Chapter 370 Harley: It’s Broken, It’s Going to Capsize!

Harry took the note and read it carefully: "The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London."

She was stunned subconsciously. Isn't this the location of Blake's old house? Where is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix located?

Wait, why did Professor Dumbledore give himself this note...

Harley couldn't help but rub her temples, and suddenly remembered something.

Professor Dumbledore once revealed when chatting with Grindelwald that in order to ensure safety, the Order of the Phoenix has been shrouded in the Loyalty Curse, and Professor Dumbledore himself is the secret keeper.

No wonder he suddenly felt an inexplicable force trying to invade his memory before participating in the International Wizarding Competition.

Because this power is too plain, not very powerful, and bypasses Occlumency, it does not conform to the normal operation of memory magic.

Therefore, Harley thought at the time that the "manipulation glasses", a magical item with certain activity, suddenly went crazy and was causing emotional side effects on herself.

Upon inspection, Harley found nothing too unusual about this magical item.

So she just used the personality and power of Sequence 2 to erase that power, and then left it behind.

Thinking about it now, it was probably the Chidan Loyalty Curse that was at work at that time, trying to hide the location of the Order of the Phoenix in his mind.

"Let's go, I think you should also realize the true nature of this spell."

Professor Dumbledore stood up from his chair and took out a book.

"For security reasons, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​shrouded in the Red Loyalty Curse, the Anti-Apparition Curse, and the Anti-Portkey Curse. Only this special Portkey and Fox's Apparition can directly access it. Even the entry and exit of most house elves are blocked. Restricted."

"Thank you Fox for your selfless gift. Without him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to design this kind of permanent door key that can be used repeatedly."

Fawkes on the cabinet heard Professor Dumbledore's words, and stuck his head out angrily, stuffing herbs in his mouth and chirping a few times.

"I really didn't mean to take your feathers, I just saw that you happened to be losing your feathers, so I used them... Harley, let's go!"

Seeing that Fawkes had stood up from the nest and seemed to be rushing over to peck him, Professor Dumbledore hurriedly put his hand on the book.

The book burst into blue light instantly, and with quick eyes and quick hands, Harry put his hand on it.

The two of them disappeared instantly. Fox dived forward, but only hit a ball of air, and finally fell on the table.

The old principals on the wall suddenly laughed unkindly, and Phineas even laughed as he got into the depths of the portraits, preparing to go to the Black Mansion to laugh at Dumbledore.

…………

Harry and Professor Dumbledore landed in the foyer of the old Black mansion.

At this time, the foyer was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. The lights on the wall were not lit, and the door leading to the hall was closed.

Harley snapped her fingers, and the chandelier above her head quickly lit up.

This place was very different from the last time she came here. The peeling wallpaper had been repaired, and there was no longer the sound of small magical creatures scurrying behind the wall.

The colorless carpet that was originally laid under the feet has also disappeared, and was replaced by a brand new, weird green and red carpet.

"It seems that Sirius didn't lie to me. He did reconcile with Kreacher."

Harley looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but nodded.

"Sirius is still very honest, and he doesn't lie most of the time." Professor Dumbledore sighed,

"In fact, I have always felt that he, and all pure-blood families, should be nicer to the house elves around them."

"Although it is impossible for us to completely liberate these creatures due to some historical reasons, wizards should at least be friendly to them instead of abusing them at will."

"And Kreacher is such a loyal house elf, and his former master was also so great."

The book in Professor Dumbledore's hand instantly burst into flames and then turned into ashes.

But his expression remained normal, and he showed no expression even when the flames burned his hands.

A book suddenly emerged from the ashes, identical to the one that had spontaneously combusted earlier.

Professor Dumbledore stuffed the book into the pocket of his robe and explained to Harry casually:

"We borrowed some of Fox's feathers as materials and made reference to the concept of Phoenix Nirvana to make this door key reusable."

"Isn't it a very clever design? I have been studying this for half a month."

"Professor, you are really free." Harley rolled her eyes.

"Obviously, all the problems can be solved by just applying a restoration spell."

"That's not what you said. If the constant restoration spell is applied, the magic of the portkey above will disappear."

Professor Dumbledore took out an old pocket watch from his pocket, took a look at it, and then stuffed it back.

"This kind of portkey spell that can penetrate all kinds of magical defenses in the Order of the Phoenix headquarters is still very complicated."

"Every time I repeat it, it takes me a lot of effort... We can discuss this kind of academic issue later, so let's go in now."

Listening to Professor Dumbledore's words, Harry began to think subconsciously and strode towards the living room.

Anyway, the spirit did not call the police, and since this was the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, the room was basically safe, so Harry didn't bother to investigate.

Then she was "surprised".

Harley opened the closed door, and just as she was about to walk in, streaks of smoke and ribbons suddenly spewed out.

She almost subconsciously wanted to lie back to avoid the unknown attack, and at the same time, the handle of the dagger had slipped from her cuff.

When fighting in close combat, the combat skills from assassins are always more useful than spells.

But after realizing through spirituality that these smoke and ribbons were not dangerous, Harley restrained her body's stress response and allowed the smoke to surround her, while the ribbons hung on her face.

A light figure rushed over through the smoke and plunged into Harley's arms.

"Happy birthday, Harry!" Hermione's voice sounded, and at the same time, through the smoke, she completed a sneak attack on Harry's cheek.

Harley's first thought was: "Damn it, I got attacked again! My level has really dropped seriously!"

"And I have written down this revenge, and I must avenge it tonight!"

A gust of wind blew, and the thick colored smoke was quickly divided and rose to the ceiling.

