Chapter 680 Returning From the Fire

Professor McGonagall and Harry waited anxiously in the Headmaster's room.

On the other side of the double-way mirror, Sirius and Moody did not leave, and even Lupin and Tonks, who also stayed at the Black ancestral home, appeared in the mirror.

On the walls of the office, the principals of the past generations no longer pretended to be asleep, but all gathered together and whispered.

A flash of fire appeared out of thin air, and accompanied by a singing sound, Dumbledore appeared in front of everyone holding a phoenix and a cat.

"Meow~"

(=`=)

Fish immediately pounced on Professor McGonagall...

Then Professor McGonagall lifted her in front of her by the scruff of her neck.

"Meow~"

(=ω=)

The cat curled up obediently, its ears drooped, and its big black eyes stared at Professor McGonagall, looking pitiful.

Professor McGonagall, who had already understood Fisher's character clearly, would not be confused by Maomao's appearance.

But she also knew that now was not the time to teach this little fur cat a lesson, so she could only give Fei Xu a vicious look, and then said harshly: "I'll teach you a lesson later!"

Professor McGonagall placed Fish on the table, then turned to look at Dumbledore and asked, "How is the situation?"

Harry on the side, Sirius and others in the mirror, and all the past principals on the wall also turned their attention to him.

Dumbledore smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "We were tricked by Voldemort..."

He briefly recounted what happened during his trip to the Ministry of Magic, then looked at Harry and said, "Voldemort guessed that after I received Harry's notice, he would probably send someone to the Ministry of Magic to investigate the news. , so he asked the Death Eaters to notify Fudge in advance... His original intention was probably just to weaken the Order of the Phoenix, and me going there in person is probably what he would be most happy to see..."

Dumbledore shook his head again and smiled bitterly, "If Fudge hadn't been eager to deal with me tonight and jumped out as soon as Fish and I got out of the elevator, but showed up after we entered the Department of Mysteries, things would have been in trouble. . But the current situation... there is still room for maneuver... but if we want to prevent Voldemort from infiltrating the Department of Mysteries in the future, I am afraid it will be more troublesome."

"If Fudge had delayed taking action, we wouldn't have been caught, meow!"

(`ω)

After hearing what he said, Maomao immediately quit.

"Fish discovered Fudge and the others as soon as they got out of the elevator, and Fish also reminded Albus of you, meow! It's you who didn't react!"

"Ah... that's right." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "Fish followed me this time, and he really got it right. He will also be needed to help me through the subsequent Wizengamot trial. Getting through the hard times.”

Maomao's eyes suddenly lit up, "So Fish is right to follow me, meow?!"

(ω)

"That's right," Dumbledore nodded: "Whether I can get rid of Fudge's accusation in the future depends on this witness."

Fish immediately turned to look at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall glared at him angrily, and then reluctantly nodded her head slightly, as a promise not to pursue the cat's previous behavior in the future.

At this moment, Harry, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"What exactly is in the Department of Mysteries? Why does Voldemort want it?" He stared at Dumbledore and asked softly: "That thing is still related to me, right?"

Dumbledore sighed and replied: "Yes... This matter started sixteen years ago... It was a cold, wet night, and I was in a room above the Pig's Head pub. , to meet someone who is applying for a teaching position in the divination class..."

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but snorted softly when she heard this. She had always looked down upon divination, and she was even more disdainful of Professor Trelawney.

Dumbledore glanced at her and continued: "That person is your current Divination professor, Sybill Trelawney. She is the great-great-granddaughter of a very famous and talented prophet. But the interviewer The result was very disappointing. I felt that she had no talent at all, so I rejected her application..."

"But isn't Professor Trelawney now...?" Harry asked doubtfully.

"Because when I was about to leave, Sybil made a prophecy, a prophecy that was completely different from her lame performance in the interview." Dumbledore looked at Harry, "I think you will not be unfamiliar with that scene. ”

Harry immediately recalled Professor Trelawney's strange state during the final exam of the third-year Divination class.

"There was an eavesdropper present at the time, but he was discovered when the prophecy was halfway through, and he was thrown out of the room." Dumbledore continued: "But Voldemort also knew the prophecy. The first half of the story, that’s why he wanted to kill you as an infant, causing him to lose all his power.”

He did not tell Harry the specific content of the prophecy, and Harry did not ask. After all, he might be monitored by Voldemort at any time, so it was normal for Dumbledore not to tell him.

"So after Voldemort returns, he wants to find out the full content of this prophecy in order to find a way to kill you." After finishing speaking, Dumbledore sighed again.

"What does this have to do with the Department of Mysteries?" Harry asked again after figuring out the general situation.

"The Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic is a very magical place. When a prophecy appears in England...I am talking about a real and clear prophecy, a prophecy ball will be formed in the Prophecy Hall of the Department of Mysteries. Only the objects involved in the prophecy can be taken down from the shelf in the Prophecy Hall," Dumbledore explained.

"Is Voldemort an idiot? The prophecies are all lies."

(ω)

After listening to the story, Maomao scratched his head in confusion.

Fish and Professor McGonagall are very similar in their attitudes towards prophecies. If Professor McGonagall would at least approve of the prophecies in the Department of Mysteries, then Maomao has a negative attitude towards all prophecies...

Especially after he and Professor Trelawney teamed up to deceive Umbridge.

"Actually, that prediction is quite accurate." Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders and defended Professor Trelawney a little.

However, he did not get too entangled in this matter. He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's the situation. It's very late now. Let's go back and rest quickly."

Then he reminded again: "Don't forget Occlumency practice, Harry."

Harry nodded solemnly, then said good night to Sirius and others in the mirror, and left the principal's office with a solemn expression...

The information he received tonight was too much and too complicated, and he had to go back and sort out his thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, Fish turned into a cat and chased after him, then jumped on Harry's shoulder and let him carry her back to the dormitory.

Unlike Harry who was in a heavy mood, Fish was still in a good mood tonight.

Because not only did he gain a new territory, but he also heard Dumbledore tell a fairly interesting story, and more importantly...

Even though he was in trouble, he would not be lectured by Professor McGonagall.

Nothing makes a cat happier than this!

In the original book, after the prophecy ball was shattered, Dumbledore told Harry the full content of the prophecy...

According to Dumbledore, because Harry's heart is full of love, and Voldemort hates the power of love, he cannot inhabit Harry's body. In his words, "the tongue is stuck to the frozen steel, and the flesh is touching the fire." .

Because of this, Harry no longer needs to learn Occlumency, and after the sixth part, Harry's forehead indeed no longer hurts...

Rowling has the final say on HP's worldview, so I tentatively agree with this statement.

So before that, was there no love in Harry's heart? Or is it that the meaning of Sirius's death is to make the power of love in Harry's heart skyrocket?

But in the original book, when Sirius died, Harry's scar still hurt, and after Voldemort escaped, he controlled Harry to provoke Dumbledore.

Although it can be said that Harry was too weak at the time, so Voldemort could easily control him, but as mentioned before, Voldemort would be very painful when "connecting" to Harry, so no matter the difficulty, Voldemort could actually hold back This kind of pain came to establish a connection with Harry, and even temporarily controlled him... Then why did Dumbledore rest assured that Harry would not have to learn Occlumency?

In short, there are too many unreasonable things in the last plot of the fifth part, and it is not a small problem with numbers or time. In my opinion, it can be regarded as a logical flaw.
