Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 455 The Source of Power

"Dumbledore!" Umbridge screamed, as if what Dumbledore was tearing up was not "Education Order 25" but her own mother's photo.

"What do you want to do? You are treason!" Umbridge yelled with a fierce look, "He is treason! He is treason! He is treason!"

Umbridge shouted at Patsy Weasley, Sito Phelps and Bartlett, who were blocking the door: "He is treason! Dumbledore is treason! You all saw it.

, He is plotting rebellion! Catch him quickly! Catch him quickly!"

But no matter how much Umbridge yelled, Patsy Weasley, Bartlett, and Sito Phelps did not take any action. They stood there with their eyes on their nose, their nose on their mouth, and their mouth on their heart.

It was as if he didn't hear Umbridge yelling.

"Haha..." Tiera sneered, "Whether I am treason or not depends solely on the attitude of you and your Ministry of Magic."

"Ms. Dolores Umbridge, where do you think your power comes from?" Dumbledore asked, "From that piece of paper-like Education Order? From Cornelius Fudge?"

"No, no, no..." Tiera said with a smile, "Power comes from violence... from the Aurors controlled by the Ministry of Magic."

"Whether it's the Muggle world or the magical world, it's the same. Only when you master strength and absolute violence can you master absolute power." Li Li said with a smile, "Basically again, other government decrees, economy, law, and public opinion are all different.

It’s just an extension of violence.”

"But with all due respect." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Even if all the Aurors in the Ministry of Magic were twisted into a rope, they would not be able to defeat me or Voldemort."

"And the reason why I allow such a rotten Ministry of Magic to exist, and the reason why I allow that fool Cornelius Fudge to sit in the position of Minister of Magic, is because the existence of your Ministry of Magic can more or less inhibit the speed of Voldemort's rise.

It will give me a lot of time to prepare." Tiera sneered and said, "So next time if you really want to implement a decree, you must either go to my office and discuss it with me, or..."

Tiera sneered and said: "Either you ask Cornelius Fudge to bring all the Aurors to talk to me, or you just teach here honestly."

"Remember, only absolute power can give rise to absolute power... Without power, you can't do anything."

After saying this, Dumbledore, or Tiera, shook his sleeves, pushed aside Patsy Weasley, Batro Caton and Sito Phelps who were blocking the door and walked out.

Dolores Umbridge was left on the spot with her face turning green and red.

After that, the entire Hogwarts suddenly became quiet, and Umbridge and Dumbledore seemed to have reached a strange balance——

Umbridge was still issuing her strange educational orders, but this time she never and did not dare to issue them in person in front of any professor or student at Hogwarts. Instead, she framed them quietly.

, and then hung high on the stone wall at the entrance to the auditorium hall.

And Dumbledore——

Although he passed by the door of the auditorium at least every Wednesday and Friday, and could see the education orders every week, Dumbledore did not seem to take them all off, but before each class

They all said sarcastically:

"I see Professor Umbridge adding new literature to our dull stone walls at Hogwarts."

Dumbledore has said so, and of course not many other students take Umbridge's educational orders seriously. There are many who violate it openly and covertly, and even do not take it seriously either overtly or covertly——

That's right, Tiera is talking about Harry, Ron, Neville, Ginny, and the other Gryffindor wizards.

The tough attitude in McGonagall's office that day seemed to encourage Gryffindor, who began to deliberately do things that violated Umbridge's education order in Dumbledore's name.

Tiera generally refers to this behavior as "debt panic".

"Can you please be more mature?" Hermione said angrily during a calculation after class, "Dumbledore doesn't want to go to war with the Ministry of Magic. This will only give Voldemort an advantage! This is called balance!"

"But if you continue to cause trouble like this, I'm afraid this balance will be broken soon!" Hermione said with hatred, "You are forcing Dumbledore to break with the Ministry of Magic, or even start a war!

"

"Then let's start the war!" Fred Weasley said with a smile, "It just so happens that I also want to practice the spells we learned recently."

"Yes, yes!" George Weasley also agreed, "I feel that now I am definitely better than those Aurors I have seen!"

"Are you deaf?" Perhaps because of too many mathematical calculations, Hermione has become increasingly irritable recently, "This balance cannot be broken. Once we declare war on the magical world, no matter whether we win or lose, we will face

It will be Voldemort’s army of Death Eaters!”

"Hermione is not entirely right." At this time, Tiera suddenly appeared in the mirror of the window.

"Ti-Tiera?" Harry growled in surprise, "Why did you show up?"

"Dumbledore asked me to tell you something," Tiera said, "Stop provoking Umbridge openly."

"Wha, what?" George and Fred Weasley said in surprise, "Why?"

"Don't worry." Tiera smiled and said, "Dumbledore meant to humiliate her."

"Humiliate her?" Hermione asked in confusion, "Why humiliate her? What is Dumbledore planning?"

"Of course Dumbledore has his own plan for doing all this." Tiera said inscrutably, "Except for Umbridge, the individuals around him, except for Patsy Weasley, want to humiliate them.

…”

"Why?" Hermione asked in confusion, "What are the benefits of doing this? Wouldn't it destroy the balance? If Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic went to war, wouldn't it give Voldemort the upper hand?"

"Dumbledore doesn't care," Tiera said. "To be precise, the war between us and the Death Eaters cannot be considered a war... but a wizard's chess game."

"Wizard's chess?" Hermione asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"King versus king, versus general." Tiera said, "The Death Eaters group is not a fully functional organization. The cohesion of the Death Eaters is entirely composed of Voldemort's personal power and reign of terror. Dumbledore versus

Voldemort, as long as Dumbledore can defeat, capture, or even kill Voldemort, he can completely disintegrate the cohesion of the Death Eaters. Except for a very small number of die-hard elements, most of the Death Eaters will even immediately turn around and help us.

against their former colleagues."

"Then what does this have to do with us continuing to provoke Umbridge?" Hermione asked in confusion.

Of course it doesn't matter.

Tiera said in her heart, I just hope that Umbridge and her other two followers will never forget the "God Becoming Gift Package" I hid in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, and never sell it after getting it——

Use it yourself.
