Chapter 173: Do You Change the Exam Paper? The kind of one night!
Principal's Office.
After listening to William's account, Dumbledore fell silent for a long time.
"Sorry, Professor, I didn't catch Peter." William sighed softly. "Let him escape."
By the time we left Hogsmeade, it was past twelve o'clock in the night, and it was outside the castle again. Can't use the Ravenclaw ring.
William didn't use the time turner again. Tywin's lesson was too tragic. A few years have passed, and it is still vivid.
He didn't want to kill himself.
"Don't be so upset, William." Dumbledore's slender fingers touched each other gently.
"You should be proud of yourself," he said mildly.
Just a few hours ago, you and Hermione saved three innocent lives.
Sirius, Remus, and Harry...... It's all because of the two of you that we can live. There's nothing more fun than tonight. ”
But Peter ran away. William shook his head.
"If only it had been detected earlier...... I still think that Peter, who died, was less harmful. ”
"Not really." Dumbledore's blue eyes stared at William.
As long as Peter lived, he would never be able to shake off the blame for the death of Jaime and Lily.
Even if he won't admit it. ”
Dumbledore let out a long sigh.
"Peter had a love-hate relationship with the Dark Lord, and even more so with himself.
His life was a tragedy. ”
The headmaster's voice was deep and serious:
"That's right, many people who are alive deserve to die, and some who are dead deserve to live.
We cannot resurrect the dead, but we should not rush to decide whether a person deserves to die or not.
Even a wise man cannot see the end of all things. ”
Dumbledore said calmly, "I have a hunch in my heart that Peter has some important role to play.
Whether it's for evil or for good. ”
"Before all the dust falls." He stared at William and smiled:
"Your decisions will determine the fate of many people, but don't blame yourself. The only thing we can do is to think about how to deal with it in the limited time we have. ”
Listening to the headmaster's words, William suddenly remembered what happened in the morning.
"Professor, I have something to tell you. During the divination exam, Professor Trelawney became more ...... than usual More eccentric. ”
"Really?" Professor Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, "Oh...... Weirder than usual, you mean? ”
Professor Trelawney's voice grew deep, her eyes kept rolling, she might have entered the sage ...... Well, I mean the Prophet mode. William said quickly.
"What did she say?" Dumbledore leaned back in his chair.
She said vigilant night followed...... With the help of servants...... The Dark Lord will rise again.
Coldness breeds resentment, and resentment breeds betrayal. When three traitors appear, death will follow......"
The headmaster seemed slightly surprised, and he paused for a long time before finally looking up and saying:
"You know, William. I've never taken a divination class, and I've always been skeptical of prophecy.
But maybe ......"
His brow furrowed, and he pondered, "Professor Trelawney really made a prophecy. ”
William nodded, and judging by the situation tonight, it seems that this is indeed the case. Sure enough, the school is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Wait a minute...... He didn't offend Professor Trelawney, did he?
William thought for a moment.
Not only no, but it seems that he has bribed a lot of sherry.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought about mixing some water into the sake to save some money...... Thankfully, it didn't happen!
Dumbledore didn't know what William was thinking, and he joked:
"I should have given her a raise...... Someone as brilliant as this must stay at Hogwarts.
I think Sybil himself is aware of this. ”
"That's right." Dumbledore blinked, "At noon, she and Professor McGonagall got into an argument again.
He also hinted to me that the salary was too low. ”
"So Peter will go to Albania and help Voldemort come back to life?" William asked.
According to the first half of the prophecy, this should be the case.
And Peter also happened to be a traitor to Voldemort. He became Tom's little spy.
"I think you guessed right." Dumbledore's tone was flat, as if Voldemort had come back to life, and it was not worth panicking too much.
William bowed slightly. It's not hard to understand.
If Tom wants Old Tom to die, he must first resurrect him. Destroying Horcruxes and resurrecting the Dark Lord are not a matter of conflict.
After Voldemort is resurrected, he will be able to find something for William and them to do. Let him be in the United States, leave enough time for development.
This is also very much in line with Tom's approach. A spy loses the meaning of the word if he doesn't do it.
Dumbledore said contemptuously, "If Peter is destined to find Voldemort and resurrect him, it would be great!" ”
"There are so many other forces in this world that are working in sync.
