Chapter 244

"This is a talent."

In John's opinion, this is a good talent who is a perfect scapegoat.

With Umbridge's desire to control, Dumbledore might not even be able to stand it.

Even if Dumbledore couldn't bear it and killed someone like this, John would only applaud.

You've given a gift to Voldemort, so let's give one to Dumbledore too.

With a snap of his fingers, John was about to find Old Barty.

Then Riddle, the black long-eared owl, flew over and brought an envelope.

…

Chapter 268 Tom’s teeth and bleeding

The letter came by chance, and seemed to have been carefully chosen with care.

Riddle likes the smell of lavender, something few people know.

As Johnny Silverhand's royal messenger, Riddle was able to gain a lot of attention.

And in Silverhand Manor, the original rose garden was bulldozed by John and replanted with lavender.

Those lavender seeds were specially sent by Pierce.

Riddle usually likes to stay there, and his body naturally smells of lavender.

The letter was deliberately scented with lavender, and when Riddle brought it, he also placed the envelope on top.

John opened the letter and glanced at it, laughed dumbly, rubbed Riddle's head and said, "It seems you have received a lot of benefits."

Riddle closed his eyes comfortably and purred.

Tang Mi asked curiously: "Sir, what did you write?"

John held the envelope with his fingers and said with a joking smile: "Umbridge has proposed herself. I hope I can recommend her in front of old Barty."

What a coincidence.

He wanted to push Umbridge into the fire pit, but Umbridge came over on her own.

Her attitude was very low, and she almost asked John to recommend her.

As a Ministry of Magic official, Umbridge used to be in the same party as Fudge.

As Fudge stepped down, she became less valued.

Old Barty's rise to power made her anxious all day long, fearing that she would become the victim of Old Barty's next blow.

Everyone in the Ministry of Magic knows that Old Barty's rise to power is inextricably linked to Johnny Silverhand.

The most intuitive example is Scrimgeour, the former director of the Auror Office, who was originally in a department that was not valued, but has now been directly demoted to the Centaur Office.

No centaur would ever use this service, and if anyone at the Ministry of Magic was posted to this department, he would be dismissed.

The person who was once only one step away from the Minister of Magic has now ended up like this, which is simply embarrassing.

In order to avoid being fired, Umbridge spent a lot of money and finally got a chance from Piers.

This carefully prepared letter was written after her investigation.

Knowing that Johnny Silverhand didn't like verbosity and compliments, she directly stated the pros and cons, and said that she would be Johnny Silverhand's most loyal friend.

"Interesting, she is a little thoughtful."

It's probably because Umbridge thought she liked lavender, so she was careful, but she got it wrong.

John touched Riddle's round belly, which contained an unknown amount of dried fish.

Hand the letter to Tang Mi.

Thinking that this was written by Umbridge, Tang Mi took it with a look of dismay.

"Pierce is smart and doesn't take matters into his own hands."

Although Umbridge was provided with a channel, before John expressed his stance, Pierce had already sent a letter explaining his fault.

The tone was sincere, indicating that if John didn't like Umbridge, he would drive the person away.

John asked Donmi to get back to Pierce and tell him a job well done.

This offending position must be given to Umbridge.

The Ministry of Magic needs someone to be both a good person and a bad person.

Give all the good reputation to Oz as the basis for future promotion, and give all the bad reputation to Umbridge. She can't be worse anyway.

After the decision was made, John met with Old Barty to finalize the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the position of senior investigator of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore will make concessions after August 12th. As long as he wants to train Harry, this will be the case.

After finalizing the details, John took off his mask and returned to Privet Drive.

Here he saw Tom standing at the door with an air of dignity on his face.

Tom was so happy to see John back, wagging his tail.

"Did you bite someone?"

Tom was found to have blood in his mouth, and he found a torn-off piece on the grass.

"A commonly used material for Fengya brand wizard robes."

Recognizing it as a wizard's robe at a glance, John looked slightly cold.

Heading to the basement, he checks out the magic.

After reading it, he looked strange.

In the picture on the table, Tom is extremely brave, chasing several wizards to bite them.

Lupine wanted to step forward to stop him, but Tom gave him a low warning.

It's not that no one wanted to use magic. A square-jawed wizard was about to use magic, but was interrupted by Lupine and Moody.

"Don't use magic on dogs!" Moody roared, frightening the wizard.

The young witch Tonks asked in confusion: "What kind of accident is this?"

Lupine jumped, avoided Tom's dog mouth, and said with a wry smile: "This is John Wick's dog. Sirius has met John before."

