Chapter 242
“So, Sirius Black came to Hogsmeade to sneak into Hogwarts and kill Harry?”
Rosmerta’s voice broke the awkward atmosphere and woke Harry up from the shock.
“But this is not the worst.”
Alan Mitchell, who had been invisible, spoke.
“We now suspect that Sirius Black will contact some former Death Eaters.”
“Many of them are from pure-blood families. If he really contacts them…”
Alan’s words were not finished, but several people all frowned quietly.
These people knew that many people said that they were controlled by the Imperius Curse, but in fact most of them were excuses.
Compared with the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban, they were just not so… loyal.
If Sirius really contacted them, there might be one or two who still refused to give up Voldemort.
Once they took action, it would greatly increase the difficulty of the Ministry of Magic to capture Sirius.
“Alan is right. The professors at Hogwarts need to attend classes. Hogsmeade is too big. If we only rely on the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, we will not have enough manpower.” Fudge opened a bottle of red wine and poured himself a glass.
“So, I ask Mr. Grindelwald for help.”
“Compared to the Ministry of Magic, the sources of information of the Saints may be more extensive, and the search range will be larger.”
“This is what we should do as a member of the British magic world.” Long before Argus arrived, Fudge had already negotiated with Abernathy in advance.
What he said now was just for Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore did not say anything, but Rosmerta looked at Argus in confusion.
It seemed that she did not expect that he could actually make decisions for the Saints.
“Is there no measure to protect Harry Potter in Hogwarts Castle?”
“What if Sirius breaks into Hogwarts School?”
Rosmerta asked the doubts in many people’s hearts.
Dumbledore looked up at Argus: “Don’t worry about Harry’s safety.”
“Mr. Grindelwald will protect him.”
Amid the doubtful eyes of the crowd, Argus shrugged.
“It’s not the first time anyway.”
“I have been protecting Harry since he entered school.”
“But… he doesn’t seem to appreciate it.”
Others didn’t quite understand the meaning of Argus’s words, and only thought that Argus didn’t understand Harry and complained a little.
But Harry’s head seemed to be dropped with a heavy bomb.
Argus’s words kept echoing in his ears.
He has been protecting me… He has been protecting me!
Harry recalled that he was used by Quirrell in his first year, and recalled that he was attacked by the basilisk and Lockhart in the Chamber of Secrets in the last school year…
He also suspected that someone was protecting him in secret.
But this idea was quickly thrown out of his head.
The reason is simple, he didn’t find any traces, and the title of savior made him mistakenly believe that he was omnipotent!
It should be so!
But what Agus said today had a great impact on him.
He even didn’t know how to face Agus.
The other party had been trying his best to protect him, but he… what was he doing!
He kept recalling his experience with Agus in his mind, from the first time he met him to the grievance when Agus said he would protect him just now but he didn’t understand.
It seemed as if a knife was stirring in his heart.
In the whole room, only Dumbledore understood what Agus meant.
But he didn’t know that Harry was hiding here.
“I will focus on Harry’s safety.”
“That’s good. Harry’s growth from childhood to adulthood was planned by Principal Dumbledore. With the principal’s guarantee, I can relax.”
Agus’s seemingly ordinary words made Harry completely unable to control himself.
What did Agus mean just now?
What do you mean that I have been planned by Principal Dumbledore since I was a child?
Could it be that… everything about me is arranged by Principal Dumbledore?
Impossible! This is impossible!
How could Headmaster Dumbledore…
Everything Harry heard today was too unbelievable for him.
Dumbledore was the person he respected most after entering the wizarding world, and he was also his guiding light.
But now, Argus told him that even Dumbledore had concealed something from him, and secretly planned and controlled everything about him.
This made him completely unacceptable.
Harry’s mind was in a mess now, and he had no ability to think at all. He just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
Find a place to be quiet!
Others did not feel that there was any ambiguity in Argus’s words.
Rosmerta also felt that Argus was praising Dumbledore for his negligence..
Professor McGonagall comforted him softly: “Mr. Grindelwald, you have done a great job.”
“I think Mr. Potter’s misunderstanding is only temporary. One day in the future, when he knows your help, he will be grateful and understand you.”
Fudge also joined in the fun: “Professor McGonagall is right. There are always quarrels between friends!”
“Friends…”
Agus’s hesitant words, coupled with a wry smile, once again broke Harry’s defense.
Regret, regret!
He couldn’t help but shed tears in torture.
Especially when he thought of the help Agus gave him when he just entered the magic world, and then compared his attitude towards him.
He wanted to slap himself twice!
Dumbledore came to Agus and patted Agus’s shoulder with his big palm.
“Don’t worry, Harry is a good boy who knows how to love, but he is a little confused now.”
“When he can really see the future, he will understand your efforts, Argus.”
…
In the remaining time, Argus had a detailed discussion with Professor McGonagall and Allen on how to search for Sirius.
Even though Argus knew it was futile, he still pretended to be very attentive.
Fudge discussed the Dementors with Dumbledore and Rosmerta on the side.
The last attack of the Dementors on the Quidditch field. It was simply rubbing Dumbledore’s red line on the ground.
Not only did they hurt Harry, but they also attacked so many young wizards in Hogwarts!
How could Dumbledore, the headmaster, tolerate this!
But Fudge is no longer the puppet minister and soft persimmon at the beginning!
He is obviously much tougher when he speaks, and dares to refute Dumbledore’s words!
What a pity. Harry was in no mood to listen to what was said in the room.
His mind was in a mess, and he just wanted to find a place to be quiet.
After Agus and the others finished their discussion and opened the door, he rushed out impatiently.
