Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 392 Order of the Phoenix Base
After leaving Hogwarts, Mike returned to the secret place of the Masonic Society, and used the fireplace built in it to take the public floo network directly to Norwich in the east of the country.

This is a peaceful city, and the buildings in it have a feeling of the 80s in the Coal Country. Of course, these are a bit outdated in this era.

The Floo network node established by the Ministry of Magic is located in an abandoned villa on the edge of the city. When Mike walked out of it, he found that the yard of the villa was already full of weeds. The outside is filled with skulls and stick figures of various ghosts carved with a knife - needless to say, this must also be a 'haunted house' full of ghost legends.

Mike didn't stay here any longer, he summoned the Firebolt and flew towards the west.

There are relatively few forests in the country, so Mike took the night wind to search in the air for only half an hour before finding the forest that Dumbledore wrote on the note.

But when he fell by the small river in the middle of the forest, an accident happened!
I saw that the trees near the lake in the center of the forest were surrounded by a large number of vines. These vines twisted their bodies and swept towards Mike the moment Mike landed.

'Devil's net! '

With the still bright moonlight in the sky, Mike recognized the identities of these vines at once, and then he pulled out his wand!
"boom!"

There was only an explosion in the air, and a large group of crimson flames ignited from the blackthorn wand, and the devil's nets that were sweeping towards this side felt the heat of the flames and began to recede!

However, they did not give up on Mike, their prey, and stopped after shrinking back ten meters away from Mike, staying in the dark and ready to move, ready to swarm up after the flame disappeared.

Slightly relieved, Mike looked around vigilantly, and walked towards the three huge elm trees growing side by side not far away.

This is the forest where Dumbledore's safe house is located. Although Mike can easily reduce this forest to ashes with his current strength, it is predictable that even if Dumbledore's safe house is not destroyed by flames, it will definitely be destroyed. will be imaged.

When he came to the three elm trees, Mike only saw the forest full of fallen leaves and trees like the surrounding ones, and he didn't see the shadow of the house at all.

But he was not in a hurry, but closed his eyes, silently reading the address given by Dumbledore.

'Twenty miles west of Norwich, on the west side of a small lake in the middle of the forest, at three parallel rows of elms. '

Repeated silently three times, when Mike opened his eyes again, he found that the forest in front of him had changed dramatically!

The space in front of him suddenly distorted, and a dilapidated villa popped out, twisting and squeezing all the surrounding trees, including the three huge elm trees, to the sides!

Although he was used to all kinds of wonders in the magical world, seeing such a huge Fidelity Charm for the first time still made Mike lose his mind for a while.

And when he came back to his senses, he found that the space in front of him had stopped twisting, and a dilapidated villa with a garden opened its door to him.

Taking a deep breath, Mike walked towards the villa with a magic wand like a torch. The garden of the villa was already full of thick fallen leaves. These fallen leaves were rotting wantonly in the damp forest, forming a black patch on the ground. Brown sludge, it feels like you're in dog shit when you step on it, which makes Mike very uncomfortable.

But it’s okay to be unhappy, and now Mike can only move on.

However, as revenge for the laziness of the garden owner, Mike did not wipe off the mud from his feet on the stone slab at the door when he stepped into the villa. So, as Mike strode into the villa, the hall in the villa's foyer was full of dust. A series of black footprints were printed on the stone floor.

There was a house elf standing in the foyer of the villa with its ears raised. Mike guessed that he should be sent by Dumbledore to meet him, but he seemed very dissatisfied with Mike's behavior of bringing in the mud from outside, standing there Trembling with anger.

Unfortunately, as a house elf, he does not have the right to beat up guests.

So after staring at Mike for a moment, he gritted his teeth and pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor.

"You're a bad house-elf," Mike suddenly cheered up as the house-elf passed by and walked towards the stairs, and said to the house-elf, "this villa is very dirty, especially the garden outside. It can be seen that you usually Not working hard at all!"

After saying that, Mike walked up the stairs with a smirk on his face, leaving only the house elf staring at Mike dumbfounded.

I don't know how long it took until Mike disappeared around the corner, and the house elf didn't react.

I saw him snapping his fingers to conjure a broom, then gritted his teeth and walked towards the garden outside the villa.

At this time, Mike walked into the only room with an open door on the second floor.

This is a room filled with all kinds of books. Compared with the outside, it is still clean. Although it is still a bit messy, at least there is no such ubiquitous dust.

The only thing that can be called furniture is a set of desks placed directly in front of the window, and the person Mike is looking for on this trip, Dumbledore wearing a set of orange and white spotted nightgowns, is facing Mike , looking through the transparent glass window at the small lake reflecting the moon not far away.

"You shouldn't tease Little Teacup, he's a very good house-elf, the reason it's so dirty here is not because he doesn't work hard, but because I just borrowed him from a friend's house and I haven't had time to start cleaning .”

Dumbledore's iconic voice came slowly, and Mike was not stubborn. His behavior just now was indeed a bit nasty and childish, and those words were likely to cause incalculable psychological harm to the house elf, so the other Said expressionlessly:

"I'm sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore. I'll apologize to the little... little teacup later for what I said and did just now."

"Very well," Dumbledore turned to look at Mike with a warm smile on his face, "Then Mike, why did you come to me?"

Dumbledore also wore a nightcap on his head. It was an orange velvet pointed hat, which looked a bit like a Christmas hat, but there was a huge ball of snow-white wool on the end of the hat.

As Dumbledore turned around suddenly, the ball of wool shook violently, and it was very funny to match Dumbledore's Kipa nightgown.

