HP North Star's Radiance

“He must be looking for a chance to kill me!” Winnie said in a daze. “I’d rather die than kill any good person.”

“I do not want to go back to the Dark Lord. Dumbledore wants me to go to him, but I know his men do not trust me. This is my sin. I have betrayed everyone, including myself.”

While still studying at Hogwarts, Winnie abandoned her friends and chose Voldemort as her "teacher".

Since Voldemort's death, Winnie has chosen to betray her "mentor" and side with Dumbledore.

Prim reached out and hugged Winnie, letting her bury her head in her chest: "Winnie, darling, this is absolutely not your fault. If someone leads a minor astray, the one who should be blamed is never the student."

Rather, those ambitious individuals are simply gifted with silver tongues.

Winnie wasn't the first, nor will she be the last, to be deceived by Voldemort's false blueprint.

Prarese also reached out and hugged Winnie and Ms. Priscilla, leaning against Winnie's back: "Winnie, choosing the Mysterio was not a decision you made with sufficient experience and judgment. But choosing not to kill and choosing Dumbledore was a decision you made with courage under the fear created by the Mysterio."

Even if Winnie participates in the parade, even if Winnie really goes to see Voldemort, would Voldemort forgive her so easily?

Would Voldemort so easily trust a witch who immediately sought Dumbledore's help after his death?

Prim gently patted Winnie's back: "Darling, don't be too hard on your past self. Whatever the decision, it was a choice you had no other option at the time."

Prareas also said, "Now that things have happened, all we can do is look ahead and work on them."

Prim Purnell closed the beauty salon, and she and Winnie were about to move to "Dumbledore's territory."

Ms. Priscilla is a close friend of Winnie's, and if the Death Eaters fail to capture Winnie, they will inevitably turn their attention to her.

Before leaving, Winnie gave Praris the key to the house in Black Rose Lane.

Winnie told Prarese, "Right now, only a very few people—Dumbledore, Lupin, and Black—know the address of that house. You can spend the summer there, and Prim and I will come to see you when we have the chance."

Praris didn't say anything silly like "Don't come looking for me."

She was worried about her family, but weren't they worried about Praris? Praris simply nodded and told them, "Safety first."

Black Rose Alley.

This place used to be filled with books, including Winnie's reference materials for studying ancient spells, as well as Muggle books she used to enrich her knowledge.

Now, there are some similar yet different things here.

A tall stack of "The Daily Prophet," "The Wizarding Weekly," and other gossip tabloids was piled on the small table. Each newspaper showed signs of being read and marked.

In addition, there were some unearthed magic books, a cauldron, and a pile of experimental materials.

Praris read through almost all the recent wizard newspapers.

One thing she was quite certain of was that Voldemort's resurrection had not caused any ripples in the wizarding world.

On one hand, the Ministry of Magic was unwilling to admit its incompetence. After all, Potter had clearly stated that Voldemort was resurrected by the fugitive Peter Pettigrew.

If the public carefully recalls who let Peter Pettigrew escape, then the Ministry of Magic will be held accountable.

On the other hand, Voldemort was likely intentionally controlling the Death Eaters' actions, preventing them from causing any significant acts of destruction.

This may be because his truly loyal followers are still imprisoned in Azkaban, and Voldemort has only recently been resurrected and is in the process of recovering.

However, the two sides unexpectedly reached a strange tacit agreement: to join forces to smear Potter.

Now, in the public eye, Potter is a mentally unstable, show-off "savior" boy. Cedric, on the other hand, is an innocent senior who has been deceived by him.

The most complete version is that Potter tricked Diggory into going back to school to "get help" in order to win the Triwizard Tournament.

The sincere and kind-hearted Cedric believed it all and was completely fooled, ultimately losing the championship that was almost in his grasp.

"Harry Potter had many photos taken with the fraudulent author Gilderoy Lockhart. From these photos, we can see that they once had a close teacher-student relationship. Undoubtedly, during Lockhart's time as his teacher, the boy learned his art of self-promotion."

"Porter was spoiled by honor and the admiring gaze of others, and could not tolerate a mediocre life. So, he followed Lockhart's old path."

"Just as he broke the rules to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, in order to perpetuate the reputation of the 'savior,' Harry Potter fabricated the lie of the so-called resurrection of the mysterious man, so that everyone's eyes would continue to be on him."

"In the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric Diggory was Hogwarts' representative and one of the parties involved in the resurrection incident. His father, Mr. Diggory, stated, 'My son saw nothing, yet Potter wants him to admit something.'"

"The Hufflepuff students who knew Diggory all said: No matter who you ask, you'll only get one answer. We all believe that Cedric has always been a kind, honest, and reliable friend; he would never lie."

"I boldly speculate that Harry Potter exploited Diggory's sincerity and goodwill, attempting to use Diggory's reputation to endorse the resurrection event."

"As we all know, Harry Potter's only elder now is Sirius Black, who has been imprisoned for ten years. Sirius Black's long-term disconnect from society has left Harry Potter without the upbringing of a reliable elder. The desire to be in the limelight is a thought that every young person has had, but deception is not the right path. The author and the Daily hope that Potter will turn back to the right path as soon as possible."

This is the best-selling issue of the newspaper recently, and similar articles abound. Take yesterday's same page as an example; the reporter was a supporter of the "Porter is brain-dead" theory.

