Chapter 156 What he did

Chapter 156:

A beautiful single-family house in the suburbs of London was submerged in silence. At first glance, this house looks no different from an ordinary house. Green ivy climbs all over the low courtyard wall, and the weak sunlight slowly moves on the vines. A gravel path leads directly to the three-story main house in the distance. The path is overgrown with weeds. No one has cleaned the yard for a long time. All kinds of wild flowers and weeds are growing wildly, and bees gather, making it a bit more wild.

The atmosphere here is so peaceful and peaceful, which goes against the current trends in London and even the world.

Two girls suddenly appeared on the gravel path. The tall girl in the lead first raised her wand to cast spells, then led the other, much thinner girl towards the main building. When she reached the door, she picked up the door knocker and buttoned it.

A blue eye first appeared on the door and turned around the two of them. Then a gentle question came from inside the door: "What does Daphne Greengrass care about most?"

"Home." Daphne closed. He raised his wand and answered simply and succinctly.

The door opened with a creak, and Daphne smiled when she saw the middle-aged man appearing at the door: "Mr. Foley, I'm so sorry that we were late."

"It's all my fault for delaying my sister." Astor stood aside. Leah immediately added.

Welfare didn't mean to blame, and looked at the two of them with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late, we just talked about something important." He led the two of them towards the hall, looking at Astoria with his own eyes. The kindness is hard to detect, "I baked cookies and fudge, Leah likes it best, try it." This

is not their first time. At first, Astoria would politely refuse, but after paying attention to Mr. Welfare, After the fleeting loss, she learned to accept it generously.

"Great," she said happily, "I'm hungry right now."

The fairly spacious living room was full of people, and all the extra furniture was put away to make more seats. The hall was filled with at least twice as many students from the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts - in fact, there was no difference between the two now. Daphne led Astoria all the way back and sat between Hermione and another Hufflepuff girl.

Their position was very close to the corner, and they could clearly see another blurry human figure in the corner. They have noticed this shadow since the first time they came here, but no matter how close they are to the corner, it is difficult to see the specific appearance of this shadow.

Welfare indeed comes to the forefront. A miniature model of the Ministry of Magic was suspended in front of him. Starting from the entrance on the first floor to the Department of Mysteries on the ground floor, the internal structure of the Ministry of Magic was analyzed in detail. Each layer is marked with dense red dots. At this moment, Foley raised his wand, red appeared on the tip of the wand, and the same red dot faintly clung to the door of the Department of Mysteries.

"Stogey Podmore marked the magical institutions set up by the Department of Mysteries. So far, one year later, we have tried our best to draw the topographic map of the Ministry of Magic." He did not see much joy. "There is no more use. "Stoji, like many other people who died for this reason, caused trouble in the Department of Mysteries in order to conceal the true purpose. Fortunately, he was not executed immediately, but was taken to prison."

From Foley's tone. But I can't tell how lucky I am. He stared at the extra red dot and the entire model, and even he knew that saying this was just comfort. Every red dot in this model was not filled in by fate. At first I was extremely sad, but now I've basically fallen into numbness.

Instead of mourning the sacrifice, it is better to live well with the last wishes of the deceased.

"Azkaban" Harry asked. Nearly a year of hard work has completely calmed down the boy who was occasionally impulsive when he participated in the competition. But being calm doesn't mean that he should be calm about this kind of thing. Foley and even the rest of the Order of the Phoenix could gradually become indifferent to sacrifice and loss of life, but he could not.

"They have a prison. It's an open secret now. No one knows where the prison is or how it works, and there's never been any news of an escape from anyone who went in. In my opinion, it's better to go to Azkaban than to go there. "Welfare obviously knew Harry's character very well, and he could tell what he was thinking at a glance, "Don't think about rescue, Mr. Potter. Stourge did everything he could to save us,"

his eyes turned red. Quan was probably blinded by the dust rising in the living room: "There are still two months, which is the time we have discussed with that group of people, and it is also the best time. We have to be familiar with all the terrain to the greatest extent," he said towards The shadow that had been lurking in the corner nodded, "Miss Shen from the East has also received news that the peace treaty signed in the past will expire in six months. She does not intend to abide by it and decided to take the initiative. The opponent's number is far greater than theirs, and the capital must defend It's unstoppable, but it can draw Britain's attention. You all know Ilvermorny's plan, no need for me to explain..."

