Chapter 40 After the Event
"That's how it's the whole situation, Professor Dumbledore."
Members of the Order of the Phoenix are gathered for a meeting in the Black family mansion at 12 Grimo Square.
"You guys are so rude." Before Dumbledore could speak, the "missing" Sirius spoke first, "How could I be caught and tortured by Voldemort-I mean, a person as steady as me cannot make such mistakes."
Snape snorted, "We are not doing anything nonsense, Black. It's all because of your good godson, Porter, that others are in danger."
"This is because you didn't teach him brain closure well. Harry was deceived by Voldemort because he was young!" Sirius said disdainfully, "Snot, the reason why I agree with Dumbledore for asking you to teach Harry Potter brain closure well is that you respect your achievements in this, but you didn't teach him well at all."
"This is thanks to your words and deeds. Black Porter is not a regular student. He is as stupid and reckless as his father. Under your influence, his tendency in this regard is getting worse. Forgive me, he is not the material for learning brain closure, not to mention that he is facing the Dark Lord, a master of God-taking and thinking. I think you should prepare a coffin for Porter as soon as possible."
"What did you say? Snot sperm?" Sirius stood up, "Do you want to duel with me?"
"If you want." Snape also stood up.
"Okay! Come quiet, Professor Dumbledore hasn't spoken yet." Lupin stood up and isolated the two people who seemed to be on the spot, "Say less."
"Yes." Dumbledore finally spoke, "Remus is right, you shouldn't do this." His voice was not loud, but there was an unquestionable persuasion.
Sirius and Snape stopped, but they still confronted each other with their eyes.
"I've heard Silver say the specific matter just now. You have nothing to add, right?" Dumbledore shook his heads when he inspected the surroundings.
"Sirian, I have to ask you, is there anything you have left Grimo Square for so long but haven't come back?" Dumbledore said.
"I just went out to have a few drinks with my friends, and then went out for a short trip." Sirius spread his hands, "I think this is normal. I am a person who likes to have fun."
"But if you are not at 12 Grimo Square, we tend to think you have been taken away by the Dark Lord," Snape said.
"I said no!"
"Okay, I don't want to repeat it again. The argument is not helpful to us." Dumbledore said. "It happened that I was also working abroad at that time, and you couldn't contact me. It was correct for you to make such a decision. The Order of the Phoenix cannot give up any member."
"I--"
"Sirius, enough." Lupin held Sirius down, "You just sit down."
"Silver said that Harry was stunned by Severus and stayed with Mrs. Pomfrey. How did he find Voldemort's stronghold later?" Dumbledore thoughtfully.
"I'm afraid the connection between Harry and the Dark Lord is closer than we had previously guessed, Professor Dumbledore." Silver said, "The Dark Lord is desperate to get Harry. He does not hesitate to create the illusion of the little wolf being kidnapped and lure Harry to come to him. And Professor Snape is also merciless. Harry's awakening time is much shorter than we expected."
"I don't show mercy," Snape said, pursing his lips.
Dumbledore closed his eyes and buried his face in his slender hands. This was an abnormal sign.
Dumbledore lowered his hands and looked at everyone from his half-moon glasses.
"It seems that we care less about Harry," he said.
"But Porter now has a very inexplicable resistance, which is difficult to deal with." Snape said. "I can feel that he even had some doubts about you, Professor Dumbledore..." (To be continued...)
