Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

He stared at the white grave that suddenly appeared, his face curled into a ball, as if the sun was blinding his eyes...

Gabriel's face was covered with bright tears, but Hermione stopped crying. She met Ivan's gaze with a resolute and enthusiastic expression.

"Hermione, I have something to tell you..." Facing Hermione's eyes, Ivan said in a very soft voice, "Harry and I have discussed it, and the next adventure must be done by the two of us." Done, you and Elaine..."

"Of course we will follow you, no matter what the danger is." Hermione paused and asked back, "Ivan, you don't mean to leave me behind, do you? Do you think our announcement has nothing to do with you and Harry? Will Voldemort let us go? In fact, when you discussed with Harry, several of us also discussed it. Me, Elaine, Ginny, Gabriel, and Ron, we don't care about the danger at all. It's not an adventure for the two of you, we all have to fight."

"But……"

"No matter what happens, I will be by your side." Hermione said firmly, and suddenly hugged Ivan tightly.

Ivan's body tensed up suddenly, and then relaxed again. He sighed softly, and hugged Hermione for a while.

After a long silence, Hermione lay on Ivan and whispered in his ear, "Don't leave me, Ivan, I will go with you, I have already considered it!"

"Hmm." Ivan hummed, he knew that it was really impossible to leave Hermione alone.

Before, he only thought of danger, in order to protect the safety of Hermione and others, but he didn't consider their feelings.

Hermione isn't just someone in need of protection either, she can be of great help.

"Ivan, Harry!"

Ivan let go of Hermione, turned around, and saw Rufus Scrimgeour limping around the lakeshore on crutches.

"Alvin, Harry, you two are here, and I've been wanting to talk to you for a while. Speaking of which, it's such a terrible tragedy that I'm shocked beyond words. Alas, Dumbledore Lido is a very great wizard. We have some differences, you know, but no one knows him better than I do..."

"What do you want?" Harry asked bluntly, interrupting Scrimgeour impatiently.

Scrimgeour seemed annoyed, but he quickly adjusted his facial expression to one of sadness and understanding, as before.

"I understand, Harry, you must be in a lot of pain right now," he said. "I know you are very close to Dumbledore, and I think you are probably his favorite student in his life. The relationship between the two of you is so... "

"What do you want?" Harry asked impatiently again.

Scrimgeour listened, his body leaning on his crutches, his eyes fixed on Harry, his expression becoming stern.

But soon, he regained his previous sad expression, and turned his gaze to Ivan.

"I have something to say to you two alone, come with me for a walk, you two don't object?"

"Sorry, Mr. Minister, all the things we can tell the Ministry have been conveyed to you by Sirius." Ivan said, "If you are the same as the conversation at Christmas, you want us to publicly express our support for the work of the Ministry of Magic." , Tell people that you are doing a good job, if the magic world is safe now, we have no way to cooperate. In fact, the magic world is not safe now, we can't control the situation, the war has begun..."

"I don't deny the war, but the situation is not as bad as you think, we will win, you..."

"We're Dumbledore's through and through, all the way through," interrupted Harry, interrupting Scrimgeour again. "That's what we're going to tell you."

Scrimgeour stared at Ivan and Harry fiercely for a long time, with a stern expression on his face.

Then Sirius walked this way too.Seeing him, Scrimgeour turned without a word, and limped away.

Not far away, Percy and the rest of the Ministry delegation were waiting for him, and they looked worriedly at Hagrid and Grapp, who were still sitting there crying...

Chapter 1532 The Rise of the Dark Lord

"Ivan, is that your Minister of Magic?" Gabriel asked, looking at Scrimgeour's back, "You and Harry rejected him just now?!"

"Well, I can't say it's a refusal, it's just that we have different positions! Just like trains on different tracks, our positions are destined to be different from Scrimgeour's." Ivan replied, rubbing Gabriel's head.

Gabriel nodded half-understood, not sure if she understood.

"I think he's a nuisance!" said Ginny. "He just wants to use you and Harry."

"He's not a good guy anyway!" Elaine nodded in agreement, "He's not good to us either, restricting the area where vampires can move..."

"Look, I'm sure to give Percy a good beating when I get back," said Ron loudly, too.

"Forget it," Hermione said, "Many of the Ministry of Magic's practices are really unpopular, but they are fighting Voldemort, it is undeniable, and we are not the enemy."

At least not right now, but it won't be that way for long.

Confronting Voldemort head-on, the Ministry won't last long...

At this time, Sirius came over and asked, "What does Scrimgeour want to do?"

"As before, he wants us to reveal inside information about Dumbledore to him, and let Ivan and I act as the new ambassadors of the Ministry of Magic to deceive others." Harry said.

