[HP] Seven Nights Talk

Chapter 77 Appearance

Facts have proved that Voldemort's preparations are well done.Because two days later, Harry saw the appointment letter of the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, and it would automatically take effect after Voldemort signed it.He felt that Dumbledore should have checked all possible leaks in the past two days, and did so until he could see no leaks at all.Of course, it was impossible to send this item directly to Privet Drive, so someone was covering up Voldemort's false identity and forwarding the item addressed to Roald to Voldemort.As for who the candidate is, there is no need to ask too much.

In normal times, Harry must have wanted to know this very much, because this is something Voldemort never told him, about the movements of the Death Eaters after they were released from prison.But now, he wanted to know something else.

Harry knew that Dumbledore didn't mean to mention this at the end, it only showed the headmaster's caution.To be honest, this fact has always been heavy in his heart.He didn't know if Voldemort knew it, but he had realized it himself, he didn't know when he had a good impression of the other party; so that when he could see a glimmer of turning around, he could no longer completely control his feelings and action.

In retrospect, it was probably a subconscious avoidance to keep myself from thinking about that possibility.This can hypnotize himself, it's just a cooperative relationship, he just can't reverse the time and space he is in, he can only make do with it.As long as they survive these seven years, they can part ways, and he can return to a normal life with his relatives and friends brought back from death, he must think so.

This idea was normal at the beginning, but for their current relationship, it is undoubtedly irresponsible.Harry felt that it was impossible for Voldemort to be completely unaware of this, but the other party never raised the question and seemed not to care at all.

He also wondered how he could move the sword hanging over their fragile relationship.He really thinks that after they finish these seven years, all these problems can be solved-he will not stop Voldemort's ambition to dominate, as long as the method is not as extreme as before; the previous regrets can be resolved, then it will be considered as the remaining There is still a problem, isn't it not a problem?He doesn't expect the solution to be perfect for everyone, but he can always try to make most people happy.

Then where else could Voldemort say such a word?

Harry had always thought that, although Voldemort didn't say exactly how, they could at least agree on this point.When Dumbledore asked those words, he was indeed expecting Voldemort's answer, and his heart beat faster with tension.After all, tacit understanding is one thing, and commitment is another.But when he heard that sentence, he realized that he was right to think so, but it didn't mean that Voldemort thought the same way.

Didn't Voldemort...

Harry stopped his own tendency to think the worst just in time.He'd thought that way enough times before, and he couldn't do it now.Instead of thinking about how bad things could get, think about making it better.

There is a price to be paid for everything, yes, Harry can also predict that there will be a great price to be paid for this matter.Time, energy, the greatest price a person can pay is life, and he has already been able to do this.Then what price will be needed, he doesn't know?

Voldemort remained silent.It's not that he hasn't said anything recently, but that he doesn't seem to have changed much from before he went, and he didn't seem particularly happy even when he got the letter of appointment, let alone Harry who didn't ask. Confuse.He seems to have forgotten that he once said that sentence, or that sentence is not a big deal at all.

Harry really hoped that his uneasiness was due to his own overthinking.Maybe Voldemort's words were simply used to fool the headmaster, but he himself thought of a strange direction inexplicably?After all, if he really said it, Voldemort's tone at that time was indeed very flat.

But it didn't last long.Because within a few days, Harry was picked up by Sirius again, bid farewell to the diet life of the Dursleys with only a quarter of a grapefruit, and also bid farewell to the possibility of being able to think about things alone for a long time.For a long time, there has not been any vicious incident against Harry (the Lockhart incident is biased as he did something stupid), this year there is the Quidditch World Cup, Sirius is full of joy, and wants to take Harry to see it Contest.But now that Harry was being watched by someone lurking in the shadows, he was determined to stay with his godson the whole time.Harry was glad he was finally letting go, because he would surely be suffocating if he couldn't go anywhere.

Knowing this, Dumbledore only asked Sirius and the Weasleys to go together so that they could take care of each other.From Harry's point of view, this was the most lenient requirement.However, the Order of the Phoenix would still send people to attend just in case - if those escaped Death Eaters were not caught, they would not be able to relax for a day, let alone such a large-scale event.

