Chapter 234: Not discovering is more terrifying

"Then I guess you should realize how stupid your actions are now?" Madam Pomfrey said seriously: "You are still young and there is still a lot of room for growth. Don't rush to defeat the adult wizard."

"Yes, I understand. I'm very sorry." Wade said.

His attitude was so good and so sincere that Madam Pomfrey couldn't even scold him. In the end, the school doctor just scolded him a few times and left in a hurry.

There are still a few little wizards in the ward who have not yet been discharged!

As the stairs automatically rotated down, Dumbledore in the office also visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Vader raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when he heard Dumbledore say: "Come in, Vader."

He walked in and saw that the principal's office was as mysterious as ever. There was a pensieve on the shelf next to it, with silver mist swirling in it.

On the wall, portraits of past principals were snoring gently. It was unclear whether they were really asleep or pretending to be asleep.

Vader has seen in the book that these principal portraits have a mysterious contract with the school. The magic of Hogwarts provides power for their existence. At the same time, no matter what kind of person they were in life, these portraits must serve as portraits for the current generation. The principal provides assistance.

Of course, unrecognized "headmasters" like Umbridge were not included in the contract.

At this time, Dumbledore was taking off his glasses and wiping them, and said tiredly:

"Poppy is one of the most helpless people I have. Luckily she likes you."

There was a soft whisper from the side, and Wade turned his head and saw Fox, whose feathers had completely turned golden red, flapping his wings on the shelf.

He hadn't seen the phoenix when he entered the door just now. He didn't know when it landed on the perching branch.

"Oh, yes." Dumbledore smiled: "Fawkes likes you very much too."

"You like the golem pet I made, right?" Wade complained, and then said: "Professor Dumbledore, I'm here to ask, how much do you know about Professor Abigail?"

"I guess you also want to talk about this." Dumbledore blinked: "I heard that you had a very warm welcome ceremony yesterday."

"Yes." Vader said, "My bones were almost broken. I have never encountered a wizard who is so good at fighting."

"Seriously, you surprised me too."

Dumbledore said, and with a wave of his wand, two boxes of pink ice cream appeared on the table.

"But while we chat, we can enjoy some delicious food."

Vader took one of the boxes and said, "Has she been trained in the Muggle army?"

In order to avoid being confused by Dumbledore, he asked directly.

"Yeah, not bad."

Dumbledore took a bite of the ice cream and squinted his eyes slightly due to the ice. After a moment, he said: "Professor Abigail has a rich and colorful life experience. She is also a rare wizard who knows Muggles very well - she Living in Muggle society for many years."

The principal looked at the students holding ice cream and listening to him carefully, smiled, and said, "But I can't reveal other people's privacy. If you want to know the details, let Professor Abigail tell you after you get familiar with them. ”

Vader opened the lid and took a spoonful. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Did you know that she might also be carrying a gun? A Muggle gun."

"I know, this is Professor Abigail's personal habit. Just like we always carry a magic wand, otherwise we can't feel at ease."

Dumbledore said: "I can assure you that Professor Abigail will not use this weapon on students, and unlike your first two professors, she is a reliable person."

--Really?

Vader looked at him suspiciously.

"And I don't think there's anything wrong with giving students an introduction to Muggle weapons."

Dumbledore continued: "Actually, Professor Abigail has applied to me and will show you the power of Muggle weapons in Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Do you agree?"

"certainly."

"But..." Vader was silent for a moment and said, "As far as I know, pistols are only the most insignificant type of Muggle weapons..."

"So Professor Abigail also got some special...well, surprises."

Dumbledore said casually: "You must not only learn to guard against harm from dark creatures, but also learn to guard against Muggles."

Wade was a little surprised.

In the original plot, Dumbledore never had such an idea. Everyone in that story had an invisible arrogance and contempt for Muggles, and the two worlds were almost isolated.

Was it Professor Abigail who made him feel the need?

Or should I say...

"Professor." Wade raised his head and asked, "Did you encounter anything during your previous investigation?"

Dumbledore looked at him, unable to see clearly what his expression was through his glasses.

After a while, he said, "We didn't find much, kid."

"Didn't...find it?" Wade's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Yeah...this is scarier than finding anything."

Dumbledore sighed: "We thought that if it couldn't be traced using magic, then there might be some clues among Muggles... but there was nothing."

"There are no witnesses, no rumors. We even asked a Muggle to check the thing called surveillance at the airport, but nothing was found."

"Our enemies... they have penetrated deeply into the Muggles, so they can erase all traces. In this regard, we are far behind."

Dumbledore's voice was filled with fatigue and worry that could not be hidden.

But then, seeing the young face of the boy in front of him, he immediately realized his laxity and hid all his emotions.

"This is unusual, you know... most wizards know nothing about Muggles, let alone their technological development."

Dumbledore continued in a calm tone: "We need to find a new direction for investigation, or wait for their next opportunity to act. As long as they do it, they will definitely leave traces. As long as it is not too long, we will definitely find something."

It has been more than a year since the Muggle couple realized the problem, so it is so difficult to find talents.

If Dumbledore has a way to track those subtle traces within a few days or even weeks.

Scamander is also a good hand in this regard.

Wade did not doubt this, but after walking out of the principal's office, he looked back at the gradually receding lights, and his heart was still filled with worries.