It was a bad memory, and you can still see Sirius occasionally touching and rubbing his left rib.

"Anyway, no one should use magic on dogs!" Moody was originally lame and the slowest one.

Tom bit down on the wooden leg, and with a loud crunch, the wooden leg burst into pieces and flew away, causing Moody to exclaim.

"What kind of dog is this? Its bite is so strong!"

Before Harry could be bitten, he used the Disillusionment Charm. Tom couldn't see him, but could smell him. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and exclaimed: "How do we leave?"

"Get off the lawn, there's magic here, you can't fly."

After Lupine died, several wizards rolled and crawled away from the lawn.

The square-jawed wizard walked slowly and was bitten in the calf by Tom, who screamed in pain.

It was Lu Ping who went up and pulled it apart.

It was obviously just a bite, but the leg was soon covered with blood.

They left in a hurry and didn't notice it for the time being.

John was very amused when he saw all this.

"The legendary Auror and former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is being chased by your dog."

He shook his head and smiled, opened Tom's mouth, looked at the canine teeth glowing with cold light inside, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that the experiments done during this period were not in vain. Your teeth are very compatible with werewolf teeth."

Today's Tom is not the same dog as before. Ever since he created the Scimitar-Horned Snorlax, John has been trying to enchant animals.

Logically speaking, ordinary animals do not have the magical compatibility of magical animals, so it is basically impossible to successfully enchant them.

But John was a master of alchemy, so he modified Tom's teeth with magical biological materials.

He succeeded, successfully creating a container for Tom to hold the magic power, and at the same time, it also produced some kind of toxicity.

The square-jawed wizard was lucky, because in the evening, John might have enchanted Tom with the basilisk tooth.

At that time, one mouthful will become a wizard.

After stroking Tom's dog's head, John turned his attention back to the group of wizards.

"Since Lupine and Moody are both here, they are most likely from the Order of the Phoenix, coming to pick up Harry?"

Considering that Harry had the Invisibility Cloak, John wasn't surprised that he didn't see Harry.

With this lineup, I can only say that the Order of the Phoenix attaches great importance to Harry.

"Order of the Phoenix, I hope I can succeed." He picked up the fragment, which was stained with the blood of the square-jawed wizard.

John held the fragment in his right hand and his left hand landed a foot above his right.

"Blood Trail."

The blood on the broken steps condensed and floated, gradually turning into an arrow in the air.

A red thread stretches out in the void and is about to touch the arrow.

The next second, John frowned, and white smoke evaporated as if the magic was drained from his blood.

"Protected by magic."

The owner of the blood was in a place similar to a safe house. John had just found the location, but it was quickly erased.

He couldn't even remember it.

"The Loyalty Curse?" John frowned as he already had the answer in his mind.

He didn't expect Dumbledore to move so quickly and already find a base.

I originally wanted to find an opportunity to find the location of the Order of the Phoenix so that it would be easier to plan in the future.

Now it seems that I thought it was too simple.

…

After some twists and turns, Harry finally arrived at his destination.

To his surprise, it wasn't the Burrow.

Moody told him he couldn't go to the Burrow, it was too unsafe.

Moody used the Deluminator borrowed from Dumbledore to turn off all the surrounding lights.

He took Harry's arm, and Lupine and Tonks followed behind carrying Harry's suitcase. Everyone else took out their wands and covered them on both sides.

With such a grand procession, Voldemort would have to come in person to kill Harry.

"This is it," Moody said gruffly, handing Harry a piece of parchment.

Harry looked down at the parchment. The long and thin handwriting on it seemed to have been seen somewhere before. It read: The Order of the Phoenix headquarters is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

He asked curiously: "What is a phoenix..."

"Don't say it here!" Moody snapped. "We won't talk until we get in."

He was wary of his surroundings, fearing that a Death Eater might appear out of nowhere and cast a death curse on Harry.

Seeing that Harry had memorized it, he took away the parchment and burned it.

They are right in front of No. 11 Grimmauld Place, but strangely, No. 10 is on the left and No. 13 is on the right.

This struck Harry as strange that there was no number 12.

"Think about what you just remembered," Lupine would remind him, as he always did when teaching at Hogwarts.

Harry thought carefully about what he just said, and everything in front of him changed.

A broken door appeared out of nowhere between Nos. 11 and 13. The dirty walls and gloomy windows looked out of place with the surroundings.

It was like a house suddenly expanded, squeezing out the houses on both sides.
