Now, no one was talking except for the sound of the TV.
The cameramen played the footage they had taken on the television. This made the audience feel as if they were there, witnessing the miracle of a severely ill wizard being cured with their own eyes.
When the red female phoenix spread its wings and occupied the entire TV screen, Harry could not help but exclaim, "A phoenix!" Dumbledore's Fawkes, Allen's Animagus, and the former Guardian Deity form, the phoenix was the dream of many people.
"This phoenix is not as beautiful as Fawkes," Tonks commented while looking at the phoenix's tail feathers.
"This is a female phoenix. Dumbledore's phoenix is a male," Bill replied.
The TV news continued to broadcast. In order to increase the credibility of the news, the TV station also played some interviews, including the two recovered wizards, Allen's interview videos, and the opinions of the wizards who had seen the situation in person.
A 25-year-old curse dispeller, who was said to have been cast by a vicious black wizard with a super powerful hair loss spell, said to the camera excitedly, "Whether you believe it or not, I've made up my mind to go to St. Mungo's Magic Hospital every day and pray under the altar of Ravenclaw. I believe that one day, my devotion will surpass that of others, and Ravenclaw will also fulfill my wish."
"So, Katie's story is true? But if Ravenclaw is still alive, then what about the other three founders? " Fred took the paper airplane back and changed it back into a fruit knife. He peeled a piece of apple and put it into his mouth. Although this news should be shocking, he felt that it was unreal just by watching it on the TV. Besides, he did not care whether Ravenclaw was still alive or not. Maybe he could sell more crystal balls to make wishes. The sales should be good.
There must be a conspiracy, Ron thought. Although he couldn't see any problems, he felt that he couldn't just look at the surface when it came to Allen.
"It's too much of a coincidence. Ravenclaw's shrine was donated by the Harris family, and on the day of the Divine Show, the Umbrella Corporation happened to be holding a charity show. Then, Ravenclaw happened to choose Allen as his final choice and gave him the phoenix." Sirius changed his sitting position and placed his hands behind his head. "With that person's cunning, they must have planned this beforehand."
When Ron heard Sirius' words, he suddenly felt enlightened. That's it, it's too much of a coincidence. He nodded in agreement with Sirius' point of view. "Ravenclaw's ghost, Lady Gray, has a special relationship with the Harris family and the Lovgood family. During the summer vacation, she usually doesn't even leave the castle, but she followed them home."
"Doesn't that mean that Madam Ravenclaw might really exist? But Lady Gray is her daughter. " Bill pushed aside the hair that was blocking one side of his eyes. "Dad, didn't you say that after the incident at the Ministry of Magic last year, there was a rumor that the Lovgood family's daughter was Ravenclaw herself? Maybe this is the truth? "
"Brother, you haven't seen Crazy … Luna, right? How could she be Madam Ravenclaw … Erm, but …" Jenny shook her head at Bill. She was the same age as Luna and had often seen her craziness with her own eyes. But in the end, when she thought of Luna's strength in the Ancient Magic Competition, and recalled the battle at the Ministry of Magic, where Luna's temperament was different from usual when she used the fireplace to go to the Ministry of Magic in front of her, Jenny was a little unsure of her own judgment.
"But think about Katie. Even Dumbledore couldn't cure Katie directly, but Ravenclaw could cure her instantly." Harry had heard Dumbledore's assertion about Katie with his own ears. Moreover, Ravenclaw had allowed Harry, a player under Quidditch's team captain, to return early. Harry felt that it was true.
"Allen isn't teaching you Ancient Magic. He has studied Black Magic and has a high level of attainment. Maybe he can directly break the curse." Sirius remembered that when he was in the third grade, he had obtained his innocence with the help of Allen. However, Allen had also taken away all the books in his house. There were many books about black magic in there. Sirius changed his sitting position. "And the phoenix can also be subdued in advance. You saw how close they were on TV. It doesn't look like they just met each other. With the wealth and power of the Harris family, it's not surprising that they can subdue a phoenix."
"You didn't believe Harry every time, but the results have proven that he's right every time." Jenny crossed her arms to protect her boyfriend.
"Nothing is impossible in this world. I actually think that this might be true." Arthur's attitude had always been more open. He had been hired by Allen and promoted by Owen in the Ministry of Magic. His family's living conditions and status in the wizarding world had greatly improved, which made him very fond of Family Harris. "With Family Harris's current status in the wizarding world, he doesn't need to pretend to be a god to increase his influence. Allen is already the savior of the world. Why bother to create a god above him and take away his glory?"
