Chapter 399 Strategic Preparation
In the villa in the forest, Mike and Dumbledore were sitting around a round coffee table. Each had a cup of black tea in front of them. This was served by the house elf named Little Teacup, but at this moment Neither Mac nor Dumbledore wanted tea.
Nearly half an hour has passed since Mike came to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore fully understood the seriousness of this matter after watching Harry's dream.
"Mike," Dumbledore's slightly serious voice came out, "What do you think of this matter?"
Mike glanced at Dumbledore in surprise. Logically speaking, Dumbledore's IQ had already seen through Voldemort's plan, but he still spoke out his analysis.
"Principal Dumbledore, I think this matter may just be Voldemort's smoke screen."
"oh?"
"Think about it. First of all, there is a certain connection between Voldemort's brain and Harry's brain, so Harry can see the memories in Voldemort's mind from time to time. But it should be noted that Harry's power is not as strong as Voldemort's. It seems to be too disparate, Harry can't even do Occlumency. In this case, I don't think the relationship between him and Voldemort is reciprocal. In other words, because the strength gap is too large, it is very difficult to It is possible that the relationship between Voldemort and Harry is only one-sided, Voldemort can explore Harry's brain unscrupulously, and the so-called memories that Harry said he saw are most likely that Voldemort deliberately let Harry see. "
Mike rubbed his arms and said,
"If this hypothesis is true, then the last attack on Mr. Weasley was most likely intentional by Voldemort, in order to make Harry and us believe that Harry could see Voldemort's true thoughts from his dreams.
But this time the nightmare has come again, and the victim is Sirius Black, who is extremely important to Harry. If you were Harry, how would you deal with it this time after experiencing the last tragedy? "
"I will do anything to save Sirius Black myself," Dumbledore murmured, "no matter what the cost."
"Hingguo!" Mike snapped his fingers, "You have said before that only Harry and Voldemort can remove the prophecy ball hidden in the prophecy hall. So, is it possible that Voldemort is unwilling to take risks himself? Going to the Ministry of Magic, so you want to seduce Harry to get the prophecy ball?"
"Bang bang bang, I have to say, Mike, you really surprised me." Dumbledore clapped and said, "Your idea is very consistent with mine. If that is really the case, then we can completely stand still and wait for Voldemort to jump over the wall. Go to the Ministry of Magic yourself!”
"Of course, if Voldemort is really just bluffing, that's okay, but what if Black is really caught?"
The smile on Dumbledore's face paused, and after thinking for a moment, he said firmly:
"Then go save him!"
Mike smiled and nodded, and at this moment, the door of the villa was pushed open again.
Moody, who was wearing a hunting suit, limped up to the two of them, directly picked up the already cold cup of black tea in front of Mike and drank it in one gulp.
Then he slowly said:
"I went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place to investigate, and Black was not there. I asked the house elf named Kreacher, and the old guy lied to me and said that Black was just traveling away. But I didn't believe it, so I tortured him It. Finally it told me that Bellatrix had captured Black."
Hearing this, Mike's brows suddenly wrinkled. The development of things here is different from that in the original work.
In the original book, Black was not captured. Voldemort simply took advantage of Harry's temporary inability to contact Black and made Harry mistakenly believe that Harry had been captured. This led Harry to go to the Ministry of Magic alone.
But now Black has been caught so many times!
Mike couldn't help but look at Dumbledore, who stood up with a serious face and said loudly:
"Boys, it looks like we have to take action."
As he said these words, a burst of flames suddenly burst out in the air, and the fiery red phoenix Fox suddenly appeared on his shoulders.
"Moody, you go and notify Lupine now and they are gathering to prepare for battle." Dumbledore ordered, "Mike, you go back to Hogwarts now to stabilize Harry. You must not let him leave Hogwarts. Let’s meet at No. 12 Grimmauld Place!”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Moody laughed excitedly, and then turned into a black mist and flew out of the villa at a very fast speed.
