Chapter 113: Is Harry Potter an Inner Ghost? (Second Update!) (5/10))
The headmaster wouldn't let William leave, so he had to stand quietly in the corner, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two with his ears sideways.
Fudge glanced at William, his face flushing as if he had drunk a fake wine.
William seemed to suddenly take an interest in Fawkes's nest, and he lowered his head, taking a closer look.
Fawkes wasn't in the nest, probably out for a walk.
William dug into his love nest, and found no phoenix eggs or fallen feathers, but found a lot of Bobo tea snacks, hidden in the corner.
When did the two guys hook up?
Odd!
Also, Fawkes has obviously followed Dumbledore for decades, why doesn't he have children.
If you can't afford to raise it, or you don't like the trouble of bringing a baby, William can help support it without charging any fees.
Even if the child is not Fawkes's, William doesn't mind, he will treat it as Fawkes's biological child, and he will definitely not let it suffer a little grievance.
Seeing that William was really not leaving, Fudge was silent for a moment, and said in a slightly lowered voice:
"Albus, I really don't blame the Dementors this time, they found Blake's traces, otherwise they wouldn't have disobeyed your orders and entered Hogwarts."
"As it turned out, they weren't wrong, and Blake sneaked all the way into the Gryffindor common room......" Fudge sighed.
"Thank you Merlin, it's Halloween and the students are all at dinner.
Blake may have been dazed, he had been on the run, but he didn't expect that last night was Halloween's Eve, and he pounced. ”
"I don't agree with you, Connelly." Dumbledore's voice was serious.
"Dementors entered the castle without permission, there are so many students here, you should know what kind of disaster it will be if hundreds of Dementors riot, right?"
"But it was urgent, wasn't it?" Minister Fudge was slightly tougher, "I think Blake is always more dangerous than the Dementors.
Remember thirteen years ago?
He blew up a street with a spell.
At the time, I was the undersecretary of the Ministry of Magical Calamity, and after Blake had killed so many people, I was among the first to arrive on the scene.
I'll never forget that scene. Sometimes I dream about it.
There was a big crater in the middle of the street, so deep that it broke the sewer pipe underneath. There were corpses everywhere. The Muggles screamed.
And Blake stood there laughing maniacally, the wreckage of Peter Pettigrew right in front of him...... A pile of bloodstained robes and few fragments. ”
"Black has been squatting in Azkaban for so long, but he is not weak, and his mana is still strong."
"Otherwise, how could you deal with so many Dementors and make them disappear for more than two hundred?
With all due respect, although it is said to be missing, I think that those Dementors have actually died honorably.
We should give the Dementors a Merlin Order of Merlin for their bravery.
And take bolder steps......"
"What measures?" Dumbledore asked calmly with his hands crossed.
"Let them return to their peak numbers as soon as possible." Fudge's eyes flickered.
"I know you don't like them, but now is the critical time and they're useful."
"We need to let go of the Dementor breeding restrictions and allow multiple births.
My personal secretary, Umbridge, calculated that it only needed twice as much. ”
"Connery, what do you think...... All I can say is very original, imaginative. Dumbledore scoffed.
"Albus, believe them once, the Dementors also have a heart that wants to be positive."
"When did they have this extravagant idea?" Dumbledore said indifferently.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to argue with you, I'll talk about it today."
Fudge sighed, stood up, and snapped the green top hat from the table to his head.
"Oh, William, we meet again."
With a warm smile on his face, Fudge opened his arms and hugged William fiercely.
Here it comes!
Secretary Fudge's unique way of showing enthusiasm was a fierce hug.
William took advantage of this opportunity and grabbed a few more hairs from him.
"William, did you hear it all?" Fudge hesitated.
"Yes, Mr. Minister, I can't believe it, I'm so shocked!" William shook his head. "Are Dementors really missing that much?"
Fudge nodded.
William clasped his hands together, forced a smile, and prayed:
"I hope people are okay!"
The minister also followed:
"Hope it's okay."
"William, this matter must not be told to others, it will cause unnecessary panic." Fudge lowered his voice.
"Understood?"
"Of course, I like Dementors and hope they reproduce soon." William laughed.
After Minister Fudge left, William sat down in his chair.
Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "A cup of coffee?" ”
"Thank you." William nodded.
The Headmaster's wand waved, and two cups of coffee appear on the table.
William looked at the rising heat and asked, "Minister Fudge let the Dementors multiply on a large scale, isn't he afraid that they will get out of control?" ”
"William, Fudge is a politician, and his first concern is not the problem of loss of control, but the problem of protection."
"Protecting the population?"
"No, it's to convince people that they're protected." Dumbledore said.
"But Dementors are evil creatures, and they thrive by sucking happy memories."
"The Ministry of Magic doesn't care about good and evil, it only cares about rule and chaos." Dumbledore took a sip of his coffee.
He said contemptuously, "They don't mind cooperating with dark creatures for their purpose. ”
"Come on, William, let's talk about last night, where did you and Hermione go?"
"Room of Responsiveness."
"Of course, I thought of that place." Dumbledore's tone was calm, as if he had expected it.
William was quick to recount his experience yesterday before the Room of Requirement. Especially the problem of the inner ghost.
Dumbledore closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said:
"William, can you keep an eye on Ron for me?"
"Professor, did you notice Ron's anomaly too?" William frowned, "Yesterday's incident doesn't look like he'll do it at all." ”
A photo of Professor Snape's women's clothes is sold at the entrance of the Slytherin common room...... Would Ron really dare to do such a thing?
He may have thought to himself, but he never dared to do so.
"Did he fall under the Inner Demon's Imperius Curse?" William asked.
"It's not a Imperius curse...... It's not that serious. Dumbledore explained:
"It should be some little trick to inspire Ron's courage and make him arrogant."
"Sounds a lot like a lot of taking a blessing elixir." William frowned.
After taking a large amount of elixir, the characteristics of blind arrogance will appear, and you will do something that you want to do in your heart, but you dare not do.
The catalytic effect is similar to that of alcohol, after all, wine is intimidating.
And this kind of inducing magic is not as obvious as the Imperius Curse, and it is impossible to detect it afterwards.
Even Ron himself will only be annoyed by yesterday's behavior, but he will not have the slightest feeling of being manipulated.
Because going to Slytherin House to sell photos is what he thinks in his heart, but he has never dared to do it!
So the question is, why does the inner ghost have to stare at Ron, and what is special about him?
While Ron had the journal, the inner ghost struck up a conversation with Tom.
And this time, the inner ghost found Ron again.
At the very least, he was by Ron's side, and he knew him well, even to the point of knowing Ron's inner thoughts.
I get along with Ron every day, and I am very familiar with him...... William felt that he was about to find out who the inner ghost was.
There was a little bit of inspiration.
Wait a minute...... Perfect fit for this,
Isn't that Harry?!
So, Harry Potter is Tom Riddle's inner ghost?
