Everyone returned to their rooms, and Glenn gently closed the door to the drawing room, leaving Harry and Dumbledore alone.
"Have you... seen Patricia?"
Morgana asked softly as she turned to go upstairs.
Glenn recalled it carefully, and it seemed that the woman was not seen in the battle process or among the people who were finally arrested.
"I didn't see it, she probably didn't appear there." He shook his head and said.
Morgana's expression was slightly complicated, as if even she didn't know whether she wanted to hear news about Patricia again.
She didn't ask any more questions and returned to the room silently.
Dumbledore chatted with Harry until late at night. Before leaving, he asked Glenn to accompany him to meet someone the next day.
I don't know if it was because of Dumbledore's rare tough attitude this time, but the Ministry of Magic acted very quickly. The latest news was published in the Daily Prophet early the next morning.
"Early this morning, the Ministry of Magic held an emergency press conference. Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge officially announced that the man who must not even be named is back."
"... Rufus Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, revealed to reporters that a few hours ago, a large number of Death Eaters, including You-Know-Who himself, broke into the Ministry of Magic... ..”
"...At present, Albus Dumbledore has not commented on this. ...It is reported that in the process of preventing You-Know-Who and his followers from breaking into the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore Lido, Glenn Ollivander, and "The Boy Who Lived" - Harry Potter made outstanding contributions..."
In the free time in the afternoon, everyone gathered around the dining table to drink tea and chat. Mrs. Weasley waved her wand, the foam in the sink flickered, and the brushes automatically cleaned the pots and pans as if dancing.
It can be seen that she is in a good mood at this time, and her movements are as elegant and happy as the conductor of a symphony orchestra.
"Look at this, Harry, you're the Boy-Who-Lived again. Ron pointed at a sentence in the newspaper and handed it to Harry, "I remember last month, they were still saying that you were a mentally ill exhibitionist."
"The media has always been like this." Lupine said with a smile, "but it was a bit unexpected for them to reinstate Dumbledore to all his duties in the Wizengamot and the International Confederation of Wizards so quickly."
"According to Fudge's character, this is normal." Glenn put down the teacup. "If I guess correctly, he is probably counting on Dumbledore to help him keep his position as Minister of Magic."
"How is this possible?" Hermione said in surprise, "I mean, after he has done so many outrageous things to us and Hogwarts, how can he have the nerve to ask Dumbledore for help?"
"Based on what I know about Fudge, as long as he can keep his power, he will do it without hesitation." Mad-Eye said.
At this time, Charles knocked on the door and walked into the kitchen with a letter in his hand.
"Whose letter is it from?" Glenn asked.
"This is Minister Cornelius Fudge, Master." Charles handed him the letter. "Master has read it and asked Charles to deliver it to you."
Glenn couldn't help but roll his eyes, opened the letter, and glanced at it casually.
"Why did he write to you?" Ron asked confused.
"Do you even need to ask?" Tonks replied quickly, "You must be trying to get the support of the Ollivander family?"
"More or less." Glenn threw the letter aside casually, "He also mentioned that he helped me win the Order of Merlin."
Sirius sneered: "This guy has really worked hard to keep his position as minister. He just said publicly a few days ago that "Dumbledore is becoming more and more like an old fool spreading rumors." Now he is working hard again. It's ridiculous to come here to please you. "
Kingsley said in his usual deep voice: "The situation in the ministry is not optimistic now. I heard just before I came here that the minister's office received many impeachment letters with fierce words, asking him to take the blame and resign as soon as possible. It is said that that There are even his original confidants inside."
"That's right." Dedalo Dick nodded, "Scrimgeour also seems to be interested in the position of minister. Unfortunately, Lockhart's qualifications are still too junior. Otherwise, based on his performance in the past six months, he might also have Chance."
The big event came to an end for the time being, and everyone was in a good mood, chatting casually until Dumbledore arrived.
"Are you ready, Glenn? It's time for us to set off." He changed his clothes and looked good.
"You can leave at any time, Professor." Glenn stood up, "But shouldn't you tell me what to do first?"
Dumbledore did not show off as usual: "I went to visit an old colleague of mine. After our senior investigator left, Hogwarts needs a new professor. If I guess correctly, he should be very interested. Get to know you in advance."
"Umbridge is going to be kicked out?!" Harry was surprised and happy.
"I suggest you don't use this rude term." Dumbledore smiled and winked at him, "But you can't be wrong. The Ministry of Magic has canceled all inappropriate education orders during this period. , by the time you return to Hogwarts, you should no longer see Professor Umbridge."
"Awesome!" The trio cheered in unison.
Only Glenn knew that Umbridge's departure may not be good news for them, because the person who succeeded her as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was not the old colleague Dumbledore was going to meet now, but the Half-Blood Prince. Your Highness.
Having his most hated professor teach one of his favorite subjects might not be good news for Harry.
Without delaying for too long, Dumbledore quickly apparated with Harry to a small, not-so-prosperous village.
Of course, the so-called not prosperous is just compared to London. In fact, the degree of modernization here is still much higher than that of Hogsmeade.
"I think you should have heard of his name," Dumbledore said as he led Glenn through the central streets of the village and turned two intersections, "Horace Slughorn."
"Of course, no wonder you brought me here specially. It turns out you want to use me as bait!" Glenn nodded. As a time traveler, of course he had already guessed the target person of this trip, "To be honest, I actually think Harry is more suitable."
Dumbledore showed a familiar smile: "According to my understanding, Horace is a person who is very good at protecting himself. If you ask me, you are more attractive to him than Harry."
attraction...
Glenn shuddered involuntarily. Although this was just a metaphor, such an expression still inevitably made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Have you... seen Patricia?"
Morgana asked softly as she turned to go upstairs.
