Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 409 Requirements (Two in One)

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight slowly passed through the window of the infirmary and shone on the floor, bringing a little light into this slightly dark room.

"Bang bang." There was a knock on the door of the infirmary, but it was obvious that the person who knocked on the door didn't have that much patience to wait for something. He pushed the door and walked in almost in the next second.

It was none other than Snape who walked in. He closed the door with a tired face, and he was relieved to see Dumbledore lying on the bed thinking. He thought Dumbledore was going to see Merlin directly.

"Severus?" Dumbledore nodded slightly when he saw Snape coming, and then said, "Sit down."

"Yeah." Snape nodded, then wiped the dust off the stool and sat down.

"So, what happened?" Snape said lightly, and he saw Dumbledore's dark left hand at a glance, covered with black lines, and exuded a disgusting rancid smell.

"I met Tom... in Azkaban." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head: "He is getting stronger and stronger, and I am not his opponent."

"Hmm..." Snape nodded lightly, with a particularly dignified expression: "This cannot be cured by simple potions, I can only slow it down."

"Slow down?" Dumbledore nodded slightly: "That's enough."

"It's good that my old bones can live a little longer." Dumbledore shook his head gently and picked up the honey tea on the table.

Seeing Dumbledore's movements, Snape shook his head and said, "I brought Mr. Pott back too. I know what you're worried about."

"That's right..." Dumbledore nodded, "Hogwarts is still the safest place."

"But it won't be sure in the future." Snape shook his head and said, "Mr. Pott is still some time away, and Tom can't hurt him before that."

"Well..." Dumbledore nodded: "That's their chance. Only by destroying all the Horcruxes can we be sure of victory."

"They?" Snape was a little puzzled, looking at Dumbledore's pale face, he had a bad premonition for a while.

"Snape, you know..." Dumbledore said slowly, "We need an insider..." He smiled relievedly at Snape: "You are the best candidate."

"..."

Snape was silent, this was a topic he had talked with Dumbledore before, but he never thought that this day would come so suddenly.

"I have notified the Order of the Phoenix, and... and the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore sighed: "They will be on alert soon."

"Ministry of Magic?" Snape said, frowning, "Fudge won't believe it."

"And he wants to cooperate with the school board to force you out of Hogwarts." Snape said casually, "This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the city."

"It doesn't matter." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head: "He won't have a chance."

"Ash has already taken charge of this matter."

"Ash?" Snape frowned, only then did he realize that there seemed to be something wrong.

"Do you trust him?" Snape asked after thinking for a while, "I didn't know you changed so quickly."

"Snape, although I can't tell you the reason...but you should know that Ash is someone you can trust." Dumbledore thought for a while and continued: "He is also the only one who will know your identity in the future. "

"..."

Snape shook his head silently: "The thing about the Goblet of Fire...do you want to continue?"

"The Goblet of Fire match cannot be stopped." Dumbledore said tremblingly: "And, I can still live for a while."

"Tom was also injured, and he didn't make a comeback so quickly." As he spoke, Dumbledore shook his head: "Also, don't go to Malfoy Manor again."

"There is already a dark lair..."

"Bang bang bang." There was another knock on the door of the infirmary, but this time the knocker was obviously much more respectful.

"Go forward." Dumbledore said slowly, and then watched as the door of the infirmary was slowly pushed open.

He was somewhat surprised that the people who walked in were Fudge with a haggard face, and a group of Aurors.

"I told you that Principal Dumbledore is resting." Madam Pomfrey who was following behind them said with a displeased face, "So many people came in, do you still want him to rest?"

"Oh... oh..." Fudge didn't seem to be in a good state of mind, he nodded: "The others go out first."

Seeing the Aurors walk out of the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey closed the door of the infirmary with a curl of her lips.

"Connelly..." Before Dumbledore could speak, Fudge came up: "Dumbledore, I feel a little powerless." He shook his head and sat on the edge of the bed.

Obviously, he already knew about Azkaban.

"And, I also saw the newspaper this morning." He shook his head and took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it to Dumbledore.

It published the Azkaban incident and how the Ministry of Magic led by Fudge concealed information and was careless in a huge space. The author fully attributed the responsibility for Voldemort's resurrection to the Ministry of Magic, and also fiercely criticized Fudge's various policies. .

Dumbledore looked down and saw the reporter's name, but as he expected, Skeeter's name was written on it.

This should be what Ash is going to do...

Dumbledore looked at the newspaper and nodded, "Connelly, because you have made too many mistakes."

"You should have realized all this a long time ago." Dumbledore shook his head and returned the newspaper to Fudge. If he didn't expect it, maybe in a few weeks, the Minister of Magic should be replaced.

"All of this is indeed my fault..." Fudge lowered his head. He had already been to Azkaban, and it had become a complete ruin. Not only that, the dementors also disappeared, and everyone Most of the prisoners were taken away by Voldemort.

"Dumbledore, it's the last few days, can I do something for you?" Fudge's state seemed particularly decadent, and all the ideas and ideas he insisted on were destroyed.

So he finally thought of Dumbledore again, and also remembered that he was not an expert when it came to facing darkness.

Soon, within a few days, the Azkaban incident spread, and the news of Fudge's resignation spread at the same time. He expressed his guilt and incompetence at the press conference of the Ministry of Magic, and announced that Barty would temporarily Crouch as Minister of Magic.

This stern and resolute minister was the most eye-catching figure in the last wizarding war. He was famous for his fair handling of his Death Eater son, but he was also forced to abandon the ministerial election that year because of this incident.

