Chapter 174 Dumbledore plays chess

"Chirp!"

It's the voice of Phoenix Fox.

Snape, who was warning Arnold at the door of the hall, frowned, pursed his lips and whispered: "Stop talking, Dumbledore is here."

"Severus, what happened in the castle?"

Under the leadership of Phoenix, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall hurried into the hall, and behind them, Bree.

Snape did not answer Dumbledore directly, but looked at Bree.

"I'm curious, doesn't Oude like the so-called fantasy game too?"

"Sorry, Professor, I was just talking to Professor Dumbledore when Fox suddenly appeared." Bree smiled helplessly and looked at Fox suspiciously.

He always felt weird, because just now Fawkes flew from the direction of the Forbidden Forest, but Dumbledore chose to come to the castle.

Snape snorted coldly and then turned his attention back to Dumbledore.

"It's Black. I found him. Unfortunately, he escaped very quickly. Maybe you should let me check every place to prevent Hogwarts from becoming a place for criminals."

"What's going on here?"

Lupine rushed back at this time and said: "Professor Flitwick just now hoped that Odd could come on stage to fight, but unfortunately he didn't find anyone. I'll come back and have a look."

"Are you talking about Blake?"

Snape's face turned foul, and he immediately said sarcastically: "Maybe someone brought him in. We all know that Hogwarts has good protection, and it is difficult for ordinary dark wizards to enter, unless there is a traitor...

…”

Snape's words froze the atmosphere for a moment, and Lupine's expression changed, because the traitor Snape mentioned clearly pointed at him.

Dumbledore smiled at this time.

"Don't say that. I want to believe James. You can't always be so hostile. This will affect your judgment. You must look at the problem carefully."

"You're right, Oded."

Bree, who was accidentally pointed out, frowned and nodded slightly: "Maybe you are right, Principal Dumbledore."

Look at the problem carefully, I'm afraid the so-called traitor is you, Dumbledore.

Bree saw through it without saying anything. Now Dumbledore is obviously favoring Lupine. His attitude towards Black is very strange and he never talks about it.

"Chirp!" The phoenix had just flown to the top of the building, and now it flew down.

Dumbledore's expression changed.

McGonagall said: "What happened, Dumbledore?"

Just now, Professor McGonagall watched Snape and Lupine confront each other. She has taught here for many years, and of course she knows about the grievances between Snape and Lupine. This is considered a good thing. If Snape and Sirius Black confront each other,

Yes, that would be a real disaster.

But now, there is obviously another problem, and it is not just as simple as Blake breaking in.

Dumbledore had no intention of hiding anything and said directly: "Come with me and have a look and we will find out."

"Of course, maybe Oded can come with this little wizard and stay safer with the professor." After that, he added: "Professor Lupin, please go to the Quidditch pitch and ask Sparrow

Take special care of the little wizards and don't let them return to the castle now."

Lupine nodded hesitantly and quickly ran to the Quidditch pitch.

At this time, Dumbledore led several people up the stairs.

When several people followed Phoenix to the principal's office, they realized that the principal's office had been attacked...

"Look carefully, Dumbledore, have you lost something?" Professor McGonagall looked anxious and said, "I just handed you the latest financial report and the key to Gringotts yesterday. This is not just Hogg.

Watts’ expenses, and your share of Halloween candy!”

"Oh!" Dumbledore's originally calm expression changed, and he hurried up, ran to the table, and opened the drawer.

"Phew, it's okay, the key is still there!"

Immediately afterwards, he ran to the bookshelf at the back and picked up a book. As he moved, the bookshelf slowly opened, revealing a large cabinet. He opened the cabinet and it was filled with candies.

"The candies are fine too. It doesn't seem like anything important was lost."

Dumbledore chuckled.

Snape glanced around. In the past few days, he had been looking for Black with the Marauder's Map, but the Marauder's Map only recorded the places he had visited. Obviously, Black knew the secret passages that were not on the map and often avoided them.

his pursuit.

Just now, he was taking out the map as usual, and discovered Blake again, and was about to catch him, but this astute guy escaped again...

etc!

Snape touched his arms.

The map is missing!

