"Don't talk about that." Calvin took the initiative to sidestep this icy topic. If he continued to dwell on this issue, he might get into a fight with Dumbledore.

But Calvin wouldn't do it, not because he was afraid of Dumbledore, but because it was vexatious.

After listening to the prophecy, he understood that the death of Senior Sister Lily was a complete tragedy, and this tragedy was not caused by someone, but was destined, and his fate had already been decided.

Just like Oedipus was destined to kill his father.

Dumbledore nodded, looking back at the towering castle.

"Lately, Malfoy has been very active in the school, constantly collecting negative information about previous Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, and trying to connect that information with me." Dumbledore said with a wry smile, "Even Snape can't stop him. ”

"Albus, do you think you're going to be taken down by Malfoy?" Calvin exaggeratedly acted, "I've heard of him, a wall-to-wall grass who washed away suspected Death Eaters with money. I think you're pampering him. ”

"That's not good," Dumbledore continued walking towards the Lake Center, "if the Chamber of Secrets incident isn't resolved properly, I may indeed lose my position as Headmaster for the time being." ”

Calvin pouted, he didn't believe Dumbledore's claims.

"You say I'm pampering him, and of course I'm right. I wonder what exactly he is doing this for. Dumbledore said, "Malfoy is a smart man, he doesn't know what he's doing doesn't have any effect on me..."

"But he did it anyway," Calvin said for Dumbledore, "because I told him to do it." ”

Although Dumbledore had guessed the answer, he glanced back at Calvin in surprise.

"So, Lucius has chosen another master for himself?"

Calvin gave him a blank look, "Between me and him, we just use each other... It's like your relationship with Snape. ”

Dumbledore still sighed a little, "I didn't expect Lucius to have the courage to become a double agent." ”

"He just wants to protect his family, and I can help him protect it."

"In that sense, he's already better than Voldemort."

With that, Dumbledore walked back to the shore in the direction he had come.

"I thought you'd ask me about my specific plans." Calvin asked.

Dumbledore waved his hand, "Since you didn't tell me on your own initiative, I'm not going to get involved in your plans. ”

Calvin snorted coldly, "I hope you won't be too surprised when it comes to you." Then he walked up to the shore in the other direction.

When Neville woke up from his sleep, it was night, and Harry was alone in the dorm.

Harry, who was changing clothes, was startled by Neville's screams when he woke up, looked at Neville sitting on the bed panting and asked, "Neville, are you alright?" ”

"I'm fine," Neville said, wiping his forehead with his hand, which was covered in fine sweat, "just a nightmare." ”

"Nightmares," Harry breathed a sigh of relief as he continued to change his dirty clothes, "I often have nightmares and wake up from them. ”

"I had strange dreams," Neville said as he got out of bed, confused, "and I remember when I was out on an outing with my parents, a big snake appeared with a bunch of small snakes behind it. The snakes took my parents away, and I could hear them screaming......"

Neville said, as if suddenly remembering something, "How did I sleep in my dorm?" ”

Harry was amused by the question, "Because you can't sleep in a girls' dorm." ”

"No," Neville sat back on the bed, "I don't remember that I was back in the dorm. ”

"Isn't your amnesia already cured?" Harry asked, puzzled.

Neville's face flushed as he struggled to remember what had happened today.

"This morning, Professor Capet and I left the school to visit my mom and dad in the hospital... He's supposed to bring me back by noon..."

"Professor Capet?" Harry was interested, and hurriedly changed into new clothes and sat down next to Neville, "Did he say anything to you?" ”

"He seemed to have asked me if I would like to save the world."

Neville was quick to explain today's events as amnesia. But Harry didn't think so, and he told Ron and Hermione about it worriedly.

"Come on, Harry, you've been suspicious of Professor Capet lately." Ron looked at Hermione's Transfiguration notes and said nonchalantly.

Hermione also looked up from the pile of homework, "And you haven't been able to produce evidence." ”

Harry was speechless, and he had to tell his friend what Dobby had told him that night.

"Dobby told you that someone at school was going to plot against you?" Ron's mouth widened, "But you shouldn't suspect Professor Capet, he's your mother's friend." ”

"But I've always had the feeling that he's been weird lately, and I suspect that Malfoy Sr. has been investigating the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor lately, and that Professor Capet instigated it." Harry said stubbornly.

Hermione sighed helplessly and looked at Harry, "Harry, there's no reason for Professor Capet to do this. Moreover, adults always have their own affairs, and it is impossible to tell us everything, and adults are like that. ”

Professor Capet, who Harry suspects, is plotting with Lucius about something.

Lucius walked down the darkened eighth-floor hallway, following Calvin's instructions, to a blank wall opposite a portrait of Silly Barnabas.

"Is this it?" Lucius muttered to himself, feeling for the blank wall, wondering how he was going to find Calvin.

As soon as his hand touched the wall, a wooden door with intricate carvings appeared on the wall, replacing the blank wall, startling Lucius.

The wooden door opened automatically, and Calvin's voice came from inside, "Come on in." ”

Lucius did not dare to delay, and after passing through the wooden door, he found that this was a simple and elegant study, full of wooden bookshelves and ancient books.

"This is Mr. Cape's... Secret room? Lucius exclaimed, his gaze drawn to some of the silverware on the shelves, which, as the patriarch of the ancient family, he could tell at once that they were well-made elven artifacts.

"No, it's not mine, it's ...... A friend of mine. Calvin didn't say much about Royina.

