Chapter 148: The Stage
The sun in the castle is still bright, and the crowd is quite lively.
Outside a small dark room in the castle, the students were following the open door of the small room to look at the group of people inside.
"It can't really be Filch, right?"
Among the onlookers outside, Harry saw this and asked Neville beside him a little uncertainly.
Neville shook his head, "I don't know." But it doesn't seem to have much to do with us. ”
"But they're going to take Filch and Dumbledore with them! Forget about taking Filch away, does this matter have anything to do with Dumbledore! ”
Harry thought it was a ridiculous joke! Could it be that the people at the Ministry of Magic thought that Dumbledore had instructed Filch to do this? How could it be! Dumbledore and Malfoy had no grudges in the past, and no grudges in the present.
Even if Malfoy really offended Dumbledore in something that everyone didn't know, he would just have to deduct points directly! No matter how bad it is, it's good to do it yourself, you really can't do it without Filch!
No matter how you look at it, it's not next to each other.
"I didn't! I really don't! ”
Filch sat in his chair and shouted with a pale face, holding Lady Loris in his arms, because she was so nervous that she was strangled by him until she was almost out of breath. He wasn't even aware of it.
A tall young man with seaweed-like hair, triangular eyes, dry and white lips, and a cruel smile on his face walked in this small office.
chains, soldering irons, leather whips, hemp ropes......
His long, thin fingers lightly touched the chain hanging from the ceiling, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little brighter: "Connoisseur! Mr. Filch, the quality of your torture equipment is really good! ”
Looking at the oil sticking to his fingers, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, you are also very careful in maintenance, it seems that neither of us will be bored on the way back." ”
"Nope! These things are not mine! They, they're just left over from the previous castle keeper, and they have nothing to do with me! ”
Filch panicked, his eyes swirling.
The man didn't even look at him more, but silently looked at the torture instruments, as if he were strolling through the Louvre and admiring the art treasures.
Standing at the door, a tall, short-haired man looked at the onlookers outside, and then at the watch on his wrist: "When will Kings get it done over there?" If we don't set off, when we return to the ministry, we won't be able to catch lunch. ”
"Then you can make do with the Hogwarts cafeteria, haven't you eaten in the school cafeteria for so many years, don't you miss it?"
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he shook his head and said, "I forgot that you are not a Hogwarts student either. ”
"Kings is here, if he wants to stay and miss his youth, let's go first." The short-haired man said coldly, "It's not a department anyway." ”
Hearing this, the thin young man immediately sneered and said, "Then you want to bet on yourself...... Escorting Professor Dumbledore to the Ministry? ”

The tall man was instantly dumbfounded and didn't say a word.
Filch looked at the two people who were chatting, and he was not valued at all, and he was even more sad for a while. Tears swirled hard in his eyes and almost fell.
"So I've worked hard for you today, Kings."
Dumbledore disposed of the last document in his hand and spoke to Kings.
Kings looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes full of helplessness.
Professor McGonagall frowned, standing beside Dumbledore, and seeing that Dumbledore seemed to be ready to get up, she still couldn't hold back the urge to say something, so she spoke.
"Albus, this matter is very problematic, I don't believe that this is something that Argus can do, and I don't believe that this matter can be implicated in you with reasonable evidence."
Professor McGonagall was already tactful. But the meaning of the expression is also very clear, this is obviously an extremely crude frame-up, why do you still have to follow the other party's train of thought?
One by one, the portraits of the principals opened their sleepy eyes, or rather, pretended to be sleepy.
The atmosphere in front of them made them look forward to it.
They had been trapped in the frame for too long, and when Dumbledore was younger, he was still a little more lively, but after all these years, Dumbledore was also old. I'm almost on the wall to accompany them. So they're also looking forward to, expecting something more dynamic.
"Minerva. During the time I'm away, the safety of the school is in your hands. ”
Dumbledore didn't seem to have the idea of answering Professor McGonagall's question. He just smiled softly, and in the contrast between that smile and the sunlight that was shining in the office, Professor McGonagall and Kingsley actually sensed a hint of death.
The hearts of the two of them were in a hurry. Neither of them knew what it was, so Dumbledore suddenly had such an idea.
"Come on, Kings! What the hell is going on?! ”
Professor McGonagall looked at Kingsley Shackle, puzzled.
"Not so, Professor." After coming, before he even had time to explain the situation, Kings, who was asked by Dumbledore to watch quietly as he dealt with the official documents, seemed to have finally found a chance to speak.
"It's not really serious, but Lucius is urging a serious inquiry. He saw it as a shameful attack on the nobility by Squibs and other groups. For this reason, he even brought in people from several other twenty-eight families to put pressure on Fudge. ”
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall said with a cold face, "I think Fudge must have not lasted long before they convinced." ”
Kings frowned, then nodded helplessly.
"This ...... Actually, it's not hard to understand. After all, Dumbledore didn't mean to hold the Ministry of Magic in his hands. Fudge may have finally discovered that a few years ago, he was a little, too cautious. ”
If he could, Kingsley naturally wanted to embellish his boss. Obviously, though, this has little effect.
"I think it's better for him to be cautious, the ministers who have been close to the nobles, and in the end there are few who don't become puppets of the nobles."

