Chapter 325: The Plan

In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, there was a magical scene: Dumbledore was listening intently, leaning back in his chair, while two Muggle-born wizards spoke across from him.

Dumbledore was lost in thought after Hermione introduced the appeasement policies of Britain and France before World War II, and it took him several minutes to remember that there were still two students in the office.

Okay, I think you must be very tired after all this today? Go to bed now. After Dumbledore stood up, he sent the two to the stairs. At that time, Dumbledore could be seen back at the table and began to think seriously.

In a corridor without murals, Ryan took out the rag doll in the box. He originally planned to use this and this to get away with it, but he didn't expect Dumbledore to ignore the box at all.

He felt his hands sink as soon as he closed the box. It seemed that Rose Crystal had already placed a space beacon in the place where she slept, and the box came back as soon as it was empty.

Good night. After returning to the common room, Ryan handed the box to Hermione, waved goodbye to her, and returned to his dormitory. Today is really too busy, he originally planned to count the spoils. But as soon as he lay on the bed, the feeling of tiredness hit his face, and Ryan immediately changed his mind and decided to check when he was free. Anyway, those things won't run with long legs anymore, so it's better to get a good night's sleep now.

The next morning, after eating, Ryan managed to get rid of a large group of classmates who were very curious about what happened yesterday. Just as she was about to go to class with Hermione, she heard Professor McGonagall's voice behind her. Mr Liang, Miss Granger. Headmaster Dumbledore needs to interview you.

The two looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other's eyes. Afterwards, they followed Professor McGonagall to the principal's office. Professor McGonagall didn't say anything along the way, but from her tightly pursed lips and hurried footsteps, she could see that it was not a good thing to find two people.

Macaron. Professor McGonagall called out the password to the monster in front of the principal's room, and the monster jumped to the side to reveal the spiraling stairs inside.

Pushing open the door decorated with the Griffin knocker, you can see that in addition to Professor Dumbledore, there are also Professors Harry Potter and Snape in the headmaster's room. After hearing the sound of the door opening, all three people in the room looked towards the place where the door was opened. After seeing Ryan and the others, Snape resigned and left.

Thank you, Minerva. Headmaster Dumbledore nodded to Professor McGonagall and then looked at Ryan and Hermione; The results of your analysis last night unfortunately all came true. I asked Fudge out for a half-talk this morning alone. Hours, but he refused to admit that Voldemort was back. He also accused me of jumping to conclusions based on the words of a child. He believed that I was determined to create a panic and destroy him and the wizarding world for thirteen years of painstaking efforts. Everything created!

Why does he think that, sir? Harry asked in confusion.

Because he thinks I want to take power, Harry. Just because I suggest Voldemort is back, and I hope the Ministry of Magic can get the news to everyone in the public—

Ryan felt that Dumbledore's behavior was indeed like a power grab, because this matter belonged to the management of the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore is only the headmaster of Hogwarts, and no matter how famous he is, he should not interfere in the affairs of Fudge's Ministry of Magic.

But it can also be seen from this incident that Professor Dumbledore was more influenced by Grindelwald when he was young, and can completely ignore others for the greater interests in his mind.

However, compared with the impression that Dumbledore proposed a solution to Fudge after Voldemort returned in the original book and declared that he would part ways with Fudge after being rejected, Dumbledore is already moderate this time. I just invited Fudge to the office to talk about this matter, and after the matter collapsed, I just watched Fudge leave angrily and did nothing else.

—I'm going to tell everyone in public that Voldemort has returned,

What do you think? After summing up the conversation he had just had with Fudge, Dumbledore turned and asked about Ryan and them.

I think we're just students— It doesn't matter, we need every strength we need to face Voldemort, and you might have something to offer us from a Muggle perspective, Dumbledore comforted.

Then with all due respect, Professor. That will only make the situation worse. Ryan thought Dumbledore would be angry after saying this, after all, it was against Dumbledore's plan. As a result, Dumbledore did not get angry but looked at Ryan with interest.

Very well, tell me your reasons. Headmaster Dumbledore looked at Ryan with encouraging eyes.

On the one hand, as far as I know, Minister Fudge has been in that position for more than ten years. As the highest official of the Ministry of Magic, he naturally does not want anyone to point fingers at him, including you. On the other hand, the Ministry of Magic's support Most of them are pure-blood families, and these people are related to the mysterious man. In this case, they will also try their best to block the news of the mysterious man's return until the person decides to appear. So the principal, your plan will be used by them. To induce the disgust and disgust of you from the war-weary people who suffered heavy losses in the last war has no effect.

Indeed, if it's just Fudge's problem, it's okay. But the problem is that ordinary people in the wizarding world don't want to admit it from the bottom of their hearts, so they are more inclined to Fudge and they make up everything that is safe and sound. A lie. Hermione then added the story of how Churchill and de Gaulle were marginalized before World War II, alerting people to the approaching war. That's the nature of human beings. They don't want to hear bad news. Sometimes they're willing to accept better-sounding lies. Even if the lies are endless.

But, but the resurrection of that person is a huge disaster involving everyone. How could they choose to deceive themselves about this matter. Harry said in disbelief.

The Second World War was also a disaster for the people at the time, but they still chose to deceive themselves. I don't think there is any difference between wizards and Muggles at this point. The history of the Muggle world has told us everything. , you can read some books on that, Harry. Hermione said with a sigh.

Then what do you think is the best thing we should do now? Professor Dumbledore asked seriously.

In fact, when it comes to war, a great man in my compatriots said that it is very reasonable, that is to unite all forces that can be united, to make our friends more and less enemies. Ryan is also very replied solemnly.

Our core task in this case is to win over most of the neutral people. Because the backbone of the two sides will not change much. Ryan saw Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall nodded. .

As for how to win over neutral people, a specific plan can only be worked out after knowing the evidence in this kidnapping incident. Looking at the professors who looked at him expectantly, Ryan shrugged. Because I don't know how much evidence they have, I really can't make a plan for the next step.
