Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

　　 "Treatment? Restoration?"

　　 Grindelwald raised his head and looked at Elena with interest.

"In my opinion, it's not that troublesome. A simple Imperius Curse can solve the problem. As for the Ministry of Magic, haven't you deduced it many times a long time ago? With your current force, you can completely destroy it unexpectedly. they."

　　 "But..."

　　 Grindelwald exchanged glances with Dumbledore and continued speaking slowly.

"And then? Have you figured out how to establish a government on the ruins, what the future of the magical and non-magical worlds should look like, how should the operation of various sectors of the industry... Of course, there is the most important thing. One point, how should those opponents who have not been destroyed by you deal with them, chase them in every corner just like expelling Hu Meizi—"

　　 "The Forgotten Curse is not a panacea. The most important thing is that it does not solve the problem-it just delays the problem."

　　 "Then what do you think is the solution to the problem, Professor Apocalis?"

　　 Elena frowned, turned her head to look at the old demon behind her.

She originally expressed Grindelwald ambiguous about her idea of ​​using Umbridge, and Dumbledore would hesitate or oppose it. However, from the current situation, it is Mr. Principal who is ambiguous and Grindelwald is determined. Opposition.

　　 "Oh, it's easy—"

　　 The original Dark Lord slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

　　 "There is nothing to do, don't you understand? Ms. Umbridge has already done it for us."

　　 "What do you mean? Don't you think this is inconsistent?"

　　Elena stared at Grindelwald tightly, and asked softly, a little confused

"I think you should know that if you allow these two letters to be sent smoothly, the Ministry of Magic will react: Umbridge will get more voice and freedom at Hogwarts, and more What’s worse is that Quirinas Quirrell faces the risk of being arrested by surprise—if he falls into the hands of the Aurors, it’s easy to show up..."

　　 "Oh, yes, this is indeed a very big problem."

　　 Grindelwald nodded approvingly and turned his head to Dumbledore not far away.

"Albus, would you allow the Aurors to rush into Hogwarts and arrest your teacher on unnecessarily charges? By the way, curiously ask, if a wizard is found to be illegally holding the'Muggle Killing Curse' This kind of contraband, what will usually be done."

　　 "Of course not. After all, I am so old, they will respect the elderly to some extent."

　　 Dumbledore blinked flexibly and said thoughtfully.

"As for illegal possession of firearms, this is indeed a problem. If we follow Wiesengarmo's approach, this kind of behavior will usually go to the court for trial-but there are two small description errors here. First, the holder must If there is a willingness to attack, or some dangerous attacking actions have been made, then we will be punished for the crimes of'possession of dangerous goods' and'attempted murder'..."

　　 "However, before that, there is a more important place..."

　　 Dumbledore glanced at Elena, sighed helplessly, and said with an open hand.

"This wizard must be'illegal' to hold firearms. If there are laws and regulations that agree to this, then even if the Ministry of Magic intends to arrest people with this, then the first thing to arrest is the suggestion and consent to his possession. People—Miss Kaslana just reminded me that the person who approved Professor Quirrell’s firearms seemed to be the principal of Hogwarts."

　　 "But you can't tell the Ministry of Magic for this reason?! The research institute and its senior members are equipped with guns..."

　　 Elena's brows tightened, her eyes wandering between the two old wizards.

　　 The two old men seemed to have reached a strange understanding, but she hadn't figured out what was going on for the time being.

　　 "Why can't you tell them? This is a very reasonable and legitimate thing."

　　 Dumbledore asked a little strangely, and helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Miss Kaslana, do you think that some shady illegal acts are taking place? Hogwarts is a magic school set up to pass on knowledge, research knowledge, explore education methods... These are originally school duties. If some Muggle knowledge can help us train students better, why can't it be introduced generously?"

　　 "The Ministry of Magic and the International Wizarding Federation are so easily persuaded? I thought it was a felony to violate the secrecy law."

　　 Elena wrapped her arms around her chest, her tone full of banter and sarcasm.

If it were as simple as Dumbledore said, Grindelwald would not have started a wizarding war decades ago. Although his ideas at the time were mixed with many other things, the "Secrecy Act" was definitely an important fuse. .

　　 "There is a certain degree of difficulty, but after some results are produced, it may be easier accordingly."

　　 Dumbledore replied patiently with a gentle smile.

"Now Hogwarts has math and grammar classes, and the new theory of metamorphosis is also closely linked to Muggle knowledge. On the other hand, the research and development of magical cold medicine is about to advance to the industrial stage-besides this. , I heard that you have also initiated a lot of interesting new topics over there, most of which are magic research directions that we have not tried before..."

　　 "So you plan to take this opportunity to showdown directly and bet on the other side's attitude?"

　　 Elena said suspiciously, looking at Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

This is not a multiple-choice question that you will not be able to do during the exam. Just pick a correct answer. If the worst situation occurs, then there is a high probability that the third wizarding war will directly start. This is not a joke. thing.

