Harry Potter: Man at Hogwarts but no wand

Minerva McGonagall often came to the principal's office when she was teaching at Hogwarts. Dumbledore was still the principal at that time. Now walking up the spiral staircase, the four of them have their own thoughts - Principal Sprout is sitting at the desk. In front of him, Snape leaned against the door and did not come in. McGonagall and Dumbledore sat aside. The atmosphere between them had never been so anxious.

Sprout looked obviously sad, her chubby arms were on the table, and her right hand was on her forehead: "The Ministry of Magic is still investigating all abnormalities in this competition, Professor Dumbledore. Apparently someone used your name to invite these schools. "

"Pomona, the Ministry of Magic cares about this, but actually I don't care." Dumbledore was extremely gentle, as if to comfort her: "What we really need to do is to investigate the dangers of the first game, in case- —”

"The second game." Professor McGonagall said seriously. She turned to look at Snape by the door. He stood in the shadows and said nothing: "Albus, I don't think Lawrence did it, let alone It can't be Miss Brown or Mr. Finlay." McGonagall spoke faster and faster, and all three of them could see that she was a little excited.

"Indeed, I testified for him." Dumbledore tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair: "But Igor Karkaroff didn't know what method he used to make Miss Brown relax, just like What I said on the road was self-defeating."

"It's really——Oh my god, I've long seen that something is wrong with him." Sprout's face turned red with anger, and even the gentlest witch was filled with indignation when she heard such things: "But, is there nothing we can do? Just look at him – he’s only 14 years old!”

"Ha, he's 14 years old. He can't do things that a 14-year-old can do." Snape slowly walked out of the shadows, his dark eyes making people unpredictable.

"Pomona, I'm afraid you don't understand what he did." Dumbledore sighed: "And I'm sorry, I can't lie that he is not the Death Eater who set fire to the Quidditch World Cup. This is enough for him to enter." Azkaban."

"Albus?!" Sprout looked at the old man in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"Nothing is more certain than him, Pomona." Professor McGonagall leaned back in her chair, as if she had lost all strength.

"I indulged him too much." Principal Sprout covered his face and said with some choking: "He will definitely not survive a week in there.

Snape glanced at Dumbledore. He wanted to tell Sprout that Andy would not die like this. He tried hard not to look at Dumbledore, who interrupted him with another sigh.

"He will suffer some, and fate is always unbearable." Dumbledore felt a little guilty: "Maybe you think I shouldn't take him to Hogwarts, but I have no choice, he is a Horcrux , Voldemort’s Horcrux.”

Snape was surprised by Dumbledore's showdown, while the two ladies were stunned and speechless.

"What...?" Principal Sprout felt his voice trembling.

"Albus - ah - you mean - he must, he must go?" Professor McGonagall was so excited that she was incoherent. She was breathing heavily, as if she was choked by the news.

Dumbledore nodded hard: "But not now, he won't die in Azkaban."

Mag looked at her long-time friend in disbelief, and Sprout had already stood up. They both understood what this meant.

"I want to bring him back, Dumbledore." Professor Sprout was so excited for the first time. Her eyes were wide open, and Snape's eyes turned red when he saw her: "Even if it is, even if it is, even if it is He must..."

The potion master lowered his head and stopped her. Dumbledore didn't speak. Sprout sobbed: "Oh, God Snape, I hope he is happy, he will die for the damn Voldemort." , can’t I make him happy?”

Although Snape didn't admit it, he wanted this bastard to come out more than anyone else. He couldn't stop these things from happening. As long as Andy stayed in Azkaban honestly, the villains who involved all the schools would definitely follow. He has nothing to do with it. Just as he told McGonagall, there are some evil consequences that Andy can only eat by himself - if he wants to clear his suspicions and not be targeted by all the Ministry of Magic.

Snape knew that if Voldemort knew that Andy wanted to involve all the schools to sabotage his plan, he would definitely pay a heavier price than going to Azkaban.

