Chapter 624 Lovegood, Who Lost His Daughter, Saves Luna (1/2)

Chapter 624 Lovegood, who lost his daughter, finds a way to save Luna

Xenophilius glanced out the window, then stood up, picked up the tray and walked towards the spiral staircase.

"The tea is cold, I'll be back soon, wait a moment."

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and Harry finally spoke: "Sir, what do you think of the Deathly Hallows?"

"It really exists." 'Gandalf' took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring, "The Invisibility Cloak is in your hand, and the mysterious man is looking for the Elder Wand. As for the Resurrection Stone..."

"It is impossible for a stone to resurrect the dead." Hermione said stubbornly, "The second brother in the story committed suicide in despair because he couldn't save his lover."

"Maybe he didn't collect the Elder Wand and the Invisibility Cloak." Harry said seriously, "Collecting the Elder Wand, the Invisibility Cloak and the Resurrection Stone is the complete Deathly Hallows, isn't it?

Dumbledore left that mark, he Maybe he wants me to find the Deathly Hallows, so that I can fight the You-Know-Who to the death. "

Hearing this, Hermione laughed angrily, "Okay, even if you guessed it right.

Let's not talk about the Elder Wand for now. We can't go to find Grindelwald. He is more dangerous than the You-Know-Who.

What about the Resurrection Stone? We don't have any clues about where the Resurrection Stone is. "

"Peverell, yes, the Peverell family." Harry suddenly thought of something, "Dumbledore showed me a lot of memories related to the You-Know-Who, including the Peverell family."

"What exactly is it?" 'Gandalf' asked curiously. He knew that Dumbledore had collected a batch of memories, but there were many that he had never seen.

"The mysterious man's grandfather, Marvolo Gaunt, said he was a descendant of Peverell.

There is a black stone on their ancestral ring, which is the Horcrux. When he showed it off to the officials of the Ministry of Magic, he said that it had the Peverell emblem. That stone must be the Resurrection Stone."

"But wasn't the stone broken?" Hermione said doubtfully, "You have seen that Horcrux. There is a black crack on the ring. Does it still work?"

"Maybe it works." 'Gandalf' said lightly, "I remember saying before that there was something in the Golden Snitch he gave you. What is hidden in it?"

"Resurrection Stone, it must be the Resurrection Stone." Harry was surprised and happy, "I may have two Deathly Hallows in my hand. As long as I find the Elder Wand..."

"Don't think too much. I'm sure Dumbledore doesn't want you to look for the Hallows." 'Gandalf' said earnestly, because the Elder Wand had been arranged by Dumbledore to Voldemort.

"Why do you say that?" Harry asked puzzledly, "He left the symbol of the Deathly Hallows."

"It may just be to tell you some simple truths.

For example... humility."

Harry:......

"Okay! Whether it is the Hallows or the Horcruxes, we will talk about it later. I think we have to leave this place first." Ron picked up his backpack, "I don't want to drink any more Gordigan tea, whether it is cold or hot."

Harry and Hermione did not object, but looked at Gandalf together. After all, he seemed to think that Xenophilius had a problem before.

"We must leave, but we still have to deal with some things before we leave." Gandalf said, and then raised his staff and pointed it at the printing press. A copy of "The Quibbler" magazine flew into his hand.

"Let's go!"

Several people went down the spiral staircase to the first floor. Xenophilius was staring out the window, completely unaware that Harry and others were behind him.

"Thank you, sir." Hermione said politely.

"You forgot to boil water." Ron glanced at the stove and saw that there was not even a kettle on it. "It's for making tea."

"Yes, is it?" Xenophilius smiled awkwardly and walked towards the kettle. "I'm so confused."

"It doesn't matter. We should leave anyway." Hermione said.

"No, no." Xenophilius yelled and slammed the table, then quickly blocked the door.

He turned and looked at the few people, with shame in his eyes, pleading and a glimmer of hope, "I'm counting on you."

"I understand very well." 'Gandalf' took out the latest issue of "The Quibbler" and pointed the cover at Harry and the other two.

