"Harry Potter: The Strongest Senior Novel ()" Find the latest chapter!

Fudge wants to create a thriving scene in the British wizarding world, so that wizards will praise him, he wants peace, and who doesn't, Dumbledore also wants peace.

A year and a half ago, Hai Erbo took advantage of the friendly match between the four schools to make trouble. Crouch knew about it, but Dumbledore at that time asked Crouch not to make this matter public for the sake of the stability of the magic world.

Today Hai Erbo was seen by the Minister of Magic, Fudge, and Dumbledore had nothing to hide. He told Fudge about Hai Erbo and the golden scepter.

"The Greeks should be responsible for this matter, and that dangerous scepter should be returned to the Academy of the Holy Tribunal immediately," Fudge said.

Without any suspense, Fudge chose this way of dealing with it. Of course, this is also the idea of ​​several other Aurors. They, the British Ministry of Magic, have no responsibility to wipe the Greeks' ass.

Even if Kingsley is Dumbledore's man, he agrees with Fudge's approach at this time.

"The scepter cannot leave Hogwarts." Dumbledore said decisively.

"You mean the confinement curse above? Didn't you cast that? You lift the curse, we will take him to the Ministry of Magic, and then send someone back to the Holy Tribunal." Fudge said, pointing to the scepter.

Dumbledore shook his head, "I mean, Oleg gave me the scepter, and I will keep it safe for him."

Fudge frowned, and asked very incomprehensibly, "Have you ever thought that this will hurt many people, especially your students?"

Dumbledore was silent, and then looked at Fudge with deep eyes, "I thought about it, but have you ever thought that the scepter has left Hogwarts, who else can protect it, Haier will always stare at it. "

Maybe Fudge and the other three people in the room didn't understand Dumbledore, but Kingsley already understood what Dumbledore meant, and McGonagall and Snape could also understand why Dumbledore insisted on keeping the scepter in Hulk. Gewartz, even if it invites danger.

It is because it will bring danger that Dumbledore can't let it leave the school. Whether the scepter is in the Ministry of Magic or the Holy Tribunal, Haierbo will launch an attack. Not only will there be casualties, but the scepter will also be lost. .

Besides, Dumbledore had reason to believe that the British Ministry of Magic, the Greek Ministry of Magic, and the Academy of the Holy Inquisition all had people from Haibo.

With his character, he would rather bear the danger himself than let others get hurt, although what he said just now sounded a bit arrogant, as if the scepter had left him,

It's like no one can protect, but it is true.

"Dumbledore, I know you are very powerful, but the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are not vegetarians, and don't forget the Reticent Man of the Department of Mysteries." Fudge said with some dissatisfaction.

"As a minister, it is worthy of recognition to believe in the abilities of your subordinates, but Hai Erbo is different from those dark wizards you have encountered," Dumbledore said.

Hearing this, the Auror director, Rufus Scrimgeour, who had sharp eyes with gold-rimmed glasses, long tea-brown hair, and a serious expression, retorted displeasedly.

"How different? Do you think we Aurors can't deal with a dark wizard?"

Dumbledore just asked, "Can you solve Voldemort?"

This frightening name came out of Dumbledore's mouth without hesitation, Scrimgeour was frightened and annoyed, he shut his mouth and no longer participated in the conversation.

"Helbo is as dangerous as Voldemort. No one in Greece can guard it after Oleg's death. If the scepter is taken away by Haierbo, Hogwarts will not be the only ones who will be threatened when he regains his strength. Not only that, but Greece, Britain and even the whole world." Dumbledore said seriously.

The more Fudge listened, the more anxious he became. He ended his conversation with Dumbledore and left Hogwarts with his subordinates.

Dumbledore watched Fudge leaving, he couldn't stop Fudge from doing what he did next, but he thought that if it was the Fudge he knew, he would definitely not make a big fuss.

Kingsley called away Tonks who was helping Professor McGonagall restore the castle, and Snape was fascinated by the blood on his cuff, which was sprayed by Lockhart before he was eaten.

Harry was on the sidelines, his eyes glazed over, and he dared not speak. He had watched the previous battle clearly from hiding upstairs. Lockhart's death made him unable to calm down for a long time.

The winter night always falls early, the sky in London is already dark at 6:30 in the evening, and the Hogwarts Express arrived at King's Cross Station.

Sean regained his magic power and Apparated to the platform a few minutes earlier. After a while, the train blew its whistle and entered the platform, and the students got off the train one after another.

There were two missing students on this train, Harry and Sean. Harry, Ron, and Hermione took care of them before they separated, but Sean disappeared on the train for six hours.

