Dumbledore was eventually taken away. Of course, because of Dumbledore, Mr. Filch was quite honored to be treated as a special car for the Ministry of Magic, and they were not even willing to use the easy and easy mode of transportation such as Floo.

The Floo net in the principal's office is not an ornament.

"For a demonstration." Luke said to Hermione beside him, "Obviously, Fudge wants to show the others his authority. And this best prop to show authority is naturally the most powerful and authoritative person in everyone's impression. Of course, what Luke didn't say was that Dumbledore was clearly willing to cooperate with Fudge's actions.

If Fudge could start with this and gradually transform into an assertive, capable, and confident Minister of Magic, then Dumbledore would be very happy.

At least in this way, in some things, such as in the face of Voldemort, who may return, even if the two sides do not deal with each other, they can unite and fight together.

They don't hold each other back. But......

"It would be great if Fudge was really a person who could change like that." Luke shook his head, only calm in his tone.

Of course, he would not regret that if the Minister of Magic was really made by Barty Crouch, then the resistance he would have to face would be terrifying.

After all, there is a ready-made Minister of Magic as the leader, and I am afraid that Lucius can only rally closely around Minister Crouch.

The current situation is simply fantastic. Looking at the Thestrals carriage that was gradually moving away in the sky, and the students who were standing on the ground, looking at the little black dot in the sky with worried eyes.

Whether it was Harry, Ron, Neville, or even some of the Slytherin students, they all had worried looks on their faces.

As soon as Dumbledore left, for some students, it was really like losing their backbone. Of course, if there are worries, there are naturally joys.

Some of the students were overjoyed when they saw the principal leave, as if it was about to be the New Year.

Of course, their surprise didn't last long, when Professor McGonagall stepped forward and announced that she would be temporarily assuming the role of Rector and that the other professors had no objections.

Those students, who were still excited just now, instantly began to miss their kind Professor Dumbledore.

Luke looked at the crowd gathered in front of him, and looked at the scene in front of him that seemed to be unintentional and crooked, but in fact, he didn't know how many people were pushing behind him, and how many people were planning, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Looking at Quirrell's face, which still looked cowardly, but actually seemed to have made some decision, the corners of his mouth curled up in a pleasant arc, but it was fleeting.

"Let's go, something big is coming." Under the puzzled eyes of Taylor and Hermione, Luke shook off the sentence and left directly.

…… New York, Ministry of Magic

"I didn't expect you to greet me, Lucius." Dumbledore looked at the low-key but luxurious dress in front of him, his appearance was full of the mature charm of a middle-aged man, plus a little bit of nobility and mystery from his identity.

It can only be said that if Lucius is willing to be an old rascal, then it is difficult for a young girl to resist such charm.

"It's been a long time since we met, Professor Dumbledore." Lucius greeted the great White Wizard with a warmth that surprised even Dumbledore.

It was as if Dumbledore had not come to the Ministry of Magic under his impetus to be investigated, but had come to the Ministry of Magic to inspect under his push.

Looking at the hand he stretched out towards him, Dumbledore took it with a gentle face, and then said with a look of regret, "I'm sorry that Draco was injured at school because of my dereliction of duty." The smile on Lucius's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile, "It's just a minor injury, after St. Mungo's treatment, Draco is recovering well, and he hopes that his classmates can visit him every day." ”

"Oh, that's a shame, after all, students aren't allowed to go out on non-holidays. After all, after something like this, I can't do nothing. Dumbledore's face showed a look of regret and apology at the right time.

The conversation between the two people made the three people behind them feel that something was wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong.

"Alright, Professor, although you are here to assist in the investigation today, I don't really mean to pursue it, and if it weren't for Narcissa insisting that I give Draco the truth, I wouldn't have to move forward with this matter. After all, you know that who hasn't met a few people who have trouble with them from time to time in their school days! ”

"But professor, I still have to say that competition among students is a good thing, but isn't it a bit too much for faculty and staff to attack students?" As he said this, Lucius looked at Filch behind Dumbledore with cold eyes.

That look made Filch feel an inexplicable chill. He wanted to say something, but Lucius quickly looked away, seemingly unwilling to linger too much on this guy.

It seems that if you look at this person more, you will pollute your eyes. Such a blatant contempt made Filch, who was already up and down, even more frightened.

He opened his mouth to explain it to Lucius. But as soon as his mouth opened, the wizened young man beside him put his wand to his throat.

"Throat deadbolt." He looked at the speechless Filch and sneered, "Some are when you speak." Don't rush yet. Filch looked frightened, and he looked at Dumbledore for help.

Dumbledore sighed lightly, and then said to Lucius, "Lucius, I am willing to vouch for my credibility, this matter is definitely not Filch'......" Lucius smiled and did not speak.

Then he said directly: "Let's go, everyone, let's go where we should go, and don't affect the normal work of the members here." So the members of the Ministry of Magic, who had come to watch the fun, laughed, and prepared to leave.

Lucius and Dumbledore were busy greeting those people. Some only greeted Lucius, such as the patriarch of House Goyle, and some only greeted Dumbledore, such as Arthur Weiss.

Of course, more people are greeting both of them at the same time. For the junior staff, they are all elders.

It's not bad. Filch was soon ushered into a small room, one of the Ministry's interrogation rooms.

