Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

"Okay, after you finish drinking, go and have a rest. Can we stay in the same old room as last time?"

Sirius pointed to the second floor, which was Tonks's mother's room, which was now almost becoming Louis' exclusive place at No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Uh, sorry." Sirius looked apologetically, "I didn't know you were coming too, so..."

"It's okay, she lives with me."

Louis replied casually, and seeing Sirius's somewhat suspicious gaze, he immediately added,

"We lived together in Durmstrang before. You're not so feudal, are you, Sirius?"

"Ahem."

He really didn't expect Louis to be so courageous, but as a young dissolute boy, he didn't care so much.

"Then have a good rest tonight and I won't disturb you anymore."

Andromeda's room wasn't very big, but it was enough for two people. Louis spliced ​​the sofas in the room together and used magic to create a blanket out of thin air.

"Let's do this for today, I'll sleep on the sofa." He spread out the blanket, "I'll call Sirius tomorrow morning to see if I can free up another room."

"Well, actually you don't have to do this."

Astoria's tone was a little twisted, and she was lying on the bed, her face a little red.

"This bed is big enough for the two of us..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Oh, you obviously heard it."

She hid her head completely under the quilt, and even she didn't know why she became so bold.

Maybe she was already familiar with him, or maybe she was used to the feeling of living next to him.

Louis didn't expect Astoria to say that, but since she said so, wouldn't it be too much if he slept on the sofa again?

"I can't sleep alone. When I close my eyes, I think of those terrible things."

Astoria leaned on his shoulder, the coldest wind this winter blew outside the window, mixed with flying snowflakes.

"Louis, tell me, if one day I no longer exist in this world, will other people forget me?"

"What are you talking about?" He touched her forehead. The power of the blood curse had not exploded recently, but Louis had never relaxed his vigilance.

"But after what happened to my father, I was very scared. What do you think, where will the wizards go after they die?"

Louis couldn't answer this question. He only knew that some wizards with deep obsessions would turn into human ghosts and wander around the world. Of course, except for super ghosts like Elise, others were limited to being trapped in certain places. venue.

"Don't think too much. This kind of thing will not and cannot happen. Even if I die, I will die before you."

"Pfft." Astoria smiled. This was the most relaxed she had been in so many days.

"Come with me to St. Mungo's Hospital tomorrow to see my father. I think he will be happy to see you too."

She curled up tightly in Lewis's arms like a kitten, her legs wrapped around him, more like hugging a giant stuffed toy.

Louis sniffed the girl's body fragrance. This was their "first time". On this windy and snowy night, their bodies were intertwined. Everything happened but nothing happened.

Early the next morning, Louis woke up quickly. To be more precise, he was awakened by the noise outside the house.

He gently put the sleeping Astoria aside, covered the cup, and opened the door. What he saw were his friends from Hogwarts.

"What are you doing?"

Louis was shocked by their curious looks. Judging from their previous actions, Harry and Ron were even trying to hold the door open, like crazy men peeping at girls.

Hermione stared helplessly at the two stupid men, while Ginny beside her explained:

"Sirius said this morning that you and Astoria came back here at midnight. The key is that you are still living together. This made Harry and the others curious about what happened to you?"

Louis trembled his shoulders. It seemed that there were also some people in the wizarding world who wanted to take advantage of him. However, even if something happened between him and Astoria, it was none of their business.

Several children came down from the second floor. It was already noon, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix were basically gathered together.

They greeted Louis warmly, and Molly came out of the kitchen, smiled and hugged Louis, and apologized that it was too late last night and there was no food prepared for them both.

Louis sat down next to a dark-skinned middle-aged man, who was none other than Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was protecting the Muggle Prime Minister.

This was the first time that Louis had such close contact with Kingsley. His personality was fierce but also amiable.

"I heard from Dumbledore that you went to the giants to contact them before?"

"Yes, but they don't seem willing to get involved."

"Understandable." Kingsley nodded, as if he knew this would be the result. "The giants don't want to cause trouble for themselves, but it is good to prevent them from helping the Dark Lord."

"Speaking of which, we also met a Death Eater there and asked Hagrid to hand it over to Dumbledore." Louis used magic to materialize the man's appearance and showed it to Kingsley.

"It's him." Kingsley frowned.

"Do you recognize it?"

"August Rookwood, once the leader of the Death Eaters." Kingsley recalled the name in his mind. "He used to be a member of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. He was later confessed by Karkaroff. I think You should know this."

"So, he should be in Azkaban now?"

"Well, if that's really the case, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble..."

Kingsley was right, the Azkaban prison break had happened once before, and it caused quite a shock in the entire wizarding world. But if it happened again, and someone like Rookwood would be able to escape. , then Bellatrix, Voldemort's right-hand man, must have been freed.

But now there seems to be no news to prove that a prison break occurred. Could it be that Fudge suppressed it?

Kingsley thought as he did, Fudge, a fat old man, might do anything for power.

"By the way, is there any progress regarding Mr. Greengrass' injury?"

"Nothing came out of the investigation." Kingsley shook his head. It was not that he was deliberately hiding something from Louis. "I suspect that even Fudge doesn't know what is hidden under the Ministry of Magic."

But this must be a secret known to Voldemort, which makes the entire Order of the Phoenix very passive. They cannot know the motives of their opponents, and the only thing they can do now is to focus on the Ministry of Magic.

Perhaps the captured Rookwood knew something, but he didn't expect the Death Eater who had just escaped from prison to reveal much information.

In this round of confrontation, the Order of the Phoenix has lost.
