Chapter 500 Lupin's Letter
Ron stared at the newspaper for a long time until Hermione reminded him that the Ministry of Magic had dropped all charges against Percy and he had been released!
Although Ron didn't like Percy, he was genuinely overjoyed to see the result.
Percy has been locked up for several months since the end of the Triwizard Tournament last school year. His family is extremely worried, especially his mother, who has secretly cried many times, as he knows.
"Great!" Ron jumped up from his seat. "I'm going to write to Mom; she'll be so happy!"
After saying that, he ran towards the owl shed outside.
"Slow down, Ron, you can use Hedwig," Harry called from behind.
However, by then, Ron had already run out of the auditorium and disappeared outside the door.
“I’ll go after him,” Harry said, standing up. “Hedwig knows the way to the Burrow and will definitely be faster than the other owls.”
Then he ran out too.
As the two ran out of the auditorium one after the other, Fred and George, who had just been celebrating, frowned slightly and looked thoughtful.
"I don't think this has anything to do with whether owls know their way around or not," Fred said thoughtfully, looking in the direction where the two had last disappeared.
"Do they really think that Dad, who works at the Ministry of Magic, would be completely unaware of something this important?"
Hermione covered her forehead with her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
Indeed, this matter was even reported in the Daily Prophet. How could Mr. Weasley, who worked at the Ministry of Magic, not know about it?
And take another look at the photo in the newspaper—Percy being helped out of the Ministry of Magic by someone, isn't that Mr. Weasley?
"Maybe it's because he's too happy," Celen said.
"But thinking about it calmly, it doesn't seem like there's anything to be happy about." George sat back down and slowly spread butter on his bread.
"I only realized how wonderful life could be after Percy stopped hanging around me."
"Yeah," Fred sighed. "We won't get yelled at for just coming down the stairs."
"And you don't have to hear the name of Mr. Barty Crouch and his deeds at least thirty times a day."
Fred and George grew increasingly upset as they talked. They suddenly realized that Percy's presence seemed to bring them no benefit whatsoever, but rather only trouble.
"Do you think we should write a letter to Fudge?"
"Make him lock Percy up again—"
"As long as he's alive, that's enough."
"It's possible, but you should also be prepared to be planted in the ground like potatoes by Mrs. Weasley."
Xilun shrugged and said, "Don't worry, we're friends, I'll—"
"Plead for us?" Fred said, looking moved.
"No—" Siron shook his head. "I will persuade Mrs. Weasley to plant you together."
"Let's forget about it then." The two of them pursed their lips, but also gave up the idea of writing to Fudge, since they didn't really want to play the role of Potato.
Xilun smiled and poured himself a glass of milk.
But just as he was about to drink, another owl flew over and dropped a letter in front of him.
Xilun didn't pay much attention at first. Recently, he had received many letters asking about the wand. Sometimes he would receive more than a dozen letters while eating breakfast. There was nothing strange about it.
It wasn't until Celen saw the name on the envelope—Remus Lupin.
After waiting for several dozen days, Lupin finally replied to him.
Xilun quickly opened the envelope and pulled out a rough piece of parchment. Judging from its texture, it was probably the cheapest kind, and it even felt a bit prickly to the touch.
Dear Siren:
I apologize for replying so late. My current location is quite remote, and I couldn't find an owl to deliver mail. Fortunately, I met a very brave little owl today.
Enough with the small talk. Regarding your question, I can only say that your guess is correct. A month and a half ago, Headmaster Dumbledore gave me a mission (sorry, I can't say what the mission was), but before I accepted the mission and set off for here, three people had already been brutally murdered by the escaped Death Eaters: Casper, Ignatius, and Karkaroff.
You're probably familiar with Karkaroff; yes, he's the principal of Durmstrang.
Like the other two, he was once a Death Eater, and both of them escaped trial by the Ministry of Magic more than a decade ago by betraying other Death Eaters.
These three attacks had a great impact on the wizarding world, especially on Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang. Even Dumbledore visited the site of the attack.
But for some reason, the Ministry of Magic deliberately concealed this information.
By the way, I've actually been hesitant to tell you all this. Molly and Arthur think you're just kids and shouldn't be exposed to those terrible things, but I believe you have the right to know the truth.
Please give my regards to Sirius and Harry—Merlin's beard, I can't believe Sirius can still be a professor.
Perhaps because they had traveled to Egypt together the previous year, Remus Lupin did not treat Siron as a child. The tone of his letter was as if he were communicating with a peer, and he directly wrote down all the information he knew.
However, judging from Lupin's last words, Dumbledore doesn't seem to have told him about Sirius's problem.
-
Perhaps they haven't found the right opportunity yet.
Siron closed the parchment, and just as they had guessed, the outside world was not as calm as described in the Daily Prophet.
All three were killed, and they were all Death Eaters. Clearly, compared to the Aurors, they hated their own people who had betrayed them even more.
Karkaroff—Sirlen stared at the name mentioned in the letter.
He remembered that Durmstrang was in Eastern Europe, quite far from Britain, and that Karkaroff was probably hiding there on purpose out of fear of retaliation.
But unexpectedly, he was still killed.
However, Siron didn't care about Karkaroff's life or death; what he cared about was what the Death Eaters would do next.
First, Lupin was sent out on a mission by Dumbledore, and then Hagrid also left the school.
If Siren is not mistaken, the Order of the Phoenix should have already resumed operations.
This is hardly good news. Given Dumbledore's judgment, if it were just a few Death Eaters, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Is it Voldemort?
But Harry has stayed in the castle the whole time and hasn't gone anywhere. He probably hasn't fully come back to life yet.
Siren thought back to last night when Harry said Sirius wanted to take him to the Shrieking Shack. Could it be that Voldemort couldn't wait any longer?
Heron didn't know, so he decided to leave the problem to Dumbledore.
