Affected by their emotions and the upcoming plan, Harry and Ron did not sleep well recently.
This morning, Elwyn, Harry, and Ron woke up early and went downstairs.
Sirius and Lupin had not arrived yet, Mr. Weasley and Bill had just left home for work, while Lady Weasley went upstairs to wake up Hermione, Ginny, Elaine, and Gabriel. Hibiscus Chinensis had also drifted into the bathroom to take a shower, leaving only the three of them at the dining table.
"Sirius specifically asked me yesterday, he wants to join our operation." Harry said, starting the conversation.
"He said something similar to me, but I refused. I feel that compared to being with us, the Order of the Phoenix might need him more." Elwyn said, picking up a piece of bread. "At least from the current situation, we don't need to fight the Death Eaters head-on. The only thing we need to do is to go to Gringotts. That place doesn't depend on the number of people, the few of us are enough! In fact, I think it's best if I go alone … "
"You want to leave us alone?" Harry immediately asked cautiously. "Don't forget, that golden cup is also a Soul Artifact, I have the responsibility to find it."
"I've also said to Hermione that we want to help you." Ron hurriedly followed up. "You guys agreed back then."
"Alright, you guys can follow, but the four of us are enough. Just the four of us, Elaine, Ginny, and Gabriel can't participate, they're not of age yet." Elwyn said. "This is not a spring outing. Trespassing into Gringotts is actually very dangerous, and the unknown home of the house-elves may be even more dangerous."
"I don't care about danger, and I don't need the protection of the Order of the Phoenix. I can't wait for the 31st to arrive, then the traces on me will disappear, and I can leave the Shack." Harry said, sighing. "It's all because of me, we still have to wait here for another three days …"
"Four days!" Ron corrected him seriously. "We still have to stay for the wedding, otherwise they'll definitely kill us."
Obviously, "they" referred to Hibiscus Chinensis and Lady Weasley.
If Elwyn was included, then Gabriel was also included.
"Yes, we're going to stay for Bill and Fleur's wedding, and I think we'd better wait a little longer," Ivan said.
"Wait for what?"
"Wait for the situation to become clearer. Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters can't possibly hide in the dark forever. They have the upper hand now, so they won't hide like before." "Elwyn said, glancing at Ron who was stabbing the toast on the plate with his fork." Also, I'm a little worried … "
"To be honest, I'm more worried about my mother. She won't let us miss the wedding, and she won't let us go so easily." Ron said, as if he was stubborn enough to cut the toast into pieces. "You two just wait and see. She'll definitely find a chance to ask us. She won't give up until she knows what we're planning to do. Using the method we used on Sirius and Lupin won't work on her. She'll get to the bottom of it. "
"Alright, why did you cut the toast into pieces?"
"I just suddenly felt like doing it!" Ron paused, then added. "The thought of being interrogated by my mother makes me annoyed. I can't wait to … do it."
Within a few hours, Ron's prophecy became a reality.
Lady Weasley did not intend to say these things in front of everyone. When it was almost lunchtime, she sent Elwyn and Harry away from the others with the excuse that she needed to identify the clothes. Elwyn and Harry were about the same size, so she mixed them up when she was washing them. She led the two of them to the small washing room at the other end of the kitchen, and the interrogation began.
"I heard that you guys are planning to drop out of Hogwarts?" She asked in a casual tone.
"That's true. Harry, Ron, and Hermione aren't planning to go back next semester." Elwyn answered.
"Okay!"
The wringer in the corner started to turn on its own and wrung out a piece of clothing. It looked like Mr. Weasley's vest.
"Can I ask why you guys want to give up your studies?" Lady Weasley said.
Elwyn and Harry looked at each other, then carefully said, "You know, Lady Weasley, Hogwarts is not absolutely safe right now. If Harry and I stay there, it's tantamount to creating an opportunity for Lord Voldemort. Then we'll have to confront him head-on, which is not good for us."
"But even if you don't return to Hogwarts, you can continue to stay here. Phoenix Society will provide protection for you two …"
"Dumbledore left us … some things to do, and we have to complete them." Harry said.
"What kind of things?" Lady Weasley immediately asked.
"I'm sorry, we can't …"
"Well, to be honest, as your elders and guardians, I think Sirius, Arthur, and I have the right to know, and I believe that Mr. and Mrs. Mason and Mr. and Mrs. Granger will also agree!" Lady Weasley said, her brown eyes looking at the two of them firmly.
Sure enough, she used the trump card of "guardian".
"Dumbledore doesn't want anyone else to know, Lady Weasley." Harry said, "Even Sirius doesn't know everything. This is a secret only Elwyn and I know. Dumbledore's last words, in fact, Ron and Hermione don't have to go, they can stay here."
"I don't think the two of you need to go either!" She said sharply, dropping all pretense and throwing the clothes in her hands into the basin. "You're not old enough, none of you are! Don't look at me like that, Elwyn, you're the same age as Ginny, you're still far from adulthood. I heard from Sirius that you didn't even get rid of the traces on your body. In order to avoid being tracked by the Ministry of Magic, you can't even use your own wand. My God, how much magic can you use with someone else's wand? How are you going to fight the Death Eaters? It's all nonsense. If Dumbledore has a job to do, the entire Order of the Phoenix will listen to him! The few of you must have misunderstood him. Before he died, he probably told you what he wanted to do, but you all thought he wanted you to do it. That's ridiculous. "
Well, Lady Weasley seemed to have heard a lot of things.
Elwyn told the others that he used magic to get rid of the traces on his body and asked Sirius to destroy all his files in the Ministry of Magic so that he could use magic without being discovered. The fact that the Ministry of Magic did not find out about his adventures in the past few years proved this. But in fact, other than using his own wand to go abroad, Elwyn had been using other people's wands, and he tried not to cast magic in monitored areas, so that he could get away with it.
