The Great Writers of Hogwarts

Chapter 71 Can't Go Back (6K Chapter)

An hour later in the shabby house, a huge table is full of sumptuous dishes.

In the center of the table, there is a cake made in the shape of a phoenix. Many candles form the tail feathers of this phoenix, and they are burning with bright flames, making the shabby house surrounded by a warm and bright light.

Mr. Weasley paced back and forth at the gate of the yard excitedly and nervously, checking his watch after a few steps to see how long it was before the agreed party start time.

Mrs. Weasley was busy in the kitchen non-stop, directing Ron, Ginny and other children to help with work, and at the same time urging them, especially Fred and George.

"When the guests arrive, you must be polite and don't make any pranks.

Fred and George, if you play tricks at the party this time, I can assure you that you won't get any good results! "

Such a stern warning also made the children of the Weasley family look curious.

They can't remember a time when their parents took a party so seriously.

"Who are the people at the party?"

Facing the children's questions, Mrs. Weasley smiled.

"Some old friends, our best comrades-in-arms, the bravest and kindest wizards in the wizarding world.

There is no more profound friendship than us in the magic world, no more, you will know it when you see you. "

At this moment, there were several apparition explosions outside.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall took Hagrid from Hogsmeade to the outside of the shabby house.

Hagrid had carefully washed his hair and beard, and put on clean clothes.

Professor McGonagall was also like the Christmas ball, changing from his usual dull black clothes to a robe with a little pattern.

Even Dumbledore came over in a robe of lavender and silver lace!

Mr. Weasley, who had been waiting at the gate of the yard for a long time, almost jumped up excitedly. He strode towards the three people who came, and hugged them vigorously.

"I can't believe I received your message, Dumbledore. How long has it been? It's been ten years. The members of the Order of the Phoenix finally got together again."

"Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you all?"

Dumbledore smiled and greeted Mr. Weasley.

Professor McGonagall also showed a rare look of excitement, with a little blush on his face.

Hagrid had already pulled out his handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

At this moment, another figure appeared.

Remus Lupine appeared in front of the cottage.

After the war, he really wandered around.

The other members of the Order of the Phoenix had seen each other once in a while, so it was almost as if he had disappeared.

Seeing him coming, members of the Order of the Phoenix couldn't hide their excitement.

"Damn it, Lupine, do you even know how to show up?"

"Where have you been for the past ten years, I almost thought you disappeared!"

Hagrid hugged Lupine even more excitedly, almost crushing Lupine, so he had to pat Hagrid on the back hard to break free.

Then Lupine gasped and laughed.

"Me? I have traveled all over the world in the magic world, and I have been everywhere. I have seen a lot of things."

Then he turned around, looked at the cottage and Mr. Weasley and sighed.

"Arthur, it's not easy for you these years."

Mr. Weasley looked at Lupine with reddened eyes.

No matter it is not easy, the most difficult thing in the Order of the Phoenix is ​​Lupine.

I don't know how much he has suffered in the past ten years, and Mr. Weasley feels sad when he thinks about it.

He patted Lupine firmly on the shoulder.

"It's not going to be easy, but it's definitely going to get better."

He also whispered something in Lupin's ear.

"Don't worry about work. After the party, I will take you to meet someone. He must have a way."

Although Lupine didn't think there would be a place for a werewolf like himself, Mr. Weasley's words warmed his heart.

The friendship has not faded after ten years of absence. This is already an extremely rare thing in life. This makes Lu Ping, who is used to seeing the cold world for ten years, very happy.

"Let's not talk about that, it's rare to get together today, we must have a good drink."

Several people entered the shabby house together.

Mrs. Weasley also came out of the kitchen, wiping tears of joy while hugging everyone.

"Today is really a happy day, sit down, sit down."

"We have to celebrate this day."

Mrs Weasley poured a butterbeer for everyone.

At Mr. Weasley's proposal, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who hadn't seen each other for a long time toasted together and surrounded Dumbledore.

"To Dumbledore!"

Then, another cup.

"To James and Lily."

Another cup.

"To all those who died."

"Respect to the Order of the Phoenix, respect to friendship!"

The Quibbler was placed next to their seats.

Amidst their elated shouts and clinking of glasses, the countdown on "The Quibbler" was beating indifferently.

In the distance, inside St. Mungo's Hospital.

The Lovegood family is in Pandora's ward.

The reason why they chose to stay at St. Mungo's Hospital was because they all knew that when "The Quibbler" was unsealed, it would inevitably cause an uproar in the magic world.

