There was no doubt that Connor had a certain level of resentment towards Dumbledore.

Being taken away by the Ministry of Magic to investigate something, this kind of process of doing things according to the rules is nothing to complain about, if you want to follow the rules honestly, this is the inevitable result.

But the problem is that Dumbledore really acted as the shopkeeper directly, and he also explained the matter to him who was only 11 years old, and it was almost two months since he left, which is a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.

"Well, the Ministry of Magic is actually fine."

However, in the face of Connor's overt and covert sarcasm, Dumbledore's attitude and performance were like old fritters, as if he couldn't hear anything at all.

"For me, an old man, they are still very favorable."

"That's right...... Can you tell me, Mr. Chancellor, what kind of investigation will take almost two months? ”

“……”

However, Dumbledore did not answer directly.

His expression was still relaxed, but Connor could clearly see a hint of hesitation in his countenance.

It can be summed up as ...... Procedure? ”

"Internal procedures?"

Connor apparently understood.

But in the midst of this exchange, Dumbledore gradually retracted the relaxed demeanor on his face.

"After they brought me to the Ministry of Magic, they asked to be stationed at Hogwarts, saying that they wanted to send an inquisitor or something to prevent a possible accident."

"Moreover, it would be better for the censor to have a lot of privileges, such as being able to ignore contracts that even teachers have to worry about, enter the Forbidden Forest at will, or explore the castle at will, and even interfere with the curriculum......"

Finger crossing, Connor spoke.

"What else am I missing?"

"Basically, there's nothing missing, and that's exactly what they wanted...... I don't even think you should have been there. ”

"You don't need to be present at all, you can deduce it."

Facing the old principal's slow expression, Connor said calmly.

"Because that's what the Ministry of Magic is asking for."

Headmaster Dumbledore was taken away because of the so-called 'accidents' that happened in the school, but to say that the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic care about the students in the school and really care about the safety of the school...... Not really, at least not at all.

"What I see in this is profit, it's all a wealth resource on the surface - especially the Forbidden Forest, I don't think Mr. Headmaster will agree to this, right?"

"Yes, I didn't agree, I went to the Ministry of Magic to clarify some 'truths', of course there is no need to agree to those demands."

"And then, you've been grinding for almost two months?"

"Suffice it to say that when I refused, I was left there as a guest, and my friends kept coming to me and asking me about things that didn't matter, and in the blink of an eye it was two months."

They didn't care what would happen to Hogwarts without the Headmaster.

All they knew was that the school as a whole was important to Dumbledore.

"Unreasonable, but legal."

Connor commented.

"I think they should be able to keep you for a long time if they want to...... So how did you come out? ”

"I'm not just the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I'm also the President of the International Confederation of Wizards and the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot."

"There's no way they're going to detain a respected old man who once saved the wizarding world for so long for no reason, right?"

"Well, that's true, when I saw Fudge again, he didn't look good."

"Does he have to apologize to you?"

"Indeed, I also heard his apology."

Gradually, the atmosphere seemed to become cheerful.

One old and one young, one white and one red, Connor and Dumbledore looked at each other and smiled.

They seemed to share common positions and preferences, but it didn't take long for Connor to retract the smile on his face.

"But it's still not reasonable."

Just from the perspective of a bystander, Connor gave his own opinion and evaluation.

"You follow the order and the law, but the people who master the order and the law are unscrupulous for their own interests, taking advantage of the loopholes in the program that should have been filled a long time ago, and in the end you don't rely on the so-called formal means to get out, the essence is still your own reputation, power to put pressure on the entire Ministry of Magic to leave."

Reaching out and touching Phil's child's furry body, Connor's gaze wandered throughout the headmaster's room.

He looked at the portrait of the Headmaster, saw that they were still asleep, and finally turned all his attention back to Dumbledore.

"This is not actually what you said about the program or the order, but the things outside the seemingly stable order have come to this point......"

Connor didn't continue.

From Dumbledore, he had already gotten the answer.

"Even if it's broken, we need it, Connor."

The old man seemed to be sighing and helpless, but his heart was as hard as steel, but it was difficult to shake.

"I want to give any attitude and opinion on this, I just see what he will do...... But this kind of thing obviously doesn't matter now, and our immediate problems have not been completely resolved. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to become more rigid and dignified, this seemingly ethereal topic was skipped.

"I'm not here to discuss those two months of 'vacation life' with you, Mr. Headmaster."

"I want to hear about it."

"So, let's start with the obvious, I don't know if you've met Professor Snape, but he's now considered a bad guy......"

…………

The Great Bat of Hogwarts.

The old snake of Slytherin.

Potions Master.

Deduction maniac.

Since he entered Hogwarts and became the head and professor of Slytherin, he has been called by the students one after another.

It's just that he doesn't care.

In fact, he never paid attention to the title of teacher.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still alive, if it weren't for the fact that the girl still had children, he didn't even feel that he had any point in continuing to live or exist.

But now, the situation does not allow him to act rashly.

Unconsciously, he felt the hostility of the same pair of emerald eyes, and a similar look appeared on the face he had once hated the most.

Absolutely what's going on......

He knew what Quirrell had absolutely done, but there was still a real answer missing.

This answer, Dumbledore, who has already returned, will definitely be able to give it to him!

With this in mind, Snape walked to the door of the headmaster's office on the eighth floor, his cloak fluttering.

But before he could say the password passed by Fox, the dripping stone beast took the initiative to deviate from it.

"Huh?"

Just as he was wondering, the door behind the stone monster slowly opened, and a first-year student stepped out of it.

"Uh-huh, Professor Snape? Were you called by Headmaster Dumbledore? ”

"McMabb?"

Without an immediate answer, the old bat just crossed his hands around his chest.

"Are you ...... here"

"Report on some work; In addition......"

"What?"

"Good luck."
