Caradoc Dearborn's Story

Why does Ryan value Harry and his friends so much?

He didn't want Penelope and the others to know the reason.

Or perhaps he didn't want anyone to know.

He might never tell him that he was a time traveler.

Perhaps only centuries later will he be able to hold back and tell others.

As he pondered this, Ryan's gaze fell upon the Daily Prophet.

Thousands of miles away, outside the Ottery St Catchpole, in the Burrow, Ryan Harry Potter, the subject of their conversation, was also looking up at the Daily Prophet.

In remembrance of Caradoc Dearborn

"Is this the list of members of the Order of the Order of the Phoenix? Why isn't my father's name on it?" Ron suddenly asked from the side.

"You do not know?

This is the original list of members when the Order of the Phoenix was first established. At that time, Mr. Weasley did not join the Order of the Phoenix because of you.

Although the Order of the Phoenix is a secret organization.

But for Death Eaters...

It was high-profile at the time—in order to attract the attention of the Death Eaters.

The original members of the Order of the Phoenix either came from illustrious families (the Bones and MacKinnon families were the most powerful families in the Wizarding World at the time).

Either work at Hogwarts, working alongside Dumbledore (that's safer).

Others have special identities that facilitate communication with other factions (Lupin – Werewolf, Mundungus Fletcher – grey faction).

Another group consists of frontline workers who are in danger (such as Neville's parents, Moody).

Or have no attachments (like Dearborn, who has no living family).

People like Harry, your parents, Sirius, Peter Pettigrew are exceptions.

In fact, you can tell from the very beginning that the members of the Order of the Phoenix were not candidates from the start.

They all joined because of your father and Sirius's strong insistence.

At the time, neither my father nor his colleagues expected that they would publicly join the Order of the Phoenix.

They have very obvious weaknesses.

They are not frontline personnel like the Auror, who inherently face risks.

They could have acted like the Order of the Order of the Phoenix, without being members, just like Mr. Weasley.

That's the wiser approach.

Because of their Pure-blood status, they are not targeted by Death Eaters.

"I think—" Draco trailed off.

"You think my dad and Sirius are idiots, right?"

They do look alike.

Sirius told me that they were completely enthusiastic at the time.

Sirius implicated his family, who were with the Death Eaters.

My dad forgot that my mom has Muggle relatives.

They also didn't care that Peter Pettigrew an elderly mother.

They could have kept their membership in the Order of the Phoenix a secret, saying one thing but doing another.

This is how Pure-blood have always developed.

"It won't be too late for them to reveal their identity as members of the Order of the Phoenix when the war is over," Harry sighed.

Everyone else looked on with concern.

"Let's continue reading the Daily Prophet." Harry looked at the newspaper.

Albus Dumbledore: "I still remember it was 1956, the year that Headmaster Dippet Armando Dippet left office."

At that time, I was a professor of Transfiguration.

I met Caradoc in my first-year Transfiguration class.

He was an orphan who Parseltongue, possessed extraordinary talent, and had a unique understanding of magic.

His traits reminded me of someone else I'd rather not mention.

Fortunately, as Gryffindor, he was brave, kind, and willing to stand up for the weak.

Therefore, even after I became the principal in the second half of the year, I was still willing to privately teach this poor child magic to prevent him from going astray like the other person.

In 1970, I founded a secret organization— the Order of the Phoenix.

The child joined it despite my objections.

But clearly, the secret organization was no secret to its enemies.

He disappeared shortly after the company was founded.

Many people say that he may have used his Parseltongue accent to curry favor with someone I don't want to mention— Voldemort.

He did not appear after Voldemort's defeat because he had escaped from Britain.

Or perhaps I was killed, but the truth was not revealed to protect my reputation.

But I know this child isn't that kind of person.

But I hope it will be like the unfounded suspicions mentioned earlier.

That way, at least he's still alive.

This morning, I finally received news from him.

I hated my keen intuition once again.

He did not betray us.

He guarded the secrets of the Order of the Phoenix until his death.

Alastor Moody: "I still remember Caradoc."

As everyone knows, I am an obnoxious and annoying person.

You can imagine how I would react if I met someone who had been hiding an ominous talent ( in Parseltongue) and hadn't revealed it until graduation.

I have always played the role of a watcher for him.

I investigated him and followed him.

They suspected he was Voldemort's spy.

After I laid bare his tragic childhood, revealing it to him in a bloody and painful way, he was still smiling.

I still remember that smile; it was so sunny and so innocent.

I still remember his words: 'So Mr. Moody will trust me now? That's wonderful, I've wanted to be your friend for a long time.'

Everyone knows what happened next.

After he mysteriously disappeared.

The Order of the Phoenix began leaking information continuously.

Many people say that he betrayed them.

But none of us members of the Order of the Phoenix believed it.

Later, everyone found out it was Sirius.

Recently, the case has been overturned; it turns out that the person was actually Peter Pettigrew.

Someone with obvious weaknesses who shouldn't have joined us in the first place.

Today, I can finally bring him home.

Minerva McGonagall: "Although I only found out today that he Parseltongue."

But I'm pretty sure he's a kind little guy.

Regardless of whether he knows the victim or not.

He was always the first to speak out whenever he learned of injustice.

"Well, he is indeed a very good guy."

But why haven't we heard about his deeds before? After reading the entire Daily Prophet, Ron was completely baffled.
