Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

London, Ministry of Magic.

Harry, who was working overtime on the weekend, held a document with slightly yellowed paper and read it attentively, while his face became darker and darker.

At this moment, someone knocked on Harry's office door.

"Harry, do you have any tea here? I don't have any anymore." Hermione opened the half-open door and walked in.

"It's in the cupboard, you can get it yourself." Harry replied without looking up.

"I want a box first, and I'll return it to you on Monday." Hermione opened the cabinet and took out a box of tea. At this time, she noticed that Harry's expression was not right, so she walked towards Harry's desk. "What happened?"

"Hermione, we're in trouble!" Harry said.

Hermione placed the tea leaves in the corner of Harry's desk, then took the documents from Harry.

"Let me see," Hermione said, flipping through the papers.

"The time, ten years ago, was the night before that decisive battle."

"Location, Spider's End. Well, near Snape's home."

"In the incident, someone was killed by a curse at home, and another person in the family has been missing until now."

"Conclusion, given that Voldemort attempted to kill Snape near the place where the crime occurred and during the time of the crime, it is judged that this case was committed by Voldemort."

"..."

"Huh……"

After browsing the file, Hermione suddenly opened the middle page of the file, which was the investigation report of the local police.

“The victim’s family’s pet, a Brazilian python, is missing?!”

"Could it be..."

Hermione looked at Harry in surprise.

"I'm afraid it's that 'could it be'." Harry said a little irritably, "The snake killed by Neville that day was probably not Nagini."

Hermione put down the document in her hand, and then said: "So Voldemort still has a Horcrux that still exists?"

Harry smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that's the case, and this Horcrux will still move on its own. No one knows where it is. It's possible in England, France, South Korea, or even Africa."

"Who else knows about this?" Hermione asked.

"Only the two of us know about it at the moment." Harry said, "I accessed these historical documents because of what happened last night and wanted to investigate what Voldemort did in the last few days. I also accessed these historical documents today. I just saw this report.”

Faced with this sudden news, Hermione became restless. She closed the door to Harry's office, then picked up the file that Harry had read just now and sat on the sofa to read it.

More than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the office door again. Harry waved his hand and the door opened by itself.

"Would you like some delicious egg tarts?" Ron walked in carrying a cardboard box, "Mum just made these this morning. I just heard from Ginny that Harry was also working overtime, so I sent them over. .”

"Ron, we're in trouble!" Harry said to his little friend.

"What, can't you afford to pay off the mortgage?" Ron asked, "I'll make a pot of tea first. Even if Voldemort is resurrected, we can talk over tea and snacks."

Then Ron was dumbfounded, holding half an egg tart in his mouth as he listened to Harry's story about Voldemort's Horcruxes possibly still being there.

"I think someone may have known about this for a long time." Ron said after eating the egg tart in his mouth.

"Who?" x2

"Who else could it be?" Ron picked up the teacup and asked Hermione, "Do you still remember, when Harry faced off against Voldemort for the first time ten years ago, Zhang was standing with Voldemort's snake? And he’s a Parseltongue, do you think he can chat with that snake?”

At that time, Hermione, like many people present, did not pay attention to Zhang's actions. If that was the case...

Hermione and Harry discovered at the same time that this matter was not simple.

"Okay, let's analyze this detail." Ron said after putting down half the cup of tea in his hand, "Harry, if you were Voldemort, how would you treat the snake that is a Horcrux?"

“It must have been protected with various profound spells.

" Harry replied.

Ron continued to ask: "Then would you let that snake stay with a powerful guy who keeps a basilisk at home, even for just a few minutes?"

Harry didn't answer, but the answer was obvious.

"So that snake was a bait thrown by Voldemort." Hermione sighed after finishing speaking, and then she leaned limply on Ron's shoulder beside her. "The situation has returned to what it was more than ten years ago. The way it was before.”

For a moment, the three people in the office were silent.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of Harry's office for the third time this morning. The person who came back this time was Neville.

"Harry, I called your house. Ginny said you were working overtime, so I came." Neville said, "What, are you having a tea party?"

"Neville, we're in trouble!"

"ah?!"

Today Ron brought over a dozen egg tarts. It was originally four for each person, but after Neville suddenly appeared, it became three for each person.

However, Neville did not seem too surprised by this incident. He listened to Harry's story and slowly ate the delicious egg tarts made by Mrs. Weasley.

"Why aren't you surprised?" Harry asked Neville.

Neville drank some tea and said, "Ever since the Black brothers and sisters appeared in Hogwarts that day, I had a feeling that something big was going to happen."

"Do you believe that both of them are Voldemort's children?" Hermione asked Neville, she had heard about it.

"I was dubious at first," Neville looked at Harry and said, "But after I saw Harry last night, I confirmed that they are Voldemort's children."

"What?!" x2

Ron and Hermione almost jumped up, "What does Harry have to do with Voldemort's child?"

Neville pulled out his wand and cast an iron spell on himself, and then said: "In the past few years, I have been assisting Sprout in studying the heredity of herbs, so I have learned some Muggle knowledge about genetics. .”

"Neville!" Harry shouted to Neville.

Neville ignored Harry and continued: "And we know that when Voldemort recovered his body, he used Harry's blood, and human blood contains a person's genes."

"Neville!!" Harry shouted as he reached for his wand.

"Petrified them all!" Ron petrified Harry one step ahead of him, "Continue."

Neville said "hehe" twice, and then said: "We all know that Harry's eyes are very much like his mother's, and after Harry became a girl, his eyes were very much like his father's. As for the brother and sister, the older brother's eyes are very similar to those of his father." The eyes are like Harry's father, and the sister's eyes are like Harry's mother, which is what Harry looks like now."

"So," Neville spread his hands, "this means that Voldemort absorbed part of Harry's genes when he regained his body, and then passed these genes to his children. Unless the two siblings actually They are Harry's children, otherwise there is no way to explain how the two of them look like Harry."

Ron and Hermione opened their mouths in surprise. This was the first time they heard such explosive gossip.

Ron nodded and said, "Now I have to prepare two more gifts for Christmas."
