Chapter 187: The Wheel of History! Rolling in the ditch!!
It was soon evening, and the students had their own activities after dinner.
Zhang Xu's professor's dormitory was requisitioned by Furong tonight, and she invited a group of female students to a party tonight.
Zhang Xu, who was just about to go back to the Eagle Academy dormitory to tidy up his bedding, received a note from Dumbledore through a thousand paper cranes, asking him to go to the headmaster's office.
Looking at the note, Zhang Xu smiled and shook his head, he originally planned to go to Dumbledore tomorrow morning, but Dumbledore found him first.
As soon as Zhang Xu sat down, Dumbledore smiled and said to him, "I have good news for you, Zhang." β
Zhang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "On the contrary, I have bad news for you, Professor Dumbledore. β
Dumbledore frowned, Zhang Xu had never said any bad news, which showed that this news was a little extraordinary.
"Let's hear the good news first." Dumbledore poured tea for himself and Zhang Xu as he said, "I've found clues to Voldemort's other two Horcruxes, and now it's certain that the Hufflepuff Gold Cup and the Slytherin Locket are likely to be placed in Gringotts and a place of great significance to Voldemort, respectively. β
Zhang Xu nodded when he heard this.
Dumbledore's abilities were among the best in the British wizarding world, and if he was given an idea, he could quickly get things into perspective.
"Hufflepuff's Gold Cup should be in Bellatrix Lestrange's vault inside Gringotts. The Slytherin locket was placed in a cave that Voldemort had visited as a child. Dumbledore said.
"Bellatrix Lestrange was Voldemort's most loyal subordinate, and Voldemort gave her the Golden Cup for safekeeping."
"I was standing in front of Bellatrix Lestrange's vault when the Horcrux probe reacted. It has to be said that Miss Tumanova's alchemy level is very high. β
With that, Dumbledore placed a Horcrux probe on the table.
"The problem now is how to get the gold cup out of Bellatrix Lestrange's vault, and the goblins of Gringotts are very brainless at times." Dumbledore said.
"I'll take care of that." Zhang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll ask the Dementors of Azkaban to help and ask Bellatrix Lestrange to write a power of attorney to her cousin Sirius Black, so that Black can legally open Bellatrix Lestrange's vault." β
Let the Dementors stop her supply of food additives for a few days, and then let her write a letter of authorization for Blake's Gringotts vault, and let her write a love letter to Blake.
Dumbledore knew that Zhang Xu was hooking up with the Dementors, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement.
Then Dumbledore said to Zhang Xu, "Zhang, are you interested in accompanying my bad old man on an adventure tonight?" Of course, an adventure with me is not as wonderful as an adventure with the beautiful Miss Delacour. β
After Dumbledore finished speaking, he winked at Zhang Xu slyly.
"If we're looking for a Slytherin locket, I think we can take Harry." Zhang Xu suggested.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded, agreeing to Zhang Xu's suggestion.
"Before we go on an adventure, I think we'll have to talk about how to get rid of the hidden dangers in Hogwarts." Zhang Xu opened the map and handed it to Dumbledore.
"It's so lively in your dorm room." Dumbledore teased Zhang Xu while looking at the map of the living spots.
Immediately after, Dumbledore's expression suddenly became serious, and then his face became darker and darker.
"Professor Snape told me last night that someone had stolen potions from his office, so I took them out and took a look, because no one would steal them and make potions in the common room or dorm room." Zhang Xu said, "As a result, I found him. β
"Percy Weasley told us that Mr. Barty Crouch had been ill for a long time, and I think it had something to do with his presence." Zhang Xu continued, "Maybe Voldemort is hiding in Mr. Crouch's house right now. β
"He should have died in Azkaban." Dumbledore said in a deep voice.
"As far as I know, Mr. Crouch took his wife with him to visit his son in Azkaban before he died." Zhang Xu said, "If they had used compound decoction at that time......
The first time Zhang Xu saw Dumbledore's face turn black like this.
A few years ago, he had already put a lot of pressure on a crook to come to Hogwarts as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and now he had replaced it with a Death Eater who should have died in Azkaban to be a professor, which was tantamount to putting Dumbledore in a pressure cooker that was in dire straits.
"Then we'll deal with him now." Dumbledore said.
