Chapter 198 About Speculation
Gloria quickly told Dumbledore that Bella might have a Horcrux, and Sirius came the next day after the news came out.
He usually used ordinary Floo powder, and had just come out of the fireplace, so he roughly dusted himself off.
"Oh! Sir, I am at your service."
Coco almost screamed when she saw the dust being dusted onto the luxurious carpet.
"Okay." Sirius was used to the service of house-elves, so he spread his arms quickly.
Coco's magic was very sophisticated, and with a snap of her fingers she had him back to being clean and tidy.
"It's ready, Mr. Black. Please follow me. The distinguished Miss Gloria is in the office."
Sirius raised an eyebrow and followed Coco.
When they reached the door, it opened automatically. Gloria was signing a document. "Sirius, you're here so quickly."
Before he came, he had been notified using a two-way mirror.
Sirius nodded and came in, "I just happen to have some free time today." The door closed automatically after he came in.
He sat down across from the desk. "Dumbledore told me that you suspected that crazy woman had a Horcrux?"
Gloria nodded. "After returning, I talked to my father's portrait. The diary was given to Lucius, and he was asked by Voldemort to hand over Kreacher. Bellatrix is so loyal, it is unlikely that she will be left out to preserve the Horcrux."
In the Black household, Bella has a morbid obsession with Voldemort. Although Voldemort is cold, he is not without feelings.
Sirius thought about it and felt that it made sense. "That's true, but when she was arrested, the mansion was searched many times by the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore has already gone to check the confiscated items."
Gloria said, "I hope we can find it. The key is that we don't know how many Horcruxes he has made. It's such a secret that it may be difficult to investigate."
Sirius was a little depressed when he mentioned this, "We'll try our best, but your presence gives us a better chance of winning."
He couldn't suppress his joy when he thought of the battle between his good niece and Voldemort. It was a bit dangerous, but it just showed how talented Gloria was. Dumbledore even asserted that in a few years, she might be able to really compete with Voldemort.
"I can't beat him now, but I never know in the future." Gloria said, "The one-month deadline is almost up. Can you spare some time to pick up Harry?"
"Of course." Sirius spread his hands, "It's just that my place has become the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. When we have meetings, we have to be careful to avoid him."
There is nothing to say about Gloria. At Harry's age, there is no way he can join the Order of the Phoenix.
"Or I can send an elf over there and have him show Harry around while you have the meeting."
Sirius was a little distressed. "We'll see when the time comes. If we really need an elf, Dobby would be more suitable... By the way, Nymphadora has also joined the Order of the Phoenix. She is now an official Auror."
Gloria paused with her quill. "I guessed it. She wrote to me and said that something very surprising happened recently." She paused for a moment. "Don't call her Nymphadora in front of her. Just call her Tonks."
"I see." Sirius said, "There have been too many things going on lately. Your holiday this year is a few days later than in previous years. I won't be able to pick Harry up until August. When I pick him up, come to my place and get together."
Gloria agreed.
·
The holiday is almost half over, and Gloria has fully recovered. Recently, she has been personally guided in her magical training by some of the most outstanding masters of the black magic.
"The arc should be no higher than an inch above the shoulder."
"You have a good foundation in coordinating your breathing to cast magic, but you need to improve."
……
This went on for the past two days. The portraits gave strict guidance, and Gloria was extremely talented and understood everything immediately, so nothing unpleasant happened.
After finishing the practice, Gloria opened the door of the darkroom, and outside the door was the portrait room.
“How was your day?” Bernice asked leisurely.
"Not bad, isn't it? Our Gloria is excellent. She can do it just by being told once." said the portrait instructor who was guiding her today.
One of the portraits said: "Although we don't like the guy named Voldemort, we have to say that he has a good talent for dark magic, and the method of restoring his body is very ingenious."
Bernice raised her head proudly. "It's a pity that he has Muggle blood. Although he has a high talent for magic, the inferior Muggle blood also has a profound influence on him."
She stubbornly believed that all of Voldemort's strengths came from his Slytherin blood, and all of his weaknesses were due to his Muggle blood.
"As expected, the combination of wizard and Muggle blood is a serious disaster. He should be thankful that he has Slytherin blood in him, otherwise he would just be an unknown half-blood."
"Stop talking." Gloria said lazily, "There will be a half-blood wizard coming to our school next school year to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
"It's outrageous!" The witch with a mean face said with disgust, "That Dumbledore has tarnished Hogwarts. Half-blood wizards, half-blood giants, half-blood goblins... This school is simply a paradise for half-bloods and clay figures!"
Gloria frowned. "These professors teach very well, but the one coming next school year is totally messing up the school for all those stupid things."
Angus, who had been scolded for almost a year because of the Slytherin locket, walked out from behind the curtain and said, "So, Gloria, remember to support a puppet minister in the future. The Fudge you mentioned is very suitable."
The other portraits gave him a sidelong glance, and Angus quietly retreated behind the curtain again.
"Gloria."
As soon as this voice came out, the other portraits fell silent.
Salazar, with black hair and silver eyes, rarely opened his eyes and spoke, "When the situation becomes too ugly, take out the magic parchment."
Gloria nodded, "I will."
After leaving the portrait studio, she washed up and went to the office. She casually touched a row of two-way mirrors and found that one of them was still warm, indicating that the person connected to this mirror had contacted her before.
But I was practicing in the portrait darkroom at that time and did not receive this contact.
This mirror was connected to Harry. Gloria contacted back without knowing why, and soon Harry's face appeared on the other side, looking very bad.
"What's wrong Harry?" she asked.
Harry swallowed, "Leah, Dementors attacked me in Little Whinging, as well as my cousin Dudley. Now the whole family is in the hospital. The Ministry of Magic wrote to me a while ago saying that I had violated the rules and that they were going to expel me from school and destroy my wand. I was planning to run away as soon as possible, but Mr. Weasley wrote to me not to leave the house or hand over my wand."
He continued, "Soon Dumbledore found out about this and went to the Ministry of Magic. They changed their statement and said they would make a final decision after the trial on August 12... It turned out that Principal Dumbledore had been sending people to watch me, but the guard was not there at the time... I only found out today that Mrs. Figg was a Squib -"
Little Whinging - Muggle community.
Dementors – magical creatures.
How could these two be mixed together?
"Listen to them and stay in the house."
Gloria only cared about the Dementors. They were still under the control of the Ministry of Magic, and she had never issued any special orders, so she was quite surprised to hear that they appeared in the Muggle world.
She immediately thought of a possibility: someone instigated the Dementors to attack!
