Chapter 199: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (40)

Leah paced under a tree, thinking about the matter Hermione had raised, and before deciding to help her, Leah had to consider all the possible implications of this matter, and carefully evaluate the impact of this matter on her father and herself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After weighing her mind, Leah asked, "Why should I help you?" ”

Hearing Leah ask, the corners of Hermione's mouth widened and she laughed, this sentence shows that Leah already feels that there is no problem and can agree, at this time she only needs to give a reasonable reason, dealing with Ravenclaw will always encounter this situation, they need a reason for everything.

The reason Hermione was ready, and she said, "Hagrid will thank you if you help Buckbeak escape." ”

Leah smiled and said, "So what? "Hagrid is just a caretaker of the Forbidden Forest, of course, and now a professor at Hogwarts, but this professor doesn't have much weight in Leah's eyes, and gratitude from such a person is not a big bargaining chip for her.

Hermione continued, "Hagrid is a Gryffindor, and he's very popular with the students at the Lion House, and you'll make a good impression on Gryffindor if you help him. "Gryffindor's momentum is very good right now, and getting Gryffindor's favor will be very beneficial to her future actions.

Liya thought for a moment and said, "The reason is not enough. "Her main position is still in Ravenclaw, and to be honest, the aura of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor is a bit conflicting, so she should take care of her side first.

Hermione was not discouraged, but said with confidence: "Hagrid is still one of Dumbledore's most trusted people. ”

Leah glanced at Hermione, she didn't expect Hermione to come up with such a reason, Dumbledore has an important position in the wizarding world, and it is indeed useful to get a favor from him, but she is a little unwilling to let Hermione go so easily.

"But Dumbledore was a man of faith and will, and he was not influenced by Hagrid. ”

Hermione said approvingly: "It's true that no one can influence Dumbledore's thoughts, but the Order of the Phoenix is not only Dumbledore, you should also know that the people of the Order of the Phoenix talk about love and equality all day long, and the excellent quality of gratitude is not rare there, you have done Hagrid such a great favor, and you will always get enough rewards from him and the Order of the Phoenix in the future." "It's not possible, it's certain, especially for a simple-minded person like Hagrid, there will be some kind of reward for helping him, and given his special status, this reward is likely to be far beyond Leah's expectations.

Leah thought about this clearly, and finally nodded, and said, "Okay, I promise, tomorrow Ravenclaw will have a lesson in protecting magical creatures, you tell Hagrid, in that class I will ride Buckbeak around the sky, and in the process let the big bird find a chance to escape." ”

"Thank you, Leah, thank you." Hermione said with crooked eyes, she felt a little like selling Hagrid to Leah, but Hagrid always had to pay a price if she wanted to save Buckbeak, in her opinion, this price was already very slight, and even if Leah used Hagrid in the future, wouldn't there be anything wrong with her.

……

After successfully sending Buckbeak away, Hermione and Leah were just like all the other students engaged in the intense preparation for the final exams, and the third year of Hogwarts was already a bit difficult, and it was not so easy to pass the exams.

While the students were busy preparing for the exams, Phyllis was also busy, of course, she was not busy producing the exam papers, but thinking about some questions, so she also pushed off all the work at hand, including the research and deduction of the few magic notes she had obtained.

Phyllis did this because she sensed that the guards at Hogwarts Castle had become a little weaker lately. Harry had already been injured twice by the Dementors' blatant intrusion into Hogwarts, especially the second time, which was dangerous for a young wizard of his age. This already made Dumbledore extremely angry, especially considering that some, if not all, of the Dementors had fallen to Voldemort and returned to his command. Now that the Dementors were completely untrusted by Dumbledore, he saw them as a danger to the school, and he was adamant not to allow the Dementors to patrol the school's vicinity.

Dumbledore also had a fierce quarrel with the Ministry of Magic, although due to Dumbledore's great prestige and strong power, the Ministry of Magic finally relented and removed most of the Dementors, leaving only some hiding in a Hogsmeade stronghold, but this caused a very huge damage to the relationship between the two.

As Carl wrote to Phyllis:

"Dumbledore's decision is incomprehensible to the Ministry of Magic, and although the Dementors were somewhat out of control before, they are still under the authority of the Ministry of Magic, and we have taken a lot of steps to ensure that this does not happen again. But now, the Headmaster told us to 'fuck off', a word that I didn't say, it was Dumbledore's exact words, and it made Miss Dolores Umbridge, who had gone to the conversation, go mad.

"Dumbledore will not accept any compromises or compromises, just let us go, do not disturb the normal order of Hogwarts again, knowing that we are hunting down an important and murderous fugitive, which is the duty and full strength entrusted to the Ministry by all wizards. After making this strong and unreasonable demand, Dumbledore did not give enough convincing reasons to make the entire Ministry of Magic incomprehensible and even more unacceptable, and just when everyone decided to make the great headmaster understand that the Ministry of Magic was the only force that kept the wizarding world running, our weak Minister Fudge relented once again and agreed to withdraw most of the Dementors and other Aurors from the confines of Hogwarts schools, leaving only a small number of Dementors in a small Hogsmeade stronghold.

"We often say that Dumbledore was strong and wise, but at least he didn't handle it properly, and he succeeded in angering the entire Ministry of Magic, both the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix were important forces in keeping the wizarding world peaceful and prosperous, but now, there are deep scars between the two. Given the current situation, this is not a happy thing. ”

Although Carl was full of complaints in his heart, Phyllis believed that the director of the Law Enforcement Division was definitely in a happy mood to write this letter, because the reason why things have developed to this point is definitely due to his encouragement, especially sending Dolores Umbridge to negotiate with Dumbledore, which was definitely his idea.