"I don't recommend it." Zhang Xu said.
"First of all, we now have clues about Voldemort's location, and if we hastily attack Barty Crouch Jr., Voldemort will most likely be notified to flee."
"Secondly, I gave Professor Snape some potions last night to catch the thief, and when he takes the polyjuice potion with this potion, his combat effectiveness will drop dramatically, and he will not be a threat to the students."
"So my advice is to teach you to prepare for Voldemort's capture before Barty Jr. takes the spiced polyjuice potion."
"After Barty Jr. drank that polyjuice potion, a small part of the force came to capture Barty Jr., and most of the power went to round up Voldemort."
"In the meantime, let's get rid of the two Horcruxes, the Golden Cup and the Locket, first."
"Our most important task during this time is to keep Harry safe."
"I got word from Harry today that Barty Jr. got Ron's hair, so I'm worried he's going to turn into Ron and do something to Harry."
"So I suggest that tomorrow I provoke Draco Malfoy and Harry to fight, and then give Professor Snape the opportunity to protect Harry every night while punishing him."
"Professor Dumbledore, you 'accidentally' discovered Barty Jr.'s private instruction to Ron and Cedric, and then stepped in to stop it. Barty Jr. had already gotten Ron's hair, and presumably he would have agreed. β
"That way, when the curfew in the castle begins, use the live map to make sure it's Ron and not Barty Jr., and then ask Professor Snape to put Harry back in the dorm. Until Barty Jr. was disposed of. β
After Zhang Xu finished talking about his plan, he drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
Dumbledore thought for more than half an hour, and it wasn't until Zhang Xu finished eating a large piece of Battenberg cake on the table that Dumbledore made a decision.
"Having you as a Hogwarts student is perhaps the most important and correct decision I've ever made as Headmaster of Hogwarts." Dumbledore sighed and said, "I agree with your suggestion. Please inform Harry that he should come here half an hour after the curfew starts tonight. β
"I think we can get Ron and Hermione to go with us." Zhang Xu thought for a while and said.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and motioned for Zhang Xu to continue.
"Harry, Ron and Hermione have been very good friends since they fought the trolls together on Halloween night in their first year."
"In the fight against Voldemort in the future, Ron and Hermione will be Harry's most important partners and helpers."
"We've been helping Harry, but neither of us can guarantee that we'll be there for him to the end."
"Only Ron, Hermione, and Harry's other friends are Harry's solid wings."
"In the worst-case scenario, such as when you are killed, Professor, and I am forced to choose neutrality or even escape, only they can help Harry."
Zhang Xu knew that there was no danger in the cave where Voldemort put the locket, and he and Dumbledore were in front of him.

This formation can also be brushed to clear the level.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, Dumbledore said to Zhang Xu, "I agree. If you can, I think you can bring a few more people with you, and the specific person is up to you. β
Zhang Xu knew that Dumbledore was building a team for Harry.
One of the most important of these people who chose was to be of the same mind as Harry. If it was like Malfoy's, it wouldn't be possible.
Next, Zhang Xu and Dumbledore discussed the details of tonight's operation, and formulated several emergency plans.
After discussing these issues, the two relaxed and chatted.
"Zhang, are you interested in returning to Hogwarts to be Headmaster in the future?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.
Zhang Xu was stunned for a while, and the teacup in his hand almost fell off.
"In the future, I will have my career, which is worth the goal of a hundred years ago." Zhang Xu shook his head and said.
"Then you can think about it in a hundred years." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, and found that what Dumbledore said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.
In this world, as long as you don't die, the higher the magic power, the longer the lifespan.
Not to mention Dumbledore, who is now more than 110 years old, Zhao Lao in China is now more than 150 years old, and he is still alive and well, a while ago during the Spring Festival, he ran to the South Pole with a group of old guys to watch the polar day, Zhang Xu estimated that he could continue to jump to the age of two hundred, it would be no problem.
Zhang Xu knows how long he can live, and a hundred years later, he will be the same age as Dumbledore now, and it seems to be a good choice to be a headmaster for ten or twenty years.
"We'll talk about it then." Zhang Xu shook his head and said with a smile.
Seeing that the time was almost there, Zhang Xu said goodbye and left the principal's office, and began to shout through the cloud arrows.
