Chapter 632 Let’s Go Through the Process First. Most of the Order of the Phoenix Is Here (1/2)
Chapter 632 Let's go through the process first. Most of the Order of the Phoenix is here.
The thought body snapped his fingers, and the two wands in Harry and Luna's hands flew into his hands.
"Return the items to their original owners. You don't need them very much now."
"Is this your wand?" Ron opened his eyes wide and slapped his forehead after realizing it belatedly. "I should have thought of it earlier. No wonder Bellatrix didn't test out any traces of the Stinging Curse.
Wait, what about Hermione's wand?"
"Of course it was replaced." The thought body said as a matter of course, "I'm not convenient to tell you the specific process."
"Since we are here, let's go through the process first!"
"What process?" Luna asked curiously.
The thought body raised his eyebrows, waved the black wand and wrote a contract in the air.
The content of the contract is confidential. The existence of the Shenming Temple cannot be told to anyone in any way, and no one can leave without Aaron's consent.
"We have no problem with the first one, but isn't the second one a bit too much to ask?" Harry frowned. He still had to find the Horcrux and couldn't stay here for too long.
"This is my rule." The thought body said without question, "I know you want to deal with Voldemort..."
"Don't say that name." Gregorovitch interrupted in panic, "They cast a spell on this name. As long as they read it out, the search team will know it."
"You can rest assured. The defense magic of the Temple of the Gods is very comprehensive. Even the Holy Magister can block it. Those crooked people in the search team can't find this place at all."
Gregorovitch was slightly relieved when he heard this.
The time he was locked up in the dungeon has become a psychological shadow that he will never be able to erase in his life. He doesn't want to be caught again.
"I'm not discussing with you. You must sign this contract." The thought body said seriously, "This place is too important. I must ensure its safety. There can't be any risk.
Harry, my goal is the same as yours. I also know what you are doing. As long as the plan is suitable, I won't stop you."
Harry nodded silently, "How to sign the contract? I don't have a wand."
The thought body waved his hand, and the contract in the air was spread flat on the ground. "Just write your name with your finger."
The six people looked at each other and wrote their names one after another.
"Okay, the contract is done, and the Shenming Temple will be fully open to you." The thought body said with relief, "Before that, you can meet old friends first."
"Old friends? Is there anyone else here?" Ron asked curiously.
"Of course, your sister is here."
"Ginny, she is here too." Harry's eyes flashed with joy. He hasn't seen his girlfriend for more than half a year. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't miss her.
"And Alastor Moody, Cedric Diggory, Percy Weasley..."
"Wait, did I hear that right?" Ron said in disbelief, "Doesn't Percy work for the Ministry? Is he willing to give up his position?"
"It turns out that your brother's ideology is stronger than you think. When I invited him to join, he immediately agreed.
When Fred and George saw him, their expressions were exactly the same as yours."
"Fred, George?" Harry murmured, and an idea that made him ecstatic could not help but emerge in his mind, "How many people are here?"
"Most of the Order of the Phoenix are here." The thought body said lightly, "I invited them one by one during the holidays. After all, I have more than 100 people here. It's much safer outside.
In addition to the Order of the Phoenix, the Temple of the Gods is also a refuge for Hogwarts students.
The Carrows are becoming more and more lawless. They can't control me, but for others... I will bring some students who can't bear it here to protect them. "
"No wonder you want us to sign a contract." Luna suddenly said, "If this place is exposed, it will be a huge blow to the forces resisting Voldemort."
"That's good to know." The thought body took them to the central round altar, and the dark blue magic carpet flew over automatically, "Come on! My elevator is much more advanced than the principal's office."
Everyone looked at each other and stood on the magic carpet nervously. The magic carpet rose at a constant speed and took them to the floating island.
The entire floating island was in full view, with a large conference table in the center and nothing else.
"Is it safe?" Ron asked uneasily.
"This floating island is the temporary meeting room of the Temple of the Gods. It took me a long time to build it."
