Chapter 235 Umbridge, Do You Want to Be the Principal?

Dumbledore began to turn blue.

Dragon meat? Thestral meat?

Is this thing edible?

Although he had heard that his Divination professor had an unusual knowledge of ingredients and even went to and from the Leaky Cauldron every day for this reason, he did not want to try it himself.

“I think a side of golden fried fish and a side of chips is just right for lunch.”

"That's such a shame." Townsend showed a disappointed expression. "I thought Professor Dumbledore would be more accepting of food. After all, you have been to so many places."

"The only thing I have never been to is China." Dumbledore found a place to sit down: "Although I have always wanted to go, eating habits have always been one of my concerns."

He looked at Old Tom and said: "Old Tom, please inform the Ministry of Magic. They should be happy to capture the two fugitives who escaped from Azkaban."

"In fact, I have already informed you." Old Tom said: "Professor Dumbledore, your lunch will be delivered soon, and of course, Professor Tang's stewed dragon meat. You want to have some eight-eyes today. Giant spider sashimi?"

"No, let's forget it today." Tang Sen looked at Dumbledore, who showed an increasingly unhappy expression after hearing the word Acromantula sashimi, and said regretfully: "After all, I was the one who invited Professor Dumbledore to lunch. , I’m worried about affecting his appetite.”

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief.

He could understand dragon meat, but it was a bit beyond his acceptance that the Acromantula could be eaten, let alone sashimi.

He really couldn't imagine what that stuff would taste like. No, Dumbledore forcibly stopped his association and made up his mind to extract all memories about today's ingredients after returning to Hogwarts. .

The food was served quickly, and Dumbledore tried not to look at the huge lunch plate in front of Townsend, which contained suspicious ingredients. He kept cutting the fried fish on the plate with a knife and fork, but He never took a bite. The stew on the opposite side was steaming hot, and the suspicious aroma kept attacking Dumbledore's nostrils.

The smell was so strong that Dumbledore lost his appetite.

It wasn't until several Aurors came from the fireplace and took the two Death Eaters away that Dumbledore waved his wand, causing an invisible barrier to appear around the dining table.

"Professor Dumbledore, your condition doesn't look good." Townsend noticed his blackened palm.

"A small price to pay." Dumbledore joked: "It won't be any more uncomfortable than dining with you."

This time he did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point: "Professor Tang, I need your help."

These words were very familiar to Tang Sen. The last time these words appeared, there was a gray-robed wizard in front of him. Of course, he was the one who said these words.

"I will do my best," Townsend said.

"You told me last time that Tom made seven Horcruxes." Dumbledore slowly took out a broken black-shell diary and a ring with the gems removed, and said, "I think, I Two of them have been destroyed.”

"I need more Horcrux locations."

"This is also one of the reasons why I invited you here." Tang Sen looked at the two Horcruxes on the table and said, "I have discovered the location of the other two Horcruxes."

He did not say it directly, but changed the topic: "But, Professor Dumbledore, other Horcruxes are not the key."

"You must know that Voldemort will die only when all the Horcruxes are destroyed. Otherwise, he will always come back."

"So, have you decided how to deal with the most special Horcrux?"

Dumbledore was silent for a moment and said: "I cannot make a choice for Harry. When that day comes, I will give him the right to choose."

"So, you plan to let Mr. Potter choose to die." Townsend looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes and said, "You know that he actually has no choice, right?"

Dumbledore remained silent, unable to answer this question.

Tang Sen did not ask any more questions. He just said calmly: "The first Horcrux I found was hidden in the vault of Gringotts. That vault belongs to the Lestrange family, the one you just subdued. A family of Death Eaters.”

"Hufflepuff's Golden Cup."

Dumbledore frowned slightly.

"The gold cup? This is a relic of one of the founders of Hogwarts. No, the Gaunt family is also a descendant of Slytherin, one of the founders."