It is said that very few people can come out of this small room without saying anything. Of course, if you say it, you won't necessarily be able to get out.

"It was all from that era. Now they are naturally much more standardized. Lucius explained to Dumbledore, and ushered him into a large living room.

The two sat down, and Lucius served Dumbledore a cup of tea.

"Helps with digestion, Professor." Lucius said,

"You should be mindful of your body."

"You have a point, after all, I'm old enough." Dumbledore calmly took a sip of his tea.

Lucius watched Dumbledore's reaction. The two of them sat in the living room, looking at each other.

Their positions were not aligned, and Dumbledore never trusted Lucius. Lucius was a loyal Death Eater more than a decade ago, and after the fall of Voldemort, he paid a heavy enough price to clear his name.

However, even so, after a few years of precipitation, the Malfoys still became one of the most influential families in aristocratic circles.

Lucius had no loyalty to anyone. But neither the Ministry of Magic nor Lord Voldemort would always think of him when they needed him.

In addition to having money, his own ability is naturally also an important factor.

"I think it's best for Mr. Filch to do it." Lucius was silent for a long time, then looked into Dumbledore's eyes, and then said with a cold face, "All I need is a truth that will calm my wife's anger." If you're serious about protecting it, someone will be willing to get involved in all of Hogwarts. Dumbledore seemed to fall silent.

He wouldn't have been unaware. This in itself was a good opportunity for Fudge to meddle in Hogwarts affairs, provided that ...... There is enough support from the school board.

How many school managers will there be? Lucius alone can control at least half of the votes of the school trustees. And the other half...... Naturally, it was in Dumbledore's own hands.

However, there is one, if not many, votes that will follow this one.

"If Luke Gaunt chooses to support the Ministry of Magic now, then Professor, you will be unusually passive in an instant." Lucius whispered in Dumbledore's ear, "I'll be honest, Luke Gaunt, you've been with him for so long, do you really think you know this student?" ”

"Normal people in the Gaunt family are mentally ill. The people of the abnormal Gaunt family are even more elusive than mentally ill. Lucius said seriously, "We haven't seen a man from the Gaunt family like the legendary Gaunt for generations. Unfortunately, now, there is a high probability that there is one. How many people around me would choose to leave me when he spoke? ”

"Your position has changed again, Lucius. Constant change is the only constant in you. Dumbledore talked about a topic that didn't matter in the current incident.

"So you called me out in this way this time, just so that an old man could deal with an 11-year-old student with you?" Dumbledore wasn't annoyed, he wasn't angry, he just opened his mouth with some confusion.

I don't understand why Lucius would do it to such an extent.

"I didn't mean to deal with Luke Gaunt. On the contrary, if he really needs anything, I'm afraid I need to support him with all my might. Lucius sneered, then looked at Dumbledore and said, "Professor must have heard that Draco had gathered a lot of power in the school and spread a different kind of thought. ”

"Luke is behind this, and most professors know this." Dumbledore nodded.

"But we don't know from the outside world." Lucius said with a gloomy face. Dumbledore frowned, "Nobles, don't know about this?" ”

"They thought it was Draco who was leading the matter. At least some of the twenty-eight families, and the smaller nobles, thought so. ”

Luke Gaunt hid himself. And he's pulled a lot of people up and became his shield. ”……

"Will Dumbledore be embarrassed by the Ministry of Magic?" Harry's brow furrowed, and he sat in his seat with a sad face.

The expression on Ron's face beside him was the same, looking so sad.

"Maybe we shouldn't worry too much, after all, the Ministry of Magic can't do anything to Dumbledore, he's the most powerful white wizard right now, and he's also the headmaster of Hogwarts!" Ron muttered under his breath.

Fortunately, today's class was Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class, and with Neville by their side, they didn't worry about whether they would pass today.

So they have a lot of time to grieve.

"That's right! That's Dumbledore, who could help him! Harry told himself the same.

But judging by the expressions of these two people, they are not very confident in what they say. That's the Ministry of Magic!

The ruling body of the entire British wizarding world! Harry couldn't help but feel the darkness of politics that he had heard from Uncle Vernon in the house on Privet Road.

Muggle governments always seem to have a way of making an innocent person guilty.

Uncle Vernon once said that those who know how to do this kind of thing is as easy as eating and drinking.

Of course, if Dudley hadn't threatened to send him to prison with such words, maybe he wouldn't have remembered it so clearly.

This long sigh lasted until the end of the lesson. In the process of leaving the greenhouse, Hermione looked at the two people in front of her with a disgusted expression, here worried about the country and the people, as if their sighs could save Dumbledore from the Ministry of Magic.

They also came up with various unrealistic ideas, such as using Mr. Wesley's connections to enter the Ministry of Magic, and then directly rescuing Dumbledore after figuring out Dumbledore's location.

If you meet someone who wants to embarrass them, just ask Harry to give his name. Luke was able to rely on his aristocratic status to make many people respect him, so there was no reason why Harry, the savior, couldn't do it!

And not long after they walked out of the greenhouse, it was like providence in the dark. They saw the sneaky figure that got it.

Quirrell, he's walking in the direction of that hallway. Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"We should tell Luke."

"But then maybe it'll be too late, I'm sure Luke can find us!" The two of them nodded and followed in Quirrell's footsteps.