Mike nodded solemnly, summoned Shuke and returned to Hogwarts.
In the dormitory of Hogwarts, the three Harrys were eagerly waiting for news. When they saw Mike appearing, they immediately gathered around and asked anxiously.
But in the face of everyone's messy questions, Mike didn't take it seriously and said sternly: "Harry, your next task is to continue to complete the OLS exam, and you must not leave Hogwarts. "
"But Blake is being tortured, we have to save him!"
"This is our business, you don't need to worry about it!"
"But……"
"That's enough! The matter has been decided!" Mike waved his hand impatiently, "Hermione, Ron, you must keep an eye on Harry, do you understand?"
Hermione and Ron looked tangled when they heard this, and they were silent for a while before nodding silently.
Seeing this, Mike no longer hesitated and left Hogwarts again.
But at the moment when Shuke Disapparated and left, looking at Harry who was so angry that his whole body was shaking, the corners of Mike's mouth turned up.
Let Harry stay at Hogwarts and not go anywhere?
What a joke!
The purpose of Voldemort's operation was to attract Harry to the Prophecy Hall to take down the prophecy ball. If Harry didn't show up, how would those Death Eaters and even Voldemort himself show up?
So he never had the slightest intention of telling Harry not to leave Hogwarts. All he was doing now was to anger Harry so that Harry would lose his mind and go to the Ministry of Magic in person.
Even in order to prevent Harry from actually being obedient and staying at Hogwarts, Mike also ordered Shuke and Beta to give them a push when Harry was hesitant!
As for Harry's safety, Mike has already thought about it. In this operation, he not only arranged for Beta to follow Harry closely, but Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix and the Los Santos Corps will also protect Harry. Secondary goals.
If something happens to Harry despite such strong protection, then it can only be said that Harry is destined for this disaster!
…
In No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Lupine and Tonks stared blankly at the series of house-elf heads on the wall of the foyer.
It is an ancient tradition among pureblood families that house elves who are too old to work will have their heads chopped off by their owners and hung on the walls.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is extremely cruel, but in the eyes of house elves, it is an honor. There are even many house elves who are still capable of working but are begging their masters to chop off their heads. , in order to obtain this honor in advance.
As a pure-blood family that has been around for a long time, the Black family naturally has a "wall of honor" full of house elves' heads, but since the Black family has almost completely declined.
So this 'Wall of Honor' is mostly filled with old antiques, and no new heads have been added for a long time. But today, there is a fresh new face on this 'Wall of Honor'.
"Why did you kill him?"
Tonks frowned and looked at Moody, who was smoking in the living room. Her hair turned black and purple at the moment, which indicated her bad mood.
After hearing this, Moody waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"He lied to me."
"Is that why?"
Tonks's volume suddenly increased, and her hair changed colors very quickly.
"Are you talking to me, little girl?" Moody suddenly put out the cigarette butt in his hand, "Do you know what he did? Black was hiding here well, but Bellatrix broke in. Came here, attacked and kidnapped him. The house elf could have sounded the alarm immediately to stop this, but he didn't! Just because Bellatrix is also a member of the Black family, and theoretically his One of the masters didn’t do that! He’s a traitor! Do you understand? A wet little girl!”
Moody roared while slowly approaching Tonks. The latter could not help but retreat slowly under his pressure, and the color of her hair turned gray-purple, which matched her panic expression perfectly.
"That's enough, Moody!" Lupine stood in front of Tonks, "Did you call us here just to quarrel?"
"Humph, this little girl started it!" Moody turned and returned to the living room, still muttering as he walked, "It was obviously the house elf who asked me to kill him. I have never heard of it in my life. Such a strange request!”
Lupine shook his head and silently released his hand that had already held the wand.
But Tonks was looking at Lupin with admiration at the moment, not even noticing that her hair had turned pink.
At this moment, a huge flame suddenly burst out of the fireplace in the living room. Moody was startled by this sudden change. After jumping back, he took out his wand and pointed it at the fireplace.
