Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

Anduin saw Dumbledore posing the question to him. After pondering for a moment, Anduin replied: "First of all, the most likely situation is that this news is false. After all, it is information obtained from the mouth of a student. I cannot

Make sure what he says is true. Even if what he says is true, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the elders in his family are not bragging to him."

"Oh?" Dumbledore couldn't help but look at it twice more and continued to ask: "Then you still pass the news to us?"

"After all, I would rather believe what is true than what is not true. Even if the news is not true, it will not have any impact. But if it is true and my friends are put in danger, it will make me fall into endless self-consciousness."

It's my fault." Anduin quickly replied.

"Well, be cautious and tactful, Anduin, you handled it very well." Dumbledore nodded, and said to everyone at the same time: "Actually, I also obtained similar information from other channels, so I held a separate meeting.

discuss."

So that's it, Anduin said, why did Dumbledore immediately pay attention to it without confirming it when he just provided information to Sirius? It seems that the principal also has something. I don't know what channel he was talking about. Could it be

Does he predict magic? Or is there an undercover Death Eater?

The people around him also had expressions of sudden realization.

"So it seems that Death Eaters may indeed launch an attack around Christmas, but we don't know who the target is, whether they are preparing for a large-scale attack, or preparing to ambush a single person." Edgar Bones said.

He touched his thick beard and said.

"The chance of attacking a lone person is slim. Now that the holidays are approaching, everyone usually stays with their families to prepare for Christmas and doesn't have that much time to go out." Gideon Prewett thought for a moment and said.

"Then we should also remind them to pay attention to personal protection during the holidays!" Moody said seriously.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"If you are preparing to carry out a large-scale attack, the most likely situation is when people gather. Do you have any plans to prepare for gatherings around Christmas?" Kingsley Shacklebolt on the side said in a gentle and deep voice.

the voice said.

"Yes, Fabian and I are planning to go to the Burrow on Christmas to spend Christmas with my sister Molly and brother-in-law Arthur." Gideon Prewett said in a brisk tone.

At this time, Sirius also said: "Lupin, Peter and Anduin and I will all attend the Potter family's dinner."

Dumbledore also said in a deep voice at this time: "There are also the Longbottom family and the McKinnon family. They are also a big family, and there will be many people gathered together."

When Moody heard that these guys were all living happily together, he said speechlessly: "Ha, I'm spending Christmas alone at the Ministry of Magic. It seems like I'm quite safe."

When Anduin saw that Moody actually had a sense of humor, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous. He lowered his head and covered his mouth, laughing silently.

"What are you kidding me about? Living alone is much easier than having a family like these." Seeing that Anduin dared to laugh at him, Moody said with a deliberately fierce expression.

"I quite agree with this. After all, I am an orphan, and life alone is not as bad as I imagined." Anduin restrained his facial expression and instead said to Moody in agreement.

When Moody heard what Anduin said, he was too embarrassed to hurt him. He could only smack his lips, looked at Dumbledore, and said: "Most people in the Ministry of Magic are on vacation for Christmas, including Ao

Luo, there may not necessarily be someone on duty in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. If no one monitors the magic fluctuations in London, it will be difficult for us to maneuver if there is a real Death Eater attack."

Dumbledore thought for a while and considered this troublesome issue. Christmas is indeed a special time. When everyone is spending Christmas happily, if they are suddenly attacked, they will probably be caught off guard, and magic

The department's Aurors are on vacation, resulting in a sharp reduction in manpower. If the response is not timely, it may be too late to provide support.

"It's really troublesome. Can't we just defend passively? Why don't we take action first and find trouble with those guys first?" Sirius said impatiently after hearing everyone's discussion.

Seeing this, Dumbledore could only comfort him: "Don't worry Sirius, we will figure out a way. Taking the lead in provoking a conflict will only tip the situation to the Dark Lord's side, in which case we will be even more passive. And I don't have a hundred points now."

Be 100% sure to defeat that person."

Anduin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Even Dumbledore wasn't sure of defeating Voldemort, and he didn't know how powerful Voldemort was now.

Dumbledore thought for a while and then said to everyone: "I will find a way to deal with this matter. Sirius, please take Anduin back first and prepare to have a wonderful holiday. Fortunately, we are already prepared and ready to do anything."

It’s just a matter of precaution, after all, bad things may not happen, right?”

Seeing what Dumbledore said, Sirius scratched his head irritably and led Anduin out of the basement.

The remaining five people were still discussing countermeasures in the basement.

"Dumbledore, do you have any guesses?" Edgar Bones, as one of the founders of the Order of the Phoenix, knew Dumbledore very well and asked.

Seeing Bones asking this question, Dumbledore smiled and replied: "Yes, I got more information from another source. I am now almost convinced that the Death Eaters will definitely launch an attack on Christmas."

, but I still have some concerns now."

"You mean?"

Mad-Eye Moody looked thoughtfully at Sirius as he left, as if he had thought of something.

Dumbledore glanced at Moody and said: "Do you know why I only called a few of you here today? I suspect that someone in the Order of the Phoenix may have tipped off the Death Eaters. You know, the names and addresses of most of our members are

It's confidential, but the Death Eaters don't seem to worry about finding our people at all."

Gideon Prewett asked in confusion: "You mean, there are traitors in our Order of the Phoenix?"

"So you sent Sirius away in advance?" Edgar Bones seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"Could it be?"

As soon as a guess emerged in everyone's mind, they were interrupted by Dumbledore.

"I don't doubt Sirius's loyalty, but his character is not suitable for keeping secrets." Dumbledore said slowly.

"Is there a target of suspicion? I'm sure it's Mundungus Fletcher. He does nothing all day long and only knows how to make money through smuggling." Mad-Eye Moody seemed to have thought of something and said angrily.
