Chapter 13: Waiting for a Conversation
Ministry of Magic, Department of Occult Affairs.
For Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic was a place that complicated his perception. The old man mentioned more than once in the original book that he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation of power, so he turned down the position of Minister of Magic many times and chose to be a good headmaster at Hogwarts...... And even though he had already believed Yang Yun's words in his heart, Dumbledore still chose a safe way and went to investigate some information with Grindelwald first.
"Cornelius Fudge, the former Minister of Magic, had a mysterious death, and he was close to many of the pureblood family before he died. We may not be able to find Voldemort's whereabouts directly, but with clues in this regard, and then extrapolating the process from the results, he will definitely leave corresponding traces. ”
These were Dumbledore's words to the three members of the Middle-earth team before he set out to investigate: "I'm sorry, but I have to reconfirm ......"
"You're getting old, Albus."
Grindelwald let out a short sneer, his eyes flashing with cruelty: "If you want me to say, why do you care about the Ministry of Magic, and the unworthy Minister of Magic? They're just a bunch of corpse vegetarians. ”
"It's a matter of going all over the place, and Rufus-Scrimgeour is doing well right now."
Dumbledore shook his head quietly, he revealed a warning gaze, and looked at Grindelwald disapprovingly: "Gellert, not only am I old, but you are also old...... We are not young, and we naturally have to have the inherent rules of this world, and we should have due jealousy. ”
"Besides, you know, the Department of Mysteries is now involved...... Think about it, if Tom had been hiding there for a long time, what kind of magic would he have studied? ”
Dumbledore's words stopped talking, but Grindelwald seemed to suddenly think of something, and a solemn look appeared on his face: "Yes, you are right, Albus...... Confirmation is required. ”
Seeing that Grindelwald was persuaded by himself, Dumbledore turned to the three of the Middle-earth team again, and with a flick of his wand, a lot of sweets and fruits suddenly appeared on the table in the headmaster's room, as well as a pot of steaming black tea: "Sorry, we need about half a day." ”
Yang Yun did not show any different emotions because of the attitude of the two towards him, but nodded understandingly: "No problem, we will wait here." ”
Dumbledore glanced deeply at Yang Yun, Zhan Lan, and Chu Xuan, who had picked up a brightly colored tomato from the table. Grabbing Grindelwald's wrist with one hand and the phoenix's tail feathers with the other, he vanished into the flames, leaving only a word echoing through the air.
“…… Thank. ”
……
"So, what do you think Dumbledore is worried about?"
Seeing Dumbledore and Grindelwald leave the Headmaster's office, Yang Yun picked up a chocolate frog from the table, feeling that the enchanted chocolate frog wanted to break free of his palm, and said to Chu Xuan in the mind link: "When it comes to the Department of Mysteries, they obviously have something reserved for us. ”
"As it should be, the Department of Mysteries contains the lowest and most core secrets of this strange magical world."
Chu Xuan took a bite of the tomato, not caring about the juice that spilled out. I don't know if the cultivation of this fruit has added elements of magic, the tomato in front of him is more bright red than that of the main god space, and chewing the flesh does not affect his analysis in the heart link: "Thought, time, prophecy, death, and love...... The fifth part is only the tip of the iceberg, and the true face of seven of the twelve doors is still unknown to others, but judging from what has been revealed, it is enough to explain Dumbledore's solemn attitude. ”
"It is said that wizards first discovered the secret of magic in the underground of London, and then established an organization to study the secret...... Therefore, it was the Department of Mysteries that first came into existence and then the Ministry of Magic. ”
Yang Yun swallowed the chocolate frog in his hand in one gulp, and said the information he had seen from the Internet before entering the main god space: "But speaking of which, Chu Xuan, why do you think that Voldemort would hide in the Department of Mystic Affairs, instead of using some powerful magic to obscure everyone's discovery of him?" ”
"Because of pride."
Chu Xuan replied without hesitation: "Voldemort is a proud and inferior person, he always cares about his background. He had half Salazar Slytherin blood in his veins, and the other half from a lowly Muggle he despised him. And the experience of growing up in an orphanage as a child made this duplicity even more important to him, so much so that he abandoned his name in the end. ”
"Psychological profiling." Zhan Lan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, added.
"That's right." Chu Xuan ate all the tomatoes in his hand, picked up a brightly colored apple, and looked at it carefully: "And in this time and space, he has not experienced the most painful complete defeat in Harry Potter, nor has he spent ten years in the forests of Albania, just surviving for ten years." ”
"You mean, Voldemort still retains the pride in his heart, and even if he knows about the future of his failure, he will only laugh at the failed self because he has not been driven into the worst situation?"
Speaking of this, Yang Yun had almost understood what Chu Xuan meant: "Therefore, Voldemort will never be as unresponsive to Dumbledore and Grindelwald's search as every possible thing. Because of his pride, he doesn't allow himself to wear an invisibility cloak or take any potions every day, and passively receive other people's detection magic all day long, which will drive him crazy...... Unless the obscuration of information is two-way, objectively existing? ”
"Snakes need to molt to transform, and the same goes for people."
Chu Xuan put down the apple in his hand and looked at Yang Yun with his gaze behind his glasses: "Judging from the time when the team battle between the Central Continent team and the Inzhou team ended, Voldemort did not face the certainty of Dumbledore and Grindelwald joining forces, so he put his idea on the Department of Mysteries and borrowed the power there to make himself stronger." With the level of chaos in the Ministry of Magic before, and the support of the pure-blood family behind him, it is not difficult to enter the Department of Mysteries quietly through the line of Cornelius Fudge. ”
"But anything leaves a mark, and that's where the layout comes in." Yang Yun picked up Chu Xuan's words: "But Chu Xuan, what are you waiting for now?" ”
- That's not your style, Chu Xuan.
Yang Yun understood Chu Xuan's layout style, and he was now able to accept Dumbledore's arrangement without saying a word, and chose to sit here and eat fruit, which proved that he had something more concerned about than the traces of the Undulating Earth Demon.
"I'm waiting for a conversation."
This time, Chu Xuan did not use the telepathic link, but spoke calmly.
The young man pushed his glasses and looked at a corner of the principal's office, where there was an empty chair.
"Waiting for a gentleman who returns from the 'future' to the 'past' to satisfy my thirst for knowledge." (End of chapter)
