Chapter 120 Deep Love

Only a few people know that Harry disappeared in the days leading up to his birthday.As to where exactly he was, Sirius didn't ask.Anyway, from his point of view, there was no doubt that it was in Voldemort's lair.Well, that's enough for Harry to know—he trusts Harry.

Then he wrote out an outline of the whole thing, and sent separate letters to Dumbledore and Lupine.For Dumbledore's biased emphasis on Voldemort not interfering with Harry's normal decisions, and none of them should accuse Harry of that alone, while Lupine's is far more emotional, with pages of eloquence - after all He really hadn't seen James for more than ten years, and always believed that his advice killed the couple.

Before the replies to these two letters arrived, No. 12 Grimmauld Place became lively.After knowing that Harry is back here again, the Weasley children are all willing to come here for a visit.The Floo network is very convenient, and they have always had a strong interest in the Society of the Phoenix meetings. In addition, this summer vacation, there are two more people in the family, which makes them feel overwhelmed.One of them is their eldest brother Bill who was transferred from Egypt to work in the UK, and the other is the "culprit" - Beauxbaton's player in the Triwizard Tournament, Fleur Delacour.

Today, they all came again.Ginny couldn't wait to go upstairs to find Hermione (who also only came in the last few days), while the boys were in the living room.

"She said she'd have Bill teach her English, but listen to her tone!" Fred sat on a low ottoman with one foot up, but that didn't make him forget that he couldn't stay at home. Reason: "Complaining about the weather, complaining about the food, like we don't have it in the UK! So why on earth is she looking for a job here!"

"Yeah, didn't you hear, Harry, I didn't know anyone could be so picky!" George also complained. "I really don't know what Bill is interested in her." He glanced at Ron as he said, "Anyone want to talk about face?"

Ron tensed all over and shook his head desperately.He is the only one in the whole family who is still uncontrollably attracted by Fu Rong's beauty, but this does not mean that he thinks Fu Rong can be a qualified sister-in-law.

A few people were sitting spread out by the fire, and Harry had been hearing the talk of "too much phlegm" for a while.He still remembered Fleur's firmness after Bill was bitten by a werewolf, so he didn't think these problems were a big deal. "She's just a little squeamish." He tried to help Furong regain a little impression, although he thought it might be futile, "it will be fine after she gets used to it."

"Oh, I expected that, it was a long and arduous process." George pursed his lips, "I was going to say, you should be thankful we didn't tell her you were here, otherwise she would definitely bother you. Because I reckon she likes you out of all Englishmen, except Bill. But you're the only one who can say that, Harry?"

Fred agrees. "We said before we came here that you're not going to react much to this. You haven't blushed with anyone since I've known you?" he said, exchanging glances with George. "You're a nice Sir, right, Harry? And you didn't go to Hufflepuff? Of course, I'm not saying you're not a Gryffindor any more." He caught Harry's eye and hurried to make amends at the end. One sentence.

"Not so typical Gryffindor," added George nonchalantly. "You love everyone, don't you? I'd love to know what Professor Roald thinks about that." He smirked.

This expression is contagious, and the expressions on almost everyone's faces have become ambiguous.Harry didn't know why the topic turned to him so quickly, so he could only say helplessly, "Don't make this joke." Of course Voldemort knew this, and how many times they had quarreled about it.Also, who said he wasn't a typical Gryffindor?Voldemort would die laughing when he heard this.

Fred grunted in disappointment. "I think there must be a lot of little secrets between you." He asserted, "We are extremely curious, but we haven't been able to discover any of them until now-you have hidden them too well. a little bit?"

At these words, Ron began to look left and right, as if to show that he was not one of the curious crowd.It has to be said that doing this at this time is completely trying to cover up.

Here we go again, each time testing the speed at which he changes the subject... Harry j□j inwardly.There are indeed many secrets, but he feels that they are all bomb-level, not small.Because he hasn't figured out what method and attitude he will use to tell them, he can only continue to use the old method now. "Nothing." He denied, and then immediately asked: "How about the holiday? There must be a lot of customers in Diagon Alley, right?"

Fred and George graduated in the summer.Although there are only a handful of NEWTs certificates, the twins don't worry about it.Because they had developed a variety of magical and monster items before graduation, and they took over a store in Diagon Alley, Weasley's Magic Wheezes officially opened.Their product has since become a hit, and it shows in the clothes—the twins now wear dragonhide boots.