In addition, Sirius also bought tickets for Hermione and invited her to watch the game together.The cloud over Harry's heart finally dissipated, and he began to look forward to the exciting and grand scene.Even if the fun of enjoying it again is not as good as the first time, it is still a brand new experience to watch it with the godfather this time.In any case, it is better to divert attention and do other things than to think about something.

Of course, Harry also hadn't forgotten to hold his own holly wand close at all times.He swears, if the ring doesn't come, forget it, and if it comes, it will definitely make it come and go-in this way, there is one less obstacle on the road ahead of them, isn't it?

The process of getting to the venue of the Quidditch match was very safe without any accidents.Harry was used to the Portkey by now, and it landed securely, finally not letting Amos Diggory, who had arrived before them, see the joke.Although he still complained about Harry's victory over Cedric in the Quidditch final, Harry only felt a little familiar and friendly when he saw him, and so did Cedric.What was this secretly belittling him now, compared to the way he saw Cedric die before his eyes and Amos weeping over the death of his son?

However, Sirius was very unhappy about this.In his eyes, Harry was the best.As a result, the two fathers, who were eager to love their children, quarreled fiercely, and no one would let the other go.Harry and Cedric stood aside, there was no way to pull them away, they could only exchange helpless and sympathetic looks.

But before they really fought, they finally arrived at the place where the tent was stationed, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The Blacks' tent was next door to the Weasleys' tent, and Diggory's was further away.Watching Digory and his son leave, Sirius was still angry, and took the lead into his tent.

"I've seen this time, it's not just women who argue nonstop and pointlessly." Ron whispered to Harry, watching his back.

"What does this have to do with women?" Hermione glared at him, and then commented bitterly: "You seem to be growing old in vain, and you seem to be younger than us. However, Sirius is also good to Harry... Forget it , I'd better go in and see if he can help you." She shook her head helplessly, and also got into the tent.Sirius had invited her to come, and of course she lived in the Blacks' tent - there was no shortage of her own room in it.

Harry thought so too.Along the way just now, Sirius was so full of poisonous tongue that he almost thought he had returned to his father's time at Hogwarts.He had never known that Sirius would do this before, and the actual feeling was that it was a little funny and a little helpless, but more of a touch. "I hope we don't sit with Cedric and the others during the game." He shrugged.

"Otherwise they'd be thrown out by the fans," Ron added wisely.At this time, Mrs. Weasley's voice came from inside, asking the children to fetch water, and he waved to Harry, "See you later."

The Blacks had house-elves, and the chances of them being really useful were rare, so both Hermione and Harry ended up helping out in the Weasleys' tent.Together they fetched water and then did some chores.By the time it was almost finished, the sun was already setting.

For the rest of the day before the game, Sirius took them out, shopping for souvenirs on carts that flowed between the tents.Harry was past the football-worshipping age and wanted nothing, so Sirius bought them both a panoramic telescope.

Seeing that the time was about the same, the four of them started to walk back, preparing to meet up with other people in the tent, and then enter the arena.When they were approaching, Harry saw the twin brothers talking to a big man on the side of the road, acting furtively.He knew that this was Ludo Bagman's opening in secret, and thinking of the final result of a total loss, he deliberately raised his voice and shouted: "George! Fred!"

The sound caught Sirius' attention.He turned his head, just in time to see Bagman stuffing something into his arms in a panic, his brows wrinkled involuntarily. "What are you doing?"

Sirius can also be regarded as a frequent visitor to the Weasley family, and he is very familiar with the Weasleys.The twin brothers didn't dare to let him know that they were going to gamble, and said in unison: "Nothing!"

"Then let's go, Mom and the others must be waiting." Ron was looking forward to the game now, and couldn't wait to get on the field.

But the twins haven't completely given up on their idea.If you miss the opportunity to bet now, it will be even more troublesome to wait.And just as they hesitated to find a reason, a cold voice sounded: "Get out of the way, you are in the way."

