In the evening, in a remote grotto in the quiet Forbidden Forest, the moonlight shines through the gap above the head. Xiu Xiu is trembling and carrying the unconscious Nico on his back with a cloth strip. At this time, it is in extreme pain, and a voice keeps impacting in its mind. its consciousness.
"Become my slave!"
Xiu Xiu collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, but after a long period of training, he quickly struggled to get up and resisted Voldemort's soul with his will.
"squeak!"
Xiu Xiu screamed and shivered beside the cave, but feeling Nico's scent behind it, it tentatively approached a hidden underground passage in the cave.
With a stern look, it pushed the surrounding stones to place them at the entrance of the passage, then placed Nico behind the distant stones to hide, and jumped down.
At this time, Brie followed the flying doll to the grotto.
"what?"
Bri's robe was covered with scratches from branches and leaves, as well as many mud stains from early spring.
This Xiu Xiu can really run. It's impossible to tell where in the Forbidden Forest this is. It can only be determined that it is in a relatively central place.
In the silent night, Bree's wand flicked up and turned into a lamp, illuminating Bree.
Holding a lantern and walking to the underground passage, feeling the powerful intimidation coming from inside, Brie couldn't help but said in a daze: "This is the breath of a dragon."
Bree has found it on dead dragon eggs, but the dragon energy here is a bit stronger. It seems that there is a giant or ancient creature hiding.
Looking at the faintly glowing passage, Bri heard the squeaking sound of Xiu Xiu. He walked down with a slight hesitation, but he was always vigilant.
The stone walls of the passage were inlaid with crystals of various colors. The long light allowed Bri to see the surrounding scene clearly. However, as he went deeper, he only felt a gust of wind passing by, and saw the flow of sniffing hands on top of Bri's head. With blood dripping from his eyes, his little eyes flashing with hatred, he ran towards the back.
Before Bree had time to go out, she heard the sound of rolling rocks ahead.
That Xiu Xiu dug the passage!
"There are many obstacles!"
A series of magic barriers prevent the collapsed passage, but the stones here seem to have magic, constantly resisting the power from Bree.
By the time the sound stopped, Bree had retreated to the innermost part of the passage.
Looking at the buried passage, Bree took a deep breath with a headache.
"dragon?"
Brie turned around and stepped into a dark underground space. Huge white skeletons covered the ground. There were many stones above the head that emitted light, adding some brightness to the place. The gleaming bone light reflected on the bones. , but it is still difficult to see where on the ground to stay.
Looking from a distance among the bones, Buri could vaguely see a towering altar, supported by several dragon bones whose species it was difficult to distinguish from Buri.
"The dragon corpse here has lost consciousness."
From the necklace, Brie could only hear the word "return" repeated over and over again like a machine. This should be a ritual, and it was very ancient.
"hold head high!"
A high-pitched dragon roar resounded throughout the space, the bones trembled, and many collapsed and broke. The owner here discovered Bree!
Brie jumped up, and hit the spot where he was standing with a shadowless blade. He saw the roar of the wind, and a giant white bone dragon was cut in half by the split dark green light blade, and fell to the ground, sparking a wave of lightning. Soot.
As Brie used her magic power to ride on the wind, the bones on the ground gathered hard, and the dragon bones that were already sleeping kept making dragon roars, and an angry roar gathered in Brie's mind - kill!
Hundreds of giant white-bone dragons flew up, waving their huge bone wings, and rushed towards Buri with teeth and claws. Buri kept flying in the air, and the magic blades kept passing through. The fierce brilliance flew and exploded, and the space below was roaring. There was a rain of bones in the sound, and Cha Cha Cha fell to the ground.
The bones on the ground are still waking up and rushing towards Bree. Bree's behavior has completely angered the consciousness here.
Bree shot out of the sky, like a meteor falling, and rushed to the altar, because that consciousness was here.
Several huge bone dragons next to the altar immediately rose up, waving their huge dragon claws to grab Brie, intending to stop him.
"born!"
On the ground, among the white bones, green buds emerged one after another. In an instant, the green color spread across the entire space like a tide, and those white bones were covered with a thick layer.
Immediately afterwards, vines stretched out, flying one head into the sky, standing on the ground, and running towards the cloth, they were bundled into a ball, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not get rid of it.
"Bang bang bang!"
