Chapter 426: The Loyalty Curse, Sister Tom's Actions
"James, what happened?"
The smart Lily naturally knew that her husband had just rejected Eleanor's invitation, and something big must have happened.
"Are you impressed by July's prophecy?" James looked at his wife seriously.
"Is that what was mentioned in the Daily Prophet some time ago?" Lily thought about the newspaper that Eleanor had just brought her.
"The prophecy is too obvious. In the entire Order of the Phoenix, we and the Longbottom family are the only families with children born in July." James was a little worried, frowning.
"Don't worry, Dumbledore has made arrangements." Lily touched James's forehead with the back of her hand.
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore will be here soon to set up protective magic. We need to go out less for the next period of time." James knew that his wife was comforting him, so he put his arms around her hands, and the two of them looked very affectionate.
"Hey, I'm still here." Sirius (the light bulb) said dissatisfiedly.
"Maybe you should find someone. It's not good to always be wandering like this, is it?" The reliable adult Lupin took on the role of a parent and began to urge Sirius to get married.
"Don't just blame me. What about you, Remus? Have you ever considered finding a female werewolf?" Sirius said half-jokingly.
But unexpectedly, this touched Lupin's sore spot, he fell silent, and the room fell into an awkward atmosphere.
"It's getting late. I'm going back first." Lupin stood up and left in a hurry.
The people in the room looked at each other, and then looked at Sirius.
"I think you might be going too far, Sirius," Peter said slightly.
"Peter, you bastard." Sirius hooked him and sighed, "Okay, I'll go find him and apologize."
"That's right." Lily nodded.
After a while, there was another knock on the Potter family's door. Several people opened the door carefully and saw Dumbledore standing in the snow.
"Professor." James immediately opened the door for him.
"Well, what terrible weather!" Dumbledore shook the snowflakes from his beard.
Sirius and Peter saw the newcomer and stood up to greet him.
"Then let's get started without further ado. Minerva will get mad if we don't finish the school affairs." Dumbledore showed a frightened expression.
"I will cast the Fidelius Charm on the Potter family's ancestral home. This magic requires a secret keeper." Dumbledore looked at the three people and continued to explain.
"Neither the caster nor the protected can be the secret keeper, so who do you plan to let be the secret keeper?"
"It's a pity that the Potter family's confidentiality agreement was lost, otherwise we could become the secret keeper ourselves." James scratched his head, feeling a little frustrated.
"It's okay, brother. We can be your secret keeper, right, Peter." Sirius patted Peter on the back carelessly, and Peter responded timidly.
"Well, I'll start casting the spell now, what are your choices?" Dumbledore looked at James.
"Let Sirius be the secret keeper." James looked at his most trusted friend and decisively entrusted his life and property to him.
But at this moment, the waves of the collective subconscious ocean swept across Sirius's island of consciousness, giving rise to a more brilliant idea in his mind.
"That's all." Sirius nodded.
Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and waved it. The huge magical power directly covered the entire Potter house, turning all its information into an orange ball of light.
"Keep this secret." Dumbledore handed the ball of light to Sirius, watched him hide it in his soul, and then left with satisfaction.
After Dumbledore left, Sirius turned back and said to them excitedly, "How about we let Peter be the secret keeper?"
"What, I...I can't do it!" Peter was the first to jump out and refuse.
"Instead of announcing that you're the Secret Keeper, we can do a Vanishing Cabinet trick." Sirius raised an eyebrow at James.
"You mean, let you be the secret keeper in name only, then guide the Death Eaters to hunt you down, and then put the real secret on Peter, right?" Lily roughly guessed what Sirius meant.
"Smart, worthy of Lily." Sirius snapped his fingers and pointed at her.
"Okay." James didn't even hesitate. As a playmate since childhood, he trusted his friend, so the three of them quietly changed the secret keeper.
The next gear of the prophecy was successfully filled into the corresponding position by them, and the whole machine started to work.
......
On the other side, Senior Sister Tom led people to start a larger-scale search. This time when she returned to the past, the only person she wanted to eliminate was Prewett, who had caused her so much trouble.
"Idiots, you haven't found Prewett's address yet? Didn't I tell you it's in Bybury Village?" Senior Sister Tom angrily rebuked the group of Death Eaters under her.
"But sir, we have conducted a carpet search of the entire village, but we have not found any trace of the presence of wizards in it." A Death Eater reported aggrievedly.
"You dare to question me!" Senior Sister Tom opened her palms, and the shadow behind her rose up. A tentacle made of black colloid stretched out, and the teeth on it chewed while dragging the Death Eater into the shadow.
"Huh!" The other Death Eaters were silent.
"Maybe I should go there myself." Senior Sister Tom touched her chin and stood up.
A magic wand emerged from the squirming shadow, and Senior Tom caught it, then Apparated to the village of Biberil.
Unfortunately, in Biberil, two audience members had already prepared a grand welcome ceremony for her arrival.
As soon as Senior Sister Tom stepped into Bayberil, a huge alchemical matrix covering the entire village was activated, and a channel like an integrated circuit unfolded from the center of the village.
A rune so complex that countless wonderful thoughts arise in people's hearts when they see it floats in the sky. Under the control of the spiritual power beyond magic, all things created by all things are under the control of the two viewers.
The magic power that originally flowed gently in the atmosphere was now like a scorching invisible fire. The air turned into a furnace, locking the heat in a very small range.
"Ms. Tom Riddle, long time no see." Arthurie stood up. The woman in front of her conspired with another guy to plot against her cabbage. The Queen's anger had accumulated to the extreme.
At this moment, use the alchemical matrix to pry the world's blood - magic, assisted by the audience's immense mental power, to melt and cast it, so as to correct everything!
A strong glow bloomed from the earth, but it did not cause any waves under the suppression of the two demigods of the audience. When killing the projection of Senior Sister Tom, Arthur felt a slight fluctuation of the agreement.
"Hmph, I've been waiting for you." She snorted coldly, and finally the matrix started to operate at full capacity, attacking in the direction of the fluctuation with the glow of destructive will.
boom--!
An explosion occurred, and the residual power of the leak flattened the entire hill in an instant, but more damage was poured into the sea of consciousness and was taken over by the thirteenth agreement hiding in the dark.
Then, the storm in the sea of consciousness subsided, and Arthuri and Rada began to search inside.
"Tsk. He ran away!" Arthuri gritted her teeth.
The overflowing murderous intent made the weak, pitiful and helpless kitten hide to the side.