"You built it?" Ron was even more worried.
"Don't insult my noble character with your suspicious eyes." The thought body snorted, "The runes and defensive magic circles on the island were all carved by me personally. The barrier protects the island, so people outside can't see what's going on inside, and can't hear any sound. It's difficult to detect with any props."
"Where are they?" Harry asked anxiously, "Didn't they say there are a lot of people here? Where are they?"
"Of course they are sleeping." The thought body said speechlessly, "It's normal for you to not know the time in the dungeon. It's not even six o'clock yet."
"As for where?" The thought pointed to the giant statue of Slytherin. "I turned that thing into a dormitory building. The members of the Order of the Phoenix are at the head, and the students of Hogwarts are arranged from the body to the ground according to their grade."
"It's quite exquisite." Dean smiled.
"Sit down first! I'll call them over." The thought sat at the main seat of the conference table and flicked the wind chime on the table.
Ding!
A crisp sound rang out.
The mouth of the Slytherin statue slowly opened, spitting out a wide and long stone staircase leading directly to the floating island.
After a while, Fred and George, wearing pajamas, entered the floating island.
"Aaron, you should at least pay attention to the time for the meeting!" Fred yawned drowsily, "I was sleeping soundly, and the alarm rang."
"Harry!" George came back to his senses when he saw Harry Potter, "You, Ron, you are here too?"
"Just arrived." Harry said embarrassedly, "Escaped from Malfoy Manor."
"Great, everyone will be happy to see you." Fred leaned close to his ear and smiled meaningfully, "You have to be mentally prepared, some people will be surprised."
"Who?" Ron asked curiously, "Is it mom and dad?"
"No, mom and dad and Bill are at Aunt Muriel's house. They and Lupin are taking care of Tonks together. They will come after she gives birth.
Anyway, you will know when you see him. When he brought us here, we thought we saw a ghost!"
"Ahem! Sit down first if you have nothing to do!"
"Got it, got it." Fred and George winked at Harry, and then found a seat and sat down casually.
Harry soon knew why Fred and George said that, because the person walking up the stone steps was his only relative, a relative who could make him feel the warmth of home.
"My God, he's still alive?" Ron said with wide eyes, "But how is this possible?"
"How is this impossible?" Harry was shocked, his green eyes became moist, but he stared at Sirius who was getting closer and closer, "He's still alive, I knew he wouldn't die so easily."
"Didn't you say that the meeting time was in the evening?" Sirius said speechlessly, but then he saw Harry and others.
"Harry?" Sirius was stunned for a moment. He had thought of many scenes of meeting Harry, but he really hadn't considered this situation and had no preparation at all.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that Harry would come?" Sirius said incoherently, "I, I... at least I could hold a welcome party or something."
"Haha!" The thought body rolled his eyes, "This is my territory, not your 12 Grimmauld Place. Why should I lend it to you for a welcome party?"
"The welcome party doesn't matter." Harry stared at Sirius closely, complaining and questioning while excited, "Why did you hide it from me? Do you know how tormented I was at that time?"
"I didn't want to hide it from you either." Sirius smiled bitterly, "It's all his fault. He made me sign a contract. I can't appear in other people's sight without his permission."
"Why?" Harry looked at the thought body in confusion.
"Teach you a lesson, a profound lesson.
If you weren't so impulsive at the time, you wouldn't have watched him die." The thought body said disdainfully, and Harry was speechless.
"Besides, do you think it's easy to save him? Do you know how much effort I put in?"
"Stop talking about this, okay?
I bought my life with money. Most of the wealth accumulated by the Black family for generations was given to..." Sirius paused, "Given to Gandalf, and Gandalf handed it over to you."
The thought body raised his eyebrows slightly. Fortunately, he had signed a contract with Sirius, Moody and others a few months ago, so he couldn't reveal his vest.
"Yes! It's a huge sum!" Fred said enviously, "It's filled up the vault."