Seeing his bounty, Harry couldn't hold back, "Sir, you..."

"I didn't want to, but they took Luna away." Xenophilius almost collapsed, "Just because you supported me in the magazine, they took my Luna, my Luna..."

Xenophilius had tears in his eyes, staring at the scar on Harry's forehead, "I don't know how she is, but they may return her to me, as long as I..."

"Hand Harry over to them?" 'Gandalf' shook his head, "That's indeed a good way, it's faster than using a magazine to express your position, and you can also get a lot of bounty."

"I don't want any money, I just want my Luna." Xenophilius looked bitter, looking at the four people coldly, "I must save her, I can't live without Luna, none of you are allowed to leave."

"Mr. Lovegood, Luna wouldn't want her father to betray her friend."

"So?" Xenophilius shouted, "I can't pretend I don't know anything, I only have Luna, I can do anything for her."

Harry suddenly thought of his mother, she was in the same mood when Voldemort was about to kill him.

"Mr. Lovegood, please get out of the way." Harry tried to make his voice softer, "We don't want to hurt you."

"No." Xenophilius looked crazy, "They will be here soon, I have exhausted their patience."

"Harry, we have to leave here quickly." Ron said.

"Don't be so anxious." 'Gandalf' opened the wine flask on his waist and handed it to Xenophilius, "How about a drink to calm down first?

I think we can talk. There is always a gentle way to solve the problem."

"No time to talk, sir." Hermione said anxiously, "Didn't you hear him? The search party will be here soon."

"They can't get there." 'Gandalf' found a chair to sit down, then slowly opened the window, and a crow flapped its wings and flew in, standing steadily on his shoulder.

"How could it be?" Xenophilius slumped down in disbelief, his eyes obviously dimmed a lot.

"When I saw the change of position in "The Quibbler", I knew that Mr. Lovegood would sell us out.

Fortunately, I was more careful and intercepted the crow in time when I saw it flying towards the Ministry of Magic."

"Great." Ron gave a thumbs up, and Harry and Hermione also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, when did you do it?" Hermione asked curiously, "I remember you were with us all the time."

"Well...silent spells are a technical job, but for a great wizard of my age, it's just a basic operation." 'Gandalf' said a little proudly.

In fact, when he saw the crow flying past the window, he decisively used the charm skill.

Although the distance was a little far, it was not difficult to hypnotize an ordinary crow.

Xenophilius gritted his teeth and struggled to pounce on 'Gandalf', aiming at the crow in his hand.

As long as the letter was delivered, he would stop at least one person even if he risked his life, so that at least Luna could be exchanged back.

Boom!

'Gandalf' knocked his wand heavily, and a white shock wave knocked Xenophilius back to the corner.

"I think you need to calm down."

"Quickly imprison!" Hermione waved her wand decisively, conjuring a rope to tie up Xenophilius' hands and feet. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Lovegood, but you really need to calm down."

"Ah!" 'Gandalf' took a sip of wine, cleared a clean space, and moved Xenophilius to a chair with telekinesis.

Harry and the other two saw this and sat down.

"Now that we have figured out the meaning of the Deathly Hallows, our trip has not been in vain.

Then let's discuss how to solve the problem in a gentle way."

"Are you still willing to help me?" Xenophilius looked at them in surprise and asked.

"Luna is our best friend." Hermione said immediately, "It's not that we don't worry about her, but we can't sacrifice her in vain."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Ron said hesitantly, "Luna will definitely be caught by them, but her life shouldn't be in danger at the moment.

But Harry...if he is caught by the search team, let alone tomorrow's sun, I'm afraid he won't even see today's moon."

Harry's mouth twitched. Why did this sound weird?

"Then how do we save Luna?" Xenophilius asked anxiously.

"It may be difficult to rescue him. We can't let you hand over Harry." 'Gandalf' said solemnly, and then changed the subject, "But we can make Luna's situation safer."

"How to do it? As long as she is safe and not tortured.

I will think of a way to deal with the rest later."

