In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 526: Harry’s Issue

The Order of the Phoenix has not been reassembled in this world.

In the original story, it was only after Harry had witnessed the resurrection of Voldemort that the Order of the Phoenix, which had been disbanded more than ten years prior, was assembled again, and now that there was no such danger at hand, of course, Dumbledore would not do something that challenged the very nerves of the Ministry of Magic in such a way.

But in the present situation, of course, they could not just rely on Aurors alone.

The Order of the Phoenix also had to be assembled, and it was natural that Dumbledore himself should be the one to carry out that.

Lily, of course, kept this matter from Harry, and she behaved no differently than usual, not letting Harry see anything wrong with her, but during dinner, she became fully curious about Jon's current state of health.

"What danger have you been in now?"

Jon replied with vague words.

"Nothing, just some little experiment with Professor Dumbledore."

Lily looked at Jon with a sceptical look on her face, if she hadn't known how he got smaller, she might have believed him.

"What little experiment would put your life in danger?"

"Just a small experiment to study my body, it's almost complete, Professor Dumbledore has been a great help, otherwise it's not certain if I could finish it now if I were to get it done on my own."

Seeing that Jon didn't want to say much about it, Lily didn't ask any more questions as she looked over at Jon.

"When you said you had something to tell me in private, what did you want to talk about?"

There was a moment of silence from Jon regarding this; before he spoke once again.

"It's about Harry, have you noticed anything different in him when you've been in contact with him?"

Hearing that it would be a talk involving Harry, Lily instantly tensed up a bit, she had already spoken to Harry about the situation after this matter was resolved and both of them made a promise to each other, the two were destined to be separated, and each of them had to live well in their respective worlds, and they couldn't let the loss of their families cause them to fell into self depravity.

So, after hearing Jon talking about something related to Harry, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"No, Harry didn't display any peculiarities when he was around me, what did you find out?"

"I've had a few private conversations with Harry." Jon said with a frown, he hadn't lied about that and had indeed obtained some confirmation from the current Harry, "He said that he had had several nightmares about coming back to life in his own perspective within a ruined but gold-splendoured hall, and then killing Professor Dumbledore."

"I questioned him about the time he had this dream and was basically able to deduce that it was the night of the battle in the Ministry of Magic's Atrium, where Harry entered Voldemort's perspective and came back to life with him."

Lily's face paled a little, she wasn't sure where this was going yet, but anything to do with Voldemort was bound to be a bad thing, especially if it involved Harry.

"And then what?"

"I informed Professor Dumbledore of this matter as well, and then together we had a closer look at Harry's condition and found a highly probable possibility. That Harry, he too, had turned into one of Voldemort's Horcruxes."

Lily's face turned completely white.

There was no need for Jon to say more words after this, and she knew better than anyone else what it meant if Harry was also a piece of Horcruxes.

To kill Voldemort, all Horcruxes need to be destroyed, and to destroy the Horcruxes, the artefacts that hosted Voldemort's soul need to be completely destroyed, that is to say, if they really wanted to destroy all the Horcruxes, then Harry should be a part of this process.

Lily froze for a long moment before looking back up at Jon.

"So, what are you guys going to do?"

Jon shrugged, not acting as nervous as she was.

"The studies on Horcruxes, whether it's me or Professor Dumbledore, it's actually quite basic, but if there's anyone in the world who knows what to do about it, it would have to be Mr Slytherin."

Lily was guided by Jon at this point and thought about it as well.

"Right! This world's Slytherin portrait is still at the North Pole, we can go and get it!"

However, Jon shook his head.

"But we don't have enough time, Professor, don't forget that we set a bottom line at the beginning, that we would only stay in this world for two weeks at the most, and now eleven days have already passed. And that underground labyrinth at the North Pole, the exact method of entry and location to it, is not something that can be found in a short period of time."

"So how are we going to proceed with this?" Lily knew that since Jon made this statement, it meant that he already had a solution.

"Take Harry with us first." Jon said seriously, "Let him come with us, in our world, Mr Slytherin studied Horcruxes much more in-depth, he was the one who helped Voldemort who travelled back in time, to perfect a way to retrieve them, so he will definitely have some solution for Harry's current situation too. But we both know that our world is highly dangerous, and even if we go back now we can't even be sure what exactly it has been reduced to; whether Headmaster Grindelwald has defended Northern Europe or not, or if Voldemort has started a new war or not."

Lily, however, was very decisive about this.

"I agree to take Harry with us."

It was clear to her that even if the other world was more dangerous, it would still solve Harry's dilemma of being a Horcrux, but if she had to stay in this world all the time, would she turn a blind eye to their world's plight?

Hearing her answer like that, Jon wasn't much surprised, but nevertheless, he let go of one of his concerns.

Giving Lily a head start on Harry would save him the trouble afterwards.

As for tomorrow's operation, this naturally doesn't require Jon to think too much, Dumbledore will arrange everything, he just needs to act according to the situation and follow along as a fighter.

Regarding the Death Eater force organised by this world's golden cup Voldemort, Jon didn't have much to worry about.

Not to mention the number of people he could gather, the Horcrux of Voldemort and Voldemort himself were two completely different concepts, besides, even if Voldemort himself came, now that there is both Dumbledore and Jon present, he would not be able to set off any kind of wind and waves.

So by the scheduled time on the second day, Jon followed Dumbledore and Lily to join up with the Ministry of Magic's Aurors who were leading the charge.

Naturally, there were quite a few acquaintances he recognised in this team, Kingsley, Moody and Tonks were all present.

Most of these people still thought that their operation today was just about capturing escaped Death Eaters, and didn't realise that it was also related to Voldemort.

It wasn't that the information hadn't been passed on to them, but the topic of Voldemort's return had always been controversial, and the current head of the Auror's office didn't believe any of that "nonsense".

Therefore, the possibility of encountering Voldemort on this mission was told as a joke to his subordinates.
