The card draw starts in Azkaban

Bertha Jorkins' ears pricked up quietly.

Did she just hear Dowey Jones' name?

These days, Bertha Jorkins moved around the various departments, gathering information.

In the past few years, Bertha has spent some time in almost all departments of the Ministry of Magic. She has few friends in these departments, but everyone is familiar with her.

An unpopular, brainless woman.

The Ministry of Magic is a department where busy people are always busy and idle people are always idle. The entire Ministry of Magic is short of staff. In some departments, a few people have to be busy to complete the work that dozens of people can do. But people like Arthur don't have

When working, he and his subordinates can sit in the office, have tea and newspapers for a month.

If, like Bertha Jorkins, you were a total wreck and did nothing, no one would say anything.

She has been relegated to the most marginalized department.

Bertha Jorkins has reached the lowest level of the Ministry of Magic.

Can no longer be evicted.

If they were to be expelled again, they would have to be thrown out of the Ministry of Magic.

The British Ministry of Magic is also an iron rice bowl. People will not be kicked out unless there is a major problem.

Although Du Wei did not give her any tasks, she consciously collected information for Du Wei. Every day, Bertha would go from this office to that office, from this department to that department, collecting all the information.

Gossip.

The Ministry of Magic has no sense of confidentiality either.

During the exchange, everyone would always spit out some secret information, and asked Bertha Jorkins to collect it, write it in a diary, wait for Duwei to come, and give it to the great Lord Duwei.

Today, Bertha Jorkins planned to come to the Legal Enforcement Department for tea, but she heard Duwei's name on the way.

When she looked up, she saw Dumbledore.

Whether it was Dumbledore or Mad-Eye Moody, they were extremely keen on the gaze. After noticing the gaze, they turned their heads and saw Bertha.

Bertha greeted Dumbledore nervously.

Dumbledore actually remembered her name.

"Bertha Jorkins, I remember you. How are you doing at the Ministry of Magic?"

Dumbledore asked. Bertha Jorkins looked very nervous and stuttered a bit, but Dumbledore didn't think there was any problem. He said a few words to her and the two of them left.

Bertha Jorkins watched the two men go.

After they disappeared from sight, she immediately slipped into several groups known for gossip, and took part in the chat with tea. Soon, Bertha Jorkins cleverly brought the topic to Dumbledore,

Immediately, this group of people revealed everything they knew.

Bertha Jorkins' mood immediately deteriorated after hearing this.

Because according to what these people said.

Soon, someone's going to deal with Dowey Jones.

This made her worried.

She thought of her "mission" and immediately called Du Wei after returning home in the evening to inform him.

Only this time, it was Sirius Black who answered the phone.

She was disappointed.

Although Sirius Black also looks handsome.

…

Auror's office, in a separate rest room.

Dumbledore and Mad-Eye Moody were exchanging information. By the way, Bob also came. He was restlessly extracting memories and putting them into the memory bottle.

In order to avoid suspicion, he also used magic to close his hearing.

In the fireplace, someone was looking for Dumbledore.

Snape's news is always much faster than the Ministry of Magic's.

Because the entire Ministry of Magic is transparent.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the wizarding world, the last organization to get the news must be the Ministry of Magic. No matter when the Ministry of Magic knows the news, all other well-informed people will probably know the news already and react to it.

Already.

When Dumbledore learned that someone had broken into the school and placed a dark magic mark, he didn't seem surprised.

If you have seen enough scenes in your life, you should know that anything can happen in this world.

Even in terms of probability, its probability is almost zero.

It doesn't affect it happening in front of you.

Dumbledore motioned to Snape to tell him everything he knew.

"It's okay, Severus, I'm listening."

he said.

However, when he found out that the intruder was Peter Pettigrew, he still had a rare expression of surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect it to be that child. Although he is a bit brave..."

Dumbledore said.

When they were talking, they did not avoid Mad-Eye Moody. Mad-Eye Moody heard that someone was placing the Mark of the Dark Lord at Hogwarts, and he could no longer hold himself back.

He was so angry that he stood up and hit the crutches. Fire really came out of his head, and he had to reach out and put out the flames.

Mad-Eye Moody did not hear about Peter Pettigrew.

Because of what he said next, Dumbledore moved his fingers slightly, blocking the perception of others.

Inside the fireplace, Professor Snape's head was still talking, but the voices of him and Dumbledore could not be conveyed at all.

Dumbledore's meaning was obvious. He knew that Peter Pettigrew had some courage, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to put the Dark Lord's mark in Hogwarts.

Snape told Dumbledore his guess, and Dumbledore looked at him gently, with Snape's shadow flashing in his crescent-shaped glasses.

That may be the light of wisdom.

"No, that's not what happened, Severus. This is a very simple conspiracy."

Dumbledore said, he was clearly looking at Snape, but his eyes had already passed through Snape and saw more things.

"Tom is not like that.

He would not do anything like this to scare the snake."

Dumbledore said to Snape.

Even as smart as Snape, he would make mistakes in judgment because of Voldemort's pressure.

Everyone is afraid of the Dark Lord. Everyone is afraid of the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord has almost become a symbol now.

A codename for death.

Not only those who were afraid of him, but even the Death Eaters mythologized him in their hearts and used their own fears to strengthen his terrifying image. Later, people even thought of him as omnipotent and like the incarnation of death.