Giant dragons fell one after another in the sky, and those beside the altar were also entangled with vines and were frozen.
"We can't hold on for long, the consciousness here is awakening."
Brie jumped onto the altar, but unexpectedly looked at the floating creature in the center of the altar!
"Little Peeves?"
As if hearing Bree's voice, little Peeves' cute little face pouted, but it was wrapped in the power of the altar and could not move or wake up.
But soon, the surrounding hostility began to disappear, and the white-bone dragons fell into silence again. Except for the green vegetation covering their bodies, they were the same as before.
Bree carefully looked at the patterns on the altar. He had read the book. This is a kind of inheritance ceremony. It is a very long-standing tradition. It is the power left by powerful ancient magical creatures for future generations.
Around him, the dragon energy in the white bones was constantly being transported into Little Peeves' soul through the altar, making Little Peeves become more solid and full of pressure.
"How did you find this!"
Suddenly, a frightened and disbelieving voice appeared.
Peeves ran to the little Peeves and said sternly: "Get out of here quickly, this is not the place where the little wizard should be!"
When seeing the scene around him, Peeves panicked and exclaimed: "Oh, what did you do!"
A purple light flashed in Brie's eyes, and the world in his eyes changed. He saw that this space was filled with countless consciousnesses. These consciousnesses were attracted by the altar from the outside world. The keel on the ground seemed to be transformed. Like a tool, it turns those consciousnesses into traces of souls to nourish little Peeves, making Peeves more complete.
"Is this a soul?"
"Consciousness becomes the soul, and the entire space is like a closed dragon egg."
Bree had a flash of inspiration and discovered a way to create souls.
"Get out quickly, get out quickly!"
Peeves was furious at this time. Seeing the passage being destroyed, he immediately ordered the keel angrily and started digging. Only then did Bree discover that there were eight more passages like this, extending in different directions. Travel to various locations in the Forbidden Forest.
Obviously, the source of those consciousnesses came in through these passages. At this time, the Forbidden Forest was used to cultivate dragon eggs and nurture little Peeves.
Peeves did this?
He looked at Peeves inquiringly.
"I hope you don't do anything stupid."
Bree slowly left from one of the passages. He threw out the doll again. Since he could go out, it was more important to find Nico. As for what Peeves was doing, that was not what Bree wanted to worry about now. As a As a guy who has lived in Hogwarts for thousands of years, Bree thought it would never destroy Hogwarts.
"Legend has it that there is a dragon sleeping in Hogwarts. Maybe Peeves is part of it?"
"Then where is it?"
At this time, Xiu Xiu, who was struggling around the Forbidden Forest with Nico on his back, had a gloomy face, a ferocious snake face looming on its face, and a strong aura of black magic shrouded it.
Hagrid got up before dawn. He vaguely heard something. When he walked out of the hut, he happened to see the Niffler, who was possessed by Voldemort and both sides were fighting for dominance.
"Oh, this is Xiu Xiu, escaped from the Forbidden Forest?"
"Hey, this is Oude's son, the flower elf!"
"Oh my god, what day is this..."
Hagrid went up to check on the fainted flower elf and the struggling Sniff, but when he saw the black air on its face, he was immediately startled!
But soon, Hagrid froze with a dull expression on his face. He took out a diary from his arms. On the diary, a consciousness slowly appeared. He controlled Hagrid and grabbed it with his big hands. He sniffed and sniffed, no matter that the dark breath invaded his hands, he would not let go.
As for Nico on the side, Hagrid paused, put it on the bed in the room, and headed towards Hogwarts Castle with Sniff.
…
After leaving the Dragon Cave, the moon was setting and it was probably already midnight.
Bree continued to search with the doll, but when she came out through the giant trees in the Forbidden Forest, the cold mist blew by, and the red sun rising in the distance over Hogwarts made Bree suddenly startled.
Is Xiu Xiu running back to Hogwarts again?
"Woof woof woof!"
There was a barking sound in Hagrid's house. Because of the natural magic, Bree was able to understand what it was saying. It was asking for help and saying that there was an extra guy in the house.
Bree opened the door and saw a pug running over, which was Hagrid's.
Bree waved her hand, pushed it away, and stepped forward to see Nico lying on the bed.
He carefully picked up Nico while the doll urged Bree on, telling him that the Nifflers were heading to Hogwarts.