He must have lost it after chasing Blake and fighting the werewolf Bernard who suddenly appeared.

Snape was about to leave the principal's office. After all, Bernard had created this place. His target was Black, and he didn't want to get involved.

"Wait, Severus."

Dumbledore suddenly stopped Snape.

"Perhaps you can tell me that Black didn't create this place." Dumbledore looked at the broken door. Among the ruins, there was a bone filled with dark magic.

Dumbledore waved his hand, and the bone flew into his hand.

"This is the magic of the werewolf. I don't believe that Black colluded with the werewolf so quickly."

Werewolf?

The color inside the cloth suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he felt that he had been tricked.

Because when he mentioned werewolves, Dumbledore looked at him.

"A werewolf?" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

"Is that what Bree said before, the werewolf in the Forbidden Forest?"

When Dumbledore heard Professor McGonagall's exclamation, he walked back to the table and opened the drawer.

"I'm very sorry. It seems to be a werewolf because the contract in the Forbidden Forest is missing."

"You should tell the truth, Severus, rather than hide it...you are right, Slytherin boy."

Dumbledore looked at Arnold who said nothing.

"You can go out, Arnold, the werewolf has run back to the Forbidden Forest, and Black is hiding, or you can stay at the door because you are afraid."

"I-I'll go back to the lounge right now, Dean."

Arnold ran away in a hurry. He didn't want to face Dumbledore. He wasn't in good health now, and he didn't want to worry about Snape's affairs.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Snape snorted coldly, and then told what happened just now.

After listening, McGonagall said angrily: "You can't choose to hide it just because of the original grudge. Professor Snape, the child is still here."

Obviously, the child Professor McGonagall is talking about cannot be Dumbledore.

Bree smiled, he also wanted to leave here, but Dumbledore had already chosen to let him in.

"I want to put this matter on hold. The contract in the Forbidden Forest is not simple. It will take a lot of time for a werewolf to break it. I will let Fox go to the Forbidden Forest to watch." Dumbledore said with a deep look: "A werewolf will not do anything to it.

Hogwarts does harm, I promise."

Bree thought about what she saw in the prophecy: werewolves occupied Hogwarts...

"As for Black." Dumbledore pondered: "We should tell the young wizard about his existence. Of course, the Ministry of Magic will also know."

"Oh, Dumbledore...this." Professor McGonagall was a little hesitant, because Dumbledore's move would undoubtedly give the Ministry of Magic more reasons to send dementors to Hogwarts, which would give the Ministry of Magic more reason to send dementors to Hogwarts.

Their supervision is even more severe.

"It's okay, it's just outside the school. As long as I am still the principal, I will not let a dementor enter Hogwarts and harm the little wizards."

Dumbledore said firmly, which made Professor McGonagall put aside her refusal for the time being.

Snape said: "Then, I think I can go out, Dumbledore."

Snape glanced at Bree and left in confusion.

"Then please let me talk to Odd about something, Minerva. It's about the fantasy game. He's so hot, and the little wizards are very enthusiastic."

"Oh, if it's just this matter, of course." Professor McGonagall nodded and exited the principal's office, but she did not go far. Instead, she transformed into a tabby cat and squatted on the guardrail of the door.

"Ahem, sorry for bringing you into this, Ode."

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and looked at Bree with a smile.

Bree frowned and said: "Maybe you did it on purpose, Professor Dumbledore, the weather has started to get cold recently, and it's not comfortable for Fox to stay in the Forbidden Forest."

"Oh, haha, you saw it. Yes, yes, I let the things be stolen by the werewolves on purpose. I know they need this thing."

Hearing Dumbledore tell his plan bluntly, Bree said impatiently: "Maybe I have no obligation to help you deal with werewolves, or the Ministry of Magic, Principal Dumbledore."

"Wait a minute, Oded, you said it wrong. It was you who caused the werewolf incident. Don't forget the egg."

Egg?

Could it be that his patron saint turned into an egg and was taken out of the Forbidden Forest by Dumbledore at the beginning of school?

Bree wondered: "What does it have to do with it?"

