Chapter 607: Dumbledore Expelled
In the first few days of school, the castle is always enveloped in a very strange atmosphere.
The most obvious manifestation of this is the increase in the number of owls at breakfast, and the large number of letters being delivered every day.
At this time of year, when everyone has not yet calmed down from the excitement of the holidays, there are always endless topics to talk about among friends, and there is not a moment of silence in the auditorium.
But now, people are just busy reading letters and replying to letters, and no one is in the mood to chat, and they don't know that they think that an important exam will be held tomorrow.
And this change has continued from the first day of school to the present.
"My mom is asking me about school again."
At breakfast that day, Justin Finelli tossed aside the half-read letter and muttered, "She has written me five letters in the last few days, and my father, who seems to think that there is a madman in the castle who will burst out at any moment." ”
"Isn't it?" Zachary Rice Smith on the side said: "Old foolish Dumbledore, Harry Potter who made bad jokes on everyone in order to attract everyone's attention......"
He had just written a brief reply and tucked the envelope into the talons of the owl next to him.
"A well-known principal, but accompanied by a liar messing around, their worries are still very necessary."
"I don't think Professor Dumbledore would do such a thing." McMillan muttered quietly.
He and Fenrieri agreed in that they both chose to trust Dumbledore, but since they were all classmates, he didn't argue anything.
"Actually, my family read the Daily Prophet and they kind of didn't want me to stay here...... Of course, I came anyway, and I didn't want to give up magic. ”
Zachary Smith continued: "But correspondingly, I have to write to them every day to make sure that I am safe at school. ”
"Then you're really hard."
Just because McMillan doesn't speak doesn't mean that others don't say either.
Mikel couldn't take it anymore, and said mockingly: "Since you're so worried, you might as well stay at home, it's much safer, and you can save a piece of parchment every day." ”
"I don't mind buying a piece of parchment every day." Zacharis, "And why should I give up my studies because of two crooks, they should leave." ”
"Dumbledore is not a liar." Ryan said seriously, "He's the greatest Headmaster Hogwarts has ever seen, and our family has chosen to believe him. ”
"Me too." Mikel said.
"Whatever you want." Zacharis said indifferently: "The Daily Prophet has made it very clear, and since you are still obsessed, then I can't help it." ”
"It's you who is obsessed with it, and you actually choose to believe the Daily Prophet." Mikel said unceremoniously, "If you want me to say that this newspaper is terrible, I would be suspicious of Dumbledore." ”
"Anyway, if you want me to believe it, unless he can come up with strong evidence to prove that the mysterious man is really resurrected."
Zachary Smith pushed the empty plate in front of him forward, craned his neck and said, "Until then, I would prefer to believe the Daily Prophet."
"Oh, by the way, Dumbledore, whom you believe in, has been expelled from the Wizengamot and the International Federation of Wizards because he is losing his mind."
With that, he got up and left the auditorium.
The scene was a little awkward for a while, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.
"Some people don't believe it, and that's normal, right." Justin Finchrie tried to lighten the mood.
"Ha, who cares if he believes it or not." Susan Bones also pouted and said, "Expelling Professor Dumbledore, whoever it is, they will definitely regret it!" ”
"That's right."
Driven by them, the table soon became lively again.
"Zachary Rice Smith must have been talking nonsense."
Not far away, Cedric, who had listened to their conversation the whole time, frowned and said, "Wizengamot and the International Federation of Wizards...... How could they have fired Professor Dumbledore, this is impossible......"
"Actually, it's true."
Kyle looked at the Daily Prophet in his hand
On the front page, it was clearly written that Dumbledore had indeed been expelled.
And the article is mocking Dumbledore for being an old fool, and being expelled is self-inflicted.
Obviously, while some people trust Dumbledore unconditionally, many more, like Fudge, are reluctant to believe that Voldemort has been resurrected.
While attending the meeting at the Pig's Head Bar during the holidays, Kyle noticed that the number of people in attendance was actually not very large, probably in their thirties.
So they voted to expel Dumbledore by virtue of their numbers.
The International Confederation of Wizards expelled Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard...... It has to be said that this is the first time Kyle has seen this kind of magical operation.
However, Dumbledore seemed to have guessed this outcome, as in the words he had said at the end of the opening party......
"The mystery man is very clever in creating conflict and hostility, and we must show the same unbreakable friendship and trust......"
Perhaps it was Voldemort's purpose to make Dumbledore part ways with most wizards, a disunited wizarding world, which he wanted to see.
And as long as he doesn't show up for a day, this misunderstanding can't be eliminated for a day.
Of course, there is another possibility, and that is that Dumbledore was deliberately expelled.
According to the newspapers, the Wizengamot vote was 19:21, that is, the proposal to expel Dumbledore was passed by a narrow margin of two votes.
To Kyle's knowledge, there were fifty full voting members of the Wizengamot, but forty of them voted.
Where did the remaining ten go?
Abstained? Or not involved at all.
There is also the International Confederation of Wizards, where the number of people who also voted was not enough, and there was also only a difference of two votes.
If it was on purpose, Kyle couldn't think of what Dumbledore's purpose was in doing this, to paralyze Voldemort? Or do I have other plans?
Kyle shook his head, not thinking any further, and instead picked up a letter next to him.
Wizengamot, that's probably the only good news for the day.
It is that the application for a ruling on Lucius, Karkaroff, McNeill, and Umbridge is closed.
There are two pieces of parchment, and the general content is that Lucius and the others voluntarily gave up their accusations against themselves yesterday.
Progress is progressing a lot faster than Kyle expected.
The original investigation into Barty Crouch lasted more than half a year, but this time it was over in just a few days.
As for the results...... The letter said that the three Lucius would later make a public apology in the newspaper and that they would be fined a sum of gold.
Umbridge, on the other hand, was not punished, and according to the letter, she insisted that she was just blinded and that she was fine.
Kyle always felt that there was a sense of tranquility in it.
But......
He glanced at Fudge's name, which was specifically mentioned in the letter...... Well, that's the right taste.
"I don't know what else is going to turn out of." Cedric sighed, "What if the school board also believed in the Daily Prophet, I don't want to see someone other than Professor Dumbledore become Headmaster in my seventh year." ”
"Don't worry about this." Kyle said, "The only identity Dumbledore will not give up is the Headmaster of Hogwarts." ”
