Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 315
The new semester at Hogwarts has begun, but the atmosphere on campus is rather weird.

The students always gather together in groups of three or four, discussing something in a low voice.

And once the professors approached, they scattered like birds.

"It was a discussion about that, and they kept their mouths shut about that."

In Professor McGonagall's office, Lupine continued with a sigh, "The students don't seem to trust us. The Wizards, the Falconer, and the Candlebearer played a decisive role in this."

"You mean they all joined these three organizations?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.

"A small number of those who did not join also showed signs of being isolated."

Lupine twisted his body uncomfortably. This detail was noticed by Professor McGonagall, but she was not surprised.

She knew Lupine's identity as a werewolf.

This status made Lupine somewhat withdrawn from an early age, so he was understandably uneasy when it came to these isolated children.

"Maybe I should talk to Harry, he's always..."

Before Professor McGonagall finished speaking, Lupine interrupted, "I don't think this is appropriate."

"Why?" McGonagall asked.

"If he says it, he will be isolated. If he doesn't say it, it will make things more complicated, so It's better not to look for him."

Lupine's eyes were calm, but in the depth of this calm, there was not obvious but enough real concern.

Professor McGonagall knew his relationship with Harry's father, so after thinking about it, he gave up his proposal.

"Okay then, I'll take a trip to Hogsmeade Village sometime. I think the parents of those students will always give us an answer." Professor McGonagall rubbed his temples and said.

In the past few days, she has been under a lot of pressure.

The first is the busy work brought about by the start of school, and the second is the fruitlessness of the investigation.

Finally, it is the frequent interaction between the two media.

Ordinarily, [The Daily Prophet] is a newspaper, and [The Quibbler] is a magazine.

The two are not right in terms of content or the time of publication of journals.

But for this matter, [The Quibbler] issued a short-term newspaper.

In addition to the inherent anecdotes of the wizarding world, it is more about exposing the scandal of the "Daily Prophet".

With this face, it looks as if it is no longer at ease as a magazine, but is preparing to attack the newspaper industry and launch a charge against the leader of the newspaper industry [Daily Prophet].

Wizards love it, since it adds a lot of gossip to their lives.

But Mag didn't think so, and her intuition told her that the matter was more likely to be manipulated.

Even, without any evidence, she had already convicted that person.

"He's changed, Dumbledore." McGonagall said excitedly in the principal's office, "Remember his consortium? He's using Muggle methods, I'm sure he's doing it."

Muggle means.

If these words hadn't come from Mag, Dumbledore would have laughed out loud.

As one of the most powerful wizards in the world, even though Dumbledore was not pure-blooded, he didn't feel that Muggles had any means.

"Then find that method, Mag, you know that you can do better than me in this." Dumbledore said to Mag.

"Your mother is also a Muggle, maybe you can also think about it, I have no clue at the moment, and the school is already busy enough..."

Complaining stopped suddenly, because McGonagall found that Dumbledore's face was sad.

She suddenly sounded that Dumbledore's mother seemed to have died when his sister's magic was out of control.

"Oh, sorry, Dumbledore, I recently..."

"It's okay, Meg, I know you didn't mean it."

Dumbledore looked at McGonagall while waving his wand, pulling the silver thread out of his temple and pouring it into the Pensieve.

"We are all under a lot of pressure, Mag, I know how difficult it is, but I really can't spare the time."

He pointed at his white beard, and Mag discovered that the other party's beard was partially knotted due to neglect.

Dumbledore pointed to the desktop again, and McGonagall noticed that there were a lot of photos and introductions on it.

The most obvious photo belongs to the Riddle Foundation building.

McGonagall immediately understood that the headmaster had begun to study that person in depth.

Even his research direction has extended to the Muggle world.

"Did you find anything?" McGonagall asked.

"Yes, I have identified a place."

When Dumbledore said this, he glanced to the lower left corner, and McGonagall noticed that there were several photos related to Wu's Orphanage.

"There is also a direction in another place, but the Muggle world is too big, McGonagall, and I don't have many clues..."

When the words stopped, Dumbledore frowned.

He flicked his wand painfully, drawing more memories from his mind into the Pensieve.

"Live a long time may not be a good thing, Mag, the memory is about to burst my brain, it may not want me to live longer."

Another not so funny joke, but this time McGonagall chose to force a smile in response.

"Do as you want, McGonagall, I can only leave this matter to you." Dumbledore said.

McGonagall nodded and said no more about Dumbledore's request to join.

"I understand your relationship with your father, McGonagall, that will give you a better understanding of the Muggle world, so I trust you."

Dumbledore pulled out another strand of silver, and finally leaned back in his chair contentedly, "Also, Lupine is a smart boy, you can trust him."

"Yes, principal, I trust him, but he is too sensitive." Mag said dissatisfied.

She did see the ability in Lupine, but Lupine's cold personality made it hard for her to accept it.

Although Mag is a sane monster, she acts decisively and has enough enthusiasm.

And these two characteristics are completely invisible in Lupine, so their communication is not pleasant.

"Hermione, McGonagall, maybe you can try to consult her."

Dumbledore did not solve the idea that the two could not work together, on the contrary, he proposed another direction.

Yes, this is Dumbledore's way of thinking, and it is a combination of vision and wisdom.

He saw the root cause of the incompatibility between the two, and decisively gave up the idea of ​​reconciling the two, and simply found another partner for Mag.

"Hermione?" McGonagall tried hard to stay rational, but she still couldn't help being surprised, "Are you sure she wasn't bought by that person?"

Since the middle of last semester, McGonagall has deliberately alienated Hermione.

Because she found that Hermione's thoughts were dangerous, and she couldn't change them.

She had discussed it with Dumbledore, but it had clearly not been a pleasant exchange.

"I'm sure she is a reliable child, McGonagall, but her reliability is not based on relationships, but on positions."

Dumbledore began to pull out memories from his head again, while thinking about how to persuade McGonagall.

He knows that this is not an easy job.
