Chapter 399 Strategic Preparation

In the villa in the forest, Mike and Dumbledore were sitting around a round tea table, each with a cup of black tea in front of them, which was brought by the house-elf named Little Teacup, but at this moment, Mike and Dumbledore had no intention of drinking tea.

It had been nearly half an hour since Mike came to Dumbledore. After watching Harry's dream, Dumbledore was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Mike," Dumbledore's slightly serious voice came out, "What do you think of this matter?"

Mike glanced at Dumbledore in surprise. It stands to reason that with Dumbledore's IQ, he should have seen through Voldemort's plan a long time ago, but he still spoke out his analysis.

"Principal Dumbledore, I think this matter may just be a smokescreen by Voldemort."

"Oh?" "

Think about it. First of all, there is some connection between Voldemort's brain and Harry's brain, so Harry can see the memories in Voldemort's mind from time to time. But it should be noted that Harry's power is too far apart from Voldemort's. Harry doesn't even know the brain occlusion technique. In this case, I don't think the relationship between him and Voldemort is equal. In other words, due to the huge gap in strength, it is very likely that the relationship between Voldemort and Harry is only one-sided. Voldemort can explore Harry's brain unscrupulously, and those so-called memories that Harry said he saw are most likely what Voldemort deliberately let Harry see."

Mike said, rubbing his arms.

"If this hypothesis is true, then the last attack on Mr. Weasley was most likely done deliberately by Voldemort, in order to make Harry and us believe that Harry could see Voldemort's true thoughts in his dreams.

And this time the nightmare has come again, and the victim is Sirius Black, who is extremely important to Harry. If you were Harry, how would you deal with it this time after experiencing the tragedy last time?"

"I will do everything I can to save Sirius Black in person," Dumbledore murmured, "even at any cost."

"Frost!" Mike snapped his fingers and said, "You also said before that only Harry and Voldemort can take down the prophecy ball hidden in the Hall of Prophecy, so is it possible that Voldemort is unwilling to take the risk of going to the Ministry of Magic in person, so he wants to seduce Harry to take down the prophecy ball?"

"Pa pa pa, I have to say, Mike, you really surprised me." Dumbledore applauded and said, "Your idea is very consistent with mine. If that is really the case, then we can just sit back and wait for Voldemort to go to the Ministry of Magic in desperation!"

"Of course, if Voldemort is just bluffing, then it's fine. But what if Black is really caught?"

Dumbledore's smile froze, and after thinking for a moment, he said firmly:

"Then go save him!"

Mike nodded with a smile, and at this moment, the door of the villa was pushed open again.

Moody, dressed in hunting clothes, limped in front of the two people, picked up the cup of cold black tea in front of Mike and drank it all.

Then he slowly said:

"I went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place to check, and Black was not there. I asked the house elf named Kreacher, and the old guy lied to me that Black was just away from home. But I didn't believe it, so I tortured it. Finally, it told me that Bellatrix took Black away."

Mike frowned when he heard this. The development of things here was different from the original book.

In the original book, Black was not caught. Voldemort simply took advantage of Harry's temporary inability to contact Black to make Harry mistakenly believe that Harry was caught, which led Harry to go to the Ministry of Magic alone.

But now Black was actually caught!

Mike couldn't help but look at Dumbledore, and the other party stood up with a serious face and said loudly:

"Boys, it seems that we must take action."

As he said this, a burst of flames suddenly broke out in the air, and the fiery phoenix Fawkes suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

"Moody, you go and inform Lupin and the others to gather and prepare for battle now." Dumbledore ordered, "Mike, you go back to Hogwarts now to stabilize Harry, and don't let him leave Hogwarts. We will gather at No. 12 Grimmauld Place!"

"Hahahaha!"

Moody laughed excitedly, and then turned into a black mist and flew out of the villa at a very fast speed.

Mike nodded solemnly and summoned Shuke back to Hogwarts.

In the dormitory of Hogwarts, Harry and the other two were eagerly waiting for the news. When they saw Mike, they immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously.

In the face of the chaotic questions from everyone, Mike didn't care. He said sternly with a straight face: "Harry, your next task is to continue to complete the OWLS exam. You must not leave Hogwarts."

"But Black is being tortured. We must save him!"

"This is our business. You don't need to worry about it!"

"But..."

"Enough! It's decided!" Mike waved his hand impatiently, "Hermione, Ron, you must keep an eye on Harry for me, understand?"

Hermione and Ron looked tangled when they heard this. They were silent for a long time before nodding silently.

Seeing this, Mike no longer hesitated and left Hogwarts again.

But at the moment of leaving on Shuke's Apparition, looking at Harry who was so angry that his whole body was shaking, Mike's mouth corners rose.

Let Harry stay in Hogwarts and don't go anywhere?

What a joke!

The purpose of Voldemort's action this time is to attract Harry to the Hall of Prophecy to take down the prophecy ball. If Harry doesn't show up, how can those Death Eaters and even Voldemort himself show up?

So he never thought of asking Harry not to leave Hogwarts from the beginning to the end. What he did now was to irritate Harry so that Harry would lose his mind and go to the Ministry of Magic in person.

In order to prevent Harry from really staying in Hogwarts obediently, Mike even ordered Shuke and Beta to let them reach out and push Harry when Harry was hesitant!

As for Harry's safety, Mike had already thought about it. This time, he not only arranged Beta to follow Harry closely, but also Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix and the Los Santos Legion would protect Harry as a secondary goal.

If Harry still gets into trouble under such strong protection, then it can only be said that Harry is destined to have this disaster!

...

In 12 Grimmauld Place, Lupin and Tonks stared expressionlessly at the series of house-elves' heads on the wall of the entrance hall.

