0307 Defenders
With a "poof", the illusion that Ani had just hatched scattered into a silver glow, and the smiles on their faces faded along with the light.
Then comes the biggest headache.
"Albus, what are you going to do with **** Loth?"
In the end, what should be faced is still to be faced.
This Ravenclaw sophomore is very similar to Quirrell, with good talent, a little narcissism, a little low self-esteem, and a little social phobia, and a very contradictory child.
And, of course, there's the common Ravenclaw problem – extreme curiosity.
For Voldemort, it was not difficult to seduce such a child.
"Wait a moment, Aini. I think Minerva is coming soon."
Dumbledore didn't rush to make a decision, he needed to know what role Pross played in this incident, whether it was a marionette who couldn't help himself, or a wolf cub who unchained him.
Just before Ani condensed Tran's vision, he had already informed Professor McGonagall with the Patronus, asking a young wizard how long it would take.
Things are often unpredictable, and someone comes to talk about it, but it's not the person they're waiting for.
"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I'm late."
Hagrid squeezed in through the doorway, the dirt and grass clippings from his clothes gargling and drawing two arcs on the ground. The weather was getting colder, and with the help of Professor Sprout, Hagrid built a few greenhouses for vegetables, and he would dive into them whenever he could.
"Uh, clean up."
The big man was embarrassed and pulled out his wand and cleaned the dirt from the ground.
"It's not too late, Hagrid, you're just in time."
Dumbledore waved his hand, he had long been accustomed to Hagrid occasionally disconnecting, but this time was different, the storm was coming, and if he didn't want to be overwhelmed by the waves, he had to prepare in advance.
For example, a few large creatures in the Forbidden Forest, although there is Sylvie, outsiders will be dizzy if they can't walk a few steps inside, but whether it is Nobeta or Luwe, it is too loud to spread joy.
Especially since he helped Professor Sprout cultivate aconitum, with the racial talent of dogs, Lu Wei will run to coquettish and make a tooth sacrifice from time to time, although what appears in front of the little wizard is only a puppy that has always seemed cute, but the children can't see through it, and it doesn't mean that the investigators of the Ministry of Magic can't either.
Now is different from the past, and exposing these ancient species will undoubtedly make Hogwarts further on the cusp of public opinion, and if it falls, it will inevitably be swept away by the tide.
At this critical moment when people's hearts are turned back, even Dumbledore had to have some scruples and gave an important explanation to Hagrid.
Hagrid's personality was undoubtedly excellent for anyone who wanted to get along with him genuinely, at least at the moment two of the three people in the room thought so.
However, they were also certain that Hagrid was undoubtedly the easiest point to be caught by the Ministry of Magic investigators with ulterior motives.
By the time the attack was over, the parents of those children, no matter what kind of background they had, what kind of feelings they had for Hogwarts and Dumbledore, whether they were celebrities, patriarchs, Aurors or other identities, they would return to the most original position in the human race - father and mother.
….
At that time, any bit of public opinion guidance could touch their most sensitive nerves, and if large-scale excesses were triggered, everything would never go back to the past.
You know, it's not just hatred that turns people away from each other, but guilt can often form a more powerful repulsion.
When the public opinion against Hogwarts is in the dust, even if things turn around in the future, the attitude of those keyboard heroes will become quite intriguing.
The exodus of students is almost inevitable.
With the centrifugal betrayal of these Hogwarts bases, the contract system in the castle will slowly decay and collapse under the vicious circle.
For a while, the two people in the room were in mixed moods, even if they remedied it afterwards, the black hands all over Britain would not sit idly by.
In fact, not only in England, nominally Dumbledore is the strongest in the wizarding world
has gained too much praise and face-to-face friendship, but secretly God knows how many people want to move this mountain of coercion.
Now is not the time of the chaos of the ancient parties, infighting is not a compliment, but looking at the blue star, most of the resources useful to wizards are in the hands of their own people, and the outside world lacks enough benefits to ask for it, so it can only be sought inside.
Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Durmstrand, Ilvermorny ......, each prestigious school of magic and wizardry is a deep-rooted circle of interests, none of which are easy to get along with, maybe there were, but they have long been eaten and wiped clean in thousands of years, and there are no bones left.
As Hagrid walked out of the Headmaster's office in a daze, Dumbledore began to wonder if he had been in such a hurry that he was now in an embarrassment with Hogwarts.
If it was just this attack, Dumbledore, with his prestige over the years, could easily suppress the negative impact, and the parents would like to believe that it was just a coincidence.
Like the petrified students two years ago, with the trial of Lockhart, there were no waves at all.
But there are no bright waves, but there are undercurrents.
Hogwarts has not stopped in recent years, but before the time came, the enemy chose not to trigger it, allowing the seeds of doubt to slowly germinate, and now it is finally time to see the dagger.
The fuse that was ignited from the trolls' invasion of the campus is also about to burn to the end.
Whether the gunpowder is detonated and shattered, or the fire is extinguished and returned to nothing, depends on Hogwarts' response and the result of the subsequent wrestling.
Dumbledore took a few steps and reached out to touch the perch where the phoenix had once been stationed, and a flash of remembrance and nostalgia flashed in his eyes, but then Ani saw a raging flame in the old man's eyes that he had never seen before.
A fighting flame.
Fawkes was originally entrusted to Ani on his own initiative, and now that the two are close, he is happy to see it happen, but the thoughts of the forerunners entrusted by this ancient castle are the harbor that has warmed him for nearly a hundred years, and no one can destroy this place in his own hands!
No one!
Anyone!
The momentum that had been converging for a long time rose, and the magic that wandered within the boundaries of Hogwarts all took on a subtle aura, restless and excited, as if celebrating the return of the old king.
Ani quietly witnessed this moment, the awakening of a sleeping dragon.
In the last second, he was an old man who was worried about his students, an old man with little arrogance and approachability.
At this moment, he is the greatest white wizard of our time, the strongest in the wizarding world that no one has dared to challenge for decades, Albus Percival Woolfrick Brian Dumbledore, an angry defender!