The tea cup Daphne was holding suddenly fell and broke into pieces. Astoria grabbed her sister and chanted a spell in the smallest voice to clean up the debris on the ground.

Welfare's gaze stayed here for a long time: "It should be noted that our side is not the only one in the world who insists on fighting. Miss Shen abandoned the capital to attract attention just to let our side win the game. Only we won this game, Dongfang's The situation will be revived and we will have more opportunities to plan. Don't let our group of 'allies' get what they want."

He said with sarcasm, "I have been in contact with them for the longest time, and I am unwilling to accept the status quo. The restless half-bloods, and the Magical Congress of the United States - yes, Ilvermorny will help us hold back the Magical Congress, but there are no absolutes. They all want a piece of the pie and control it for their own benefit. The whole of Britain. Now cooperation is forced, but we cannot lead the wolf to drive the tiger away."

"I will personally open the door of the Ministry of Magic for you. This will be an arduous battle," he was still looking at Astori. Ya, "The Order of the Phoenix must ensure that all participants in the war must be at least sixteen years old."

Astoria curled her lips and looked very ugly. Daphne would not coddle her in this kind of thing, and also said firmly in a low voice: "This standard is non-negotiable, Leah. You are only fifteen."

Before Astoria could reply, the welfare had ended and he wanted to do it today. Everything he said: "Mr. Potter, now you can tell us what new news Dumbledore has."

Harry stood up and faced countless looks of expectation or admiration. After the sudden change in the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore remained courageous and his magic power was not as good as before. He could feel Dumbledore gradually retreating into the background, pushing him out, using his remaining power to create centripetal force for him step by step.

He cannot refuse and will not refuse.

"Dumbledore found out the fundamental reason why Muggles gain power." He dropped the bombshell news as soon as he came, which really made the crowd talk for a while. "That's a spell. Everything Muggles do is just However, by actively embedding the spell into the soul, the embedding process stimulates the body's functions, and the forced enhancement allows them to feel the mobilization of magic power. This is the most evil black magic, an irreversible process." When

he said this, the crowd who were excited just now suddenly fell into despair. Dead silence. Finally, Alastor Moody broke the silence with an increasingly hoarse voice: "The root of the solution is to keep them away from this damn thing."

This did not have the effect of calming people's hearts. After going around and around, things came back to where they started. If they could do it so easily, they wouldn't have fought for so long and sacrificed so many people.

The light in Harry's eyes grew brighter: "The process is irreversible, but when the soul is strong enough, it can naturally break away from the shackles of the spell and reject the spell that it does not want to do with the body. Dumbledore and other professors are uniting with the East and other A country that is good at souls is on our side, researching ways to enhance souls. "

Everyone knows that this project is huge and will take more than a generation, but no one wants to think about it. At this moment, everyone seems to have a way to dig out a little bit of light from the endless darkness.

Even if it's just the fluorescence of fireflies flying around.

"Harry, Dumbledore asked us to trust you," Sirius pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down again, "We are his and yours from beginning to end."

"It's getting late, They have stepped up inspections recently, and the Loyalty Charm is not a panacea," Foley looked at the clock hanging in the middle and had to interrupt. He threw a handful of powder into the fireplace, and the light that rose up was different from the green of ordinary Floo powder, but dazzling gold. "Go back one by one, be careful."

He kept watching everyone vigilantly throughout the process, until As they disappeared into the fireplace one after another, their tense muscles gradually relaxed.

The person standing in the corner is the last to leave, and his destinations are all different. This time it was Welfare who took the initiative to stop him and raised the tea cup in his hand: "We still have time to have a cup of afternoon tea. Even if the patrol team saw us together, they wouldn't say anything."

The figure paused in front of the fireplace. , until then, I failed to pay attention to welfare. He stopped, but he remained silent.

Welfare suddenly became serious: "Escape. I have a way for you to escape to North Africa, where they can't completely get involved yet. It's still too late to leave now, otherwise your life will most likely be in danger." The

figure remained silent . Standing there, looking at the dying fire.

"Theodore Nott!" Foley suddenly raised his voice, "Dumbledore even admired your potion talent for making chronic potions that destroy souls... You have great talent and youth, and you should not waste your life. You shouldn't be someone who hides behind the scenes here."

