"Do you want to know the truth about Officer Merlin's suicide?" When Dumbledore was intercepted by Sun Zhu, he was about to go to St. Mungo's to give supplementary lessons to the students who were "attacked" by the basilisk. Chipachi looked like he was running over in a hurry without even eating dinner, which still stopped him in his tracks.
Sun Zhuzhi, who finally caught the principal, nodded. In fact, she had come to see him a few days ago, but unfortunately she came to nothing.
Although she could vaguely guess the reason, she still wanted to be sure.
Cedric, who was behind him, asked: "Officer Merlin, who is it?"
Dumbledore looked very happy: "Were you dragged here by her again in a daze?"
Cedric was a little embarrassed: "I really don't know much, but as long as I don't know nothing, it's okay."
"The principal is crooked." Sun Zhu understood his purpose and explained to Cedric: "Officer Merlin had trained Senior Sister Tonks before, and he even went to Sirius's house to look for me. Just last summer .”
"Does his matter have anything to do with you?"
"You have to ask the principal about this." Sun Zhu spread his hands, "Last year we met some Malfoy bodyguards in Hogsmeade who wanted to harm us. That time I felt that Malfoy knew some things about me too clearly. I went back and thought about it for a long time, and I felt that this Officer Merlin was the most suspicious, and as soon as I heard about him recently, I felt..."
"He was a Death Eater, and now that he was discovered, did he commit suicide out of fear of crime?"
Sun Zhu nodded lightly: "Even if I have suspicions about this kind of thing, I can't really do anything about it. So after thinking about it, only the principal may know the situation."
Dumbledore looked at her with a smile: "Who told you this?"
"Sirius asked Newt to tell me, but he also heard from Senior Tonks."
Dumbledore waved to Fawkes who was not far away: "It seems that I have to give Sirius more instructions."
"Ahem, I'm not here to sue him. Please stop changing the subject." Sun Zhu felt that the principal was going to trouble Sirius. She had some sympathy, but not much, "Why can't you tell me about this? ?”
"It may be complicated when Aurors are involved." Cedric guessed. "If there are really traitorous Death Eaters among the Aurors, it would be really bad."
You know, many people were tricked to death by traitors, which was much more unjust than the casualties caused by directly facing Death Eaters.
"It's not complicated actually." Dumbledore shook his head, "Zhu, at the auction that day, did you go to Inspector Shacklebolt and borrow the Book of Companions?"
Sun Zhu was stunned and nodded: "Yes, but I returned it after a few minutes."
She had a cordial and friendly conversation with Lucius that day and promised to give him a gift.
She was still a little unsure when she asked Senior Sister Tonks to borrow the "Book of Companions" they had photographed from Kingsley Shacklebolt on her behalf.After all that money had been spent, there was no reason for them to lend such an important thing to a fourth grader.But unexpectedly, just by saying something, something worth more than 1 gold galleons came into her hands.
She turned around and took it to Lucius, telling him that if he had any doubts, he could use this Flamel treasure to test the loyalty of his subordinates and partners.
This was the "gift" she promised him, although she originally planned to tell him that one of his followers had rebelled.The Malfoy family's business was large, complex and somewhat shady, but Lucius's trusted follower had switched to another pure-blood wizard who was engaged in underground industry - which would probably bankrupt him.The reason why the man rebelled was because Lucius had been restrained in doing things recently, which delayed the follower from taking more dirty money.All this information was told to her by Tongzi, who had been paying attention to the situation of the Malfoy family. She had planned to sell the favor in order to prevent her current powerful "helper" from really collapsing.
But she still decided to borrow the Book of Companions - she would be really sad if there was no authentic copy at the auction.
However, Lucius didn't appreciate it at all. He didn't trust him and thought it was a trap. Originally, Sun Zhu didn't tell him directly because he was afraid that he would feel that he was alienating him.Unfortunately, no matter what method was used, the suspicious Slytherin was very defensive.
However, it seems that there is really nothing worthy of his trust.
So Sun Zhu felt extremely regretful, and just reminded him to pay attention to the abnormalities in the people around him, and returned the book to the Aurors.
She didn't even use it.
But now, she somewhat understood what Dumbledore meant: "You are saying that the Book of Companions detected Merlin's infidelity and revealed his true face, so he was ashamed - or feared to commit suicide."
Dumbledore shook his head: "That book is not that powerful. It cannot identify people with evil intentions. Otherwise, we would not expose its existence."
Sun Zhu felt a little hurt. The world of adult wizards was really full of deception.
"Because it was actually invented by Mr. Flamel hundreds of years ago as a toy for his children. Maybe it was really so magical at first, but now the magic attached to it has gradually disappeared with the passage of time." Seeing her disillusioned expression, Dumbledore said frankly: "But it can still exert its own value. For example, someone with a guilty conscience will steal it and then be discovered by the trace magic attached to it."
This is how Officer Merlin got caught. Should he be called unlucky or stupid?
"Then, apart from him, are there any other traitors found?"
"Child, believe me, you don't need to worry too much about this matter." Dumbledore was unwilling to say anything more, "I heard Newt said that he had gained something from studying that painting? "
"Yes, I actually don't understand why you gave the painting to me." Sun Zhu glanced at Cedric who was feeding Fox hazelnuts, "What can I do with it?"
"This painting was actually the most valuable thing at the auction that day. If I asked Newt to accept it, he wouldn't be willing. But if I give it to you and ask him to study it, he will happily accept it. .”
Cedric couldn't help but turn his eyes to the kind-faced principal, but he always felt that what he saw was a hundred-year-old fox.
Oh, no, it's really rude to think of the principal like this.
He immediately looked away, only to see that the same sigh was clearly written in Sun Zhu's eyes.
Sun Zhuzhi, who finally caught the principal, nodded. In fact, she had come to see him a few days ago, but unfortunately she came to nothing.
