Hogwarts: What bad intentions could a little badger have?

Because it was a straight flight and there was no stop on the way.

So, Black and his team returned at a speed dozens of times faster than when they went there.

After more than a month of traveling on the sea, it only took a few hours to return.

However, since everyone wanted to experience more of the journey in the air.

So, Black had to reduce the speed to the maximum.

Two days later, the Black Pearl finally returned to the temporary port where it started.

After saying goodbye to Black, the girls left one after another.

As for the Delacour sisters, who were the farthest away, Black used the dimensional gate to send them back directly.

When only Nagini and Rebecca were left around, Black put the Black Pearl back into the glass bottle.

There was no way. If Babel saw this, she would pester him again to ask about the principle.

After clearing the traces of the temporary port, Black returned to Godric's Hollow.

What surprised Black was that Dumbledore was actually at home.

And it seemed that he had been at home for a while.

This was not common in normal times. Dumbledore was always busy and rarely went home even during holidays.

Dumbledore was wearing loose home clothes and was lying on a comfortable sofa recliner reading a book.

When he heard the door open, he looked over the top of his half-moon glasses and looked at the door.

"Welcome home, Black, Nagini, Rebecca. I think it's time for you to come back. After all, you won't miss the Quidditch World Cup at the end of the month." Dumbledore put down the book and said softly.

The three of them said hello to the old headmaster.

Although Rebecca already knew the relationship between the headmaster and Black, she was still a little restrained when she saw the headmaster again.

Seemingly seeing Rebecca's nervousness, Nagini took her hand and went back to the "0303303" room with her.

There was plenty of room for Black and Dumbledore to talk.

"Professor, to be honest, I was a little surprised to see you go home." Black sat on the sofa and told the truth.

"I feel ashamed to hear you say this, Black... because it made me realize how irresponsible I am." Dumbledore said guiltily.

He has been busy all the time. After adopting Black, he had some time to accompany Black at the beginning, and then he became busy again.

Most of the time, Black stayed at home alone, and most of the time he was much more lonely than in the orphanage.

Fortunately, Black was not an ordinary child. After a series of events, this deserted home was miraculously lively again.

"It's nothing, professor. With great power comes great responsibility. Many things cannot be done without you. For example, the World Cup final later." Because he had alreadyDumbledore was warned in advance, so he didn't hide it.

"I went to see Nico about this matter, and his prediction was similar to what you reminded me. That day will indeed be very turbulent..." Dumbledore frowned. "After learning the prophecy, I went to see Fudge... But for some reason, he didn't take my opinion seriously..."

Black smiled and said, "This is also expected. I heard that Minister Fudge has always been very averse to others saying that he obeys you."

"You even know this." Dumbledore said helplessly. He had also heard about this rumor, but... he always thought that he was helping Fudge by giving advice. It's just that he didn't expect... that the other party would view his help in this way.

"People are like this a lot of times. Before they have suffered, most of them like to stick to their own opinions. People can never teach people as well as things can teach people." Black comforted Dumbledore.

"It seems that I made the right choice to hire you to return to Hogwarts as a professor." Dumbledore said with relief.

"Professor, I will do my best." Black expressed his determination, and then he said: "Professor, you have been at home all these days, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, and I am also waiting for the World Cup to start..." Dumbledore took off his glasses and wiped them, "Cornelly didn't take it seriously, so I had to help him... For the safety of people, I had to do this."

Black touched his nose, "Professor, you asked me to help you, in fact, you want me to help control Professor Grindelwald so that he won't mess around, right?"

"You guessed it..." Dumbledore sighed, Black's intelligence always amazed him.

"Yes... Minister Fudge doesn't take you seriously. No matter how strong you are, you are still weak. So you have to find someone to help you. But the number of people in the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not enough... So it seems that there are only Professor Grindelwald and his people."

The people under Grindelwald are numerous and idle. This is why Grindelwald was so generous when Black asked him to borrow people...

There is no doubt that Dumbledore, who is at his wits' end, has to find Grindelwald, whose reputation has improved. This is an adventure, and of course, it is also a test for Grindelwald by Dumbledore.

