Chapter Ninety-Eight: Dumbledore's Letter and Notes
In fact, it wasn't until Gretel received Dumbledore's letter that his heart, which seemed to hang in mid-air, finally settled down completely.
Until then, he had been worried about one thing.
Will Dumbledore put aside his feud with Voldemort for a while and instead work together against him, the man who really intends to subvert the conventions of the wizarding world?
Perhaps, for some, like Cornelius Fudge, the dawn that Gretel single-handedly built was nothing more than a disease of scabies.
His only concern was that Dumbledore would take away his position as Minister of Magic by taking advantage of Voldemort's return.
He's not really stupid, he's just blinded by power.
Glitter shook her head when she received the news from the Ministry of Magic.
Cornelius Fudge is just oversmart, obviously so many people have seen the live broadcast of Voldemort's return through Gretel's projection.
But Cornelius Fudge just felt that all this was Voldemort's conspiracy, and even publicly stated that Voldemort had been eliminated and that it was absolutely impossible to resurrect him.
Glitter knew why he was this attitude.
Because from the beginning, he was able to take the position because of Dumbledore's concession.
At that time, many people felt that Dumbledore was the most suitable candidate for the British Minister of Magic.
It was because Dumbledore insisted on resigning, so Cornelius Fudge was on the throne.
Even when he came to power, it was because of Dumbledore's platform that he gained a firm foothold in the position of Minister of Magic.
So many people privately say that he is Dumbledore's puppet.
It was only after he gradually settled down in his position, and Dumbledore gradually disappeared behind the scenes, really fascinated by Hogwarts teaching, that his heart gradually settled down.
After all these years, he had forgotten about Dumbledore's help, and the only thing he remembered was that Dumbledore had almost become Minister of Magic before him.
The older he gets, the more wary he becomes.
After Gretel's departure from Hogwarts with most of the Dawn, Cornelius Fudge mentally cleaned up the whole thing.
He felt that it was the White Lord Dumbledore, and after so many years of hibernation, he was finally unwilling to be an ordinary magic principal.
That's why I directed and acted in a drama about the resurrection of the Dark Lord.
Gretel, and even Dawn, was Dumbledore's handiwork.
After all, in his opinion, how could any student break with the greatest headmaster, Dumbledore, who was loved by almost everyone.
Even Voldemort only made his mark in the wizarding world many years after graduating.
He didn't believe that a fourth-year student in the world would do something like this, shaking the foundation of the Ministry of Magic.
You must know that the students admitted by Hogwarts every year are basically eleven years old, and even if they are mature after four years of study, they are only fifteen years old in 1995.
Fifteen years old what he was doing and he was still in school for the fifth grade. LS exam worries.
But as for Gretel, he hasn't even passed the ordinary wizard level exam.
If Newt Scamander, who was expelled in the fifth grade, was a dropout, Gretel, like Rubeus Hagrid, was an expulsion who had never even taken the ordinary wizard level exam.
Let me ask, will a student, a student who has not even completed the course, decide to drop out of school on his own?
This is irresponsible for his own life, and Cornelius Fudge does not believe that a self-made rising star would make such an irrational decision.
So, all of this, whether it's Voldemort's 'resurrection', or Gretel's withdrawal from school with his companions.
In Connelly Fudge's mind, it all became Dumbledore's conspiracy, a conspiracy against him.
He believed that Gretel, and so many other students, had been forced to quit because of Dumbledore's power.
But that's fine, he just happened to push the boat and instructed Rita Skeeter to discredit Dumbledore.
Anyway, unless he saw with his own eyes that Voldemort had been 'resurrected' and stood before him.
Otherwise, he, the greatest Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, would never have helped Dumbledore to stand up and call on everyone to stand up against Voldemort's dark rule.
Instead, he had to rip off Dumbledore's fig leaf so that everyone could see the darkest side of Dumbledore.
Glitter lamented that Cornelius Fortile's desire was like a loss of heart.
