"Arthur, according to what you mean..." Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, "This is most likely an attack directed and staged by the Ministry of Magic?"

"It's very possible." Snape nodded, and he gave a very important piece of information:

"The Dark Lord said that Potter can only be killed by him, so he does not allow others to take action against Potter. Death Eaters cannot act against the Dark Lord's will."

"But what is Fudge doing this for? What good will Harry's death do to him?" Mrs. Weasley's expression was very angry, and her voice was slightly trembling with anger.

Former Auror Alastor Moody snorted, "He just wants to use this to blackmail Dumbledore."

Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, Moody said in a rough voice, "I received a report from an informant that Fudge plans to reach out to Hogwarts."

His magic eyes were spinning in their sockets.

"He seems to be planning to send someone to Hogwarts to serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the next school year, and to intervene in the affairs of Hogwarts."

"It's not easy for Fudge to intervene in Hogwarts now," Dumbledore said softly.

Moody shook his head, "So Fudge is very likely to blackmail you with Mr. Potter's trial and force you to agree to him sending people to Hogwarts to do evil."

Listening to Moody's explanation, everyone nodded secretly. This was indeed something Cornelius Fudge could do.

After all, he is the only one in the British wizarding world who can perform such a mentally retarded operation.

Moreover, there is another big doubt about Harry's attack this time.

The fact that Dumbledore sent ANBU wizards to station at Privet Drive was considered top secret even in the Order of the Phoenix.

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix only knew that Dumbledore had sent someone else to protect Harry.

But they didn't know how many people Dumbledore sent.

If even they don't know, it's even less likely that the Death Eaters will know.

So, how did they send a manpower far exceeding the number of ANBU guards to Privet Drive just right?

The only one who can easily obtain information on the ANBU guard situation is the Ministry of Magic.

The entire British region is shrouded in the detection magic of the British Ministry of Magic, which is also a prerequisite for detection magic such as trace silk to be effective.

Through the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, Fudge could easily learn about the situation on Privet Drive.

This type of large-scale detection magic is not that accurate.

But with twenty wizards gathered together, and in a Muggle community where only one wizard, Harry, originally lived, this kind of thing could be easily detected.

Of course, it is also possible that Voldemort's power has penetrated into the Ministry of Magic.

You must know that the pure-blood family patriarchs and Death Eaters headed by Lucius all have very close contacts with the Ministry of Magic.

…

Dumbledore raised his fingers and tapped the table gently, "If he wants to send someone, just let him come."

Dumbledore had just discussed the Defense Against the Dark Arts course with Kyle not long ago.

When it comes to curse magic alone, Voldemort's accomplishments in this area are not as good as even Grindelwald, the first-generation Dark Lord who specialized in dark magic.

The two old devils had also studied together before.

In the end, they discovered that they could not lift the curse that Voldemort had placed on the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

But that doesn't mean they can't get around the curse.

They had discussed and planned to set up another course in addition to the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, similar to the Muggle art appreciation course that Kyle and the other fathers had set up.

Of course, the official name must not be as unorthodox as the Muggle art appreciation of fathers.

The official name of this new course is Duel Course, and the teaching content has a lot of overlap with the original Dark Magic Defense.

The original Defense Against the Dark Arts course will not be cancelled, it will be started as soon as a professor can be found.

If we can't recruit, we will suspend classes indefinitely.

Now Fudge wants to arrange for his henchman to be the Dark Arts Defense Professor?

Dumbledore didn't welcome it, but he didn't object either.

Fudge's willingness to send people to die was his own business. He wanted to take this opportunity to interfere in the management of Hogwarts, but his calculation was wrong.

Moody tapped the ground with the cane at his hand, "One more question. Should Mr. Potter be allowed to attend the Ministry of Magic trial on the morning of August 12th?"

After hearing Moody's words, Sirius was about to express his objection without thinking.

But Dumbledore spoke before him, "Of course I want to participate, why not? I will personally act as Harry's defender when the time comes."

Seeing that Sirius was hesitant to speak, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Dumbledore's mouth.

"Don't worry, I will bring Harry back safe and sound when the time comes."

Fudge is a decent man, and if the time comes that he is not decent, Dumbledore won't mind helping him look decent.

If he wanted to kill Fudge, there were too many ways he could use it.

Dumbledore didn't even need to use his brain. uuReading www.uukanshu.com could easily think of at least nine kinds.

Nine kinds!

It's just that Dumbledore is also a decent person, and he is not willing to adopt less than decent methods.

Of course, if that time really comes, Dumbledore will not hesitate in taking action.

After discussing Harry's matter, the meeting was declared over.

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix stood up and left the underground kitchen that served as a temporary meeting room. Only Dumbledore was still sitting there without moving.

Snape originally wanted to leave, but Dumbledore gave him a look.

Snape understood and did not leave with the others, but stayed behind like Dumbledore.

After everyone else had left, the kitchen door creaked open again.

Kyle's figure appeared at the door of the kitchen.

Originally, Kyle didn't want to come over. He had just had a very passionate outdoor battle with Voldemort with Hagrid in the vast snow-capped mountains.

This was a very tiring thing, and after the fight, Kyle immediately fell into a fit of laziness.

But after he told Dumbledore in the double-way mirror about his confrontation with Voldemort in the snowy mountains, Old Deng asked him to come over.

Seeing Kyle's arrival, a smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

He stood up and walked to Kyle's side in three steps at a time.

After checking Kyle's physical condition and confirming that he was not injured and that his magic power had not been drained like before, Dumbledore felt relieved.

He pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down."

After Kyle sat down next to him, Dumbledore asked Kyle about something they had not made clear in the double-mirror communication earlier today.
