Chapter 281 279 Arrangements for Sirius and Hagrid

Feeney nodded,

"I know, this is actually a declaration of war against the Ministry of Magic, and it is also seeking change."

"Seeking change?"

"Yes, please change. Now Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix, we are too limited. Not only do we have to fight against the mysterious people and the Death Eaters, we also need to deal with the hindrance of the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, we need to make some changes. Let one of them become a teammate or an enemy, instead of this chaotic state."

Astoria nodded thoughtfully and walked through the door of the Slytherin common room.

"Wait, Leah, how are you getting along with your roommates?"

Feeney stopped Astoria who was about to walk towards the girls' dormitory and asked,

Astoria turned back and said with a smile,

"They are all pretty nice,"

After saying that, he skipped into the dormitory, while Feeney stood there and sighed, then came to sit down by the fireplace in the common room,

Today is Halloween. Even the little snakes rarely stay in the dormitory. Instead, they wander and play in the castle. Therefore, there is no one in the Slytherin common room at this time.

Such a quiet environment also gave Feeney a good space to think without requiring him to think in the Room of Requirement.

Astoria Feeney has always had the idea of ​​letting her stay in his dormitory, especially after the return of the mysterious man was announced.

He wasn't worried about Daphne and Draco;

Although Daphne is also a member of the Greengrass family and a member of the Black camp, she has a small group of her own in Slytherin. Judging from their performance, it is not difficult to see that these little witches They are very ambitious, and they also want to form their own team like the mysterious man did when he was at Hogwarts.

Draco is the shadow prefect of their generation and has a separate dormitory. As long as no one in their generation is his opponent, his position will not be shaken. Draco has his own training and is of the same age. It is difficult for people to be his opponents.

Only this little girl, Astoria, is in poor health and has a very poor foundation due to the blood curse. She is not yet a prefect and shares a dormitory with other people. If the parents of those little wizards return to the mysterious man's camp, Those little wizards will definitely target her,

However, it seems that Astoria is still unwilling to do as Feeney arranged. She just doesn't know whether it's because she really doesn't like it or because of shyness.

Speaking of which, Feeney had never noticed before that this little girl was so shy. Every time she talked to him, she blushed and hesitated in a low voice. She was not at all like she was last year.

Feeney sometimes wondered if something had happened to this little girl when he was curing her of the blood curse, and she had changed into a different person.

While deep in thought, Draco returned to the common room and walked over when he saw Feeney.

"Finney, is what Professor Dumbledore said true?"

Feeney raised his head and glanced at Draco, pointed to the sofa in front of him and said,

"Sit down first. I don't know what you are asking. I told you about the mysterious man's return when school started, didn't I? As for Sirius and Hagrid's resignation, it's better that you don't know."

At this point, Feeney stood up and smiled at Draco and said,

"Okay, Draco, you don't need to think about this yet."

After saying goodbye to Draco, Finny did not leave the Slytherin common room and go to the bedroom in the Room of Requirement, but stayed directly in the dormitory in Slytherin.

Although no one has lived here for a long time, it is still kept very clean and spotless by the house elves of Hogwarts.

It's just that the furniture and other things that Feeney arranged inside have changed in the past few years.

The books on the bookshelf have been moved away and remain empty.

The curtains on the bed were also placed on the big bed inside the suitcase. However, the cushions, cat climbing frame, cat litter, cat basin, etc. that were originally used by Chocolate in the corner were still there unchanged.

I don’t know how Chocolate is being taken care of by Lisa, Feeney thought secretly in his heart.

Finny didn't know when the Slytherin snakes returned to the common room. After a night, he got up and washed up as usual. However, this morning he did not go to the auditorium banquet hall on the first floor, but to On the eighth floor of Gryffindor Tower, the principal's office is located behind the two stone statues.

Today is the day that Sirius and Hagrid leave school, and Finny also has some things to tell them.

"Finny, you're here!"

At this time, Sirius and Hagrid were sitting opposite Dumbledore in the principal's office, waiting boredly for Finny's arrival.

When Feeney opened the office door, Hagrid and Sirius's eyes were glowing blue, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting.

Finny nodded to the two of them, walked to Dumbledore's side, sat down and said with a smile,

"Well, I'm sorry, I got up a little late today,"

Feeney greeted the three of them politely and then got down to business.

"Sirius, Dumbledore and I discussed your and Hagrid's resignation together. Hagrid, Dumbledore and I both need you to go near Minsk. Someone has found traces of giants there. We judge that there are traces of giants there. There is at least one giant tribe. According to the information we have received, if nothing else, your mother, the giantess Friedvafa, is also there. Maybe you would like to meet her. "

Hagrid's eyes were wide open, filled with shock and joy.

Hagrid has searched for giants many times and asked them about his mother, but the information he got was mostly hurtful answers such as not knowing, not understanding, or dead.

Now, having suddenly received the answer he had been dreaming of, Hagrid was a little at a loss and looked at Feeney blankly.

Feeney smiled and continued,

"The giants are tall, powerful, and have thick skin that can withstand magic spells. The lethality they cause on the battlefield is amazing. We don't need you to win them over to our side, but they must not be allowed to join the mysterious man. Death Eaters, in this case, our chances of winning will be even lower."

At this time Dumbledore said,

"You can go to Beauxbatons in France to find Ms. Maxime. Like you, she is much better than ordinary wizards looking for giants. They are also unwilling to return to the mysterious man, so there is a high probability that she will help us."