Sirius was just a little annoyed by Klitscher's incident. He didn't have any opinions about Allen, so he didn't say anything. Lupin had recently gotten together with the Tonks because of Allen's matchmaking, so he was very grateful to Allen. Although he agreed with Sirius's opinion, he didn't question it.
"No matter what, this is a good thing." The Tonks felt that it didn't matter if it was true or not, as long as someone benefited from it. "It's a fact that those people have recovered from their illness."
"Instead of suspecting Allen, why don't you investigate Pency Parkinson?" Harry finally took the opportunity to tell everyone about his suspicions about Snape and Pency, as well as the conversation he overheard between Snape and Pency on the day of the Slughorn Ball.
After Harry finished speaking, there was silence. Only the sound of Hibiscus Chinensis's news broadcast could be heard.
"You're saying that Lord Voldemort gave Pency Parkinson a mission? And Snape is helping him? And Harry, you suspect that they're targeting Dumbledore? " Arthur voiced out everyone's suspicions. How could Lord Voldemort send a young Magus who hadn't even graduated to assassinate the greatest light Magus?
"I know, it sounds crazy." Harry gestured with his hands, trying his best to explain his thoughts. "Have you ever thought that Snape was only pretending to help Pency in order to obtain information?" Lupin tried to keep his tone as calm as possible so as not to agitate Harry, who was already a little agitated.
"It doesn't sound like it." Harry saw that they were trying to explain for Snape and didn't believe him, so his tone became more and more impatient.
"Maybe Harry isn't wrong." The Tonks, who were holding Lupin's arm, supported Harry.
"… In the end, it still depends on whether you trust Dumbledore's judgment." Lupin patted the Tonks' arm and explained patiently, "Dumbledore trusts Snape, so I trust him too."
"Dumbledore makes mistakes too," Harry argued.
"I think Harry is right about this. If there's anyone among us who would be a traitor, it would undoubtedly be that Snape … Dumbledore was indeed …" Sirius, who was happy that his godson disliked Harry, agreed with Harry, but Lupin glared at him and stopped him from continuing.
"Harry, don't be prejudiced against Professor Snape." Lupin put his hands on Harry's shoulders. Although Snape had never been kind to Lupin, and his eyes were full of hatred and contempt, Lupin still chose to trust Dumbledore's judgment.
"I'm not." Harry raised his head. He felt a little wronged that he was not believed and was criticized.
"You are." Lupin pointed at the table with his finger. "The Mystery Man is watching us covetously. There are only a few people we can trust. If we don't take personal relationships into account, the relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix is not harmonious. If there's an internal conflict now, we won't be able to do anything for the Order of the Phoenix."
Harry could only nod reluctantly. Just as he was thinking about how to refute, Lupin let go of him and smiled weakly at Harry. The Tonks sat next to him and waved their hands at Harry quietly, telling him not to mind and to continue talking.
Sirius stood up and walked to Harry's side. He handed a few Mandrake leaves to Harry and called Ron and Jenny over. Harry looked down at the leaves, then looked up at Sirius in confusion.
"Mandrake leaves. The most troublesome preparation for transforming into an Animagus is to suck on the leaves. Now, put it in your mouth. We'll use this Christmas holiday to complete part of this. Otherwise, you can't avoid talking too much in the Hogwarts," Sirius instructed.
Ron, who was called over, was a little reluctant. He hadn't eaten dinner yet. If he put the leaves in his mouth now, he wouldn't dare to eat in big mouthfuls at dinner later. But before he could say anything, Jenny poked him in the waist. Ron looked at Harry and stuffed the leaves into his mouth helplessly.
Harry put the Mandrake leaves in his mouth, his eyes flashing. In fact, he understood that Sirius had another layer of meaning. He wanted him to keep the Mandrake leaves in his mouth to avoid talking too much, because other people wouldn't believe him.
Pushing the children aside, Arthur touched his bald head, looking a little worried. "But speaking of which, the conflict between Scrimgeour and the Harris family has become more and more obvious recently."
"What's the specific situation?" Lupin clasped his hands together and leaned forward to look at Arthur.
Arthur raised his chin in the direction of the TV. "Yesterday, when Ravenclaw showed his divinity, Rufus Scrimgeour ordered the patrol Aura to investigate the hospital as soon as he received the news. The reason was that he suspected that this was an organized and premeditated scam to incite and deceive people so that they could control their minds. He clearly knew that it was a donation from Harris and that Allen had obtained a phoenix."
