In the principal's office at Hogwarts, after listening to Ryan and Hermione's excuses, Dumbledore put his hands on the table and began to think. The golden sunlight in the early morning poured in from the window, which made Dumbledore, who had his back to the window,
A golden border is outlined around it.
"Okay, I need to admit that it is very unreasonable to ask you to keep your hands at that time." After thinking for a while, Dumbledore said, "But I still hope that you two will try as little as possible when encountering a fight.
Kill some people. Because killing affects people’s souls.”
It is not much different from what Ryan expected. As an old man who has experienced two cruel wars, Professor Dumbledore only has principles and a bottom line. He is not as stubborn as many people think. So if there is a reasonable explanation,
Naturally, he accepted what Ryan and Hermione had done in the Ministry of Magic in London.
Of course, Dumbledore didn't just choose to believe what Ryan and the others said. Before Ryan and the others arrived, he had already obtained the hidden stakes of the Ministry of Magic in London and the rescued muggle wizards who had fled here one after another yesterday.
After a comparison between the two parties, Dumbledore verified that there should be no problem with what Ryan said.
But before he could be completely reassured, Principal Dumbledore had one more question to ask. "Ryan, Hermione, can you tell me why you didn't go back directly after the battle with the ambushers?
The Ministry of Magic in London.”
"That's right, because we captured something from the ambushers." Hermione said and took out a piece of parchment from the space pocket, which he had found from Delis before.
"This is the list." Dumbledore took the piece of paper and read it carefully. The identities and addresses of seven or eight people were listed on the parchment, and behind each person's name was the word "need to be arrested."
"These are some innocent muck wizards." Dumbledore said after reading the list. As a principal who has worked at Hogwarts for nearly 50 years, these people on the list are all his students. Naturally
He knew exactly why these people were targeted for arrest by the Ministry of Magic in London.
"Yes, because one of the names here is a parent of a classmate we know. So after seeing this list, we thought that since we have that ability, we should go to the Ministry of Magic to save those innocent people." Ryan added.
"You know I usually carry a lot of supplies with me, so I immediately checked that everything was complete and set off immediately."
"So that's it!" Dumbledore nodded, and everything made sense to him now. After all, Ryan and Hermione were both young people who became passionate after seeing some kind of unfair or evil phenomenon.
It's absolutely understandable to come forward. But compared to other peers, Ryan and the others are much more hands-on.
At the same time, this kind of lone wolf random attack not only failed to occur to Principal Dumbledore, who knew Ryan better, but also to Voldemort, their enemy. Therefore, London magic suddenly and unpreparedly
It can be said that there was chaos after the attack, which also created extremely favorable conditions for Ryan and the others to carry out this miraculous attack.
"But I still hope that you'd better discuss it with us before doing anything in the future. You must know that you are not fighting alone." Principal Dumbledore warned. "In fact, an ambush like the one you did at the beginning is very dangerous.
It's just that I didn't stop you out of trust in your strength. But I didn't expect that you would suddenly decide to go to the Ministry of Magic."
"Children, I commend you for the justice and bravery you showed yesterday. But as an educator, I must criticize your reckless behavior. I hope this will never happen again." Finally, Dumbledore
To sum up.
"I know, this kind of thing will never happen again." Ryan and Hermione assured in unison.
After discussing this matter, Dumbledore began to ask about Harry. "Ryan, could you please check the scarecrow that is now here? I am a little nervous about this matter."
"Of course, Professor." Ryan nodded and stood up. Then he walked to the black scarecrow and began to inspect it carefully. After reciting a large number of spells and making a series of gestures, he took out a piece of talisman paper.
Put it on his chest. Soon, the talisman paper became blackened little by little from top to bottom, but strangely, there was no trace of flame on it.
"Everything is normal." After watching the talisman in his hand turn completely black, become brittle, and disappear, Ryan turned around and said to Dumbledore. "The soul hidden in Harry by the mysterious man is different from the straw man."
The connection between us is getting closer and closer, and I think in a week we will be able to permanently solve this problem."
"Ah, that's good." Dumbledore stroked his beard and nodded, "After destroying this soul, the next thing is the last snake. But what's very bad is that for some reason
, Voldemort is now inseparable from the snake. We really can't find a way to kill the snake."
"What a sad news." Ryan said. "Since he didn't hide the snake in any hidden place, this should be considered a good thing. At least it can let us know clearly where our target is.
.”
"Listening to what you said, it's not bad news that the snake is with Voldemort." Dumbledore showed a smile on his face. "Your mentality is very good, and what we need now is this optimistic mentality.
.”
"Professor Dumbledore," after watching Ryan complete the test on the current straw man, Hermione thought of something and asked directly. "What is the situation of the war now? The news we got in France last week
It’s not good, they even publicly refused to recognize the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade. When talking to Madam Maxime, we found that they didn’t think much of us at all.”
"There is no way. Although we have stabilized the front and ensured that Scotland and Ireland are under our control, no matter in terms of financial resources or manpower, we really cannot compare with the Ministry of Magic controlled by the pure-blood wizard families in London." Dumbledore said.
He said in a slow tone, "The only chance we have to win in a short time now is to completely eliminate Voldemort through a decisive battle."
Speaking of this, Dumbledore shook his head. "But Voldemort has been elusive since the last time he intercepted Harry. It is difficult for us to complete the beheading operation. At the same time, with an absolute advantage, those pure-blood families are trying every means to reduce Voldemort's presence."
They have the urge to kill Harry in a short time. They would rather use their existing advantages to strangle us little by little."
"Originally, those pure-blood wizards have an advantage in personal combat, but we have a numerical advantage. But now that the United States has intervened, dark wizards from all over the country are rushing to the UK in a steady stream."
"So after all, it's still a matter of money. It's really too bad for us that Gringotts is controlled by London." Ryan immediately understood the problem.
Under the current circumstances, although the Magical Congress of the United States intervened in the civil war in the British wizarding world, they did not dare to directly break the international agreement signed by wizards from various countries not to intervene in the civil war. Therefore, they communicated through the financial institutions of both parties.
contacts for the flow of funds.
The fact that Gringotts in the United Kingdom and the United States came from the same source greatly facilitated the flow of funds between them. Funds from the United States continued to flow into Gringotts, and were later used by Voldemort to employ the entire Europe.
The scum and many dark creatures entered the battlefield and consumed Dumbledore's side.
"It seems that we have to find a way. At least we can't use half the strength of Britain to resist the dark side of the entire European wizarding world like we do now." Hermione concluded in the end.
