While Fudge would cause some trouble, neither was too worried.
They knew what the man who was blinded by power wanted, and they were familiar with it.
"Despicable means."
Dumbledore's gaze flicked past the boy's phantom, and he turned to look out the window.
The night is dark and dull, making people unable to see the thick clouds in the sky, but sometimes "not seeing" is itself a kind of "seeing".
If the clouds want to hide themselves, they must first make people invisible to the moon and stars.
And this kind of hiding will instead expose the existence of the cloud layer.
But what is the purpose of Peter doing this?
The two were thinking quietly, but couldn't catch a clue for a while.
Peter is good, but he is not outstanding in the circle of professors at Hogwarts. Even if Dumbledore leaves temporarily, there are still many people in the school who can defeat him.
Moreover, the main purpose of Voldemort's coming to Hogwarts this time is to obtain the anchor point for Hecate's arrival.So the main target is Aini, why did Dumbledore get involved?
Presumably, both Peter and Tom should be very clear that even if Dumbledore leaves Hogwarts, it is impossible for them to subdue Aini and force him to find out the location of the torch.
Is it...
An idea faintly came to Aini's mind, but before he could figure out why, with a clear cry, two soft balls of hair stuck into his arms.
Well, a cat dumpling and a feather dumpling.
"The little furball is getting fat again, Fox, just get used to it."
Holding the two cubs close to her face, Aini took off a piece of sawdust from the phoenix's wing.
Since Filch pinned his hope of curing Mrs. Norris on him, Mr. Administrator, who already liked cats, became more enthusiastic about Tom.
Under the support of an unlimited amount of secret dried fish, Tom's waistline has steadily increased, especially since the beginning of autumn this year, his stomach can almost drag the floor.
In desperation, Aini had no choice but to give Jerry the small dried fish and other snacks that Filch sent, and let him lock it up and feed it rationed every day.
As a result, Mao Mao got Fox's sympathy somehow, and often cooperated with him to "accidentally" break the cabinet during play. The barrier set by Jerry can stop Tom, but he uses the natural "breaker" characteristic. Phoenix has nothing to do.
But once in a while, although he ate a lot, he exercised more, which interrupted Tom's transition to a bantam.
Little clever ghost.
Aini pampered Tom's little nose, and suddenly froze.
The cat, who was enjoying the master's caress, shook its ears in dissatisfaction, why did it stop suddenly after stroking?
"Albus, maybe we're wrong. Maybe it wasn't Peter's purpose to get you away, or that wasn't his main purpose."
Aini rubbed his two little heads gratefully, got up and walked to Dumbledore.
Whether in the previous life or today, Dumbledore is an extremely dazzling existence.
The magic world is recognized as the strongest white wizard in existence, the lawful person who defeated Grindelwald, the person Voldemort fears the most...
There is no doubt that this is a very important figure, especially for Hogwarts.
Just like when someone spilled the teacher's tea at school, everyone would often guess whether he had a problem with the teacher, but they would not think that the person just wanted to cause some trouble for the students on duty.
So when the matter involved Dumbledore, both of them subconsciously thought that he was the one being targeted, but in fact, maybe forcing the old headmaster away was just a side effect, or it would bring disaster to Chi Yu.
"Search. Once the matter is publicized, the Ministry of Magic will definitely take the opportunity to send personnel to investigate Hogwarts. At that time, Peter can follow behind to fish in troubled waters."
The more he said, the more certain Aini's tone became.
There are many rumors about Hogwarts. The phrase "No one can understand all the secrets in the castle, including its founder" is even more talked about by young wizards. A source of joy that has been recorded in thick ink.
A high-intensity blocking barrier consumes a lot of money, and it is too cost-effective to use it as a conventional protection. It will occupy a lot of shares allocated to other departments, such as potions, greenhouses, and so on.
Since the establishment of the school, countless wizards have tried to figure out the distribution and transformation rules of the castle's secret passages, in order to isolate the inside and outside and provide a safer teaching environment for children.
Among them, there are many polymaths like Dumbledore who are enough to be labeled "great" in their era.
However, those who travel hundreds of miles are half ninety, at most 99, and the lack of Slytherin authority has erected an insurmountable barrier between them and success.
After thousands of years, no one has ever been able to count exactly how many secret passages Hogwarts has and how many hidden spaces there are.
Don't look at how Peter explored many secrets with the looters when he was in school, and even made the Marauder's Map, which is a treasure in the eyes of the twins. Voldemort knows the castle very well, and dug out the inheritance of Slytherin from the pile of old papers. But for Hogwarts, it's nothing more than that.
It has been more than two months, and the progress of finding Hecate's torch is still zero. Perhaps Voldemort's patience is almost exhausted, so he decided to lure the Ministry of Magic into the arena at the risk of being exposed.
Although it is impossible for those investigators to know more about Hogwarts than the two of them, the Ministry of Magic has a complete investigation process.
Although the use of Legilimency and Veritaserum was restricted, this incident was so bad that even Dumbledore could not refuse the investigators to use the contract questionnaire legally.
Of course, they can't ask questions unrelated to the incident, but it's reasonable to just ask about the trajectory of activities since the start of school for investigation.
For Peter, enough is enough.
So what if you can't control all of Hogwarts' hidden spaces?He only needs to know where Aini has been. Even if he can't directly find Hecate's torch, at least he can get some clues, which is much better than running around like headless chickens now.
The two great wizards are extremely smart people. They just fell into the inertia of thinking just now, and they quickly figured out the cause and effect after turning from the horns.
Knowing Peter's plan, Dumbledore's brows eased a little.
Conspiracy is most powerful only when it is unknown.
Besides...
Ernie and Dumbledore looked at each other, wanting to laugh.
So what if we got Aini's trajectory?
Even if Voldemort obtained all the authority of Hogwarts, it would be useless to search all the items inside in an instant.
Who can find an object that doesn't exist?
When they were convinced of Hecate's existence, futility was doomed.
Ha, when the ending is revealed, the expression on Peter's face must be very exciting.
Aini ticked the corner of his mouth, looking forward to your performance, Mr. Peter Pedilou.
