Chapter 763: Secret Mourning?

The dark wizards collectively reformed and became good people?

Harry and Ginny looked at each other in disbelief.

Ivan didn't mean to explain more. He couldn't say that the vicious dark wizards in Knockturn Alley were all imprisoned themselves. The remaining residents of Knockturn Alley were under the supervision of the law enforcers. You can only choose to be a good person, right?

That's too scary... and will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

However, Ivan had never thought that the Quibbler would choose to report on the riots in Knockturn Alley.

Despite the fact that this news is mixed with many fabricated rumors, most people who read the newspaper will only regard it as a joke.

But Voldemort, who was so angry, might not care so much. If he knew that the naysaying editor had randomly arranged himself in the newspaper, he would be so angry that the Death Eaters would arrest him or kill him directly.

Xenophilius is Luna's father. The other party may be in danger, so of course Ivan can't leave it alone.

Furthermore, Ivan had some selfish motives in suggesting that Luna's father hide in Knockturn Alley.

Gleason had just established the propaganda department, and he couldn't let him start from scratch.

Although Xenophilius and the articles he wrote were not very reliable, the Quibbler was a well-known magical newspaper in England, and it might be of use.

After thinking about Ivan's proposal for a while, Luna seriously agreed and planned to write a letter tonight.

Ginny was hesitant to speak. She always felt that Ivan's statement was unreliable, but in the end she didn't offer any more persuasion.

"By the way, Harry, have you been in any trouble recently? Or did Sirius and the others receive some news that someone is preparing to attack you?" Ivan turned his head to look at Harry and asked.

He had noticed something was wrong when he was at the wizard station just now. After all, the idle members of the Order of the Phoenix had all come together to protect Harry.

Ivan searched for the memories in his mind, and suddenly remembered that in the original time and space, Harry was attacked by dementors during the summer vacation. He had no choice but to use the God Guard. As a result, he was misunderstood by the Ministry of Magic as casting spells randomly outside the school and was almost taken away. magic wand…

However, under his gaze, Harry shook his head and spoke. "No, I had a good summer vacation. No one came to trouble me. It was Sirius and the others who insisted on coming."

Speaking of this, Harry seemed a little awkward. He didn't like the feeling of being protected by others when he came to school. It would make him mistakenly think that he was still a kid in the first or second grade.

Especially this summer, when he proposed to join the Order of the Phoenix to fight the Death Eaters, Mrs. Weasley and the members of the Order firmly rejected his request because of his young age.

"That means the mysterious man didn't send anyone to attack you?" Ivan was somewhat surprised and muttered to himself.

This is very different from the plot in his memory. The more the plot changes, the more distorted the information he has now will be, and it may even mislead him in turn.

For example, last semester he followed the plot carefully and used it as a clue to investigate. In the end, he found out that Moody and Crouch Jr. were just pretenses deliberately thrown by Voldemort to attract his attention. The real killer was the one who was under the Imperius Curse. Sirius……

With these precedents, Ivan immediately became vigilant and asked seriously. "Since you are not in trouble, why do Sirius and the others protect you so closely?"

"This is Professor Dumbledore's arrangement. The last order he sent was to ask dad and the others to protect Harry." Before Harry could reply, Ginny spoke up.

"Dumbledore sent... the last order?" Ivan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Ginny nodded and quickly explained to Ivan that their family had moved to a safe house during the summer vacation, and members of the Order of the Phoenix often came to attend meetings.

But Professor Dumbledore was the exception. He was nowhere to be seen in the past two months. All of Dumbledore's instructions were conveyed through Snape.

If Phoenix Fawkes hadn't sent letters from time to time, they would all have suspected that Dumbledore had been assassinated by Snape.

Because of this speculation, Sirius almost had a fight with Snape.

Hearing this, Ivan couldn't help but frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

Voldemort had just been resurrected two months ago. It stands to reason that Dumbledore should take some time this summer to discuss countermeasures with the core members of the Order of the Phoenix. No matter what happens, he will not disappear for a long time and let the Order of the Phoenix The members are suspicious of each other.

Could it be that... the secret is not mourning?

Ivan couldn't help but have this idea in his mind. Maybe Dumbledore had died long ago, but in order to confuse Voldemort and inspire everyone's confidence, only Snape knew the news.

But if that were the case, how could Dumbledore bother to do such a trivial matter as arranging the selection of prefects.

Ivan was certain that without Dumbledore's instructions, Professor McGonagall would have given him the position of Gryffindor prefect.

Or maybe Dumbledore is actually still alive, but his injuries are so severe that it is inconvenient to show up...

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Ivan's mind one by one, but on the surface Ivan's expression did not change at all, and he continued to talk calmly.

It's a pity that Harry and Ginny are both peripheral members, and the information they have learned is really pitiful, and they can't give him much help at all.

The four people in the carriage chatted all the way. For about an hour, Hermione and Ron, who had completed their patrol duties, also ran over, and the small carriage suddenly became lively.

Hermione talked endlessly about the candidates for prefects in each house this year. It is worth mentioning that Malfoy became the prefect of Slytherin, which made Harry and others feel very unhappy.

Although this was not beyond their expectations...

"Don't worry, Hermione and I are also prefects now. It's not that easy for Malfoy to cause trouble for us... Maybe I can still catch Crabbe and Goyle, or find a reason to put them in solitary confinement. Ron said confidently.

"You shouldn't abuse your authority, Ron!" Hermione glared at Ron sternly. She never thought Ron was a good candidate to serve as a prefect.

The train whizzed along northward, and when the sky was getting dark, the Hogwarts Castle in the distance came into view.

Ivan changed into his school uniform, took his suitcase and walked off the train. Harry, Hermione, Luna and others soon followed. They all got on the carriage pulled by the Thestral and wandered along the path. of sailing towards the castle.
