Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 988 Wrong judgment

  After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore hurried to Mrs. Figg's house to learn about the specific situation at that time.

  From Mrs. Figg's memory, Dumbledore saw a picture of two dementors attacking Harry and his cousin Dudley. While he was relieved, he couldn't help but start to worry.

   Could it be that the Ministry of Magic has gradually lost control of the dementors?

   This is not a good sign.

  Once the dementors fall to Voldemort's side, the prisoners of Azkaban will be released, and the entire wizarding world will be in chaos.

  However, Fudge is unwilling to face up to these problems.

   After chatting with Mrs. Figg for a while, and saying that she would make new arrangements for her safety, she asked Professor McGonagall to wait for the Order of the Phoenix member to replace her.

  Although doing so will bring some inconvenience to Mrs. Figg, it can protect the life of the other party while continuing to monitor Harry, lest Harry leave his uncle's house and do something irrational.

   It is now imperative to transfer Harry to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

  Dumbledore handed over this matter to Alastor. It is not suitable for him to contact Harry in person now, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Harry.

   He was well aware that there was a special connection between Harry and Voldemort.

   And this special connection is likely to come from Voldemort's Horcrux fragments.

   Although Dumbledore has no proof yet, he is well aware that the connection exists and has been strengthened by Voldemort's resurrection.

  Once Voldemort perceives the existence of this connection, he will enter Harry's mind, control and mislead Harry's thoughts.

  And the relationship between him and Harry will make Voldemort's desire stronger.

  Dumbledore knew very well that Voldemort wanted to deal with himself more than Harry.

   He believed that Voldemort would seize the opportunity, use Harry to spy on him, and even try to control Harry against himself.

  Dumbledore couldn't think of a better solution for the time being. The series of recent events made him exhausted.

  One cannot refuse to obey the old.

  Hope Severus could bring him some useful news.

   Judging from the incident in Spain, Voldemort should not have attacked Harry hastily and completely exposed himself to everyone's sight.

  Besides, if he didn't do this, the response speed there would definitely not be that fast, and Voldemort didn't have enough manpower.

  Assuming Voldemort didn't do it this time, then...

   "Harry's trial I'm afraid..."

  Dumbledore walked back and forth in the headmaster's office. Although he currently has the evidence of turning defeat into victory, the Ministry of Magic is unlikely to distort the facts, but if Fudge really wants to expel Harry, he will definitely use other conspiracy methods.

   "Politicians!"

  Dumbledore's eyes flashed a hint of disgust, of course he knew Fudge's plan.

   But, does that really work?

  Dumbledore still remembered Albert's prophecy that Fudge would be ousted before next summer.

  Although Dumbledore himself is not very willing to believe in the prophecy, given that Albert's many prophecies have come true, he is still willing to believe a little bit, what if they come true?

  At least, Dumbledore actually hoped that Fudge could step down and let Amelia Bones come to power to reverse the current situation.

  As long as the Ministry of Magic maintains a tough attitude towards Voldemort, the situation will improve greatly, and he doesn't have to put a lot of thought on these things.

   Is he wrong?

   Should agree to Mr. Anderson and push Amelia Burns to the position of Minister of Magic together.

   To be honest, Dumbledore really doesn't want to interfere in politics, especially these sensitive issues.

   At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the principal's office, and Professor McGonagall hurried into the principal's office.

   "Albus, are they really planning to expel Harry?" Professor McGonagall asked.

   "The situation is not as bad as you think." Dumbledore comforted. "We have found evidence to prove that Harry used the Patronus Charm purely for self-protection."

   "You know, I'm not talking about this..."

   "Ahem."

  Suddenly there was a slight coughing sound in the principal's office, and the two looked in the direction of the sound.

"Here is your news. My great-great-grandson asked me to tell you that the dementors who attacked Harry were most likely sent by the Ministry of Magic." Phineas told Dumbledore about Sirius and asked him to tell Content.

   "Ministry of Magic?" Professor McGonagall frowned and asked, "Does Sirius have any evidence?"

   "Don't ask me, because I don't know either. If you have any questions, I suggest you ask Sirius yourself. However, I suspect that guy doesn't know either." After Phineas finished speaking, he fell completely silent.

  Dumbledore vaguely guessed the reason why Sirius would say this.

   "Where's Snape? Is there any news from him?" Professor McGonagall remembered that they had an undercover agent.

   "Not yet, but I think it should be soon." Dumbledore is now waiting for news from Snape.

   There are actually only a few possibilities for this matter, and the biggest possibility is that Voldemort's people sent someone to attack Harry. The other was done by people from the Ministry of Magic.

   Apart from this, the other probabilities are not high.

   At this moment, a ball of light penetrated the window glass and directly broke into the principal's office.

  Snape's voice came from the light sphere:

   Not the Dark Lord, but it doesn't rule out others making claims.

  Professor McGonagall looked at the disappearing Patronus, and then at Dumbledore.

"What do you think?"

   "If Voldemort or one of his Death Eaters did it, I think Severus will investigate clearly." Dumbledore stared thoughtfully at the location where the Patronus disappeared.

   "What if not?" Professor McGonagall felt that this matter did not seem to kill Harry, but more like wanting Harry to be expelled.

  At least the Ministry of Magic gave her the feeling that Cornelius Fudge is now using whatever indecent means he can to hit Dumbledore.

  As for the speculation about Sirius, or this speculation is likely to come from Albert, otherwise Sirius will definitely get it to the Order of the Phoenix meeting instead of letting the portrait convey the message to Dumbledore in private.

  Professor McGonagall, who is not willing to believe in divination, has to admit Albert's attainments in divination. There are indications that Albert can indeed predict the future of the Tao to a large extent.

   "You suspect that Fudge did this?" Dumbledore turned to look at Professor McGonagall.

   "Yes, either Fudge, or the people around him." Professor McGonagall said bluntly.

   "Probably not. I talked to Fudge, and he didn't know about it. To be honest, Fudge is not a deep Occlumency master, and I don't think he can fool me."

   This is also where Dumbledore is confused.
