Wo Bu Geng Xin
Dumbledore was eventually taken away.
Of course, because of Dumbledore, Mr. Filch was quite honored to enjoy the special car treatment of the Ministry of Magic, and they were not even willing to use the easy and convenient transportation method of the Floo network.
The Floo network in the principal's office was not a decoration.
"For demonstration."
Luke said to Hermione beside him: "Obviously, Fudge wants to show his authority to others. And the best prop to show his authority is naturally the most powerful and authoritative person in everyone's impression. .”
Of course, what Luke didn't say was that Dumbledore was obviously willing to cooperate with Fudge's actions.If Fudge can start from this one thing and gradually transform into an assertive, capable, and confident Minister of Magic, then Dumbledore will also be very happy.At least in this way, in some matters, such as when facing the possible return of Voldemort, even if the two sides do not confront each other, they can still unite and fight against the enemy together.
Never hold each other back.
but……
"It would be nice if Fudge was really someone who could change like that."
Luke shook his head, only calm in his tone.
Of course he would not regret it. If the Minister of Magic was really appointed by Barty Crouch, then the resistance he would have to face would be terrifyingly strong.After all, there is a ready-made Minister of Magic as the leader. I am afraid that Lucius can only be closely united with Minister Crouch.
The current situation is simply fantastic.
Looking at the Thestral carriage gradually going away in the sky, and the students standing on the ground looking at the little black dot in the sky with worried eyes.Whether it was Harry, Ron, Neville, or even some Slytherin students, they all had worried expressions on their faces.
Once Dumbledore left, for some students, it really seemed that they had lost their backbone.
Of course, there are worries, but there are also joys.
When some students saw the principal leaving, it was as if the Chinese New Year was coming, and they were overjoyed.Of course, their surprise didn't last too long, when Professor McGonagall stood up and announced that he would temporarily serve as the principal and the other professors had no objections.Those students who were still inexplicably excited just now began to miss their kind-hearted Professor Dumbledore in an instant.
Luke looked at the crowd gathered in front of him, and at the scene in front of him that seemed to be unintentional, but in fact, he didn't know how many people were behind it, and how many people were planning, so he picked it up gently. eyebrow slightly.
Looking at Quirrell's face that still looks cowardly, but actually seems to have made some decision, the corner of his mouth evoked a happy arc, but it was fleeting.
"Let's go, something big is going to happen."
Under the puzzled eyes of Taylor and Hermione, Luke dropped the words and left directly.
……
New York, Ministry of Magic
"I didn't expect you to come to meet me, Lucius."
Dumbledore looked at the low-key but luxurious dress in front of him. His appearance was full of the mature charm of a middle-aged man, plus a little bit of nobility and mystery from his identity.It can only be said that if Lucius is willing to be an old hooligan, then it is difficult for young girls to resist such charm.
"Long time no see, Professor Dumbledore."
Lucius greeted the great white wizard with an enthusiasm that surprised even Dumbledore.It's as if Dumbledore didn't come to the Ministry of Magic for investigation under his urging, but came to the Ministry of Magic for inspection under his urging.
Looking at the hand he stretched out towards him, Dumbledore held it with a gentle expression, and then said with some regret: "I'm sorry, because of my negligence, Draco was injured in school. "
The smile on Lucius' face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "It's just a minor injury. After being treated by St. Mungo, Draco recovered very well. I just hope that his classmates can go to see him every day." To see him."
"Oh, that's really a pity, after all, students are not allowed to go out on non-holidays. After all, after something like this happened, I couldn't do nothing."
Dumbledore's face showed a timely expression of regret and apology.
The conversation between the two made the three people behind them feel something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Okay, professor, although you are here to assist in the investigation today, I actually don't mean to pursue it. If it wasn't for Narcissa who insisted that I tell Draco the truth, I wouldn't have to push this matter forward. After all, you It's also clear, who hasn't encountered a few people who made trouble for him from time to time in his student days!"
"But professor, I still have to say that competition among students is a good thing, but isn't it a bit too much for faculty members to attack students?"
When he said this, Lucius looked at Filch behind Dumbledore with cold eyes.That look made Filch feel an inexplicable chill.
He wanted to say something, but Lucius quickly averted his gaze, as if unwilling to linger too much on this guy.
It seems that if you look at this person more than once, you will pollute your eyes.
Such blatant contempt made Filch, who was already in a panic, even more frightened.
He opened his mouth to explain to Lucius.But as soon as he opened his mouth, the skinny young man beside him pressed his wand against his throat.
"Seal the throat and lock the tongue."
He looked at Filch who was speechless, and said with a sneer, "Sometimes it's when you're talking. Don't worry yet."
Filch looked terrified, and he looked at Dumbledore for help.
Dumbledore sighed softly, and then said to Lucius: "Lucius, I would like to use my reputation to guarantee that this matter was definitely not done by Filch..."
Lucius smiled, but said nothing.Then he said directly: "Let's go, everyone, let's go where we should go, and don't interfere with the normal work of the staff here."
So the members of the Ministry of Magic, who came here to have fun, laughed and prepared to leave one after another.
And Lucius and Dumbledore were busy greeting those people.Some people only greet Lucius, such as the patriarch of the Goyle family, and some people only greet Dumbledore, such as Arthur Weiss.Of course, more people greeted both of them at the same time.
For small employees, they are all big bosses.Not bad.
Filch was quickly led into a small room, one of the Ministry's interrogation rooms.It is said that very few people can walk out of this humble small room without saying anything.
