Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"What are you talking about, Astoria?"

Daphne couldn't understand that their father was lying critically ill in St. Mungo's Hospital, and now her sister actually said such "rebellious" words.

Louis also looked at the girl with some confusion. Why did she recall going on a mission with him when her father was injured?

"Are you sure you want to do this, Miss Greengrass?"

Dumbledore's words were very serious, and he seemed to rarely address a student by his last name.

"I'm sure Professor." Astoria's eyes were firm, "I know who dad was hurt by, so I also want to contribute my own strength to this cause. It's enough for dad to have my sister by his side, not to mention that I also

Louis cannot be allowed to take risks alone."

Dumbledore was rarely silent. He had always wanted to protect the students as an elder. The reason why he did not accept the position of Minister of Magic when he was young was that he was not interested in the power struggle in the Ministry of Magic.

On the other hand, it is also out of the desire to love and protect his students that he wants to teach them all the magic knowledge he knows, and also hopes that he can protect the things he wants to protect.

But Astoria's words broke Dumbledore's understanding of these people.

If what they were facing now was Professor McGonagall, no matter how hard she tried to talk, she would never agree to go on a mission. But Dumbledore was different. He was good at using it and successfully instigated the former Death Eater.

Snape and use Harry to deal with Voldemort. From this point of view, he will not refuse Astoria's proposal.

"Okay." The old man with the white beard made up his mind and signaled Daphne to leave first. The girl looked at her sister with great confusion, and then shook her head in disappointment.

She had never thought that Louis was so powerful. Even though he won the Triwizard Tournament last year, even if he saved Astoria's life, she always believed in her bones that the Muggle-born boy would always be better than the wizard.

Inferior, even if he has put in so much effort.

As the flames went out, Daphne disappeared into the principal's office, and Dumbledore turned to look at them again.

"You should know what I want you to do, Louis."

"Is it about Hagrid?"

Lewis replied calmly that he could already guess that the only thing that Dumbledore could worry about now was Hagrid's secret mission to the giants.

"Actually, this matter was not that urgent at first. Hagrid is also protected by Madam Maxime and his life is not in danger. But Voldemort has found the general location of the thing. I'm afraid he will break through the defense set up there next.

It's just a matter of time, even if the people from the Ministry of Magic step up their efforts, it won't help, so the matter of the giants must be put on the agenda."

"You want me to get Hagrid out of the giant tribe?"

"It's not just that." Dumbledore said, "When I arranged for Hagrid to go there, on the one hand, I really wanted to win over the giants to fight for us, but this was not realistic and was not what I wanted to achieve. But on the other hand,

The giants have the secret weapon we want."

"Secret weapon?"

This time it was Louis and Astoria's turn to be surprised. They knew about the existence of the giants, but they had no idea what secret weapons they had.

"So your mission this time is more important to bring the secret weapon out of the giant tribe. Of course, the mission of rescuing Hagrid is equally important." Dumbledore added in time.

"I heard before that you have mastered the silent spell, Louis?"

"Ah, yes, but it can only be used for simple spells, but not for those complicated ones." Louis explained that he recently practiced silent spells by himself in the Room of Requirement, and the only one who knew he could do silent spells was

A member of the D.A., he didn't know how Dumbledore knew.

"enough."

Dumbledore took out a cloak from the drawer, which was dark gray in color. He spread it out until it was big enough to cover two people.

"This is the invisibility cloak. Although the effect is not as good as Harry's, it is enough to deceive ordinary giants." He explained, "I need you to sneak in. The giants have just had a coup, and the situation is extremely unstable.

Stable, the patriarch who just took office particularly hates human wizards, so you try not to be discovered by them."

Louis looked at the invisibility cloak. It was indeed similar to Harry's, but he always felt that something was missing. Maybe this was the difference between the Deathly Hallows and ordinary magic items.

Just when he was about to put the Invisibility Cloak in, Phoenix Fox suddenly issued a second warning. Dumbledore frowned and urged Louis and Astoria to stand beside him quickly.

"Dolores must have noticed that you are no longer in the dormitory. Come here and I will send you there with the door key."

He took out an old cup from the drawer, silently recited a spell, the cup flashed with light, and then lay there quietly.

"Hurry up, Louis."

He reminded, Louis took Astoria's hand, and the two quickly held the old cup. After a while, the cup on the table disappeared together with the two of them.

At the same time, the door to the principal's office was opened mercilessly, and Dolores Umbridge stood in front of him somewhat annoyed.

"Good evening, Professor Umbridge." Dumbledore sat comfortably on the sofa chair in the office, "Oh, no, I should call the Senior Investigator now."

"Dumbledore..." Umbridge interrupted him, "Students do not go to bed but wander around the campus in the middle of the night. You must know that this is a very serious matter and the Ministry of Magic will never allow this phenomenon to exist.

.”

"I know, I know." Dumbledore said perfunctorily, "I will strengthen the management of this kind of thing. Isn't it just for this matter that the senior investigator came to my office late at night? You should know what is happening in the Ministry of Magic now.

"

"That was an accident, Dumbledore." Umbridge frowned, "If you must dwell on this matter."

"The injured are the parents of the students. I need to be responsible for the students. If you have always been stubborn, I'm sorry..."

"You will regret it, Dumbledore." Umbridge snorted, "I will report this matter to the minister. The headmaster of Hogwarts ignored the safety of the students."

"Please."

In fact, Dumbledore was no longer afraid of Fudge. What he really cared about was Voldemort's actions.

Harry's nightmare seems to predict something, and what is Voldemort searching for?