"You are more likely to die than me without the guidance of Snape and Professor Slughorn." You must wait until your full name is called. Theodore Nott just raised his head and said, "You are almost certain to die. Opening the door to the Ministry of Magic is destined to kill you immediately. You can't be so naive as to think that she will talk to you about that little bit of family affection that is basically non-existent. What are you doing for?

" Avoiding the olive branch offered by Foley: "Only after you answer this question will I consider your proposal."

"For what?" Foley slumped back in his chair, "Dad felt guilty for his aunt all his life, until he died. They are all concerned about the children left by my cousin. He told me since he was a child that his cousin is the last bloodline left by his aunt. If he is lucky enough to come home one day, he must love her as his own sister. As a brother, he must do everything for his sister. Sheltered from the wind and rain."

He shook the tea cup: "Actually, I watched Olivia quietly with my father. My sister is simple and naive, and she has always been unwilling to think about the world in a bad way. She wants to join the Order of the Phoenix, but she doesn’t want the world to become like this, and she can’t accept that the daughter she gave birth to will become what she is today.” He watched the bubbles in the cup appear and dissipate, “Dad, I only have one child, and I have always wanted As a sister, I want to be a good brother and defend everything. I feel that the beautiful world before was really good and worthy of everyone's waiting."

Theodore Nott listened quietly. Maybe he had been alone for too long and had taken on too much. Although he was not very familiar with him, Foley chose this moment to pour out the words buried in his heart.

Olivia isn't the only one in the world who can't accept what she's become.

The little girl in the first grade who looked at the Mirror of Erised with her eyes shining and a gentle smile disappeared. Everyone said that she only saw power and control, but he stubbornly believed that the scene reflected in the mirror was definitely not about power.

It should be extremely beautiful, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered that smile for so many years.

"My reason is not that noble if I hide it from others. You may not believe it if I tell you. I won't leave. No need to persuade me. This is my choice." He picked up a piece of ashes on the fireplace. "You also take care of yourself. Welfare Sir."

He walked into the green flames, and the flames extinguished so quickly that he didn't even hear Foley's heavy sigh behind him.

The burning stove flickered out, burning the letter thrown into it cleanly. Mu Yu stared at the puddles of ashes, or to be precise, at the spiritual stones embedded in the wall.

The stone is still warm and shiny, and there seems to be nothing unusual about it.

It just looks like it.

She touched Nagini's head, and the big snake was reluctantly pecking at a pool of colorful liquid in front of her.

"Drink up, Nagini," she comforted softly, regardless of whether the snake could understand it or not, "You don't want me to force you to drink it." What

followed closely was the sound of real hoarse snake sounds. Of course she wouldn't think it was from Nagini. Correspondingly, someone's words had an effect, and the snake that was dawdling just now immediately sped up visibly to the naked eye.

Those slender hands rarely lingered on the locket around his neck, but kept stroking the jade pendant on the verge of cracking around his waist.

Mu Yu let him do what he wanted, enjoying the last remnants of the fire and looking at the overlapping shadows on the wall. Such quiet and peaceful moments became less and less, so she allowed herself to cherish every second of them.

It seems that if you let it go like this, you can keep the time that keeps flowing.

"It's news from Shen Yi again." Tom Riddle carefully studied the cracked lines on the jade pendant. He was not at all curious about the content of the letter. In other words, he already knew it. "I want to go with you."

She also overlapped and stroked the cracks: "They decided to discuss the place in the capital, but on the day the city fell, I suggested that Shen continue to change the place." The fire in the fireplace showed signs of rekindling, which just reflected the flash in her eyes. The madness that passed by, "It's in Xianghai, where I grew up. Then you can see the true appearance of my hometown."

Only when the sunset is stained with blood can it be called her true hometown.

The loud roaring noises combined with the beautiful firelight and billowing smoke devastated this ancient city. If there were no artillery fire, even though the two places were still on guard against each other, this night would be just an ordinary summer night. The land of extreme entertainment is full of drunkenness and dreams, the fireworks are brilliant, and the scorched land is struggling to survive, trying to build a home from the ruins of the past.

The sudden gunfire tore apart the peace and quiet of summer.

Shen Qitong woke up as early as the first light came on. The long-term state of tension caused her to sleep with her clothes on almost every night, not daring to slack off in the slightest. The first moment there was a sound, she pulled the whip and stood up, and happened to bump into her junior sister.

