Chapter 135: Unexpected Circumstances
Under Luke's deliberate blockade, the news was not leaked much. But it is really difficult to keep such news secret in front of people with intentions in this almost unguarded school.
"Master, they want to transfer that dragon. What should we do now? ”
Quirrell looked a little flustered, and the situation in front of him was that no matter what choice they made, the situation in front of them seemed to be not optimistic. Their original intention was to wait until the dragon grew up, and then stab the matter directly to the Ministry of Magic, just like what happened back then, no matter how the other party responded, the school side would fall into chaos.
But the current situation is that if they stab the Ministry of Magic now, it will be too late, and their strength has not yet recovered to the peak, and it may be a little dangerous to break through the passage that has been set up by many professors.
Those spells seem unremarkable, as if a few children can break through if they cooperate tacitly. But in reality, the danger is not too low. Now if they want to pass without injury, it will take a lot of thought.
And if the other party is allowed to act, it is equivalent to the original plan being stillborn. It's very unwilling. But if they try to stop each other's plans, they will shift the suspicion back to themselves. With layers of covering, Hogwarts now looks to some people like a gift wrapped in multiple gift boxes.
No one knows what the 'surprise' inside is.
And in his mind, Voldemort was silent for a long, long time. It's like thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a teenager smiling shallowly at him and said, "Now it's your turn to make a move." ”
Harry Potter...... I am worthy of the person who ruined my great business with his cleverness.
In his mind, everything they found was related to Harry Potter and Ron Weiss.
Naturally, it was surmised that Harry Potter was the leader of the operation, and Ron Weiss was the assistant of the operation.
Luke Gaunt...... At first, I thought he was some kind of good person, maybe he could be a good enough servant or container. Although his surname is really a bit awkward. ”
Voldemort spoke in Quirrell's mind with emotion.
Quirrell was a little blind, he didn't think why the topic had suddenly changed to this. But the most crucial thing he learned from such a long time together was not to interrupt his master when he sighed.
"But I didn't expect that even the Gaunt family, the Harry Potter people, would have to bow down. Harry, it seems, ...... This is indeed an opponent worthy of my seriousness. ”
Quirrell, intellectually, felt that Voldemort was thinking a little too much. After all, judging from the current situation, Harry Potter is the most famous 'savior' in the entire wizarding world. If you really have the heart to make money, fame and fortune will not be a problem in an instant, it can be said that from that night, even if he is a baby, it is also a pivotal task in the wizarding world, and now as he grows up, there will only be more people who expect him.
Especially when the news of Voldemort's resurgence spread, such a scene, at that time, how strong the expectations of Harry Potter were, he could already predict.
But the premise of all this is...... The face on the back of his head had to have a real body......
"Leave the other party alone. Keep an eye on each other's whereabouts and tell McGonagall their whereabouts in a covert way...... Let them be locked up. ”
Voldemort was silent for a moment, then said with a sneer.
Quirrell looked puzzled, "Isn't it of much use to do this?" ”
Confinement? Quirrell wanted to laugh. If you keep the professors in school shut them up, what other benefits does that do they do more than do a bit of physical labor?
Whole root child revenge like ...... If you want to say that this little guy from the Malfoy family came up with a solution, he believed it.
"Heh, in the face of such a situation, McGonagall basically would not make the choice of confining them by herself in order to avoid suspicion. After that, Hagrid, who is directly related to this matter, is likely to take the initiative to ask them to come along, and all the teachers are staring at the Forbidden Forest, and it is also a good choice to throw the two of them into the Forbidden Forest as bait. ”
"They went into the Forbidden Forest as bait, most likely to lure us out."
Quirrell was even more confused when he heard this: "Then do you still want to create a chance for them!?" ”
Is there any difference in this self-casting net?
"They...... Want to catch me too? Hahaha! ”
Voldemort's hoarse laughter rang out in his head, but Quirrell knew he couldn't talk nonsense at this time. Are you questioning the strength of the great Voldemort? The reason why he didn't flip the table was just because he didn't want to, not because he didn't have the strength!
Please keep that in mind...... Otherwise, as a carrier, you are likely to receive a very severe 'punishment'.
"That'...... That's what I did. ”
Quirrell spoke, with a persuasive tone in his tone, as if he wanted to convince himself.
……
"The plan is too crude." Taylor stared into Luke's eyes and said straight to the point. Hermione beside her also had a thoughtful expression.
"Hagrid's dragon is of unknown origin, a man with a fire dragon egg with him, do you believe there is such a person? Bring prohibited items with you. Taylor looked at Luke, who was silent, and said with a serious face: "This is obviously a conspiracy, and the other party has exchanged the fire dragon egg for the information he wants, but this does not mean that the conspiracy entangled in the fire dragon is over." ”
Luke looked at a stern-looking Taylor with a smile. It can be seen that Taylor is not angry, she is very calm, there is doubt in her eyes, but there is no doubt.
"The fire dragon is a contraband, if this thing is found by my relevant departments, then our energy will be involved, because in the matter of the Forbidden Forest, our relationship with Hagrid is already very good, if we give up Hagrid, it is to give up the efforts of this time. If you don't give up on Hagrid, then you will have to put your energy into it. ”
It's not that he doesn't trust Dumbledore's abilities, but that once Dumbledore is involved, the complexity will only rise indefinitely.
Because a lot of people don't trust him. The officials of the Ministry of Magic, in particular, relied on Dumbledore's extraordinary prowess. But they were worried that Dumbledore would not get up for the moment and take away all their rights.
