Chapter 282 Don't Know

"What the hell is this place?"

After the three reviewed each other for a while, Harry, who calmed down a little, finally asked Ron and Hermione this question. X23US. COM updates the fastest

"Order of the Phoenix." Ron replied without hesitation.

"What is the Order of the Phoenix"

"This is a secret society," Hermione explained. "It was originally founded by Dumbledore, and they are all people who fought against the mysterious man last time. The current general manager... is Maca."

"Maka...yes! Maca..." Harry stopped walking back and forth, thought for a moment and then said, "Who's in there? It sounds like there are quite a few people!"

"We've seen about a dozen of them," said Ron, "but there must be more than that."

"And then?" Harry rubbed his face, trying to calm himself down, "Where is Voldemort now? Why did he send dementors to attack me? Is everyone else okay?"

"No, in fact, the recent attacks have suddenly decreased." Hermione shook her head, her long, unkempt hair flicked back and forth, looking like a bundle of dried seaweed.

Ron also whispered: "As for the mysterious man... He hasn't appeared since the audio-visual meeting, and the activities of the Death Eaters seem to be much more secretive..."

"Do you all know so clearly?" Harry asked strangely, "But it seems that you are not allowed to participate in... er, the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix?"

"That's right! Most adults don't allow it." Hermione nodded and said, "But Maca didn't hide it from us... At least, he won't stop us from reading the Operation Report of the Order of the Phoenix. When I ask for some details , and he will explain it to me.”

"Of course! We still won't be able to get in during the meeting..." Ron spread his hands, but then leaned down and said mysteriously, "But we can also get a general idea."

"how do you know?"

"Fred and George invented the retractable ears, see?" said Ron. "That little thing really works."

"Stretching..."

"Yeah, telescoping ears!" Ron beckoned, beckoning Harry to come closer, "but we'd better not use them because Mum found out she was going to be pissed!"

"only,

Even if you hear something, it doesn't really mean much! Hermione didn't seem to like that little prop very much, she waved her hand and said, "Many missions have action reports at Maca's, which are much more detailed than what was said at the meeting." "

"...Just like the recent words, the main task is to absorb more people into the Order of the Phoenix." Hermione added.

"And there are people on sentry," said Ron, "on guard duty or something...you know."

"Security mission?" Harry thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Oh, you mean...to protect me?"

"I think...that's right, that's right."

Ron looked at Harry's face full of reluctance, and didn't know what to say to comfort him.

Harry put away the boredom that was about to churn again, and he continued to pace around the room in circles.

"So... what have you two been up to lately?" he asked. "You say you've been busy."

"It's very busy!" Hermione said hastily, "This house has been empty for many years, and a lot of messy things have grown and multiplied in it!"

"Sisters Ron, Maca, and Leni Lena, I, and Miss Werther also came here a while ago and we gave this house a thorough cleaning. It was not until recently that it was almost finished..."

Hermione counted the number of people with her fingers, and finally said with a more emphatic tone: "Maka is always lazy, and he won't listen to you! We are almost exhausted, and he still slips away from time to time. It's... ouch!"

"Crack! Crack!"

With two piercing bangs, Ron's twin brothers, Fred and George, suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.

The little owl and piggy squawked even more flustered, flew over and landed on the top of the wardrobe with Hedwig.

"You're doing it again!" Hermione yelled at the Weasley twins, turning around in shock.

...

"...Now that the situation can be determined, it will be much easier to deal with it. Regarding this matter, we don't need to do anything for the time being, just wait for them to show their feet."

The original reception room has now become the meeting room and command room of the Order of the Phoenix. After listening to Snape's secret report, Maca spoke calmly while flipping through the information report.

"But, wait for them to reveal themselves...is this reliable?" Tonks who was sitting on the side asked with a puzzled expression, "Why don't we take the initiative?"

Maca smiled, pointed to the event records on the table and said: "First of all, Voldemort obviously intends to play it safe this time. He is reducing the irregular harassment, but will"

Hua was only halfway through, when Maca suddenly stopped talking and glanced at the closed door.

"Fred, George, today's meeting is a bit special, please put that stuff away first!"

