Chapter 174: Dumbledore lifts his chess

"Chirp!"

It was the voice of Phoenix Fawkes.

Snape, who was admonishing Arnold at the door of the hall, frowned, pursed his lips and whispered, "Don't speak, Dumbledore is here." ”

"Severus, what's going on in the castle?"

Led by Phoenix, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall hurried into the hall, followed by Brie.

Snape didn't answer Dumbledore directly, but looked at Brie.

"I'm curious, doesn't Oude like that so-called fantasy game?"

"I'm sorry, Professor, I was just talking to Professor Dumbledore when Fawkes popped up." Brie smiled helplessly, and the fox looked at Fawkes suspiciously.

He always felt weird, because Fawkes had just flown in from the direction of the Forbidden Forest, and Dumbledore had chosen to come to the castle.

Snape snorted, and then turned his gaze back to Dumbledore.

"It's Blake, I found him, but he's dying fast, maybe you should let me check every place so that Hogwarts doesn't become a place for criminals."

"What's going on here?"

Lupin rushed back at this time, and he said, "Just now, Professor Flitwick hoped that Oude would come to the stage and fight, but unfortunately he didn't find anyone, so I'll come back and take a look." ”

"You're talking about Blake?"

Snape's face turned stinky, and he immediately sarcastically said, "Maybe someone brought him in, we all know that Hogwarts has good protection, and it is difficult for ordinary dark wizards to enter, unless there is a mole......"

Snape's words froze the atmosphere for a moment, and Lupin's face changed, because Snape's mole was clearly pointed at him.

Dumbledore smiled.

"Don't say that, I want to believe James, you can't always be so hostile, it will affect your judgment, you have to look at things with your heart."

"You're right, Ode."

Brie, who was accidentally clicked, frowned and nodded slightly, "Maybe you're right, Headmaster Dumbledore." ”

Look at the problem, I'm afraid that the so-called traitor is you, Dumbledore.

Brie saw through it and didn't say anything, and now Dumbledore was obviously favoring Lupin, and he had a weird attitude towards Blake and never talked about it.

"Chirp!" The phoenix had just flown to the roof of the building, and then flew down.

Dumbledore's face changed.

McGonagall said, "What happened, Dumbledore?" ”

Professor McGonagall had just watched Snape and Lupin go toe-to-toe, she had been teaching here for many years, and of course she knew about Snape and Lupin's feuds, which was good, but if Snape and Siris Blake faced each other, it would be a real disaster.

And now, it's clear that another problem has arisen, and it's not just Blake's break-in.

Dumbledore didn't have the idea of hiding it, and said directly: "Follow me and take a look." ”

"Of course, maybe Ode can come with this little wizard and stay safer by the professor's side." As he spoke, he added, "Professor Lupin, please go to the Quidditch pitch and let Sprout take care of the little wizards, and don't let the little wizards go back to the castle now." ”

Lupin nodded hesitantly, and soon ran towards the Quidditch pitch.

Only then did Dumbledore lead a few people up the stairs.

When a few people followed the phoenix to the principal's office, they realized that the principal's office had been attacked...

"Take a closer look, Dumbledore, if you've lost something!" Professor McGonagall's face was anxious, and she said, "I just handed you the latest financial report and the key to Gringotts yesterday, and it's not just Hogwarts expenses, but also your share of Halloween's candy!" ”

"Oh!" Dumbledore's originally calm face changed, and he walked up quickly, ran to the table, and opened the drawer.

"Whew, it's okay, the key is still there!"

And then, he ran to the back shelf, picked up a book, and with his movements, the bookshelf slowly pushed open, revealing a large cabinet, which he opened and filled with candy.

"The candy is fine, it doesn't seem like anything important has been lost."

Dumbledore grinned.

Snape scanned the surroundings, he had been looking for Blake with a map of the living spot for the past few days, but the map only recorded the places he had visited, and it was obvious that Blake knew the secret passages that were not on the map, and often avoided his pursuit.

Just now, as is customary, he took out the map, and once again found Blake, and was about to arrest him, but this shrewd fellow fled again......

Wait a minute!

Snape reached into his arms.

