Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 804

Harry and the others pretended to be embarrassed and remained silent.

In fact, they still don't believe many of the things Phineas says. They'll only believe them if Darren tells them himself.

They are not fools.

If I had told Phineas earlier, he might have been arrested long ago!

707

Chapter 707 The Cemetery!!

While Darren was arguing with the Death Eaters about not wanting to eat a midnight snack, Harry and Hermione were braving the cold inside their tent discussing where to go next.

Hermione hasn't cried these past few days.

She started reading the storybook that Dumbledore had given her again.

Harry felt that a fairy tale was not worth reading so many times.

But he didn't dare say that.

Moreover, he was currently thinking about how to get Hermione to agree to go to Godric's Hollow with him.

After much deliberation, Harry concluded that Darren had initially told them that Godric's Hollow was their only option.

Darren kept saying he wanted to go to this place; he thought there might be some plans there.

Darren must have remembered those words, and he hinted at them again in front of Phineas's portrait that there might really be a problem!

"Hermione, I think we..."

"Come on, Harry, look at this. What do you think it is?"

Hermione pointed to the symbols in the book.

It has triangular eyes with a vertical line down the middle of the pupil.

"It looks a lot like the symbols used in ancient runic script."

Hermione said hesitantly.

Harry stared for a while, then suddenly blurted out, "I think I've seen Luna's father wear a necklace like this before. I heard it's Grindelwald's symbol."

"What? Are you sure?"

Hermione asked quickly.

Harry nodded.

Darren once told me this, but I've forgotten exactly when.

He said the symbol represented Grindelwald, and that he had taken over some of Grindelwald's subordinates whom he believed had been reformed.

Hermione frowned.

"How could he be so trusting of others? If we let it go, he's always been very trusting of others."

What we should be talking about now is this: why is Grindelwald's logo in a storybook?

Furthermore, did Scrimgeour notice this mark at the time? If he did, why didn't he consider it unusual?

Hermione asked hesitantly.

Harry, of course, didn't know.

All he wants to talk about right now is going to Godric's Valley.

“Hmm, Hermione, I think we should go to Godric’s Hollow.”

"Yes, he's been thinking about this a lot."

Hermione said absentmindedly. Harry thought she hadn't understood.

I still want to explain.

Hermione stopped him.

“I know what you mean. I’ve been thinking about everything Darren said back then. He said he was going to Godric’s Valley.”

At the time, he probably just had a fleeting thought of visiting your home.

However, after he returned to school, he tried to pass on a message to us through Phineas, so perhaps he had this in mind as well.

We need to go to Godric Valley. Once we get there, we can inform Phineas that we have arrived at Godric Valley.

"We're hiding there. If Death Eaters come, we leave immediately. If it's something else, then we've made the right bet!"

Harry's heart began to pound.

Hermione's words stirred a surge of excitement within him.

Darren is guiding them, and although he's not physically present, they are not entirely clueless.

Hermione was making plans nearby.

"We must use compound decoctions throughout the entire process, and we also need to wear invisibility cloaks, ideally constantly transforming into other people along the way."

Finally, we'd better make a door key so we can leave at any time.

Harry had planned to go the next day.

But Hermione disagreed.

She believed that regardless of whether Phineas was told or not, they would be heavily guarded in the Godric Valley.

They must be on guard.

She spent a whole week preparing.

Finally, on Christmas Day, they were ready.

Harry disguised himself as a middle-aged man.

Hermione disguised herself as an ordinary child.

The two of them were walking down the street wearing invisibility cloaks.

It snowed that day.

Their footprints covered the ground.

Hermione frowned as she looked at their footprints.

"I should have chosen another day. I just thought a snowy day would be better for hiding, but I forgot about the footprints. We should have erased the footprints!"

"No need, let's take off the invisibility cloak first."

As long as we are still standing, we will surely leave footprints.

Now that we're disguised as other people, they're not sure if we'll overreact today and scare ourselves unnecessarily.

We'll find a dark place, where the night will hide our footprints... and then we'll call Phineas.

Harry said thoughtfully.

Hermione thought for a moment.

She loosened her wand.

They crawled out from under the invisibility cloak.

Harry looked at the scene before him; it was a row of houses.

He and Hermione passed by these houses.

He was wondering which house was his home.

When they reached the square, they found that the ground was so slippery and hard that no footprints could be left there.

"Hermione, call him out!"

Harry said softly.

Hermione's face was a little pale.

They crawled under the invisibility cloak, enduring the biting cold, and then they pulled out the portrait of Phineas.

"Why did you call me out again?"

"You won't tell me where you are, and you won't let me ask you any questions. Wait, you didn't even blindfold me!"

Phineas looked around in shock.

"This is, this is the location of Godric Valley. I've been here before... It's so nostalgic!"

"Of course, you've let me know your location, so who do you want me to tell this message to?"

Hermione immediately forced a sweet smile and said.

"Please tell Darren this news, I beg you!"

"Hmph, you little brat! So you finally trust me?"

He did ask me for your address, but have you considered what else he could possibly do?

"We don't know either, but I think Darren must have thought it all through!"
