Chapter 454
Neville and Ron were asked to leave the school infirmary, leaving only Harry and Dumbledore in the room.
The old man's eyes stayed on Harry's scar for a few seconds, and he asked with certainty: "Dream of Voldemort again, right?"
Harry nodded, "Yes, professor, I turned into him in my dream, it's like this..."
"Don't worry, Harry, we have a lot of time, you can talk slowly." Dumbledore interrupted him and took out a large piece of chocolate: "Eat some first, I heard that you didn't even have dinner and went to detention."
Harry was indeed hungry. He was originally impatient and calmed down a lot after seeing Dumbledore's calm expression.
Harry slowly finished the chocolate, feeling warm in his stomach, and then continued to talk.
"I... Voldemort was in a cave, he released the basilisk, and let it bite his neck..."
"The cave..." Dumbledore crossed his arms and stared at Harry's eyes: "What did you feel at that time?"
"I felt very painful, and my body was burning." Harry held his breath and recalled the strange state at that time: "The venom penetrated into the body, but Voldemort was very happy, I couldn't bear it and fainted."
Dumbledore nodded gently, motioned Harry to lie down first, he thought for a moment before saying:
"Thank you Harry, this is very useful information, Voldemort should be injured, he needs to use the basilisk Toxins are used to heal wounds. This is a very ancient black magic. "
"Did you do it?" Harry asked excitedly: "Did you find him?"
"Of course not." Dumbledore laughed dumbly, "I am an old man, I don't have such great ability."
"You are the only one he is afraid of."
"No, Harry, he is not afraid of me, he just treats me with caution. If you really want to say afraid..." Dumbledore stroked his beard with a smile: "I think he may be more afraid of Mr. Lawrence. This injury should also be the masterpiece of Mr. Lawrence."
"Wayne?"
Harry was stunned.
"Yes, Mr. Lawrence has made many silent contributions to the fight against Voldemort."
Dumbledore stood up: "Have a good rest, Harry, remember to drink the potion prepared by Madam Pomfrey, please don't tell others about this, I will handle it properly."
"I remember, professor."
After Dumbledore left, Harry drank the potion, and soon became drowsy and fell asleep.
In the principal's office, Dumbledore asked Fox to invite Wayne over.
"That's the situation. The cave Harry mentioned... is the one you and Sirius went to, right?"
Wayne nodded gently, "Well, according to Harry's description... it is indeed there."
After saying that, he laughed again: "It seems that Voldemort drank the despair potion himself, and I added some seasonings in it to ensureIt can make him feel comfortable for a while."
The most important thing is the big dung egg. Wayne really wants to ask Voldemort about his experience of using it, so that he can make improvements in the future.
Unfortunately, there is no chance recently.
Dumbledore is not as optimistic as Wayne. Instead, he is worried: "Voldemort has discovered that we are looking for his Horcruxes. The remaining ones will be difficult to deal with."
"Professor, things are not as bad as you think." Wayne comforted: "Including Tom, he has lost four Horcruxes. This thing is not Irish potatoes, one crop after another."
Old Dumbledore was also amused by Wayne's wonderful metaphor, "Mr. Lawrence, if Voldemort knew that you put his Horcruxes and potatoes together, he would definitely be very angry."
"The angrier he is, the better. It's best to attack Hogwarts directly." Wayne stretched out his hand to let Fox stand on his shoulder: "When the time comes, Fox will burn him to death."
"Chirp! "Fawkes raised his head proudly.
Dumbledore also smiled at the man and the bird, and felt something was wrong for a long time.
This is his bird!
Sighing, Dumbledore said seriously: "Wayne, although the problem of Horcruxes is tricky, I believe that as long as we have enough patience, we can always catch Voldemort's flaws."
"But just now, I found something unusual."
Dumbledore's eyes were complicated: "Harry didn't even notice it just now. When he looked at me, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, and he exuded a fierce murderous intent."
"Since Harry can bring in Voldemort's perspective, then...will Voldemort be able to occupy Harry's body one day?"
"Aren't you giving him extra lessons? How is the progress recently?"
"It's okay." Wayne understood his concerns, "Do you want me to teach him brain occlusion? ”
“Yes, I originally thought of Severus, but considering their relationship...” Dumbledore smiled embarrassedly.
It is as difficult to let Harry learn the brain block from Snape well as to let the Weasley twins not lose points in the school for a semester.
He would do this only when there is no other way.
“I will teach whatever I want. I have no problem with it, but I still need to listen to Harry’s opinion.”
Wayne is still very professional. Harry has spent money, so it is natural for him to decide what to learn. Of course, it cannot exceed the price he gave.
Dumbledore also understood this truth. He didn’t say much, but nodded and instructed: “I will reduce the frequency of contact with Harry recently, so that Voldemort will think that I don’t value him that much.”
“If Harry gets any news again, please tell me.”
Wayne stretched out his finger: “One hundred points at a time, no bargaining. ”
After Umbridge deducted those 200 points, Hufflepuff’s score was about to hit the bottom again.
Master Lawrence, who cared about the academy, would certainly make up for it, otherwise how could he let her continue to deduct points?
Hearing this, Dumbledore alsoHe was speechless, but he was used to it.