The map is gone!

It must have been chasing Blake just now, and fighting with the werewolf Bernard who suddenly appeared, and he lost it.

Snape was about to leave the Headmaster's office, after all, it was Bernard who had made it, and his target was Blake, and he didn't want to get involved.

"Wait, Severus."

Dumbledore suddenly stopped Snape.

"Maybe you can tell it, I'm afraid it wasn't Blake who did it here." Dumbledore looked at the shattered door, where a bone of dark magic lay in the rubble.

Dumbledore waved his hand, and the bone flew into his hand.

"It's werewolf magic, I don't believe Blake got involved with werewolves so quickly."

Werewolf?

Cloth suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he felt calculated.

Because when it came to werewolves, Dumbledore looked at him.

"Werewolves?" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

"Brie said earlier, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest?"

Dumbledore heard Professor McGonagall's exclamation, and he walked back to the table and opened the drawer.

"I'm sorry, it looks like a werewolf, because the Forbidden Forest Pact is gone."

"You should tell the truth, Severus, and not hide it... You're right, Slytherin House kids. ”

Dumbledore looked at Arnold, who was silent.

"You can get out, Arnold, the werewolves have run back to the Forbidden Forest, and Blake is hiding, or you can stay at the door out of fear."

"I, I'll go back to the common room, Dean."

Arnold hurried away, he didn't want to face Dumbledore, now that his own body was not well recuperated, he didn't want to bother with Snape's affairs.

Snape snorted coldly, and then told what had just happened.

After hearing this, McGonagall said angrily, "You can't choose to hide it because of the original grudge, Professor Snape, the child is still here." ”

Obviously, the child Professor McGonagall was talking about would not be Dumbledore.

Brie smiled, he wanted to get out of here too, but Dumbledore had already chosen to let him in.

"I want to postpone this matter, the Forbidden Forest Contract is not simple, it will take a lot of time for the werewolf to crack him, I will let Fawkes go to the Forbidden Forest to watch." Dumbledore looked deep and said, "Werewolves won't do Hogwarts harm, I promise." ”

Brie thought of what she had seen in the prophecy that werewolves had taken over Hogwarts......

"As for Blake." Dumbledore muttered, "We should tell the young wizard about his existence, and of course, the Ministry of Magic will know about it." ”

"Oh, Dumbledore... This. Professor McGonagall hesitated, as Dumbledore's move would undoubtedly give the Ministry of Magic more reason to send Dementors to Hogwarts, which would make the Ministry of Magic even more vigilant about them.

"It's fine, it's just outside of school, and as long as I'm headmaster, I won't let a Dementor enter Hogwarts and hurt the young wizards."

Dumbledore swore an oath, which made Professor McGonagall put aside her refusal for the time being.

Snape said, "Well, I think I can get out, Dumbledore." ”

Snape glanced at Brie and walked away in confusion.

"Then please let me talk to Ode about something, Minerva, it's about the fantasy game, he's so hot, and the little wizards are very enthusiastic."

"Oh, if that's all there is to it, of course you can." Professor McGonagall nodded and exited the Headmaster's office, but instead of going far, she transformed into a tabby cat and crouched on the guardrail of the doorway.

"Ahem, I'm sorry to get you involved, Ode."

Dumbledore squinted and looked at Brie with a smile.

Brie frowned, "Maybe you did it on purpose, Professor Dumbledore, it's been getting cold lately, and Fawkes doesn't feel comfortable staying in the Forbidden Forest." ”

"Oh, haha, you can see it, yes, yes, I deliberately let things be stolen by werewolves, I know they need this thing."

Hearing Dumbledore say his own arrangement bluntly, Brie said impatiently, "Maybe I'm not obligated to help you deal with the werewolves, or the Ministry of Magic, Headmaster Dumbledore." ”

"Wait, Ode, you're wrong, you caused the werewolf thing, don't forget the egg."

Egg?

Could it be that his Patronus turned into an egg, brought out of the Forbidden Forest by Dumbledore at the beginning of the school year?

