Hogwarts: What bad intentions could a little badger have?

Towards the afternoon.

Dumbledore finally returned to Hogwarts from the Ministry of Magic.

It can also be seen from his solemn face that this matter did not go as smoothly as he imagined.

Because he didn't expect that Fudge, who had always been polite to him and obeyed his advice, would actually play tricks on him like this...

He didn't even dare to appear in front of him when he left!

Isn't this a sign of guilty conscience?

After returning to the office, Dumbledore asked the house elf to bring some food.

However, the honey-glazed grilled wings that used to taste so delicious are now a bit unpalatable.

Finally, Dumbledore put down his knife and fork dejectedly.

There was a knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Blake walked in.

Dumbledore raised his head and glanced at him, couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:"Do you know what happened?"

"I didn't know it at first, but after reading today's newspaper, I guessed it."

Black looked at the plate in front of Dumbledore.

"You don't seem to have much of an appetite?"

"Sigh... Such an obvious fact... Such an obvious injustice, they only need to try Peter once, and everything will be revealed!"

"But they...even Fudge...well, why would they do this?"Dumbledore looked a little angry.

"Why do you do this...I don't know the specific reason, but I have asked someone to help me check it out."Blake said calmly

"Did you ask someone to check it out? Where are you from?"Dumbledore looked at Black in surprise.

"You know, I have always been a very good person. The more I help others, the more naturally there will be people willing to help me with a little help."

Blake responded to Dumbledore's words with a smile.

"You seem to have figured it out."

Dumbledore looked at Black with hopeful eyes.

Because Black didn't look worried at all.

"Peter has been hidden by us. As long as he is still there, there is no need to worry about this matter."

"Actually...Professor, you can also find ways, but you generally don't use those methods."

Black said meaningfully.

Dumbledore's white beard moved, and finally chose silence.

With Dumbledore's ability and wisdom, if he really wanted to oust Fudge and control 553 the entire Ministry of Magic, it would be worse than Green's current situation. DeVoe is even simpler.

If he wanted to, he could even serve as the Headmaster and the Minister of Magic for fun.

But... he was afraid of power after all.

He didn't believe he could resist it. The temptation of power...

So, in order to prevent himself from abusing power to do things that harm everyone, he chose to give up controlling power.

Moreover, he also chose to give up all practices that affect power.

Therefore, even in this century, he The most powerful wizard.

But there is nothing he can do about Fudge who is playing tricks on him.

Black has always believed that rules are used to restrain good people.

And Dumbledore is such a good person.

If he could not be so resistant to power...

Even if he changes his mind now and releases some kind of information to some people in the Ministry of Magic, then someone will naturally stand up and help him get this done.

His fans are actually far more than himself There was much more to imagine.

However, Dumbledore did not do this.

That is why Black said that he should have a way, but he usually did not use this method.

Dumbledore also knew why Black said this.

However, he still didn't want his mind to change.

If he really did that, what would be the difference between him and Grindelwald now?

"Is there anything you can do?"Dumbledore asked again after being silent for a long time.

"Yes, but I need your help"

"What is the solution?"

"It's very simple, the first step is to find Sirius. The second step is to ensure that the trial court can hold court sessions normally. The third step is to protect these two people from death. The fourth step is to complete the trial."

After listening to Black's words, Dumbledore was a little helpless.

In fact, except for the second step, the other steps are easy to explain...

But……

"What I want you to help with is the second step, which is to ensure that the trial court can open normally."

Black seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and directly made the request. The reason why Dumbledore felt helpless about the second step was because someone in the Ministry of Magic... even Minister Fudge was blocking it. If he wants the Tribunal to open normally, then he has to use methods that he has never used in the past... that is, he personally comes forward to influence the power!

Otherwise...let alone the trial.

The most likely ending for Peter and Sirius.That is, being handed over directly to the hands of dementors without trial and having their souls sucked away.

"Professor...although you have always kept a distance from power, but...when you and Secretary Fudge often exchanged letters, you have actually affected the power unknowingly, haven't you?"Black said honestly.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

He rubbed his eyebrows, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I have to say that Black was right.

In the past, because of Fudge's deliberate flattery, In the past, everything he did went smoothly.

Because he had the support of the Minister of Magic, of course he had the green light all the way.

But now, Fudge no longer supports him, and he immediately becomes helpless.

Even if there is a piece of conclusive evidence, at any time It is very difficult to redress an unjust case that can be redressed!

In other words, although he has never wanted to touch power, in fact, there is always the shadow of power around him……

"You're right, Blake... In all these years, maybe today is the only time that I have absolutely nothing to do with power.……"

Dumbledore raised his head, just in time to see Black's blue eyes.

"good."Dumbledore uttered a word very simply this time.

However, although he agreed to Black, he was still a little worried.

Worried that he would be the same as before... blinded by power.……

"Don't worry, professor, you are no longer the same...Dumbledore you were back then, aren't you?"

"I believe that now you will definitely not forget your original intention."

Dumbledore was speechless for a moment.

Because Black seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and directly pointed out the confusion in his heart.

"Yes, the Dumbledore of today is no longer the ambitious Dumbledore of the past."

A relieved smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

Power... still has to be grasped.

He can also guess the reason why Fudge no longer pleases himself.

