Returning to Hogwarts

Chapter 734: Returning to Hogwarts

"Hey, Silvan, are you sure it's okay to tell Harry the secret just like that?"

After hanging up, Fred couldn't help reminding him, "I mean, there are still plenty of Death Eaters watching that place."

"It should be fine," Silvan said. "Given Voldemort's arrogance, I doubt he even knows about telephones, those Muggle things."

"Besides, I said we'd pick Harry up on the day he came of age, but we all know Mad-Eye Moody wouldn't choose that day. He said so himself."

"You really are something."

After Fred and George left, Silvan received another call from Hermione.

She seemed to regret telling Harry the truth about Dumbledore's murder, but she also felt Harry had the right to know, so she was deeply conflicted.

All Silvan could do was reassure her that Harry would find out sooner or later. That was also one of the reasons Mad-Eye Moody hadn't reminded everyone to keep it from Harry.

It couldn't be hidden forever. Besides, picking Harry up would require his cooperation. If he learned the truth on his own then, it was hard to say whether his emotions might get the better of him and make him do something less than rational.

Mad-Eye Moody had originally intended to give the task to Sirius, but Hermione had taken it on as well.

After comforting Hermione for a few moments, the call ended again.

Until evening, Silvan didn't see a single person pass by the door.

The next day, before dawn had broken, Silvan heard a cuckoo calling outside.

It was the signal they had agreed on.

When he opened the window, Fred and George were indeed standing outside.

"Isn't this a bit too early?" Silvan looked up at the still-indigo sky. If he wasn't mistaken, it probably wasn't
