Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

Chapter 85 Sima Zhao’s Heart

"Professor Dumbledore, I would like to ask a question first. What is the approximate level of Forrest Dempsey's strength?" Moon asked doubtfully: "For example, in his heyday, he was probably as strong as you. Is it the strength that we have been facing for a while, or is it just the strength of the outstanding Aurors from the Ministry of Magic?"

Professor Dumbledore did not immediately give an affirmative answer, but after thinking for a moment, he said: "I have not met Forrest Dempsey, but in my personal opinion, he should be better than The really good Aurors in the Ministry are better, but not by much."

"That's easy to handle." Moon breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, some thoughts gradually came into his mind, "Let the Ministry of Magic send Aurors."

Professor Dumbledore's eyes showed a bit of relief, and Moon successfully captured this relief. Obviously, he seemed to have the same thought as the headmaster.

However, Moon felt that his ideas might be a little more radical than Professor Dumbledore's.Professor Dumbledore probably wanted to successfully protect Randall and his mother, and capture Forrest Dempsey back to Azkaban.But what Moon was thinking about was...

Let Forest Dempsey die.

Professor McGonagall, who had been silent since Moon's arrival, put forward a different opinion, "I think this is unlikely. With Minister Fudge's character and conduct, I am afraid that he is now sending a large number of Aurors to arrest Forrest." Dempsey, even if we suggest that Forest Dempsey is likely to come to Randall and his mother, Cornelius Fudge..."

Professor McGonagall didn't finish what she said, but everyone in the room except Randall understood it.Indeed, Cornelius Fudge is a real idiot. He always seems to like to ask for advice on this and that. But once something threatens his ministerial position or something that will seriously embarrass him, He is more stubborn than anyone else.Therefore, even if everything was explained to him clearly, he would never send an Auror to escort an elementary school student to visit his seriously ill mother.

Not to mention that this elementary school student is the son of Forrest Dempsey.

If he really brought this matter up with Fudge, Cornelius Fudge would definitely choose to stop Randall from visiting his mother, let Randall stay at Hogwarts honestly, and then let a large number of Aurors take care of St. Mungo was surrounded by water, waiting for Forrest Dempsey to fall into the trap.

Fortunately, Fudge has just taken over. If he had waited a few years, that is, starting in 95 [Note 1], Cornelius Fudge might have been able to tie up Randall and take him to the Ministry of Magic to do some superficial things. Protection is actually about fishing.

Although what Moon wants to do now is also fishing, his fishing is what Randall should do. If you want to see your mother, you can go and see it. Fudge's fishing...

Ha ha.

"It's okay, Professor McGonagall. Don't worry about the minister not listening." Moon shrugged. "There's no need for him to listen. We just have to go our own way."

"The method is very simple. We put forward the idea of ​​having some Aurors to protect Randall. If nothing else happens, the minister will only send someone to stop and keep an eye on Randall. At this time, I can ask my uncle to take the initiative Please come to Hogwarts to carry out this mission, and then give Randall a chance to sneak out."

"No, I don't agree." Professor McGonagall immediately expressed her refusal. "Randall is too young. This method is too dangerous. If you really encounter Forest Dempsey, unless the principal personally takes him Randall, otherwise no one would be sure to protect Randall well."

Moon laughed and said, "Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, the Randall who sneaks out will not be the real Randall Dempsey, but me."

The light in Professor Dumbledore's eyes suddenly stagnated for a moment. Professor Snape, who was standing nearby and looking around and eavesdropping, shook his hands slightly. Professor McGonagall was even more shocked and said loudly: "Then Even--"

"And in addition to my younger uncle following me when I sneak around, my older uncle will also protect me secretly. If the professors still feel uneasy, I can ask my older uncle to invite a few more capable friends. Together." Moon said firmly: "There must be a young wizard of similar age to replace Randall, so that he has the best chance of deceiving Forest Dempsey. Wait until everything on our side is executed smoothly From now on, a professor can quietly take Randall to St. Mungo's and wait for us to arrive. It would be best if we are attacked during this period. If we are not attacked and arrive at St. Mungo's successfully, the deal is done. There is no way Minister Fudge will send me back to Hogwarts."

"At that time, the professor can return first. It is impossible for them to allocate manpower to protect the two little wizards. They can only let us enter Randall's mother's ward. At that time, Randall can stay with his mother With me by his side, he can hesitate even if there is real danger. There are also a large number of Aurors guarding outside, and my uncle will protect him secretly, so the safety problem can be easily solved."

"So, professors, do you have any questions?"