Voldemort, who hid after his resurrection, praised Cornelius Fudge's performance.
He even told his servants that if Connelly Fudge could bow down to him, he would make Fudge one of the core of the Death Eaters.
Werewolf Fenrir did not even get the status of a regular Death Eater until he died.
Cornelius Fudge is just pushing the tide of some articles, and he is about to get the identity he dreams of, and even become the core.
If the werewolf Fenrir were still alive, he would definitely find an opportunity to give Cornelius Fudge a hard bite out of jealousy.
I don't know if Minister Fudge will be accepted by his master if he becomes Werewolf Fudge.
Of course, all this is nonsense, not to mention that the werewolf Fenrir can't be resurrected.
Speaking of Fudge alone, if he really saw the resurrected Voldemort, he would definitely be brave enough to fight the Death Eaters.
……
To be honest, Voldemort's feelings for Dumbledore have always been more fearful than loving.
From the moment he met Dumbledore in the orphanage, he was afraid of this professor who could see through his heart at a glance.
This fear reached its peak after the wardrobe spontaneously combusted in front of itself.
It hasn't dissipated until now.
Everyone throughout Hogwarts was bewitched by him, praising him for being the best student Hogwarts had ever seen.
Only Dumbledore, forever keeping his blue sapphire-like eyes open, staring at his every move in the shadows, in the sun, in any place that could or might not happen.
When did this fear turn into resentment?
Is it under non-stop surveillance for seven years?
Or when my application to become a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor after graduation was rejected.
Voldemort himself couldn't tell the difference, he only knew that in this world, as long as Dumbledore was alive for even one day, his heart could not feel safe.
Even after he regained his strength, he didn't dare to confront the silver-haired old man, who was already a hundred years old.
It's like when he was in his first year, he wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone with the help of Quirrell, but Dumbledore still seemed to have a last resort.
So many levels were designed for him.
He knew that it was all for calculating him, after all, such a powerful person, if he wanted to protect the Philosopher's Stone, would he need so many small means?
But as long as he carries the Philosopher's Stone with him, who in the entire wizarding world dares to be tempted by that Philosopher's Stone?
Therefore, even after his resurrection, Voldemort still did not dare to show his presence in the wizarding world, as if no one else was around.
He was afraid that it was all Dumbledore's conspiracy.
He did make a resurrection plan with Barty Crouch Jr., the child who saw him like a father, and the ugly rat around him.
However, no one knows how much faith he has in this plan, and the only one who knows it is himself.
That plan, as long as Dumbledore shook his head, determined not to make Harry Potter the fourth warrior.
His resurrection plan can announce that he died before he could leave the school.
However, who would have thought that the child would actually do it, and he would regain his power from the resurrection ritual.
He was pleasantly surprised, and he wanted to do it all.
But the immortal creature escaped from his hands again.
He had to wonder if he had been seen through by Dumbledore again and pinched in the palm of his hand.
He didn't even react to Harry Potter when he was escaping and asked someone else to intercept him.
Forget it, let's wait for the kid to come back, he's already figured out how to reward the kid he trusts the most.
He remembered that he had made a pact with Barty Crouch Jr. that if he saw the Death Eater mark, it meant that he had been successfully resurrected, and that the child should come back to meet him immediately.
However, even Severus Snape, the guy who lurked around Dumbledore as a spy, made it to the report.
Barty Crouch Jr., still nowhere to be seen.
He knew that the boy had been taken prisoner, and that he had been held in the palm of his hand by the person he feared the most.
He should have gone to the rescue, as long as he took the group to Hogwarts to cause trouble.
Threatening the student's life, he knew that Dumbledore would compromise.
However, he didn't dare, he didn't dare to meet the old man when he didn't know how many hole cards Dumbledore had in his hand.
——
Glitter never thought that after the relationship between the two fell apart and they had become rivals clearly.
He was also able to receive letters from Dumbledore, as well as notes as gifts.
