Chapter 183: Analysis

Felix Harp stood quietly on the side, his mind spinning rapidly.

Dumbledore's words were pointedly clear, referring to Harry Potter and Sirius Black.

The unexpected connection between the two was something he had never imagined.

And Sirius Black, accused of being a Death Eater who betrayed his best friend, Harry's father.

Felix thought of an organization active during the war - the Order of the Phoenix. It was a secret organization founded by Dumbledore to resist Voldemort, assisting the Ministry of Magic in fighting against Voldemort and his Death Eaters during the war.

The Order of the Phoenix was not well-known, and it disbanded after Voldemort's disappearance in 1981 and the victory in the war.

Felix knew of this name because he was acquainted with Professor Toftwood of the Wizarding Examinations Authority - also an expert in ancient magical texts, whom Felix had visited before.

Professor Toftwood had mentioned this organization in passing, praising the bravery of the Order of the Phoenix members, but he hadn't revealed specific names.This chapter was first shared on the N??v€l?1n platform.

But Felix speculated that at least Harry's parents, Sirius, and that Peter should all be members of the Order of the Phoenix.

No wonder... no wonder Dumbledore was so furious.

From being best friends at school to close comrades after graduation, and the bond of kinship formed due to Harry's birth, this should have been an unbreakable friendship.

Yet Sirius Black chose betrayal.

And what role did Severus Snape play? Based on the information Felix had found during school, after the war, Snape was accused of being a Death Eater. However, Dumbledore vouched for him as an undercover agent and prevented him from facing the trial at Azkaban.

Otherwise, Hogwarts wouldn't have had such a snarky professor.

"So, Severus should also be a member of the Order of the Phoenix."

Felix didn't know much about his headmaster's experiences during his school days, but he at least knew that the relationship between Snape and the Potter couple was complicated: he had a history with Harry's mother - perhaps with a touch of admiration, but he was archenemies with Harry's father.

They wouldn't start fighting during their meetings, would they?

...

"Felix," Dumbledore turned his head, his bright blue gaze piercing through his glasses, landing on him, "You are a professor of the school, and I hope not to see you make the wrong choices."

Felix blinked, "Headmaster, you don't need to say that. I also prioritize the safety of the students. Besides, my relationship with Mr. Potter is good. I even trained him during the summer break."

But the Black family's collection of books is a different matter, isn't it?

Felix was quite clear about the distinction between these two.

Moreover, if the house was under a Fidelius Charm, then he would indeed be at a loss.

But according to Phineas Black, he also had a portrait within the Black ancestral home, which meant he had a good understanding of the house. For the sake of saving the last bloodline of the Black family, he wouldn't have Felix working in vain.

Besides, this wasn't a safe house; employing the Fidelius Charm would be too cumbersome.

Another key clue provided by Headmaster Phineas Black was that they needed something "unique to the noble Black family." What could that be?

Felix had some speculations already.

The Room of Requirement.

Felix sat on the couch, beckoning a thick book over. It was "The Pure-Blood Directory" by Cantankerus Nott, which contained information about the so-called "Sacred Twenty-Eight" families.

Turning to the section about the Black family, he quickly skimmed past the list of family members and their deeds.

His gaze landed on the emblem of the Black family, bearing the French phrase, "Toujours Pur" - "Always Pure."

He chuckled.

For the noble, always pure Black family, what could be truly unique?

Only bloodline.

All he needed was a drop of Sirius Black's blood, and he could enter the Black ancestral home, catching a glimpse of its hidden treasures...

Emerging from the Room of Requirement, Felix looked at Hogwarts' nighttime scenery, his gaze merging with the darkness.

Sirius, where are you really?
