loot all the goods in the store.

 The joy of zero-dollar shopping inspired people's madness, causing this historic street to come to an end in just a few days, as lifeless as Hogsmeade, which was half destroyed.

Of course, not all the shops in Diagon Alley are closed. There is still one shop still open, and that is Gringotts. Since there are employees sent by the Ministry of Magic to help guard it, no dark wizard dares to take advantage of Gringotts. , any dark wizard who dares to take action will die.

 After the wizards’ shops were robbed, ordinary wizard families were targeted again.

  After all, the little profit in Diagon Alley is not enough to satisfy everyone's appetite, and with some money, they just want more.

As a result, the number of robberies and break-ins in public has increased dramatically.

There is no other way. Everyone hopes to make some money, so naturally they have to compete with other dark wizards.

I even heard that some people got into fights over the trophies, and several people died.

However, the most surprising thing is that the black market in Diagon Alley gradually formed after the chaos.

Just like the original black market in Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley has become lively again, but the people who come in and out are all dark wizards from all over Europe.
