Chapter 367: Members of the Order of the Phoenix Gathered in One Room

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Someone's coming again." Snape raised his eyebrows.

I looked at the opposite corner and saw something like a mirror hanging on it, but it did not reflect the scene in the room. There were many dark figures swaying around in it, but they were all blurry and unclear.

"This is a modified magic mirror. In my opinion, on ordinary days, it is just a normal mirror."

"When there is a wizard near your house, these figures will appear." Dumbledore showed a curious look.

"Yes, the original magic mirror has always been like this. If the whites of the eyes of these figures inside show, it means I'm in trouble."

"But it's too much trouble. I'm not a lunatic like Moody who stares at a dark magic detector all day."

"Calculating the time, I should go open the door." After Snape confronted Mad-Eye Moody in the air, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Soon, this soft-walled prison-like room was packed with people.

At the very edge is Mad-Eye Moody, whom Snape just mentioned.

One of the original members of the Order of the Phoenix, a friend of Dumbledore, and also a great Auror who is well-known in the wizarding world.

He has long gray hair, a large piece of flesh is missing from his nose (taken away by Evan Rosier), every inch of skin on his face seems to be scarred, his mouth is like a big crooked gash, and one of his eyes is a magic eye, which is much larger than the other normal eye, round like a coin, and a distinct bright blue. This magic eye can see through invisibility cloaks, walls, doors, and even the back of Moody's own head, so the wizarding world also calls him "Mad-Eye Moody".

One of his legs is a prosthetic and it makes a clicking sound when he walks.

He was an excellent Auror, and he had captured more than half of the people in Azkaban, so he had made many enemies for himself.

Since retiring at an old age, Moody has become more and more suspicious. He doesn't trust anyone and thinks he sees dark wizards wherever he goes, so "always stay alert" has become his motto.

At this moment, he was looking at everything in the room with his magic eyes like a hyena.

It seemed that even Dumbledore's presence could not reassure him.

The one leaning against Moody was naturally Dedalus Digger, and only because he was so lively could he stay next to Moody as if nothing had happened.

"Oh! This is my first visit to Snape's house!" His distinctive, shrill voice rang out from the room.

Because he was too excited, his top hat fell off.

"Hurry up!" An equally shrill voice came from Di Ge's arms. It was a huge pocket watch.

"There's no rush now." A square-jawed wizard next to Di Ge said with a smile.

His name is Sturgis Podmore, he has thick straw-colored hair, and he is also a member of the original Order of the Phoenix.

Next to Sturgis, on Dumbledore's right, was the only witch present. She had rosy cheeks and the same dark black hair as Snape, but unlike his, her hair was not greasy.

Her name is Hestia Jones.

"He is Kingsley Shacklebolt, an outstanding Auror of the Ministry of Magic, who acts steadily and cautiously."

"A new member of the Order of the Phoenix." Dumbledore explained when he saw Snape staring at the only new face among them.

Kingsley is a bald, tall, dark-skinned wizard with a gold ring on one ear. Judging from his appearance alone, it is impossible to reconcile Dumbledore's evaluation of him with his true self.

"outstanding?"

"It goes without saying that he is outstanding to be here with other founding members of the Order of the Phoenix, to a place where there might be Voldemort and his Death Eaters," Snape said sarcastically.

You know, he had never heard comments like excellent, steady, and cautious from Dumbledore. "Hello, Mr. Snape."

"Although we did not face the battle we should have, it would be helpful if you could provide some information about your encounter with Voldemort and your escape from him."

"Maybe we can still get there. He may still be very weak." Kingsley said slowly. His voice was low and slow, but it contained a calming tone.

"Yes, this brat is right. It's not that I look down on you."

"Snape, your skills are great, but given your level, you can still escape from Voldemort and his Death Eaters unscathed."

"Then perhaps now is a good opportunity to catch Voldemort."

"Come to think of it, my wand hasn't tasted Voldemort yet!" Moody's slightly crazy voice rang out in the room.

cough cough.

Dumbledore's cough drew everyone's attention away from Snape.

"The current Voldemort has not been resurrected, or he deliberately did not resurrect."

"He is now just possessing the body of the betrayer in his eyes. The subordinates he called upon again are just consumables in his eyes."

"Besides, he deliberately did not harm any Muggle or wizard life - except for the Death Eaters."

"If we come here now, then--" Dumbledore didn't finish his words, but others also heard his hidden meaning. He was afraid of the sacrifices among the people in front of him.

The reason why Snape was able to escape was only because Voldemort did not have many consumables in his hands that would allow him to exert his full strength.

"Sacrifice? I've been prepared for this since I became an Auror."

"Albus, you are really old." Moody's magic eyes rolled wildly in his eye sockets, just like his burning murderous intent.

"Can I say something first?"

"Voldemort sent me back to make peace with us."

"What we should focus on now is not how to catch him."

"As far as I know, Voldemort relied on the magic that made him immortal. Even Dumbledore couldn't catch him before he was resurrected."

"Our main focus now should be on a more important target - the 'venomous snake' in Hogwarts, the spy called 'little friend' by Voldemort." Snape sneered.

In the next ten minutes or so, Snape began to talk in his cold and stiff voice about what he had seen and heard from Voldemort, as well as his communications with Dumbledore.

"Besides the two dead bastards, the Carrow siblings, there are new faces that you don't even recognize?" Moody clenched the wand in his hand.

"Also, Albus, I also think that Draco Malfoy is a big suspect."

"Don't tell me you believe him. The Potter brat believes him too."

"There was such a person, who was trusted by you and another Potter kid at the time - but what happened?"

"I don't think I need to say much about that man's name." Moody sneered.
