"Of course I'm mindful!" Malfoy argued excitedly, "I've been busy with this all year, ...... tonight"

At this moment, a dull shout came from somewhere in the castle below.

Malfoy froze, and quickly turned his head to look behind him.

The trembling wand in his hand was deflected, if Dumbledore rushed over at this time, no, Harry felt that as long as Dumbledore walked over, Malfoy would not resist at all, but Dumbledore did not move, he leaned his whole body weight on it with the double snake staff in both hands, and said casually, "Someone is struggling to resist, we just talked about it...... By the way, you finally succeeded in getting Death Eaters into my school, I admit, I thought it was impossible...... How did you do that?"

But Malfoy didn't answer, he was still listening to the action, and he didn't even look back at Dumbledore.

He seemed to be as frozen as Harry, unable to move.

"That's not going to work, Draco, it's not going to work, maybe you should do it all by yourself. Dumbledore gave him an idea, "Although you have a lot of people here tonight, what if your backup is defeated by my guards? You don't need help anyway, look, I don't have a wand at the moment, there's no way to protect myself. ”

Malfoy turned his head again, just staring blankly at him.

Then, his gaze shifted to Dumbledore's twin serpent staffs.

He looked at the two green pythons in front of him, and his expression gradually became frightened, as if he had just noticed them.

"Don't pay attention to them, you can think of this scepter as an ornament. Trust me, this scepter won't do you any harm. Dumbledore said gently, seeing that Malfoy was neither moving nor speaking, he nodded slightly, "Ah, I see, you are scared of what you have to do, and you will not dare to do it until they come up." ”

"I'm not afraid!" Malfoy immediately roared fiercely, like an angry cat, but he still didn't hurt Dumbledore, "You should be the one who is scared!"

"But why? I don't think you're going to kill me, Draco, it's not as easy as most people think...... Well, while we're waiting for your friends, tell me about it...... How did you get them in? You seem to have taken a long time to figure it out. ”

Malfoy seemed desperately trying to restrain himself from screaming or vomiting.

He swallowed his saliva, took a few deep breaths, and glared at Dumbledore fiercely, his wand pointed at Dumbledore's chest. Then, as if involuntarily, he said, "I had to fix the broken cabinet that had not been used for many years, the same one that Monte had locked up in it last year and couldn't get out." ”

"Ah......h I remember there were two in the cupboard, didn't I?"

"The other one is in the Borgin Burke store!" said Malfoy, "and they built a passage between the two cabinets, and Monty told me that he couldn't move when he was locked up in the Hogwarts cabinet, but sometimes he could hear the school and sometimes he could hear what was going on in the shop, as if the cabinets were running around in both places, but no one could hear him...... In the end, he managed to escape through the apparition, although he failed the exam and his apparition nearly killed him. Everyone thought it was a funny story, but I was the only one who realized the meaning, not even Borgin, and only I realized that if I fixed the broken cabinet, I would be able to enter Hogwarts through the two vanishing cabinets. ”

"Good. Dumbledore muttered, "So that the Death Eaters can enter the school from the Borgin Burke Store to help you...... An ingenious plan, a very ingenious plan. And, as you said, right under my nose......"

"Yes!" Malfoy said, strangely seeking courage and comfort from Dumbledore's praise, "yes, that's it!"

"Very clever, but I have to correct that you are not the only one who knows, in fact, Evan has reminded me of this many times over the past year. ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Malfoy's newly raised courage disappeared in an instant, and his expression was already quite frightened, as if he was greatly frightened, "You, you mean, Mason already knows?!

"Presumably you noticed that Harry had been trying to follow you into the Room of Requirement and find out what you were doing, and he failed, but he wasn't the only one doing it. ”

"May and Mason went in with me?!" Malfoy said in horror.

"Not at the same time, but he should have guessed that you went to that room. Dumbledore said mildly, "He's been using that room for the last few years, and no one is more familiar with the Room of Requirement than he is, he's guessed where you've been, he's been in and looked after you've left, and he's found the vanishing cabinet......"

"It can't be!" Malfoy said disbelievingly, "there are so many things in that room, I'm careful every time, there's no way he's going to know the secret of the Vanishing Cabinet, there's no way he's going to ......"

"Magic isn't actually as simple as you think, Draco, you still have a lot to learn. In fact, I'm still saying that, what you've done is so obvious and lame that even without Aven's reminder, I'll find out it's you. I don't think you were sure you were going to fix the vanishing cabinet, so you took some clumsy, ill-conceived steps, like giving me a magic necklace that would definitely end up in someone's hands...... And poisoning mead, which is actually very unlikely that I will drink it......"

"You can't possibly know who planned these things. Malfoy said.

"But I already knew. Dumbledore said, taking a step back and leaning against the wall, apparently his legs and feet running out of strength, "I know you did it." ”

"No way, you can't know, no way, this can't be! If you've found out everything, why don't you stop me?" Malfoy asked aloud, his panicked voice growing faster, "Why did you let me do those things?!"