.

Dumbledore understands their thinking.

Because people are like that too, the myth of Dumbledore.

He is called a living legend and the most powerful wizard of our time.

Dumbledore knew very well that he was still far from the most powerful wizard.

Now, he just wants to be a good person.

Therefore, in his mind, Voldemort, or Tom Riddle, is not the Dark Lord, not a symbol, nor the incarnation of death.

Dumbledore personally watched him grow up, and watched him grow from a smart orphan, to a studious student, and finally, to a murderous demon.

To Dumbledore, he was a student who had gone astray.

Dumbledore had no awe of him.

On the contrary, Voldemort is not Dumbledore's wound. Dumbledore is Voldemort's biggest shadow. Because of fear, Voldemort does not even dare to try to fight his teacher. He does not even want to know whether his teacher is better than him.

Where is the strength?

Therefore, Dumbledore can confirm that these things were not done by Tom.

If he is really resurrected, unless he summons all the people, unless he returns to the peak of magic, unless he gets the Elder Wand.

Otherwise, he would never dare and would not want Dumbledore to know his existence!

He was afraid that he would be captured by Dumbledore before he reached his peak.

So there must be someone causing trouble in these things. Judging from the effects of the show, it doesn't look like he is helping Voldemort.

He wanted to kill Voldemort.

"Funny little boy."

Following this clue to reason and investigate, Dumbledore didn't even need a minute to figure out who did the good deed.

Dowey Jones, or Sirius Black.

Judging from the time, it could only be the two of them.

Dumbledore's speculation that cut through the trouble with a sharp knife has nothing to do with the truth of the matter.

This is the logical reasoning after information transparency.

It's probably a term coined by Muggles.

Dumbledore was also very interested in Muggle things. He often discussed these things with the Muggle Studies professor at the school. When he speculated here, Dumbledore sat down and said a few words to Snape.

, told him not to be nervous, Voldemort has not returned yet.

These things should have been done by Dewey Jones.

It's more likely that he will do so.

Dumbledore was very familiar with Sirius, and it was not his style to be so roundabout here. If he wanted to deal with Voldemort, he would probably practice magic hard, and then face his enemy Voldemort in person and use magic to fight to the death.

In just a few minutes, Dumbledore speculated on the entire matter. He felt that Mad-Eye Moody was right, and Dowey Jones did have his own agenda.

But he couldn't care less about dealing with Dowey Jones now.

The most urgent thing now is Tom and Tom's Horcruxes. He wants to destroy all of Tom's Horcruxes - except Harry - before he is completely resurrected.

In any case, Voldemort is more harmful than Dewey Jones.

But Duwei Jones, he couldn't ignore it, especially when Duwei had already reached out to the school.

Dumbledore needs to be responsible for the students in the school.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore suddenly turned his head and looked at Mad-Eye Moody.

It occurred to him that there was a ready-made character here that could be used by him.

"I have a letter of appointment here. The Hogwarts campus is currently short of an administrator. The salary is good. Moody, would you like to consider it?"

Dumbledore said.

He also has an old guy he can hire.

It's just that before hiring this old guy, he needs to make an agreement with the old guy.

He needed to make sure that his old friend would not use the Unforgivable Curse unscrupulously because of his retirement.

He wanted to make sure that his old friend would not turn into an evil dark wizard in the end.

This is not alarmist.

Of the three unforgivable curses, except for the side effects of the Imperius Curse, it is slightly smaller.

The remaining two unforgivable curses have shocking side effects.

The first one is Avada Kedavra.

If you want to use Avada Kedavra to kill someone, you need two things.

The first point is sufficient magic power.

Avada Kedavra's requirements for magic power are quite high.

It must at least have the magic power of a normal adult wizard.

The second point is the malice of wanting to murder people.

It's not the anger that wants to murder someone, it's not the thought of murdering someone, it's malice.

It is real and can be turned into actual malice. The more a wizard uses Avada Kedavra, the more twisted his mind becomes. In the end, he will be like Voldemort.

He didn't regard others as human beings at all.

He is a complete devil.

As for Cruciatus, the same goes for Cruciatus. As an unforgivable curse, its nourishment is happiness. What it needs is pleasure.

Have you heard of Pleasure Crime? What is needed to cut out the bones is not your malice, your anger, or your determination to hurt others.

What "Heart-breaking" requires is the pleasure you get from torturing others. The more pleasure you feel, the more severe the harm you bring to others.

That's the case with Bella.

She takes pleasure in torturing others.

So her "Heart-cutting" is the most powerful.

Dumbledore didn't want to see an Auror who had spent his whole life capturing Death Eaters turn into the same person he had been hunting and be thrown into Azkaban.

"Very good, so I have a new job. I can throw those bastards who want to welcome Voldemort's return into Azkaban?"

Moody stretched out his hand, shook it with Dumbledore, and completed the three chapters of the agreement.

He has no problem with that.

As long as he could catch the Death Eaters, he would be happy to do any job.

Starting from tomorrow, there will be another administrator in Hogwarts. He will patrol Hogwarts like Mr. Filch.

But he won't be as gentle as Mr. Filch.

He will use all kinds of magic that students have seen and never seen to maintain the safety of Hogwarts.

Especially those followers of the Dark Lord who escaped and were not caught.
