Chapter 287 Telling (2)
——I believe you big-headed ghost!
McGuffin immediately realized that everything this time was still under the control of the old bee.
"The secondhand shopkeeper?"
"I know him……"
"Gringos just can't be trusted..."
"However, does he have such a great ability?"
The wizards began to talk about it.
With Dumbledore's continued encouragement, McGuffin continued after they quieted down.
"After that, Harry and I were forced to separate!"
"Les Finley opened another passage... to the room where the secret of the World Tree is said to be buried!"
"That is the sky above the old classroom... there is a secret space created by magic."
"That's where Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape and Hagrid found us..."
"world Tree?"
Professor McGonagall was surprised.
"But... isn't the Ministry of Magic already prohibiting the cultivation of World Trees?"
Cornelius Fudge reacted too.
"I knew it!"
"Idiot druid wizards, damn African voodoo wizards... Only they are obsessed with pursuing such illusory legends..."
He then explained to the professors,
——When this kind of thing happened in the magic world (giant magic plants appeared), they investigated the legends about giant magic plants and the related magic that could cause this situation.
Naturally, they have investigated the world tree, the most famous magic giant tree in legends, in detail.
After the end of the wizarding era in ancient Rome, and before the rise of magic schools and the Ministry of Magic, it was an era when various schools, pure-blood wizard families, dark creatures, and many outstanding wild wizards ruled together.
The line between Muggles and wizards is not so clear yet.
Wizards have different purposes and ambitions. Some pursue immortality, some hang out among the Muggle nobles and want to control the world, and some want to follow the path of wizards in the Middle Ages... breaking through the boundaries of magic and becoming the existence of the world'God'.
One of the most famous genres is the Druid tree shepherd genre that pursues the legendary World Tree to break through the boundaries of magic, and the African Algerian voodoo masters. Although their understanding of the World Tree is different, they have been pursuing it for thousands of years, trying to revive the legendary World Tree to change the world and break through the boundaries of magic.
However, according to the investigations conducted by the Ministry of Magic of various countries in the world, these wizard schools gradually faded after the rise of the magic academy, and disappeared among some wizard families.
Moreover, the legend of the World Tree has been continuously proven in history, and it has been recognized as a false legend, an illusion,... No one can obtain the legendary adult World Tree at all.
"The first tree, the oldest tree... The legendary World Tree has never been found for centuries!...I didn't expect there to be such a madman... just because of such a madman, the whole magic world is turned upside down!" Fudge cursed.
He then told the bewildered wizard nearby.
In the legend, the World Tree can only have the legendary effect when it enters adulthood, covers the sky and the sun, and completely covers a hill.
Therefore, the world tree has a long history of cultivation in the wizarding world, but no one has truly matured it.
In addition, in the process of nurturing, a certain amount of magic power will be consumed by the wizard, which will cause the growth of the magic power of the wizard to become slower than that of others.
So when the Ministry of Magic was first established, wizards believed that cultivating the World Tree was a practice that was not worth the candle and would hinder the growth of wizards, so they issued a ban.
So now this plant has gradually disappeared, and no one cultivates it anymore.
"Although I was able to get a kind of revelation when I first contracted with the seed of the world tree, a kind of feeling is like the legendary 'divine revelation', which can make people feel omnipotent, so that they can learn quickly or create a kind of magic... But this kind of exchange is not worth the loss..."
After Fudge finished explaining, McGuffin raised his hand, and an emerald green seedling that was slightly fluorescent, floating and emerging from the palm of his hand.
"Is this the World Tree?"
"Sapling?" Fudge couldn't hold back.
"That's right, seedlings!"
"Les Finley brought me there because he wanted to find a student he was more familiar with... Try to see if you can find the mythical World Tree from the legend of Hufflepuff."
McGuffin said, "Then saw the seedlings...he went crazy!"
"crazy!"
cried the Ministry official next to Fudge in disbelief.
"Yes, he didn't believe me, and then went directly to connect to Hufflepuff's inheritance... to get the World Tree!"
"I don't know why...he went crazy...and turned into a monster, a monster with three heads, six arms and eight eyes, covered in scales!"
McGuffin described in detail the horrifying appearance of Les Finley after being alienated by magic.