Under Moody's vigilant gaze, the flames gradually extinguished, revealing Mike and Arthur hiding inside.
Although it was an acquaintance who came, Moody had no intention of putting down his wand. The magic eye in his eye socket kept turning. After a while, he put down his wand and said with a smile:
"Mike, you're finally here! Is this the help you brought? Your strength looks pretty good!"
"That's not all," Mike slowly made room and glanced at Moody, "Please give way, others are coming."
The living room of No. 12 Grimmauld Place was very large, and Moody didn't think that the people Mike brought would need to be moved out of the way so that he could stand further away.
However, in order to see what kind of medicine Mike was selling in the gourd, he still moved out of the way as he was told.
Next, a scene that stunned him appeared!
I saw that the old fireplace in the living room seemed to have malfunctioned and began to spit out flames crazily. As the flames were continuously spit out, wizards wearing black imitation military uniforms like Mike began to spit out flames. Appeared in the living room.
No wizard appeared, and Moody's magic eye would stay on them to identify their identities. When the fireplace finally became quiet again, the originally spacious living room was already full of people.
Moreover, the wizards brought by Mike had excellent discipline. At this moment, they had already spontaneously lined up in the form of a square formation!
"Fifty elite wizards with magic power comparable to Aurors! You really gave me a surprise!" Moody opened his mouth wide and said in surprise, "Oh! No! Their equipment is also very good! This... this is a battle Wand holster, curse warning pendant, dragon skin vest! Merlin's beard, and you even gave them the instant messaging badge! This is a high-end product that only Auror troops can equip!"
Moody kept chattering, and his eyes became extremely hot at the same time.
Hearing this, Mike also had a smile on his face. The wizards in front of everyone now were all carefully selected by him. Not only did these people learn conventional high-injury spells including the Death Curse, they also passed Arthur With the physical training and actual combat tests, in terms of strength, he will definitely not lose to the average novice Auror.
And just as Moody said, Mike also equipped them with extremely advanced equipment, which makes them in no way inferior to the combat troops of the Ministry of Magic in all aspects.
There is no need to worry about their loyalty. While enjoying the huge investment and high treatment given by Mike, these people also signed an unbreakable oath with Mike. They have been sold to Mike for the rest of their lives.
At this time, Lupine and Tonks, who were not far away, also approached and looked at these troops curiously.
When he saw them, Moody snorted coldly:
"Hmph! I finally have some confidence in these actions now! Otherwise, we might all die in the Ministry of Magic tonight just by relying on some werewolves and little girls!"
"you!"
Hearing this, Tonks became furious and opened her mouth to refute, but Lupine beside her held her hand firmly.
Lupine shook his head. He knew very well that Moody had always been hostile to him, which was probably related to his identity as a werewolf.
He even wanted to provoke himself just now, so that he could take action first and then teach himself a lesson.
It's just that Moody obviously underestimated the limit of Lupine's tolerance. After wandering for so many years, Lupine had suffered so many insults that it was almost unimaginable. Moody's level alone could not make him furious.
Mike looked at the three people who couldn't deal with this, and his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.
He let go of his magic sense and searched the entire villa. After finding no one else, Mike said angrily:
"Did the Order of the Phoenix just send you three?"
"Of course not!" Moody suddenly turned his head, but his magic eyes were still fixed on Lupin, "Kingsley and the others have already laid an ambush at the Ministry of Magic. When we get to the Ministry of Magic, they will meet us. And."
Nodding expressionlessly, Mike's mood calmed down a little.
To be honest, although Lupine and Moody were strong, they were nothing in the eyes of themselves, Arthur, and the fifty elite wizards behind them.
If Dumbledore really only attracted three or two cats and kittens, Mike would have to reconsider his cooperation with the Order of the Phoenix.
And just as Mike was thinking about the problem, a crimson flame suddenly exploded in the crowded living room again...
