Chapter 183: Are You Ready?
Voldemort's 'demise' doesn't mean that those things are over, on the contrary, it is really just the beginning.
There is still a lot to be done, and for some insiders, the next battle with the Ministry of Magic is the most important thing.
Even before the start of the feud with the Ministry of Magic, there were issues within Hogwarts that needed to be resolved.
At first glance, time is tight.
"If you don't want to affect the students' next studies and don't want to put things off until the second year, at least you should let some people do a good job of ideological construction now, right?"
Facing Dumbledore's seemingly helpless gaze, Connor said calmly.
As for the mood and some minor troubles on the old headmaster's side, these were not within his consideration.
"You're quite right."
Gradually reining in his helpless demeanor, Dumbledore nodded slowly.
He didn't have the idea of shirking his responsibility, and he had long passed the time to pay attention to dignity.
"But everything has to be in order, and I have to deal with some things in the school first...... After all, it's not just Peter Pettigrew, it's Quelinus and even Tom. ”
"Would you choose to tell the Ministry of Magic about Tom? Tell them that Voldemort had come back and been completely crushed by me, the student. ”
Connor made an exaggerated gesture.
"Or, tell them that the Savior Harry Potter has once again defeated Voldemort and succeeded in the prophesied feat, which would be easy to make public."
After all, the name of the savior is not yet completely over.
However, it was obviously impossible for Dumbledore to admit this.
"Tom isn't completely gone, Connor, you should know that."
"It's not far from disappearing completely."
Connor said calmly.
After all, Horcruxes don't have the ability to actively move, and all they can do is trick people who come into contact with them to move.
But in the current situation, Voldemort doesn't matter at all.
The only thing that matters is the child who lost his parents at an early age.
"Harry isn't fit to come out and take on these ...... right now He hadn't grown up enough to afford the fame. ”
Dumbledore whispered.
"What's more, I've talked to him recently, and he regrets his impulsive behavior very much."
"But they can't be blamed for this kind of thing."
Connor spoke.
"I've found a lot of confusion spells on Quirrell's spells, and they're not very powerful, far from the point of directly changing and inducing cognition, but they can channel emotions."
It seems simple, but it is the perfect temptation for an 11-year-old who is easy to get started.
With only half-truths, and this emotional confusion and guidance, Gryffindor children can easily ignore the most basic actions - such as reporting to the teacher, asking for help from others, etc.
As far as the results are concerned, the three children who don't care about the overall situation are indeed being played.
"I told those kids that they were doing their part for this, and they needed to give them extra points."
"Then I don't think they will accept it."
"Yes, the three kids admitted it, they admitted and accepted the mistakes they made, and I think that's very commendable."
"Indeed."
As an outsider, Connor can give this kind of recognition and evaluation.
But alas, he is not destined to do too much about this, at most he cares about some changes in scores.
"So, there won't be any change in the house scores?"
"It's up to you and Isobel what the kid thinks."
With that, the old headmaster reached out and tapped on his desk, and a glass of juice appeared in front of him in the delivery of the house-elves.
"Do you and her want to come forward?"
"I suggest you ask her questions in person, as for me ......"
Facing the old headmaster's gaze, he just reached out and scratched the kitten on his shoulder.
"Since you can ask that, can I think ...... You don't want me to stand up in this situation? ”
Faced with Connor's seemingly-for-tat question, Dumbledore's hand that was about to drink the juice couldn't help but pause.
But he didn't stop, just slowly drank the sweet juice.
"So, what position do you have in asking me this now?"
"Hmm...... I'd love to ask you as a student, but you never seem to treat me like an ordinary student, right? ”
"After all, I will always unconsciously have stricter requirements for you...... You should take this as an old man's emotion and bias. ”
"Humph......"
Although he could hear Dumbledore's words, Connor didn't care about such things.
It's nothing more than a matter of the previous generation.
"I'm sure I'll stand up, Headmaster, and I don't think you're going to deprive a child of the credit for his hard work...... I didn't defeat Voldemort, but I occasionally discovered some conspiracy, and as your student, I defeated Quirrell and unearthed the conspiracy behind it at your behest and request. ”
In a few words, Connor had all these things arranged.
"A very simple credit, isn't it?"
"If Isobel's kid won't stand up and admit that she defeated Peter, are you willing to take the credit for her?"
"Come on, I guess you have something to do with that, don't you? If Isobel doesn't want to admit it, then it's better for you or Professor Snape to take on the comparison, and I don't want to confront the Ministry of Magic at this point. ”
Although it takes a few turns to really think about it.
But who admits that he defeated Peter, which is indeed the equivalent of a solid slap in the face of the current Minister of Magic?
After all, it was the Minister of Magic who was able to secure his position as Minister of Magic by catching the real culprits of the Potters in the first place.
"I'm an ordinary student, how can I compete with the Minister of Magic and his Aurors in terms of size?"
This sounds a bit of a yin and yang weirdness, after all, this should not have happened.
"Before we talk about that, though, I think you should have a good talk with Isobel...... At least one side. ”
"So, can I meet the kid?"
The old headmaster asked.
"That child, would she like to see me?"
