Chapter 179 – Public Debate (2)
After we arrived, I had to realize how many people had recognized us. I still thought we were partially unknown or too insignificant to be known by face. Turns out, I was wrong. Was it our wanted posters? Well, I heard some people whispering it was because of the Triwizard tournament, including what my Father achieved at the end of it.
"Have you seen Neville?" I asked after sitting at an empty bench, watching the crowd and the podium a few yards away from our seats.
"No. Maybe he was told not to come? His presence with his followers could seriously splinter those who are supporting the Order and their candidates."
"You are right about that. I am curious about what kind of speeches they will give. I had never met this Schacklebolt before. I know nothing about him!"
"Me neither. Does it matter, though? He will retell the rhetoric that was given to him by Dumbledore. We all know who the real mastermind is. Plus..." She continued, looking around, gently moving her wand in the cover of her thighs.
"Nothing?"
"Nothing. I also don’t know if we could detect him if he is wearing the Invisibility Cloak."
"You would, I am fairly certain, after studying the Grimoire." I patted her hand with a smile, "We will be fine."
I believed that when I said it. If we were attacked today, I would be able to use it to my advantage fully and make sure Dumbledore gets treated the same way as Voldemort. I was confident in it... And honestly? Deep down, I wanted him to try it. Just do something stupid... something that I can take advantage of.
