I swung a sword at Hogwarts

"This is a talent."

In John's opinion, this person was a perfect scapegoat.

Given Umbridge's desire for control, even Dumbledore probably couldn't stand it.

For such a person, even if Dumbledore couldn't stand it and killed him, John would only applaud.

Since we've given Voldemort a gift, let's give Dumbledore one too.

With a snap of his fingers, John was about to find old Batty.

Then Riddle, a black long-eared owl, flew over and brought an envelope.

...

Chapter 268 Tom's Teeth and Bleeding

The letter came at a very opportune moment and seemed to have been carefully selected, with some subtlety in it.

Few people know that Riddle likes the smell of lavender.

As Johnny Silverhand's personal courier, Riddle is able to gain a lot of attention.

And in Silver Hand Manor, the original rose garden was flattened by John and replanted with lavender.

Those lavender seeds were specially sent by Pierce.

Riddle usually liked to stay there, and he naturally smelled of lavender.

The letter was deliberately scented with lavender, and when Riddle brought it, he placed the envelope on top.

John opened the letter and glanced at it. He laughed dumbly, rubbed Riddle's head, and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot of benefits."

Riddle closed his eyes comfortably and made a snoring sound from his mouth.

Tang Mi asked curiously, "Sir, what did you write?"

John held the envelope between his fingers and said with a joking smile, "Umbridge volunteered herself and hoped that I could recommend her to old Barty."

What a coincidence.

He wanted to push Umbridge into the fire pit, but Umbridge came over by herself.

She was so humble that she almost begged John to recommend her.

As an official of the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge used to be in the same party as Fudge.

With Fudge's departure, she became less valued.

Batty Sr.'s coming to power made her feel extremely anxious, fearing that she would become the next victim of Batty Sr.'s attack.

Everyone in the Ministry of Magic knows that old Barty's promotion to power is closely related to Johnny Silverhand.

The most intuitive example is Scrimgeour, the former head of the Auror Office. He was originally in a department that was not valued, and now he has been directly demoted to the Centaur Office.

No centaurs would use this service, and if anyone at the Ministry was assigned to this department, they would be close to being fired.

It is really sad that someone who was once only one step away from becoming the Minister of Magic has ended up like this.

In order to avoid being fired, Umbridge spent a lot of money and finally got a chance from Pierce.

This carefully prepared letter was written after her investigation.

Knowing that Johnny Silverhand didn't like long-winded talk and flattery, she directly explained the pros and cons and said that she would be Johnny Silverhand's most loyal friend.

"Interesting, she's a little bit thoughtful."

I guess Umbridge thought I liked lavender, so she did something tricky, and it turned out to be the right thing to do.

John touched Riddle's round belly, and there was no telling how much dried fish he had eaten.

He casually handed the letter to Tang Mi.

Thinking that this was written by Umbridge, Tang Mi took it with a gloomy face.

"Pierce was smart not to take matters into his own hands."

Although a channel was provided to Umbridge, Pierce had already sent a letter explaining his fault before John expressed his position.

He said sincerely that if John didn't like Umbridge, he would drive her away.

John asked Donmi to reply to Pierce and tell him he did a good job.

Umbridge must be given this offensive position.

The Ministry of Magic needs someone to play the good cop as well as the bad cop.

All the good reputations were given to Oz as the basis for future promotions, and the bad reputations were given to Umbridge, since she couldn't be any worse anyway.

After the decision was made, John met with Barty Sr. to finalize the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the position of Senior Inquisitor at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore would make concessions after August 8. He would have to do so as long as he wanted to train Harry.

After finalizing the details, John took off his mask and returned to Privet Drive.

Here he saw Tom standing at the door with a proud look on his face.

Tom wagged his tail with joy when he saw John come back.

"You bit someone?"

Tom is found with blood in his mouth and a torn piece of it is found on the grass.

"A common material for Fengya brand wizard robes."

John's face turned slightly cold when he recognized it as a wizard's robe.

Heading to the basement, he checks out the magic.

After reading it, he looked strange.

In the picture on the table, Tom is extremely brave, chasing and biting several wizards.

Lupin wanted to step forward to stop them, but Tom warned him with a low growl.

It’s not that no one wanted to use magic. A square-jawed wizard was about to use magic, but was interrupted by Lupin and Moody.

"Don't use magic on dogs!" Moody roared, scaring the wizard.

The young witch Tonks asked in confusion: "What kind of accident is this?"

Lupin jumped, dodged Tom's mouth, and said with a wry smile: "This is John Wick's dog. Sirius and John have met it before."

