In the middle of the night, Harry sat at the desk in the bedroom, flipping through the pile of the latest newspapers thrown on the table, and he had been sitting here for nearly four hours, until the street outside was gradually darkening, because Dumbledore's owl sent a letter to mention. Yes, he will be picked up at 4 Privet Drive at 11 o'clock to go to 12 Grimmauld Place to spend the rest of the holiday with Sirius, which is undoubtedly good news, the only problem is that the second hand is moving too slowly and he can't. Don't distract yourself by reading the newspaper, lest the rest of the wait be too hard.
Front page news in first newspaper: Scrimgeour replaces Fudge
Much of the front page was occupied by a large black-and-white photograph of a man waving at Harry as he read the newspaper.
The second edition extols the heroic deeds of Scrimgeour leading the Aurors against the dark wizards, and a series of policies after taking over as Minister of Magic.
However, Harry is more concerned about the previous battle. It is said that eight Death Eaters were killed on the spot by Aurors in the wedding ambush, and three Death Eaters were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.
The most incredible thing is that the Aurors also captured and killed hundreds of dark wizards, creating an unprecedented legendary deed.
This incident has been thoroughly spread throughout the British wizarding world.
However, Harry saw something unusual behind the incident.
The wedding mentioned in the newspaper obviously refers to Albert's wedding.
Then the truth of the whole thing must be different from what was mentioned in the newspapers, and it is not surprising that it will turn into a big victory.
Harry, who had experienced it once, was all too familiar with it.
Albert is not easy to mess with, he had been on guard against Voldemort and the Death Eaters going to his wedding to make trouble a long time ago. Jay, turning the wedding into a deadly trap for the Death Eaters, taught the bunch of guys who wanted to run to the wedding to make a mess of it a lesson of a lifetime.
"However, what's the matter with this letter?"
Harry frowned slightly at the letter Scrimgeour had written to him.
The content of the letter is very simple, Scrimgeour hopes that Harry can support his policy against the dark wizards, so as to promote everyone's determination to fight against the dark wizards.
What troubled Harry so much was that the letter was sent by Mr. Weasley, Kingsley, and Percy. The content is to hope that when he goes shopping in Diagon Alley, he will give a premeditated interview in the Leaky Cauldron, and take a photo by the way. The only thing Harry needs to do is to express his support for the Ministry of Magic's policy of cracking down on dark wizards in an interview with reporters, and the other party even helped him figure out the lines.
Harry read the line in the letter softly: "I agree that the Ministry of Magic has taken tough measures to deal with the dark wizards, and you must not be soft-hearted or merciful in the face of these evil guys, because it is for yourself, your family, and your family. Everyone's life is irresponsible."
Well, that still makes sense.
He also felt that it was right to kill the group of dark wizards, because being merciful and showing mercy is irresponsible for himself, his family, and everyone's lives.
It is said that in the previous ambush, the Ministry of Magic Aurors also killed several.
It's just that this is nothing like what a politician from the Ministry of Magic would say, and Harry suspects that this is Albert's brilliant idea for Skrein.
Mr. Weasley and Kingsley had been promoted rapidly at the Ministry of Magic, and it seemed obvious to Harry that the new minister was showing his favor.
Otherwise, Mr. Weasley and Kingsley will not be allowed to inform him about the latest policy of the Ministry of Magic, and the subsequent use of Veritaserum to determine the crimes of the dark wizards, to ensure that innocent people will not be affected by this.
Harry's thoughts stopped because the alarm went off.
It's eleven o'clock.
He opened the window and squinted at the pavement below. A tall figure in a long cloak approached, walking down the garden path.
The doorbell below rang, and Harry hurried downstairs, opening the door almost shortly after the bell went off, his luggage had already moved to the hallway, and the Dursleys were happy to see him get out.
Dumbledore was standing outside the door, smiling at Harry who opened the door.
"Are we going now, sir?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Go, of course. But there are a few things I need to discuss with your aunt and uncle." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I think we'd better not talk about these things outside."
