In the discussion of the apparition apparition, time flies.

Soon, it was time for Evan and Harry to go to Dumbledore's class.

This time, Dumbledore had specifically instructed the two of them to come a little earlier, so the time was an hour and a half earlier than usual.

At half past six in the evening, two people arrived at the principal's office on time.

The lights in Dumbledore's office were on, and as they walked in, portraits of the Headmasters were snoring softly in frames on the walls.

Evan felt like these guys were pretending to be asleep every time he came.

It's half past six in the evening, and dinner in the auditorium downstairs isn't over yet, shouldn't it be the most exciting time for the spirits?

At this point, Dumbledore sat behind his desk, a meditation basin and a steaming drink in front of him.

He smiled as he watched them walk into the office, looking good. But as he approached Dumbledore, Evan sniffed his nose vigorously, he smelled a potion in the air and asked, absolutely yes, although it was masked by the smell of the drink, but he was sure that Dumbledore must have drunk potions before......

Is it because of those weird spells on the right hand?

Could it be that those spell damage has reached the point where it needs to be suppressed by potions?

Before Evan could say anything, he heard Dumbledore say, "I heard that you met the Minister of Magic on Christmas Day?"

"Yes, we've seen it, we've talked a lot, but it's almost useless. Evan replied, glancing at Dumbledore, but didn't see anything.

"I don't think he's very happy with the two of us. Harry followed.

"yes, not satisfied!" Dumbledore sighed, "in fact, he wasn't very happy with me. But let's try not to get depressed by the pain, there's a lot of work to do, keep fighting, Aven, Harry. ”

Harry was amused by Dumbledore as he said, "He wants us to tell the wizarding world that the Ministry of Magic is doing a great job. ”

"I know. Dumbledore laughed as well, "This was Fudge's idea, in his last days in office, desperately trying to keep his position, he came to me, and he wanted to see you, Harry, I hope you can support him......"

"What, after Fudge did all that last year?" Harry asked angrily, "after Umbridge?"

"Well, so I told Fudge it couldn't be, but the idea didn't die after he left. We met a few hours after Scrimgeour was appointed, and he asked me to arrange an interview with you, mainly because of the prophecy, which he probably thought was the way to defeat Voldemort. Dumbledore said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, Aven, after the media coverage of what you did in Egypt last summer, he wanted to meet with you, and he thought you could help him." ”

"He wants us to help him and make a good impression of the Ministry of Magic. Evan said.

"Yes, that's his plan, and he thinks it's your duty to help the Ministry of Magic maintain the current order. But it doesn't really seem to me to be of much use. So, I rejected him, and we had an argument about it. Dumbledore said, "But Rufus managed to get you back. ”

"I don't think Mr. Minister is ready for a war, he's just thinking about his place. "He also said he would give me a medal of the Order of Merlin, 1st class for my service to Egypt, but we turned him down, and I don't think it's possible now. ”

"Not necessarily, Avan, I know Rufus very well, he's fair. Dumbledore said, "But as we have seen, the positions are different, the things to consider and the starting points are different. Rufus is an experienced Auror, but the first thing he needs to think about now is how to secure his position as Minister of Magic, and second, the war that is coming. ”

"Is there really going to be a war?" asked Harry suddenly.

"I'd like to see a more peaceful way to defeat Voldemort, but at the moment, it's very unlikely. Dumbledore replied, "In fact, the war has already begun, and Rufus and the Ministry of Magic just don't want to believe it." ”

The official narrative is that the situation is tense at the moment, but everything is still under the control of the Ministry of Magic, so don't panic.

But out of sight, Voldemort's strength and the size of his army were rapidly expanding.

There was a brief silence in the office, and Evan noticed that Phineas was secretly looking at them, snoring.

As if noticing that Evan saw him, he immediately closed his eyes and purred louder.

"Professor!" Harry said after a moment's hesitation, "After we refused, Scrimgeour ended by saying that the two of us were a lot like you, and that we were 'Dumbledore through and through'. ”

"Oh, he's so rude, it's a baseless accusation. ”

"But I said, I am. Harry said sincerely, "I told him I was Dumbledore's man." ”

It was clear that Harry was not trying to show loyalty, but he really wanted to say it, he really wanted to say it.

At the time, he replied very directly, telling Scrimgeour that he was Dumbledore's man.

Ai Wen dodged the question and did not say anything directly.

Behind his desk, Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again as Phoenix Fawkes let out a soft, melodious low.

Harry's words made Dumbledore's bright blue eyes moisten a little, and if Evan was not mistaken, it should be.

Harry noticed this, too, and he was so embarrassed that he looked down at his knee.

But when Dumbledore spoke again, his voice was still quite calm.

"I'm impressed, Harry. He said, "And you, Aven, thank you,"

"It's nothing, Professor, we just made the right choice. Avan noticed that Harry hadn't looked up yet, so he said, "I suggested he talk to you openly and honestly, but he refused, and I don't think the Ministry of Magic is ready for a war. Well, in addition to wooing us, he wants to know what you've been up to lately, where are you going when you're not at Hogwarts?"

In fact, Evan was also curious about what Dumbledore had been up to lately!

Looking for the rest of the Horcruxes?Voldemort's memories?Slytherin's clues?or something related to the evil gods?

"yes, yes, he's very fond of asking about that. I know, it's curious. Dumbledore's voice became cheerful, "It's funny that he even tried to stare at my tip." It wasn't a good thing that he sent Delix to follow me, I had already been forced to use the spell on Delix, and unfortunately I used it again. ”

"So they don't know where you've been?"

"yes, they don't know. Dumbledore smiled and said, "I can't tell you two right now, there's still some things that haven't been figured out, and I don't want you to be distracted by that." Now, the most important thing for us is to continue the lessons. Well, there's also something about house-elf homes......"