Of course, it may not be possible to come out after saying it.
"It's all about that era. Now they are naturally much more standardized."
Lucius explained to Dumbledore, and then led him into a spacious living room.
The two sat down, and Lucius served Dumbledore a cup of black tea.
"It's good for digestion, Professor." Lucius said, "You should pay attention to your body."
"You are right, after all, I am indeed old enough." Dumbledore took a sip of tea calmly.
Lucius watched Dumbledore's reaction.The two of them just sat like this in this living room, just looking at each other like this.Their positions were not on the same page, and Dumbledore never trusted Lucius.Lucius was a loyal Death Eater more than ten years ago, but after Voldemort fell, he paid a heavy enough price to cleanse himself.
However, even so, after a few years of precipitation, the Malfoy family has still become one of the most influential families in the aristocratic circle.Lucius has no loyalty to anyone.But whether it is the Ministry of Magic or Voldemort, he will always be thought of in times of need.In addition to being rich, his own ability is naturally also an important factor.
"I think it's best Mr. Filch did it."
After being silent for a long time, Lucius looked into Dumbledore's eyes, and then said with a cold face: "All I need is a truth that can calm my wife's anger. If you really plan to cover up , someone would be willing to involve the whole of Hogwarts."
Dumbledore seemed to have fallen silent.He will not know.This matter itself is a very good opportunity for Fudge to intervene in Hogwarts affairs, of course, the premise is... the support of enough school directors.
How many school directors will there be?Lucius alone can control at least half of the votes of the school directors.And the other half... is naturally in Dumbledore's own hands.
However, there is another vote, or even many votes, that will follow this vote.
"If Luke Gunter chooses to support the Ministry of Magic now, then Professor, you will be extremely passive in an instant."
Lucius murmured softly in Dumbledore's ear: "Let me be honest, Luke Gaunt, you have been with him for so long, do you really think you understand this student?"
"Normal Gunters are mentally ill. Abnormal Gunters are more unpredictable than mental illness."
Lucius said seriously: "We haven't seen a member of the Gunter family like the legendary Gunter for several generations. Unfortunately, now, there is a high probability that there is one. How many people around me will Choose to leave me while he speaks?"
"Your position has changed again, Lucius. Constant change is the only constant in you."
Dumbledore chatted about an irrelevant topic in this incident.
"So you called me out this time just to let an old man deal with an 11-year-old student with you?"
Dumbledore was not annoyed or angry, he just spoke with some doubts.I don't understand why Lucius would do this to this extent.
"I have no intention of dealing with Luke Gunter. On the contrary, if he really needs anything, I'm afraid I need to support him with all my strength."
Lucius sneered, then looked at Dumbledore and said, "The professor should have heard that Draco gathered a large number of forces in the school to spread a different idea."
"Luke is behind this incident, and most of the professors know this in their hearts."
Dumbledore nodded.
"But we outside the world don't know."
Lucius said with a gloomy face.
Dumbledore frowned: "Nobles, don't you know about this?"
"They think this matter is led by Draco. At least some of the 28 families, and some smaller nobles think so."
"Luke Gunter has hidden himself. And he's pulled a lot of people up to cover him."
……
"Will Dumbledore be embarrassed by the Ministry of Magic?"
Harry's brow was furrowed, and his face was also sad when he sat in his seat.Ron beside him had the same expression on his face, looking so sad.
"Maybe we shouldn't worry too much. After all, the Ministry of Magic can't do anything to Dumbledore. He is the most powerful white wizard and the headmaster of Hogwarts!"
Ron muttered softly.Fortunately, today's class was Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class. With Neville by their side, they didn't worry about whether they would pass the test today.So they have a lot of time to be sad and sad.
"That's right! That's Dumbledore, who can make things difficult for him!"
Harry told himself the same.But judging from the expressions of these two people, they didn't have much confidence in what they said.
That's the Ministry of Magic!The ruling body of the entire British wizarding world!
Harry couldn't help but feel the darkness of politics that he had heard from Uncle Vernon in the house on Privet Drive.Muggle governments always seem to have a way of turning an innocent into a guilty person.Uncle Vernon once said that those who know how to do this kind of thing are as easy as eating and drinking.
Of course, if Dudley hadn't threatened to send him to prison with such words later, maybe he wouldn't have remembered so clearly.
Such long and short sighs lasted until the end of this class.
In the process of leaving the greenhouse, Hermione looked at the two people in front of her with a look of disgust. They were worried about the country and the people here, as if their sighs could save Dumbledore from the Ministry of Magic.
They also thought of various unrealistic ideas, such as using Mr. Wesley's relationship to enter the Ministry of Magic, and then directly rescue Dumbledore after finding out where Dumbledore is.If you meet someone who wants to make things difficult for them, just ask Harry to report his name.
Luke can make many people respect him by relying on his noble status, so there is no reason why Harry, the savior, can't do it!
And not long after they walked out of the greenhouse, it was like a divine will in the dark.
They saw a sneaky figure.
Quirrell, he's walking down that corridor.
Harry and Ron exchanged glances.
"We should tell Luke."
"But it might be too late, I believe Luke can find us!"
So the two nodded and followed Quirrell's footsteps.
Of course, because of Dumbledore, Mr. Filch was quite honored to enjoy the special car treatment of the Ministry of Magic, and they were not even willing to use the easy and convenient transportation method of the Floo network.
