The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 581 Another Emergency Meeting of the Order of the Phoenix

After much deliberation, Loila came here after saying goodbye to Miss Hilo.

Looking at the empty space in front of her, Luo Yi pursed her lips and carefully pushed open the door to the room.

As expected, she saw Sirius sitting on the sofa drinking some kind of beverage. Although he looked quite relaxed with his legs crossed, he was actually frowning.

"Miss Hamilton?" He paused for a moment upon seeing Loila, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you here because of Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"I didn't expect you to be the first one to arrive—"

"Ah—the others—haven't arrived yet?" Loila bit her lip and slowly sat down in the corner of the sofa, which was not only a corner, but also the furthest from Sirius.

"Not yet—but it should be soon." Sirius sighed. "Fudge is really crazy."

"He was a madman before—and now he's an utterly stupid madman." He said, pursing his lips. "How could anyone, under these circumstances, choose to issue a warrant for Dumbledore's arrest?"

Sirius said this as he tossed the newspaper onto the table.

It was obvious that he had just been frowning as he looked at the newspaper.

This was the Daily Prophet, and Loira only glanced at it before spotting the most striking headline: "This isn't a Halloween joke, it's a horror story! Dumbledore has betrayed the wizards!"

"————"

You don't even need to look closely to know what it's about—it's definitely an attack on Dumbledore by the Ministry of Magic—although Lloyd usually agrees with attacks on Dumbledore, in this situation—it's just too bizarre.

It was so bizarre that Royla didn't know what to do—so bizarre that she even came to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters on her own initiative—

"Um—" After thinking for a moment, Loila said, "I happened to be there when Dumbledore—was running away."

"Huh?" Sirius looked up immediately upon hearing this. "You were here too?"

"Did the Ministry of Magic send you—dumbledore?"

"No—no, that's not it." Loila shook her head. "I just happen to have something to talk to—about him—it's about—"

"So Headmaster Dumbledore really did leave, right?" Sirius asked anxiously. "He wasn't caught by the Ministry of Magic, was he?"

"Ah—yes—yes—wait—" Roy blinked: "He didn't come here?"

Loila had thought Dumbledore would come to the Order of the Phoenix—but he didn't?

Where did he go? Did he go back to his hometown for vacation?

"He didn't come here—definitely—" Sirius paused, then continued, "Did he say anything to you?"

"Since he didn't come here—it means he has something more important to do, right?" This was probably the fastest thought Sirius had ever had. He suddenly stood up and walked up to Loira, startling her so much that she shrank back on the sofa.

What did he say?

"He—he said—" Loila recalled for a moment and said, "He reminded me of something he had said before."

"It's about me becoming the interim headmaster of Hogwarts—oh right!" Loila suddenly remembered Dumbledore's strange words before he left.

"He mentioned Fudge—Fudge's ring."

"A ring?" Sirius frowned, seemingly not quite understanding what this meant.

However, it wasn't just him; Royla also didn't understand Dumbledore's meaning—he had spoken very cryptically, so cryptically that Royla herself hadn't even realized at the time what kind of hint it might be—

"I don't know what this means—but there's definitely something wrong with Fudge's ring—" Sirius muttered. "This could be something very important."

"Ah————" When it comes to something important, Loila immediately thought of the Horcruxes. Would Sirius know about RAB?

After all, didn't he participate in the first war against Voldemort?

So Loila pursed her lips and said, "That Blake—Mr. Blake, you know—"

"Clatter".

Before she could finish speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Miss Tonks Nymphadora walked in looking flustered.

As soon as she entered, she immediately said, "You all know about Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"Fudge has completely gone mad!"

"We already know." Sirius nodded. "Miss Hamilton and I were just—"

"So do you know who Fudge is planning to appoint as the headmaster of Hogwarts?" Miss Tonks plopped down next to Loila, squeezing her into a corner.

"He made Umbridge the headmaster of Hogwarts!"

"Hmm!"

It was an order that didn't surprise Loila so much—because in Loila's view, if Fudge really appointed a principal, he probably only had a few options—

It definitely wouldn't be me—

The most likely candidate is Umbridge—I never imagined she would actually be the headmistress of Hogwarts now.

It feels like Hogwarts is about to be in chaos again for a while —

Compared to Loila's worries, Sirius immediately clenched his fists.

"No—Harry is still at Hogwarts." He said, turning to walk outside, picking up his coat as he went.

"What are you doing?!" Tonks rushed forward and grabbed him. "You're a fugitive now!"

"It would be very dangerous if the Ministry of Magic saw us!"

"Then isn't Harry in danger?" he said, tossing his arm. "Harry's still at Hogwarts!"

"The Ministry of Magic is now under Voldemort's control! And now they've taken control of Hogwarts! Harry is in great danger!"

""

"Professor Snape is still there!" Tonks grabbed Sirius's arm tightly. "And Professor Hamilton is there too, isn't he?"

As she spoke, she quickly looked at Loila with pleading eyes.

"Ah—I will protect—protect the students' safety," Roy quickly said, even though she felt she might not even be able to protect herself.

Seeing that both of them said this, Sirius seemed to calm down. He took a deep breath and said, "Harry is my godson—I must protect him—"

"We will all protect Harry." Miss Tonks, though she seemed impulsive, remained surprisingly calm in this situation.

She spoke slowly and resolutely, "We won't let those pure-blood lunatics continue like this—"

"If Kreacher, that madman who believes in pure blood, knew you were making this up, he'd be so angry he'd gouge his ears out!"

"Only a heartless young master would allow something like this to happen!"