If they were still near the shabby house at that time, maybe Dumbledore, who was so angry that he lost his mind, could really do something.

The current St. Mungo's Hospital has a large number of Auror wounded, and the Ministry of Magic also has a large number of people here to protect it. It can be said that it is one of the safest places in the entire magic world.

As long as Dumbledore still has a semblance of sanity, it is absolutely impossible to do anything in St. Mungo's Hospital.

The owl outside the window sent letter after letter, all sent by agents everywhere.

"All agents have done their part to deliver this issue of The Quibbler to all subscribers."

"The time is about the same as expected."

Andre faced the clock, counting down silently.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"zero."

"The Order of the Phoenix gathering at the Weasleys must be in full swing.

Unfortunately, "The Quibbler" has been unblocked. "

As Andre muttered to himself, he was sent to the "Quieter" in the entire magic world, and the countdown had already returned to zero.

The magic that shrouded it finally dissipated, and words poured out like fountains on the paper of "The Quibbler", arranged in lines of well-proportioned words.

……

Inside the shabby house.

The ten-year reunion of the Order of the Phoenix happened to be a time of great conversation. They hadn't reunited for ten years, and they seemed to have endless things to say.

Recalling the Hogwarts career back then, talking about so-and-so's embarrassing stories, remembering the years of fighting together, recalling a certain difficult battle with Death Eaters...

Dumbledore was quite satisfied with the atmosphere.

Ten years later, the Order of the Phoenix still has such a cohesive force.

Dumbledore was sure they would obey him, ready to deal with any threat that was to come to the wizarding world.

That's also the time to bring the conversation back to the Lovegoods and the power behind them.

Just in time, Dumbledore saw the countdown to The Quibbler end as soon as he turned his head.

He interrupted the conversation of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, letting the Quibbler fly in front of everyone.

"The Quibbler by the Lovegoods is a very interesting magazine, and Arthur's family is also helping to promote it.

This is a new issue, maybe there will be something surprising, let us all take a look. "

After Dumbledore's words, Mr. Weasley also blinked and said quite confidently.

"I assure you, I haven't even seen the contents of this issue, which will definitely be a big surprise.

Come and see, it must be very interesting. "

Then Mr. Weasley turned to The Quibbler.

When he saw the headline on the front page, he showed a surprised expression.

"A new chapter of "Harry Potter"? God, then I must read it!"

The rest of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, as well as the children of the Weasley family who didn't mix with the adults, also opened this issue of "The Quibbler" and started reading.

Mr. Weasley was the first to see the details.

It was only after reading the first paragraph, when Mrs. Dursley called Harry Potter out of the cupboard early in the morning and asked him to go to the kitchen to watch the barbecue, Mr. Weasley's expression suddenly froze.

The smile on his face faded a lot, and he sat up straight from the relaxed state, and continued to read with a rather serious expression.

Dumbledore was still unhurried, but after seeing the beginning, his expression changed suddenly, and the fingers holding "The Quibbler" became extremely hard.

The further down he looked, the more blood on Dumbledore's face faded.

Sometimes, his face turns livid.

Sometimes, he turned pale.

Facing the words on the paper, Dumbledore, who has always been far-sighted, had a rare feeling that his mind went blank, as if he had been hit by a powerful oblivion spell, so that his open lips could only touch I moved a few times, but no sound came out.

At the same time, other members of the Order of the Phoenix looked at the content of this issue of "The Quibbler", especially the questioning of Dumbledore's various practices that Andre incorporated between the lines, everyone's minds were buzzing, like a Send a bomb and explode above everyone's head!

In the shabby house that was so lively just now, the atmosphere suddenly became dead silent.

No matter how bright the light is, it seems to be shining from the ice cave, and everyone's body is chilled by the light.

Lupine's eyes seemed to be glued to The Quibbler, and his breathing was getting heavier and heavier.

In the entire shabby house, only Lupine's trembling and heavy breathing could be heard.

Then, before he was finished, Lupine slammed the Quibbler on the floor as if it were something dirty.

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

"Malicious slander from third-rate magazines, nonsense fabricated by shameless novelists, what are they going to do, arrange Harry like this?!"

Lupine walked to Mr. Weasley's seat, grabbed Mr. Weasley's collar and growled.

"Arthur, what do you mean?"

"Is this the surprise you were talking about?
What kind of surprise is this TM!
Tell me, what kind of surprise is this TM! "

His eyes were full of disappointment.

"Arthur, is this how you make a living? By selling magazines like this?"

"Are you worthy of James and Lily?!"