He couldn't figure out why Andy did this, but he felt that the child's sudden change was because he was hiding something from everyone.

"Lawrence is not a piece of meat, he is a child Dumbledore!" Professor McGonagall: "Snape, do you know something else?"

Snape's thoughts were interrupted by McGonagall. He turned around and shook his head. At this moment, everyone was walking on thin ice and cautiously.

Dumbledore is not simply for this reason.

Andy Potter, the half-brother of Harry the Savior, holds the key to the next era - and it's not that Voldemort will take over the world that worries Dumbledore.

But the next era must be an unknown turmoil.

Dumbledore was never afraid of the Dark Lord or wizard leader. What he was afraid of was that it would threaten the safety of all wizards. Now that Muggle technology is becoming increasingly advanced, the "International Federation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy" is like a barrier between two worlds. The thin layer of ice - if it breaks accidentally, the two worlds will be in raging war.

Muggles and wizards have not been peaceful and friendly groups since ancient times. After all, the majority of people with magic must not be compatriots - fear of uncontrollable forces will breed malice.

Just like the dark ages recorded in Muggle history and wizarding history - the witch-hunting movement.

Since the early 15th century, the persecution of witches by some organizations has been widespread throughout Europe. Countless witches and wizards have been imprisoned, hanged, and even burned alive for engaging in witchcraft activities.Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (Nearly Headless Nick) is a living case - his wand was taken away and he was imprisoned in a dungeon, so he could not use magic to escape his fate of execution.

Not to mention the children who often have magical riots, because children cannot control their own magic and often attract the attention of Muggles who are hunting wizards, and are unable to resist.

The wizards will not sit still and wait for death, but after all, there are only a few people with talents, and the huge population difference will inevitably lead to the failure of the resistance.

In the 17th century, the relationship between wizards and Muggles reached a freezing point. As Muggles increasingly persecuted wizard children, more and more Muggles forced wizards to use magic for them, and burned witches, including Muggles. It became increasingly common for melons to be mistaken for witches and burned.

For a time, the population of the wizarding world dwindled, and the wizarding society was panicked.It was not until the "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy" was formally established in 1692 and enforced by the magical governments of various countries that wizards were able to thrive.

But hatred will not disappear so easily. Dumbledore is not sure whether the exposure of wizards today will cause unimaginable disasters. No one can be sure. ——Will the wizards who were defeated by Muggles as early as the cold weapon era be driven to extinction by the technology of the 20th century?

Decades ago, he heard with his own ears the nursery rhymes about killing witches and the British Muggle children, and saw with his own eyes the unfortunately exposed wizards who were taken away by some Muggles.

Including his own family, he couldn't let children like Ariana be persecuted, let alone let the tragedy of his family happen to every wizarding family. He had to be responsible for the entire wizarding world, which was a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Severus doesn't know, Minerva, I hate this kind of behavior, but I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, war always requires sacrifices, we have no retreat, and no one will allow us to have a retreat. ." Dumbledore said softly.

He knows that when necessary, he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself, his lover, or even his only remaining brother.But he couldn't say it - he couldn't tell God what was really going on.

McGonagall sighed helplessly. She accepted this reality. She knew that if Andy did not die, Voldemort would always have a chance to come back. The last reign had brought endless pain to countless people. She wanted to live in freedom and sunshine. , even if they, as teachers, try their best to stop it, they can't stop people from being able to bear the urgency of darkness coming again - no one will stand on Andy's side.

The sky cleared up, and the mountains in the distance turned golden again by the sunlight, making the sky bright.She looked at her teacher and friend, but saw that his expression was equally painful. The bright light shone on him, on his silver eyebrows and beard, and on the deep wrinkles on his face.

He closed his eyes and buried his face in his long-fingered hands. He rarely showed this kind of exhaustion and sadness - no matter what it was, he would not be soft-hearted.

He can't be softhearted.