"We refused, and he didn't look very happy." Ivan continued, "The bad thing is that Scrimgeour doesn't seem willing to admit the current bad situation, and he doesn't want to cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix against Voldemort in the way we recognize. The position of the Ministry of Magic means that they can only choose to fight head-on, and then destroy."

"Alas, Scrimgeour is a competent Auror, but he is not a sensible Minister for Magic." Sirius was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "The school board's reply came back, and after Scrimgeour's intervention Now, they don't intend to close Hogwarts, but I doubt how many students will be willing to come back next term, even if there are more guards protecting the place, it will still be very dangerous here."

"But it's more dangerous at home, isn't it? It's the same everywhere now."

"I actually think that if Harry and I don't return to Hogwarts, Voldemort won't do anything to other students for the time being," Ivan said.

Voldemort's purpose was to rule, not to kill all wizards, and the students were no threat.

What's more, the significance of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is extraordinary, and Voldemort will probably use it as a base to train dark wizards to join his army.

If the school is closed, he will get nothing.

But about this, Ivan is not too sure, who knows how crazy Voldemort will become when he combines with the evil god.

"Ivan, Harry, we need to discuss carefully about not going back to school and the plan you two told me last time." Sirius said worriedly, knowing that Ivan and the others planned to set off to find The remaining two keys to the secret treasure and the matter of destroying the remaining Horcruxes, but they did not fully agree with their idea, "Before that, Harry, you have to go back to the Dursleys' house so that Lily can stay The magic on you is effective. Then, I will accompany you to Godric's Valley to see your parents' graves... Aiwen, you should also go home to spend time with your parents this summer!"

Yes, this is the last summer vacation, and Ivan really hasn't been back for a long time.

He should really go home this summer, or spend some time at Hermione's.

Then, he was going to Gringotts to take out the gold cup, which was both a Horcrux and the key to Hufflepuff's secret treasure, which was very crucial.

In view of the defense of Gringotts and the troublesomeness of the goblins, Ivan intends to go after the chaos in the wizarding world. It is best to wait until Voldemort takes over Gringotts and the goblins escape, then things will be much simpler.

"Don't forget Bill and Fleur's wedding." Ron reminded, "Before that, you have to come to my house first."

"That's right, it's something we shouldn't miss," said Sirius.

"Also, you are going to visit my house." Gabriel hurriedly said, "If you can't return to Hogwarts, you can come to Beauxbatons next semester, Madam Maxime will welcome you."

"Or how about going to the United States?" Elaine continued, "I heard from my uncle that the magic world in the United States is amazing. They are more closely integrated with Muggles than we are here. We can go to Muggle schools. There are a lot of wizards, vampires and werewolves in my Muggle school. Oh, yes, they call Muggles No-Majs there."

In this way, there will be no head. France, the United States, and Ivan planned to go to China before.These sound more like study tours and travels. The prospects before them are not so bright, but a dark and tortuous road.

At the end of this road, they will face to face with Voldemort and the evil gods.

The difficult prospect seems to be able to bring out the beauty of the peaceful golden days in front of him. Ivan did not deny Gabriel and Elaine's thoughts, but talked about them along their lines of thought.

One day, they will go back to see the wider and more exciting magical world...

……

The endless night fell, and the light seemed to disappear.

On a narrow, moonlit path, two men appeared out of nowhere a few yards apart.

They stood motionless, pointing their wands at each other's chests; soon they recognized each other, put their wands under their robes, and sped off in the same direction.

"Any news?" the taller of the two asked.

"Excellent news," Severus Snape replied.

The left side of the path is covered with dense low brambles, while the right side is a tall and neatly trimmed hedge.

The two moved forward quickly, their robes slapping their ankles.

"Really? Good news?" Yaxley asked skeptically, his awkward figure looming now and then as the branches above obscured the moonlight. It is more difficult than imagined, I hope he will be satisfied, it sounds like you are very confident in your meeting?"

Snape nodded, but did not elaborate.

They turned into a wide driveway on the right and left the lane.

The tall hedges turned a corner with them, and an ornate iron gate in the distance blocked them, but neither of them stopped.

In the silence, they raised their right hands as if saluting, and then went straight through the iron gate. The black metal seemed to be just a cloud of smoke.

Chapter 1533 Monsters and Intelligence

The sound of the yew hedge obscured the footsteps of the two men, and suddenly there was a rustling sound to their right. Yaxley drew his wand, held it over his companion's head, and aimed it at the sound, but he was very Quickly lowering his wand, the sound was only that of a white peacock strutting over the top of the hedge.

"Hmph, peacock! Lucius always makes himself too comfortable!" Yaxley said dismissively.