Professor McGonagall wanted to say something else, but she still didn't seem to agree very much, but it was obvious that she also saw Moon's true thoughts, so she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Moon's thoughts have almost become Sima Zhao's heart. No one in this room except Randall can't see it.Even he himself had no hidden thoughts at all.

"Let Golov take action..." Professor Dumbledore smiled softly, but his smile was a little complicated. "Are you sure you want to do this? Moon?"

Moon nodded slightly, then looked at several professors, and then at Randall next to him who had turned from dumbfounded to a little overwhelmed. He said softly, "I think I should speak more clearly. Now tell Randall Del would be better off finding out after it happened."

The young man turned around, walked up to Randall, and said calmly and firmly: "I said before, Randall, Forest Dempsey killed an aunt who used to love me very, very much, Ola. Geller, her real name is Ola Shafiq."

"So this time, in addition to protecting you from visiting your mother in St. Mungo's, I also have a very important purpose -"

"Taking this opportunity, I will do everything possible to prevent Forrest Dempsey from being captured back to Azkaban..."

"Send him to die."

-

[Note 1] The second half of 1995 is when the story of Order of the Phoenix begins.

Chapter 86 Disputes

"I'm going to kill your father." To be honest, these words are shocking. If you say this to most normal people in this world, you will probably be scolded severely. .If you encounter someone with a bad temper, a few punches will definitely be indispensable.

Moon would tell Randall this for several main reasons.

First of all, just as he told Professor Dumbledore and the others, since he had already made this plan, he had no intention of hiding it from Randall.It's just that I will definitely say it, but if it were another person, there is actually no need to say it right here and now.The reason for telling Randall now is for two other reasons:

One is that Randall is different from others in that his emotions towards his father are very simple - hatred, fear, nothing more than this.Maybe Randall didn't dare to take action against his father or talk about fighting and killing, but if someone told him that his father was about to die, he wouldn't even feel sad, he would only feel happy and relieved. .

The other reason is that Randall is still in some condition right now, and the conversation between the three professors and Moon is too "huge" for him. He can't process it quickly and sort it out. Thoughts.Therefore, Moon would directly tell this matter and give Randall a strong dose, hoping to bring Randall back to his soul and at least give some reaction instead of being as stupid as before. Standing there stunned.

Sure enough, as soon as Moon said these words, Randall raised his head almost immediately, blinked, blinked again, and finally said, "I know."

Except for Professor Dumbledore, the other two professors all looked at Randall. The difference was that Professor Snape's eyes were slightly sarcastic, while Professor McGonagall's eyes were full of surprise.

"Then it's decided." Moon nodded slightly to Randall, and then handed the power back to Professor Dumbledore. "Professor Dumbledore, I have to trouble you to arrange the next thing."

Professor Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction and joked: "Didn't you already make good arrangements? Do you need me, an old guy, to make more arrangements?"

Moon scratched his head in embarrassment and didn't know how to answer, so he could only laugh awkwardly.Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore had no intention of embarrassing Moon. Moreover, he knew very well that there were indeed many things that needed to be arranged and coordinated by him to make them more appropriate.

"Then, Moon, Randall, go back and pack your things. After packing, Moon will come directly here, and I will help you contact your uncle. As for Randall...Severus, it's better for you to run away. One trip, Randall, Professor Snape will pick you up after you pack your things." Professor Dumbledore said as he took out a pen and paper. "I will contact the Minister, Minerva. Please help inform Pomona, maybe Moon won’t be able to attend normal classes in the next few days.”

Under the arrangement of Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Moon and the still somewhat confused Randall left the principal's office one after another. After a while, only Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape were left here. personal.

"You seem very happy." Looking at the re-closed wooden door of the office, Snape said softly, with mixed emotions in his words. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether he was making a statement or being sarcastic—— Or maybe both.

Albus Dumbledore was writing a letter to be sent to the Ministry of Magic. When he heard Snape's words, the beautiful quill in his hand paused, "I am indeed very happy, Severus, but you There seems to be some dissatisfaction.”

The silver-haired old man raised his head in surprise, "Are you competing with that child for favor?"

This seemed like a joke, but it also seemed like the old man was really questioning this.

Snape sneered, "Fighting for favor? Mr. Headmaster, when did you start using such... incredible words? Or are you so arrogant that you think what you do deserves the word 'favor'?" An argument."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and his pen dipped in ink continued to move on the paper. "You are right, Severus. I am afraid that my choice of words is a bit inappropriate. Thank you for speaking directly." Bai pointed this out. But since you are not... oh, forgive me for not being able to think of a more appropriate word for the time being - since you are not 'competing for favor', then why is there such strong dissatisfaction? "

"I have already given my reasons. It's a pity that your noble name and easy flattery over the years seem to make it easy for you to ignore these boring words." Snape's voice became calm again. "Moon Fox this year Only 12 years old.”

