Hermione pinched Hagrid's special rock pie, grinding down a piece with her front teeth and biting it slowly. She thinks rock biscuits are definitely a good tool for grinding teeth, but it’s a pity that she doesn’t have a pet yet, and she doesn’t have the habit of grinding teeth herself.

There are not many animals that like to grind their teeth.

"Sister Teal, Voldemort...well, he is very powerful, right?" When Hermione asked this question, Hagrid couldn't help holding his breath. He still didn't have the courage to directly pronounce Voldemort's name.

But he has improved now. A few years ago, he was even afraid of Voldemort just thinking about it - who would have thought? When he was in school, he actually thought he had a good relationship with Voldemort, and they would call each other by their Christian names when they met.

"It is undeniable that he is very powerful." This is an indisputable fact, otherwise the British wizarding world would not have been shrouded in the shadow of Voldemort for so long, "but he is not so powerful that he is invincible."

Till thanked Hagrid for the cup of hot tea he brought to him. His tea-making skills are much better than his cooking skills: "Everyone has weaknesses. The only difference is whether this weakness is known to others."

"Tier is a person without weaknesses in my heart." Hagrid shrank his hands and leaned forward to fiddle with the sticks in the fire. The weather in April was already considered mild, and if they didn't stir a few times in the fire, the flames would heat them all up.

"Well." Tier seemed to be suffering from the tea, but there was a smile in his tone, "It seems that I have to cover my weaknesses more tightly, but I can't let you be disappointed in me."

Hagrid and the three children laughed. They thought Till's statement was interesting, but they didn't know that Till was telling the truth.

How could she have no weaknesses? All the people she cares about are weaknesses, but the existence of this weakness drives her to continue to become stronger and have the strength to protect all the people she cares about.

Her strength and weakness are symbiotic.

At dinner time, Till took his three children back to the castle for dinner. The last group of students who came back from Hogsmeade Village arrived belatedly. When they met Till outside the restaurant, they all greeted her warmly.

All the enthusiasm slowly subsided when Snape walked over with a dark face.

"Professor Snape, why do you always scare the students?" Teal pushed Hermione's shoulder, and the three little guys hurriedly ran into the restaurant, but looked back worriedly, as if they were worried and expressionless. Snape would bully Teal.

As everyone knows, Snape's expression had already softened subconsciously when Teal looked at him, but he had a heavy worry in his heart, so he looked particularly fierce.

The students all went into the dining hall. Till was not in a hurry to eat and grabbed his sleeve to care about him: "What happened?"

"The time for many Slytherin students to take leave has passed, but they have not returned to school yet." Snape closed his eyes, "I suspect that Voldemort gave orders to their families."

Snape's tone was actually very positive. Apart from Voldemort's behind-the-scenes instructions, how could those students from pure-blood families delay their return to school in large numbers for no reason.

They were supposed to come back after the Easter holidays, and there were not even many students who went home during the Easter holidays in previous years!

Teal sighed. When Ron talked about it today, she sensed something was wrong. Now that Snape, as the headmaster of Slytherin, was worried about it, there must be something wrong behind it.

Voldemort and Tyr's ideas coincided in some places.

Till had used children from pure-blood families as leverage. Voldemort also knew the weaknesses of pure-blood families and was even more ruthless than Till. He had given orders directly.

She would not foolishly think that those children who took leave to go home were simply resting at home. I'm afraid Voldemort has taken control of them.

"We have to do something." Teal knew that Snape felt uncomfortable. As the dean, he naturally cared about the Slytherin children, but they couldn't act easily.

They had no idea what Voldemort was thinking and what the situation of those children was now.

But they were not the only ones worried about this matter. After dinner, Professor Dumbledore called them and Professor McGonagall, and the four of them discussed this matter.

"My suggestion is to put pressure on the Ministry of Magic." Professor Dumbledore already had his thoughts in mind as soon as he opened his mouth.

Professor McGonagall showed obvious disapproval: "Pressure is useless. The Ministry of Magic has been put under pressure a lot over the years, but what they are best at is running in circles. And can the Ministry of Magic ask Voldemort to release people?"

I'm afraid that Voldemort is extremely angry and is more likely to take action directly.

Professor Dumbledore smiled: "We don't need a response from the Ministry of Magic, as long as the outside world knows about it."

"Albus, the wizards don't know about Voldemort's resurrection yet!" Professor McGonagall frowned, "Are you planning to expose this matter?"

"Dumbledore's intention..." Snape said solemnly, "is to put pressure on Voldemort."

Professor Dumbledore nodded and agreed with Snape's statement: "Yes, Voldemort will not harm those children, but if you want to get the children safely out of his control, you must rely on the public opinion of wizards."

"After his resurrection, he became even crazier, but also deeper and unfathomable."

Till has been silent, but her thoughts have not rested, and her brain is running wildly.

She understood what Professor Dumbledore meant. Putting pressure on the Ministry of Magic was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

First, the British wizarding world has been silent for more than ten years. Since Voldemort lost power more than ten years ago, many people have believed that Voldemort has been completely defeated. This is because many people are mindlessly touting Harry and putting him It can be seen that the status of the "savior" is getting higher and higher.

After Professor Dumbledore's mentality changed, he was no longer obsessed with building Harry's reputation, so he didn't need everyone's pursuit of Harry, he only needed the public's awakening.

Secondly, Voldemort should also have some scruples. He would not harm the children of servants in his eyes, because he needs the loyalty of his servants. Appropriate pressure will inevitably make the arrogant Voldemort angry, but when he is angry, Voldemort has to give up because he cannot lose the loyalty of his servants - who knows whether public opinion will sway those Death Eaters if it develops to a certain extent. What about loyalty?

As long as Voldemort didn't completely lose his mind, he would know what was best for him.

Thirdly, of course, it is to cause trouble for the Ministry of Magic. Since Fudge took office, not only non-pure-blood families such as the Emery family of former Minister Nobutushige have been alienated by Fudge, but Hogwarts has also lost its closeness to the Ministry of Magic. Fudge is especially close to pure-blood families and has no respect for Professor Dumbledore. The principal was a little dissatisfied.

Professor Dumbledore stopped talking to the Ministry of Magic. He didn't have much life left and was too lazy to maintain the semblance of peace with the Ministry of Magic.

He didn't need the honors promised by the Ministry of Magic.

The fermentation of public opinion is very simple. It only requires Teal to send a message to several newspapers and magazines, and they will take action immediately. However, to put pressure on the Ministry of Magic, Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, needs to come forward.
