Hogwarts: I can load entries infinitely!

They had just taken Harry and Ron to the makeshift hospital in Hogsmeade.

Ron's condition seemed to be stable, probably because Harry had used a stun charm on him before committing the violence.

He lay quietly on the hospital bed, breathing steadily, but there were faint traces of panic on his face.

"I don't know if he will remember the scene when his best friend almost killed him when he wakes up..."

Devereux thought to himself, his eyes scanning Ron's face with complicated eyes.

He wasn't sure whether to be grateful for Ron's coma or worried about his impending awakening.

Harry, on the other hand, was given a potion that could suppress the production of magic power in his body, and then was tied to a hospital bed and confined to a ward.

The windows of the ward were cast under a powerful spell, preventing any possibility of escape.

At the same time, other professors at Hogwarts have noticed anomalies near the Black Lake.

The figure of the fire dragon briefly passed through the sky, causing a commotion.

But Dumbledore intervened in time and stopped the professors' intention to go deep into the Black Lake area on the grounds of "pacifying the mermaids and preventing them from being frightened."

After that, Dumbledore brought Devereaux to the principal's office.

Devereux looked around the principal's office. At this time, the flame in the brazier that had been burning had been extinguished, leaving only a bare brass brazier.

He took a gentle breath, turned to Dumbledore and said.

"Professor, let's talk about the mermaid problem first. Harry's matter... I probably know a lot about it."

Hearing this, Dumbledore raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry to respond, but tapped his fingers on his desk, as if he was weighing something.

Finally, he nodded and spoke.

"Okay, let's talk about the mermaid clan first. I think you must be very curious as to why I indulge them so much, right?"

Devereaux shrugged, a look of understanding on his lips.

"If you ask me, you must have been too polite to them before, so they are trying hard to kill us this time. I have expected this."

He paused and his tone became sharper.

"The people of Yihu have lived here in vain for so many years, relying entirely on the resources of Hogwarts for food and drink. They have raised a bunch of uncles. Professor, I can only say that you and the previous principals have been too kind to them. "

When Devereaux said this, he spread his hands with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Well, I can only lament that the moral standards of the previous professors were too high. They were so high that they didn't even look like British people."

Devereux expressed his opinions in a rapid-fire manner.

"Haha, what you said makes sense,"

Dumbledore said softly, with some tolerance and meaning in his tone.

"Actually, most of the half-orc tribes around Hogwarts live a self-sufficient life. In name, this land does belong to Hogwarts, but our attitude towards these tribes has always been We focus on protection and don’t interfere easily in their lives.”

He paused, his eyes darkened, and continued.

"Tribes like the mermaid tribe have always been regarded as key protection targets. Usually, their needs are very simple, and they have never shown a strong desire for galleons or other material wealth."

When Dumbledore said this, he leaned back on the back of the seat, crossed his hands on his knees, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

"So when they suddenly made such an outrageous request, my first reaction was that there was no way this was their idea."

Devereux was stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed, his eyes showing some confusion and surprise.

"Professor, you mean...these requests are not actually made by them for their own lives?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly, his voice steady and determined.

"That's right. When I heard them asking for Galleons, I realized something was wrong. The mermaid tribe's demand has never been money, but this time's request seemed too shrewd, and it could even be said to be incredibly organized. Puzzling.”

At this point, Dumbledore paused and looked at Devereaux with a smile.

"And they also know some news they shouldn't know, such as there is a fire dragon at the edge of the Forbidden Forest."

Suddenly Devereux scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, Dumbledore indeed knew.

"So, I chose to comply with their request first and test the real intention behind it."

He paused for a moment, as if to collect his thoughts, and then continued.

"Judging from the subsequent performance, it seems that there are other pushers behind this. The goal of these pushers is not just to intensify the conflict between the mermaids and Hogwarts, but to try to create divisions within our school, and may even... …”

Dumbledore's voice dropped, but his tone remained calm, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him.

"Their ultimate goal is to force me out of my position as principal."

Devereux's brows furrowed even more tightly. He didn't expect that the situation had become so complicated.

Dumbledore's opposition not only exists, but has infiltrated a sacred place like Hogwarts.

He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Professor, is this a political struggle? Or is there another purpose? Did Fudge do it? Is he worried that you will take his position as Minister of Magic? And why didn't he just announce the fact that there is a dragon in Hogwarts? Wouldn't it be more effective this way?"

Dumbledore raised his head slightly, and when he heard the name "Fudge", a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head, still with that gentle smile on his face.

"No, Deveraux, this has nothing to do with the position."

His tone was calm, but there was a hint of depth in his words.

"But you guessed it right, it is indeed someone from the Ministry of Magic. Their goal is not power, but to take something from me, so they don't want to drive me away by saying that there is a dragon in Hogwarts, but to defeat me...."

Deveraux's eyebrows suddenly raised, and his mind turned rapidly.

He tried to guess what Dumbledore had that would make the Ministry of Magic so eager.

Could it be the Elder Wand?

No, although that thing is powerful, Dumbledore has always been very restrained in using it, so it is impossible for it to become the focus of the conflict.

He asked tentatively.

"Professor, what do they want?"

Dumbledore's eyes deepened a little, and his voice was low, but it carried a certain unshakable power.

He slowly uttered a word.

"What they want is the only one."