This is an ancient tradition of pure-blood families. House-elves who are too old to work will have their heads chopped off by their masters and then hung on the wall.

This is extremely cruel in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a kind of honor for house-elves. There are even many house-elves who are still able to work but beg their masters to chop off their heads in order to obtain this honor in advance.

As a long-standing pure-blood family, the Black family naturally has a "wall of honor" full of house-elves' heads, but because the Black family has almost completely declined.

So this "wall of honor" is mostly some old antiques, and no new heads have been added for a long time, but today, this "wall of honor" has a fresh face.

"Why did you kill him?"

Tonks frowned and looked at Moody who was smoking in the living room. Her hair turned black and purple at this moment, which indicated her bad mood.

Moody waved his hand nonchalantly and said,

"He lied to me."

"Just because of this?"

Tonks' voice suddenly rose, and her hair was changing colors very quickly.

"Are you talking to me, little girl?" Moody suddenly put out the cigarette butt in his hand, "Do you know what he did? Black was hiding here, but Bellatrix broke in, attacked and kidnapped him. The house elf could have sounded the alarm immediately to stop it, but he didn't! Just because Bellatrix was also a member of the Black family and one of his theoretical masters, he didn't do that! He is a traitor! Do you understand? A little girl who is still wet behind the ears!"

Moody roared while slowly approaching Tonks. Under his pressure, the latter could not help but slowly retreat, and the color of her hair turned gray and purple, which matched her panic expression very well.

"Enough, Moody!" Lupin stood in front of Tonks, "Did you call us here just to have a quarrel?"

"Humph, this little girl started it first!" Moody turned and returned to the living room, muttering as he walked, "It was the house-elf who asked me to kill him. I have never heard such a strange request in my life!"

Lupin shook his head and silently loosened his hand that had been holding the wand.

Tonks looked at Lupin with admiration at this moment, and she didn't even notice that her hair had turned pink.

At this moment, a huge ball of fire suddenly burst out from the fireplace in the living room. Moody was startled by this sudden change. He took out his wand and pointed it at the fireplace after a jump.

Under Moody's vigilant gaze, the flames gradually went out, revealing Mike and Arthur hiding inside.

Although the person who came was an acquaintance, Moody had no intention of putting down his wand. The magic eye in his eye socket kept turning. After a while, he put down his wand and said with a smile:

"Mike, you are finally here! Is this the helper you brought? The strength looks pretty good!"

"That's not all," Mike slowly made way and glanced at Moody, "Please make way, others are coming."

The living room of No. 12 Grimmauld Place was very large. Moody didn't think that the people Mike brought needed him to make room before they could stand.

However, in order to see what Mike was up to, he still made way as he was told.

Then, a scene that made him dumbfounded appeared!

The old fireplace in the living room began to spit out flames like a malfunction, and as the flames continued to spit out, wizards wearing black imitation military uniforms like Mike appeared in the living room. Every

time a wizard appeared, Moody's magic eye would stay on them to identify their identities, and when the fireplace finally quieted down again, the spacious living room was already full of people.

Moreover, the wizards brought by Mike were very disciplined. At this moment, they had spontaneously lined up in the form of a square formation!

"50 elite wizards whose magic power is comparable to that of Aurors! You really gave me a surprise!" Moody opened his mouth in surprise, "Oh! No! Their equipment is also excellent! This... This is a combat wand set, and there is also a curse warning pendant, a dragon skin vest! Merlin's beard, and you even equipped them with an instant messaging badge! This is a high-end product that only the Auror troops will be equipped with!"

Moody chattered non-stop, and his eyes became extremely hot.

Hearing this, Mike also smiled. Now, these wizards in front of everyone were all carefully selected by him. These people not only learned the conventional high-damage spells including the Killing Curse, but also passed Arthur's physical training and actual combat tests. In terms of strength, they will definitely not lose to ordinary novice Aurors.

And as Moody said, Mike also equipped them with extremely advanced equipment, which made them in no way inferior to the combat troops of the Ministry of Magic in all aspects.

There is no need to worry about their loyalty. While enjoying the huge investment and high treatment given by Michael, these people have also signed an unbreakable oath with Michael. They have already sold their lives to Michael.

At this time, Lupin and Tonks, who were not far away, also came over and looked at these troops curiously.

Seeing them, Moody snorted coldly:

"Humph! Now I finally have some confidence in these actions! Otherwise, relying on some werewolves and little girls, we are afraid that we will all die in the Ministry of Magic tonight!"

"You!"

Hearing this, Tonks was furious and opened her mouth to refute, but Lupin beside her held her hand tightly.

Lupin shook his head. He knew very well that Moody had always been hostile to him, which was probably related to his identity as a werewolf.

He even wanted to provoke him just now, let him take action first and then teach him a lesson.

But Moody obviously underestimated Lupin's tolerance. After wandering outside for so many years, Lupin had suffered so many insults that it was almost unimaginable. Moody's level alone could not make him angry.

Mike looked at the three people who seemed to be at odds with him, and his eyebrows unconsciously frowned.

He released his magical perception to search the entire villa, and after not finding anyone else, Mike said angrily:

"Did the Order of the Phoenix only send you three?"

"Of course not!" Moody suddenly turned his head, but his magic eyes were still fixed on Lupin, "Kingsley and the others are already lying in ambush at the Ministry of Magic. When we get there, they will make peace with us."

Mike nodded expressionlessly, and his emotions finally eased up a bit.

To be honest, although Lupin and Moody were strong, they were nothing in the eyes of himself, Arthur, and the fifty elite wizards behind them.

If Dumbledore really only brought a few of these big cats and small cats, Mike would have to reconsider the content of the cooperation with the Order of the Phoenix.

While Mike was thinking about the problem, a ball of crimson flames suddenly exploded again in the crowded living room...
