Chapter 29: The Meeting (5)

"So, Professor McGonagall, what is the matter with your coming here?" Holly turned to Professor McGonagall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Professor Dumbledore seems to have something to do with you, and besides, I seem to have seen Cornelius Fudge when I came over, and I think this news might be of some use to you. McGonagall said, also helpless, and it seemed that she didn't want to come over and pass the word.

"Oh, okay, thank you~" Holly responded, "but I don't think Professor Dumbledore is in such a hurry~~ I'll go back to him when I have time." I think he's seen you tell me. Holly pointed to a piece of reflective glass in the distance.

Seeing this, McGonagall didn't say much.

Returning to the Ravenclaw Tower, Holly was finally able to relax a little, and after calling out to Dolly to get him something to eat, Holly lay on the bed, probing himself for changes. The ring on the left hand, I don't know when it bloomed again, a black rose, eight petals, symbolizing the improvement of strength again. Retracting the magic used to activate the ring, Holly began to quietly wonder what Dumbledore would do to her, and what benefits he would get.

Now it can be thought of that there must be a Hippogriff, Dumbledore can't come to her for an animal, this kind of negotiation meeting, who invites first means who admits defeat first, at least a Hippogriff with a winged beast is definitely not worth Dumbledore's bow, then the only thing on campus that can be worthy of Dumbledore's head is related to one person - Harry Potter. Related to Harry Potter, Holly first thought of the will, but then thought that in terms of Dumbledore's previous performance, he didn't seem to know about the will, and then Cialis Black, Blake, as the godfather of Harry Potter, if he can appear publicly, then it will definitely greatly reduce Dumbledore's control over Harry Potter, and there will be less bargaining capital with the Ministry of Magic, and it is estimated that Dumbledore will not be able to make requests to help Siris Black clear his name. After thinking about it for a while, Holly only felt that he could only vaguely grasp a line, but he didn't know what would happen next.

However, after a period of tossing, the conditions that Holly wanted became clear - the Wizarding Tournament of the Three Powers, a competition that only a few people know, but Holly's participation in the competition also has several big obstacles, on the one hand, he is a member of the high-level of the Ministry of Magic, and it is impossible not to know about this competition, but fortunately, Holly can find an excuse to avoid being directly involved in the preparation of the game, at least to avoid participating in the negotiation of the content of the game, and on the other hand, it is the headmaster of Hogwarts - Albus Dumbledore. The Triwizard Tournament is a tournament with a high mortality rate, and it's hard to say that Dumbledore wouldn't have designed any age-related restrictions to exclude a large number of junior wizards, but in this case, Holly would not be eligible to participate. Therefore, no matter what Dumbledore proposes, at least the qualification to enter the Top Three Wizarding Tournament, Holly does not want to lose because of Dumbledore's obstruction.

While Holly was struggling with what conditions Dumbledore would negotiate with him, Dumbledore was also thinking in the Headmaster's office.

There is no doubt that taking the initiative to ask to meet with Heley is a choice that he has to make, if there is no Heli and Erinka, his next plan is actually flawless, and then the biggest variable appears here in Heli. It's hard to say how much trouble Holly and Erinka have caused Dumbledore, at least less than Harry Potter, but the presence of the two at Hogwarts has made Dumbledore have to hold back on many things, after all, even in the schoolyard, even if there are children of twelve school directors like Draco Malfoy, they and their parents will still be slower to transmit information, not to mention, many small actions, those little wizards, may not be able to notice. However, the two Ravenclaw little witches who are hung with Hogwarts special observers have a consciousness far beyond ordinary people, and they can always cross each other in key positions, making themselves feel aggrieved, but they have to pinch their noses to accept it. One year like this, and still in second grade...

Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, Dumbledore had to find another messenger, Lady Gray, Helena Ravenclaw to be exact, and ask her to help urge Holly.

Lying on the bed, Holly realized the passage of time only when she heard the message delivered by Helena.

After straightening her clothes and taking one last sip of black coffee, Holly turned and disappeared into the girls' dormitory in Ravenclaw.

Eighth floor, inside the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. Dumbledore didn't sit in his tall chair as usual, but stood on the edge of the bed, looking into the distance. On the wall behind him, a door appeared silently, and Holly, dressed in a black wizard's robe, appeared there, holding a wand in his left hand, ready to fight.

"Relax, our Minister of Magic, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, Special Observer of Hogwarts, Miss Countess. Dumbledore teased.

"I don't think it's safe here, at least there's a damn bird over there that is a visual expression of its owner's attitude towards me. He took his wand and pointed at the phoenix that was resting on the side, Fawkes. Frightened, the phoenix, who had just stared at Holly, quickly jumped up and hovered in the air.

"Alright, come down, Fawkes. Dumbledore came out to appease his phoenix.

The phoenix hovered in the air for a while, then slowly landed on Dumbledore's outstretched arm.

"Sit down, Holly. Would you like something to drink?" Dumbledore conjured out of thin air two chairs and placed them in a relatively spacious position.

"Forget it~ Listen to the elves at Hogwarts, the headmaster's taste is almost impossible to find a second person in this world who is the same as you... If you have a problem, let's talk about it quickly. After all, it's not too long before dusk, is it?"

"Alright, let's talk about Buckbeak first. Dumbledore began.

"Buckbeak?" Holly wondered.

"Well, it's the Hippogriff..."

"What does this have to do with me, everything about Hippogriffs is Lucius following up. ”

"Nothing, just to confirm, since that's the case, then the Hippogriff's winged beast flying away on its own shouldn't affect you. ”

"No, no, no, this question cannot be understood that way. If I could see it fly away and I didn't report it to the Ministry of Magic, it would be my problem. But... If I had something else to do, it wouldn't be a problem. ”

"So let's talk about Ciris Black. ”

"Ciris Black, what's there to talk about him, the betrayer of that family should be arrested and put back in Azkaban!" said the voice from the portrait next to the headmaster's room.