Hagrid nodded, his eyes slightly red, because he suddenly heard the news about his mother, and he was about to burst into tears.

However, several people ignored him. Feeney looked at Sirius and said,

"Sirius, you were dismissed partly because we also need you to do something for us, and partly because of the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class,"

Sirius opened his mouth and was about to retort when he was interrupted by Finny.

"Listen to me first. I know that you are not afraid of that curse. However, we just want to take advantage of this curse. A wizard who has held this position for a whole year will most likely not have a good outcome, even if it is not death. You're going to be in St. Munk's for a while, and the woman who will hold this position after you is Umbridge, and our idea is to use this curse to get her out of Hogwarts!"

"After all, she is an official of the Ministry of Magic. There is no excuse for us to take action against her. Therefore, it is the best choice to let her leave here in an accident. And you have only been teaching for a few weeks and less than two months. The curse has no effect on her. Your influence can be said to be almost invisible, so you can still hold this position next year. If nothing else happens, we may have decided the winner with the mysterious man by then, and this curse will no longer exist. "

"On the other hand, Black is now the main force against the Death Eaters like the Order of the Phoenix. Most of the time, the Order of the Phoenix fights on its own and does not need a leader. Unlike Black, many of the family's forces are mercenaries. They need orders, and you and I are the only two people who can give orders. The fact that both of us are at Hogwarts will cause Black's power not only to not be beneficial, but to become a liability."

"Originally, I thought we could issue orders in Hogwarts. After all, this is the safest place. As long as nothing happens to us, Black's power can be guaranteed. However, now the Ministry of Magic has transferred Hogwarts' external communications to the outside world. Everything is sealed, and there is nothing I can do about my original plan. Therefore, I need you to leave here and lead Blake. Of course, Lisa will be with you. I wrote to her a few days ago and said yes. This is the matter,"

When Sirius heard this, he nodded and said no more words.

"By the way, Sirius, Hagrid, you should pay attention. Since the Ministry of Magic is now monitoring even Hogwarts' communications, I have every reason to believe that they will monitor your magic traces. Therefore, unless necessary, try to Don't use magic to move. Muggle movement is hidden from the Ministry of Magic and they won't be able to detect it easily."

Sirius and Hagrid nodded at the same time, indicating that they understood the matter, and then walked out of Dumbledore's office,

They did not choose to leave the school on the Hogwarts Express, but chose to take a carriage to Hogsmeade, the largest gathering place for wizards in the UK.

"Will they succeed?"

Dumbledore looked at the two people leaving and asked very rarely,

You know, before this, every time Dumbledore made a decision, he would be absolutely confident that he could achieve the results he hoped to achieve, but this time, he hesitated, or in other words, he was no longer so confident.

Finny looked back at him,

The long beard that reaches the abdomen, and the hair that is bound and covered by the purple pointed wizard hat, have all turned into pure white, just like milk without any variegation.

Dumbledore's face also looked tired, and his originally rosy and shiny skin became rough and withered.

The strong back is now slightly curved. It has only been a few years, but Dumbledore's appearance is completely different from when he and Finny first met, as if they were two people.

He is really old,

The greatest white wizard who has been the mainstay of the magic world for decades is really old now.

The separation of old friends, the separation of lovers, and the passage of time have all caused great harm to him.

Dumbledore had never thought about becoming a god. Perhaps even he did not know the things about becoming a god that were hidden by the Presbyterian Church. In short, he was prepared to welcome death with a smile many years ago.

However, it shouldn’t be this time, it shouldn’t be now,

"Don't worry, it won't be now, at least, it won't be after Tom is sent away,"

Dumbledore seemed to see what Feeney was thinking and said,

When Feeney heard this, his subconscious use of Occlumency had already become his instinct, but the next moment he stopped,

Not to mention the agreement between him and Dumbledore, even an ordinary young wizard, Dumbledore would not be able to use the magic of legilimens.

Then he remembered the meaning of what Dumbledore said,

It seems that this old man has a premonition that his life span is coming to an end. Now it is just because the mysterious man is still alive and will cause enough harm to the magic world, so he will not be relieved to leave until everything is settled. go ahead

At this time, Feeney suddenly remembered Dumbledore's death in the original work.

Throughout the entire Harry Potter novel story, there are only a few people who are really concerned about Draco's safety. His parents, Lucius and his wife, Godfather Snape are the first to count, and then Dumbledore.

He knew very well that if Draco didn't kill him, he would be killed by the mysterious man, so he was willing to be killed by Draco,

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Dumbledore was short-lived due to the curse itself, but Feeney did not believe this statement.

You know, this is one of the wizards who has traveled farthest in the legendary realm in the magic world. Although magic is not omnipotent, it can also turn decay into magic. It is just a curse. If Dumbledore pulls out Time could completely solve it, but he didn't. He gave up his life to delay the mysterious man and give Harry and others enough time to grow up.

Even before he died, he never forgot to change the Elder Wand in his hand to an owner that no one could imagine. Only in this way would it not be obtained by the mysterious man.

Shaking his head slightly, Finny shook away the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at Dumbledore and said,

"Professor, even if the mysterious man has been defeated by us now, I don't think it's time,"

Dumbledore smiled and said,

"Finney, you have to know that death is not terrible..."

Feeney interrupted,

"For the dead, death may not be terrible, but, professor, what about the living? For the living, death is an endless torture. Professor, I just sent away Senior Nico , don’t let me send you away in a short time, okay?”