The other students got off the train, and Chris and Cassius were still looking for Sean from car to car on the train. Sean shouted to the two people in the car on the platform, "You two haven't got off the car yet, what are you looking for?"

Chris and Cassius saw Sean on the platform through the car window, they were overjoyed, and immediately ran off the train with their luggage.

Chris held Jerry in her arms, and Cassius helped Sean carry the luggage, Chris asked.

"You disappeared as soon as you got in the car. Where did you go? We were so worried."

Sean leaned his head over and whispered mysteriously, "Dumbledore has a secret mission for me."

Cassius looked at him curiously, "What mission?"

"Secret mission."

"What secret?" Cassius asked persistently.

"It's said to be a secret." Sean said with an expression that was about to be pissed off by Cassius.

It is not uncommon for Dumbledore to take Sean out. After all, he is a top student in the eyes of the professors and a student representative of Hogwarts.

It's not surprising that Sean was given a heavy responsibility by Dumbledore. The two stopped asking questions, and after saying goodbye to each other, they agreed to come to the Leaky Cauldron for the next six months.

Sean told the two of them, "The school will return to school soon."

"How do you know?" Cassius asked.

"What is my relationship with Dumbledore?" Sean said pretending to be mysterious.

In fact, he wasn't 100% sure that he had defeated the basilisk, but because Hai Erbo was still there, at worst, there was still a 10% possibility that Hogwarts had fallen.

If Sean knew that after he left, the basilisk ate Lockhart and regained its strength, he would be sobbing.

No one knows what kind of torture Lockhart endured during the summer vacation. The people in Haierbo learned that Lockhart was hired as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for the new semester at Hogwarts, so Demon Dream came to him.

After the three parted, Sean returned to the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Road in a Muggle bus. He opened the door and walked in. Most of the old customers knew him. What holiday, how did Sean come back from Hogwarts.

When the other students returned home, they were also questioned by their parents. Dumbledore did not forbid the students to talk about the Basilisk, so the parents knew that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets had been opened.

The vast majority of parents were very worried after hearing the news. They thought that the suspension of school for half a year was not enough, and the basilisk had to be eliminated before their children could return to Hogwarts.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the "Evening Prophet" will be published. The "Evening News" will only be published when major events occur to ensure the timeliness of the news.

Sean immediately took the "Evening Post" from the owl's claws, and Old Tom said cursingly.

"Brat, did you order the newspaper or I ordered it!"

"Let me take a look." Sean ran upstairs with the newspaper.

Unsurprisingly, the headline on the front page is about the basilisk "Millennium basilisk reappears in Hogwarts, female students die innocently"

Sean looked at the newspaper and read silently, "The basilisk was wiped out by the Ministry of Magic's Auror Office at 1:30 this afternoon."

"Good guy, Fudge is really shameless." Sean looked at Fudge's illustration in the text and said contemptuously.

However, he didn't know that the basilisk was not killed by him, nor was it killed by the Auror, but was taken away by Hai Erbo. See you in the future, and there will be another fierce battle.

"Fudge's trick is to throw the blame on Lockhart."

The article stated that Lockhart was the culprit who opened the chamber of secrets. He has resisted arrest and fled. If you have any clues about Gilderoy Lockhart, please contact the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible.

Lockhart shamelessly pursued fame by all means during his lifetime, longing for everyone's attention, but he did not expect to be cast aside after his death.

Fudge personally went to Ida Keeling's house to express his condolences. Their parents were distraught, and the mother even passed out crying beside her daughter's body.

Sean took advantage of his return this time, changed his clothes, and went to the herbal shop in Diagon Alley to inquire about sage flowers, snakehead fruit, and red fern root powder.

"York, do you have red fern root powder?" Sean asked straight into the store.

The owner, York, is a middle-aged blonde with a beard. He said enthusiastically, "Hey, Sean, what do you want with that, it's not cheap."

Sean knew that scarcity was the most precious thing, and it was not easy to grow red fern. Professor Sprout had limited energy, so he only planted a little, and he couldn't steal it all.

"It's easy to say, do you have money?" Sean confirmed.

"Yes, this is a high-end product, 35 Galleons per gram, how much do you want?" York said.

Sean picked out his ears and asked, "How much?"

York laughed, "35 Galleons, it's very expensive, are you here to ask casually, or do you really intend to buy it?"

"I really buy it." Sean said seriously, "buy 12 grams."

York's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by surprise and doubt.

420 Galleons is almost half a year's salary for ordinary staff of the Ministry of Magic, but I heard that Sean won a four-school friendly match bonus in his second year, which was a full 4,000 Galleons.

"This is not a small amount. I heard that Hearns is keeping your bonus. If you spend the money, you have to ask him to pay for it," York said.