Brie wondered, "What does it have to do with it?" ”

Dumbledore explained, "As you may recall, I said that there was something wrong with the Forbidden Forest Pact, and what I didn't tell you was that the egg was the source of the problem. ”

"I don't know why it was bred in the Forbidden Forest, but it attracted the attention of the Forbidden Forest Contract and affected the power of the Forbidden Forest, and after the school started, I investigated in the Forbidden Forest, and I found that because the contract was affected, those wolves took the opportunity to escape from the forbidden land in the depths of the Forbidden Forest......

Dumbledore didn't say any more, and Brie had already understood what was going on, and it turned out that the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest were really the problem he had provoked.

Brie had a terrible headache, and now he had no reason not to get in.

"Huh." Dumbledore smiled happily, this was the first time he had made Brie deflated.

"So what do I need to do?" Brie exhaled, wanting to hear Dumbledore's arrangement, he didn't believe Dumbledore said this, just to play with him, and the rest of the things were left to Brie himself, obviously, Dumbledore was in the next big game.

"I hope to use the Forbidden Forest as a place to train the savior this year, and to prevent the rest of the young wizards from being implicated, Ode."

"Huh?"

Brie never imagined that Dumbledore would say this.

"Maybe you said the savior, but I'm sorry, it has nothing to do with me."

"No, Oude, it's a request, you don't need to pay much, and I'm honest." As he spoke, Dumbledore cast a silent spell so that the outside world could not hear what was being said inside.

"Is that your honesty?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, I just want you to know something, Minerva's character is too fair to allow me to do this."

Brie held back the complaint in his heart, and Dumbledore sat down in the messy chair like a naughty child, pushed away the clutter on the table, used the Flying Charm to summon the candy in the cabinet, placed it on the table, picked up a piece of candy that looked like it was full of syrup, and ate it.

"Do you want a piece, Ode, it's a new kind."

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Brie pondered, at this point Dumbledore was obviously going to talk to him openly and honestly about something, whether this move pushed him from the pieces on the board to the spectators, or his side, it was a brilliant move, so that Brie didn't know how to refuse.

"Maybe you can elaborate on what I need to do, and of course, I'm not going to be a fool to get into trouble and have to put my life in it."

"Oh, I know, you're a smart kid."

Of course smart, Dumbledore admired in his heart: a guy who is free between white and black, does not accept the pull of white, and will not be forced by black, and has his own bonds between black and white, amazing guy, this is only two years, and he is still a thirteen-year-old child......

"Today's Daily Prophet, you did the work of the Ministry of Magic, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade have been talking about it for the past few days, but I didn't expect it to be in the daily newspaper, amazing, that uncle of yours... Tom? ”

Tom, a familiar name, but there were too many people named Tom, and Dumbledore didn't suspect anything.

"Yes, I wasn't prepared to let the Ministry of Magic suppress this matter when school started, the victim was me, and I won't endure it cowardly."

"It's a very Oude idea, hahaha, children should have the idea of neither being humble nor arrogant." Dumbledore laughed and said, "But it can't be too much, the Ministry of Magic can't change its master at this time, even if Fudge is very ambitious, gathers pure-blood forces, and wants to drive me down, but I understand that he will not turn to the darkness, this is destined." ”

"I don't think so." Brie smiled, Fudge won't get any benefit from stepping down now, the foundation of the Oude family is still too weak, if the next minister is a pure-blood family, it will not be easy.

"Oh, you understand." Dumbledore's eyes flashed.

"Well, you can just keep doing what you have to do, and while the Ministry of Magic is not suitable for change, it's good to suppress it appropriately."

"After that, I'll find a way to get the Ministry of Magic to turn its attention to werewolves..."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he stared at Brie with a smile.

"As you wish, Headmaster Dumbledore." Brie was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect Dumbledore to want this, of course, this matter is not the point, the point is that Brie is willing not to interfere in Dumbledore's affairs, this is what Dumbledore wants.

"Oh, by the way, maybe you didn't know, the werewolves of the Forbidden Forest have negotiated with the werewolves of the outside world, and Draco's father, Mr. Malfoy, received a request from the werewolves from the outside, but Mr. Malfoy is very smart and did not accept."