"Oh, Severus." Dumbledore tapped the tip of his pen lightly on the paper. "You keep talking about my noble name and flattery, but you are... enjoying some kind of freedom. What about the bigger plot? Or, after several contacts over the past year, do you still think that Moon is just an ordinary 12-year-old kid?"

As he said that, the old man actually laughed contentedly, "Severus, think about it carefully, what did you do when you were 12 years old? I dare say that what the child has shown so far is far from enough." Far from everything he is, but these alone make him better than almost all the wizards I have ever met, and even myself. The spells he played with, the progress of studying black magic, the firmness of his will, his Those things that are thinking in my little head - let alone these, even if it is just the school newspaper that already enjoys a certain reputation, how many of them can a 12-year-old little wizard come up with?"

"So you can put him in such danger and ignore it? That is Forest Dempsey, the leader of a notorious dark wizard society." Snape said this coldly, and then Then he turned around and walked straight out of the principal's office, his loose robe floating behind him like a stingray swimming through the silent deep sea.

Dumbledore watched Snape strode away, and then continued to finish the letter.

"Hey, you know he's right." A few minutes later, one of the past principals finally said on the wall: "This is too risky, Dumbledore."

"If you ask me, you underestimated him." Putting down the quill, folding the letter, and sealing it with wax, Albus Dumbledore turned his head and looked out the window, his deep eyes almost blending into the dark night. "This was not a decision made on the spur of the moment. In that case, it seems that I should give him some respect that he wants."

After saying that, he laughed inexplicably, "You should let your children have some adventure experiences. Excellent people deserve to be treated differently, rather than... just keep them in a greenhouse."

Chapter 87 Sugar-free milk

"Are you sure, Moon?"

Looking at Uncle Golov with a serious face in front of him, who seemed to be deep in thought, Moon still felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

Of course, what was ridiculous was not his Uncle Golov, but that the two of them were actually talking face to face in Professor Dumbledore's principal's office at this moment - talking about how to kill the biological father of one of his junior students.

He originally thought that Professor Dumbledore would probably think of some way for him to talk to Uncle Golov through the air. Who knew that what Professor Dumbledore meant by "contacting his uncle" was actually to contact Uncle Golov directly. come over.

"Well, I'm sure, uncle." Moon calmed down the strange thoughts in his mind and nodded, "I'm very sure, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Golov Shafik looked at Moon with a complicated expression, then at Dumbledore, and then slowly closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again and whispered: "Things like revenge...actually shouldn't have anything to do with a kid your age."

It sounded like he was talking to Moon, but in fact he was talking to Dumbledore - or complaining.

Professor Dumbledore showed a helpless expression, then looked at Moon and threw the pot completely over Moon's head.With no other choice, Moon had no choice but to accept it all, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, I want to ask you a question, how old do I have to be before I can be considered an adult who is qualified to consider revenge?"

Without waiting for Golov to answer, Munn actually did not want Golov to answer this question. He continued directly: "16 years old?? 20 years old? After graduating from Hogwarts? Or do you want to get married and have children? ? How about simply waiting until the enemy dies of old age? Then, like some incompetent people, vent their hatred on the innocent next generation? Find a duel with that stupid boy Randall? Or simply bully him on campus? "

"I don't think it's right. Since I have the ability to participate in revenge, then I should participate. Forrest Dempsey killed not only your sister, but also my aunt. She not only killed you We are related, and so are I. Now that there is such an opportunity that requires my assistance, then I should assist. Just like if one day in the future, you get old, my mother gets old too, and kill My father's man has finally been found, and given the opportunity to avenge him, am I to say that my mother is too old and should not be involved in the matter of revenge? Shouldn't she be involved in the matter of revenge? "

"I can understand your painstaking efforts, and I also know that you are worried about my safety. Please rest assured that I am not a child without any ability to protect myself. This decision is not based on emotion, but on my full judgment that I will not be harmed. My life was at stake, so I decided to get involved – believe me, uncle, I’m not kidding with my life.”

Munn spoke sincerely, but Golov suddenly pulled out his wand and cast a coma spell on Munn out of the blue.Having already experienced a crisis and having specially practiced it, Munn reacted very quickly. He quickly grabbed the wand that was always on his sleeve and used the Iron Armor Curse to block Golov's attack.