"Happy birthday!" When the smoke that obscured her vision disappeared, Hermione had completed her escape after the attack and was standing not far away with her hands behind her back.

At the same time, Harley heard more than a dozen cheerful voices coming from around her.

Sirius, Lupine, Fred, George and others were surrounding, holding various prank props in their hands.

"Professor Dumbledore said he would take you to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix today, and today happens to be your birthday, so we have prepared this surprise."

Fred said with a smile,

"Speaking of which, our dearest major shareholder hasn't had a birthday party yet, right?"

"At least those Muggles won't give Harry a birthday party. You know, they're afraid of wizards."

George said seriously,

"And how can we allow our major shareholder to lack such an unforgettable event as a birthday party?"

"So we must make up for this regret for the Lion Queen!"

Professor Dumbledore's voice also sounded at the right time.

"Harry, are you surprised?" He closed the door behind him with a smile on his face.

"When the Weasley twins and Sirius made the plan, Alastor thought such an event was unnecessary."

"But I think people are not machines, and everyone still needs to be emotionally active, so I agreed to their plan."

"Sirius even made a special trip to pick up Hermione. Molly also spent a long time carefully making a big cake."

"Everyone has spent a lot of effort preparing for this banquet. Fortunately, I successfully brought you here, otherwise I suspect that I would have been buried with cake by these naughty people."

"That's a reward for you, Professor!" Sirius couldn't help complaining,

"How much you like sweets, how can we not know?"

Professor Dumbledore smiled and did not refute.

"Everyone, please stop standing around outside." Mrs. Weasley walked out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron.

"I've already prepared most of the dishes, please come and help me."

Mrs. Weasley waved to Harry, with a smile on her face even though she was a little tired.

"And our protagonist today, Harley, I wish you a happy birthday!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley," Harry said sincerely, "Thank you everyone too."

…………

There were many people at this birthday party, and the entire Weasley family was here except Percy and Mr. Weasley.

According to others, after the Order of the Phoenix was rebuilt, both Bill and Charlie made work adjustments and returned to England, so they could appear here.

Now that the Order of the Phoenix has been rebuilt, they simply live here to avoid accidents.

Percy and Mr. Weasley are still working at the Ministry of Magic and need to wait until they get off work in the evening before they can come back.

Especially Percy, who is now a maniac about working overtime, and among all the employees of the Ministry of Magic, he is also among the most deeply involved.

After Mr. Crouch died in that manner, Percy was devastated and became somewhat depressed.

And after learning that Mr. Crouch secretly released Barty Crouch Jr. from Azkaban, his belief was shattered.

Percy even fell into deep pain and could only numb himself through work.

Later, Fudge originally tried to consolidate his position in the Ministry of Magic and talked to all employees.

But a series of news came out in the newspaper at the right time, plus news from within the Ministry of Magic, as well as the heavyweight photos published by Rita.

Therefore, Fudge's prestige among ordinary employees of the Ministry of Magic has dropped again and again, and not many people believe him anymore.

Percy's own magical attainments are not low, so when he saw the photo, he naturally recognized that it was not a forgery.

He was originally hesitant because of various rumors within the Ministry of Magic. After seeing the conclusive evidence, he recognized Fudge's nature and current situation with almost no ideological struggle, and naturally joined the Order of the Phoenix under the introduction of his father.

However, he and Mr. Weasley could not give up their work at the Ministry of Magic. After all, Professor Dumbledore needed someone to contact ordinary employees of the Ministry of Magic.

In addition to the Weasley family, there are many members who don't have their own jobs or Order of the Phoenix missions gathered here. Even Auror Kingsley happened to be taking a day off today, so they all came here.

"Harry, I haven't congratulated you in person for winning the International Wizarding Duel Competition!"

During the party, Hermione sat next to Harry and kept chatting.

"Especially in the past ten days, when you went to Nico Flamel to discuss alchemy, I couldn't even contact you."

"If Professor Dumbledore hadn't told us your whereabouts, I would have thought you were missing. After all, even the owl couldn't find you."

"Thank you for your congratulations." Harley spread her hands helplessly.

"Nico's house is just like this house. It has all kinds of magic. There is no way for an owl to get in or out."

It seems that Professor Dumbledore did not want too many people to know the connection between him, Harley and Grindelwald, so he gave a false but unfalsifiable reason.

And Harley followed the professor's wishes and stopped causing him any trouble.

"I guess so," Hermione nodded.

"You received a lot of birthday presents today, and they are all in your room upstairs now."

"Those owls that delivered gifts couldn't find the house that had the Loyalty Charm cast on it, so they kept wandering upstairs, attracting many Muggles to watch."

"In the end, it was Professor Lupine and Sirius who joined forces to solve everything."

"Also, I have one more thing to ask," the little witch's eyes suddenly revealed a dangerous aura, and her tone became more kind.

"In those photos published in the Linguist Daily, who is the witch standing next to you when you are holding the cup, who looks so familiar?"

Harley's smile faltered, and she didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

When he won the championship, held the trophy and took photos, even though ordinary British reporters did not go to the stadium due to pressure from Fudge.

But Harley still asked Professor Flitwick to help take some photos and sent them to Rita.

Now all relevant articles in the Daily Prophet were written by Rita. While continuing to promote Harley, it also caused trouble for Fudge.

But she seemed to have forgotten that she was taking photos with Furong at that time.

Later, when he and Fleur traveled around Europe, although he received many letters and responded to them every night, he seemed not to tell Hermione about Fleur's existence.

Oops, Aquaman's time management is going to have a big problem! The boat is going to capsize!
