Poisoned Eggs at Hogwarts

Hogwarts, the headmaster's room.

Dumbledore looked at the Daily Prophet on the table with calm eyes, and it was unknown to outsiders whether his heart was as calm as the expression on his face.

The front page headline of the Daily Prophet has been contracted by the news of Grindelwald's escape from prison, and everyone is arguing about who did it.

Some clapped their hands, others worried.

Most of the clapping hands were some radicals in the magic world, and most of the worried ones were some politicians from the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore picked up the newspaper and looked at the photo above, which showed an empty Grindelwald's cell.

Different from ordinary prison cells, this cell looks like an exquisite bedroom for some reason.

Judging from the decoration style in the cell, Dumbledore made a preliminary judgment about something.

Iger did it...

Besides him, who would have the leisure to renovate the prisoner's cell when he escaped from prison?

Dumbledore was very angry, and his heart was full of complications.

How did these two get mixed up?

melancholy...

Dumbledore's mental state at this time is so worrying...

But what worries him is not Iger's release of Grindelwald, but the prison-robbing style. Anyone who cares can tell who did it at a glance, damn it!

Sure enough, just as Dumbledore was thinking, Fudge, who had come all the way from the Ministry of Magic, rushed to Hogwarts. Behind the aggressive Fudge was several tall and burly Aurors.

This time, Fudge can be said to have come prepared, and the name of incriminating the teacher has been prepared, and he is waiting to occupy the moral high ground and sanction Iger.

As for how to sanction, he hasn't figured it out yet...

"Albus, I need an explanation." He rushed into the principal's office in a hurry, and Fudge yelled fiercely as soon as he entered the room.

"What explanation?" Dumbledore pretended to be stupid.

Fudge was stunned: "About Grindelwald's escape from prison..."

"So he escaped from prison and you come to ask me for an explanation?" Dumbledore looked at Fudge innocently.

"..." Fudge paused for a moment: "I feel that Mr. Morrises did this, and we also have sufficient evidence that he was near there last night. There is information that he caught a dragon in Romania at that time." .”

"We can't doubt anyone Connelly for no reason." Dumbledore muttered slowly: "The first thing you need to know is that as long as Iger is willing, he can appear anywhere in Europe at any time. We can't doubt it because of this." The crimes in Europe are all about him..."

"But this matter is different!" Fudge was very annoyed at Dumbledore's attitude of avoiding the important and neglecting the important: "Who would give a fine decoration to the cell when saving people? The one with a bedside table?"

"I know what kind of person Grindelwald is like Connelly better than you. He has always been very calm. I think this may be his own comparison." Dumbledore didn't panic at all, as steady as an old dog, It all boils down to one sentence.

I know him better than you!

what? Dissatisfied?

He was defeated by me, you said you know him better than me?

Ok, come beat me...

"I hope you can be more serious about Albus." Fudge's face was very gloomy: "It's not a matter of someone losing an owl at home, you know what the consequences will be if that person comes out..."

"What consequences?" Dumbledore was stunned: "You have to know one thing, he is over a hundred years old, what consequences can he cause? If anyone is imprisoned for decades, I think his magic level Nothing is too strong."

"But the meaning of his appearance, Dumbledore!" Fudge put his hands on the table: "You know how powerful that man's inciting power is."

"So... what does this have to do with Iger?" Dumbledore looked at Fudge cheerfully.

"We suspect... Ah... Damn it..." Fudge's face was full of anxiety: "Don't make me repeat it!"

Fudge looked terrified of Iger: "We suspect,

It was he who set Grindelwald free. "

"Motive?" Dumbledore raised his chin slightly.

"For..." Fudge's face suddenly turned pale: "For ambition, for power."

"Oh, come on, Connelly, don't think that kid thinks the same as you." Dumbledore laughed: "We all know a problem deeply. If he was willing, you would have come down from that position a long time ago." .”

Fudge looked embarrassed for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Although he understood very well, the truth was revealed by Dumbledore nakedly, and Fudge's psychology was still a bit difficult to accept.

"That only shows that he has a bigger plan, doesn't it?" Fudge gritted his teeth, his eyes widened on his wrinkled face, and he looked a little hysterical.

"Do you know Connelly..." Dumbledore looked at Fudge cheerfully: "Iger has the Sorcerer's Stone, and Iger has the Ravenclaw's crown, and he has everything you can think of , wealth, love, status, everything you can think of...it's incredible to say it, the child is only fourteen years old..."

Fudge blinked his eyes in a daze, and then saw Dumbledore's face gradually becoming serious: "What can he want from you?"

Am I... despised?

Fudge stared blankly at Dumbledore's mouth opening and closing, his head buzzing.

Think about it carefully, isn't that the case?

When a person finds that the things he pursues in his life are worthless to others, he will feel extremely lost.

It's hypocritical, it's cheap, but it's true.

Fudge's current state of mind is so empty. In comparison, Grindelwald's escape from prison is a trivial matter...

Dumbledore's words were very sharp, and he directly dismissed Fudge as a beggar-like tragic figure, which made him unable to accept it for a while.

"Can you guarantee that he didn't release him?" Fudge looked at Dumbledore blankly.

"To be honest, I can't guarantee it." Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders in a bachelor way: "But what I can guarantee is that even if he did this, it won't have any impact."

"How do you guarantee it?" Fudge fixed his eyes on Dumbledore.

"Because I can't beat him..." Dumbledore spread his hands cheerfully.

Fudge: "..."

Nima, is this good news?

Why are you smiling so happily?

"I can't beat him, which means that neither Voldemort nor...Grindelwald...they will be Iger's opponent." Dumbledore said with a sincere face: "I think... If Iger really released it, then Only because..."

"Because of what?" Fudge stared at Dumbledore breathlessly, hoping to learn about Iger's ambitions from Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's eyes were sharp: "Because I'm bored..."

Fudge: "..."

Fudge finally left with a dark face. He felt that talking to Dumbledore would be short-lived.

But even so, Dumbledore's words gave him some comfort.

Although he didn't like Dumbledore at all, Fudge knew very well that Dumbledore would never be so calm if there were any bad influences.

This is a principled person, who can be called a gentleman, or a gentleman.

But a gentleman can deceive him.

So Fudge is not worried at all that Dumbledore will defect to the enemy. Since Dumbledore has no pressure, it proves that the matter is really not that serious.