Mr. Weasley sat there, as if his soul had been pulled out, leaving only a shell, no matter how Lupine shook him, he didn't say a word.

Lupine turned away angrily.

He didn't participate in Harry Potter's resettlement work, and he had been wandering outside before, living in no fixed place, and he might not have access to newspapers from the wizarding world once in a month or two.

Lupine hadn't come into contact with "The Quibbler" before when it was selling well, and he hadn't seen Chapter 1 of "Harry Potter", and he didn't know that "The Quibbler" had been confirmed to be closely related to Harry Potter.

To him, it all seemed like a maliciously botched choreography.

But when he looked at the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, Lupine felt an unreasonable emotion churning in his heart.

All the members, including Dumbledore, were silent and bowed their heads.

The atmosphere was so weird that Lupine couldn't stand it.

"No, what do you mean, what is your attitude?"

"Talk, why is everyone talking, what are you thinking now!"

A ridiculous idea flitted through Lupine's mind.

"You don't think what's written here is true, do you?

I haven't seen you for ten years, you are not all so confused, are you? "

"The Quibbler is full of shit, whoever made it up should be thrown in Azkaban!"

At this time, it was the Weasley children who broke the silence.

Ginny couldn't stand someone saying that about Andre, and she cried out.

"Andre, he has seen Harry Potter, he is not lying!"

"Fred and George went too, they all saw that Harry Potter was having a bad time there!"

After saying this, Lupine kept shaking his head as if struck by lightning.

"Impossible, impossible..."

But his eyes turned to Fred and George.

These two children have realized how serious this matter is, but the fact is so, what can they do?

Fred and George nodded silently, and dragged Ginny upstairs.

Lupine suddenly seemed to have received a heavy punch, staggered back, fell on the chair and couldn't stand up for a long time.

He picked up the "The Quibbler" again, and read it from the beginning, word by word.

Every word is heartbreaking!

Like an ice pick piercing the heart, the biting coldness spread to every corner of the body along the blood vessels!
At this time, Professor McGonagall's face was completely pale.

She stood up tremblingly, her eyes fixed on Dumbledore.

The night Harry Potter was put up for adoption by the Dursleys came to mind again.

"Dumbledore, what did you tell me and Hagrid that night?"

"We objected back then. We couldn't send Harry Potter to that family for adoption. The Muggle family doesn't like wizards at all, they hate the Potter family!"

"But what did you tell us...

You said they were Harry Potter's only family, that Harry Potter would be safe there, and you would make arrangements. "

"This, is this your proper arrangement?"

Professor McGonagall's throat was hoarse with anger, and she read the contents of Chapter 2 of "Harry Potter".

"He slept in a cupboard under the stairwell, maybe because he didn't get the sun, he was much thinner than his peers."

"He's always been wearing Dudley's old clothes, which are several times bigger than his figure, making him even thinner."

"His glasses are wrapped with scotch tape around and around, and probably have to use it until it completely breaks."

"Every morning he would be woken up by Aunt Petunia to help in the kitchen.

The Dursleys scolded him at every turn, and Dudley and his cronies beat and kicked Harry frequently, and if he made a mistake, he would be locked in a cupboard and wouldn't let him out..."

Professor McGonagall couldn't read anymore, she was angry and sad, covered her face and wept bitterly, sobbing non-stop.

Hagrid couldn't take it anymore either.

"Stop it, stop it, Minerva, please stop it."

"My heart feels like a knife is stirring."

"Poor Harry, poor Harry..."

Hagrid looked at Dumbledore, wiping away tears that seemed to never dry.

"Dumbledore, say something, that this is not true.

Said Harry had a good time at the Dursleys'. "

"Say it, say it!"

Dumbledore, however, was silent.

Hagrid couldn't hold back, even he understood.

He wailed bitterly.

"How can this be? How can this be?"

"Ten years, I want to go every year for Harry's birthday, how I want to see that child, Dumbledore!
I asked you many times, I ask you every year, I miss that little guy every year, you promised me, you promised me!
You said he had a good life, you said he grew up healthy, you said he was a little man, you promised me!

You clearly told me that you didn't let me see it to ensure his safety, let me wait, let me wait, until he comes to Hogwarts...

Why is this happening! "

The Weasleys looked at the detailed description of Harry's experience in the book, their eyes were already red, and they kept wiping away tears.

They knew Harry wasn't having a good time, they had doubts before.

But this was Dumbledore's arrangement, and they told themselves that Dumbledore's arrangement must be reasonable.

Harry might have suffered a little, but with Dumbledore watching it must not have been serious.

