Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 531: The Story of Caradoc Dearborn

Why Ryan values ​​Harry and the others.

He didn't want Penelope and the others to know this reason.

Or he didn't want anyone to know.

He might never tell him that he was a time traveler.

Perhaps only thousands of years later will he be unable to hold back and tell others.

As he thought about it, Ryan's eyes focused on the Daily Prophet.

Thousands of miles away, outside the village of Autery St. Catchpole, in the Burrow, the protagonist of Ryan and his friends' topic, Harry Potter, was also looking at the Daily Prophet.

"Is this the list of members of the Order of the Phoenix? Why is my father's name not on it?" Ron suddenly asked.

"you do not know?
This is the list when the Order of the Phoenix was first established. At that time, Mr. Weasley did not join the Order of the Phoenix because of you.

Although the Order of the Phoenix is ​​a secret organization.

But for the Death Eaters.

It was high profile at the time - meant to attract the attention of the Death Eaters.

The first generation members of the Order of the Phoenix either came from prominent families (the Bones and McKinnon families were the most powerful families in the wizarding world at the time).

Either work at Hogwarts, by Dumbledore's side (which is safer).

Others have special identities that make it easier to contact other forces (Lupin - werewolf, Mundungus - gray forces).

Others are frontline personnel who are in danger (such as Neville’s parents, Moody).

Or have no attachments (no living family, like Dearborn).

People like your parents, Harry, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew are exceptions.

In fact, it can be seen from the initial composition of the members of the Order of the Phoenix that they were not candidate members from the beginning.

They all joined at the strong request of your father and Sirius.

At the time, my father and the others had no idea that they would openly join the Order of the Phoenix.

They have obvious weaknesses.

It's not that frontline personnel like Aurors are at risk themselves.

They could obviously be like Mr. Weasley, without being a member of the Order of the Phoenix, but still do the same things as members of the Order of the Phoenix.

This is more sensible.

As they are pure-bloods, they will not be targeted by Death Eaters.

I think—" Draco began to trail off.

"Think my dad and Sirius are fools, don't you?

They do.

Sirius told me that they were very enthusiastic at that time.

Sirius Black implicated his family who were on the Death Eater side.

My dad forgot that my mom had Muggle relatives.

They also didn't care that Peter Pettigrew had an elderly mother.

They could have joined the Order of the Phoenix without being open about it, saying one thing and doing another.

This is how purebloods have always developed.

By the end of the war, it won't be too late for them to reveal their membership of the Order of the Phoenix." Harry sighed.

The others looked worried.

"Let's continue reading the Daily Prophet." Harry looked at the newspaper.

[Albus Dumbledore: "I still remember it, it was 1956, the year when Headmaster Armando Dippet left office.

I was still the professor of Transfiguration at that time.

I met Caradoc in my first year Transfiguration class.

He is an orphan, speaks Parseltongue, is extremely talented, and has a unique understanding of magic. His characteristics remind me of another person I don't want to mention.

Fortunately, as a Gryffindor, he is brave, kind, and willing to stand up for the weak.

So, even after half a year, when I became the principal, I was still willing to teach this poor child magic in private to prevent him from going astray like the other person.

In 1970, I founded a secret organization - The Order of the Phoenix.

The kid joined it despite my objections.

But apparently, a secret organization is not a secret at all to its enemies.

Soon after its founding, he disappeared.

Many people say that he may have relied on his Parseltongue and blood relationship to join the person I don’t want to mention - Voldemort.

He did not appear after Voldemort's defeat because he fled Britain.

Or after being killed, it was not made public for the sake of my reputation.

But I know this kid isn't like that.

But I hope it's just like the previous groundless suspicion.

This way at least he's still alive.

This morning, I finally got news from him.

Once again, I hated my keen intuition.

He certainly didn't betray.

Guarded the secrets of the Order until his death."

Alastor Moody: "I still remember Caradoc.

Everyone knows that I am a suspicious and annoying person.

You can imagine how I would react when I met someone who had been hiding an unknown talent (Parseltongue) and hadn't revealed it until graduation.

I have always acted as a monitor for him.

I investigated him and followed him.

Suspected that he was a spy for Voldemort.

Even after I had revealed almost every piece of his miserable childhood to him, covered in blood, he was still smiling.

I still remember that smile, it was so sunny and so innocent.

I still remember his words: 'Does Mr. Moody believe me now? Great, I have long wanted to be friends with you.'

Everyone knows what happened later.

After he mysteriously disappeared.

The Order of the Phoenix began to leak information continuously.

Many people said that he betrayed.

But none of us in the Order of the Phoenix believed it.

Later, everyone found out it was Sirius.

Recently, the verdict was overturned and it was revealed that the man was actually Peter Pettigrew.

Someone with obvious weaknesses who shouldn't have joined us in the first place.

Today, I can finally take him home."

Minerva McGonagall: "Though I didn't realize he was a Parseltongue until today.

But I'm pretty sure he's a nice little guy.

It doesn't matter whether he knows the victim or not.

Whenever he knew of an injustice, he was always the first to speak out.”

】

“Well, he’s a really nice guy.

But why haven't we heard about him before?" After reading the entire Daily Prophet, Ron was very confused.