Grindelwald... if he doesn't care, British magic The Ministry may soon be completely infiltrated by the Wiccan Party...

Therefore, whether Dumbledore can figure it out or not, he must seize the sword of power.……

"Thumping!"

An owl flew in from the office window with a letter in its mouth.

Dumbledore was about to receive the letter. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But the owl bypassed him and flew On Blake's arm

"Sorry, professor, this is a letter for me."

After Blake received the letter, he took out a small dried fish and fed it to the owl.

The owl took the dried fish and ate it, then silently walked out of the office window.

Dumbledore keenly discovered that, There was a small sign hanging on the neck of the owl.

But the owl flew too fast, and he could not see the pattern on the sign clearly.

At this time, Blake had already opened the letter and read it.

After a while, he raised his head Opening the letter paper, (agfc) said happily:"My friend has helped me find out the cause of the matter."

"oh?"Dumbledore looked at Black in surprise.

"Ultimately, this matter has something to do with the goblins of Gringotts"

"Gringotts? Neither the Ministry of Magic nor Gringotts has any control over the other. What is the connection between the two?"

Dumbledore asked doubtfully.

"I have to say that times have changed... Professor, when goblins know how to use the huge wealth in their hands……"

"They will become much scarier……"

Black said, handing the letter in his hand to Dumbledore[]

After Dumbledore took it, he read it at a glance.

Then, a look of shock appeared on his face again

"The Shafiq family...it turned out to be them……"

The Shafiq family is one of the twenty-eight sacred families recorded in the"Pure Blood Directory".

However, the Shafiq family had already declined to the extreme.

Not only were the population sparse, but they were also becoming extremely poor.

It's a bit similar to the decline of the Gaunt family.

If nothing unexpected happens, this family will be like many pure-blood families in the history of magic. eventually disappeared into history.

But in recent years, the Shafiq family has suddenly improved.

Not only did his down-and-out life suddenly become rich again.

Even the contemporary head of the Shafiq family, Clarence Shafiq.

He also successfully became a member of the Wizengamot of the British Ministry of Magic!

In a blink of an eye, he went from a poor man who couldn't even eat to a senior official of the Ministry of Magic...

As the chief magician of the Wizengamot, Dumbledore naturally had a certain understanding of him.

"I'm still a little surprised why the Shafiq family suddenly rose up again. It turns out……"

"It turned out to be supported by goblins."

Dumbledore said thoughtfully.

The Shafik family has the reputation of being a pure blood, and then suddenly became rich.

Therefore, it is very simple for him to become a member of the Wizengamot.

"Rather than receiving the support of the goblins, it is better to say that he has become their puppet."

Blake corrected Dumbledore

"Goblins and wizards have never dealt with each other. They have fought before. Although the goblins lost, the wizards did not get any advantage.……"

"Now it seems that the goblins are not giving up and have even found a new way, which is to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic...the center of power for wizards."

"No one expected that these goblins would suddenly become willing to spend money."

The goblins in the past were misers.

Just like the greedy dragon guarding the treasure in fairy tales.

Now, they suddenly know how to spend money to support the puppets, which makes Blake have to look at him with admiration.

"So...the obstructionists behind this matter are those goblins...the purpose is actually to save the huge wealth of Gringotts for the Black family?"Dumbledore still found it a bit strange.

"The main instigator is indeed the goblin, and the secondary ones are some Ministry of Magic officials headed by Fudge."

"The goblins want money...as long as the last heir to the Black family is gone"

"In Gringotts, the huge wealth of the Black family became ownerless, and it naturally became the property of the goblins."

"Compared to the huge wealth of the Black family, the money spent by the goblins supporting the Shafiq family is completely worthless."

"The officials headed by Fudge were thinking about the dignity and credibility of the Ministry of Magic."

"Fudge didn't want the Ministry of Magic to be tarnished during his tenure.……"

"After all, such an unjust case will seriously affect the image of the Ministry of Magic in the eyes of the public."

"Although the person who wronged Sirius had nothing to do with Fudge."

Dumbledore listened to Black's words and read the letter Black had just given him.

Compared with the fact that the Shafiq family has become the puppets of the goblins.

Black's friend who can investigate such a secret matter is even more important. It surprised Dumbledore.

However, since Black didn't tell, it was hard for him to ask.

Who doesn't have a little secret?

"Now that we know who the enemy is, the next step will be easier."

Dumbledore handed the letter back to Black

"I will ensure that the Wizengamot trial is held on this case."

"As for finding Sirius……"

Black smiled and replied:"Sirius, I have also asked my friend to find him."

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes. He actually doubted whether the friend Black was talking about was himself.

However, again, there are some things that he cannot ask.

When children grow up, it is normal for them to have some secrets of their own.

For example... the plants that Blake secretly planted in the Room of Requirement...

Besides, Dumbledore had already decided not to interfere with Blake's freedom, lest it affect his future time travel.……

"Okay, then... leave it to you."Dumbledore said seriously.

He believed in Black because Black had never let him down.

……

When Blake left the principal's office.

Suddenly there was a hint of joy in my heart.

Because he suddenly discovered that the world did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.

It wasn't as boring as he imagined.

Goblins, vampires, the masters of Chaos Wish... and of course, those people you will encounter during time travel later.

There is so much to explore in this world.

Blake felt that a certain desire for adventure hidden in his heart was constantly surging..
