Chapter 1637 A war without a winner (eighty-seven)
Not long after Percy left, Kingsley finished reading the report on werewolves. He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, then completely put down the work at hand and moved his eyes to the wall again.
Dumbledore's portrait.
"Did you all guess that this would happen from the beginning?" Kingsley refilled a cup of strong tea for himself, took a sip, and looked calmly at the old man in the portrait who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
After hearing Kingsley's inquiry, the old man in the portrait slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kingsley.
"It's such a mess." Kingsley's tone was extremely resentful, "You are all like this. Whether it's you or Albert Anderson, you just threw the mess at me. What do you want me to do?
"
Dumbledore understood Kingsley's mood very well and wanted to give Kingsley some help, but he was already dead.
Now it's just a portrait.
What a painting can do is very limited. Even if you want to give Kingsley some advice, it may not be effective. Instead, it may disrupt Kingsley's normal thinking.
not to mention!
The dead cannot interfere with the world of the living, Dumbledore knows this better than anyone else.
Therefore, after he was hung up by Kingsley in the minister's office, he kept silent, pretending that he was just a enchanted portrait, and did not have any communication with Kingsley.
But Kingsley seemed determined that he could talk.
Well, maybe Albert gave him a hint.
To be honest, it was not difficult for Dumbledore to guess the reason why he was hung up here by Kingsley: it had something to do with himself.
During his lifetime, Dumbledore threw many problems to Albert to solve, which caused Albert to throw the problems back to him.
It's kind of a boomerang.
To be honest, it's too much to ask a dead man to get up and continue working.
But Albert is obviously not as helpless as Kingsley is now about a dead man. The Resurrection Stone in the Deathly Hallows is still in his hand, so Dumbledore is forced to help Kingsley solve the current mess.
.
However, Dumbledore, who did not want to continue working after death, had no choice but to pretend to be dead in front of Kingsley. He planned to go to Albert another day and throw the problem back to him.
But Kingsley obviously had no intention of letting Dumbledore go easily, and kept chattering to himself alone.
"I never wanted to drive them all out, but they have done so many bad things and must pay a price. Everyone must be given an explanation." Kingsley was vomiting bitterness and telling his story to Dumbledore's portrait.
Not easy, as well as the numerous crimes committed by pure-blood wizards who took refuge in Voldemort, it was also a way to vent the pressure that had been accumulated in my heart recently.
"But those guys who surrendered to Voldemort are like a group of unreasonable lunatics." Kingsley's eyes flashed with disgust, "Not only were they unwilling to appreciate it, they also made desperate moves like lunatics, threatening the entire British wizarding world to them.
Make way, or it will all be smashed to pieces."
"But how is that possible? Even if I am willing to compromise taking the overall situation into consideration, what about the others?" Kingsley said with a bitter smile, "Those who participated in the Second Wizarding War and survived by luck are all waiting for an explanation!"
"If the Ministry of Magic cannot give them an explanation, they will ask the dark wizards themselves for an explanation, and anyone who stands in the way must die." Kingsley couldn't help but look ugly as he recalled Albert's original words and warning.
’s wry smile.
"You know, those bastards are actually planning to wholesale manufacture a large number of werewolves now, and they have even been doing it for a long time." Kingsley's excited tone became more and more uncontrollable, "I don't know how to deal with this now.
It’s over.”
Dumbledore looked sympathetically at his old friend who was almost losing control of his emotions. His mood was particularly complicated, because he also knew that part of this was because the other party wanted to force him to speak and help solve this big problem, but Dumbledore could give him some help.
Any solution?
No, he can't solve anything.
Werewolves have always been a vexing problem, and there is still no good solution since ancient times.
Dumbledore also discussed the solution to this matter with Albert, but the two sides had major differences on this matter.
Because Albert's solution is to kill.
Especially when werewolves appear in danger, use black magic to kill them directly to ensure that no one will be injured or infected.
But that was undoubtedly too cruel, and it was not in line with Dumbledore's style of conduct, but he himself could not give a suitable solution.
Originally it wasn't his turn to worry about a dead person, but Albert forcefully forced this problem onto him.
Because they actually know very well in their hearts that if werewolves really start to spread because of dark wizards, killing werewolves will be the final solution.
Albert had already done it once during the Second Battle, so this time it was Dumbledore's turn to deal with it.
He suspected that this was Albert's deliberate trouble for himself, and only he could do such a thing.
Of course, there is another possibility.
Dumbledore suspected that Albert planned to use this opportunity to solve many problems at once, because now was indeed the best opportunity, and Kingsley had probably considered it as his last backup plan.
Yes.
If you can't solve the problem, then get rid of the people who created the problem.
This has always been the most common solution in the world.
But that was too harsh, so Kingsley hoped to find other solutions.
Unfortunately, it has not been found so far.
He watched Kingsley open the drawer and take out a piece of parchment. On this parchment, there were records about the pure-blood wizard families who had supported Voldemort. Several surnames had been crossed out.
"Sure enough, as Albert said, the Ministry of Magic wants to change, and there are some problems that cannot be avoided no matter what. It cannot continue without killing people and causing a river of blood." Kingsley said as he spoke.
He picked up the two documents, looked at them carefully, crossed out a last name, and wrote their crimes next to the parchment.
"There is nothing we can do about it. We can only say that they are seeking death." He murmured to himself. "I'm afraid they will never encounter such a good opportunity again in the future."
As for the demise of the ancient wizard families, there is nothing that can be done about it. Anyway, many pure-blood families have gradually become extinct as time goes by.
As for whether it will offend other pure-blood families.
As long as they committed an unforgivable crime, Kingsley felt that others would probably raise their hands in favor of killing them.
This is the tide of the times!
He could only keep walking.
As for Dumbledore.
When the portrait chose to remain silent, Kingsley knew that he most likely couldn't count on the other person.