It was a bad memory, and even now, Sirius could be seen touching and rubbing his left rib occasionally.

"In any case, no one should use magic on dogs!" Moody was originally lame and the slowest one.

Tom bit down on the wooden leg, and with a crack, several pieces of wood flew off the wooden leg, causing Moody to exclaim.

"What kind of dog is this? Its bite force is so strong!"

Harry was not bitten yet. He used the Disillusionment Charm. Tom could not see him, but he could smell him. He was sweating profusely and shouted in panic, "How do we leave?"

"Get off the lawn. There's magic here and you can't fly."

Lupin was the last one to leave, and several wizards crawled off the lawn.

The square-jawed wizard walked slowly and was bitten on the calf by Tom, causing him to cry out in pain.

It was Lupin who went up and pulled it apart.

It was only a bite, but the leg was soon covered in blood.

They left in a hurry and didn't notice it for the time being.

John saw all this and found it very funny.

"Legendary Auror and former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, being chased by a dog like you."

He shook his head and smiled, then opened Tom's mouth and looked at the canine teeth that were glowing coldly. He said with satisfaction, "It seems that the experiments I have done during this period have not been in vain. Your teeth are quite compatible with werewolf teeth."

Tom now is not the same dog as before. Ever since he created the Scimitar-Horned Snorkle, John began to try to enchant animals.

Logically speaking, ordinary animals do not have the magical compatibility of magical animals, so it is basically impossible to enchant them successfully.

But John is a master of alchemy, so he used magical biological materials to modify Tom's teeth.

He succeeded, creating a container for Tom to hold magic power, but it also created some kind of toxicity.

The square-jawed wizard was lucky, for if it had been a little later, John might have enchanted Tom with the basilisk tooth.

By then, everyone will call him a wizard.

After patting Tom's dog's head, John turned his attention back to the group of wizards.

"Since Lupin and Moody are here, they are most likely members of the Order of the Phoenix. Are they here to take Harry away?"

Considering that Harry had the Invisibility Cloak, John wasn't surprised that he didn't see Harry.

From this lineup, we can only say that the Order of the Phoenix attaches great importance to Harry.

"Order of the Phoenix? I hope I can succeed." He picked up the fragment, which was stained with the blood of the square-jawed wizard.

John held the fragment in his right hand, and his left hand fell a foot above his right hand.

"Blood trail."

The blood on the broken steps condensed and floated, gradually turning into an arrow in the air.

A red thread extended out in the void and was about to touch the arrow.

The next second, John frowned, and his blood evaporated with white smoke as if the magic power was sucked out.

"It's protected by magic."

The owner of the blood was in a place similar to a safe house. John had just found the location somehow, but it was quickly erased.

He wanted to remember, but he couldn't.

"The Fidelius Curse?" John frowned, already having the answer in his mind.

He didn't expect Dumbledore to act so quickly and have already found a base.

I was originally thinking of finding an opportunity to locate the Order of the Phoenix so that it would be easier to plan in the future.

Now it seems that I thought too simply.

...

After some twists and turns, Harry finally arrived at his destination.

To his surprise, this was not the Burrow.

Moody told him that he could not go to the Burrow because it was too unsafe.

Moody used the Deluminator borrowed from Dumbledore to turn off all the lights around him.

He held Harry's arm, while Lupin and Tonks followed behind carrying Harry's box, and the others took out their wands and covered them on both sides.

With such a grand procession, it would probably take Voldemort himself to kill Harry.

"Here it is," said Moody gruffly, handing Harry a piece of parchment.

Harry looked down at the parchment. The long, thin handwriting on it seemed familiar to him somewhere. It said: The Order of the Phoenix Headquarters is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

He asked curiously: "What is a phoenix..."

"Don't talk about that here!" Moody snapped. "Wait until we get inside."

He was alert to his surroundings, fearing that a Death Eater would appear and cast a Killing Curse on Harry.

Seeing that Harry had memorized it, he pulled out the parchment and burned it.

They were right in front of number 11 Grimmauld Place, but oddly enough, to the left was number 10, but to the right was number 13.

This struck Harry as odd; there was no number 12.

"Think about what you just memorized," Lupin would remind him, as always, just like when he was teaching at Hogwarts.

Harry thought carefully about what he had just said, and everything in front of him changed.

A tattered door suddenly appeared between No. 11 and No. 13. Its dirty walls and gloomy windows looked out of place with the surroundings.

It was like a house suddenly expanded and pushed the houses on both sides away.