If you want to ask Wayne to do something, it is impossible not to pay some benefits. The school points are already the lowest price.
In the past, he would never agree to such a naked deal from Wayne.
But after getting along with someone for a few years, he unconsciously lowered his bottom line... He didn't feel much guilt in his heart.
As if nothing happened, the days passed.
Harry never saw Dumbledore again after that day, and never went to detention again.
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Monday, Umbridge didn't mention the detention again as if what happened that night hadn't happened, but found various excuses to deduct 50 points from Harry.
This made Wayne envious.
"Why doesn't she pay attention to me?" Holding Fu Loli, Wayne complained indignantly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Qiu, who was reading Quidditch Tactics, looked at her boyfriend with a look of idiot:
"Isn't it good not to deduct points? Do you want her to keep staring at you? How disgusting."
"You don't understand." Wayne shook his head: "It feels wonderful to add points after deducting points."
Since the beginning of the school year, Umbridge has contributed nearly 10,000 points to him.
Among them, helping Harry bounce the curse on the quill pen gave him 3,000 points, and there is also an achievement of corporal punishment professor.
Although 50 points is not much, mosquito legs are also meat.
But Umbridge seemed to be blind in class, and she couldn't see Wayne at all. Even if she was forced to bow every time after class, she endured it.
This is not a toad.
This is simply a turtle!
"I really don't understand." Qiu shrugged, "I haven't deducted points for the college since I came to Hogwarts."
In an instant, Wayne and Fu Loli looked at Qiu with sympathy and said in unison: "Then your student life is incomplete."
Qiu was amused by the two people's synchronization, "Astoria, have you also been deducted points by the professor?"
In her impression, Astoria has always been very well-behaved and cute.
The professors like her very much, and she is also a Slytherin student. Snape can't target her. How could anyone deduct points from her?
Astoria shrank in Wayne's arms embarrassedly: "That... I fell asleep in Professor McGonagall's class, and the professor deducted five points from me."
Wayne's eyes changed when he looked at Fu Loli.
What a warrior.
She actually dared to sleep in Professor McGonagall's class, which was a feat that even he dared not accomplish.
Feeling Wayne's strange gaze, Fu Loli quickly explained: "I was only in the first grade at that time, and the blood curse on my body had not been lifted yet, so I slept a little too much."
Wayne touched her little head lovingly, and Fu Loli smiled and raised her head to kiss him.
Seeing the two showing their affection in front of him, Qiu was speechless.
FortunatelyAstoria is kindhearted, otherwise, with how obedient she is to Wayne, no one can compete with her.
The three of them quietly enjoyed the rare leisure time in the afternoon. As for Hermione, Miss Know-it-all was still immersed in the sea of questions.
At the same time.
Several officials from the Ministry of Magic came to the school and went straight to the principal's office to see Dumbledore.
"Barty, what are you doing?"
Looking at the expressionless Crouch in front of him and the three employees behind him, Dumbledore was a little confused.
"Dumbledore."
Crouch nodded to him, looking businesslike, and took out a notice and put it on the table.
"The Independent Commission Against Corruption has recently received feedback that Umbridge, the Director of the Education Department, is suspected of embezzling funds and misappropriating public funds. I need to conduct an investigation, and I hope you will cooperate."
"Cooperate, how to cooperate?"
Dumbledore had a strange expression. He didn't expect Wayne to play such a trick.
Looking at Crouch's situation, he was going to take Umbridge away in public. Even if she was clean, there would be a lot of rumors.
"I need the expenses of Hogwarts this year, as well as the amount of funds shortfall in various subjects."
"The investigation will not take too long, but it will not be completed in one or two days. You need to find a temporary substitute teacher."
"I'll consider it."
"Then take me to see Umbridge." Crouch walked out first without any extra nonsense.
He informed Dumbledore only because Hogwarts was Dumbledore's territory, not to discuss.
Crouch understood what his mission was. Fudge and Wayne had already decided Umbridge's final fate. Now all he had to do was to throw dirty water on Umbridge and kill her with one blow.
In fact, in essence, there was no difference between him and Umbridge. They were both tools in the hands of others.
But unfortunately, he followed the right person, and Umbridge chose the wrong master.
After coming out of the principal's office, the group went straight to the fourth floor. On the way, many little wizards saw them and followed them quietly with great curiosity.
But when they arrived at the door of Umbridge's office, Dumbledore knocked on the door but got no response for a long time.
"She's not here." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"She must be taken away today." Crouch glanced at his watch, and then looked at the students hiding in the corridor:
"Excuse me, has anyone seen Umbridge? Do you know where she is?"
A second-year boy shouted, "I saw Professor Umbridge go to find Madam Hooch."
"Then let's go." Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Rolanda should be taking flying lessons."
Several people continued to go downstairs. Before they left the castle, they saw Madam Hooch hurried upstairs. She was overjoyed to see Dumbledore.
"Albus, you're just in time. Go and save her.People!"
"What happened?" Dumbledore's eyes suddenly became sharp, and Crouch wisely chose to remain silent.
"The giant squid suddenly went crazy and dragged Umbridge into the Black Lake!"
"............"
Small world in a suitcase.
Wayne, who was taking a nap with Rich Loli, also heard a reminder in his mind.
Ding!
