Chapter 280 I am an undercover agent
The atmosphere at the entrance of the stone house became somewhat heavy for a moment.
The name of Voldemort, the most powerful and dangerous dark wizard in history, weighs heavily on everyone's mind.
Belvina had initially thought that as the investigation into the whole matter unfolded step by step, her worries would gradually lessen.
But when Sirius and Lupin brought back the worst news, Belvina's worries increased, and she felt a sense of unease, as if she might stumble at any moment.
The disappearance of Bertha Jorkins, the riots at the World Cup camp, the Dark Mark that has been missing for many years, and Voldemort lurking in Albania—every step is lagging behind, every step is being led by the nose.
That won't do, absolutely not.
We must take the initiative into our own hands, otherwise we can only be passively attacked.
A purely defensive approach is impossible to maintain; even if it works for a while, it won't last forever.
The Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, and the Triwizard Tournament are all too large a business, making it impossible to attend to every detail, which will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.
Since we can't hold on, we might as well go for something big.
Find an opportunity to trick the other party, seize the initiative, and turn defense into offense.
Then, they'll openly confront Voldemort and see who's the real deal, let's put them to the test and see who's the best.
Belvina refused to believe that Voldemort, who had been hiding in Albania, could cause such a stir as soon as he returned to England.
Instead of cowering in Hogwarts, we should go all out and take the initiative to break Voldemort's claws!
Let's just do it!
Even if it means death, it's on the way to the charge!
At worst, we can take everyone with us to see Merlin!
As the teacup clattered to the ground, Belvina abruptly stood up. She had a plan, a very big plan.
The teacup shattered on the ground, shards of porcelain flying everywhere, and tea splashed all over Sirius's trouser leg.
Sirius nimbly jumped aside, then stared in astonishment at Belvina, who had suddenly gone mad with fright.
"Why are you smashing cups for no reason?" Sirius said. "Cups don't cost money, can you please stop wasting things?"
Sitting on the big rock, Lupin kept his eyes down, seemingly lost in thought. He had no idea what Belvina was plotting, but Sirius was probably not far from getting a beating.
"I have a plan, a very big plan," Belvina said confidently. "If the plan succeeds, we won't have to be on the defensive anymore."
"Your so-called plan gives me a bad feeling." Sirius Black's playful demeanor vanished, replaced by utmost seriousness.
Lupin nodded in deep agreement, indicating his approval of Sirius.
Although they didn't know what mischief Belvina was up to this time, based on their understanding of her, the plan was bound to be complicated.
"Is there not even this much trust between people?" Belvina complained. "We're siblings, blood relatives, born of the same mother!"
"It's because we're siblings from the same mother that I have this bad feeling," Sirius said uneasily. "Are you trying to fish again, and who are you planning to use as bait?"
Damn!
The plan has been exposed!
Belvina, whose face had dried naturally after sleeping, blushed for once.
"I'm going to use the mole in the Triwizard Tournament to lure you in," Belvina said, glancing furtively at Sirius as she spoke.
Sirius remained noncommittal, neither saying yes nor no.
The Triwizard Tournament was originally in Belvina's control, and even if Sirius disagreed, he couldn't stop her from tampering with it.
"Furthermore," Belvina suddenly became cautious, "I want to use—" she was still watching Sirius's attitude, "I also want to use Harry to lure Voldemort into a trap."
She blurted out her true purpose as if Sirius would agree to this extremely risky plan if she spoke fast enough.
"Impossible, I disagree."
Unfortunately, Sirius Black disagreed with taking Harry on a risk.
Out of his love for Harry, Sirius Black rejected Belvina's plan without hesitation.
The silent Lupin also disapproved of taking risks with Harry; using Harry as bait for fishing was something Belvina could only come up with.
"Harry is only fourteen years old. He won't be able to protect himself if he's in danger," Sirius said seriously. "I strongly object, and Dumbledore won't agree either."
"What's the fun in life if there's no adventure?" Belvina said quietly. "You said that, didn't you?"
）
"That's different!" Sirius paced irritably in the open space in front of the door. "Harry's only fourteen! That's not an adventure, that's suicide!"
One is a fourth-year student at Hogwarts, and the other is the most dangerous dark wizard in history; the outcome is self-evident.
Even though Harry had escaped the Killing Curse while naked, Sirius Black still didn't dare to gamble and let Harry fall into Voldemort's hands.
"What in this world can be done easily without taking any risks?" Belvina retorted. "Besides, we can't be sure if Harry will even bite. What if he doesn't?"
"Did you even believe that when you said that?" Sirius Black's rugged face hardened with anger. "Who doesn't know Voldemort wanted to kill Harry!"
Belvina stepped forward and stood in front of Sirius. After several months of recuperation, Sirius was no longer the skinny, skeletal figure he once was.
Although he is no longer as handsome as he was in his youth, the passage of time and hardship have given him more depth, maturity, perseverance, and courage.
