Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

Although Mr. Weasley has been discharged from the hospital, he is still in a wheelchair.

His body was still wrapped in thick bandages.

Mrs. Weasley pushed him through the door, followed by Ron and several other Weasley children.

"Mr. Weasley, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital."

When John and his two companions saw them arrive, they all got up and went to the door to greet them.

"Oh, John, Hermione, you two are here."

Mr. Weasley saw them and smiled at them.

They returned to the kitchen and sat down, where the Weasley children greeted John and Hermione.

"Harry, quickly write a letter to Sirius and tell him to come back. John and Hermione are here too. I'm cooking a big meal tonight to celebrate Arthur's discharge from the hospital."

Mrs. Weasley seemed very pleased. After settling Mr. Weasley at the table, she clapped her hands and laughed.

"no problem!"

Harry immediately nodded in agreement. He also wanted to get Sirius back, since he had to go to school tomorrow, and they could have another get-together today.

"And have Sirius bring Remus, Kingsley, and Tonks along too."

Mr. Weasley, who was standing nearby, chuckled and added.

Since it's a celebratory dinner anyway, we should invite as many people as possible to make it more lively.

Soon Mrs. Weasley went out again, saying she was going to buy groceries.

Let the children take good care of their father.

John had been watching silently, and only after everyone finished exchanging pleasantries did he ask about the important matter.

"Mr. Weasley, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"In fact, I visited Mr. Crow's house yesterday, and learned from Mrs. Crow..."

"Are you aware of the recent personnel changes at the lower levels of the Ministry of Magic?"

Upon hearing John's question, Mr. Weasley paused, his hand holding the teacup still, and looked at John with a puzzled expression.

"Changes at the grassroots level?"

He had never really paid attention to such a thing before.

After all, his treatment at the Ministry of Magic plummeted after Voldemort returned because he had become too close to Dumbledore.

It wasn't a demotion, but rather that some colleagues who used to have a good relationship with him stopped maintaining their relationship with him, and his popularity plummeted.

They are no longer as sensitive to the slightest changes within the department.

"Yes, they said some old colleagues suddenly left, and then new colleagues immediately took their place."

"And these new colleagues were promoted very quickly."

Seeing that Mr. Weasley seemed unaware, John continued to explain.

Having been in the corporate world for many years, Mr. Weasley immediately understood what John meant.

"You think there's something wrong with these people, don't you?" Mr. Weasley asked, putting down his teacup and frowning slightly.

"Hmm, I think we can put these people on the investigation list first."

"We also need to pay attention to their direct superiors who promoted them."

"This way, we can better distinguish whether Fudge, that idiot, is courting death, or whether Voldemort's henchmen are behind some of the Ministry of Magic's actions."

Mr. Weasley paused for a moment, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the rim of his glass.

"This is indeed something to be wary of."

"I will begin the investigation once I return to the department."

"By the way, contact Clown to inquire about the details."

Seeing that these words had caught Mr. Weasley's attention, John was relieved.

Because Mrs. Clare was just an ordinary woman and held a regular position in the Ministry of Magic, her words might not carry much weight.

That's why John specifically asked Mr. Weasley to relay the message, lest it be dismissed as nonsense and ignored.

They might not be able to completely stop Voldemort's infiltration, but at least they could set up defenses in advance.

After that, the matter was naturally handed over to Mr. Weasley, since his connections and experience in the Ministry of Magic far surpassed those of others.

While the two were discussing, the children around them couldn't get a word in edgewise.

They never expected that the youngest John could discuss the undercurrents of the Ministry of Magic with Mr. Weasley so calmly and skillfully.

Hermione raised her beautiful eyebrows, clearly very proud.

......

Time quickly passed and it was afternoon.

The Order of the Phoenix has indeed become much more lively.

Apart from Kingsley and Tonks, who both work at the Ministry of Magic, the rest of the Order of the Phoenix members have returned.

Sirius Black, whom we haven't seen in a long time, still looks energetic, and it seems he's doing quite well living alone.

When he returned, he first gave Harry a big hug, then his gaze swept over John before he came to John's side.

She hooked her arm around John's shoulder, led him to a corner of the room, and asked in a low voice.

"I heard you found another Horcrux from Voldemort at school?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

John was taken aback by Sirius's words and asked in return.

Dumbledore did not fully disclose the Horcruxes to the members of the Order of the Phoenix in order to prevent anyone from falling into the hands of the Death Eaters, having their memories stolen by Legilimency, and thus exposing their progress or purpose.

However, because he and Dumbledore had returned to the Order of the Phoenix and specifically investigated the locket, Sirius Black and Professor Lupin are now also among the insiders of the Horcruxes.

"Of course, Dumbledore told me."

"Now, besides occasionally babysitting you kids, Remus and I are mainly helping Dumbledore investigate Voldemort's past and sift through clues for Horcruxes."

"After all, only a few of us in the Order of the Phoenix know about the existence of Horcruxes, so the two of us asked Dumbledore for this task to help him out."

Sirius blinked and smiled as he whispered.

However, John remained skeptical of Sirius...

"No, are you even capable?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that, kid? Looking down on me?"

"really."

"???"

Sirius, enraged, immediately grabbed John's cheeks and began to scrub them.

Although John was skeptical of Sirius's abilities, having two more people investigating the Horcruxes was certainly better than having one more person like Dumbledore.

Putting everything else aside, Dumbledore had at least two people he could call on, so he didn't have to do everything himself.

It is indeed a form of sharing the burden.

John rubbed his burning cheeks and said to Sirius in a speechless tone.

"So, how's your progress going?"

Sirius put his hand on John's shoulder, put on a serious expression, and slowly said.

"Yes, our focus now is on investigating Voldemort's former residence."

"Riddle House, located in Little Hangleton."

John became interested upon hearing the unfamiliar term.

"Riddle House?" John asked, seizing the key point.

"Hey, you don't know Voldemort's real name yet?"

"His real name was Tom Riddle. He disappeared more than a decade after graduating from Hogwarts and returned under the name Voldemort."

John had no idea before; he had always thought Voldemort was his name.

"So what exactly was Voldemort's past like?" John continued to press.

Since St. Mungo's meeting with Neville's parents, John has become increasingly proactive in resisting Voldemort, no longer slacking off and waiting for the protagonist to develop the plot.

However, Sirius simply shrugged and said...

"I can't explain this to you. You should go back to school tomorrow and ask Dumbledore yourself."