He suddenly reacted: "Tom made the relics of the founders into Horcruxes? Then there should be Ravenclaw's crown and Gryffindor's sword. No, not the sword. I relied on the sword to destroy Gangster." The special family ring.”

"Maybe your guess is right, but I didn't find the location of Ravenclaw's diadem."

Tang Sen answered.

Of course he knew where the diadem was. This Horcrux was in Hogwarts, hidden in the Room of Requirement. In fact, he knew the location of all the Horcruxes.

However, there is no need to tell Dumbledore about Horcruxes that are too easy to obtain. When necessary, Tang Sen believes that it is a good thing to have some Horcruxes in his hands.

"What about the other thing?" Dumbledore didn't dwell on it, he just asked.

"The other one is also alive." Tang Sen said: "It is a big snake named Nagini, who is inseparable from Voldemort."

"Nagini"

Dumbledore fell into deep thought and murmured: "This name seems familiar."

"It's not important." Tang Sen said directly: "Maybe she used to be someone you knew, but now she is just a cruel and cold giant snake. The most important thing is that she is Voldemort's Horcrux. And she is not my student."

"In other words, when I find Nagini, I find Tom."

"That's right." The corner of Tang Sen's mouth curled up slightly: "My suggestion is to give Voldemort a little surprise. He will definitely not expect you to appear in front of him."

Dumbledore gave Tangson a strange look.

"Professor Tang, if Voldemort hadn't targeted you and sent someone to trouble you, wouldn't you have said anything about Nagini?"

He highly suspected that the diviner already knew the location of all the Horcruxes, but only chose to tell them when it was most beneficial to him.

"Of course not." Tang Sen said righteously: "You misunderstood. Everything I did was just to fight against the Dark Lord."

"And help the magician, right." Dumbledore said: "Yesterday morning, after the party, you left London alone, and someone saw traces of the dragon on the outskirts of London."

"This is slander." Townsend said confidently: "I have nothing to do with magicians. I fully support all decisions of the Ministry of Magic."

"No one else here can hear you." Dumbledore said helplessly: "Professor Tang, to a certain extent, I don't want people like magicians to rule the magical world, but obviously, I can no longer stop it. Maybe this is the future you've seen."

"If possible, I'd like to talk to the magician."

"There will be a chance."

"Dumbledore's life is coming to an end."

After finishing the conversation with Dumbledore, Townsend clearly realized this.

He also realized that the white wizard seemed to have made a completely different decision from the original work - in the original work, he placed all his hopes on Harry Potter and made elaborate plans for this, even He also set his own life as a part of it.

Such a powerful wizard did not die in a battle with the enemy, but died in the hands of his own people, just to allow Snape to regain Voldemort's trust, and this trust was for the cruel Voldemort. It doesn't make much sense.

But this time, Dumbledore seemed to be planning to take action himself, whether it was collecting Horcruxes or facing Voldemort head-on.

"The Headmaster of Hogwarts has a lot of things to be busy with next."

Townsend returned to Hogwarts and did not stop in his office. Instead, he opened the door and walked along the corridor in another direction.

"In order for him to focus more on the great work of destroying the Dark Lord, I think we can reduce his workload in other aspects."

Boom boom.

Tang Sen stood in front of an office door and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened automatically, and Townsend could see Umbridge sitting with her head buried in front of her desk, writing furiously. She didn't look at Townsend, but said in a high-pitched voice: "Wait on the side. I'm very busy now."

"I don't like waiting, Professor Umbridge." Townsend closed the door and said softly.

Umbridge's movements froze, her head suddenly raised, and then she looked horrified.

"Professor Tangtang."

She stood up in panic: "I didn't know it was you."

This is the first time Umbridge has talked to Townsend since the last time she was threatened. The senior investigator of the Ministry of Magic has always been avoiding Townsend.

Townsend walked up to Umbridge and picked up a piece of paper casually.

"Oh, you're writing a review for Fudge?"