The only thing that remains unchanged is his inherent pursuit of adventure, which is why he rushed to the Black Forest to investigate as soon as he learned of the clues related to Voldemort.
However, Sirius's boldness turned into hesitation when Belvina's daring and radical fishing plan involved Harry.
Sirius Black knew better than anyone that Harry couldn't stay under someone else's protection forever; sooner or later he would stand before Voldemort and end their fates together.
However, Sirius hoped that day would come later, the later the better.
If possible, he hoped Harry would have more time to grow so that he would be more confident in facing Voldemort.
At this moment, Sirius's heart felt like it was being roasted over a fire. On one hand, he knew that Harry had to face his cruel fate, but on the other hand, he didn't want Harry to put himself in danger.
"I know you feel sorry for Harry and want to do everything you can to protect him, but Sirius—"
Belvina paused for a moment, then changed the subject and continued, "No matter how beautiful the flowers in the greenhouse are, they can't withstand the onslaught of storms."
In fact, Belvina cared a great deal about Harry's safety, far more than Sirius imagined.
However, the brother and sister have different perspectives, so their choices are naturally different as well.
One person hopes that day will come as late as possible, while the other knows that day is coming soon.
Belvina knew that Harry didn't have much time left, so she decided to force him to grow up quickly, letting the cruel reality compel him to mature.
Furthermore, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
If we don't use Harry as bait, will Voldemort take the bait?
"Sirius, it's time to let go. How can Harry grow up without experiencing the ups and downs of life?" Belvina continued to persuade him.
She didn't stand on moral high ground to condemn Sirius's selfishness; instead, she patiently tried to persuade him.
Sirius remained silent, staring blankly at the competition venue under construction. "Besides, I believe Professor Dumbledore will agree to my plan," Belvina said. "This is the best way I can think of to break the deadlock."
Seemingly to comfort Sirius, Belvina continued in a seemingly relaxed manner, "Maybe—we've been overthinking the whole thing from the beginning? Jorkins' disappearance was an accident, and the riot at the campsite was just an isolated incident."
Sirius remained silent, only giving a strange, pursed-lip expression.
Everything that has happened since summer has been strange and bizarre; it's impossible that they are all isolated incidents.
This kind of nonsense might fool Cornelius Fudge, but trying to fool Sirius Black is really asking for trouble.
At this moment, Lu Ping, who had been silent all along, stood up. He left the large rock he could lean on and dragged his tired body between the brother and sister.
"Belvina, you need to reveal some of your plans to us so we can make a more accurate judgment," Lupin said. "Right now, we know nothing, how can we trust your plans?"
Upon hearing this, Belvina secretly gave Lupin a thank-you look.
Unexpectedly, her words were a flirtatious gesture; Lupin paid no heed to her thanks, only interested in the plan itself.
"Of course, it's still the Triwizard Tournament." Belvina sighed. "I plan to have Harry become a champion and represent Hogwarts in the tournament."
Although I already knew that Belvina's plan was not simple, I never expected her to go this far!
Lupin gasped, Sirius turned around abruptly, and the two looked at Belvina in shock, unable to believe their ears.
Putting aside the possibility of Voldemort and his cronies lurking in the shadows, the three events of the Triwizard Tournament alone would be enough to give Harry a run for his money, and he might even lose his life as a result.
If Sirius and Lupin hadn't known Belvina well enough, they would have almost suspected she was an undercover agent.
The first event in the Triwizard Tournament was the dragon battle. It took six or seven well-trained adult wizards to barely subdue a single dragon, demonstrating its aggressiveness and destructive power.
Sending Harry, who is only fourteen years old, to fight a dragon, especially a female dragon that is incubating its eggs, is too radical an idea!
Although Harry made great progress after taking extra classes outside of school, those were fire dragons! The amount of knowledge he gained in extra classes was like a grain of sand; the real test would be the Sahara!
"As the main person in charge of the Triwizard Tournament, it's easy for me to rig things," Belvina continued. "And there's no need to worry about the competition itself; I'll devise a strategy for Harry."
To speak so openly about using connections and to blatantly cheat—Belvina Black, you truly live up to your reputation!
"Next, all we need to do is keep a close eye on Harry. If anyone has any improper thoughts about him, take them down immediately!" Belvina continued, raising her hand as she made a throat-slitting gesture.
Lupin shook his head helplessly, feeling that Belvina's ailment was probably incurable.
This isn't just about using Harry as bait; Belvina is also betting herself at the card table, showing an even greater gambling instinct than Ludo Bagman.
After a while, until the boiling water in the teapot had cooled down, Sirius, who had been thinking for a long time, finally spoke slowly.
He said, "If Dumbledore agrees to carry out your plan—let's call it a plan—I'll agree as long as he agrees."
Without a word, Belvina grabbed Sirius and Lupin and headed straight for the castle along the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
