Chapter 1484 Dumbledore's People
Time flies by in the Apparition talk.
Soon, it was time for Ivan and Harry to go to Dumbledore's class again.
This time, Dumbledore specially asked the two of them to come earlier, so the time was an hour and a half earlier than before.
At half past six in the evening, the two arrived at the principal's office on time.
The lights in Dumbledore's office were on, and when they walked in, portraits of previous headmasters were snoring softly in frames on the wall.
Ivan felt that every time he came, these guys were pretending to be asleep.
It's 6:30 in the evening, and the dinner in the auditorium downstairs is not over yet, shouldn't it be the most exciting time? How could it be possible to sleep.
At this moment, Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk, with a Pensieve and a steaming drink in front of him.
He smiled and watched them enter the office, looking good. But when he got close to Dumbledore, Ivan sniffed his nose hard. He smelled a smell of potion in the air. drank the potion...
what happened? Is it because of those weird spells on the right hand?
Could it be that the damage from those spells has reached the point where it needs to be suppressed by potions?
Before Ivan said anything, he heard Dumbledore say, "I heard that on Christmas Day, you met the Minister of Magic?"
"Yes, we've talked a lot, but it's almost useless." Ivan replied, looking at Dumbledore, but didn't see anything.
"I don't think he's too happy with the two of us," Harry added.
"Yeah, not satisfied!" Dumbledore sighed, "In fact, he is not very satisfied with me. But we try not to be depressed by pain, there are still many things waiting for us to do, continue to struggle, Aiwen , Harry."
Harry was amused by Dumbledore, who said, "He wants us to tell the wizarding world that the Ministry of Magic is doing a great job."
"I know." Dumbledore also laughed, "It was originally Fudge's idea. In the last days of his tenure, he tried desperately to keep his position. He came to me and wanted to see you, haha Lee, I hope you can support him..."
"What, after all that Fudge did last year?" Harry asked angrily. "After Umbridge?"
"Well, so I told Fudge it was impossible, but the idea didn't die after he left office. We met a few hours after Scrimgeour was appointed, and he asked me to arrange an interview with you, mainly because of that prophecy, which he I probably think this is the way to defeat Voldemort." Dumbledore said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, Ivan, after the things you did in Egypt last summer were reported by the media, he wanted to meet you again. He thinks you can help him."
"He hopes that we can come forward to help him, so that everyone can leave a good impression on the Ministry of Magic." Ivan said.
"Yeah, that's his plan, and he thinks it's your duty to help the Ministry keep things in order. But it doesn't really work, in my opinion. So, I turned him down, and we used to happen for that quarreled," said Dumbledore, "but Rufus managed to stop you at last."
"I think Mr. Minister is not ready for a war, he is just thinking about his position." Aiwen continued, "He also said that he would award me a first-class Medal of the Order of Merlin in recognition of I made a contribution in Egypt, but we turned him down in the end, and I don't think it's possible now."
"That's not necessarily the case, Ivan, I know Rufus very well, and he is relatively fair." Dumbledore said, "But as we have seen, the positions are different, and the considerations and starting points are also different. Rufus is An experienced Auror, but the first thing he needs to consider now is how to secure the position of Minister of Magic, and secondly, the upcoming war."
"Is there really going to be a war?" Harry asked suddenly.
"I hope that Voldemort can be defeated in a more peaceful way, but at present, the possibility of this seems very low." Dumbledore replied, "In fact, the war has already begun, and Rufus and the Ministry of Magic just don't know what to do." Willing to believe."
Officially, the situation is tense, but the Ministry is still in control, so don't panic.
But in invisible places, Voldemort's strength and the size of his army are rapidly expanding.
There was a brief silence in the office, and Ivan noticed that Phineas was secretly looking at them while snoring.
Seemingly noticing that Aiwen saw him, he immediately closed his eyes, and the snoring became louder.
"Professor!" said Harry, after a moment's hesitation. "After we refused, Scrimgeour said at the end that the two of us looked a lot like you. He said we were 'Dumbledore through and through'."
"Oh, then he's rude, that's an unwarranted accusation."
"But I said, I am," said Harry sincerely. "I told him that I am Dumbledore's man."
It could be seen that Harry didn't want to show loyalty, but really thought so, really wanted to say so.
At that time, he answered very directly, he told Scrimgeour that he was Dumbledore's man.
Ai Wen avoided this question and did not directly express his position.
Behind the desk, Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again as Fawkes the Phoenix let out a soft, melodious whimper.
Harry's words made Dumbledore's bright blue eyes a little moist, if Ivan read correctly, it should be like this.
Harry noticed this too, looking down at his knees in great embarrassment.
But when Dumbledore spoke again, his voice was still quite calm.
"I'm very touched, Harry," he said, "and you, Alvin, thank you,"
"It's nothing, Professor, we just made the right choice." Ivan noticed that Harry hadn't raised his head, so he said, "I suggested that he talk to you frankly, but he was rejected, I don't think the Ministry is ready for a war. Well, besides trying to win us over, he wants to know what you've been doing lately? Where have you been when you're not at Hogwarts?"
In fact, Ivan is also very curious about what Dumbledore is doing recently!
Looking for the remaining Horcruxes? Voldemort's memory? A clue left by Slytherin? Or something related to evil gods?
"Yeah, yeah, he's very curious about that. I know, it's curious." Dumbledore's voice brightened. "It's funny that he even tried to follow me. He sent Dawlish after me, It's not good, I've been compelled to cast a spell on Dawlish, and regrettably again."
"So they don't know where you've been yet?"
"Yeah, they don't know." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I can't tell you two now, there are still some things that haven't been clarified, and I don't want you to be distracted by this. Now, our most important thing To continue with the lessons. Well, and about the home of the house-elves . . . "