Dumbledore explained: "You may remember that I said that there were some problems with the Forbidden Forest Contract, but what I didn't tell you was that the source of the problem was that egg."

"For some reason, it was bred in the Forbidden Forest and attracted the attention of the Forbidden Forest Contract and affected the power of the contract. After school started, I investigated in the Forbidden Forest, and I discovered that because the contract was affected, those werewolves took the opportunity to escape from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Escaped from the forbidden area..."

Dumbledore didn't say any more, but Bree already understood the whole story. It turned out that the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest were really his fault.

Bree had a terrible headache, and now he had no reason not to join the game.

"Haha." Dumbledore smiled happily. This was the first time that he made Bree feel embarrassed.

"Then what do I need to do?" Bree exhaled, wanting to hear Dumbledore's arrangements. He didn't believe that Dumbledore said this just to fight with him. Bree had to deal with the rest by himself. Obviously

, Dumbledore is playing a big game.

"I hope to use the Forbidden Forest as a place to experience the savior this year to prevent other young wizards from being implicated, Ode."

"ah?"

Bree never expected that Dumbledore would say this.

"Maybe you said savior, but I'm sorry, it has nothing to do with me."

"No, Oded, this is a request. It doesn't cost you much, and I'm very honest." As he said that, Dumbledore set a silencing spell so that the outside world couldn't hear what was said inside.

.

"Is this how honest you are?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, there are some things I just want you to know. Minerva's character is too fair and she won't allow me to do this."

Bree suppressed the complaints in her heart, and Dumbledore, like a naughty boy, sat on the messy chair, pushed away the clutter on the table, used the flying spell to summon the candies from the cabinet, and placed them on the table

Go up, pick up a piece of candy that looked like it was full of syrup, and eat it.

"Would you like a piece, Oude? This is a new type."

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Bree thought about it. At this time, Dumbledore obviously wanted to talk to him frankly about something. This move pushed him from the chess piece on the chessboard to the spectators, and it was on his side. This was a wonderful move.

I don't know how to refuse.

"Perhaps you can explain in more detail what I need to do. Of course, I won't be like a fool and risk my life just because I cause trouble."

"Oh, I know, you are a smart boy."

Of course he is smart. Dumbledore admired in his heart: A guy who is wandering between white and black will not accept the draw of white, nor will he be forced by black. He has his own fetters in both black and white. It is amazing.

Guy, it's only been two years, and he's still a thirteen-year-old kid...

"It was you who did the Ministry of Magic thing in the Daily Prophet today, right? Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade have been talking about it these days, but I didn't expect it to be published in the Daily Prophet. It's amazing.

, that uncle of yours...Tom?"

Tom was a familiar name, but there were so many people named Tom that Dumbledore didn't suspect anything.

"Yes, I was not prepared to let the Ministry of Magic suppress this matter peacefully when school started. I am the victim, and I will not endure it cowardly."

"It's a very European idea, hahaha, children should have the idea of ​​neither being humble nor being arrogant." Dumbledore laughed and said: "But it can't be too much. The Ministry of Magic cannot change its master at this time, even if Fudge is very ambitious.

, gathered the pure-blood forces and wanted to drive me away, but I understand that he will not take refuge in the darkness, this is destined."

"I don't have such an idea." Bree smiled. He would not get much benefit from Fudge stepping down now. The foundation of the Oude family is still too weak. If the next minister is from a pure-blood family, then it will be very difficult.

It’s not easy to handle.

"Oh, that's good if you understand." Dumbledore's eyes flashed.

"Then, just keep doing what you want to do. Although the Ministry of Magic is not suitable for changes, it is good to suppress it appropriately."

"Then I will find a way to get the Ministry of Magic to turn its target on werewolves..."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he stared at Bree with a smile.

"As you wish, Principal Dumbledore." Bree was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect Dumbledore to want this. Of course, this matter is not the point. The point is that Bree was willing not to interfere with Dumbledore's affairs.

It's what Dumbledore wants.

"Oh, by the way, maybe you don't know that the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest had negotiations with the werewolves from the outside world. Draco's father, Mr. Malfoy, received a request from the outside werewolves, but Mr. Malfoy was very smart and did not accept it.
