Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
285 Hazy Courage
"...McLean, what do you think?"
Regarding "Whether Harry should understand the status quo", Sirius slyly handed over the conversation to Maca.X23US.COM update fastest
For Maca, almost everyone in the Order of the Phoenix is very convinced, and no one can treat him as an ordinary Hogwarts student.
Since Maca regained the Sorcerer's Stone from Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, every confrontation between him and Voldemort has been admirable. As the head of the Order of the Phoenix, he was commissioned by Dumbledore himself.
And his own strength even almost concealed the fact that "Voldemort's current strength is far beyond that of the past."
There is no doubt that Maca, who stands at the forefront of anti-Voldemort as Harry's peers, is the best person to decide whether Harry should understand the status quo.
Moreover, it was Maca who initially decided to conceal Harry.It's just that almost everyone thought that his reasons were similar to Mrs. Weasley's, so that they ignored the fact that he did not actually give any explanation.
Under Sirius' reminder of what Maca thought, everyone couldn't help but become curious.
"Harry," Maca thought for a while, he put down the custard in his hand, put a smile away and looked at him calmly, "...what do you want to know?"
Maca's tone was relaxed, as if asking Harry what to eat tomorrow morning.But for some reason, Harry, who had felt a little suffocated before, was silent now.
"...I want to know...Where is Voldemort? And...why did he let the Dementors attack me..."
Harry spoke slowly, and the hesitation in his heart was obvious.
Although Maca was as calm as ever, as long as Maca stood in front of him, he could not have the courage to face everything.Is he really qualified to face Voldemort?
"If you know where Voldemort is, what are you going to do?" Maca asked again.
"Of course it was to knock him down!" Harry gritted his teeth. "It was he who killed my parents and killed so many innocent people!"
"How do you want to defeat him?" Maca continued to ask calmly.
"I" Harry's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his head gradually dropped. The bangs on his forehead almost covered his eyes. "I... don't know."
"Then do you still want to know where he is?"
Under Maca's questioning, Harry couldn't help but recalled the words Hermione had mentioned, which was originally from Maca:
"Harry is not in good shape right now. He needs to get rid of the shadow of the top three first, otherwise he is not suitable to participate."
There was another oppressive silence, Harry clasped his hands, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head sharply.
"Yes!" He paused, then looked at Maca firmly, "If you don't understand what he said, you will never know how to defeat him?"
"That's right!" A satisfied smile flashed across Sirius's face.
Maca also nodded and said: "Since you are willing to use your brain, it won't be a bad thing to let you know more about the situation... Mrs. Weasley, sometimes ignorance is more dangerous. I believe you also understand this. ."
"Harry has already been involved in this vortex. If he doesn't swim by himself, no matter how hard we try, we may not be able to push him out of the vortex, right?"
"Okay," Mrs. Weasley took a deep breath. She glanced around the dining table and said, "Okay, okay! It seems that my opinion has been rejected... I just want to say: at least In certain dangerous and uncertain situations, it is better not to let Harry know, as a person who cares about Harry’s vital interests"
"He is not your son." Sirius said softly.
"But it's about the same as my son." Mrs. Weasley said angrily. "Who else does he?"
"He has me!"
"Yeah," Mrs. Weasley said, poking her lips. "The problem is that you are locked in Azkaban yourself and it is impossible to take care of him, right?"
Sirius couldn't help but jump up from his chair.
"Molly, you are not the only one who cares about Harry on this table." Lupin said solemnly, "Sirius, sit down."
Mrs. Weasley and Sirius both pressed their lips tightly and sat back on their chairs slowly.
"As Maca did just now, I think it's best to respect Harry's opinion on this matter," Lupin continued. "He is not young anymore and can decide for himself."
"Yes, I want to know!" Harry said immediately.
He didn't watch Mrs. Weasley just now that Mrs. Weasley said he was like her biological son, and he was very moved.But at the same time, he was also troubled by Mrs. Weasley's excessive indulgence of him.
He agreed with Sirius very much, he was no longer a child.
"Very well" Mrs. Weasley's voice was muted, "Ginny! Ron! Hermione! Fred! George! I want you to leave this kitchen, immediately!"
