Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

"Ah, I didn't expect to see this photo here."

While Louis was staring at the family portrait of the Black family, Cyril's voice sounded from the side.

Hermione, Harry and others had left the closet and went to the kitchen to help the busy Mrs. Weasley prepare the Christmas dinner. Only Louis and Cyril were left in the closet.

"Are you familiar with the Black family?"

"They are old friends." Cyril made a careless decision and picked up the photo from the ground. There was a hint of memory under the almost disfigured face.

"Sirius and I have known each other since we were at Hogwarts, including your mother." He explained, as if he was telling a very ordinary thing, "I often come to their house to play during the summer vacation. This was probably the summer vacation of the fifth grade. What happened is that this is a rare family outing for their family. Sirius is very happy and he always shows off to me.”

"What college did you go to before?" Louis interrupted him, doubting Cyril's words. What he said was not accurate. Sirius himself was extremely disappointed with this family. In the fifth grade, by that time he had already separated from this family. We parted ways.

"Ah, Slytherin." Cyril put the photo back to Kreacher's residence. "You know, most of the pure-blood wizards would go there at that time, and your mother was also from that academy..."

"Slytherin? Then you must know, Sirius's younger brother..."

"Regulus? Of course I know that kid." Cyril's eyes were a little dodgey, "But we had no contact after graduation. I heard that he later joined the Death Eaters and died at the hands of the Dark Lord..."

"No, he's still alive." Louis stared at him, wanting to ask something from him, but Cyril kept silent, seeming to intentionally lead the topic elsewhere.

"Then he may be hiding somewhere. He doesn't want to be found by others." Cyril smiled, "Why do you keep asking this question?"

"because of this..."

Before Louis could finish speaking, he heard Mrs. Weasley calling from above, seemingly calling someone over for dinner.

"Okay, don't think about it too much. The most important thing now is how to deal with the Dark Lord." Cyril patted his shoulder and asked him to leave the closet.

"Let's go."

Cyril seems to be hiding a secret that he cannot let Louis know, but Louis can confirm that he should have a lot to do with the missing Regulus Black.

Louis told Sirius about Kreacher's thoughts before dinner started. He was also worried about this issue, but he was more concerned about Harry's safety.

Voldemort allowed Harry to see his actions in the Ministry of Magic through the soul link. His purpose was not to tell the Order of the Phoenix his whereabouts but to seduce Harry.

In fact, Dumbledore guessed that Voldemort did not want to take one thing from the Ministry of Magic. Apart from the part that Harry could see, his other purpose was for the prophecy ball.

"The prophecies concerning Harry and Voldemort are in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic..."

"You know everything?"

"I have experienced similar things before, I can probably guess it, and I have done some research by the way."

Louis was referring to Trelawney's previous prediction of Voldemort's resurrection.

"Well, in that case, I hope you can keep an eye on Harry in school." Sirius said sincerely, "Voldemort will definitely make big moves in the Ministry of Magic, but he will not do it himself, but will seduce Harry. go."

"His troubles in the Ministry of Magic this time will cause the Ministry of Magic to shift its attention to that place and ignore the Department of Mysteries itself, which will be more conducive to his next actions."

Yes, this is also what Louis is worried about. If the power of the Order of the Phoenix alone is not enough to resist Voldemort's Death Eater army, what's more, now that there has been a prison break in Azkaban, the Death Eater army has expanded again. The situation is not good for the Order of the Phoenix.

"Well, I will, and you have to be careful about Kreacher." Lewis reminded, and suddenly he remembered something, "Maybe we can use Kreacher to pass on some false information?"

"You mean..."

"We can reveal the fake action plan to Kreacher, or it can be a real plan but not the entire action. Some details and key parts can be omitted, so that it can gain the trust of the Death Eaters."

Sirius didn't interrupt and let him continue.

"After that, we can use Bella and Narcissa to lure the Death Eaters over and set up an ambush to catch them all."

"Although it is not 100% guaranteed to destroy them, it can definitely inflict heavy damage on them."

"Crazy idea, I like it." Sirius whistled, "But at the same time, you have to know that Voldemort is not that easy to be fooled. The most we can do is contain the power of the Death Eaters."

"That's enough. It's enough to slow down their actions."

Louis did not expect the Order of the Phoenix to do anything against Voldemort. A high-end power showdown could not be achieved through ambushes and sneak attacks. In the face of absolute power, any strategy was pale and powerless.

But it is a strategy to contain the effective forces of the Death Eaters and prevent them from carrying out other destruction.

After Louis and Sirius finished their conversation, the pleasant Christmas dinner began. Most members of the Order of the Phoenix gathered together, talking and laughing, just like the last warm scene before the storm.

Kreacher hid in the attic and was picked out by Sirius after the dinner. No one knew why he was hiding there, but he seemed to be in a happy mood, holding a bunch of Black family relics in his hand.

. . . . . .

In the blink of an eye, the Christmas holidays were coming to an end. During this period, Dumbledore did not appear in Grimmauld Place. Instead, Mr. Greengrass stayed with Astoria for a few days after being discharged from the hospital.

Osnet was invited by Dumbledore to join the Order of the Phoenix. Although he once supported Voldemort, his heroic performance in the Ministry of Magic allowed him to gain the trust of some people, including Kingsley.

Of course this was all done with Dumbledore's support.

After Osnet arrived, it was naturally impossible for Louis to continue living with Astoria, which made Louis sad because his happy time was over.

Although nothing happened between them, the feeling of sleeping in the same bed every day made Louis feel very comfortable. Now with Astoria leaving, he felt an emptiness in his heart.

The white-haired girl gave Louis a kiss before leaving and said that she would never leave him.

This gave Louis some comfort, and with this mood, the Christmas holiday also ushered in its end.