In Hogwarts, Tom was staying in the girls' bathroom on the second floor, waiting for Hagrid's arrival. Last time, he used Ginny to throw the diary with the name concealed to Hagrid, making the stupid guy believe it. He also controlled him, waiting for the opportunity to do things for himself.
"This is really an unexpected bonus."
It's still dark, and Bree didn't come home last night. Tom was very worried, and he didn't rest all night. He kept searching in Hogwarts, but found nothing. The professors temporarily blocked the news, and they didn't find it until early in the morning. Go and rest, I'm afraid I'll have to continue searching for Brie's whereabouts for a while.
But after discovering Nico, Tom breathed a sigh of relief, or Bree went to find Nico. As for why the Sniffer kidnapped Nico, this was not something that Tom needed to consider for the time being. He just wanted to see it quickly. Go to Voldemort and wait for Bree to come back.
Hagrid walked to the bathroom with stiff steps. Tom looked at Voldemort who was weakly fighting for his body with Sniff and snorted coldly.
"I never knew that my main soul could fail like this."
It's a pity that Voldemort, who is now locked in a struggle for consciousness, cannot hear Tom's words, otherwise he will definitely pounce on Tom and bite his flesh and blood.
Tom controlled Hagrid and took Sniff into the bathroom. After a hoarse hissing sound, the passage to the secret room opened immediately, and the sound of violent friction kept getting closer. Tom cast a binding spell on Sniff.
"Hiss, hiss..." Come out and kill this giant.
The basilisk's eyes suddenly opened in the darkness, and after Hagrid saw the basilisk's eyes, Tom removed his control and let him fall stiffly.
"what sound?"
Hermione had just returned to human form, and was about to take advantage of the lack of people in the morning to go to the bathroom with Ginny to look for the remaining ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion, because Ron and Harry's pleading was too noisy, and they wanted to try it. Try drinking Polyjuice Potion again to see if Hermione and Hermione will change back. Now neither of them wants to go out when there are no classes. They even said that Professor McGonagall considered the inconvenience and assigned the two of them to a separate dormitory. .
"Hermione, do we really want to go in?"
Ginny was trembling, she didn't know why she was very resistant to approaching this place.
"You're here, of course you have to go in and have a look. Maybe Myrtle inside is jumping on the toilet again."
In the bathroom, Tom looked at the trembling Myrtle with a sneer, waved his hand, and saw the basilisk's eyes looking directly at Myrtle, which happened to be seen by Hermione and Ginny who opened the door.
Ginny and Hermione also fell stiffly, their eyes full of disbelief.
Tom frowned, and Myrtle, Hermione and Ginny all saw him. Myrtle is a soul and cannot be killed by the eyes of the basilisk. Ginny and Hermione saw the eyes of the basilisk through the ghost. So it was just petrified.
"Sorry, girls."
Just as Tom was letting the basilisk devour these people, there was another noise outside. It was Lockhart.
"Oh, look, what's going on?"
And Professor McGonagall.
"Ginny, Hermione!"
The professors who got up early in the morning and continued to search for Bree's whereabouts had just gathered when they heard the sound on the second floor. When they came up, they saw Ginny and Hermione lying at the door of the bathroom.
Tom's expression changed, and he immediately controlled the basilisk and entered the secret room with it.
The secret room was quickly closed, and the professors also opened the bathroom door.
"Hagrid!"
"Is there a ghost here?"
More and more professors came here, and this time three people were petrified, plus a ghost!
Dumbledore passed the sight of many professors and came to Hermione and Ginny. He stroked their heads and sighed: "They are petrified. Let's take them to the campus hospital first."
When he touched Hagrid, Dumbledore's eyes widened.
"Quick, we need some mandrake now, ripe or not!"
Hagrid looked directly into the eyes of the basilisk. If it weren't for his giant bloodline, he would probably die immediately. And now his condition was also very bad. He could be killed by the power of the basilisk at any time, leaving his soul to sleep forever.
After hearing this, Professor Sprout said hurriedly: "Who can run faster? Mandrake is in Greenhouse No. 3!"
…
Harry and Ron, who had just heard that another person had been petrified, saw such a chaotic scene when they came over. Professor McGonagall was covering her face and crying, Professor Sprout was comforting her, and Professor Snape was livid. With a straight face, he told the little wizards not to come forward and join in the fun, and to stay in the hall quickly.
