Lucius Surrenders

In the empty classroom with the words "Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely, "Lucius, with sunken eyes and a haggard face, was bound hand and foot and slumped against the wall.

Oren asked in confusion, "You've only been imprisoned for a few months, and you've already betrayed the You-Know-Who?"

Lucius gave a wry smile, "I'm willing to be a spy for the Order of the Phoenix, just like Snape. By the way, I'm officially accusing Snape of being a You-Know-Who for Voldemort."

Will feigned ignorance, saying, "That's impossible. Even if it's just him and me left in the Order of the Phoenix, I think the probability of me being the undercover agent is much higher."

"Stop wasting your breath on him, Will. I think he's just here to toy with us. Let's go back and let the Dementors suck his blood a few more times."

"It's all true, I'm not lying to you. If it weren't for the You-Know-Who threatening me, I wouldn't want to help him at all. Right now, he's at the Malfoy Manor begging you to let me out."

Lucius began to struggle.

Will scoffed, "So what if he is? The You-Know-Who didn't do anything to the Malfoy family. At most, he sent your son to assassinate Headmaster Dumbledore."

Lucius struggled even more fiercely.

"I really don't want to help the You-Know-Who. If you don't believe me, go check my behavior while he was away. Believe me, I actually didn't want him to come back either."

Oren for a moment and said, "So you're still a law-abiding citizen?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm a law-abiding citizen, Oren, we're even relatives. Let me out and I can help you persuade the other Pure-blood families."

"Yosh~ Ptooey ptooey ptooey~ Will, you should take him back and wait for the You-Know-Who to come and rescue him."

"No! Give me some help and I can escape from prison. I promise the You-Know-Who won't suspect a thing."

Oren rolled his eyes and said, "You're overthinking it. Your so-called Pure-blood families is completely unimportant to me. What's important to me is the absence of You-Know-Who."

Will chimed in, "Yeah, what a load of rubbish, the second-generation Dark Lord! His throne should belong to the young master."

Oren...

Before they even reached the entrance to the Gryffindor Tower, they saw Ron and Lavender kissing each other again.

Ignoring the two bastards, Oren returned to his loyal common room.

Harry said, "That old geezer Grindelwald showed me memories related to You-Know-Who again today."

Hermione, standing next to her, tossed aside her homework, pulled out a handful of snacks, and looked ready to watch the drama unfold.

Harry...

"You-Know-Who once applied for a job at Hogwarts."

"But the headmaster didn't agree, did he?" Oren muttered to himself as he wrote something in his notebook. "We can't let anyone fail the exam...we can't let them lose their jobs, we can't not hire them... Harry, continue."

"A You-Know-Who also obtained Hufflepuff's Cup and Slytherin's Locket from the rich woman."

"You-Know-Who? A rich woman? Tell me more!" Oren pulled out a slice of watermelon from somewhere and handed a large piece to Hermione.

Harry recounted Dumbledore's theory that the You-Know-Who murdered the rich woman and framed the House-elf for the crime.

Hermione shrugged. "Boring. I've seen this in the case file."

Harry...

"And Trelawney wanted to fire Firenze, but Grindelwald didn't agree."

Oren said, "Old Deng always tries to reason with people; he must have given Trelawney a good beating."

Harry nodded and said, "Grindelwald said that if I fail to complete the tasks assigned by Headmaster Dumbledore, I'll suffer the same fate as Trelawney."

"If that doesn't work, let Will try to interrogate him," Oren suggested.

Hermione shook her head. "If he were capable of making a move, I bet Grindelwald would have done it already."

"Well, there's nothing I can do then, Harry. Good luck."

After saying that, Oren got up to leave.

"Wait! Do you know where my mom went? I heard she went on a trip, why didn't she take me with her?"

"Lily was sent on a trip. Snape was always cautious and feared that the Death Eaters might attack and harm her."

"Harry, you need to be careful. If you get into danger, Snape might not save you."

"Huh? That can't be right, Oren. My mom would be so sad if I died, wouldn't she?"

"Yes! Heartbroken, which is perfect opportunity for Snape to take advantage. This kind of tactic is very common. Besides, Lily is only senior in terms of seniority, and she's not actually that old. He can just create a new character from her."

Harry!!!

The next morning.

"My lord! My lord! We've reached Poyang Lake, and Hongdu City is not far from here!"

"Holy crap!"

Harry said doubtfully, "Orion, are you having another nightmare?"

"Yes, a really bad nightmare."

Ron admired himself in the mirror. "I'm so damn handsome!"

Oren curled his lip and said, "All I see is damn."

Ron...

"I'm not going to chat with you guys anymore and go back to sleep. I have important things to do today."

Everyone...

Oren slept until almost noon before getting up and staggering to Diagon Alley.

At this point, Diagon Alley no longer possessed the vibrant commercial energy of its former self, but rather the chaotic energy of a chaotic, incandescent curse.

At the entrance to Knockturn Alley, a Order of the Phoenix wizard reported, "The other side is full of Death Eaters experts; we haven't broken through yet."

Another Order of the Order of the Phoenix wizard shouted, "Lord Moody, lead us in one more charge!"

"Take us one more time!" ×n

Will explained in a low voice, "The Death Eaters have been attacking Diagon Alley like crazy since last month, and today they've launched a full-scale attack."

"If we can't get into Knockturn Alley, fine. We just need Death Eaters to attack Hogwarts from Borgin and Burkes's Vanishing Cabinet anyway."

Oren glanced at the boarded-up shops around them and said, "Let's not fight anymore. Diagon Alley is theirs."

"Ouch!" ×2

If it weren't for that head of red hair, Oren wouldn't have recognized who those two mud balls were.

"George, thank goodness we listened to you and rented the Zonko's Joke Shop, otherwise we would have really gone bankrupt."

George looked at Oren expectantly and said, "Are we really going to give up Diagon Alley to the Death Eaters?"

Oren nodded in confirmation.

"Oh no! We finally managed to buy the shop, Fred, now our assets are going to shrink!"

"You two shouldn't be too sad. The market economy is truly magnificent," Hayek.

twin...

Sirius Black interrupted, "Are we really going to give up Diagon Alley?"

Oren asked suspiciously, "Why are you here, a phantom of the Order of the Phoenix, an openly known puppet of the Ministry of Magic?"

Sirius Black...

"I think if we can defeat the Death Eaters, I might be able to contend for the ministerial position."

Will scoffed and said, "I didn't expect someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you to be so eager to improve? Did you catch Percy's influence?"

Sirius Black shook his head and said, "It's all Dumbledore's business."

In reality, it was a forged imperial edict from Grindelwald.

"Rufus is definitely done for now. He had a tough image, but he never fought Death Eaters even once. Plus, our Order of the Phoenix stole his kills. A lot of people are unhappy with him because he's a coward who only bullies his own kind."

Oren smeared some black ash from the twins' faces and then rubbed it on Sirius Black's face.

"When you get back to the ministry, go and accuse the Minister for Magic," Oren mimicked Sirius Black's voice, "Rufus, where's my ammunition? Pshaw, where's my support?"

"I can endure any hardship for the Ministry of Magic, but I don't understand why, since we're all working for the Ministry of Magic, the one who does the most work always suffers the most injustice!"

"Everyone's only thinking about avoiding retaliation from the Death Eaters and dares not help. When have you ever thought about Diagon Alley, when have you ever thought about the Wizarding World!"
