Chapter 753

The news of Solim's return to Hogwarts had already spread at breakfast, largely due to the Slytherins. For them, the only person in Hogwarts who needs to be kept an eye on is Solim.

Dumbledore was indeed highly respected and influential, but this was still too far for the students, and although Sylna was also a Selwyn, she was clearly different from her brother, Sylla never cared about the school affairs. But Solim is different, he is not a good person to get along with, the entire Slytherin can be counted on one hand to talk to him, and given what Solim has done in the past, anything related to him will involve the sensitive nerves of the Black Two.

In fact, regardless of whether the Slytherin people say it or not, the news of Solim's return will spread sooner or later, after all, he still has to take classes, although the current course can only be regarded as consolidating the knowledge he has learned.

Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts, and Solim had confirmed the news to Professor McGonagall after Transfiguration class. Despite his preparations, Solim couldn't help but speculate on Dumbledore's actions.

It can now be said that the whereabouts of most of the Horcruxes are known, except for the Golden Cup and Nagini. Since Dumbledore was going to use Riddle to put pressure on Voldemort, the Horcrux matter could actually be considered settled.

There are only two paths in front of Voldemort now: one is to absorb the remaining Horcruxes in his hands to ensure his soul strength, lest Riddle overtake him and cause himself to become a Horcrux, and the other is to let it go and eliminate all Dumbledore and Riddle before Riddle's soul strength completely surpasses him.

As things stand, Voldemort has not taken any action. Although the wizarding world is still chaotic and panicked, it doesn't seem to be much different from before. Of course, this may be his final preparations, ready to seize a surprise attack, and maybe everything will be settled.

There are only two explanations for Dumbledore's running outside: one is that he is not giving up and trying to find another Horcrux - this seems impossible at the moment, Voldemort already knows about Riddle, he can't still have a fluke mentality to put his Horcruxes outside, with Voldemort's character, he keeps the Horcruxes by his side is a sure thing.

Another explanation is that Dumbledore is liaising with the various forces against Voldemort in preparation for the final showdown.

Although he hadn't met Dumbledore yet, and things hadn't started to be discussed, Solim was overwhelmed by the thought of what his father had explained.

Dumbledore would have made certain conditions when it came to observing Riddle's absorption of Horcruxes, and before that, there was another question that could not be avoided - that is, whether Auger represented him personally or the Selwyn family.

If Ogle was representing the Selwyn family—Solim knew that his father could not represent the family, he could only represent himself. In fact, this lie is easy to see through, it is a matter of immortality, and Selwyn should have sent out a bunch of old men, not a middle-aged man. Then it would be futile to try to get away with it, and Dumbledore was no fool.

Solim understood that he could only tell the truth. However, the energy of a single member of the Selwyn family is obviously not comparable to that of the entire Selwyn family, and in the fight against Voldemort, Dumbledore will obviously need a more powerful Selwyn family, rather than a single family member.

Moreover, Solim had not forgotten that Riddle's previous attempt to contact the Selwyn family was a small calculation, and without Dumbledore's acquiescence, he would obviously not appear in front of Solim. In other words, Dumbledore actually wanted to get in touch with the Selwyns. But for various reasons, Solim did not inform the family about Riddle, but Ogle knew about it.

Seriously, Solim couldn't think of anything about his father that could impress Dumbledore. If the matter of soul fusion is widely publicized and wants to observe, the condition is to fight against Voldemort, Solim dares to guarantee that many powerful families will be willing to side with Dumbledore......

On the first day of class, Solim had been distracted, thinking about what might happen in his dealings with Dumbledore and how he would deal with it. Dumbledore will definitely ask everything clearly before making a decision, so Solim's wording is particularly important, although some things may not be hidden in front of Dumbledore, but how to know without trying.

For Solim's return, Harry and the others are actually quite happy. Harry, in particular, preferred that Solim would have come back sooner, and if Solim had helped, perhaps he wouldn't have had to waste the elixir when he faced Slughorn at that time.

When Harry and Hermione were invited, Solim politely declined. He knew what these people wanted to ask, whether it was what he had been doing after so many days, or what Harry had been having a nightmare recently and wanted to hear what he had to say...... In Solim's opinion, these were all things that could be postponed, and the first problem he had to solve now was how to get Dumbledore to agree to meet with his father.

————————————————————————————————

It was an absolute secret that Solim had been to the Elven Forest, at least for the people of Hogwarts, and only he knew about it—he had thought so until Professor Bablin kept him after the Magic Pattern class in the afternoon.

This is a very rare thing...... Or rather, something like no other.

Bussida, who teaches the magic pattern. Babling is a professor who never procrastinates, and at the same time never says anything that has nothing to do with the content of the lecture. She never left a single student behind after class – never.

But she left Solim behind today, and it wasn't just a few students who took the Demonic Pattern that surprised them - there were only nine students in Solim's grade who took the Demonic Pattern. Solim himself was stunned, and then he seemed to think of something, and waited honestly.

Some of the students at Hogwarts who come from good families know that the Hogwarts professor is said to have elven blood. But Solim knows more than they do, and it's not that Professor Bablin is "supposedly" of elven blood, but that she's an elf.

"I know you've been away for a while. Professor Babling waved his hand, and the classroom door was slammed shut.

"Can you tell me where you left school where you went?"

"Any questions?"

Solim had some guesses, but he wasn't going to leave it untouched.