Dumbledore was holding a mandrake that had just been picked from the soil, covering its mouth, constantly squeezing its juice with magic, and dripping on Hagrid's body.
"Professor Lockhart, please remove Hagrid's clothes. I need to see his heart now."
"Oh, of course." Lockhart opened Hagrid's clothes, but a diary with a black cover fell out. The rose brooch Lockhart still wore on his chest was instantly stained with a layer of black. To the surprise of Dumbledore and him who were approaching.
Lockhart hurriedly picked up the diary, but looking at Dumbledore's eyes, he laughed.
"Oh, I'll take it first. I'll show it to you after you handle it. It looks like a dark magic item. How could it appear in Hogwarts?"
Dumbledore nodded with twinkling eyes. He had seen this diary before. It was a very familiar child's item. He didn't expect to see it here.
The doubts in his mind became clearer, which made him glance casually at the snake-shaped sink not far away. His lips moved slightly to say something, but when he saw Harry's arrival, he closed his mouth again. , began to seriously treat Hagrid.
Under the influence of the immature mandrake, the power of the basilisk was suppressed. Although Hagrid was still petrified, at least his life was no longer in danger. Now he only had to wait quietly for him to wake up. The giant His body can help him resist the power of petrification, and he may be able to regain consciousness quickly without the need for mandrake.
"Snape, let us in, Hermione is my friend, and Ginny!"
"That's my sister, let me in!"
Harry and Ron struggled in Snape's hands, trying to break into the bathroom area that was blocked by the professors, but their current efforts were in vain.
Snape looked at Harry who looked like a little girl complicatedly and said, "It's Professor Snape, Potter."
At this time, Professor McGonagall finally recovered. She and Professor Flitwick used the levitation technique to pick up Ginny and Hermione and took them to the school hospital, while Myrtle's soul was collected by Dumbledore. Entering a painting, Hagrid was levitating as he waved his wand.
Seeing that things had been temporarily arranged, Snape threw Ron out, then helped Harry up and asked him to stand up. He bent down to tidy up his messy wizard robes, but he quickly stopped and stood up. Straightening his back, he recalled the appearance of James Potter in front of Harry, who was already stunned. He immediately said in a disgusted and greasy tone: "Hogwarts is very dangerous now. Mr. Potter, you are still being raped." Suspicion is the murderer, so please be careful and don’t become the next person to be petrified just to prove your innocence.”
Snape snorted coldly and followed Dumbledore. He had to ask in detail how to handle this matter. Although none of them were Slytherin students this time, as a dean, he had the right Knowing what Dumbledore is planning, should we continue to allow such a dangerous character to stay in Hogwarts?
Looking at the group of professors leaving in a hurry, Harry and Ron wanted to rush forward, but Professor Sprout stopped them.
"Please trust the professors' arrangements, nothing will happen to them." Professor Sprout gently rubbed Harry and Ron's heads, making the two little guys' noses sore.
"I will take you to the campus hospital, but Madam Pomfrey can decide whether you can go in or not."
Sprout sighed secretly and led Harry and Ron towards the school hospital. In fact, she herself began to distrust Dumbledore. When school just started, Dumbledore seemed to be working hard to make a good plan for the little wizards. He seemed like a good principal, but as time passed, more and more people were petrified, and he became more and more eccentric.
It's like...indulging the murderer.
Oh, Professor Sprout was frightened by his own thoughts. That was Dumbledore. How could he let the little wizards fall into danger and ignore it? Is it really to cultivate the growth of the savior?
Sprout was stunned, looking at Harry who was nervous at the side, his brows furrowed even more.
"Brie?"
Downstairs, Cedric, who heard the news but was stopped by the prefects and could only stay in the hall, spotted Bree, who was dressed in tatters and walked in with Nico in his arms.
Bree looked at the panicked little wizards in the hall, all staring upstairs and noisily talking about petrification, Hermione, Ginny and other words. He silently put the shrinking doll in his pocket. .
"Cedric, what's going on here?"
Bree had an ominous premonition, and as Cedric told the story of Hermione, Ginny and others being petrified, Bree's heart sank, and she immediately thought of Voldemort's soul.
Yana also came over at this time. She looked at the wolf tooth necklace that Bree was wearing and asked worriedly: "I feel that you are in danger. Where were you last night? The professors have been looking for you all night. "
With that said, Yana glanced at Nico, who was still unconscious in Bree's arms.