"Sir, they've rested, do I need to wake them up now?" Harry didn't think it was a good idea, but asked anyway.
"Just disturb them."
In fact, the Dursleys were not asleep, but they were not in a good mood when they were called up to face their most hated wizard, and they thought Harry would leave quietly.
"This must be Penny." Dumbledore introduced himself with a smile, "I am Albus Dumbledore. We will pass the letter."
It made Harry laugh, if shouting letters counted as letters.
Probably seeing the panic and anxiety on the faces of the Dursleys, Dumbledore went straight to the subject.
"Harry will be an adult in a year."
"In the wizarding world, you're seventeen," Harry explained to his aunt and uncle.
"absurd."
Uncle Vernon grumbled, but Dumbledore ignored him and continued: "The wizard named Voldemort is back in this country, the wizarding world is at war at the moment, and Harry is in a better position now than I was fifteen years ago. It's even more dangerous to put him on your steps."
"When Harry becomes a man, that powerful protective spell I put on fifteen years ago will fail. I hope that before Harry's seventeenth birthday, you will allow him to come back to this home again and put that kind of It's important that the protection continues until that time."
No one in the Dursleys said a word, and from their expressions, it was obvious that they hoped that they would finish talking and leave.
"Okay, Harry... We should go. See you next time." Dumbledore stood up, adjusted his black cloak, put on his hat, and walked quickly out of the living room.
"goodbye!"
Harry said goodbye to the Dursleys and followed him, he had something he wanted to ask Dumbledore's opinion.
With a bang, the door behind him slammed shut.
Harry seemed to hear the Dursleys breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems that we are not welcome here." Dumbledore teased with a smile.
"Sir, I have received a letter from the new minister."
Harry stole a glance at Dumbledore and spoke slowly of the letter he had received yesterday.
"It was Fudge's idea." Dumbledore laughed. "He wanted to see you once, hoping you would support him—before Voldemort warned and the Brockdale Bridge broke."
"After Umbridge did all that stupid stuff?" Harry sneered oddly. "Did he get his head caught in the door for wanting my support?"
"By the way, no one has accused Fudge of colluding with the Death Eaters to send him to Azkaban."
"Scrimgeour needs a smooth transition of power," Dumbledore explained. "Also, accusations of collusion with the Death Eaters are not necessarily true."
"His previous case of helping the Death Eaters exonerate, and he has a financial connection with the Death Eaters. The Ministry of Magic actually convicted him, and he can easily find ten different reasons." Harry dragged the suitcase as he walked. Say.
"Although Scrimgeour managed to use the group of Death Eaters as stepping stones, it doesn't look like his handwriting, it's more like Albert using the Ministry of Magic to take revenge on the Death Eaters."
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"Marriage is targeted, backhand to teach each other a lesson, much like what Albert would do." Harry muttered.
"Makes sense."
"Sir, how was Albert's wedding?" Harry said suddenly. "I heard that Snape was the only one in the school who didn't receive invitations?"
"In order to prevent someone from sneaking in and making trouble, the wedding venue is strictly protected by the Brave Loyalty Charm." Dumbledore changed the subject and said, "Also, I went to many famous wizards in the wizarding world, I think you can probably imagine the atmosphere at the scene. "
"Very depressing?"
"It can only be said that everyone went to the wedding to send blessings to the young newlyweds," Dumbledore recalled with a smile, "However, the food at the wedding banquet was delicious and was well received by everyone. "
"Do you think I should be interviewed, sir?" Harry returned to the subject.
"What do you think?" Dumbledore asked rhetorically.
"I don't know what Scrimgeour is trying to do with me?" Harry saw the sincerity in the new minister's letter, the sincerity for the Dark Wizard, but there must be some reason for the other party to do that.
