Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Chapter 261: hiding place

"What shall we do now?" Lockhart made no secret of his lack of ideas.

"I made a sign on the tree, and when the others are here, they can see the next meeting point I gave," said Scrimgeour. "I'm here because of you and Granger, and the Neither Harry nor Sirius understands this code, it's a secret communication method that we only started using years after you left the Auror Department, and it's only used when the Ministry of Magic has fallen into adversary."

"But someone has been caught..." Hermione was a little worried, "Will they also see the code and know the next meeting point."

"Of course it's possible, but don't forget, all Aurors have Occlumency, and interrogation of Aurors can only be done through Veritaserum... Veritaserum has a feature that will allow the user to answer questions - but The premise is that they have to ask." Scrimgeour said lightly, "The group of pustules of the batterers, there is no expert in interrogation, it is estimated that they asked about the meeting point of Keith, and they rushed over to ambush, and did not ask more questions at all. There are other means of communication. Of course, there is another point, the idea of ​​marking the tree with non-magical means is very good, even I almost didn't notice it, this kind of transmission method of ciphers outside the agreement requires strong observation You might not even discover it yourself, let alone outsiders.”

"Then we now—"

"Go to the next meeting point first," said Scrimgeour decisively. "As many as you can gather."

Scrimgeour used magic to mark the target location for everyone, and Apparated first.

"London?" Lockhart looked at Hermione in disbelief, her face also panicked.

"Anyway, let's go first, Gilderoy." Blake was a little surprised, but not surprised, "London is only a place closer to the Ministry of Magic. I escaped from Azkaban back then, and I also I've been in London and the Aurors have done nothing to me."

No matter how surprised, Lockhart Apparated along with the crowd.

"Waited for you for ten seconds. Is London so scary?" Scrimgeour was slightly dissatisfied from his Apparition's position, "Apparating to London has an advantage—it's the meeting point of the national floo network, and every day With thousands of people using Floo in and out of London, it would be difficult for the Ministry of Magic to find us by looking at Floo usage records."

Scrimgeour took the lead and walked towards a building: "The place I carved on the tree over there is the roof of this building. But for insurance, we have to add another insurance measure."

Scrimgeour led the crowd into the building, climbing up the stairs, and at the top, Scrimgeour pushed open a door. Come to the roof.

"There is no sign of any wizards around here now, indicating that your secret code has not been exposed, but are we waiting here?" Lockhart asked curiously.

Scrimgeour didn't speak, picked up a brick on the ground, scratched a few lines of letters on it with a knife, and put it back behind the door that entered the roof, on the last step up the stairs.

"I understand. After the other Aurors got here based on the information in the woods, they had to turn over the bricks on the ground to find the place where we would really stay."

"Miss Granger guessed right. Observation is very important to Aurors. I put this brick in such a conspicuous place. If other Aurors come and don't know how to turn it over, it means that He's not trained enough, he's not good enough..." said Scrimgeour disdainfully, "and if the Ministry of Magic found out the code carved in the tree, it would definitely just lie in ambush on the nearby roof and stare here, not directly here. From the roof, you won't even notice this brick."

Subsequently. Scrimgeour gave everyone the location of the actual meeting point, in a small hotel far from central London.

It was a Squib who ran the hotel, and he brought today's Daily Prophet to everyone, and Scrimgeour said he was absolutely credible... Others could only choose to believe what he said. This place, he said, had always existed as a secret Auror stronghold, but he was the only one who knew it.

"The plan is almost impossible to carry forward by the enemy, but we must not be discouraged. It is understandable that such a dilemma arises. It is conceivable that when we control the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters must feel this way - obviously there is one Plenty of plans are available against us, but our actions continue to undermine theirs—whether it's against the Death Eaters' non-human allies. Or the capture and assassination of important Death Eaters. They made a mess. As the weaker side, the plan certainly didn't go according to the script every time, but in the end they used a trick to take over the Ministry of Magic." Scrimgeour sat down on the sofa, and the others were looking for a place to sit. . "They have been suffering for so long, and they managed to win a round... Now it's our turn to pay off the debt. The plan can't keep up with the changes, but we can't just say no plan because of this, we must have a general idea of ​​what to do next. ."

"Ok."

"Don't talk too much, you just tell us what to do." Lockhart interrupted him impatiently, he was not in the mood to listen to this kind of preaching now: "Do something quickly and participate in killing Mad Eye's hitter. , and all the Death Eaters, even the pureblood families who support the Death Eaters, must die!"

Lockhart's words caught the eyes of the other four...

"Gidro, what's the matter with you? You don't look normal, you don't usually say such extreme things." Scrimgeour glanced at him with a frown. "You must learn to be sensible and make plans now. And leading the other Aurors, Gardwin is dead, and if I die again, you're the new leader of the Resistance—you can't listen to people like this anymore."

"If you're dead, do we need to keep fighting?" Lockhart said disdainfully. He opened the newspaper, but immediately saw important information: the new fighting hero - Harry Abner Manjik , in the siege and suppression of the rebellious wizards a few days ago, he killed the important figure of the other party, Alastor Moody, and protected a large number of fighters of the Ministry of Magic.

"Hahaha, they actually put the man who killed Mad Eye in the newspaper - no matter what, this person must die." Lockhart did not continue to read other content in the newspaper, but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Said, "If you die, Rufus, I'll kill this guy and flee abroad."

"It's very bad for you to think so~lightnovelpub.net~ but if I die too, and you don't want to carry the burden - then you really don't have to resist, or take Hermione and Harry to escape outside Britain Go somewhere, at least you can live your life in peace and security.”

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me...so many people have died," said Harry sadly, "My impulsive behavior made everyone miss the best time to leave the battlefield - you don't need to be involved in this war. , the prophecy says this is a war between me and him..."

"Don't be too sentimental, Harry!" said Hermione angrily. "The wizarding world's war against You-Know-Who started before your father was born, and it's not your business!"

"Harry, don't think about it...even if this is your war, you must have a helper, right?" Blake comforted Harry, "The prophecy says that one of you and the You-Know-Who is destined to kill the other, we To help you become the active party."