"Sit down," two chairs and a table appeared in the center of the room, and the two men walked over and sat down, "What are the results of your recent investigation?" ”

Lucius took out a stack of parchment and placed it on the table, and said with some unconfidence, "I asked the different grades what they think of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, and many young wizards are just a little unhappy with the change of professors from year to year. And many times, some of them don't finish an academic year at all. ”

Calvin picked up the parchment and flipped through it casually, "If it really takes a full year, then this professor will encounter some misfortune, this is a position that Voldemort himself cursed." ”

Lucius nodded, and continued, "The little wizards are mainly dissatisfied with the professors of the past two years, and Quirinus Quirrell is a stammer, and he can't speak clearly in class; Lockhart, on the other hand, is a pure liar and learns nothing from him. ”

"Alright," Calvin put the parchment on the table, "then report this to the school board." ”

Lucius was a little speechless, and said cautiously: "Mr. Cape, I'm afraid I can't defeat Dumbledore with this... That's Dumbledore, if you're not sure, I don't think so. And, I don't think, you shouldn't challenge Dumbledore. ”

Calvin looked at Lucius with a look of bewilderment, like looking at a young wizard who had answered incorrectly.

"Who told you that I was going to take down Dumbledore?" Calvin took out a crystal ball, "What I want is, without exposing you, to take Harry out and let you get the crystal ball from Harry." ”

Lucius cautiously touched the crystal ball, and the white mist inside spun rapidly, and a harsh, hoarse voice sounded:

"The man with the power to conquer the Dark Lord approached...... Born into a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times...... Born at the end of the seventh month...... The Dark Lord would die from his own conceit, and his arch-enemy would be only a support. ”

"This is the prophecy crystal ball that the Dark Lord wants?" Lucius asked incredulously.

"It's just a fake." Calvin put the prophecy ball back away, "As for you, you can't talk about challenging Dumbledore, you're just a parent of a student, a school director, and you have raised reasonable questions about the headmaster. He won't do anything to you. ”

"It's better to be like this." Lucius muttered.

Calvin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Lucius, our plan shouldn't be leaked." ”

"Our communication will never be heard by a third person, and it will not be leaked out." Lucius said firmly.

"I mean that house-elf..."

"Mr. Capet, you should know that house-elves never betray their masters."

Calvin thought carefully about the day he saw the elf in the dark.

"Don't underestimate life, Lucius. That house-elf of yours, I saw in his eyes the desire for freedom. Calvin said.

Soon, a piece of gossip spread among the students: the Hogwarts Board was investigating Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

To say that it is an investigation is actually just a nice way to say that the school board will question Dumbledore.

"I knew it!" Harry slammed the table in anger, "Lucius Malfoy didn't have any good intentions, he wanted to overthrow Headmaster Dumbledore. ”

There were many students who were just as angry as Harry, and most of the teachers expressed disgust at Lucius's sinister behavior.

"Phew, pig." In Hagrid's hut, the half-giant gave his own assessment of the matter, "Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world, how dare old Malfoy?" ”

"I'm sure he won't give up after he got rid of Professor Dumbledore, and maybe Professor McGonagall will be next." Ron said hatefully.

】

But instead of being as angry as the two boys, Hermione's expression showed a strange concern.

Hagrid saw what Hermione was about to say and poured her a cup of hot tea.

"Tell me, wisest little wizard, what do you think about this?"

Hermione held her teacup in both hands and looked out the window at the increasingly cloudy sky.

"The evidence submitted by Malfoy Sr. is the material of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors in recent years. But in reality, apart from Quirrell and Lockhart, the other professors were not stained. If you want to use this to attack Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"Doesn't that mean Headmaster Dumbledore will be fine? Wuhu! Ron excitedly wanted to give Harry a high-five, and Hagrid smirked.

"Well," Hermione sighed, looking at the smirking Ron, "old Malfoy should know that if he can't bring down Professor Dumbledore, then he may probably lose his position as a school director." Old Malfoy shouldn't have been stupid enough to do that. ”

Ron put down his raised right hand in some embarrassment and asked with some puzzlement, "Then why did old Malfoy do this?" ”

"Because he has another purpose." Harry replied.

"Yes, Harry," Hermione nodded, "I suspect you're right. ”

Harry and Hermione exchanged glances, and Harry knew he couldn't stay here any longer, so he said goodbye to Hagrid.

After coming out of the cabin, Ron asked, "Harry, you mean to say that someone is plotting against you, and that person is Malfoy Sr?" ”

Harry nodded at Ron as he walked quickly.

"Merlin, I think we should go to Professor Capet right away!" Ron sped up and overtook Harry, trying to find Calvin.

But Harry pulled him back, his eyebrows full of doubt, "I don't think it's better to look for Professor Cape..."

"And what do you want?" Hermione asked breathlessly behind the two.

Harry looked at Hermione and Ron, "If I could, I'd like to go to old Malfoy and ask for clarification." ”

"Are you kidding, how could he possibly tell you?" Ron thought it was a fantasy.

Hermione thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, I know a potion that can change your appearance after drinking, you can change your appearance after drinking, you can take on the appearance of other people, go ask old Malfoy." ”

"Yes!" Ron excitedly said, "We can become Slytherin students, and he is very kind to Slytherin students. ”

Harry asked equally excitedly, "Hermione, can you refine that potion?" ”

"Hmm...," Hermione rubbed her hands together, "There is not enough time, it will take a month to refine the compound potion, and I'm afraid everything will be over after the refining." ”

"Leave it to me, Fred and George told me that there is a student in the castle from whom you can buy any potion you want, and I think that compound potion will be fine."