But now he has the support of Dumbledore. After all, at this moment, the Ministry of Magic and the magic world really need a vigorous and vicious minister to command.

Of course, Ash, who was the biggest contributor to these things, just nodded slightly when he saw it. He has already gone to Rome now, and because of Dumbledore's matter, he is no longer ready to drag the small disturbance here any longer.

The magic world in Rome is much more stable than the turbulent England, and the wizards here are still busy preparing for the upcoming general election.

Ash sees campaign posters of Mr. Alexis of the Italian Ministry of Magic everywhere, and his opponent, the Wizarding Party, has literally died down.

It's clear they're doing exactly what Ash says.

Through communicating with Phil in his mind, Ash also learned of the achievements of the Wizarding Party in the past few months. Because of the corruption within the Italian Ministry of Magic, the Wizarding Party has infiltrated most of the local organizations of the Ministry of Magic.

Among the eight departments in the headquarters, the Wizard Party has already controlled three.

And all this was going on quietly, Alexi didn't set his eyes on the Italian Ministry of Magic at all, he was still complacent about defeating the Wizarding Party.

All this is enough, Ash's avatar has already told Alexi the news of his departure, after all, Azkaban has fallen and Voldemort's resurrection has become a household news.

As a Hogwarts professor, Ash is naturally obliged to return to his school.

The avatar told Ash with a smirk on his face that when he heard the news of his departure, Alexy didn't even feel any sadness. In his opinion, the dying wizard party had completely given up its plan against him.

After all, there are only a few days until the end of the general election.

According to the voting results, he has received the support of 60.00% of the Italian wizards.

That's enough.

Ash just smiled lightly when he heard this. It's a pity, this Mr. Alexy, Ash doesn't plan to let him be the Minister of Magic for a long time.

"Master!" Seeing Ash walking on the street, Phil happily flew down from the memorial pillar, and then jumped on Ash's shoulder.

They haven't seen each other for a while.

"Phil heard that the guy without a nose was resurrected, right? Googoo?" Phil pecked at Ash's hair and said affectionately, "Does that mean that Phil is going back to Hogwarts too?"

"Yeah." Ash nodded. He stroked Phil's feathers and said, "But before that, we have to go..."

"Wait..." Ash frowned suddenly, because he felt that strange smell.

"What's wrong, master?" Phil shook his head in doubt: "Goo, Phil didn't feel anything."

"Is it her?" Ash looked at the memorial pillar suspiciously, and unexpectedly saw Anna in a cloak there.

I didn't expect this guy to find here...

Ash shook his head slightly. It should be because of the reply letter. Since Ash expressed his rejection of the portrait of Anna to him, the living Anna has never replied.

Ash thought she had given up, but unexpectedly he met her here.

"Guess how long I've been looking for you?" Anna lifted the cloak and looked at Ash and said, "Two weeks!"

"Cuckoo? When did you become a human, Anna?" Phil looked at Anna in surprise, and then said, "Or do you also learn from Animagus?"

"Where did this stupid bird come from?" Anna frowned and looked at Phil: "And I was originally human."

"Hey...Master, is this Anna's sister?" Phil looked at Ash strangely, and the person in front of her gave her a familiar but unfamiliar feeling.

"Probably." Ash nodded slightly, and he didn't want to explain too much to Phil, he just wondered why the woman in front of him came here.

"I'm here to inquire about your letter." Anna leaned on the pillar and said, "What is rejection?"

"I don't think she will take the initiative to refuse this matter." Anna frowned, her eyes full of doubts: "Could it be that you, the damned Ashes, used shady magic?"

"No." Ash shook his head: "If you just want to ask these questions, please go back."

"I have other things to do now." After that, Ash turned around and prepared to leave. He didn't want to get entangled with this annoying Anna, but Anna followed Ash like a follower.

Then there was no sign of stopping in his mouth: "I've heard about things in the past two days, the collapse of the Ministry of Magic, Azkaban, and the resurrection of something..."

"Yeah." Ash nodded and took out his wand, and he was about to leave.

"Hi!" Anna grabbed Ash's cloak: "Don't worry, my friend."

"You and I are not friends." Ash shook his head. He was very resistant to Anna's sudden enthusiasm, and he instinctively told her that the woman in front of him must have some plans.

"That's right." Anna thought for a while and said, "I went to Azkaban and found traces of the abyss."

"If I'm not mistaken, the resurrected demon can already use the power of the abyss, right?" She raised her eyebrows at Ash, who was a little surprised. It was obvious that she was very proud of her investigation.

"And then?" Ash didn't wave his wand, but looked at her with interest. He felt that this Anna might have something to say.

"It's very simple." Anna nodded: "I don't think you know how to kill Abyss?"

"But I know." Ash shook his head and raised his wand: "Use fire."

"No, no, no!" Anna immediately blocked Ash: "It's not a fire!"

"And I'm not talking about the abyss, but its owner."

"That would be easier." Ash shook his head: "Kill him with a burning sword."

"Hmph, if it's that simple, why didn't your seniors do it?" Anna shook her head and said confidently, "I met an interesting person in the depths of the abyss."

"He calls himself Artorius, and he has been in the abyss for thousands of years." Anna said casually, "He told me what he could think of."

"Artorius?" Ash frowned slightly, he thought the abyss walker was dead.

"You should know him, right?" Anna said casually, "He told me that he is very famous in your world."

"I know." Ash nodded: "Then what is your reward?"

He knew that the woman in front of him must have exchanged something.

"I don't want a soul." Anna smiled and shook her head, "I just want to meet that Anna."