Professor McGonagall was so angry that she didn't think much of it when she spoke.
It was hard to see any red on Kingsley's swarthy face.
"Don't say that, Minerva, Kings is also from the Twenty-Eight Family."
Dumbledore reminded with a smile on his face. Then Professor McGonagall reacted, but then shook her head helplessly and said, "It's not just Kings." ”
None of the people who taught at Hogwarts came from a noble background. Snape's mother was an aristocrat, but Snape himself was a half-breed who was not recognized by the aristocracy.
And among the errand men in the Ministry of Magic, there are few official positions that are not controlled by nobles. Fudge is the minister who picked it up, and it was supposed to be Barty Crouch's originally.
Another twenty-eight.
I don't know why, Professor McGonagall suddenly thought of Luke, this kid, if he really wanted, would he have a chance to become a candidate for the Minister of Magic easily?
Looking at Kings' somewhat embarrassed face, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kings, I'm also from a little noble." ”
Kings shook his head a little embarrassed.
Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall and Gins, who were still a little puzzled and embarrassed, shook his head and explained, "Even if it wasn't for this incident, I would have to find a reason to leave the school for a while." ”
"Why?!" Professor McGonagall was even more puzzled.
"Because the current stage doesn't need me for the time being. I've been on stage for so long, but it's not for my own performance! ”
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore with a sharp look in his eyes, as if he had gone through the years and returned to the time when he was young, energetic, and always confident.
But the next moment, she felt like she had seen an elderly Luke.
Damn it...... Did the Dumbledores and the Gaunts intermarry?
Professor McGonagall did want to ask something, but seeing that Dumbledore and Luke looked the same, she was not interested in asking.
"The Sword Comes"
"You always have your point anyway! I don't care! ”
Professor McGonagall was about to walk out in a huff, but as the two watched, she stopped without taking two steps, and walked to Dumbledore's desk with a dark face.
Pick up two stacks of papers and walk out again. In a moment, the sound of the door being slammed shut was heard.
"Professor McGonagall, what's wrong?"
Kings asked, a little confused.
Dumbledore was only amused: "Maybe it's because he saw me and thought of some little guy." ”
Kings' face changed instantly, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"Not what you think."
Dumbledore said helplessly, but didn't say anything more.
Then he muttered for a moment, and just as Kings thought Dumbledore had discovered some hole in his plan, he spoke.
"Kings, nobles, what do you think of Luke Gaunt?"
Kingsley fell silent when faced with this question, which was a little abrupt but somewhat sticky to the topic just now. It seems to be hesitating, and there is as if it is thinking.

Dumbledore didn't rush, just waited quietly.
For a long time, Kingsley opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
"You are the legendary Mr. Gaunt! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! ”
The thin young man stepped forward and took Luke's hand, and said with a smile on his face.
The expression on his face made Filch, who had been worried all morning, fall into confusion.
'Is this really the guy who terrorized me just now?' ’
Filch couldn't help but ask in the bottom of his mind. At the same time, the tension faded for a moment, and the strength of his hand loosened a little, and then Mrs. Loris seized the opportunity to jump out of his arms, arched her back, and screamed viciously at Filch, as if she wanted to give Filch two big fights.
But in the end, she lay down beside Filch, and watched the two men at the door warily, as if she was watching out for what they might do suddenly.
But now, in the eyes of those two Ministry of Magic staff, how can this one squib and a cat be worth as much as the opportunity to say a few words to Luke?
"Hello, Mr. Gaunt, Graf Jorio, I've heard your story for a long time, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you this time."
The tall, short-haired man followed, holding out his hand to Luke with a solemn face.
Luke took the opportunity to quickly withdraw his hand from the skeletal and said, "Hello, Mr. Jorio. ”
The two shook hands, and then let go in a measured manner.
"The Jolio family is looking forward to your story in the future. I sincerely wish you to leave a legacy in our world once again. ”
Graf Jolio spoke very sincerely.
But before Luke could respond, the wizened young man spoke again, "I, and I, I'm Dora Carney, and I'm looking forward to your future story." ”
After saying that, he also glanced at his companion defiantly.
But this time, he was surprised to find that Graff, who was supposed to argue with him, ignored him at all, and instead bowed quietly and saluted the 11-year-old child in front of him.
"Please get up, you two, it's a private occasion today, and it's no more restrained."
Luke had a decent smile on his face. But the so-called decency is still a feeling of being superior.
The younger students still feel that Luke is cool, while the older students feel envious and some feel depressed.
"Hey! Ron, don't you often say that you and Luke are both great nobles? Why didn't those two guys salute when they saw you? ”
Seamus looked at the picture in front of him on the painting that looked like a monarch receiving his courtiers, and asked, half jokingly, half confused.
Ron's face, which was already a little red from running, instantly turned three points redder.
"This ...... No, there is a reason, you don't understand, I won't tell you, if you understand a little, you won't ask such a boring question, you are very boring to ask......"
Ron babbled on and on, and there was no point throughout.
Seamus was stunned by his toss. Neville, on the other hand, shook his head silently and said, "It's different." The Gaunt family is a special existence in itself. ”

What's more, now Luke's reputation has spread partially. Although there are good and bad, it is definitely not obscure. ”
Recalling the things about Luke that his grandmother sometimes asked about in his letters, Neville spoke earnestly.
Seamus looked at Neville beside him, and then remembered that Neville had also said that he was also one of the so-called great nobles.
Looking at the two people next to him and Luke over there, Seamus fell into confusion for a while.
Is the gap really that big?
