Chapter 276

After a slight hesitation, Harry felt that perhaps he could go to the Death Eaters to see. On the one hand, it was out of curiosity and he happened to be free, on the other hand, he intended to test Lucius slightly, see what state the Death Eaters were currently in, and then consider how to make the diary play the greatest role.

"Then it's settled, I'll pick you up at the Three Broomsticks at noon tomorrow." Sirius Black said.

"If there are two such meetings every week." Harry said helplessly. "I think it won't be long before we get tired of the food at the Three Broomsticks."

"I admit this is the only time I miss Kreacher." Sirius Black showed a complex expression.

When Harry returned to school, Luo En couldn't wait to ask about Harry's progress. Harry said: "Ah yes, we held a meeting for most of the day, almost no progress was made, the only thing confirmed is that I need to organize Deng Buliduo's Army at school."

Luo En turned his head, frowned, and didn't look like he believed it.

"You have to understand, Luo En, the adult world is like this." Harry sat down and unscrewed a bottle of pumpkin juice. "They hold meetings, assign tasks, and then not many people can make decent progress."

"Just like not many people finished their homework." Luo En spread his parchment in frustration. "Perhaps I can brag about Harry Potter, but I really can't write the Moonstone essay."

"Why don't you follow this line of thought." Harry took a look at the few lines of words. In fact, Luo En had already listed some key points. "You brag about Moonstone based on these known things."

"You mean, it doesn't need to be true, it just needs to look credible enough?" A look of surprise appeared in Luo En's eyes. "Why don't I make up a story about Harry Potter using Moonstone to configure a potion to save a classmate, so I can sell this story to others."

"You used the word 'sell'." Harry nodded in deep agreement. "Obviously Fred and George set a pair of bad examples."

"Then you can't learn from Percy, right?" Luo En suddenly grinned, as if he remembered something funny. "Mom said, Percy is coming home later and later. He actually has nothing to do at the Ministry of Magic, he just wants to let the leaders feel that he is working very hard."

"Understandable, right?" Harry commented. "But seriously, do you know what the strategic significance of my forming Deng Buliduo's Army is?"

"Train students, as a living force, to fight against Death Eaters?" Luo En said naturally.

"No no, students are innocent, and they may not have that strength. We just need to make people think that this is a living force used to fight against Death Eaters." Harry shook his head.

"So you intend to deceive the Death Eaters and form deterrence?"

"We are preparing to deceive the Ministry of Magic!" Harry retorted. "Death Eaters know that students don't have that strength!"

"Fine fine, I understand." Luo En showed a helpless expression. "Let the Ministry of Magic think that you are putting energy into training the army and preparing for war, so you can cover for finding Horcruxes, is that what you mean?"

"That's right, so I'm preparing to start a secret gathering this week." Harry said. "Why don't we go see the venue first."

They came to the corridor on the eighth floor. Originally, there was a tapestry of trolls dancing ballet, but now, it had been replaced by a large realistic painting "Hogwarts No Longer Falls".

In the painting, Neville was beheading a snake again and again, and the spells of Voldemort and Deng Buliduo collided with intense sparks. Harry looked at the painting and naturally thought of his own lies, and his mood was a bit complicated.

But this is also good. When I go further and further on the road of lies, this painting can remind me what the original intention of all this is. Harry thought so, and walked to the white wall opposite the painting.

"We need a place to practice dueling, a place to secretly train the army..." He recited silently, turning around in front of the wall.

"This is my first time coming to the Room of Requirement." Luo En said, walked up and unscrewed the doorknob, and then said pleasantly, "It's much better than I thought."

There was a row of wooden bookshelves along the wall. There were no chairs on the ground, but there were large satin cushions. On the shelf at the other end of the room were various instruments such as Sneakoscopes and Secrecy Sensors, as well as a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror. Harry remembered that Cho Chang had once "borrowed" it as furniture for the Chamber of Secrets.

"I think these books are the most precious." Luo En said. "Although I may not read them, I look forward to you teaching everyone after you finish reading them."

"Let me see?" Harry walked up. "*Standard Book of Spells and Counter-Curses*... *Outsmarting the Dark Arts*... *Self-Defense Spell Collection*, these are all good."

"But more importantly, we invited an Auror, an Auror from the Ministry of Magic." Harry said. "Instead of letting him mix in the Order of the Phoenix to monitor their movements, it's better to make use of him and invite him to teach the students."