On the surface, the article is trying to explain for Potter, saying that Potter did not intentionally lead people to believe in the sensational claim of "the resurrection of the Mysterious Man," but in reality, it implies from various angles that Potter has mental problems.

From the time Potter was attacked on the head by Mysterio when he was a child—leaving a lightning bolt scar on his forehead—to the rumors last year about Potter's frequent headaches, all these things prove that Potter does indeed have some mental problems.

"This is a lingering effect of Potter's war, and we shouldn't blame or ridicule him. I myself am willing to introduce Potter to a physician in the Curse Damage Department of St. Mungo's to remove the curse damage inflicted on Potter by the mysterious man."

His words were so sincere and earnest that they moved all who heard them!

One Skeeter falls, but thousands more rise to continue her great cause of spreading rumors.

12 Grimmauld Place.

"Therefore, we must guard against the Black One—who might break out of prison and release Lestrange's Death Eaters."

Moody manually reset the Evil Eye, and said in a sinister tone, "Heh, what are you trying to say... the Dark Lord?"

As soon as Moody finished speaking, several Aurors burst out laughing.

“Alright, Moody,” Dumbledore said. “Winnie is right. The Ministry of Magic and Azkaban will need your continued attention.”

After the meeting ended, Winnie, seething with anger, was the first to walk out.

She leaned against the stairs, a cigar dangling crookedly from her mouth.

Winnie hasn't smoked in a long time, but lately she's been in a bad mood too many times.

Prim fanned himself with his hand and said softly, "Are you arguing again?"

Winnie said angrily, "With the energy you have to doubt your own people, can't you use it to deal with the Dark Lord and his minions?!"

Priscilla said softly to Winnie, "Don't be angry. I made your favorite dessert—Severus. Aren't you staying for dinner today?"

Snape gave them both a cold look and strode down the stairs: "No."

After saying that, he strode towards the door.

Prim has been at 12 Grimmauld Place for about ten days now, and his main job is to do logistics with Molly Weasley.

As for Winnie? Her job is not much different from logistics.

On Voldemort's side, she gave Death Eaters a crash course in magic; on the Order of the Phoenix, she gave young wizards here a crash course in magic.

For example, the two mischievous Weasley sons kept trying to get Winnie to teach them some "exciting" spells.

Fred said, "No, no, no, it's interesting."

George said, "Like that flavor magic last time—"

Fred said, "How about turning a beverage into toilet water?"

“I will never teach you that!” Winnie refused. “Your mother would kill me!”

Besides the two of them, there was another troublesome student, Nymphadora Tonks.

The girl was a young Auror, enthusiastic and cheerful. Her only flaw was that she was too reckless and couldn't control her strength and direction.

Of course, she had far more than just these three students.

"Stuck in the mud?" Winnie's gaze shifted from the quagmire to Hermione's face, a smile spreading across her face. "A very nice spell. Who taught you that?"

Ron blurted out, "Her pen pal! What's her name—Talia!"

Ron was right next to Hermione when the letter from "Student Talia" arrived. Hermione later said that it was Spoon.

So now all three of them call her Talia.

Although Hogwarts doesn't have any students named Talia, Spoon is hardly a pleasant name to say.

Hermione blinked rapidly a few times: "...Yes, my pen pal. Do you live in the Muggle world often?"

“Yes, I used to live in central London,” Winnie said with a smile. “Hermione, you have a lot of talent. Is there anything you'd like to learn?”

George and Fred exchanged a glance: "?"

This is not fair!

In addition to teaching students, she was also responsible for the renovation, maintenance, and security of the old house.

Winnie and Sirius, who was unemployed, used their wands to clean the house, rid it of vixens, and one of them added various protective spells to every corner of the house.

If it weren't for Harry, Sirius Black wouldn't have wanted to find Winnie Brown at all, let alone have to work with her now.

Surprisingly, Miss Brown could sometimes play a very important role.

Winnie's greatest achievement during this period: using magic to remove the portrait of Mrs. Black, restoring peace and quiet to the house.

Adults and children no longer had to tiptoe through the streets, nor did they have to worry about Mrs. Black suddenly going crazy and screaming.

Black Rose Alley.

Even after reminding Winnie about Azkaban, Praris didn't stop organizing and analyzing the data.

She still had two unresolved issues.

First, if Voldemort was resurrected, how exactly was he resurrected?

If the answer to this question is not found, Voldemort may be resurrected again, endlessly and without end.

Second, what is the connection between Harry Potter and Voldemort? Potter and Voldemort are prophesied enemies and destined rivals.

More than a decade ago, only Potter could kill Voldemort; now, more than a decade later, it is Voldemort who uses Potter to resurrect himself.

Potter and Voldemort even shared the same phoenix feather core in their staffs, which led to the creation of the Flashback Curse.

When Winnie returned, she found Praris buried in a pile of books.

Winnie screamed, "Merlin, what have you done to my house?!"

Praris built a little study nest around the sofa; he would start studying when he woke up and lie down when he was sleepy.

She sat up abruptly: "My food is here?"

“Yes, your dinner is here.” Winnie rolled her eyes. “I pack you dinner every day. Blake told me to bring you over instead.”

“That won’t do. You must keep your hideout a secret.” Praris refused without hesitation. “The letter is for Dumbledore.”

"What content?" Winnie asked curiously.