But they didn't know what kind of life Harry Potter lived until they saw these descriptions.

A ten-year-old child, who grew up locked in a cupboard, is even used to the sight of a few spiders running out of his socks.

Ron still screamed because of the spiders, and Ginny sometimes didn't dare to sleep alone and ran into their room.

But how old has Harry been locked in a dark cupboard?

At three or four, would he not be afraid of the darkness in the cupboard?

They feel sad just thinking about it.

But they are also people who have raised children. Looking at the scene of the Dursleys in this chapter, they can't blame the Dursleys.

What can this Muggle couple do?

How could they deal with Harry's magical riots?
How to throw all the responsibility on them!
Who gave them such a heavy mess, didn't provide a little help afterward, and put their lives in danger every day?
At this time, the thorn that Dumbledore allowed to use the Lovegood family as bait some time ago also pierced deeper in his heart.

The Weasleys suddenly felt that Dumbledore seemed to have changed, and became different from what they remembered.

No, maybe it wasn't that Dumbledore had changed, but that they never knew the real Dumbledore.

Mr. Weasley looked at Dumbledore and asked with a look of strong disappointment.

"Dumbledore, can you explain what all this is all about?"

"Why did you do this to Harry?"

"It's really the same as the speculation here. You are worried that Harry has the potential to become the next Voldemort, so you use this environment to test him?"

Dumbledore was shaking at this moment.

That's exactly what he intended.

Ten years on, Harry had passed his first test, and he was indeed a good-natured boy, unlike Tom Riddle.

In the future, as long as Harry continues to pass the test of his follow-up arrangement in Hogwarts life, he will have a reliable companion and grow into a qualified savior.

At that time, Dumbledore was completely relieved, and the arrangements for Harry Potter would come to an end.

Dumbledore had arranged everything properly, but he never thought that all this would be revealed at this time.

"J.K. Rowling..."

He looked at the Harry Potter signature.

After so many years, he once again felt fear and helplessness.

He let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and leaned back on the chair as if he was exhausted, as if the questioning by members of the Order of the Phoenix was a torture for him, and all his strength was tossed away.

And this is like the judge pronounced the verdict.

Lupine let out a howl of pain.

After many years, the heart-piercing pain pierced through the heart again.

"That's James and Lily's child, they trust you so much, trust you so much!
We trust you so much again! "

"But what do you take the boy Harry for? What do you take him for?"

Lupine staggered to his feet.

For the first time in his life, he drew his wand and pointed it at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't have any intention of resisting, and sat on the chair all the time, with his eyes closed and motionless.

Lupine gritted his teeth and wanted to cast the curse several times, but in the end he just took out the token of the Order of the Phoenix from his pocket and threw it vigorously into the air. Immediately, the wand burst out one after another light at the token, As if to pour out all the emotions in Lupine's heart.

"Fractured!"

"Fractured!"

"Fractured!"

"Four points...five splits!!!"

The token of the Order of the Phoenix shattered into countless fine dust, scattered with the wind, flying to nowhere.

Even with the Restoring Charm cast by the Elder Wand, it might not be possible to mend it back.

Lupine also walked away from the shabby house following the flying dust.

After Lupin, Professor McGonagall also got up in silence.

Before going out, she waved the wand in her hand, turning the token of the Order of the Phoenix into hard iron writing.

"lie!"

Dang bang.

She threw this heavy word in front of Dumbledore, and then Professor McGonagall disappeared from everyone's sight.

After her, Hagrid stood up too.

"Dumbledore, I thank you for taking me in so that I can stay at Hogwarts as a hunting ground manager..."

"But what happened to Harry, I can't forgive.

You ruined his childhood, James and Lily's kid! "

Hagrid left the key to the hunting ground and the token of the Order of the Phoenix, which he regarded as his life, on the table in front of Dumbledore, and then left step by step.

The Weasleys watched all this happen, but felt so powerless.

"ended."

"The Order of the Phoenix is ​​over."

"There's no going back."

　I have a premonition that there will definitely be people who will complain, and there will definitely be people who will say that it has collapsed, that the plot of the original book has collapsed, how are you going to write it down?

　　Whatever you want to say, I just can't understand Dumbledore's treatment of Harry, just like I can't understand Naruto's treatment in Hokage.

　　I have never followed the line of the original novel when I write fanfic, I dare not deduce the plot, and I am afraid of collapse, so why do I write fanfic?
　　Even if the plot collapses after five chapters, I will still write like this if I am asked to choose [-] times.

　　That’s all I want to say, and I’d like to thank the readers who have followed me all the way~