With a heavy snort, he thrust his wand firmly back into his cloak.

Snape didn't say anything, he had been here many times, of course he knew the style of this manor.

At the end of the road, a majestic mansion flashed out of the dark night, and there were little lights in the windows made of diamonds downstairs.

In the dark courtyard, there is a beautiful fountain spraying water.

Snape and Yaxley walked quickly to the front door, gravel crackling under their feet.

As soon as they approached, the door opened, although no one came to open the door behind.

The corridor facing the foyer was wide, dimly lit but luxuriously decorated, and the stone floor was covered with gorgeous carpets, all of which were decorated with gold threads.The walls and pillars on both sides are inlaid with broken gemstones, and under the light, they emit a faint brilliance.

The pale statues on the walls stared at Snape and Yaxley as they strode across the corridor.

The two stopped before the heavy wooden door leading to the next room, and took a breath before Snape turned the brass handle.

The gorgeous long table in the lounge was full of people, all of whom were silent.

The furniture in the room was randomly piled up against the wall, and the blazing flame in the marble fireplace was the only light source in the room, which was not enough to illuminate the entire room. There was a gilded mirror above the fireplace.

Snape and Yaxley lingered at the door for a while, and as their eyes adjusted to the dim light, a very strange scene attracted them: an unconscious figure was hanging upside down over the table, spinning slowly , as if there was an invisible string helping him, he was reflected in the mirror and the polished table.However, everyone present did not look at him, except for a pale young man, who was sitting almost directly below him, as if he couldn't help secretly raising his head to glance at him every few minutes.

"Yaxley, Snape!" A grim voice came from the table, "You're going to be late!"

The speaker was seated directly in front of the fireplace, so that the two newcomers could only make out his outline at a glance.

The two walked a few steps closer, and finally saw his face glowing in the dark.

It was a hairless, serpentine face, so pale it was almost pearly.

His nostrils were a thin line, and the pupils of his scarlet eyes became a thin line.

Not sure whether it was an illusion or the flickering fire in the fireplace behind, the scarlet eyes seemed to glow red too.

Yes, abnormal red light!

Snape felt that using abnormal to describe the recent state of the Dark Lord was too appropriate. He was becoming less and less like a human wizard.

Voldemort is more like a monster. Although he was a monster before, these are two completely different concepts.

One is a dark wizard who has undergone countless messy dark arts experiments, but is still human at heart; the other is... Snape is not sure what word to use to describe Voldemort's current state, maybe like that As Ivan Mason said, Voldemort is merging with the evil god, and he himself is becoming an evil god.

Cthulhu, a terrifying magical monster parasitic in the shadows of the void.

What was the scene beneath Voldemort's voluminous black robes that covered his entire body? !

Snape was sure that once he followed the cuff, he seemed to see some kind of inhuman strange organ...

Thinking of this, he hastily used Occlumency, and Voldemort's cold voice sounded at the same time.

"Severus, sit here!" Voldemort pointed to the seat immediately to his right. "Yaxley, sit next to Dolohov."

The two sat down at their designated places, most eyes at the table followed Snape, and Voldemort spoke to him first.

"How about it?"

"Master, the Order of the Phoenix intends to remove Harry Potter from his current safe house next Saturday evening."

The people around the table were visibly interested: some straightened up, some seemed unable to sit still, and all stared at Snape and Voldemort.

"Saturday...evening," repeated Voldemort, his horrific red eyes fixed on Snape's black ones so piercingly that those around him looked away quickly, as if worried that the murderous gaze would burn them. Own.

Snape watched Voldemort's face impassively, and a moment later Voldemort's lipless mouth twisted into an odd smile.

"Okay, very good, this information comes from..."

"From the source we talked about," said Snape deadpan.

"Owner."

Yaxley leaned forward to look across the long table at Voldemort and Snape, and everyone turned to him.

"Master, I heard different information." Yaxley waited, but Voldemort didn't speak, so he continued, "Dawlish, that's the Auror. According to him, Bit is going to be on the 30th. That is, the night before he turned 17, he was transferred."

Snape smiled, as if Yaxley would have said that a long time ago.

"I've been told by my sources that they're planning to spread some false information, and that's for sure. There's no doubt that it's not the first time that Dawlish has been under the Confusion Charm, and he's notoriously volatile. Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix knows that they deliberately let him leak the news."

"I assure you, my lord, Dawlish looks sure," said Yaxley hastily.

"He's sure of it if he's Confounding," said Snape. "I assure you, Yaxley, that the Auror Office will no longer play any role in covering Harry Potter, Phoenix." The Society believes that our people have broken into the Ministry of Magic, they don't believe in the Ministry at all, and they are not working with Rufus Scrimgeour."
