This Hogwarts is not normal

Even though they were separated by a projection screen, Vincent and Dumbledore's interaction was the same as usual, and neither of them was shy, which made Sirius and Lupin feel indescribably strange.

Vincent made no effort to conceal his dislike, and Dumbledore even showed a rare look of sadness.

I don't understand it, I don't understand it at all.

Sirius was confused, but Lupin understood a little.

Vincent's suggestion was related to power, but was explicitly rejected by Dumbledore.

Could it be the Minister of Magic?

Lupin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down as much as possible.

Dumbledore finished his recollection, his azure eyes becoming clear again, "I heard that Miss Granger's dream is to become the Minister of Magic. The future belongs to you young people, so an old man like me will not get involved."

Vincent muttered "Old bastard Deng" under his breath, and acted very impatiently, "Professor, Voldemort is almost 70 and he is still starting a second business. You are much stronger than him."

Dumbledore smiled but said nothing, as if he didn't want to continue the topic.

Vincent knew that he was sincerely refusing, and checked the time, "It's almost lunch time, Professor, I should go home."

"Wait a minute -" Dumbledore's expression suddenly became serious, "Regarding the soul fragment in Harry, we need to solve this problem as soon as possible."

Although Harry is not a true Horcrux, in order to destroy Voldemort's soul fragments, he still has to "die" once.

There is only one wizard who can accurately control the Killing Curse, and that is the first Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald.

It is not difficult to go to Nurmengard secretly, but Vincent and Dumbledore are currently banned from leaving the country by the Ministry of Magic, and we don’t know when the hearing will start. We can’t let Grindelwald come to the UK.

With two generations of Dark Lords gathered together in the palace, Fudge and the others would surely go crazy on the spot.

Imagination is beautiful, but Vincent also knows that this is impossible.

He looked at Sirius, then at Lupin, "Professor, do you have any good ideas?"

Dumbledore shook his head slightly. "I can lift the Ministry of Magic's ban, but they will find out immediately."

It can't be solved as soon as possible.

Vincent squinted and stared at Dumbledore on the projection screen.

To put it simply, the Ministry of Magic's ban is actually a detection magic covering the whole of Britain. It only targets wizards and cannot identify certain magical animals.

For example, house-elves or phoenixes, their apparition should be able to successfully evade detection.

Therefore, as long as Dumbledore was willing, he could take Harry to Nurmengard quietly through Fawkes without lifting the magical ban.

Given their relationship, Grindelwald would definitely be happy to help Harry "die" once.

This is obviously a very good idea, why didn't Dumbledore say it?

Not willing?

Vincent's mouth twitched violently.

This old bitch Deng is actually such a tsundere!

"Professor, the problem seems to be with you."

Sirius and Lupin looked at Dumbledore expectantly when it came to Harry, but he still shook his head.

Vincent did not hide the contempt and disdain on his face. "That's unavoidable. I don't want to be caught by the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore was obviously panicked for a moment, but he quickly looked at Vincent with a smile again.

"Professor, is there nothing for me to do?"

"Gone."

Vincent stood up decisively, "Then I'll go back?"

Dumbledore nodded meaningfully, "Go, child."

This feeling is absolutely correct. Old Deng must be planning something again.

Vincent straightened his back and walked out of the store without looking back.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to help, it’s just that the Ministry of Magic restricts him from leaving the country.

He is a law-abiding citizen. How could he do anything illegal?

Dumbledore on the projection screen looked at his receding back with a look of amusement and tears.

He left cleanly and vigorously, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to help.

"Sirius, Remus, I will find another way to deal with Harry's situation."

Dumbledore's expression turned serious again. "Back to our original topic, are you sure Lucius has not returned to Voldemort's side?"

Lupin nodded with certainty. "Malfoy was overly sensitive about the Dark Mark. He got angry when Sirius mentioned it. I guess he hasn't decided whether to go back or not."

Sirius took a sip of whiskey, his eyes full of contempt, "The Malfoy family is an old fence-sitter. If it hadn't been broadcast live that night, he would have rolled over to lick his master's stinky feet."

Voldemort was driven away by Dumbledore as soon as he regained his strength. The old fox Lucius certainly has no determination to place a bet now.

Dumbledore softened his expression a little, "Keep paying close attention, Sirius. You need to control your emotions."

Sirius smiled helplessly, "How can I control it? I get angry when I think about how these Death Eaters escaped justice back then."

After spending 12 full years in Azkaban, it was lucky that he didn't go crazy.

Lupin put his hand gently on his shoulder, "If they go back, they will definitely not escape trial like they did last time."

"Hopefully."

Today's conflict was just a test, and the Order of the Phoenix certainly would not sit idly by.

Fudge, who was unaware of all this, had a gloomy face ever since he returned to the Ministry of Magic.

The more conflicts there were among wizards, the more uneasy he felt.

"It seems that a hearing will be held as soon as possible..."

He muttered to himself and opened the drawer and took out a document.

Inside was the Aurors' surveillance report from yesterday. What happened in Diagon Alley today happened so suddenly that he had not had time to read the report.

As expected, all the monitored subjects were normal.

Dumbledore stayed in Hogwarts obediently, Vincent did not go out either, and those related to the Order of the Phoenix did not show any obvious abnormal behavior.

There is no evidence at all. Do we really have to hold a hearing based on a few smear articles?

Fudge rubbed his brow and glanced at the newspaper on the other side of the desk.

Many members of the Wizengamot were friends with Dumbledore, so he must have known about the hearing.

There is no need to worry about the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic and representatives of pure-blood families. Academic leaders usually remain neutral, so the most difficult ones are the judicial and legal experts. As for the rest, we can wait and see if they can arrive in time.

the other side,

Vincent, who had just arrived home, had a hearty lunch, then went upstairs to his room while his parents looked at him as if he were a useless person.

He lay in bed and watched the latest episode of "Gryffindor Chronicles", and then watched some videos.

It feels so good to not think about anything and not do anything.

“Hmm——” Vincent sat up from the bed, stretched himself and looked out the window.

Wales should still be guarding the opposite building. It's really embarrassing for him to have to monitor himself again.