Voldemort would not have wanted a man who was remorseful about the death of the Potters to complete the process of resurrecting him. ”
"Of course, this is the highest and most incomprehensible realm of magic......"
Just then, there was a commotion at the door.
Fudge took his little green top hat, pushed open the door, and walked in.
He said happily, "It's unbelievable that Harry isn't dead!"
William, you saved the Ministry of Magic tonight! If the immortal boy dies, the Ministry of Magic will explode tomorrow. ”
"So, is it okay to let Professor Lupin go?" William smiled, "Professor Lupin didn't hurt Harry, he was hurt for something else. ”
"Of course, Professor Lupin is not guilty, Hagrid must be mistaken." Fudge sighed, "Harry is so badly injured, Blake must have done it." ”
"Merlin, what a heinous sin! But let him run away, this Dalis ......"
Fudge fiddled with his hat and looked at Dumbledore. "Albus, although I let Lupin go, he must leave this school.
Tonight proved that he was not so safe. ”
"I want to ...... It's a matter between me and the school board. Dumbledore said coldly.
"Okay...... Whatever you want. Fudge's chubby face flushed slightly.
He didn't expect Dumbledore to give him so little face.
William quietly turned away, leaving the office to Fudge and the Headmaster. They're probably going to have to fight again until early in the morning.
After leaving the office, not long after walking, he came across Sirius.
Lifting Harry's invisibility cloak, he didn't look very happy.
"Seen Harry?" William asked.
"Yes, he's sober." Sirius said, "Since he's okay, I should go too." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Hmm...... The ancestral home of the Black family, at 12 Grimmauld Place, London. Dumbledore suggested that I go there first. ”
Sirius slumped.
"I haven't been back there since I ran away from home at the age of sixteen."
Sirius hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I see you guys during the summer vacation?" Invite you, Annie, and Hermione to my house? ”
"I don't think so." William shook his head.
"Hermione and I don't have time in July, the International Wizarding Federation is about to begin."
He thought for a moment and said, "But you can go to the World Cup, we'll go there when we're done." ”
“…… That's right. Sirius excitedly said, "I can borrow Harry's invisibility cloak for the time being, and no one will notice me when I wear it." ”
"Goodbye then, I've heard Hermione's voice, so I won't bother you both."
Sirius put on his cloak of invisibility and went to Harry again.
William turned the hallway and saw Hermione chatting with Tonks.
"What are you talking about?" He asked as he got closer.
Hermione took William's hand and said mysteriously, "I'm talking about Hogsmeade." ”
“……”
"What's that look on your face?" Tonks clasped his hands on his chest and said dissatisfied:
"I'll tell you, William, you don't know how dangerous it was just now!
One team, ten wizards against me. ”
“…… Ten?! Wei's eyebrows were raised, as if he was smiling.
"It's still encountered, it's not encountered, at least this number!" Tonks held out a finger.
"One?"
"Phew, a hundred!" Tonks foamed at the mouth, and she excitedly said, "I'm surrounded by them, and I'm being flanked on all sides!"
They are all dark wizards, all the top masters, Auror level, stronger than you! ”
Tonks' eyebrows fluttered, and his hands danced.
"Oh, I'm still young and inexperienced. Otherwise, I'll take them all and throw them into Azkaban!" ”
"Hey, what are you two laughing at!" Seeing William and Hermione laughing, Tonks said angrily:
"Don't believe it, do you? You don't think I'm lying, do you?
I'm telling the truth! You can swear by Minister Fudge. ”
"Hey, don't go, I still have a lot of details to say.
William, do you want intelligence? As long as ten Galleons...... Why are you going? ”
"At night, of course, I went to sleep." William didn't reply.
Watching the two run away, Tonks stomped his foot in hatred.
Shaking off Tonks, Hermione put her hands behind her back, walked lightly, and stepped on the corridor of the castle.
She took two quick steps, turned around and smiled, "Really go back to the dormitory?" ”
"It's two o'clock in the middle of the night." William glanced at the time, "It's still early, let's go back tomorrow night." ”
"That'...... Going to the Room of Requirement? Hermione asked tentatively.
She hurriedly added. "Change the test paper!"
William couldn't hold back a smile, "Of course, the kind that changes overnight." ”
Hermione nodded vigorously, a big smile raised.
The night breeze blows on the face, blowing the sideburns like turning a book, and the gusts of wind blow the pages.