It also brings them considerable joy of success.So even though they knew that Harry was changing the subject, they still couldn't resist the temptation of this topic. "Of course, it sold out too fast, and George and I didn't have time to do it. However, we are applying for patents, and when they come down, we can expand the production line with confidence..." Fred gushed.Harry is their major shareholder, and it is only natural to discuss such issues in depth.

The topic of making money was obviously more in line with Ron's hobbies. He straightened up and joined the discussion of expanding the scope of business.So Harry succeeded again, speaking only when his advice was needed.

The four boys were talking loudly in the living room, which was what Sirius saw and listened to for a while as soon as he turned the corner of the stairs.He had no problem with Harry giving the twins all the prize money from the tournament—the Potters had no shortage of money, the Blacks had no shortage of money, and the gold ended up being Harry's.So he was very happy to see them start their own business.

But in contrast, Sirius paid more attention to other places-when George said to Harry, "In fact, you love everyone deeply".Obviously George was joking, and the other three didn't take it seriously, but his heart moved when he heard it.

Although he and Dumbledore speculate that Harry may well have returned from the future, no one but Harry himself knows what that future is.Just thinking about it will cause a deep coma, and maybe you will lose your life before you say it.This can only rely on their speculation.Who's winning?How is the situation?and after?

And when it comes to war, there is one problem that can never be avoided--death.Even if the Order of the Phoenix wins in the end, someone must have paid their lives for it.Looking back now, how would Harry feel when he saw a dead person reappear in the future?I was excited at first, but what happens after this emotion passes?Don't do anything, just watch people who are going to die die again?

Sirius couldn't help but wonder if he was also the one who died.Because he was vaguely aware of the choices he would have.If he dies, he will leave no trace in the world, such as a portrait or a ghost.And if Harry survived, what a blow it would be to him?

Thinking of this, Sirius closed his eyes forcefully.He took another look at the buzzing living room (Harry was laughing out loud at one of the twins' ideas), turned carefully and walked away.Harry tried to protect them, but it was his turn to protect Harry this time too.

Let's talk about Dumbledore.He has a lot of things to do, of course it is impossible to stay in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix all the time.So after daybreak that day, he left 12 Grimmauld Place.He was well aware of Harry's relationship with Sirius, and thought it would certainly be appropriate for Harry to stay with Sirius if he returned.And in the meantime, he's going to do something he thinks he's going to do.

For example, time magic.

This is a very profound knowledge.When Dumbledore was young, he had a wide range of interests and made great achievements in many fields, such as alchemy and dragon's blood.

But time magic is different, it is strictly controlled.There are hundreds of magical laws that restrict wizards from conducting research privately in various aspects, so as to avoid catastrophic consequences.The only officially sanctioned timers are the Time-Turner, whose use requires approval and a maximum rewind time of no more than five hours.The research in this area is still ongoing, and it belongs to the scope of work of the Department of Mysteries, and the level of confidentiality is the highest.

So logically, no one can go back years without consequences.Time travel is a very dangerous subject, and all those who ventured to try it all died miserable, even affecting other people nearby.Maybe it can be researched in the future, but Dumbledore can be sure that the current level of magic has not reached this level.

Then the problem comes.How did Harry get back?Or was that why Harry passed out when he was about to say it?

With such doubts in mind, Dumbledore quietly visited several respected old wizards, as well as several members of the Order of the Phoenix working in the Ministry of Magic.There wasn't much research in this area, and the news was quickly established—he was right.All records of time travel in history are failures, and the Ministry of Magic has not lost a single time-turner.

At the same time, no one can make a viable premise for successful time travel, no one.

Dumbledore hit the bottleneck he had guessed before.Their speculation stretches into uncharted territory, unverifiable and untouchable.Even if he spends his whole life, he may not be able to research it—if he can go back to the past without any harm, wouldn't it be equivalent to eternal life in disguise?

This enlightens Dumbledore a little.Sounds like something Tom would do, he thought, immortality or something.But then he denied his own opinion, because if Voldemort could do this by himself, what would the other party restrain him for?The battle must have started long ago.

Dumbledore thought and thought, and finally realized that this was a dead end.Unable to figure this out, he turned to another path.Because in this way, even if Voldemort, like Harry, knows something that will happen in the future, and thus has the upper hand, it does not mean the complete failure of the Order of the Phoenix.Because just as Harry was conditioned in a way, Voldemort must have been conditioned in the same way.Maybe it was that unknown force, or maybe it was... Harry.

It didn't take much time to investigate these, because there are too few materials.And after Dumbledore almost figured it out, he convened the Phoenix Council again.These included the original guys, and two new additions were Lupine and Arthur Weasley.