A group of people immediately turned their heads.Harry could guess it was Mr. Malfoy just by the tone of voice, and it was him.The latter also had a cold expression on his face, and a pair of gray eyes seemed to always look down at people from above.

"Then I'm afraid you don't have eyes." Sirius' anger was immediately provoked. "Can't you see the road next to you?" He knew Lucius Malfoy—he was much older than him, and when he was in the first grade at Hogwarts, he was in the seventh grade, and the whole school looked so proud. They knew each other; later they joined the Order of the Phoenix together, and the other party was already a Death Eater—if not as annoying as Snape, he didn't like him at all.

Mr. Malfoy's icy gray eyes flicked across his face, past Ron and Hermione, and then took a second look at Harry.There must have been unabashed disgust, Harry felt; and there might have been subtle other emotions that he hadn't quite caught.In the end, Mr. Malfoy turned his eyes and saw Bagman and the twin brothers. The corner of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc: "Is there no money to spend again, Mr. Director? Let me tell you, your eyes are not very good this time. Everyone knows those redheads can't even afford to raise children."

Bagman's ruddy face was almost bleeding.The twin brothers and Ron both jumped up immediately and roared, "What are you talking about!"

Sirius was quicker than they could react, his hands already in the pockets of his robes.But before he actually jjj wand, Harry and Hermione held him by the side. "No," said Hermione nervously, "there are people around, it's going to be a bad fight."

This is true.Obviously, if they do it first, they will be held accountable for what goes wrong when the time comes.Harry felt that the other party was provocative because they saw that they could not do anything at will.He couldn't believe that Mr. Malfoy would put himself in the same situation after his fight with Mr. Weasley once.Now, Mr. Malfoy seemed to be enjoying their wrath, but his knuckles protruded slightly from his sleeves, and his wand was clearly gripped inside.

Bagman finally came back to his senses at this time.It's just that although he is the director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, most of the reason is because he plays Quidditch well, but his character and attitude are not very good.He knew Mr. Malfoy couldn't afford to offend him, and he just wanted to get away without attracting attention.

"Let me go! Let this guy apologize!" Sirius tried to break free, but he obviously didn't listen to Hermione's words and struggled hard.Just when Harry was about to point out Mr. Malfoy's trap to calm him down, a new voice rang out: "What are you all doing here?"

Someone strode over from the front and stretched out his hand to part the gradually gathering crowd.He was a tall man with curly gray hair and eyes as sharp as a falcon.He saw the person who was retreating at a glance, and called out: "Ludo, what are you doing here? The minister has been looking for you for a long time, and the Minister of Magic of Bulgaria."

"Ah, Boggs, I..." Bagman laughed dryly.Of course he couldn't say that he wasn't doing his job, but was trying to earn extra money. "I see, I'll go right away."

He wanted to slip away as he said that, but the man he called Boggs added behind his back: "I will go to the minister later."

Bagman froze instantly.His luck is too bad today, it's okay to meet a colleague from the Ministry of Magic, let him meet the most difficult guy!He turned a direction at his feet and left reluctantly.

Only then did the gray-haired man notice the appearance of the others present.His gaze quickly turned around, and finally settled on Mr. Malfoy's face. "Looks like you're in a good mood today. Don't you, Lucius?"

Mr. Malfoy's already pale face became even paler, but he still insisted, "As you can see."

Sirius and the three Weasleys were furious, and they stared at Malfoy for a moment. Of course, they also noticed the change in his face, and couldn't help being a little surprised.It seems that this new man is also in the Ministry of Magic, and his position is probably not low, or he is very prestigious, otherwise Malfoy would not have reacted like this.

The children had already heard this, and felt a little hesitant.It wouldn't do their father, who worked in the Ministry, any good if they made too much noise, and their mother would definitely have to teach them a lesson.And Sirius calmed down the burst of anger, looked away from Mr. Malfoy, and finally matched a name with this person: "... Boggs? Are you the new director run by Auror?"

As soon as these words came out, the children gasped.That would explain Mr. Malfoy's reaction quite well - an Auror and a Death Eater!