To draw people's attention away from his own nonsense, lest people actually find some loopholes, or suspect that Les Finley was forcibly demoted by the McGuffin.
"Harry saw the monster too... and Ms. Grey!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask for proof!"
McGuffin said.
Harry affirmed what McGuffin said—he did see the monster.
Several adult wizards glanced at each other.
"It feels a bit like those giant tribes in India..."
"No, it sounds a bit like the deformed monsters created by the ancient wizards in that ancient eastern country, just like the five-legged monsters here."
"However, it does look like some kind of defensive device... In the era when Hogwarts was founded, it is said that the Big Four once exchanged magic with some Eastern wizards, which seems true..."
"Dumbledore, do you know about this? What are Hogwarts' records about this old classroom...why is that room kept sealed!"
Someone asked sharply.
"The specific situation of this classroom... I don't know. Ms. Gray and Mr. Barrow should be the most clear. After all, after the Big Four left Hogwarts, this classroom was sealed in the castle... and there is no written word left..."
"And this change of Les Finley's is a bit like some kind of magic out of control accident, a malicious black magic deformation..."
After they had a private discussion, they then began to let Harry and the others talk about what happened next. .
After taking a sip of water, Harry continued... how they met Voldemort.
"Dark Lord?"
"That's impossible?" Fudge hastily denied it.
Now that people are panicking, let people know that it is related to Voldemort.
—It's going to be a big mess.
"How did you know that he is a mysterious man!"
Harry then described what Voldemort looked like, a thin, handsome young wizard.
This gave Cornelius Fudge a sigh of relief, and he said with a smile, "Potter! This is not the Dark Lord... You must have been deceived. There are many dark wizards who always want to use the name of the mysterious man to intimidate others...or blame the most cruel dark wizard in history..."
"Eleven years ago, that is, the year you were born... many cruel and bloody events were done in the name of Voldemort... After investigation, it was all done by other dark creatures and dark wizards!"
"Harry! Although I haven't seen the Dark Lord with my own eyes, I know that he is a terrifying and infiltrating monster... The word handsome is far from being related."
"I'm sure that this incident is the result of this black wizard and that idiot Les Finley's partnership...As for Professor Lockhart, he is just a poor unlucky bastard!"
Cornelius Fudge excused Harry... He pretended to laugh, but then Harry's excuses made him unable to maintain this bright expression.
"Yes, but he said his name was Tom Marvolo Riddle! Said it was a memory of his..."
Apparently Fudge and the Ministry official knew the name.
The faces of the two of them changed drastically, and they glanced at each other uglyly.
Dumbledore said, "This is indeed his name. 50 years ago, I taught him in Hogwarts himself. After leaving the school, he disappeared ... Tour the four parties, walk around the horizon, ... The more the black magic quagmires are deeper, and the worst wizards are mixed. Re -appearing ... rarely associates him with the wise and handsome male student union chairman who is studying here. "
"But . . . that's impossible!" said Fudge, very faintly. "The Ministry of Magic is watching him. It is said that he is lingering in the Black Forest of Romania..."
"Connelly!" The wizard next to him interrupted him sharply.
Fudge obviously slipped the tongue in a moment of shock. They have been denying that the Dark Lord is alive all these years. Now if the Minister of Magic admits it himself, all their efforts in the past 11 years will be in vain.
Although just in case, they have been arranging trustworthy and powerful Aurors to look for clues left by Voldemort.
But then Dumbledore gently said a piece of news that surprised them even more,
"You are wrong. According to my latest information, he is currently hiding in the Albanian forest."
"Professor, you..."
"Okay, Minister, let Harry and the others finish this matter...let's discuss matters related to Voldemort!" Dumbledore signaled Harry to continue.
The faces of the others were livid, and there was a little fear in their expressions. They didn't want to hear the name and wanted to avoid the topic, so they hurriedly agreed to let Harry continue.
Then Harry told them that Voldemort forced the three of them to play a chase and fight game with the basilisk. Fortunately, Fox arrived in time and presented him with the sorting hat and a sword.
"After the basilisk's eyes were pecked blind, Fox was swallowed by the basilisk..."
Harry looked at Dumbledore hesitantly.
Perhaps seeing his suspicion, Dumbledore explained, "Fox was only temporarily imprisoned in the basilisk's chest... and he will not die!"
