Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

"Albus, what do you want to tell me?"

In the principal's room, Fudge gracefully took a sip of lemon tea to ease his mood, and asked softly.

A moment ago, I wanted to sue Dumbledore for keeping dangerous creatures in captivity on campus, but as long as I heard his flat voice and saw the half-moon-shaped eyes, I couldn't help but feel faint.

Back then, he also generally told himself that he could take the position of Minister of Magic.

"Fudge, I can lift you to that position, and of course I have the ability to pull you down from it." Dumbledore straight to the point, said without hesitation.

Fudge's body shook, and his face suddenly changed.He had considered this before, but Dumbledore's opening this mouth was almost equivalent to tearing his face.

"But with our relationship, I naturally wouldn't do this, right?" Dumbledore looked at the sky outside the window, wondering what he was thinking. "I asked Hagrid to put the three-headed dog here. It's guarding the Philosopher's Stone."

Fudge smiled bitterly, almost forgetting the relationship between the unfathomable old wizard in front of him and the legendary master alchemist Nick Flamel.Now that Dumbledore has obtained the Sorcerer's Stone, he will live in his shadow for the rest of his life.

No, when you return to the Ministry of Magic, you must continue to follow up on the progress of controlling Dumbledore's resources. You must not allow such a thing to happen.

Fudge despised his own cowardice several times in his heart, and then asked softly with an elegant demeanor: "Why do you want to guard the Philosopher's Stone? Wouldn't it be safer to put it in Gringotts?"

Dumbledore looked at him coldly, and it took a long time before he said mockingly: "Did you forget the last Gringotts theft?"

He slowly lifted up his half-moon-shaped transparent glasses, his silver eyes flashed brightly, and said in a deep voice: "My friend Nicole Flamel told me that someone is thinking about the Philosopher's Stone again. It was taken back to Hogwarts on July 31st, and it turned out that the man really wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to restore power, and it was stolen from Gringotts the next day."

Fudge was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Which person?"

"As you think."

Forgijo stood up from his chair and screamed: "Impossible, that person died 11 years ago, you are lying to me."

Dumbledore didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

The expression on Fudge's face changed more than ten times in an instant, and he regained his composure after a while.He sat down again, stared at Dumbledore and said in a low voice, "Eleven years ago, you didn't take action against that person yourself. What do you want to do this time? What is your purpose?"

"This is not something you should care about, Fudge." Dumbledore said indifferently, "If that person really regains his power and appears in the wizarding world, your ministerial career will come to an end. Right?"

Fudge suddenly lost all his strength, slumped on the bench, thinking quietly.

......

While Brian waited in boredom, Fudge finally left the principal's office with an ugly expression on his face. Before leaving, he heard him whispering to Umbridge to forget everything that happened on the fourth floor of Hogwarts, and absolutely not to reveal anything to the outside world. information.

It seems that Old Deng has already taken care of this mess, so Brian naturally doesn't have to go to Dumbledore to add trouble to him as he asked yesterday.When he was about to leave with the crowd, he heard Professor McGonagall's serious words behind him.

"Although this is not all your fault, Gryffindor will deduct 50 points because of you, and you must take it as a warning. And I need to remind you that the suspended Defense Against the Dark Arts class will resume this afternoon. Open, Snape will be your substitute teacher for the rest of the semester, I hope you will not be late."

You can imagine Professor McGonagall's serious and angry face without looking back. They quickly responded with an apology and assurance and left quickly.

When they came to the auditorium, everyone finally got rid of the oppressive atmosphere. Ron exhaled and said, "That's Fudge, the Minister of Magic? It's incredible that he came in person."

Hermione said faintly: "When I saw the word on the first floor, I was so frightened that I almost jumped out of my wits."

"Let's stop talking about this, shall we?" Harry said with a sigh, "Why don't we think about how to deal with Snape's class this afternoon."

"My God, I forgot about this." Ron wailed, "He has been tormenting me in Potions class for more than half a semester, and now he is tormenting me in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, or you still do it kill me."

Brian didn't join in the chatting of the few people, and the expression on his face unconsciously became serious, looking very solemn, and then a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Because from the time they entered the castle to the eighth floor, all professors and all students should be present in class.

If any student skipped class and wrote those bloody words on the wall on the first floor, then Dumbledore would be able to find this person afterward if he found the correct list of the professors. It was absolutely impossible for Voldemort to make such a low-level mistake.

There were only three exceptions, Mr. Filch, the dormitory administrator, Mrs. Pomfrey, the school nurse, and their acquaintance, the keykeeper: Rubeus Hagrid.

In the bathroom on the second floor, several people saw Voldemort escape from Hogwarts with their own eyes. He couldn't possibly be possessing anyone on campus.Among those people, Filch lives in Hogwarts, and Madam Pomfrey only leaves school during holidays.Only Hagrid, who was often in and out of school to help Dumbledore with errands.

Maybe there is another one, Malfoy who was brought back home by Lucius and has been haunted recently.But in fact, Malfoy is not very suspicious. First of all, he is accompanied by old Malfoy when he goes back and forth.

Lucius can be said to be the biggest boy in the wizarding world. Without absolute interests, it is impossible for him to help Voldemort. After all, the current old Voldemort has not recovered his strength, and neither have the group of Death Eaters in Azkaban. Come out, without these powers Lucius wouldn't have turned against the entire wizarding world to help him.

Thinking that Hagrid, who had been together for a month in a row, was very likely to be Voldemort's container man, Brian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his right eyelid twitched slightly when he looked up, and his fingers trembled unconsciously.

From this point of view, there is only one question.

Why did Voldemort not do anything to him and Harry this month? Was there any concern?

"Great Dragon Slayer Knight, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Harry, you are my idol, long live the dragon knight."

Two laughs interrupted Brian's thinking. George and Fred came to Harry and bowed ninety degrees, shouting at him in an extremely exaggerated gesture.