"I have three ideas." 'Gandalf' did not keep the father waiting, "The first is to hand over Harry..."

"Wait, sir." Ron couldn't help interrupting, "Why don't I understand! Didn't you say that Harry can't be handed over?"

"Then listen to me." 'Gandalf' glared at him and continued, "Mr. Lovegood, you go and send a letter to the Ministry of Magic, saying that you have captured Harry Potter.

After they take him away, you two can intercept him halfway.

This way, Mr. Lovegood will not be responsible. Whoever escorts Harry will be unlucky. If you are lucky, it is not impossible for Luna to be released."

Hearing this, Harry clenched his hands and remained silent.

The risk is a bit high, but Luna is their friend, and Mr. Lovegood lost Luna because he supported him. If he can get her back...

"No." Hermione firmly opposed.

"You can take a risk and give it a try." Harry said.

"Who knows how many people will come?" Hermione retorted, "What if Ron and I can't rescue her?"

"There won't be too many people." Xenophilius said awkwardly, "After Luna was captured, I tried every way to rescue her and lied to them many times.

I think they don't want to believe me anymore. Even if I say I caught Harry Potter, the Ministry of Magic will at most send two or three people to confirm the situation."

"You are too..." Ron looked strange, "Too careless!"

"This is called worrying and confusion, Weasley." 'Gandalf' was also a little speechless. His daughter was in the hands of the Ministry of Magic, and you dared to mess with her mentality like this. No one else can do that.

"Two or three people, right? What if they Apparate and take you away?" Hermione asked, "Can we break into the Ministry of Magic to save you?"

Harry was stunned for a moment. He had not thought of this possibility.

"Then there is the second way." 'Gandalf' spread his hands, "You still inform the Ministry of Magic that Harry Potter is with you.

After the two or three people who confirm the situation come, you fight with Harry Potter, but still accidentally let him be rescued by his companions."

"Will this work?" Ron asked with some doubt, "What if, I mean what if!

What if something unexpected happens during the fight, and a killing curse hits Harry, then it's all over."

"The mysterious man wants to kill him personally, no one will use the killing curse."

"It's just what if!"

Harry couldn't help but hold his forehead and shook his head. This best friend can't be kept, can't he hope for something good from him?

"We can take a chance on this one." Hermione pondered, "At least it's safer than the first one, and we have more or less the initiative."

"Although they didn't catch Harry, they at least saw your loyalty to the Ministry of Magic.

Maybe they won't release Luna immediately, but as long as you don't make trouble, they won't keep her for too long."

Xenophilius nodded repeatedly, "This is fine, I promise to stay at home quietly, and all work on The Quibbler will stop immediately."

"Sir, do you have a third idea?" Hermione asked.

"The third one is simpler and more brutal." 'Gandalf' took a deep breath, and then opened a space magic circle, and a pile of gold coins fell from it.

Harry and others looked at the pile of gold coins emitting a golden luster, and their brains suddenly crashed, and their language functions were also disordered.

They all knew that 'Gandalf' inherited the Black family's legacy, but this huge amount of money, no, to be more precise, a huge amount of money still scared them.

They have never seen so much money in their lives, enough for them to spend for more than ten years.

"Sir, this, this, this..." Xenophilius was incoherent, "What does this mean?"

"Just throw money at her!" 'Gandalf' laughed, "One hundred thousand gold Galleons, as for the source... the wealth accumulated by the Lovegood family for generations.

The current Minister of Magic, Sinius, is just a straw puppet, and the Ministry of Magic has never lacked corruption.

This money is enough for you to bribe those people. Although I am not sure whether they will release Luna, at least she can be guaranteed to be safe."

"But I may not be able to pay back this money in my lifetime." Xenophilius was moved, but still felt that he should make it clear.

"I like that little girl very much." 'Gandalf' stroked his beard, "Aaron Gaius danced with her a few years ago, and she saved Aaron from embarrassment at that time. I don't mind helping him repay this favor.

If Mr. Lovegood feels sorry, when I need "The Quibbler" in the future, just help me write a few manuscripts."