Mike restrained his smile, forced a straight face, and said seriously:

"It's Harry, I used Legilimency on him when I was teaching him Occlumency, but I didn't expect to find that he started having that kind of nightmare again recently. And this time, Voldemort appeared in his dream! "

Hearing this, Dumbledore's complexion changed drastically, the original warm smile disappeared, and he changed into a serious expression and asked:

"What kind of dream is it?"

"See for yourself."

With that said, Mike took out the blackthorn wand, pressed the tip of the wand against his temple, and moved the wand slowly after a burst of energy.

Following Mike's movement, a ray of bright silver light was pulled out by the tip of the staff.

Seeing this, Dumbledore also understood what he meant, and casually took out a huge marble table higher than the entire desk from a drawer of the desk, and a large number of ancient runes were engraved around the stone table, among which even Mike Can't recognize it.

And on the top of the stone platform, there is a semicircular groove, which is filled with a pool of bright silver liquid.

Pensieve!
Mike made a judgment, and then raised the wand and put the ray of light into the basin.

As waves of ripples spread, Dumbledore couldn't wait to bury his head in it.

……

"Hall of prophecy, his goal is that prophecy!"

The words were blurted out 10 minutes later when Dumbledore poked his head out of the Pensieve.

At this time, Dumbledore's expression was very complicated. There was a bit of surprise in it, but he seemed a little relieved, as if he had expected Voldemort to do this for a long time, but he still couldn't believe it.

Mike secretly rejoiced. Knowing the plot well, he already knew that Voldemort's goal was to store the prophecy about him and Harry in the Hall of Prophecy, and he had already thought about this plan in detail on the way here.

In the original book, Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix did fight Voldemort and his Death Eaters in this hall of prophecy, but the result was dismal, because although they prevented Voldemort's plot, they also lost A competent go-getter - Sirius Black!

This is unreasonable in Mike's view. Voldemort took advantage of Harry's impulsiveness and Dumbledore's insufficient preparation to win this war.

Mike is confident that this time with his existence, the trap Voldemort set for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will become his own cage!
His Freemasonry and Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix joined forces, and there is a high probability that they can directly beat Voldemort back to the state of wandering spirit in the Ministry of Magic.

Even if it doesn't work, then you can kill all of Voldemort's Death Eaters!

Of course, this requires the cooperation of Dumbledore, and this is exactly the purpose of Mike's trip.

"Oh? What prophecy hall?"

Thinking of this, Mike looked at Dumbledore suspiciously, pretending to be ignorant.

Dumbledore in front of him was not as vague and perfunctory as Mike expected, but explained straightforwardly:

"The Hall of Prophecy, that is the place where the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic specially keeps prophecies. Voldemort's goal is a prophecy stored there."

Having said that, Dumbledore stopped here, as if he was struggling to tell Mike what happened next, but after struggling for a moment, he still said:
"I'm sure you know that it was the story of Harry defeating Voldemort 15 years ago, but it was also because of that prophecy. It was a prophecy made by Trelawney, your Divination professor. It claimed that a man was born at the end of July. The children of the children will kill Voldemort. I immediately protected Trelawney afterwards, but the general content of the prophecy was leaked out and Voldemort knew. So you should have known the following things, Voldemort broke into Harry hit, and eventually died."

"Why did he insist on getting that prophecy?"

"Who knows? Perhaps it was because he was defeated by Harry. He wanted to carefully confirm the details of the prophecy and fully grasp Harry's fate."

Dumbledore sighed deeply and said,

"Okay, I already know the matter, Mike. Go back to Hogwarts first, and pay attention to Harry's situation. If he has any dreams again, you can use this to contact me."

After speaking, Dumbledore handed Mike a small mirror.

Double-sided mirror, a set has two sides, and the matching mirror can only be used for long-distance video calls.

Mike put away the mirror expressionlessly, looked up and asked:
"What are you going to do?"

"This is not what you should..." Dumbledore suddenly noticed Mike's serious expression in the middle of his sentence, so he changed his words, "Okay, I plan to inform Fudge about this first, and ask him to strengthen his protection. Of course, There is a high probability that he will not believe me. So I will send trustworthy people to watch there, and I will go there myself if there is any trouble."

"Why don't we just steal that prophecy first?"

"Because the prophecy ball is cast with an irreversible spell, only those who are closely related to the prophecy can remove it."

"That means only Harry and Voldemort can take down that prophecy?"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said:

"What do you want to say?"

"I think this is an opportunity, Principal Dumbledore." Mike looked at Dumbledore with piercing eyes, "Harry's brain and Voldemort are connected for some reason, and they can learn about each other's thoughts. After going through a series of things, the matter is already a certainty. This means that Voldemort really wants to get that prophecy.

However, the prophecy ball can only be taken down by him or Harry, so he either goes to the prophecy hall in person, or tricks Harry to go to the prophecy hall to get the prophecy ball, and then he sends someone to snatch it.

Regardless of the option, he would have to send his Death Eaters to the Hall of Prophecy, and if the Death Eaters went against the odds, he might even do it himself.

So now that we know about this, why don't we choose to catch them by surprise in the prophecy hall? "

Mike said his plan in one breath, then stared at Dumbledore, waiting for his response.

But Dumbledore, who was opposite him, was staring at Mike in a daze. From his constantly shaking white beard and straight eyes, Mike could see that Dumbledore was already extremely surprised at this time .

After a while, Dumbledore finally recovered, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered:
"I have to say that you are really an imaginative child. But what I want to say is that although your plan looks feasible, it actually has a very fatal flaw in its implementation."