It's fine if Grindelwald is unwilling to help. If he takes the opportunity to fan the flames or plot something... then Dumbledore will throw Grindelwald into prison again.

"I'll let him help." Black said.

"Whether he comes or not, I have other ways. The most important thing is... don't let him make the same mistake again." Dumbledore frowned.

A Voldemort hiding in the dark is hard enough to deal with. If Grindelwald comes, the world will be doomed.

"Yeah. I understand." Black nodded. "I'll write to him right away."

Even Black himself didn't have the confidence to believe that Grindelwald, a former ambitious man, would never cause trouble again. Not to mention Dumbledore, who had fought with him for so many years.

...

The days passed by.

The day of the World Cup was getting closer and closer.

In addition to discussing alchemy with Dracula, Black was now teaching Rebecca some magic knowledge every day.

Because Dumbledore had been at home all these days, he often came to help teach Rebecca, who was eager to learn.

After getting along for a long time and knowing Dumbledore's easy-going personality, Rebecca was finally not so restrained in front of the old headmaster.

During this period, Sirius came several times to visit Rebecca. After seeing that Rebecca was living well with Black, he was completely relieved.

Dumbledore took the opportunity to tell Sirius that there might be trouble in the World Cup.

Black guessed that Dumbledore wanted to pass the news to Amelia through him.

Sirius did not disappoint Black. When he visited Rebecca for the last time, Amelia came with him.

During this period, Amelia was worried about the Lestranges' escape from prison. She had been looking for their traces.

Even Sirius was temporarily hired by her as a non-staff member to help her...

This is why Sirius has been busy recently.

So, after hearing that the Lestranges might cause trouble at the World Cup final, Amelia came to visit in person to get more information.

Dumbledore personally received Amelia, and the two talked for more than an hour before sending Amelia away.

If Blake is not mistaken, if Grindelwald does not come to help, then Amelia is Dumbledore's backup.

The old members of the Order of the Phoenix, plus some of Amelia's subordinates, should be barely enough in terms of numbers. However, Blake thinks that this backup should only be icing on the cake.

Because after he communicated with Grindelwald, he knew that although the old guy Grindelwald was unforgiving, he would definitely come to help that day.

Even if he had any ambitions, he would not have any crooked thoughts on that day. Because of Voldemort's existence, whether Grindelwald has become better or is still the same ambitious man, it is intolerable. It is better for such a madman to disappear quickly, this should be Grindelwald's idea.

Because even if he has ambitions, he wants to get a complete world, not a ruin... and Voldemort is definitely the madman who is good at creating ruins.

……

That day, Black packed up and went out with Nagini and the others. Because three days later, it was the World Cup final.

Because Black and the others did not plan to use the portkey, they did not set out until now.

Black heard from Ginny that his family had already set up camp a week ago.

This time, Dumbledore also set off with him.

A few days ago, Grindelwald cursed and sent another ticket to Black after hearing that Dumbledore was also going.

At the critical moment, Grindelwald would not let down the chain.

The Black family carried the magic tent and directly used the dimension gate to come to the camp.

Then Black saw the unlucky Muggle administrator...

Black always felt sorry for this administrator. Basically, someone would cast a forgetfulness spell on him every once in a while...

This made him dizzy all day long. There is no doubt that such frequent spells have brought him serious sequelae.

But none of the wizards cared about this matter...

Besides, the sequelae of the Forgetting Curse were fine. After the World Cup, the Death Eaters rioted and tortured his family to death...

"You reserved Camp No. 17..."

In the duty room of the line manager, the Muggle administrator said numbly.

"Thank you."

After Black paid the money, the Muggle administrator turned around and lay back on the bed in the duty room. He always felt very sleepy recently, as if he could not get enough sleep...

After Black saw him close his eyes, he gently snapped his fingers.

Then the Muggle fell into a deep sleep immediately.

Dumbledore saw Black's actions, "Were you treating that Muggle just now?"

