Karkaroff, like Dumbledore, was a little annoyed.

But at first glance, no one here was easy to mess with. Now that he was asking for help, he could only look at Tver with resentment.

Sensing the message in his eyes, Tver had no choice but to put aside his mood.

“We should still be concerned about the Dark Mark. After all, Principal Karkaroff wanted us to pay attention to this aspect when he brought it up.”

“Ha,” Moody glanced at Karkaroff, who looked embarrassed, “I brought him and Snape here. The two of them had originally discussed escaping from Hogwarts, or even England!”

Snape frowned in displeasure, as if he didn’t like Moody comparing himself to Karkaroff.

“Don’t put me and this coward together. It was he who came to find me at that time, and it was he who came up with the idea of ​​​​escape!”

Tver looked helplessly at his former principal.

“And where are you going to hide? Back to Durmstrang?”

Karkaroff lowered his head in embarrassment when discussing such an embarrassing matter in front of his students.

“Durmstrang is too obvious. I plan to stay away from Europe and running to Africa or Asia is the most suitable.”

“However, I was just panicking at the time,” he quickly raised his head to emphasize, “Now I think clearly, if the Dark Lord really hates me, I will be found even if I hide in Antarctica!”

“You are very self-aware,” Moody patted his shoulder mockingly, startling him. “Let me tell you another good news. The mysterious man will not hate you to the extent.”

“But the Dark Lord will not let me go…” Karkaroff’s face suddenly darkened.

As a former Death Eater, he knew very well what kind of strength the Dark Lord had and how he tortured people.

If it really fell into the hands of the Dark Lord, he might as well just kill himself!

Tver shook his head in confusion.

“I don’t understand why you would want to leave the safest Hogwarts and run to an unfamiliar place?”

“Yes!” Karkaroff’s eyes lit up.

“With you and Dumbledore here at Hogwarts, even the Dark Lord can’t break through here!”

He looked at Dumbledore earnestly, “Albus, you are still short of a headmaster, aren’t you? Are you also short of a professor?”

“…Aren’t you the principal of Durmstrang? What do you mean by going to Hogwarts to be a professor?” Dumbledore said helplessly.

“The principal’s life is not important, right?” Karkaroff said with a smile on his face.

“And in less than half a year, the Triwizard Tournament will be over, and Durmstrang will be embarrassed to stay here any longer.”

“I have to think about my survival in three months, right?”

“…”

Dumbledore was left speechless by Karkaroff’s scoundrel.

“Well, Alastor, you go ask Minerva and see if there are any vacancies in the teaching position at the school.”

“Severus, I remember that there are not many empty offices in the castle. Please take him to see where there is a suitable place.”

“If you plan to stay at Hogwarts after the game is over, then live there.”

Moody and Snape both showed disgusted expressions, but seeing Dumbledore’s insistent look and listening to Karkaroff’s urging muttering, they sighed and led him out of the office.

Tweel watched this scene with cold eyes. Although he did not say anything about this arrangement, he still cast doubtful eyes on Dumbledore.

As Karkaroff said, there are still several months before the Triwizard Tournament, so it would be inappropriate to prepare a teaching position and room for him so early.

So, is this a deliberate attempt to distract them?

Sure enough, as soon as they left, the smile on Dumbledore’s face disappeared immediately.

“Tver, what do you think of Karkaroff?”

“Shrewd, but only a little clever. He has strength, but does not have the courage to match his strength. To a certain extent, in the war years, he is no more useful than Peter Pettigrew.”

Tver did not save face for his former principal, but gave him an extremely objective evaluation after seven years of getting along with him.

Of course, this does not mean that Karkaroff’s ability is worse than Peter’s. In this regard, as the principal of Durmstrang, he can still crush most ordinary wizards.

It’s just that when it comes to key issues, especially those involving his own safety, he always chooses to foolishly escape, which results in his failure to have any effect.

For example, if faced with the aggressive Voldemort, Peter might still use his weak strength to resist, but Karkaroff would definitely use his own cleverness to hide behind the scenes and escape!

Therefore, Tver is not interested in winning over Karkaroff.

Not interesting at all.

Dumbledore was not surprised when he heard this comment. Judging from his actions just now, he also realized this.

“I was still thinking about letting Karkaroff lurk with Voldemort, but now it seems that he is more likely to betray us.”

“Are you addicted to arranging spies? Do you think Snape and Peter are not enough?” Tweel looked at Dumbledore strangely.

“Of course it’s not enough, that’s Voldemort.” Dumbledore couldn’t help but laugh, and felt that his behavior was a bit funny.

I was actually subtly influenced by Tver. When doing things, I always think of leaving a secret here and hiding a trap there. I always want to achieve multiple things with one stone when planning!

“But you just said, war years? Do you also think that war will definitely happen again?”

“It should be said that Voldemort will definitely start a war.” Tver responded to Dumbledore calmly, trying not to let a smile appear on his face.

But Dumbledore didn’t pay attention to his expression. In fact, after asking his question, he fell into memories.

“I have experienced two generations of Dark Lords, Grindelwald and Voldemort, but do you know why? Although Grindelwald is more provocative, wizards are actually more afraid of Voldemort?”

The sudden change of topic made Tver stunned for a moment.

“Is it because the teacher mainly targets Muggles, and Voldemort is trying to fix Muggle-born and half-blood wizards as the lower class?”

Dumbledore chuckled, not paying attention to Tweel’s avoidance of Grindelwald.

“That’s right! The panic caused by Voldemort is far greater than that of Grindelwald. Every time his Dark Mark appears in the sky, it means that a wizard, often no less than one, has died in their hands.”

“Tver,” he looked at Tver firmly, “I don’t know what threat Muggles pose.”

“But Voldemort is what we are about to face!”

Turville knew what Dumbledore meant.

As long as it was not excessive, based on the harm Voldemort had caused to wizards in the past, he could temporarily ignore some of Tweel’s and the teacher’s small actions.

Tver is actually not opposed to this idea.

As Voldemort became more and more crazy, he did not want to see the wizard’s power suffer too much damage.

After all, a healthier magical world was what he wanted.

This is also the reason why Tver has always tended to use more peaceful methods to win over wizards.

“You can rest assured that I don’t want to see the wizards get hurt either.”

After receiving Tweel’s assurance, Dumbledore finally showed a smile.
