Chapter 140
The headmaster's office.
Dumbledore rubbed his brows tiredly.
This was not the first time Rita Skeeter had discredited him. Back then, she even wrote a book specifically to discredit herself.
But even so, it did not cause such serious consequences!
Hundreds of letters of condemnation and questioning, and many howlers!
He could not remember when he last received a howler.
It must have been at least seventy or eighty years...
"It seems that this matter can't be delayed any longer. If it continues to be delayed, once the Aurors are injured or killed, it will no longer be under control."
"But why did so many things happen during this period?"
Dumbledore closed his eyes and pondered, and faces flashed through his mind one after another.
"Is it you, Cornelius?"
"For the sake of power, you can't help it after all..."
...
Aggs didn't know that Fudge had accidentally taken the blame for him.
After a day of classes, he came to Snape's office resignedly.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a large basin of leeches wriggling inside!
His scalp suddenly felt numb!
"Dean, these are..."
"Oh, our Slytherin head also has things he doesn't understand." Snape said sarcastically.
"Well, I really don't understand these things, how about we change to something else, Dean?"
How could Aggs not know what these leeches are used for.
One of the ingredients of the shrinking potion, leech juice!
While squeezing the mucus on the leech's body, it can't be killed to prevent it from being contaminated by other liquids in its body!
It can be said to be the most disgusting and most labor-intensive material.
Unfortunately, his resistance was in vain. As soon as Argus finished speaking, he saw homework assignments on Snape's desk.
On the top one, his name was clearly written!
Snape's pen was suspended in the air, ready to give comments at any time.
"What did you just say, Mr. Grindelwald?"
"Nothing, Dean!" Argus smiled stiffly, picked up the dragon leather gloves on the table and started to deal with it.
Snape snorted coldly and drew a big O on Argus's homework with a feather pen.
"Do you think I will threaten you with homework?"
"Mr. Grindelwald?"
"Be careful, these leeches are not disposable!"
In the following time, Argus once again experienced Snape's venomous tongue.
It was obvious that the other party was just taking revenge!
Revenge for helping Lockhart and making him lose face in public!
But he was helpless!
He could only find ways to cheat Lockhart again to comfort his injured heart.
By the time all the leeches were processed, Argus was exhausted.
Snape threw the leech juice Argus processed aside without even looking at it.
"Mr. Grindelwald, your poor dean doesn't have as many gold galleons as you do."
"For dinner, it's better to go to the hall!"
Argus resisted the urge to curse, ate a few bites in the hall and returned to the dormitory.
He turned on the system and saw that he had saved a lot of achievement points, so he was ready to have a long-awaited lottery.
"System, I want to draw a lottery!"
Countless card packs that looked exactly the same hovered around Argus. He observed them carefully and found that there was really no clue from the appearance.
He randomly clicked on five card packs at hand.
Blue and white light flashed one after another!
In the last card pack, a faint green light burst out!
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Marking (Level 2), Evocation (Level 3), Scapin Revealing (Level 2), Patronus (Level 2)]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Imperius (Level 4)]
[Current remaining achievement points: 0]
[It is detected that the host has mastered some spells. Do you want to merge? ]
"Evocation!"
When Argus saw the spells he won in this lottery, he almost jumped out of bed.
Except for Marking, all of them are difficult spells that require a lot of time to practice!
There is no need to say much about the Patronus and Imperius.
The Scapin Revealing is a complex spell for distinguishing potions. In the original book, Professor Slughorn only told them in the sixth grade.
Even so, Hermione was the only one who understood it in the whole class!
Not to mention the Evocation!
It is a black magic that awakens the dead, and the awakened ones have another name.
Inferi!
In the past, Voldemort had manufactured a large number of Horcruxes to protect his own!
He adjusted his mindset and chose to integrate!
Countless magical knowledge was stuffed into his brain.
After a brief sting, his eyes regained clarity.
[Host has excellent talent, super magic level comprehension]
[Patronus Charm (Level 3), Imperius Charm (Level 5)]
"The third-level Patronus Charm should still not be able to summon a Patronus."
"The fifth-level Imperius Charm is quite useful!"
Aggs carefully thought about the next plan.
The agreement with Dumbledore required him to ensure that Harry's life would not be in danger within three years.
In these three years, the only things that Harry could be said to be in danger of life seemed to be the Dementors and the time he was taken away in the Triwizard Tournament.
As for this year's Basilisk, whether it would be Harry's turn to deal with it was still a matter of debate.
As for the Dementors, it was not possible to deal with them. A few saints who knew the Patronus Charm could be sent outside the school to follow them. I would keep an eye on the school and would not let him have the opportunity to commit suicide.
As for the Triwizard Tournament, we had to plan it carefully.
Voldemort will be resurrected on the day of the finals. Even without Harry, Argus does not intend to let him come back to life so easily.
At least leave a backup plan for him!
Lying on the bed, Argus simulated his plan over and over again in his mind.
But he could never find a perfect solution.
No matter how he designed it, there would always be some minor loopholes.
It may seem insignificant, but it may cause him to lose everything!
At this time, he saw the suitcase where he kept Voldemort's Horcruxes.
A bold idea came to his mind.
The person who knows Voldemort best is, of course, himself!
Perhaps, he can also use his diary!
Do it right away!
He opened the box, and any item in it that was put outside could cause an uproar.
Slytherin's locket, Nick Flamel's Philosopher's Stone, Ravenclaw's Diadem, and the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows.
And Tom Riddle's diary!
Several items were separated by magic to prevent them from coming into contact, in order to prevent any unexpected accidents.
He took out the diary he had regained last night and was about to ask questions.
Suddenly he thought of something and used the brain occlusion technique.
He glanced at the door.
"Ginny has written a lot of things in the diary. If I use my real name to communicate with Tom Riddle, it is likely to arouse his vigilance."
"I have to change my name..."
He thought about it and smiled.
"Using this name should be reasonable and will not arouse Tom Riddle's suspicion!"
Argus picked up the pen and wrote the first line in the diary.
"My name is Ron Weasley."
The ink marks disappeared on the white paper in the blink of an eye. As they approached, a line of dark fonts slowly emerged.
"Hello, Ron Weasley."
"My name is Tom Riddle."