Bree thought for a while and then said: "It was Sniff. It used the doll given to Nico for Christmas to find the location of the turret and kidnapped Nico."
"Sniff sniff!"
Cedric blushed and said guiltily, "Sorry, Bree, I didn't know Sniff would do this."
"No, that's not your problem."
Bree squinted her eyes. If he found the Niffler, he would castrate it, make him covet Nico, and cause trouble for Bree. Now Voldemort's soul doesn't even know where it is!
I am afraid that this petrification was caused by Voldemort, the descendant of Slytherin, the basilisk, who else could it be but him.
"I'm going to see Hermione and Dumbledore on the way."
Bree bypassed a group of young wizards and walked to the stairs. Some college prefects wanted to stop Bree, but when they saw Bree's slightly red eyes, they swallowed their saliva and immediately looked away, letting Bree pass. .
It was at this time that the Weslai twins also bypassed them and caught up with Bree.
"Our sister was petrified."
Weiss was very sad and listless. After saying this, she silently followed Bree to the school hospital.
Ron and Harry were outside the door, and the professors were also talking on the other side about how this matter should be handled. When they saw Bree, Professor Sprout and Professor McGonagall walked up first.
"Where have you been!"
Professor McGonagall stared at Bree seriously, full of worry. After seeing Nico in Bree's arms, she frowned and said, "What's wrong with it?"
Sprout took Nico from Bree's arms and carefully checked it with magic.
"I fainted. I'm afraid it will take a while to wake up."
Bree looked into the school hospital. Madam Pomfrey was walking around angrily, holding a heavy book and rummaging angrily for healing magic that could lift petrification.
It was obvious that she was on the verge of collapse.
"I went to the Forbidden Forest, and a Niffler kidnapped Nico."
"oh!"
Professor McGonagall glared angrily and patted her head. She shouldn't have let Bree end her confinement so early and now she ran into the Forbidden Forest.
Ignoring the Weiss twins who sneaked into the school hospital secretly, Professor McGonagall grabbed Bree's shoulders and sighed: "I always thought you were the most obedient child."
Professor Sprout on the side gave Bree a helpless look. She grabbed Professor McGonagall's hand and asked her to let go of Bree.
"McGonagall, the child is fine."
Sprout rubbed Bree's head and said angrily: "You are not willing to lie and deceive us even if you do something wrong."
Although the tone was reproachful, it was full of friendly exclamations. After hearing this, Professor McGonagall's expression softened a little.
She tapped Brie's eyebrows with her finger and said angrily: "Naughty guy, how come you were assigned to Slytherin? You are obviously no less naughty than Weiss."
Speaking of Weiss, Professor McGonagall frowned again. Four guys suffered at the same time today!
"Where's Headmaster Dumbledore? What did he say?"
"Hermione and I have known each other on the way from Hogwarts. She is my friend and I think I have the right to help her."
After hearing Bree's words, the two professors looked at each other and didn't know what to say, because Dumbledore still didn't face the matter seriously, and even said that his current attitude was to wait for the mandrake to mature and not to seriously track down the murderer. idea.
"We will explain this matter to Dumbledore in detail, and Dumbledore will definitely find a way to solve it."
Even Mag herself didn't believe what she said, and she fell silent again.
"Maybe we can solve it ourselves. I mean let the professors protect you."
Just as he was talking, a group of guys from the Ministry of Magic walked in followed by a short, fat man with an imposing manner and a smile. He was wearing leather shoes, looked stocky and very friendly.
They went straight to Dumbledore's position, and as they arrived, all the professors stopped talking and stared at them.
"That's Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic."
Professor McGonagall stared at Fudge uneasily. Ever since he became the Minister of Magic, this guy has become more and more confusing. Before, it was clear that he was dominated by Dumbledore, and he would ask Dumbledore's opinion on some matters. But now, since he began to accept people from pure-blood families into some core positions in the Ministry of Magic a few years ago, things have changed.
"Oh, Albus?"
Fudge walked up to Dumbledore with a smile, and his tone was gentle but unkind.
"I've heard about what's going on here, but I think you can solve it...but..."
Fudge smiled deeper, but soon pretended to be sad and anxious and said: "I forgot that you are already a centenarian and are beyond your capabilities. I think you are no longer qualified for the position of principal."