He read it out softly: "By questioning many young wizards of all grades, Professor Umbridge, the senior investigator and Hogwarts faculty examiner, was able to determine that the rumors about magicians first came from Harry Potter. Obviously, the young wizards at Hogwarts had no way of contacting the outside world. On that day, many young wizards saw him walking out of Dumbledore's office. It can be speculated that this may be Albus Dumbledore. Inspector Umbridge tried to question Dumbledore on this matter, but the other party avoided the review."

He frowned slightly.

"What the hell is this? It's nonsense. It's all fabricated words."

"I am Professor Tang. This is Minister Fudge's order. He hopes that I can write a review manuscript that is unfavorable to Dumbledore." Umbridge explained carefully.

Townsend threw the manuscript back on the table and said calmly: "So, you think that this kind of unilateral and untrustworthy review can remove Dumbledore from the position of principal."

Umbridge shook her head quickly: "No, you can't."

"Although Secretary Fudge earnestly hopes to do so, we cannot find strong evidence yet."

"Really?" Tang Sen walked behind the desk and Shi Shiran sat down: "Umbridge, why do you think I came to you?"

"In order to modify the review results?" Umbridge said quickly: "Professor Tang, please rest assured that I did not write anything detrimental to you."

"I'm sure you don't dare." Townsend supported his chin with his hand, looked at Umbridge calmly, and suddenly asked: "If you succeed in removing Dumbledore from his position, then who will become Hogwarts?" Your principal?"

Umbridge was a little confused, but she still answered instinctively: "According to the qualifications, it must be Professor McGonagall or Professor Snape, but Minister Fudge will not be willing to see this scene, and I am still in Hogwarts. If If nothing else, Minister Fudge will want to appoint me to the position of principal."

"So, do you want to be the principal?" Tang Sen continued to ask.

Umbridge glanced at Townsend uneasily, then quickly lowered her head.

"Should I think about it or not?"

She really didn't know what the other party wanted to do. In her opinion, the divination class professor was obviously a cruel and malicious dark wizard. What was tragic was that she couldn't think of a way to resist the other party.

"It depends on your attitude, Umbridge." Townsend said softly: "If you don't resist becoming a Hogwarts principal under my control, and don't resist obeying my orders to implement some rules, then , you can think.”

Umbridge's eyes widened.

She suddenly realized why the other party didn't take any action for a long time after threatening her. It turned out that the other party was just waiting, and now she realized that the real purpose of the fortune teller in front of her was to control Hogwart. Hereby.

Of course, she said: "Of course I won't resist but"

"As you said, Professor Tang, I can't get rid of Dumbledore, not even Minister Fudge."

"You need strong evidence." Tang Sen took over: "Interestingly, this is not a difficult thing for fortune tellers."

He knocked on the manuscript on the table and said, "I'll tell you how to write a review manuscript."

"The current principal of Hogwarts is planning to overthrow Minister Fudge. To this end, he used the convenience of the principal's position to incite and control a group of students in an attempt to form a team of his own in the Hogwarts school. army."

"He regards Hogwarts Castle, a magical school that belongs to wizards and wizards from all over England, and this pure land that has existed for thousands of years, as his private domain. He has failed to fulfill his duties as a principal, but is shameful. Taking advantage of the little wizards and instilling wrong ideas into them."

"There is no doubt that his behavior cannot be explained to the parents of all Hogwarts students. There is no doubt that he is no longer suitable to continue to serve as the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Umbridge was stunned. She opened her mouth wide and stammered: "Where did this army come from? Dumbledore did not incite the little wizard at all."

Tang Sen's lips curled up slightly.

"That's not important. What's important is that the senior investigating officer, Professor Umbridge, found evidence to prove these remarks."

He leaned back slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I heard that you have always suspected Mr. Harry Potter of having some illegal student association parties, but you have never caught him?"

"I can tell you where they meet, and I can also tell you the name of their student association—"

"Dumbledore's Army."