Maca's words made Mrs. Weasley angry again, and he had to shake his hand at Mrs. Weasley, signaling her not to rush to reprimand the restless twin brothers.

"Ahem, let me continue..." Maca cleared his throat, and continued, "Actually, to put it bluntly, no organization is monolithic, even the Order of the Phoenix, hasn't there been a situation like Peter Pettigrew? "

"This time Voldemort intends to use wisdom to create a situation in his favor, which is not a bad thing for us." He explained, "Since he has chosen to use the rules of the wizarding world to do things, no matter Whatever he does means he too will be bound by the rules."

Having said that, Maca knocked on the table, looked around for another week, and then said emphatically: "Besides, whether it's recruiting members or negotiating with other forces, we need time, not to mention..."

He looked at the Weasleys and said, "...Percy, we can't just leave it alone, can we?"

"Forget about that bastard! I'll just be" "Arthur!"

Upon hearing Percy's name, Mr. Weasley immediately trembled with anger, and Mrs. Weasley's eyes turned red again. Seeing this, Tonks couldn't help but glared at Maca, and then hurried over to comfort Mrs. Weasley.

In fact, Maca didn't want to mention it either.

But there are some things, it’s not that if you don’t mention it, you can treat it as if it never happened. On the contrary, you must always bring it out and put it in front of everyone, so as to avoid future regrets caused by everyone’s deliberate avoidance.

"Okay, so... any questions?"

As Maca said, he looked at all the people present and found that no one raised any objections, so he said loudly: "In that case, let's end today's meeting here! Sirius, I will go to your room to pick up a new report tomorrow morning "Everyone, get ready and let's eat!"

After that, he saw that Snape was about to leave silently, so he stopped him suddenly.

"Professor Snape!" Maca said, "Are you sure you won't stay for dinner?"

"No need." Snape didn't even look back, he was about to go out.

"Oh! Wait, Professor!" Maca hurriedly chased after him, "Professor, since you won't stay for dinner, then just come with me!"

"What's the matter?" Snape frowned.

"A woman came back from Kingsley before, she said she wanted to find you...won't you go and have a look?" Maca pointed to the upstairs.

"Woman?" Snape frowned even tighter. "Who?"

"She said her name was Tia, and she said she was from the United States and graduated from Ilvermorny." Maca shrugged.

"America?" Snape thought for a while, then shook his head again, "I have no impression."

"Then go and have a look?"

Coming upstairs with Snape who was a little impatient, Maca knocked on the door of that bedroom.

"Who, who's there?"

A slight voice came from the room, sounding a little trembling.

"It's me, McClain," Maca said. "Don't you want to meet Professor Snape? I brought him..."

Before Maca finished speaking, there was a sound of thumping footsteps inside, and then the bedroom door was opened a crack, and a black eye looked out behind the crack.

When she saw Snape, the door was finally opened, and Tia stepped out of the room suddenly, staring blankly at Snape's face.

Snape looked up and down at Tia suspiciously, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and a sense of irritability gradually appeared on his face.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for me?" He didn't seem to know Tia, and he didn't seem to have any affection for this woman.

However, under Snape's questioning, Tia remained silent. She just kept looking at Snape's face, as if something in Snape's face was catching her attention.

"I'm asking you a question!"

Seeing Tia staring at him like this, he seemed even more impatient, and raised his volume and said coldly.

"No...you...I..." Tia was startled by him, opened her mouth, and began to speak incoherently.

"Miss Tia," Maca had to remind her, "haven't you met Professor Snape now? Calm down, no one will bully you here, you can speak slowly... You can find Professor Snape What's the matter?"

When Kingsley brought her back, Maca was also inexplicable.

It was heard that she had been wandering around Little Whinging, allegedly lost. But on the day she went to Harry to ask for directions, a dementor happened to appear, which looked suspicious no matter what.

Coupled with her cowardly and weird character, it is really hard not to doubt her.

For such a strange woman who appeared out of nowhere, Maca had no choice but to keep her under his nose so that he could notice her behavior at any time.

However, the more he observed, the more Maka wondered what this woman was here for.

"...You are looking for Professor Snape, what can you do?" Maca asked again with a softer tone.

"No, I don't know...")!!