Fudge came menacingly and quickly revealed his purpose. He counted it carefully.
"Look, there are a few people here, oh, five, as well as a dead ghost and two cats."
Fudge's eyes were sharp and he was chattering incessantly to enhance his morale. He really hoped to bring down Dumbledore, but he had never been able to find a chance, and this time, he must not give up.
Dumbledore, who had been silent for a long time, took a breath and then said: "Cornelly, you seem to have forgotten that you have no right to make decisions about Hogwarts. This is a school and I am the principal."
Dumbledore's blue eyes looked sharply at Fudge, making Fudge tremble.
Fudge coughed to hide his panic. Only then did he remember that Dumbledore was a strong man, not just an old man.
"Of course, of course..." Fudge's face turned pale. He arrived in such a hurry that he was not prepared, such as bringing a few helpful guys from his ministry. But now that the arrow was on the line, he had to let Dumbledore The profit is too much.
"I mean Hagrid, yes, Hagrid, you know, he has a criminal record, that was decades ago. During this time, the attacks on Hogwarts started, and I suspected him. "
"That spider, you remember, this guy just likes to raise some weird things, and he even said he killed them..."
"enough!"
Dumbledore stopped Fudge from continuing. He said, "I trust Hagrid. He would never have done it, and he was also injured."
"Oh, who knows?" Fudge exaggerated: "It's not like there are no examples. The murderer always pretends to be the victim."
Facing Fudge's pressing questions, Dumbledore ignored them, which made Fudge a little impatient. At this time, he saw Bree standing next to McGonagall, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, look, isn't this Mr. Bree Olde who has published papers in some newspapers?"
Who knows how Fudge met Bree, but it was obvious that he needed Bree to stand up. He continued: "I have read your thesis, and it is a very strange idea. Maybe you want to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation. As long as I am still The Minister will definitely help you, and I believe your talent can flourish in the Ministry of Magic."
After a burst of praise, Professor McGonagall on the side couldn't stand it. The paper published by Bree did not cause much splash at all. It was more questioned and ridiculed, and was regarded as a joke. Some Slytherin guys knew this. Everything was secretly said about Bree's arrogance, and she was only in second grade and tried to use the help of professors to become famous.
Seeing this, Fudge took Bree by the shoulders, pushed him to Dumbledore, and said seriously: "Let's talk about it, maybe you have already had a problem with Dumbledore, and you are the one who is petrified. A friend?"
By this time, Harry and Ron had already followed Wes and the twins into the school hospital, otherwise Fudge would have dragged Harry, his savior.
Dumbledore looked at Bree who was being pulled over with a headache. If there was anyone he didn't want to see the most right now, it would definitely be Bree, because he knew that if it involved things related to Bree, then he would definitely not Will ignore it.
Apparently, Bree was coming to the hospital because Hermione was petrified.
"While I don't like the Ministry of Magic, I think I do have something to ask Dumbledore."
Fudge's expression froze, but he quickly ignored the previous sentence and said, "Oh, come on, Dumbledore is not perfect."
Bree looked at Dumbledore and asked, "How are you going to deal with the next thing?"
"...I will protect the life safety of every little wizard. As I said, if any little wizard dies in Hogwarts, I will resign."
Dumbledore looked serious and asked Bree at this time: "I'm curious, what did you do last night, Oded?"
Bree heard the harshness in Dumbledore's words, and the air around him seemed to solidify, causing Fudge to take a few steps back.
"Is this...this?"
Fudge felt the faint pressure of magic around Dumbledore and swallowed his saliva.
He had never understood Dumbledore's true strength. When he was a child, Dumbledore had already stood at the top of the wizarding world. At this time, seeing a trace of power revealed by Dumbledore made his heart pound. Thumping.
"Albus?"
When Fudge called out to Dumbledore in fear, hoping that he would calm down, Bree looked back at Dumbledore with sharp eyes, and the magic power in her body surged out, resisting Dumbledore's intimidation.
But this also made Bree understand Dumbledore's power. Like a small boat in the sea, Bree turned pale from the impact.
"Dumbledore!"
Professor McGonagall and Sprout walked up quickly and asked, "What are you doing?"
Dumbledore smiled. He didn't really want to hurt Bree, and Bree felt it, so he was very calm.
"I guess that won't shut me up, Headmaster Dumbledore."