"That's the reward I deserve." The thought body said confidently, "If you were asked to choose, which one would you choose, life or wealth?"
"Can I have both?" Fred laughed awkwardly.
"So Gandalf left him 10% of the gold. You Weasleys may not be able to match that even if you run the theater for a hundred years."
Hiss!
Hearing this, Fred and George took a breath.
"That's your fault, Sirius."
"Too greedy, no, that's greed."
Sirius:......
"We can talk about the past anytime. There's plenty of time to talk after everyone is here." The Thought Body said lightly.
"I'll explain it to you later." Sirius gave Harry a comforting look and sat down opposite him.
After a while, Percy and Cedric entered the floating island together, followed by the Longbottoms.
"Are you... the prefects of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?" Luna asked in surprise.
"Does anyone still remember me?" Cedric smiled warmly, "If I remember correctly, you should be from Ravenclaw, right?"
"Yes, senior."
"Harry, Ron." Percy simply nodded to the two of them. Although they didn't say anything, they were also happy that Percy had 'turned over a new leaf'.
"Are you Harry Potter?" a gentle voice asked.
Harry came back to his senses and looked at the Longbottoms, familiar yet a little strange.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something and opened his mouth in astonishment, "Are you Neville's parents?"
Ron was also unbelievable. They had seen them when they went to St. Mungo's Hospital two years ago, but at that time they were in the permanent ward of the Cursed Injury Department, with almost no chance of recovery.
Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom nodded, "James and Lily's child, you really look like your parents."
"Especially the eyes." Alice said, "It's exactly the same as Lily."
Harry scratched his head embarrassedly. It seemed that every elder who was kind to him would say such words, which always made him feel particularly warm in his heart.
"How did you recover?" Harry asked curiously.
"Aaron saved us." Frank said, "After leaving St. Mungo's, we were brought here to rejoin the organization fighting against the Dark Lord."
"How did you do it?" Luna looked at the thought body, "St. Mungo's Magic Hospital has not cured them for more than ten years."
"Tsk! I am from the Gaius family after all." The thought body raised its head proudly, "Although I have been temporarily expelled from the family, I still have the means to heal the soul.
The reason why Sirius can still stand here is because I protected his soul when he was hit by the Killing Curse."
"Thank you." Harry blurted out. These two words were definitely not enough to express his gratitude to Aaron, but he couldn't think of other words to describe his feelings for a while.
Aaron saved Sirius and the Longbottoms. His kindness to him and Neville was extraordinary. He directly gave them a home!
"You're welcome." The thought body's expression moved slightly, "I'm not a pushover. I saved them and they helped me deal with Voldemort. You can think of it as an equal exchange."
"Thank you anyway."
"Are all the people here?" Ron asked.
"There are two more." The thought body said helplessly, mainly because Harry and others came at a wrong time. It was less than six o'clock and many students were still asleep!
The two guys were older, so it was understandable that they came late.
A few minutes later, Alastor Moody and Aberforth Dumbledore entered the floating island meeting room.
"Mad-Eye." Harry looked at Moody excitedly, "Great, you look okay?"
Alastor's expression froze, and he said speechlessly, "Do you really hope that I'm okay?"
"That's not what I meant." Harry said embarrassedly, "Aaron came to the Burrow once last year. He said he saved you, but you have to stay in bed for a year or two. I thought..."
"Hehe!" Alastor rolled his eyes, "Do you believe everything he says?
I was overwhelmed by the Death Eaters' spell that night, and I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect him to heal me the next day."
"The next day?" Dean asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated!"
"Not exaggerated, not at all.
I performed an operation on him, and with the healing magic that Abe performed with all his strength, I barely saved him."
"Can't you just tell us directly at that time?" Ron said resentfully.
"I am happy, what's your business?" The thought body snorted coldly, "Don't forget how you treated me at that time. You even built a barrier to stop me."
Ron:......