"Yes... the excessive amount of forgetfulness spells has caused him sequelae. If he is left alone, his memory will be greatly reduced in the future, and he may suffer from Alzheimer's disease in a few years..."

"The Ministry of Magic has been preparing for a whole year, but it has turned out like this... I am actually quite disappointed..."

Black thought he would not do such an act of ignoring the lives and health of innocent people...

"There is no way to deal with the shortage of manpower. We will compensate him later." A voice came from behind Black and his friends.

Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a serious face and a group of people coming over.

When Black saw Percy Weasley beside him, he knew who this person was.

Director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department, Barty Crouch.

It was Percy who spoke just now. Old Barty just glanced at Black, then turned around and shook hands with Dumbledore, and then exchanged pleasantries.

Percy glanced at the sleeping Muggle and couldn't help but frowned.

"Black, you let this Muggle fall asleep, who will do the work after that?"

Black also frowned, "Percy, this person has almost reached his limit. If you continue to use the Oblivion Charm, the damage to his body will be very great, and it may even cause inability to recover.The sequelae of reversal. "

"Didn't I just say that? As long as the World Cup is over, we will compensate him." Percy said impatiently.

"Compensation? What compensation?"

"After this event, he can get five or six times more salary than before. I think this compensation is enough." Percy replied impatiently. "Let him wake up quickly, and there will be many people coming to camp later."

"Percy, do you know? If he continues like this, he will not be able to enjoy this money... and, does he know what kind of price he will pay for this five or six times salary treatment?" Black did not give in.

Of course, the Muggle didn't know, he didn't even know that he was working for the wizards, otherwise, he wouldn't have been hit by a forgetfulness spell in a few minutes.

Percy said angrily: "Black, this is the work of the Ministry of Magic, please don't interfere. ”

“The Ministry of Magic cannot disregard the safety of innocent lives. He is not a wizard and has no obligation to pay such a price for the Ministry’s affairs. Moreover, as an honorary healer of St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, I cannot sit idly by and watch any patient’s condition deteriorate. ”

In response to Percy’s threat, Black did not choose to back down, but to confront him head-on.

On the one hand, Black felt sorry for the Muggle, and on the other hand, he disliked Percy.

This guy is an official fan. Anyone who has read the original book knows what he did to become an official in the Ministry of Magic.

Although he finally came to his senses, at least Percy is really annoying now.

Percy had noticed that old Barty was looking over here, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

If I can’t even handle this little thing, will Mr. Crouch think I’m useless? And then he won’t pay attention to me anymore?

Thinking of this, Percy 0.2 forced himself to get rid of Black, the thorn.

“I said, we are short of manpower…”

Black sneered, “Short of manpower? Then why not recruit volunteers? ”

“The Quidditch World Cup is a tournament that attracts worldwide attention. It’s not that easy to recruit volunteers to do these peripheral tasks!”

“You have a full year to prepare. Even if you don’t recruit volunteers, you can just hire another wizard to temporarily replace the Muggle’s job. You don’t even need to pay him five or six times the salary.”

“But you still chose the stupidest and most irresponsible approach. Let a Muggle manage the camp and then use the Oblivion Charm every day... In fact, if you have time to use the Oblivion Charm, why don’t you do something else?”

“I even suspect that you are so short of manpower because you have too many useless things like using the Oblivion Charm.”

It took a full year to prepare for this... Black was really disappointed.

Percy was speechless after being scolded by BlackAs he spoke, his face turned redder than his hair.

Suddenly, old Barty came over and stood in front of Black, staring straight at his face.

After a long while, he said coldly: "If you have any opinions, you can write to the Ministry of Magic, but now, don't interfere with the work of the Ministry of Magic. The work of the Ministry of Magic is not as simple as hiding in the room and writing two papers casually..."

"Oh? How difficult is it? Is it harder to use the Oblivion Charm on a Muggle than to get two Order of Merlin First Class Medals?" Black interrupted old Barty directly.

Black was a little disgusted with old Barty. If it weren't for old Barty's strong desire for power, young Barty would not have regarded Voldemort as his father and went astray.

Because he was unhappy, Black directly started to fight. .
