At midnight, a tall figure walked out of the Forbidden Forest along the muddy path with a kerosene lamp in his hand, followed by four diminutive figures.

"It's finally out, it's really a sin... I felt my feet blistered. This time, I must tell my father that the school board should take care of Dumbledore, and why should he be punished for patrolling the Forbidden Forest if he makes a mistake. It's not something that people can do!"

Draco looked at the lights of Hogwarts Castle in the distance, a twig in one hand, and his tired face was full of complaints against Headmaster Dumbledore.

The last trip to the Forbidden Forest was a bad memory, but due to a werewolf attack, the patrol was forced to stop in the middle of the patrol, that is, they did not complete all the patrol routes, and Draco did not feel tired.

But this time, except for the unlucky stag being killed by a meteorite on the road, they patrolled the forbidden forest and did not encounter any danger. So this time the Forbidden Forest patrol has really completed all the patrol routes.

The trip made Draco feel physically exhausted, more tired than the first time he ran with Arthur.

"Che, would you like to write an article for the Daily Prophet called 'My Board Member Father.'"

Harry wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Draco's tired body, and grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"You!" Draco glared at him, trying to retort but was interrupted by Hagrid.

"Don't quarrel anymore, you've all been arguing all night, aren't you tired?"

Hagrid, who was concerned about the girl's physical condition, had no intention of favoring Harry at this time, and reprimanded the two of them, and walked in the direction of the castle.

Send Arthur and the others back to the castle, and he can go back to take care of Yaya. Thinking of this, Hagrid's thick eyebrows full of worry stretched a little...

After a night of silence, it was raining cold and light outside the castle, and Arthur, who had just finished lunch at noon and was about to go back to his dormitory, was suddenly stopped by Filch.

Arthur thought that he had been found out about feeding Lady Loris, and he came to warn himself this time, and just wanted to say that he would not next time, but he didn't expect Filch to say that Headmaster Dumbledore was looking for him first.

"Crumble fries!"

After confronting the stone statue with today's password, Arthur made his way up the spiral staircase into Dumbledore's office.

At this time, Dumbledore was staring at a beige cloth bag on the table, his face serious and deep in thought.

When he heard someone come in, he looked up, and when he saw that it was Arthur, his serious face softened a lot and smiled a little.

"Can you tell me what happened last night?"

"Nothing happened, but during the patrol, Harry and Draco got into an argument and Draco said he was going to get his father and the school board members to pressure you to lift the punishment of patrolling the Forbidden Forest."

Arthur was a little puzzled as to why Dumbledore had asked about last night, so he casually sold Draco.

As for Quirrell's case, because the audience sister told him that no one could find out the truth at that time, and his writing ability activated after Kryptonite had replaced "Quirrell's dead past" with "The frightened stag was killed by a meteorite rain".

Arthur, who had always trusted the audience's sister, was not worried that Dumbledore could find out the truth.

If he was too honest and told Dumbledore everything that happened last night, Arthur already had a premonition of what was going to happen next—Dumbledore would persuade him not to use his abilities again in the future, just as Tang Seng did to Sun Monkey.

"Hehe, Lucius had already sent me a letter as soon as possible. Ask me not to let his son go to the Forbidden Forest again."

Dumbledore stroked his pale beard and smiled. Then he quickly put away the smile on his face, pushed the beige bag on the table towards Arthur, pointed to the black irregular ball in the bag, and asked in a deep voice.

"I want to know, what's going on? When I joined Hogwarts, I was an assistant to the professor of astronomy. I also observed that meteorite the day before yesterday, and I am convinced that it will not land on the earth, but why is it here?"

Why did those meteorites that killed Quirrell appear?

Here in Dumbledore? Arthur frowned slightly, he remembered that he had buried these meteorites.

Before Arthur could speak, Dumbledore spoke again, "Madam Pomfrey told me that Hagrid's companion Ya fell ill by mistakenly eating a rabbit carcass contaminated with some dark creature. And this dark creature is not a species that should exist in Britain."

"I think there must be some connection between it appearing in the Forbidden Forest and the meteorite suddenly landing in the Forbidden Forest. So I wonder what the hell happened last night? Arthur... It's going to target you."

"Do you suspect Voldemort has sent his minions into Hogwarts again?"

Sure enough, Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the day, was able to connect these two unrelated things. Arthur whispered words of admiration for Dumbledore in his heart, and then asked rhetorically.

"The dark aura on Yaya's body, I met it once when I was young, and I was with ..... that year."

Hearing Arthur's rhetorical question, Dumbledore did not respond immediately, but told Arthur about an adventure he had with Grindelwald when he was young.

When people get old, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they like to reminisce. Dumbledore described the adventure very carefully, and Arthur felt very verbose.

After blocking out the intimate daily content of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, their adventures can be summed up in a few sentences.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald find a portkey in a valley in Northern Ireland, and when they activate it, they are transported to some uncharted area where a group of dark creatures live.

After killing several dark creatures, the two came to an undersea palace and found that there was a very powerful and very evil terrifying existence inside.

Young Dumbledore and Grindelwald used spells to seal the sea. After returning to England, the two of them vowed never to let that terrifying monster appear in the wizarding world, no matter what happened in the future.

After listening to Dumbledoreki's passionate adventures, Arthur remembered Quirrell's statement yesterday that the Philosopher's Stone was fake.

Could it be that the fake Philosopher's Stone stolen by the Death Eaters was the Portkey?

"Arthur, you're a smart child. I'll tell you this story, you should think of something... That's right, the Philosopher's Stone Voldemort got was the Portkey."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore's momentum suddenly weakened a lot, and a trace of regret flashed in his tired face and cloudy blue eyes.

"I thought that if Voldemort was tricked there, he would be sealed away forever with that monster. But the dark aura on Yaya's body has already told me... My plan failed..."

"Arthur, last night was dangerous... In that case, you must have paid a great price for using the ability to change reality..."

Looking at Dumbledore now, Arthur felt that he was no longer the great leader who defeated Grindelwald and fought against Voldemort for many years, and was admired by all wizards, but an ordinary helpless old man who stepped into a coffin with half his foot.

"The price... It's really big... That's 80 million gold galleons..."

But this price, Arthur could not have told Dumbledore.

Looking at Dumbledore's dull eyes, Arthur was silent for a moment before speaking.

Headmaster Dumbledore......
