Chapter 491

Looking at the place where Harry had disappeared, Solim and Dumbledore didn't move for a long time, no one spoke, no one moved—they had just seen the expression on Harry's face—a hideous, aggressive expression.

"Headmaster—" Solim licked his lips.

"Yes, I saw it too. "

It was the first time Solim had seen the "panicked" expression on Dumbledore's face.

"It seems that he has found out and realized that this connection between him and Harry is a two-way street. That was clearly his attempt. Solim looked at Dumbledore inquiringly, "What are you going to do?"

"Occlumency. Dumbledore rubbed his temples tiredly, "I'll let Severus teach him." "

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Solim grinned. But on second thought, it seems that Dumbledore really didn't have a good way, it wasn't that he couldn't teach Harry himself, but that would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. And in Hogwarts, apart from him, only Snape has a high level of Occlumency.

There are a lot of people in Hogwarts who know about Occlumency, at least the four Deans have mastered it a little bit, and it is no problem to teach Harry, but if you want to defend yourself against the prying eyes from Voldemort, you must have an Occlumencine master like Dumbledore or Snape to teach it.

Dumbledore closed his eyes and rubbed his brow tiredly, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he snapped open his eyes and looked at Solim.

"We'll act tonight. Dumbledore said, "I'll take some steps to deal with this incident first, and then we'll go to that cave and bring Regulus back." "

Solim raised his eyebrows awkwardly, "Going for the big night?"

"Early in the morning, to be exact. Dumbledore adjusted his mood and returned to his usual expression, "After sending Harry and the others to St. Mungo, we'll go." "

"With all due respect, Headmaster. Solim said, "I think you're taking a bit of a risk, Harry shouldn't have left Hogwarts at this time." Without the protection of Hogwarts, that person will be more likely to invade Harry's brain, you know, just here, under the layers of protection of Hogwarts, he has been able to do that, if he leaves the protection of Hogwarts, ......"

A sad look suddenly appeared on Dumbledore's face, and he sighed and said, "For Harry now, there is not much difference between inside and outside Hogwarts. "

Seeing that Solim was a little puzzled, Dumbledore sighed again.

"You know a lot, Solim. As I think you're aware, maintaining Hogwarts' defenses is a costly undertaking...... And this consumption requires a lot of money to support, and the board of directors that maintained Hogwarts' defenses in previous years has changed this year......"

It didn't take Dumbledore to finish speaking, Solim already understood. Maintenance of Alchemy Circle and Demon Pattern...... And so on a series of defensive measures are required materials, and materials are to be bought, or directly provided by the board of directors, and in today's situation, the materials that belong to the Death Eaters and Garon are directly cut off, and it can be said that there has been a huge hole in the defense system of Hogwarts, and now it is just an encouragement to support.

Solim wondered why Hogwarts' defenses were ...... when Voldemort was aggressively attacking Hogwarts, a thousand-year-old castle It was so rudimentary that most of the defenses had been suspended by that time.

Many of the members of the Hogwarts Board of Directors are related to the Death Eaters, and it is understandable that they can reduce Hogwarts' defenses in this way, neither to fight to the death, nor to fight wits and courage, but only to control the various materials that build and maintain the Hogwarts defense system, and to weaken Hogwarts defenses in this costless way, which is simply better for Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

"This ...... That's really bad news. Solim thought about it for a while, if he was Dumbledore, he would probably be cold now. Eating is provided by the Death Eaters, drinking is provided by the Death Eaters, and using is still provided by the Death Eaters, and people can jam your neck casually.

The most disturbing thing is that Dumbledore has to contend with these Hogwarts parents...... This kind of thing is really, Solim doesn't even know what to say. Now Hogwarts can be said to be leaking everywhere, and if there is not enough meat at Hogwarts that day, Solim will not find it strange.

Pure-bloods...... Solim closed his eyes and sighed inwardly, no wonder Dumbledore's relationship with most pure-blood families was not very good, such a thing must have happened before—or rather, it must have happened, and the last time Voldemort was wreaking havoc, he must have used the same means to weaken Hogwarts.

"yes, bad news. Dumbledore said with a smile, as if he was talking to Solim about the weather in the country, "But fortunately, my old bones are still a bit famous, and some families are willing to support the daily consumption of Hogwarts." "

"Okay......" Solim was speechless for a moment, although he came from an ancient and powerful family, he couldn't do anything like providing support to Hogwarts.

Dumbledore pulled out a small note, which floated from Dumbledore's palm to Solim's face, as if it had been blown by a breeze.

"This is the address of the old Black family's mansion, and I don't usually go there because of the existence of the Loyalty Charm there. I hope you can go there and wait for my news, and when I'm done taking care of something, I'll let you and Sirius know. "

Clutching the note in his hand, Solim's mood was a little complicated: "Is this really good, Headmaster? I'm not a member of the Order of the Phoenix." "

"Is there any real difference between you and a real Order of the Phoenix?" Dumbledore looked at Solim calmly, "You have done more than even me, the founder of the Order of the Phoenix. "

Solim didn't know if Dumbledore's last sentence was a compliment or a run on him.

"Shall I go now, then?" asked Solim tentatively.

"That couldn't be better. Dumbledore took Solim's words as a declarative sentence and didn't give Solim a chance to discuss.

"But I hope that Ms. Umbridge's affair is the last. The serious look on Dumbledore's face was particularly evident in the light of the flames that appeared from the ashes.

With a phoenix on his arm, Solim showed the note in his hand to Ash, and said to Dumbledore before leaving, "No, Headmaster, it's one last time." "

With a flash of fire, Solim disappeared into the headmaster's office.