Not only that, he also counterattacked Golov with his backhand, and with a flick of his hand, an energy beam of magic energy was fired at him.

The wand in Golov's hand swiped downwards, and a dark blue magic shield suddenly opened, completely covering the energy beam of the magic energy explosion, and then completely eliminated it.Then, he nodded slightly, and without further dissuasion, he immediately made a decision, "Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Moon breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed.

Golov and Dumbledore exchanged glances, and then nodded at the same time. Golov began to contact his brother Edgar, and Professor Dumbledore also sent the previously written letter.

…………

A big net is unfolding rapidly.

Led by Edgar Shafik, several Aurors arrived at Hogwarts in the early hours of the morning, and as expected they brought the opinions of the new minister Cornelius Fudge - in order to ensure that Rand For Dempsey's safety, he should remain at Hogwarts for the time being rather than traveling to St. Mungo's to visit his critically ill mother.

Randall was temporarily protected in an empty classroom. Professor McGonagall argued hard and had a red-faced quarrel with Edgar, but Edgar looked like he was not stingy and kept saying "This is what the minister meant" ,We have no way".

Professor McGonagall, who was extremely angry, finally said, "Then I will write to the minister and ask him if it is too much to ask a child to visit his critically ill mother. Would he rather let the child visit his mother?" The Aurors are confining a child here, and they are not willing to let them escort the child to St. Mungo's." Then she walked away, looking like a heroic girl who drew her sword to help when the road was rough.

Hogwarts has countless classrooms, and these classrooms are always full of different mysteries. Some classrooms are full of hidden cells, some classrooms can change their appearance at will, some classrooms have walls and doors...

Therefore, there are naturally some classrooms that are connected to the next door.

Under Professor Dumbledore's deliberate arrangement and Edgar's deliberate cooperation, Randall was locked in such a classroom - of course this was not the real Randall. Starting from the time of Gwartz, the Randall Dempsey they saw was actually Moon (when selecting his players, Edgar specifically selected colleagues who had never met Moon and had a normal relationship with him) , the real Randall is already with Professor Snape, ready to go at any time.Moon, who was locked in the classroom, was drinking hot milk and staring at the Marauder's Map to relieve his boredom.

Now was not the time. He had to wait until dawn and all the little wizards in Hogwarts woke up.At that time, if he sneaks away again, Uncle Edgar will lead a few other Aurors to quarrel with Professor McGonagall under the pretext of searching. The quarrel will be known to everyone, and the news will spread like wildfire.

Acting requires a complete performance. No one knows how Forest Dempsey listens to the news, how to plan actions, in order to prevent his people from being among the Aurors, or whether he has a way to receive information from inside Hogwarts - - This is very likely. As long as he still wants to kill his biological son, he will definitely find a way to obtain information from inside Hogwarts - therefore, making things bigger in Hogwarts will be even more serious. It can confuse his ears and eyes, and it also confuses Fudge.

"Hiccup—" Moon shook his head, put down the empty cup, and sighed.

Unsweetened milk tastes really bad.

Chapter 88 Escape from Hogwarts

The sky gradually started to get brighter.

The little wizards at Hogwarts each climbed out of bed. Moon knocked on the milk cup in boredom, watching the students on the Marauder's Map getting up one after another from the bed, and knew that the time was almost up.

According to Munn's previous special instructions, Cedric had just gotten out of bed, and he took Yaerin and hurriedly took Munn's small bag to the third floor, which was the door of the classroom where Munn was imprisoned. ——They want to show their faces in front of Edgar, so that Edgar will know that the time is up and can go into the classroom behind him to check the situation.

Munn naturally discovered the whereabouts of Cedric and Arlin through the Marauder's Map. He secretly gave Cedric and Arlin a thumbs up in his heart, then came to the wall, groped around the side of the blackboard twice, and found He picked up the button that opened the secret door and pressed it.

The blackboard hanging on the wall suddenly disappeared after the button was pressed. Moon jumped from where the blackboard was to the next door, and pressed the button on this side again. The blackboard returned again, as if it had never disappeared.

He glanced at Cedric's position on the Marauder's Map again and estimated the time in his mind.

Less than 2 minutes later, Cedric and Arlin ran quickly through the corridor on the third floor, chasing each other. Edgar, who was standing at the door of the classroom, saw Cedric carrying his The little boy whose nephew was carrying the bag immediately understood that the time had come, and quickly raised his eyebrows and said to the colleague next to him: "It seems that it is almost time for breakfast at Hogwarts. I didn't notice it before, Terry. Go in and ask the boy if he is hungry and if you want to bring him some food."