They were convinced that Dumbledore had such strength. They also believe that no one can be truly indifferent in the face of power. Because it's completely impossible for them to do it themselves.
Imagine the Chinese network
So they were always trembling, guarding Dumbledore's every move. One of the funniest things Luke had heard from Lance Sr. was that during a meeting, Dumbledore interrupted a young man who was giving his opinion.
Although Dumbledore made it clear that it was just an accident. But the issue, which was in everyone's interest, did not pass in the end. Even the young man himself voted against his own issue.
And that young man was one of Cornelius Fudge's henchmen. Since then, Fudge has consulted Dumbledore in real time, although it is still a matter of small matter. But I'm already trying to make my own decisions on some things.
Dumbledore didn't think this was a bad thing, so he naturally let it go. In this way, Fudge did make more and more decisions on his own, but the contradiction between him and Dumbledore was getting bigger and bigger.
He sticks to his bottom line, and there's no reason why he should never set foot in Hogwarts. He thought that was the worst Dumbledore could accept.
But...... Is a place where almost all wizards in the whole of Britain have been nurtured, really a place that can be abandoned casually?
As long as you become the administrator here, then the vast majority of British wizards have a relationship with you. Sometimes when you can't put on the posture of the boss, you can raise the posture of the elders.
Seriously, Luke doesn't even know how Fudge endured until now.
Once this reason is really given, then things will go in a very bad direction.
Cornelius Fudge may not be a very good Minister of Magic, but he is definitely not a very bad Minister of Magic. There is no shortage of achievements.
Of course, it's also possible that the subordinates are working hard enough.
In short, Luke felt, in Dumbledore's conventional words. If this really happened, then he would definitely achieve his wish in a rather roundabout way, thinking about it from another perspective, Luke felt that if it were him, he would have a bloodline by his side that could have a certain impact on the Ministry of Magic. In this kind of thing, many people are willing to give a face. And those who have something to do with this matter, and those who have the handle in their hands, will definitely use it.
After all, if you bring Ying, you can use it until you die.
Luke thought about it with his toes and knew that there was a high probability that this matter would fall on him in the end, and there was no suspense at this point.
So he'd better not get himself in trouble. This point in time when the arm can't twist the thigh gives Dumbledore a lot of trouble, even if it makes less trouble for himself.
"But what does that have to do with the simplicity of your plan?"
"Because this plan is for the other party to destroy...... Luke replied calmly, "if the other party is smart enough, then he will be faced with two choices, one is to plan ahead and poke things before we do it." ”
"But it's too late to do that. The efficiency of the Ministry of Magic, even if it is high, must also take into account Dumbledore, I don't know if the current Fudge is ready to tear his face with Dumbledore. There is a high probability that there is none. ”
Because nothing like this has happened at Hogwarts now. Dumbledore's power and majesty were suspected, and it was the Basilisk incident that caused a stir in the next school year, and everyone felt that something was wrong with Hogwarts, which shook Dumbledore's prestige.
"So this trick actually doesn't work."
Naturally, Luke said this by coveting the status quo of things. Voldemort's idea presents a different situation, naturally because of their different experiences. Voldemort didn't think the old man had any reason to make the Minister of Magic fearful. After all, he knew Dumbledore, and he was the kind of person who could give up a lot when necessary for the sake of rules.
As long as it's not forced to some extent, then Dumbledore is the first guardian of the rules.
Voldemort was based on this idea, and he did not think that the Minister of Magic, who was the maker and enforcer of the rules, should be afraid of Dumbledore. Respect is fine, but fear is really completely unnecessary.
You can even use this to bully him.
"So in fact, as long as the other party is smart enough, then there is actually only one choice that can be made." Luke looked at Taylor and Hermione with a look of understanding on their faces and smiled, "He's just going to stop our plan and let the main of us go to confinement." ”
"Confinement ......"
Hermione subconsciously wanted to refute this idea that sounded too childish, but when she saw the slightly meaningful smile on Luke's face, she knew it wasn't nonsense.
So she lowered her head again and pondered.
After a moment, both of them looked up at Luke as if they had both figured it out.
"Or Hagrid?" Taylor asked tentatively.
Hermione didn't speak, but looking at her eyes, she should have answered the same.
Luke gave a round of applause without hesitation.
With a twinkle in his eyes, Luke said, "You two keep it up, it's impossible not to care about this kind of thing for the rest of your life." Otherwise, I don't know how many people will play it. ”
"Then I think the first thing we need to be careful about is your ......"
Hermione complained mercilessly, "You're the most dangerous spider around." ”
Although he said this, everyone could hear that it was just a little whining and complaining.
But Luke didn't refute, just smiled and didn't answer.
Fortunately, everyone didn't care.
"Then the details you released before are also misleading others. One thinks Harry and Ron are the ones in charge. ”
Hermione hesitated and glanced at Luke, but said, "So there will be no danger to the two of them." ”
Luke nodded, "Yes, but it's manageable." Rest assured. ”
Luke didn't explain why, because that was enough.
He had no idea of lying in front of the two of them for the time being.
Taylor looked at Luke with no expression on his face. But she knew one thing very well, Luke only explained the other party's intentions, but still did not explain his own operation in it.
Could it be that Luke just used this trick to send Hagrid's fire dragon out and cut off his own possible troubles?
Taylor doesn't think so.
But I'm not going to ask...... There are only two days left to gather the total.
