As a house elf, Rooney obviously did not dare to accept the apology from a young wizard. He quickly bent down and bowed, waving his hands repeatedly with a trembling look on his face.
Harry had already been with Dobby several times and knew the elf's habits, so he no longer insisted.
"Please pour us some cups of tea, Rooney." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Rooney nodded immediately: "No problem, Mr. Principal!"
He moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye he reappeared in the office carrying a large silver platter.On the silver tray were exquisite teapots and cups, as well as several refreshments.
Fudge took the tea cup from Dumbledore absentmindedly, his eyes a little nervous.His purpose was obviously not to drink tea, and he showed no interest in the refreshments on the plate.
He took a sip of tea, put the cup on the table, and said, "Albus..."
Seeing his eyes on Harry and Glenn, Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.
"I don't want to hide this matter from these two children." He tasted the tea and added a sugar cube to the cup. "In fact, it was not me who defeated the monster in the secret room, but Ge. Lun."
With a tap of slender fingers, the silver teaspoon in the cup automatically rotates and stirs.
"Okay, if you insist." Fudge sighed and said, "As you said before, this raid did yield some results. Our people found the imprisoned Narcissa Malfoy in Malfoy Manor. , and encountered a huge viper twelve feet long.”
"Oh?" Dumbledore looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "Are there any casualties among the Aurors?"
"No." Fudge shook his head and said, "There was no resistance in the manor. Someone apparated away with the snake."
Glenn subconsciously observed Dumbledore's expression and noticed the flash of regret on his face.
Although everything went smoothly, Voldemort still escaped first.
"Tuk Tuk~"
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Dumbledore waved gently, and the oak door opened automatically.
The first person to enter the door was the Auror of the Ministry of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt.This was the first time Glenn met him, and he couldn't help but cast a curious look at him.
He is a muscular black man who has obviously undergone special physical training. He does not even look like a wizard. Instead, he is somewhat similar to the movie star Dwayne Johnson who was born in wrestling.
Behind him was Lucius Malfoy. He looked obviously much more haggard than before the holiday. His blond hair, which was always meticulously taken care of, was hanging messily, and the snake-headed cane that he always kept with him was missing.
Delis, who had followed him through the door, was pointing his wand at him.
Although Deluxe is considered strong, he is obviously much weaker than Kingsley.It's funny to say that this guy is also one of the outstanding graduates of Hogwarts. All his grades are excellent. However, he appeared four times in the original book and never won once. He was even beaten by Neville. Grandma was beaten directly until she was hospitalized, and she was a professional at giving away people's lives.
In the character attribute interface, Kingsley and Delix are both [Purple Elites], but there is a big gap in actual combat power. If Delix is a goalkeeper at this level, then Kingsley has probably touched We have reached the threshold of [Silver Epic].
If introduced in a fantasy way, it should be called [Half-Step Silver Epic].
"Good afternoon, Minister, and Mr. Dumbledore," Kingsley said.
Dumbledore nodded slightly, his expression almost unchanged, and Kingsley did the same, not even looking at Dumbledore.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kingsley." Fudge said, "Tell me more about what you discovered in Malfoy Manor."
Kingsley nodded and said: "Led by Mrs. Bones and Mr. Scrimgeour, we conducted a surprise inspection of Malfoy Manor and found some dark magic potions and items, which have been brought back to the ministry for inspection. "
He thought for a while and continued.
"In addition, in the guest room of the manor, we found traces of other people living there. Those items and potions were also found in that room, as well as a twelve-foot-long venomous viper. But it was very Unfortunately, the man and the snake just disapparated and escaped just as we rushed in."
"Didn't you see that person's face clearly?" Dumbledore asked.
Kingsley glanced at Fudge and said, "I didn't see clearly, but I seemed to see that person holding a baby."
"Look, Albus." Fudge spread his hands and said, "As I told you before, the mastermind of this matter is just an ordinary dark wizard, not what you think."
"Things are not as simple as you think." Dumbledore frowned slightly.
"You are a little too suspicious." Fudge laughed twice and said calmly, "I even have a little suspicion that you are actually Mad-Eye in disguise."
Dumbledore sighed lightly and said: "I have to repeat my speculation again, Connery, that person..."
"Needless to say, Albus, this is impossible." Fudge interrupted, "We all know that with the character of the mysterious man, it is impossible to escape so simply."
"I think you misunderstood me, Cornelius." Dumbledore shook his head. "I mean, that weird baby."
"Baby, Albus! That's just a baby! You don't think that the mysterious person would choose a baby's body, do you?" Fudge said loudly, "If you ask me, you really think about my suggestion, peace and Stability is really important to the Ministry of Magic."
"I'm sorry, Cornelius." Dumbledore shook his head solemnly, "I will not make that kind of guarantee to the public. If peace and stability are built on lies, it will be meaningless."
"Alright alright..."
Fudge paced back and forth, showing a bit of impatience. He seemed not to have expected that Dumbledore would be so stubborn, and he couldn't help but regret letting the Aurors come here to report on their work.
"Well, Albus, there is still a lot of work waiting for me in the ministry, as well as the interrogation of Malfoy, so I will go back first." He said, "Delix, Kingsley, let's go."
"Minister," Lucius Malfoy interrupted, "I have a few words to say to Dumbledore alone...and these two children."
Fudge frowned and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Okay. But if you want to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, I advise you to give up this idea."
"Of course." Malfoy nodded.
Fudge glanced at Dumbledore again, turned and left.
"I'm going back to the ministry first. You two will guard the door. Take him back as soon as he comes out."
Harry had already been with Dobby several times and knew the elf's habits, so he no longer insisted.
"Please pour us some cups of tea, Rooney." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Rooney nodded immediately: "No problem, Mr. Principal!"