"I can tell you that I went to the Forbidden Forest and a Niffler took away my Nico. Of course, I also found something different, but I won't tell you because of distrust."
Bree snorted coldly and exited Dumbledore's magic range. This meant that Bree would no longer ask what Dumbledore would do next. This made Dumbledore very satisfied. It was Bree who said he entered the forbidden area. Lin Liao had no intention of pursuing the case. Anyway, there were so many people coming in every year, and Brie was not the least of them.
But there is still work to be done on the surface.
Dumbledore smiled helplessly at Bree, then looked at Fudge and said, "Cornelly, I think you can go back."
Fudge was short of breath. The person he brought was no match for Dumbledore, and this time it was just a test. He said: "Oh, don't mind, today is just the Ministry of Magic's concern for Hogwarts. I have to come and see it." Look, I'm off then, Albus."
I will come back again, hope Malfoy didn't lie to him!
Fudge turned around, snorted viciously where no one could see him, and strode out of Hogwarts.
McGonagall and Sprout looked at Bree. When they saw that there was no problem, they looked at Dumbledore seriously, hoping to give an explanation.
Dumbledore sighed and prepared to deal with McGonagall and Sprout with a headache, when he heard Bree say: "Principal Dumbledore, I think you are the principal, right? The wizards won't hold back, you must know that."
After Bree finished speaking, she pursed her lips and shook her head at Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout, and whispered: "Dumbledore didn't mean any harm. He just wanted to tell me that I shouldn't be too proud of myself after learning magic and having talents. Big, this is my punishment for entering the Forbidden Forest."
This is of course a lie, but it is just an opportunity that Bree gave Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was stunned, stroking his hands under his long robe, looking at Bree vaguely, and said nothing for a long time.
At this second, he actually felt that he had done something wrong.
But…
Soon, Dumbledore smiled apologetically at Bree and said: "There is no need to pursue the matter of the Forbidden Forest. I think Mr. Ode has accepted the punishment, so go and see your friends."
Dumbledore rejected Bree's kindness. He had already discovered the traces of Voldemort, or Tom, how could he give up, and this diary... This is a Horcrux, and indeed Voldemort made it!
Returning to the principal's office, Dumbledore looked at the diary lying on the table and carefully opened it. With a wave of his hand, the name on the title page - Tom Riddle - appeared on it.
"Tom."
Dumbledore closed his eyes and sat calmly on the chair without saying a word. It was not until a rigorous old man with a smart face and a goatee appeared in the picture frame on the wall that he came back to his senses.
"Malfoy is going to contact some people, all from the school board. They want to remove you from your position."
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Dumbledore carefully. As portraits of previous principals in the principal's room, their purpose of existence is to help the principal complete the subsequent work. Although they share the same ideas, they actually have little to do with the original characters.
"Thank you for letting me know, Phineas, I already know."
Phineas's eyes were sharp and he asked tentatively: "You are not going to stop it?"
Dumbledore didn't reply, just closed the diary and took out the dagger that Nico Flamel had brought on Valentine's Day.
"Voldemort's Horcrux must be more than just this one, and that prophecy..."
The prophecy that the child born in July will be Voldemort's nemesis, whether true or false, must be true as long as Dumbledore and Voldemort agree.
"Harry will definitely go down this path. It was destined before he was even born."
Become the savior of his game with the purebloods.
"Phineas, please help me find out about the Black family."
Phineas was stunned for a long time.
"What are you going to do to Blake?"
Phineas Black is a member of the Black family, but now he is just a portrait character. He cannot refuse Dumbledore's request.
"Help me take a look at the situation of Black's old house. I think you can go in and take a look. Although you can't get close to the core, it doesn't matter. There will be a new owner there soon."
Dumbledore said as he found a piece of letter paper from the drawer, wrote something on it, signed it, and handed it to Phoenix.
Phineas looked carefully, but because the distance was too far, he could only see the word Lupine.
After sending the letter away, Dumbledore looked at the principal's office and said with some regret: "Maybe I have to leave for a while. This is really a novel experience. I have stayed at Hogwarts for so long, and this is the place. It’s like my home.”
What Bree had said came back to Dumbledore's mind.
"I am indeed the principal, Oded, but I am also the leader of the white wizards. Someone has to do some things. I would rather someone replace me as the principal so that the little wizards can grow up happily."