Lupine had read Sirius' letters before arriving, and knew more or less about the subject of the meeting, so he wasn't too surprised to see how few people there were.He sat next to Sirius, his mind running through images, from his time with Harry to his dead friends.

In contrast, Mr. Weasley was more confused.what's going on?Why does everyone have a complicated and heavy look on their faces?

Seeing that everyone was present, Dumbledore finally spoke.He had sorted out the possible sequence of events, so it started with Harry's first year.He gave what he thought to be reasonable guesses about the various oddities and unsuccessful actions since then.Some are based on Voldemort's reactions, and more are based on his generalizations from minutiae.Many of them were shocking conclusions, and some people inevitably raised objections, but they were temporarily appeased by him.

This state lasted about three hours.Eventually everyone else present understood what was going on, and the atmosphere became more and more silent.There are some details that are unclear, such as how Harry and Voldemort got started, or how the timeline is going on, but the story already has the main outline.

"So," Mr. Weasley said with difficulty, "what we knew in the first place was wrong, almost the opposite?" No wonder the Order of the Phoenix didn't catch anything against the Death Eaters - if they already knew what happened years later , so where can it be easily discovered by them? "Then isn't it more..." grim now?He couldn't go on.If Dumbledore's conjecture is true, then Voldemort's strength should be restored to seven or eighty-eight, even better than before.That also means that it will be more difficult for them to bring down the Death Eaters.

Snape said nothing.He folded his arms, his expression as gloomy as ever.If it hadn't really happened, he really couldn't believe that he had lived for five years under the eyes of a Dark Lord who knew he was a spy, and he had been completely bearded until now.This was a good thing, and he should be happy; but after thinking about what it was bought for, he was even more unhappy.

Sirius looked uglier than him.Because he still knows one thing, which is also the most important point in his opinion, that is the Horcrux.Lupine didn't know this yet, and just thought Sirius was deeply in love with him, so he patted his tense arm lightly.

"Okay, let's just pretend that we have done useless work before. No matter what, we must summarize the current situation." Kingsley pressed his temple, feeling that his mind was going to be muddled. "You know what's going on in the Ministry. If I say it, I'm not surprised that the Minister trusts them so much." In the 80s, Voldemort could coax a lot of people around, let alone now? "Compared to how many actions Voldemort has done secretly in the past few years, I want to know what the Death Eaters are going to do in the future?"

This question is on point.Because no matter when, more people pay attention to what will happen in the future.Harry and Voldemort probably had some kind of adventure and went back in time, but not everyone can do this.Of course they remember the dead, but what the living will encounter is the priority.

Under these premises, the relationship between the savior and the Dark Lord is not even eye-catching.After all, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​an organization established to resist dark wizards, not to control who the savior falls in love with-and Harry looks more sober than them, and he is no longer a child.This certainly had an impact on their plans, but the biggest impact came from Voldemort himself.

"So what do we do next?" Snape repeated.His situation is probably the most embarrassing of these people, because he is an undercover agent.If the future will be peaceful, members of the Order of the Phoenix can rest assured, but he is different.Is there any hope of returning to the Death Eaters?Or continue to be colleagues with the Dark Lord?No future is worth looking forward to...

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one could give a definite answer.Professor McGonagall looked at them, not knowing what to say.She was happy to hear, though, that Dumbledore shared her views on the normalization of Death Eater operations - Harry had played an indelible role in it. "...Maybe we can ask Harry?" Questions about what Voldemort really thought, and the accumulation of past wars.Because no matter how others question Harry's choice, in fact Harry himself is a victim and has every right to decide how to recover his share of the debt.If they know this, they pretty much know what to do.

"I object." Sirius said the first words after the meeting started, and managed to get everyone's eyes to focus on him. "Harry has done what he has to do. We can't expect him to rely on him for everything just because he knows. It will increase his pressure, and he has suffered enough." Even if they all have the belief that they must die Participating in the war is not to the point of doomed death, right?

Snape moved his lips.He wanted to say if it was true, did Harry really remember his parents, but none of those words came out, after he met Sirius' eyes.He clearly sensed that the other party knew something more hidden.This made him feel a familiar sense of resentment, resentment for his mistakes back then, and resentment for his inability to do anything now.He worked as an undercover agent to protect Lily's son; but the current situation is that they are all behind Lily's son, expecting him to shoulder the responsibility of being the savior?

"I personally wouldn't recommend it either," said Dumbledore finally, his eyes fixed on Sirius deeply. "But maybe Harry has something to say of his own."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door clicked.Everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw Harry standing at the door.He looked calm and did not hold a wand in his hand.