He smiled faintly, the firelight flickering on his semicircular glasses.
"After that it was a chase, and we found a bloody abyss."
Among them, about those strange skinless blood corpses, that kind of bones covered with flesh and blood, caused a fierce debate among the crowd.
Fudge and the others agreed that this was a crime against the dark wizard.
——Creating Infernal Corpse.
The professors believed that this was part of a black magic ritual, like a new type of black witchcraft combined with some ancient voodoo spells and other modern spells, and the weird magic plant Rafflesia was its manifestation.
Once they had calmed down, Harry went on to tell how they got stuck there, how he fought the basilisk with the sword, and then it was McGuffin who rescued him in a school buggy.
Everyone looked at McGuffin.
"I don't know what's going on? Ms. Gray suggested that I make a contract with the World Tree, which can greatly enhance my sense of magic, and then make me learn the magic I have seen before..."
"In order to escape the monster that Les Finley transformed, I waved my wand in confusion, thinking of a way to leave that place...then the Thestral carriage came, although I never thought of it...it directly got me into the mouth of the basilisk!"
"Harry nearly stabbed me into a kebab with a sword."
McGuffin still had lingering fears when he remembered that scene, and said angrily.
Then they told how several people escaped separately.In the end, he and Harry accidentally returned to the secret room of the old classroom after circling around.
"After that, the monster transformed by Les Finley fought against Voldemort...Actually, because we were floating in the sky, we didn't actually see clearly what happened?"
"But Voldemort was beaten badly...very badly!"
McGuffin's words made Fudge Yuejia sure that this person was not Voldemort. ,
He breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a burst of relief all over his body, as if the heavy weight on his heart had been thrown away.
"In the end...they both died!" said McGuffin.
"perish together!?"
Fudge didn't want to believe that if there was really no one behind the scenes, how could he explain to the media and the wizards who were afraid of chaos.
"Yes, we all died together, and you all know the shock!" McGuffin said.
"I don't know what spell Voldemort cast, Les Finley's figure continued to expand...until it exploded."
"explode?"
"Yes, I saw it too. The explosion completely shattered Voldemort, or some dark wizard. Finally, thanks to Fox, we fell from the sky..."
Harry said quickly.
"It seems to be as we guessed, Fudge!... There was indeed an unprecedented big explosion that destroyed the supporting load of Hogwarts."
"So we have to give Hogwarts a complete overhaul..."
"Minerva, can you go and discuss with the wizards from the Ministry of Magic's overhaul department who came here today, whether we need to suspend the school for a while to conduct a major overhaul..." Dumbledore said thoughtfully to Professor McGonagall.
"Okay!" McGonagall said bluntly, and she set off and walked out.
"Suspension? My God! . . . the Ministry of Magic has had enough trouble!"
Fudge grumbled, but he didn't stop Dumbledore, because if Hogwarts did collapse unexpectedly, the situation would be worse for him.
Harry's face was swollen white, and his mouth was tightly set in horror.
He was a little suffocated, and even he felt that facing the basilisk would be better than the current situation. He really didn't want to face the Dursleys in advance.
"Okay, Connelly, stop complaining. Isn't everything settled? There won't be any giant strange trees anymore, and you can announce loudly to the reporters of the [Daily Prophet] that the mastermind behind this series of incidents has been killed." The Ministry of Magic official next to him persuaded Fudge.
"But there is no evidence for all this! The reporters won't believe it."
"Don't we still have a 'real murderer' who is both the victim and the cause of all this?"
Officials from the Ministry of Magic snapped their fingers.
"Let's see if this guy is really crazy, or is he just pretending to be crazy to get away with it?"
The Auror next to him immediately understood the meaning of the leader, and unlocked Lockhart's petrification spell.
"Uh drink!"
As soon as he was released, Lockhart shouted loudly, lowered his head towards Fudge, and vigorously pushed him, obviously resenting Fudge's order to petrify him just now.
No one expected this scene.
Fudge caught off guard,
"Ouch!"
——Being pushed by this stupid guy, I turned my back on my back and threw my feet up.
——It's really embarrassing.
(End of this chapter)
——I believe you big-headed ghost!
McGuffin immediately realized that everything this time was still under the control of the old bee.