Immediately, the house felt like a bomb exploded.
"We have grown up!" Fred and George shouted at the same time.
"Does Harry know, why can't I?" Ron shouted.
"Mom, I want to hear too!" Ginny shrieked.
"No!" Mrs. Weasley yelled, and stood up violently, her eyes widened, "I will never allow it."
"Molly, you can't stop Fred and George," Mr. Weasley said wearily. "They are grown."
"They are still in school."
"But they are legal adults." Mr. Weasley still said in that tired voice.
"Oh, well, Fred and George can stay," Mrs. Weasley flushed, "but Ron and Hermione! You have known enough lately!"
"Harry will tell us everything you say anyway!" Ron said angrily. "Will you?"
He met Harry's gaze and asked uncertainly.
In an instant, Harry wanted to tell Ron that he wouldn't tell him a word, and let him taste what it was like to be in the dark to see if he felt well.
But when the two of them looked at each other, his urge to be cautious disappeared.
"Of course I will." Harry said.
Ron and Hermione were instantly pleased.
"Very well!" Mrs. Weasley shouted loudly, "Very well! Ginny went to bed!"
Ginny didn't leave obediently.
They lost their temper when they heard her yelling at her mother all the way upstairs.In the hall, Mrs. Black let out a deafening scream, making the noise even more unbearable.
Lu Ping rushed out quickly, he had to calm the portrait again, otherwise it would be too noisy to continue the conversation.
At this time, Maca also stood up and said: "Then you continue to talk, I have to go to sleep first."
...
That night, everyone finally disclosed part of the truth in front of the children. Although Hermione and Ron knew some of them in advance, many of them didn't.
For example, some changes in the Ministry of Magic, and some of the latest actions taken by Voldemort.
To be honest, the situation is actually very complicated, especially on the Ministry of Magic. Even Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Kingsley and others who work in the Ministry are not very clear about the specific situation.
They only knew that someone was putting pressure on the Daily Prophet not to let them report any news about Voldemort, which was undoubtedly a dangerous signal.
Fortunately, the audition session before Maca was very effective. It not only established Lockhart's image, but also reminded the wizards of the magic world that Voldemort has returned. This is an unchangeable fact. .
"So, the news of Voldemort's return has been spread, hasn't it?" Harry frowned. "Then why does he bother to cover it?"
"Voldemort didn't swagger to other people's doors and slammed their doors, Harry," Sirius said. "He casts magic on them, chants curses, threatens and lures... He is very useful in secret activities Set."
"Anyway, snatching followers is just one of his interests. He has other plans, plans he can implement without knowing it. For this reason, he needs to be as low-key as possible to suppress the bad influence. "
"What else does he want besides followers?" Harry asked quickly.
He seemed to see Sirius and Lupin exchanging glances quickly, and then Sirius answered.
"Something that can only be obtained secretly." Seeing Harry still looking confused, Sirius said again, "...like a weapon he didn't have last time."
"When he used to gain power?"
"Yes."
"For example, what kind of weapon?" said Harry, "more powerful than the Avadaso Curse?"
"Enough!" Mrs. Weasley shouted from the shadows standing by the door.
Harry had just listened so intently that he hadn't even noticed that Mrs. Weasley had returned after sending Ginny upstairs.
She held her arms, her face full of anger.
"I hope you guys go to bed as soon as possible, everyone!" She added, scanning Fred, George, Ron and Hermione one by one.
"You told Harry enough..." Mrs. Weasley said to Sirius again, "Furthermore, you can absorb him and join the Order immediately!"
"Why not?" The words whirled around Harry's mouth, and he swallowed it back.
He thought of Maca. Although Maca was not here now, he still remembered him. Harry understood that he was indeed not qualified to join the Order of the Phoenix, at least probably not now.
"I think Molly is right," Lupin said calmly, "Sirius, we really have said enough."
Sirius shrugged slightly, but said nothing.
Mrs. Weasley greeted her sons and Hermione arrogantly, and they stood up one by one, and Harry had to follow them reluctantly.) Download the free reader!!
