Seeing Harry looking at him, Evan recounted his experience at the Sun Ruins briefly.

From time to time, Dumbledore interjected and asked what he was interested in, mainly about the gods of ancient Egypt.

Harry, like Hermione, was interested in Ramses II and marveled at Aven's ability to meet Pharaoh himself.

"Egypt, its fascinating ancient ruins and amazing power, as well as its lost history, are very instructive and instructive. Dumbledore lamented, "Voldemort thinks he's different, but a lot of what he does is just trying to repeat what wizards used to do......"

Evan glanced at Dumbledore thoughtfully, what did he mean by that?

What is it called, Voldemort is repeating what those wizards did in the past?

Could it be that he was referring to Voldemort's attempt to turn himself into an evil god?

Did Dumbledore have any information?

Dumbledore didn't seem to want to explain or expand on Aven's question.

He led them through deserted streets, around a corner, past a phone booth and a bus shelter.

"Professor, where the hell are we?" Hermione finally asked, "This neighborhood looks scary. ”

"Oh, this is the charming village of Badley Barberton, Hermione. Dumbledore said, "Unfortunately, we can't visit during the day, and believe me, it looks scary right now, mainly because of the late night......"

"What are we doing here?"

"Ah, by the way, because Aven's story is so fascinating, I haven't told you yet. Dumbledore said, "Well, I can't remember how many times I've said this in recent years, but we can't help it, and now we have another shortage of teachers." We came to persuade a retired colleague of mine to come back to work and return to Hogwarts. ”

"Why did Sirius ......," Harry said immediately.

"Sirius has other missions, you should know about it. Dumbledore said.

"He said it. Harry nodded, and continued, "And how can we help, sir?"

"Oh, I think you'll come in handy. Dumbledore said vaguely, "Now turn left, boys." ”

They walked up a steep, narrow street lined with rows of houses.

The night seemed to get colder, and a thick fog mixed with cold lingered in the place.

This makes one can't help but resound the Dementors, who, after defecting to Azkaban, seem to be hiding in this place, hiding behind the house.

"Professor, why can't we just apparition to your old colleague's house?" Harry asked again.

"Because that's as rude as kicking open someone's door. Dumbledore said, "Politely ask us to offer other wizards the opportunity to refuse us, but most wizarding residences have magic to ward off undesirable apparitions." For example, no apparitions can be made in Hogwarts castles or hunting grounds......"

"You can't cloak, shapeshift, or use any Muggle electronics. Hermione added.

"You're certainly the first student to finish a serious history of Hogwarts, Hermione, but there are a lot of defenses and magic that you wouldn't normally use. So, if you want to use Muggle appliances at school, I don't think you should have too much of a problem, of course, provided that you take care of the energy of those devices. Dumbledore said, "Now, let's turn left again." ”

Behind them, the church bell rang for midnight.

Harry put his hand in his pocket because of the cold, and he reached for the booklet, which he hastily slipped in before leaving.

"By the way, did you receive such a Ministry of Magic brochure?" he asked, pulling it out.

"One for everyone. Hermione said.

"I didn't receive it, it looks like I missed it, what does it say?" Evan took the booklet.

"It's about security measures on how to deal with Death Eaters. ”

"The Ministry of Magic published it, so it's probably useless!" said Aven, returning the booklet to Harry.

"Maybe it will do something......"

"I don't think it's useful, they probably copied it down in a book. Dumbledore said, "For example, Harry, you didn't ask me which jam I liked the most to test if I was indeed Professor Dumbledore and not an impostor. ”

"yes, I didn't ......" Harry didn't finish, he wasn't sure if he was being criticized.

"For future use, I might as well tell you that my favorite is raspberry jam. Of course, if I were a Death Eater, I'd definitely figure out what jam I liked before pretending to be my own. ”

"Well, that's right. Harry said, a little annoyed, he felt like he was looking stupid.

"All you need is more experience, Harry, experience against Death Eaters and real dark wizards, something that takes time to build up rather than learn from a booklet. Dumbledore said, seemingly seeing through what Harry was thinking.

"The Ministry of Magic is wasting its time, look at the current dire situation, Scrimgeour doesn't seem to be much better than Fudge. Hermione said.

"Well, it's not very objective, Hermione, Rufus is more decisive and bold than Connelly. "He's a resolute man, and most of his work has been devoted to dealing with dark wizards, so he can't underestimate Voldemort's power, but I must admit that the current problems of the Ministry of Magic cannot be solved by changing the minister, and some of his own ideas are debatable." ”

"But many died, even Mrs. Burns ......"

"yes. Dumbledore whispered, "A terrible loss, she's a great wizard, I think it's up there." ”

He lifted his finger and his sleeve slipped off, revealing his hand with the Gaunt ring.

Evan saw the magic runes on the back of Dumbledore's hand at a glance, and noticing his gaze, Dumbledore put his hand down for a long time.

"Professor, how did you get your hands? These lines ...... on it?"

"Just an accident, Aven, we're prone to a lot of unexpected surprises when using some dangerous ancient magic. Dumbledore said, "Luckily, there's nothing wrong with it......"

Is there no problem? What is a dangerous ancient magic?

Evan looked at Dumbledore, did he do anything this summer?

But the headmaster didn't say anything, he just smiled gently at Aven.

A few minutes later, they stopped in front of a neat little stone house nestled in the garden.

"Oh my! Oh my God, oh my God, my God, my God!"

With Dumbledore's exclamation, everyone's hearts sank.

They saw that the hinges of the front door were open, and the door hung crookedly.

Evan pouted, if Professor Slughorn was in this house, then the situation in front of him was indeed very confusing.

It makes people think that this place is under attack, and they have to be vigilant.

Dumbledore cautiously looked across the street, and there seemed to be no one.

"Aven, Harry, Hermione, pull out your wands and come with me. He whispered.