"That's an interesting question," said Dumbledore softly. "Scrimgeour has been working on the dark wizards, and he's still doing that, judging by the enacted wartime policy. Scrimgeour obviously wants us to support him. Increase confidence in the Ministry of Magic against the Death Eater policy."
"Do you think Scrimgeour will succeed?" Harry asked curiously. "Lead us through this difficult time."
"Scrimgeour is capable, and more decisive and bolder than Connelly," Dumbledore commented.
"But Albert's assessment of Scrimgeour is unlucky. He thinks that Scrimgeour is likely to die in office, and the wizarding world will collapse and be controlled by Voldemort." Honestly, Harry preferred to believe Ai Bert's prophecy.
There is no way, only through personal experience can I understand the horror of that guy. The guy's mouth is really scary, and it is no wonder that Voldemort wants to find a chance to kill him.
"It is undeniable that Scrimgeour has taken over a mess, and the Ministry of Magic is really in trouble now, so Mr. Anderson's unlucky assessment is actually correct." Dumbledore frowned slightly, and it was not the first time he heard Albert Predicting the downfall of the Ministry of Magic.
In his view there was only one case for the downfall of the Ministry of Magic.
He was dead, powerless to stop him.
Reminiscent of Albert's statement that the next search for the Horcrux might be dangerous, and foreseeing that he was severely injured, it is likely to kill him?
"I think Scrimgeour should hire Albert as a special adviser to the Minister, maybe the Ministry of Magic can turn a corner."
"Scrimgeour tried, but was rejected outright."
"It's like his style," Harry grumbled.
"Almost forgot." Dumbledore stopped at the intersection of Privet Drive and turned to Harry. "I want you to have your wand and invisibility cloak ready."
"Aren't we going directly to 12 Grimmauld Place?" Harry was surprised, but it was quickly replaced by a surge of excitement that Dumbledore was apparently taking him there for an adventure.
"We're going to visit an old colleague today." After Harry took out the invisibility cloak, Dumbledore flicked his wand and disappeared the chest, cage and Hedwig.
"I'll take your luggage to 12 Grimmauld Place so I don't get in the way with them."
"Old colleague?"
"We're short of professors again, and we need to persuade a retired colleague of mine to return to Hogwarts to continue his tenure."
"Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Harry guessed.
"No, he's Professor Potions," said Dumbledore.
"So, Snape finally got his wish?" Harry frowned slightly, surprised at Dumbledore's decision to let Snape be Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"It's Professor Snape," Dumbledore corrected.
"That's really good news," said Harry cheerfully.
"Good news?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.
The position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was cursed by Voldemort a long time ago, and each professor would not hold for more than a semester, which meant that Snape would have an accident and get out of Hogwarts next year.
He didn't think Snape, who had been a Death Eater, was immune from Voldemort's curse. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
Could this not be good news?
"How can I help, sir?" Harry changed the subject.
"I think you'll come in handy," said Dumbledore, raising his arm. "Okay Harry, grab my arm, we're going."
"Okay, sir."
After Harry grabbed Dumbledore's outstretched forearm, the whole body was pulled in by a force of suction, and the squeezing from all directions almost suffocated him.
"Are you all right?" Dumbledore looked down at Harry, who was retching, with concern. "This feeling takes time to get used to."
"I prefer to fly on a broomstick."
Although Harry said he didn't like it, he also knew that he had to master Apparition as soon as possible so that he could grow up quickly.
"This way."
Dumbledore walked briskly and led Harry through the town, stopping in front of a neat little stone house in a garden.
The door of the house hung slantingly, as if someone had broken in violently.
"Oh my God!"
"Sir, no Dark Mark." Harry looked up at the sky and found no Dark Mark. "If the Death Eaters really came, they would definitely leave a Dark Mark over the house."
"You're right." Dumbledore said softly, looking around the street, "It seems that my old friend doesn't seem to welcome other guests."
"Could it be because we came so late," Harry muttered.
"Pull out your wand and follow me, Harry," Dumbledore whispered. "Hopefully we won't come here in vain."