The young wizard who was called did not hesitate. After nodding, he opened the door and walked into the classroom. But just a few seconds after entering, he shouted angrily: "Oops! That kid is missing!"

Edgar's eyes widened and he became much more serious. He immediately turned around and pushed open the classroom door. At the same time, he took out his wand and looked at the other colleagues on both sides, "What are you looking at me for?! Go in!" Help me find someone?!"

Several Aurors were speechless for a moment. If you don't speak, who knows who you want to go in to find someone and who is guarding outside?But no matter what, Edgar finally spoke. They took out their wands and poured into the classroom one after another. Edgar rolled his eyes and grabbed the last person. "Why are they all still in? Sammy, go find McGonagall." Professor, ask her to think of ways to help find her, and go quickly."

The Auror named Sammy resisted the urge to insult Edgar - there was nothing he could do about it. Although Edgar was young and junior, he had a strong backing and strong strength, and he was not low in the office. He is the person in charge of this mission.Even if I had a full stomach, I couldn't really vomit it out, so I had to go downstairs to find Professor McGonagall.

Moon took the opportunity to sneak out of the classroom next door, not forgetting to say hello to his uncle.Edgar secretly winked at Moon, and pointed in the opposite direction to Sami, and then continued to scan the surroundings with a majestic face, as if not allowing even a fly to fly away.

…………

According to the previous arrangement, Moon took his bag from Cedric who was waiting at the corner of the third floor. Both Cedric and Arlin gave him a few uneasy instructions, and he patiently responded to them one by one. , and then went straight to where uncle Golov was.Next, they will leave Hogwarts through the secret passage, and Gabriel will come forward at the right time and say that he saw a little boy from Slytherin House running out of the castle after eating in the morning, and he didn't know where he was going. .

Everything went as smoothly as planned, and Golov took Moon out of Hogwarts through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.A group of Aurors who searched to no avail learned the whereabouts of the escaped "Randall" through Gabriel's "report" to Professor McGonagall. Of course, they would not know that Moon left through the secret passage, but instead Was misled by Professor Flitwick who was guarding the gate of Hogwarts:

"Ah? I have never received a similar notice." Professor Flitwick said while presiding over several senior Ravenclaw students to carry huge wooden boxes at the gate: "The gate It's been going all morning today. The choir got a new batch of instruments. We've been moving here for a while. Students? Haven't seen them. They are still busy here. We didn't pay much attention to whether any students sneaked out. .Probably not, we children at Hogwarts are all well-behaved."

Professor Flitwick confidently said something that couldn't be more false. Of course, the lie was because "our children at Hogwarts are all well-behaved." As for what he said before about not paying attention to whether any students slipped out, that was true. Yes, there is no falsehood at all.

The Aurors had no choice but to give the professors and teachers at Hogwarts a bottle of Veritaserum or force them to accept Legilimency.If they really do this, then they won't have to go to the Auror office to work tomorrow. It may be a better choice to escape from the British wizarding world as soon as possible.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Munn created such a smoke bomb that seems to be broken by a poke, but is actually indestructible.These Aurors were unable to use forceful means to judge whether the information was true or false. In this way, Edgar was better able to give wrong instructions through layers of misdirection.

"Okay..." Edgar looked like he had a headache. He led his Auror colleagues to the side. After thinking about it, he could only say helplessly: "Let's do it this way. Let's split up. Sammy, you take two people." Stay in Hogwarts, first send a letter to the Minister to inform him that Randall has disappeared, and then continue searching in case that Randall is still on the Hogwarts campus. Remember, Don't disturb the children in class while searching. When something goes wrong, we won't be facing the wrath of the minister alone."

"Terry, you guys look for him along the road from the main entrance, and go in that direction. He is just a little wizard, and he can't disapparate, so he can't run very far. There is only one person left to follow. Let's go, let's look for him along the road in the direction of Hogsmeade. The little guy has nowhere to go after leaving the school, so he might go that way."

There was obviously nothing wrong with this arrangement, so the Aurors hurriedly took action.

At the same time, a few guys in the school newspaper office told a story that "Randall" was forced to remain under house arrest in Hogwarts and could not visit his seriously ill mother. In the end, he secretly escaped from the guard of the Aurors. , and thus spread with great fanfare in Hogwarts...

Chapter 89 Heavy Rain

"Trash! They're all trash!" In the minister's office, Cornelius Fudge was shaking with anger, and his heart felt cold.

He never imagined that he would send several Aurors to Hogwarts just to keep an eye on a little kid, only to have him run away?