"Sister, the enemy is attacking!" Another explosion was heard not far away as he spoke, and the cries and shouts were buried in the violent bombing. "The defensive array is about to expire. You must move immediately."

"Shen Xu tore it up. The side that signed the peace treaty has stopped supplying them with weapons for a long time. Where can they get anything to blast the defensive array..." Shen Qitong was not stupid, and quickly figured out the joint. His face turned pale for a while, and then he raised his head. She wanted to walk out with her legs, "I won't leave, I can't leave now! The capital city must not be lost now, it will last at least two months!"

She said fiercely: "Even if it costs me my life, I will lose these two The moon is filled in!"

Unexpectedly, the junior sister who had always been docile and obedient suddenly knelt on the ground and hugged her legs tightly. The little girl was very strong, and she even cried when she spoke: "It was the people in the city who took the initiative to open it. Defensive formation, open the door to welcome the enemy, and welcome the new world. There is no fighting spirit on the front line, and they are almost entering the city. "

It will be difficult for two months and two days. "

There was another roar, and this time the smell of gunpowder smoke filled my throat and nose. Shen Qitong didn't care about this. When she first heard that it was the people in the city who took the initiative to open the magic circle, she couldn't help but shed tears. In just a few seconds, she wiped her face and decided to rush out again: "You go, go to the extreme north. . The core power of Kunlun is preserved there, the last natural barrier in the north. Take my jade pendant and go there. I will stop. "

She can't lose the capital so quickly. One step will lead to another. But she didn't have this chance. Suddenly, there was a sudden sharp stabbing pain in her leg, and her whole body went limp. The last moment she lost consciousness, the only thing she saw was the tearful face of her little junior sister.

She never expected that her junior sister would take action.

"Senior sister, you cannot die. You are the direct descendant of Dean Ning, the last orthodoxy of the Shen family. If your will is not passed on, how can future generations stick to it?" She wiped away her tears, and several people poured in outside the door. They came individually, each with a sad voice, "Take the senior sister to retreat to the far north, and the rest of you will follow me to defend the city."

The sound of artillery fire outside was much quieter, and the sporadic sounds foreshadowed the current overall situation.

In the firelight from all directions, the little girl's back stood up straight: "The rest of the people in the city have gathered here."

They have been in the same sect for many years, and they have already developed a tacit understanding. At this time, someone answered: "They are all here." "

All the scattered black figures standing on the scorched earth outside are the last people who have not defected to the other side for various reasons.

The little girl pointed her hand to the ground, and a simple high platform suddenly stood up from the ground. She jumped up and stared straight into the dark night, refusing to look at the monsters and monsters underneath. Hundreds of ghosts were rampant. The poor night was dim and there were no stars. The childish voice spread very far under the summer night sky, and neither artillery fire nor thick smoke could block it: "The superior and foolish people do not use wind, frost, and swords to force each other, but use interests to deceive people's minds and entertain them with songs and dances. Destroy people's fighting spirit and break their bones. Think with your brain, think with your human brain, you can gain strength by giving up your faith. Are you taming people's wealth, status, and power step by step? Are you using illusory blueprints to interrupt them? Your backbone uses your own head to make a real choice! If you are willing to stick to your homeland, let us retreat and continue fighting! If you are willing to kneel down and surrender your property, life, and thoughts into other people's hands, I have nothing to say!"

She jumped down. Gaotai, regardless of what the others were doing, led the remaining disciples toward the dark alleys like a giant human-devouring beast. Someone carefully pulled her sleeve, and everyone heard the brief argument between Shen Xitong and her. The person whispered: "We can't keep it for two months. We have to delay it for a long time, but it will only take a few days."

After saying this, no one gathered around her showed any intention of backing down.

"A few days is a few days, and a day is a day." Seeing the constant crying coming from everywhere, she understood clearly why they were crying. A year ago, they defended the city in exchange for peace talks with each other, but now the worries are not coming from outside. Instead, it started from the inside. How could I not feel desolate? What

on earth was the purpose of saving them? "We belong to the same family, and it is my honor to die with you all." Her voice became louder and louder, almost Overwhelming the scattered artillery fire, "We did not die for the sake of others, but died defending the way. Even though we are dead, we are still alive."

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into tears. However, looking into the darkness and hearing the roar, no one took a step back.

The thick smoke finally swallowed people up in the endless alley.