"Is that so, but how does he plan to get in?" Luo En said. "Sneak in through a secret passage?"

Harry was surprised to find that just after Luo En finished this sentence, a dark hole suddenly appeared on the wall where the floor-to-ceiling mirror was originally placed.

"You wouldn't be," Harry walked forward slowly, "a secret passage really appeared?"

Luo En also leaned over, the two looked at the secret passage curiously, then they looked at each other, and Luo En prepared to drill in.

"Wait." Harry said. "Put on the Invisibility Cloak."

Ever since Harry learned the Undetectable Extension Charm, he had been carrying the Invisibility Cloak with him. This Deathly Hallow had almost no weight, perhaps it was made of the concept of "secrecy" itself.

They moved forward along the secret passage. As they walked, some voices that were originally minimal gradually became clear. Harry pulled Luo En, and they sat in the aisle, quietly eavesdropping.

"I remember you seemed to have been sued," a voice said, "for using inappropriate spells on goats."

"Don't mention this." A rough voice said.

Harry quickly recognized it. The ones talking were the Auror Clister and Aberforth.

"I'm just curious, what kind of spell it was, so that people intended to sue you." Clister asked. "You wouldn't be using it to experiment with the Cruciatus Curse, would you?"

"Shouldn't be, we all know you are a good person." Clister quickly denied his own thought. "But besides this, what other spells are there?"

"Don't ask, wipe the cup well."

"Speaking of which, you have a sheep smell on you all the time, and there is indeed a goat kept in the back." Clister continued. "Aberforth, do you love goats so much?"

"Yes, my Patronus is a goat."

The two fell into a silence. Luo En seemed to want to continue walking forward, Harry thought for a moment, and pulled him.

"Aberforth, haven't you been married for so many years?" Clister picked up the topic again.

"No."

"Even when you were young?"

"No."

"Really strange, young men don't not like girls, oh yes, you like goats."

"I suddenly remembered a classic joke." After a short silence, Clister picked up the topic again. "It is said that an ancient wizard was born with the ability to understand the language of animals. One day he came to the home of a Muggle farmer to stay overnight. He told the Muggle about his ability, but the Muggle didn't believe it, so he walked into the turkey flock, came out and said, a turkey sage told him that every day at eleven o'clock, food would fall from the sky. The Muggle was half-believing, because he was feeding the turkeys at eleven o'clock every day."

"Then, the wizard walked into the cow shed again, came out and said, the bull in the cow shed missed the experience of milking last time very much, and envied the cow for being able to be milked often. The Muggle started to believe him a little bit. At this time, the wizard found a sheep on the side of the cow shed, and the Muggle immediately shouted: That sheep is a liar!"

Aberforth didn't laugh, and Harry and Luo En in the aisle were even more confused. They didn't understand what this joke was saying at all.

"Eh, I originally didn't intend to tell you, but the fact is, I actually have a son." Aberforth sighed heavily.

"Then where is he now?"

"Dead, died very early." Aberforth said stiffly. "Obscurial, there is no way, it was not easy to live that long."

"What about the child's mother? Didn't try to have another one? And, why didn't you say it just now?"

"Because she was a Muggle, and died shortly after giving birth to the child."

"This is not right, you mean, you just said you weren't married, because you felt a Muggle wife made you feel ashamed?" Clister had the keen thinking of an Auror, and his emotional intelligence didn't seem to be very high.

Of course, for Harry and Luo En who were listening to the fun in the secret passage, they hoped his emotional intelligence would be even lower.

"Do members of the Order of the Phoenix also discriminate against Muggles?" Clister said. "I think it shouldn't be like this, or is it that, in fact, you are not a very righteous person, but only because of Albus, people respect you so much?"

"Of course not! I have never discriminated against Muggles, and my status in the Order of the Phoenix has nothing to do with Albus!" Aberforth shouted excitedly.

"Then why didn't you introduce your Muggle wife to me at the beginning?"

"Because, because she was killed by Voldemort, I don't want to mention her, this is also the reason why I oppose dark wizards." Aberforth's tone was obviously a bit flustered. Even if he only relied on listening, Harry felt he was lying.

"Actually, I also remembered one thing, Obscurial is the embodiment of too high talent, in other words, only wizards and wizards can give birth to Obscurial, and the children of wizards and Muggles will not become Obscurial." Clister said relentlessly.