The Ministry of Magic is where Carl works, and it is also where he runs his own forces, in the last war, the Ministry of Magic did not have a powerful wizard who could compete with Voldemort, so that in the end, it was the Order of the Phoenix led by Dumbledore to resist the ravages of the Death Eaters, which made Dumbledore also have many supporters and admirers in the Ministry of Magic. If it weren't for Phyllis, Carl wouldn't have cared too much about this, but now it's different, and the "immortal" Phyllis has made Carl see a possibility - he will lead the Ministry of Magic to resist Voldemort's return this time, so as to achieve the rise of Ravenclaw. In this case, both Dumbledore and Fudge became an obstacle for Cal, and he handled the incident beautifully, killing two birds with one stone and hitting the prestige of Dumbledore and Fudge in the Ministry of Magic at the same time.

After driving the Dementors out of Hogwarts completely, there were indeed some gaps in the school's defenses, and the professors at Hogwarts have been busier recently due to the close up of the exams, and they are busier than ever. The reason why this year will be so busy is because Headmaster Dumbledore is particularly strict about this exam, according to him, he hopes to draw a successful end to the end of this school year, and prepare well for the next school year, next school year the other two European schools of witchcraft and wizardry will come to Hogwarts to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, he hopes to fully show the good side of Hogwarts in front of his sister schools.

Although this reason is not very reliable and a little unreasonable, the professors didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was their own work, and it was a good thing to be strict with the student card, so that they knew that it was very important to study in their daily lives, and not just to play around. Come to think of it, ordinary children are already difficult to manage at this age, not to mention these puberty little ones who have the power of magic, but don't know how to control and restrain them, they can really make trouble and can drive the professor crazy, for example, the Weasleys twins, are typical representatives.

The professors gladly accepted Headmaster Dumbledore's request for the exam, but Phyllis always felt that something was wrong. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, coincidentally or deliberately, Hogwarts' defenses are constantly weakening, and this raises the possibility that Sirius Black, who is still on the run, will have more chances to infiltrate here.

What Phyllis is doing now is the same as Karl, secretly attacking Dumbledore, and his high position is blocking the path of many people, so naturally he will attract a lot of hatred. But at the same time, they don't have much confidence in their hearts, and the best case scenario is that Dumbledore is in front, and they only need to reap the final fruits of victory, so the actions of both are carried out secretly.

Why Dumbledore did this, what Sirius meant to him and his plans, was something that Phyllis had been thinking about lately, and she had to figure it out, see through Dumbledore's plan, and then sabotage it.

It wasn't easy to guess Dumbledore's mind, and Phyllis racked her brains for days, but she didn't have any clue.

Phyllis picked up a pencil and scribbled on the paper.

It is extremely difficult to see through the inner thoughts of any one person, but at the same time, the behavior pattern of a person, especially a sane person, must be traceable, so in the general direction, Dumbledore's behavior should be inferred.

This requires deeper digging - what did Dumbledore hope for, or fear?

Afraid that your ideas won't come true? For people like Karl, there will indeed be this kind of worry, but for Dumbledore, for Voldemort, and also for Phyllis herself, this will definitely not be a problem, they all have a strong power in their hearts, and with this power support, there will be no problems in confidence, even if they encounter a big setback, they will not waver. Phyllis was convinced that even Voldemort, who was still a ghost, had more confidence than Carl.

The only thing that could make Dumbledore worry was death, especially when he saw that the Death Eaters turned into a rabble immediately after Voldemort was "dead", and the mansion collapsed and fled in all directions, which would definitely cause him to worry about death.

Although public opinion in the wizarding world has been rendering the Death Eaters who follow Voldemort to be evil people who covet power, Dumbledore should know that there are indeed many Death Eaters who really accept Voldemort, or Slytherin's ideas, and he also knows very well that although his members of the Order of the Phoenix have no problem in terms of loyalty, none of them have the ability to fight Voldemort, this is not only in terms of ability, but more importantly, in terms of faith, will the Order of the Phoenix also fall apart after his death, He wouldn't be too confident in that.

While Voldemort was waiting for a chance to rise again, Dumbledore was also arranging his own backhand, he needed a successor, a long-awaited successor who could inherit his ideas, and he found the boy he held up in his hands, Harry Potter.

Harry Potter, when Phyllis wrote the name, finally found a little bit of an idea. Before Voldemort fully returns, the focus of all Dumbledore's actions will fall on this little boy, although he is very young, and his talent is indeed not comparable to Voldemort, but after more than ten years of rendering, he has indeed become a banner, a company that can unite the Order of the Phoenix without losing Dumbledore, and will not scatter the core. That's enough.

Since Dumbledore's arrangement was for Harry Potter, it meant that Sirius' meeting with Harry would not hurt him, but would be beneficial to his growth.

Phyllis can only deduce this, as for why Sirius's appearance will bring Harry what she doesn't know, it should have something to do with Harry's parents, Harry's upbringing is not good, and the presence of his father's best friend in his life force should help his psychological growth. But Phyllis didn't need to think so clearly, she just needed to be a law-abiding citizen and help the Ministry of Magic catch Sirius who was on the run. (To be continued.) )
