Chapter 288: Hogwarts History of Magic (39)
After a pause, Phyllis continued, "However, this does not mean that the Death Eaters will spare Harry Potter, that boy directly caused the 'death' of the Dark Lord, causing the riot they set off in its heyday. Whether it was out of revenge or to undermine the confidence of those who resisted, they had a reason to kill Harry Potter. ”
"It's not going to be easy." "Harry Potter now lives at Hogwarts Castle, which is considered the safest place in the wizarding world in England. ”
At the end, Karl's tone was a little strange, with a hint of dissatisfaction and a little self-deprecation. The light of Hogwarts is too bright to be a good thing for the Ministry of Magic.
"I don't know how you understand it." Phyllis looked indifferent, "In my opinion, the reason why Hogwarts has such an unworthy title is mainly because of Dumbledore, or to be precise, Dumbledore's performance in the riot set off by Voldemort. ”
Having taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for six years and lived in the castle for six years, Phyllis knew very well that Hogwarts was far from being as invulnerable as the newspapers and magazines said it were, and that would not have been the case for so much mess.
The reason why it has a title of "safest" is mainly because when Voldemort's riot ravaged the entire British wizarding world, everything was invincible, only Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, because of Dumbledore, the Dark Lord did not dare to provoke easily, and never dared to attack Hogwarts. In that particular era, in a certain environment, Hogwarts can indeed be called "the safest".
The so-called "safest", to be precise, means "not to fall", in fact, it is not uncommon for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to have casualties due to experimental accidents, accidents, and righteous conflicts. Magic is always a formidable force, and it can be dangerous for beginners.
"Dumbledore is strong enough to dispel any pretender." Karl said, with advice in his tone. Phyllis hadn't experienced that era, she hadn't seen Dumbledore's power with her own eyes, it was a kind of helpless power.
"What if he's gone?"
"Impossible!" Karl flatly denied it, saying, "No one can kill ......"
"I mean, Dumbledore is temporarily away from Hogwarts for some business." "As far as I know, he holds positions in a number of important associations and organizations, and often travels to the UK and even Europe for conferences. ”
"This ......"
"I think Harry Potter will be in danger when Dumbledore leaves Hogwarts." Phyllis reasoned, "By the way, are there any recent meetings that Dumbledore has to attend?" ”
"Let me see." Carl took out a notebook and flipped through the contents, "There was a recent meeting of the British Ministry of Magic on dragon breeding, and Dumbledore has agreed to attend. ”
"When was it?"
"On the thirteenth of this month, four days later, the meeting will be held in the Central Hall of Westminster in London."
"This day?" Phyllis frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Carl asked.
"November 13 is the day when Gryffindor and Slytherin play Quidditch."
……
Will Quirrell, or Tom, do it on the day of the Quidditch match between Thirteen, Gryffindor and Slytherin?
After finishing the call with Carl, Phyllis took out a piece of manuscript paper and spread it on the table, analyzing the current situation.
First of all, did Tom know that Dumbledore was going to London for a meeting that day?
The technology of the wizarding world is not developed, especially in civilian technology, which is far from the level of information explosion of ordinary people. This level of media, coupled with the fact that it is not a particularly important meeting, will not be reported in the wizarding media at all.
That's the question just now, did Tom know that Dumbledore was going to London for a meeting that day?
If you don't know, you don't have to say anything.
But what if you know? Where did Tom find out?
It's unlikely that Hogwarts will be here, and unless Dumbledore speaks out, the only one who knows his agenda is Professor McGonagall, the Deputy Headmaster. That stern female professor had nothing to do with the Death Eaters.
If it was known from the Ministry of Magic, which held the conference, it means that even after more than a decade of losing power, Voldemort still has many loyal fans, and these supporters are still in high positions.
This is not good news.
The first problem is solved, and the second question comes, assuming that Tom knows that on the day of the thirteenth, Dumbledore will leave Hogwarts, will he do it?
Yes. The answer to this question is relatively straightforward.
If so, when?
It's a real headache. Harry Potter lived a communal life at Hogwarts, whether it was sleeping at night, getting up in the morning, eating, and attending classes...... There will be a large group of students around, and it will be really difficult to get started.
Phyllis checked one thing after another in her mind, and in comparison, the most suitable time to do it was actually on the Quidditch pitch.