　　 Maybe Grindelwald might become a radical, but Dumbledore has no reason to go crazy with him.

　　 "It's not all at once, it's just a little bit of careful notification..."

　　 Grindelwald shook his head, correcting Elena's description.

"Compromise forced by helplessness is more authentic than active cooperation. Whether it is the official of the Ministry of Magic or Quirinas Quirrell, we have to make those outside think that they have the initiative. Quan, all information is a precious victory that they have forced step by step... Besides, haven't you proved it once before?"

　　 The Dark Lord who retreated to the second line took out a Jin Jialong with Hogwarts Castle printed on the back and played with it.

"Compared with upholding justice and following fairness... People will only explode with the purest and strongest motivation and emotion when they protect their possessions-since you want to change the world, why not let them think that the world is them? my own."

　　 I have to admit that the shocking financial scam last semester was an eye-opener for the old devil.

Since then Grindelwald has truly admitted that a certain little witch who has just turned twelve is already on the same level as herself in terms of danger, and her talent in capital manipulation is even more of an era-just by one. The old title deed almost overturned the entire magical world, and also ruled the Gringa, which even he couldn't do back then.

　　 And what shocked Grindelwald the most was the subsequent trial, which may be the most just group of gangsters in history.

　　 However, Elena obviously did not hear the voice of an old demon at this time.

　　 "So, what do you mean...you plan to send the research institute directly to the officials of the Ministry of Magic?"

　　 Elena narrowed her eyes and snorted noncommittal.

"It's only the right to supervise and the right to know. These things are just a word of effort... The subsequent research process and topic selection are not up to you. In terms of how to fool and package the purpose, ten Albus also Not as good as you."

　　 In Dumbledore’s wry smile, Grindelwald did not hesitate to choose a comparative rhetoric.

　　 "Besides, even if the Ministry of Magic officials want to intervene in the research process, they don't have the ability—"

　　 "Where is Professor Quirrell? What are you going to do..."

　　 Elena waved her hand, interrupted the old Tudou's verbose explanation impatiently, and asked quickly.

"I have considered these things, such as naming, transferring profits, and decentralizing powers. If Professor Dumbledore and you think that the time is ripe now, then proceed according to your ideas. Anyway, you are going to communicate with the officials of the Ministry of Magic. . But it will still return to the starting point of all events, what about Quirinas Quirrell?"

　　 "Well, don't you suspect that he may be a leaker?"

　　 Grindelwald cut out his ears carelessly and said with a grin.

"Regardless of whether he has leaked the secrets or not, but his behavior clearly caused trouble to our'little empress', then he deserves to be punished. Anyway, at most it is going to court to go through the process. It's not a big deal-anyway. There is also the golden emblem wizard head of Wisengamao on the side, not to mention Azkaban, there may not even be a fine by then..."

　　 "Gail, Wiesengamao is not my word for words, and there will be a jury vote at that time."

　　 Dumbledore couldn't help but interrupt. Under Grindelwald's description, he almost became a dark lord.

　　 He groaned for a few seconds, his expression gradually became serious, and frowned heavily.

"Elena's previous concerns do have some truth, and there are only two defenses I can think of: One is Quirinas' current status at Hogwarts-Muggle Studies professors are somewhat exceptions; And the other is the special funds of the Institute that has been reviewed by the Ministry of Magic before, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, but this will inevitably expose Quirinas..."

　　 "In the process of fighting against the Dark Lord, unfortunately, he was cursed and lost his magic power and turned into a dumb cannon."

　　 Elena suddenly spoke, putting her finger on her lips, and whispering thoughtfully.

"On the one hand, it can continue to strengthen Voldemort’s terrifying image in the magical world. Compared to Avada’s life, this unknown curse is obviously more vicious. It will arouse the anxiety of all wizard families-and on the other hand, if We first took this opportunity to let the public know about Professor Quirrell’s condition, and after a while we found a way to have a chance to cure him..."

　　 The blue eyes of the girl's lake crossed with Grindelwald's gaze, flashing with amazing brightness.

"Professor Dumbledore, I don’t know if the magic world has counted-how many dumb cannons in human society over the years? I believe that any wizard family will be extremely hopeless and helpless when they discover that their child is a dumb cannon. ."

　　 "If, I mean, if... At this time, they can see such a glimmer of hope..."

　　 Elena stood up and walked to the edge of Fox's bird stand, skillfully grabbing a handful of small fish and picking it in her hand.

"As for Umbridge, it's okay to let her inflate. I have already figured out another reason to stimulate her and the Ministry of Magic-if she has been lurking in the castle so low-key, it will not help us accept the legacy of the Ministry of Magic. The wreckage, but..."

　　 She casually poured the underfilled little fish back into the bird trough, and glanced at Dumbledore who was smiling wryly.

　　 "Professor, you may have to feel wronged, and Professor Quirrell also..."
