Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

London, Ministry of Magic.

Harry, who was working overtime on the weekend, was reading a document with slightly yellowed paper, and his face became darker and darker.

Then someone knocked on Harry's office door.

"Harry, do you still have tea here? I don't have any over there." Hermione pushed open the half-closed door and walked in.

"It's in the cupboard, take 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 moment, 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 put the tea in the corner of Harry's desk, then took Harry's hand over the papers.

"Let me see." Hermione said as she flipped through the files.

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

"Location, Spinner's End. Well, near Snape's house."

"Incident, someone was killed by a spell at home, and another person in the family has been missing to this day."

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

""

"what"

After browsing through the document, Hermione suddenly turned to the middle page of the document, which was the investigation report of the local police.

"The victim's family's pet, a Brazilian boa constrictor, is missing"

"Did"

Hermione looked at Harry in surprise.

"I'm afraid that's the one." Harry said a little restlessly, "The snake that Neville killed that day was probably not Nagini."

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

Harry smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid that's the case, and this Horcrux will still move by itself. No one knows where it is. England, France, South Korea, or even Africa are all possible."

"Who else knows about this?" Hermione asked.

"At present, only the two of us know." Harry said, "I got the idea to investigate what Voldemort did in the last few days because of what happened last night. Just saw this report."

Facing this sudden news, Hermione also became restless.She closed the door of Harry's office, then picked up the documents Harry had read just now and sat on the sofa to read them.

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

"Would you like some delicious egg tarts?" Ron walked in carrying a cardboard box, "Mom just made these this morning, I just heard Ginny said that Harry was also working overtime, so I brought them here. "

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

"Why, can't you afford the mortgage?" Ron asked, "I'll make a pot of tea first, even if Voldemort is resurrected, we can talk about it while drinking tea and snacks."

Then Ron was dumbfounded and listened to Harry's talk about Voldemort's Horcrux might still be there with half an egg tart in his mouth.

"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?" Ron picked up the teacup and asked Hermione, "Do you remember that when Harry faced Voldemort for the first time ten years ago, Zhang was standing next to Voldemort's snake, and He is still Parseltongue, do you think he will

Snake Chat"

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

Both Hermione and Harry discovered that this matter was not simple.

"Okay, let's analyze this detail." Ron said after putting down half a 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 all sorts of advanced spells," Harry replied.

Ron continued to ask: "Then would you let that snake stay with a powerful guy who feeds basilisks at home, even if only for a few minutes?"

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

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

For a while, the three people in the office fell silent.

At this time, Harry's office door was knocked for the third time this morning, and it was Neville who came back.

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

"Neville, we're in trouble"

"what"

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

But Neville didn't seem overly surprised by this incident. While listening to Harry's narration, he slowly ate the delicious egg tart made by old Mrs. Weasley.

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

After drinking a little tea, Neville said, "Ever since the two brothers and sisters of the Black family showed up at Hogwarts that day, I've had a premonition that something big is going to happen."

"You believe they are both Voldemort's children" Hermione asked Neville, who had heard about it.

"I was dubious at first," Neville said, looking at Harry, "but after I saw Harry last night, I was sure they were Voldemort's children."

"what" x2

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

Neville pulled out his wand and cast an Iron Armor Charm on himself, and then said: "In the past few years, I have been assisting Sprout in researching the genetics of herbal medicine, so I have learned some Muggle knowledge about genetics. .”

"Neville," Harry called to Neville.

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

"Neville," Harry yelled, reaching for his wand.

"Petrify everything" and Ron petrified Harry one step ahead of Harry, "Go ahead."

Neville said "hehe" twice, and continued: "We all know that Harry's eyes are very similar to his mother's, and when Harry turned into a girl, his eyes are very similar to his father's. And those brothers and sisters, brother's Eyes like Harry's father, sister's eyes 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 he passed this part of the genes on to his children. Unless the two siblings are actually It's Harry's child, otherwise there's no way to explain the resemblance between the two of them."

Ron and Hermione opened their mouths wide in surprise, this was the first time they had heard such explosive gossip.

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