Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1637 A war without a winner (eighty-seven)

Not long after Percy left, Kingsley finished reading the report on werewolves. He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, then completely put down the work at hand, and once again moved his gaze to the portrait of Dumbledore on the wall.

"Did you all guess that this would happen from the beginning?" Kingsley refilled himself a cup of strong tea, took a sip, and looked calmly at the old man in the portrait who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

After hearing Kingsley's inquiry, the old man in the portrait slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kingsley.

"It's such a mess." Kingsley's tone was extremely resentful, "Everyone of you is like this. Whether it's you or Albert Anderson, you just threw the mess at me. What do you want me to do? "

Dumbledore understood Kingsley's mood very well and wanted to give Kingsley some help, but he was already dead.

Now it's just a portrait.

A painting can only do so much. Even if you want to give Kingsley some advice, it may not be effective. Instead, it may disrupt Kingsley's normal thinking.

not to mention!

The dead cannot interfere with the world of the living, and Dumbledore knows this better than anyone else.

Therefore, after he was hung up by Kingsley in the minister's office, he kept silent, pretending that he was just a enchanted portrait, and did not have any communication with Kingsley.

But Kingsley seemed determined to think he could talk.

Well, maybe Albert gave him a hint.

To be honest, it was not difficult for Dumbledore to guess the reason why he was hung up here by Kingsley: it had something to do with himself.

Dumbledore threw many problems to Albert to solve during his lifetime, causing Albert to throw the problems back to him.

It's kind of a boomerang.

Honestly, it's too much to ask a dead man to get back to work.

But Albert is obviously not as helpless as Kingsley is now about a dead man. The Resurrection Stone in the Deathly Hallows is still in his hand, so Dumbledore is forced to help Kingsley solve the current mess. .

However, Dumbledore, who did not want to continue working after death, had no choice but to pretend to be dead in front of Kingsley. He planned to go to Albert another day and throw the problem back to him.

But Kingsley obviously had no intention of letting Dumbledore go easily, and kept chattering to himself there alone.

"I never thought about wiping them out completely, but they have done so many bad things and must pay a price, and everyone must be given an explanation." Kingsley was vomiting bitterness and telling his story to Dumbledore's portrait. Not easy, as well as the numerous crimes committed by pure-blood wizards who surrendered to Voldemort, they can also vent the pressure that has been accumulated in their hearts recently.

"But those guys who surrendered to Voldemort are like a group of unreasonable lunatics." Kingsley's eyes flashed with disgust, "Not only are they unwilling to appreciate it, they are also desperate like lunatics, threatening the entire British wizarding world to them. Make way, or it will all be smashed to pieces.”

"But how is that possible? Even if I am willing to compromise taking the overall situation into consideration, what about the others?" Kingsley said with a bitter smile, "Those who participated in the Second Wizarding War and survived by luck are all waiting for an explanation!"

"If the Ministry of Magic cannot give them an explanation, they will ask the dark wizards themselves for an explanation, and anyone who stands in the way must die." Kingsley couldn't help but look ugly as he recalled Albert's original words and warning. wry smile.

"You know, those bastards are actually planning to wholesale manufacture a large number of werewolves now, and they have even been doing it for a long time." Kingsley's excited tone became more and more uncontrollable, "I don't even know how to deal with this now. It’s over.”

Dumbledore looked sympathetically at his old friend who was almost losing control of his emotions. His mood was particularly complicated, because he also knew that part of it was because the other party wanted to force him to speak and help solve this big problem, but Dumbledore could give him some help. Any solution?

No, he couldn't solve anything.

Werewolves have always been a vexing problem, and there is still no good solution since ancient times.

Dumbledore also discussed how to handle this matter with Albert, but the two sides had major differences on this matter.

Because Albert's solution is to kill.

Especially when werewolves appear in danger, use black magic to kill them directly to ensure that no one will be injured and infected.

But that was undoubtedly too cruel, and it was not in line with Dumbledore's style of conduct, but he himself could not give a suitable solution.

It wasn't his turn to worry about a dead person, but Albert forced this problem to him.

Because they actually know very well in their hearts that if werewolves really start to spread because of dark wizards, killing werewolves will be the final solution.

Albert had already done it once during the Second Battle, so this time it was Dumbledore's turn to deal with it.

He suspected that this was Albert's deliberate trouble for himself, and only he could do such a thing.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Dumbledore suspected that Albert planned to use this opportunity to solve many problems at once, because now was indeed the best opportunity, and Kingsley had probably considered it as his last backup plan.

Yes.

If you can't solve the problem, get rid of the people who created the problem.

This has always been the most common solution in the world.

But that was too cruel, so Kingsley hoped to find another solution.

Unfortunately, he didn't find one yet.

He watched Kingsley open the drawer and take out a piece of parchment from it. This parchment recorded the pure-blood wizard families who had supported Voldemort, and several surnames had been crossed out.

"Sure enough, as Albert said, the Ministry of Magic wants to change, and some problems cannot be avoided anyway. It can't continue without killing and bloodshed." While speaking, Kingsley picked up two documents, looked at them carefully, crossed out another surname, and wrote their crimes next to the parchment.

"There is nothing we can do about it. We can only say that they are seeking their own death." He muttered to himself. "I'm afraid we will never encounter such a good opportunity again in the future."

As for the demise of the ancient wizard family, there is nothing we can do about it. Anyway, many pure-blood families have gradually become extinct over time.

As for whether it will offend other pure-blood families.

As long as they committed unforgivable crimes, Kingsley felt that others would agree to kill them.

This is the trend of the times!

He could only move on.

As for Dumbledore.

When the portrait chose to keep silent, Kingsley knew that he could not rely on him.