"I am." The man said succinctly, looking back and forth between them. "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."

Sirius gave him another look.Boggs Chester is the fastest-rising celebrity in the Ministry of Magic in recent years. He is very good at catching dark wizards and has won Fudge's trust.If the former point seemed like a person who could join the Order of the Phoenix, the latter point completely cut off this possibility, so he had only heard of the existence of this person before, and had not seen it with his own eyes.Does the other party mean to make big things into small things now... He pondered and didn't speak.

A shrewd Slytherin, Harry, who had been silent all this time, flashed such a sentence in his mind.Just now this person obviously came over when he saw that they were about to have a conflict, but now he said he was sorry for interrupting their communication?It's exactly the same as Voldemort sometimes... He just thought of this when he heard the familiar voice say, "Are you alright, Boggs?"

Harry's heart almost jumped out, and he hurriedly looked around for the source of the sound.He remembered that he put the gold cup in the tent when he was helping the Weasleys, but now...the other party ran out by himself?When did this happen?

Voldemort stepped forward from behind the crowd, meeting Harry's shocked look.He responded with an almost invisible smile, and continued, "Troublesome?"

"No, it's all right," Boggs replied quickly.

Harry noticed that if Boggs had a stern face when facing Bagman and Malfoy, then his tone and expression in answering now could be called respectful, and he was almost apologetic.This guy knew Voldemort?Add to that attitude... which Death Eater?Maybe some escaped Death Eater?But he'd never heard of a Death Eater named Boggs...

Wait!It turned out that the reason why the Order of the Phoenix couldn't find Death Eaters was here!They all got a makeover!Harry's eyes widened suddenly, and he realized a very important question-is there anything wrong with this matter?A Death Eater to head the Auror Office?

"Let's go, then, time is running out," said Voldemort.He cast a rather intriguing glance at Mr Malfoy, content to see him almost trembling like an autumn leaf in the wind.Then he turned away, seemingly seeing only Boggs the whole time.And Boggs followed immediately, and he didn't forget to give Malfoy a last look before leaving, which was not friendly by any means.

With such a stir, the tense atmosphere just now almost disappeared.Sirius also wanted Malfoy to apologize, but the latter didn't even look at them, and walked away quickly with a white face.The twin brothers spat at his back, the sound was really loud, but he didn't seem to hear it either.

When he was far away, Fred said thoughtfully, "Oh, I remember, I heard Dad say about this Boggs. He does seem to have two hands, doesn't he?"

The others nodded in agreement.It seems that Malfoy can be frightened by just one face, so there are more than two hands!Then Hermione asked, "Who was that guy after? Was it also from the Ministry of Magic?"

George shrugged. "I don't know, but I don't think so. This guy looks quite young, and he is so handsome. If he is still working in the Ministry of Magic, it is impossible for Percy not to mention it." Things are done with great enthusiasm, even if he is only a small assistant.

Ron agreed, though Sirius' brow remained furrowed.The children probably didn't notice the hidden deference, but he did.This is a bit strange to say, obviously it seems that Boggs is bigger and has a higher position, right?And speaking of it, it seems that Malfoy is more afraid of the third person?It's not a general fear... You know, Malfoy was able to say in the trial court that he was completely deceived and bewitched to join the Death Eaters.With such a thick skin, what else could he be afraid of?

Sirius found that he didn't quite understand the relationship between these three people, so he planned to go back and ask other people. "Let's go, Arthur and the others are in a hurry."

So everyone stopped the discussion and started walking towards the tent.Harry couldn't help but glanced at the direction where Voldemort left just now. There was a rush of people there, and no one was there.Voldemort seemed determined to make a high-profile appearance...but why?

The author has something to say: Author's Note: According to HarryPotterWiki, Father L was born in 1954 with an unknown month; Sirius was born in 1959; James, Lily, Lupine, and Snape were all born in early 1960.So if father L was born in the first half of the year, then they are the difference between the first grade and the seventh grade; if it is in the second half of the year, it is the difference between the first grade and the sixth grade.
