Forbidden Forest Wolf King
Susan's team in charge of the Dragon Eye Group has always been short-staffed.
There are 12 members of the Sleeping Dragon Society who are about to graduate. Assuming that the ones Gulie mentioned can all get their desired jobs, there are still 3 left. Although it doesn't sound like many, they can still be of great help. After all, in addition to their duties in the Sleeping Dragon Society, Susan and the others are also students and have the burden of their studies. These three graduates, on the other hand, can devote themselves to the Sleeping Dragon Society's intelligence work without any distractions.
Well, hopefully this will lighten Susan's burden a bit.
Having resolved matters concerning Rita and the Ministry of Magic, Skylar began to consider his next move.
Referring to Dumbledore's intelligence network—he has Centaur and Hagrid's pets in the Forbidden Forest, a portrait of Everard in the Ministry of Magic, Florian Fortescue in Diagon Alley, Aberforth in Hogsmeade, Mundungus in Knockturn Alley, and a portrait of Derwent in St. Mungo's's...
Therefore, it is obvious that the intelligence network should focus on the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, Knockturn Alley, and St. Mungo's's next areas.
"Is there any movement at Silver Fang's place in the Forbidden Forest?" Skylar asked.
Silver Fang was Skylar's pet Silver Wolf. After Skylar modified its bloodline, it could use low-level wind magic and speak human language. Later, Skylar released it into the Forbidden Forest, allowing it to return to the freedom of the world.
"Silver Fang has also connected with us, using Two-Way Mirror," Susan said. "Silver Fang hasn't disappointed you; it has unified the wolf pack, becoming the king of the Forbidden Forest's giant wolves, and has subdued the remaining Acromantula. Except for the areas occupied by the Centaur Tribe, almost everything is Silver Fang's territory—"
"I can say with great confidence," Susan said with a hint of pride, "That we have complete control over everything in the Forbidden Forest, and no matter what happens, it won't escape our notice."
Skylar smiled with satisfaction. As expected of his Silver Fang, he felt a parental pride in Silver Fang's achievements.
"Silver Fang has sent two important pieces of information—" Susan said earnestly, "First, Dumbledore seems to have discovered the unusual activity in the Forbidden Forest. He's contacted Silvanus Kettleburn, the former professor of Care of Magical Creatures who retired from Hogsmeade Village..."
"Kettleburn has already established several monitoring stations in the Forbidden Forest to monitor the animals, and it's only a matter of time before we see changes in the wolf pack," Susan said.
Skylar narrowed his eyes slightly. As expected of Dumbledore, even while busy dealing with the Ministry of Magic's suppression and gathering intelligence on Voldemort and Grindelwald, he still managed to keep an eye on the Forbidden Forest. His strategy was truly flawless.
"Leave Kettleburn to me..." Skylar's eyes flashed with coldness as he said in a chilling voice, "I'll deal with him. You said the first thing, so what's the second?"
"The second thing..." Susan frowned slightly, carefully choosing her words, "Because of the monitoring station in Kettleburn, the wolf pack has been migrating these past few days... and then they discovered what appear to be ancient writing in a hidden cave..."
"What?" Even Skylar had to exclaim in surprise this time.
Ancient ruins in the Forbidden Forest?
Skylar hadn't forgotten that Gryffindor's Chamber was in the Forbidden Forest!
It really came to me without any effort!
Skylar remembered Aquila saying that the key to the Chamber of Secrets of Secrets in Gryffindor lay with the Centaur, but the Centaur had always disliked wizards getting close, and rash action would be dangerous, which was why his plan to explore the Chamber of Secrets in Gryffindor had been shelved.
Looking back now, Gryffindor probably told the Centaur Tribe the location of the Chamber of Secrets of Secrets and asked Centaur to keep it a secret until a young wizard who could pass his test appeared.
Silver Fang's wolf pack inadvertently discovered the location of the Chamber of Secrets, saving Skylar this trouble.
[Clues to "Gryffindor Chamber of Secrets" obtained!]
Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Skylar calmly said, "Okay, I understand. I will investigate this ruin."
"My business in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley is just getting started, so there's no need to rush to expand my intelligence network there. Just have Rita keep an eye on things there."
Susan nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Aside from those imprisoned in Azkaban, the rest of the Death Eaters should all be captured by us, so there's no need to worry about them..." Skylar said casually, as if the Death Eaters' existence was irrelevant. Then he added in a deep voice, "On the contrary, we should pay more attention to Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix— "
"As far as I know, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is in Grimmauld Place, London. My maternal grandmother's ancestral home in Black was donated to the Order of the Phoenix by my spendthrift cousin..." Sherlin then told Susan the names of the Order of the Phoenix members mentioned in the original story from her previous life.
"You need to focus on Lupin and Mundungus. Although they are from the lower rungs of society, this actually allows them access to information outside our intelligence network," Skylar said seriously.
Skylar, who was well-versed in the original works, actually knew that the Order of the Phoenix had far more names than those mentioned in the books. In the original books Ron told Harry that he had seen about twenty members of the Order of the Phoenix in Grimmauld Place, and that did not include Hagrid, who was already on a mission at the time, or Aberforth, who was infiltrating Hogsmeade Village.
Therefore, excluding those whose names appear in the original work, the Order of the Phoenix should have at least six unknown members.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, Dumbledore had reunited the Order of the Phoenix due to the changing situation, but Skylar was unaware of this.
He simply dislikes the unknown.
On this point, he admitted that he was no different from Dumbledore; he was addicted to the feeling of having everything under control, so he had to learn the names of these unknown members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Skylar gave a cold laugh. The loyalty of the Order of the Phoenix to Dumbledore was beyond question, but that didn't mean Skylar had no way of obtaining intelligence from the Order of the Phoenix.
Skylar remembered that it wouldn't be long before Harry Potter was attacked by Dementor.
In that incident, Harry was supposed to be under Mundungus's protection, but Mundungus abandoned his post at a crucial moment, all for the sake of some cheap cauldrons to sell on the black market. As a result, Harry cast the Patronus Charm to protect himself, which ultimately got him into trouble and gave Fudge a handle to use against Dumbledore.
"How's 'Night Cat' making progress at Knockturn Alley?" Skylar suddenly changed the subject, bringing up Knockturn Alley.
Susan, however, was used to Skylar's leaps of thought and calmly replied, "Night Cat hasn't disappointed you. With Old Borgin's help, he's gathered the small-time players in Knockturn Alley and built a force of at least 30 people, making him a force to be reckoned with in Knockturn Alley."
Night Cat's real name is Irina Selwyn. She attempted to attack Skylar in the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament but was captured by Skylar and eventually became his servant through his Skylar.
Before being subdued by Skylar, she was Prefect in Slytherin, possessing exceptional magical abilities, political acumen, and mental intelligence. Moreover, she came from one of the most powerful Pure-blood families — the House of Selwyn. In addition to knowing many of the family's secret magics, and with the Magic Blood Potion bestowed upon her by Skylar, her strength was enough to subdue the scattered forces in Knockturn Alley.
