Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"In the absence of evidence, it is better not to doubt others at will. What we should think about now is how to deal with what is going to happen next." Dumbledore squinted his eyes and said as he thought.

Kingsley Shacklebolt listened silently to everyone's speculations and said at this time: "What do you think, Professor Dumbledore, the points that need to be defended are too loose, and the Ministry of Magic will not have many manpower at that time.

"

Dumbledore seemed to have thought clearly and looked at Gideon Prewett and said, "In this case, I will persuade Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom to spend Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. Potter. I will also ask Marlene

Ask her what she means, maybe it would be a good idea to spend Christmas together at the Burrow."

Gideon Prewett smiled and said gently: "I think Molly will welcome them warmly."

"Well, then there are two points that need to be guarded against. Then we can even ambush around in advance. They'd better show up. If they dare to let me spend a night in the cold wind in vain, I won't let them go." Crazy Eyes

Hammoudi laughed and said.

"That's fine, but it's best not to explain the reason for this arrangement in advance. Maybe we have a chance to severely damage the Death Eaters this time, and maybe we can also take the opportunity to find out the traitor." Edgar Bones also agreed with this.

Make arrangements, nodded and said.

Seeing that his arrangement was acceptable to everyone, Dumbledore nodded and said, "Then it's decided. Moody and Kingsley, please look after the Potters and Longbottoms. Edgar and Wade

I'll leave it to you on the Sly family's side, I'll be there to provide support at any time, just in case the Dark Lord himself shows up."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, and then stood up and left.

Dumbledore stayed where he was, as if thinking of the prophecy he heard a few months ago, he thought and muttered: "Tom, can you really do something to a newborn child? In your heart

What a terrible abyss we have fallen into.”

Not only was Dumbledore certain that the Death Eaters would launch an attack this Christmas, he had even guessed who the main target of the attack would be, but he still muttered in confusion: "Which one is it? Potter or Longbottom?

Snape, I hope you won't let me down at the critical moment."

On the other hand, after Sirius returned home with Anduin, he sat heavily on the sofa with his hands under his head, shaking his feet in confusion, probably still worried about the Death Eaters.

Anduin didn't take this matter to heart very much. He still had great confidence in Dumbledore, and he wasn't too worried about what would happen if he was on guard.

"Sirius, I have to go out." Anduin said to Sirius who was lying on the sofa.

When Sirius heard this, he still wanted to go out at this time, and said hurriedly: "Where are you going? At this time, it is too late to take you here. What should I do if I encounter danger when I go out?"

Anduin rolled his eyes, why is this guy so nervous, and said: "I have to buy some Christmas gifts. Besides, I'm not from the Order of the Phoenix. And don't be too nervous. If the Death Eaters really want to show up,

If there is a Christmas attack, it proves that we are safe before Christmas."

Sirius was still worried and said: "You are a child and you are still thinking about celebrating Christmas. Maybe Dumbledore will ask us to cancel the banquet directly. Don't make matters worse."

"Then maybe the Death Eaters know that we are on guard for Christmas, and it's possible to cancel the attack directly. Besides, I'm not going to a place like Diagon Alley where wizards gather. I'm going to a Muggle business district. Don't worry."

Anduin advised Sirius.

Seeing that Anduin had made up his mind, Sirius could only say: "Okay, but I have to follow you, and you don't want to run around."

As a result, despite Anduin's reluctance, Sirius followed him.

The reason Anduin planned to go to the Muggle business district to buy gifts was actually to save money. He had a lot of Muggle currency, but wizard currency was used less, so he had to use it sparingly.

First, Anduin took Sirius to Chinatown in London. He had to buy some Chinese condiments. After all, Hagrid was so delicious that a box of condiments was almost finished in a few months. Unfortunately, now

In winter, otherwise he would like to buy some vegetable seedlings to plant in Hagrid's vegetable garden. He also bought a large copper pot, which is the kind of copper hot pot used to cook mutton in old Beijing. Anduin is going to find an opportunity to make a hot pot. It's not going to be hot in the winter.

It would be a shame to eat hot pot.

After that, he went shopping for gifts in a nearby shopping mall. He bought a lot of children's storybooks based on Vivian's advice, and also bought an exquisite music box, which could play a beautiful lullaby just by opening it. There was also a button on the inside of the lid of the music box.

I took a photo, and at the same time I chose a brooch for Professor McGonagall, with a lion carved on it, and bought an exquisite mechanical clock for Professor Flitwick. There should be no such taboo in the UK about "giving a clock".

Dean Slughorn bought a bottle of old whiskey. He knew that the dean liked to enjoy it very much.

As for Hagrid, Anduin found a large copper cup engraved with various monsters. It was sold as a handicraft, but if it was given to Hagrid, he would probably really use it, and Charles and

Vivian and Anduin each gave a new set of mahjong tiles very simply, which saved them from borrowing them. According to Vivian, the set of mahjong tiles he lent was often circulated among Slytherin and

Between Gryffindors.

As for Sirius, Anduin bought a gramophone on the spot, unpacked it, and planned to take it back and use it directly. He also bought a lot of vinyl records. Anduin thought this was very suitable for Sirius. With his explosiveness,

If you have a bad temper, it is still necessary to use music to relieve your mood occasionally.

At the same time, Anduin also bought a lot of greeting cards, wrapping paper, packaging boxes, etc., and planned to go back and package some joy potions to give to other guests at the party. Anduin also bought a set of dresses for himself.

A suit and casual clothes.

Anduin found that it was quite useful to bring Sirius with him. It would be great to have someone to help carry things. Sirius irritably hugged a large cardboard box full of gifts and accompanied Anduin out of the mall, cursing.

In the next few days, Anduin stayed at Sirius's house obediently. Sirius was either missing or lying in the living room every day, or playing with the gramophone Anduin bought him like a big man.

.

During this period, Anduin also asked Sirius about the secret of communicating through the fireplace. It turned out that the principle was the same as Floo powder, which was to link various fireplaces through the Floo network. The fireplace in Sirius's home was specially opened to the Order of the Phoenix.

A small communication network cannot be moved directly using Floo powder, but real-time communication is possible.