Dumbledore's letter contained no complaints, no questions, not even a mention of Gretel's slander against him.
The two of them knew very well that why Rita Skeeter wrote such an article was not because of Gretel's instructions.
Dawn wants to be released, but it doesn't want to cause the entire wizarding world to be wiped out so quickly.
Turning the conversation to another hot topic is undoubtedly the best way.
As long as you can get through the toughest starts, Dawn will be able to gain a foothold in the wizarding world.
At that time, even if the dawn is in danger of destruction, it is impossible to put them all to death because of the law.
As long as the idea of dawn can be retained in the slightest, or a little bit of stars.
Then one day, Dawn will still get up from the abandoned pile of old paper, grow into a blazing flame, and make a comeback.
The only purpose of Dumbledore's letter was to persuade Gretel not to unite with Voldemort.
He spoke of Voldemort's personality, he spoke of Voldemort's development, and he spoke of his concern about Voldemort's domination of the wizarding world.
However, from beginning to end, there is not a single mention of his wariness of Gretel.
In other words, his only admonition to Glitter is to hope that Glitter can stay away from Voldemort and avoid falling into the abyss of dark magic.
Gretel didn't reply, or rather, he didn't know how.
He was complicated when he faced Dumbledore.
Unlike Voldemort, when Voldemort faced Dumbledore, he was afraid, wary, and maybe a little admired?
But what about him.
Putting aside the light of day, from his own point of view, Dumbledore was more like a mentor and friend with different ideas.
Compared to the radical Gretel, Dumbledore was very conservative, or rather, he was very old-fashioned, and he just wanted the wizarding world to go on peacefully, even if the final outcome would be nothing.
Glitter had obtained a lot of notes from Dumbledore, from young to old.
In the notes, the young Dumbledore was a young and frivolous young man.
He has been talented since he was a child, and he has the capital to look down on the people around him.
Notes from the days of Godric's Hollow, which he obtained from Grindelwald.
At that time, Dumbledore, who was like the 'arrogance' in the cone bag, gradually converged some of his edges in the company of Grindelwald.
He knew that there were people in this world who were as gifted as him, and that he wasn't that unique.
However, Grindelwald felt that wizards should rule over humanity, while Dumbledore felt that they should develop separately and cherish peace.
After parting ways, Dumbledore's notes began to reflect on them gradually.
He felt that power could easily lead people astray and bring destruction, and since then, he has rarely studied lethal spells.
Later, when he pursued Grindelwald, he still didn't give up taking notes.
By this time, his notes were full of reflections, including about power, about the system, about Muggles, and about what he had experienced in the world.
He would often carry everything on his own, and he would take Grindelwald's accusations to himself in his notes.
The sins that Grindelwald caused became the sins he did.
Over the years, he saw countless deaths, wizards killing wizards, wizards killing Muggles, Muggles killing Muggles, Muggles killing wizards......
This reflection, after Grindelwald was defeated, came to its peak.
At that moment, he insisted even more that breaking the law of secrecy meant fighting, and fighting meant death and no peace.
In Godric's Hollow, Grindelwald didn't get his first saint as he had hoped.
Dumbledore held on to the love and peace in his heart.
This kind of persistence, after losing his lover and becoming a winner, has completely become the only belief.
For Dumbledore, peace was to reduce the factors that could lead to war.
The law of secrecy can be a good way to prevent another Grindelwald from appearing in the wizarding world, and if it continues, it will also avoid a war with Muggles.
It's just that he didn't expect that there would be a Tom Riddle in the wizarding world.
That Voldemort was all about chasing eternal life.
Dumbledore thought that by keeping a close eye on it, he would be able to prevent this from happening.
But he was wrong, and Tom Riddle became Voldemort, and he was a disgrace to England.
And then the next note is Gretel.
Glitter never expected Dumbledore to take notes about him.
He didn't expect that, in fact, Dumbledore was actually clear about many things about him.
