Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

In the visionary discourse, time flickered by.

Soon, it was time for Evan and Harry to go to Dumbledore again.

This time, Dumbledore specifically ordered them to come earlier, so it was an hour and a half ahead of schedule.

At 6: 30 p.m., two people arrived punctually at the principal's office.

The lights in Dumbledore's office were on, and as they walked in, the portraits of successive principals snored gently in the frame of the photograph on the wall.

Ivan thinks every time he comes, these guys are pretending to sleep.

It's 6: 30 p.m. and dinner downstairs in the auditorium isn't over. Shouldn't it be the most exciting hour of the night? How is it possible to sleep?

Dumbledore sits behind his desk with a meditation basin and a hot drink in front of him.

He smiled at them and walked into the office, looking good. But when he approached Dumbledore, Ivan sniffed his nose so hard, he smelled a spell in the air. Absolutely right. Although it was covered up by the taste of the beverage, he could be sure that Dumbledore had taken the spell before...

Was it the weird spells on your right hand?

Are those curse injuries to such an extent that they need to be suppressed by magic?

Ivan didn't say anything, and he heard Dumbledore say, "I heard you met the Minister of Magic on Christmas Day? ”

“Yes, we have, we have said a lot, but it is almost useless.” Ivan replied that he looked at Dumbledore and saw nothing.

“I don't think he's very happy with the two of us.” Harry followed.

“Yeah, not satisfied!” Dumbledore sighed, "in fact, he wasn't very happy with me either. But let's try not to be depressed by the pain, there's a lot more to do, keep fighting, Evan, Harry. ”

Harry was laughed at by Dumbledore, who said, "He wants us to tell the wizard world that the Ministry of Magic is doing a great job. ”

“I know.” Dumbledore laughed with a smile. “It was Fudge's idea. On the last days of his tenure, he desperately wanted to keep his post. He came to me and wanted to see you, Harry. I hope you can support him...”

“What, after Fogey did all that last year?” Harry asks angrily, "After Umbridge? ”

“Well, so I told Foggy it was impossible, but the idea didn't die after he left. We met a few hours after Skringer was appointed, and he asked me to arrange an interview with you, mainly because of that prophecy, which he probably thought was the way to defeat Voldemort.” Dumbledore said in a brief tone, "Of course, Evan, when those things you did in Egypt last summer were reported in the media, he wanted to see you again, and he thought you could help him. ”

“He wants us to help him and make a good impression on the Ministry of Magic.” Ivan said.

“Yeah, that's his plan, and he thinks you have an obligation to help the Ministry maintain the current order. But in my view, it doesn't really work. So I turned him down, and we had an argument over it.” Dumbledore said, "but Rufus finally managed to get you stuck. ”

“I don't think Mr. Minister is ready for a war, he's just thinking about his seat.” Ivan went on to say, "He also said he wanted to award me a First Order of the Merlin Order in recognition of my contribution to Egypt, but we finally rejected him, which I don't think is possible now. ”

“That's not necessarily true, Evan. I know Rufus very well. He's still fairer. Dumbledore said," But as we have seen, positions are different, and considerations and starting points are different. Rufus is an experienced proud man, but what he needs to think about now is how to hold the position of Minister of Magic, and secondly, the coming war. ”

“Are we really going to have a war?” Harry suddenly asked.

“I hope to defeat Voldemort in a more peaceful way, but at present it seems unlikely. Dumbledore replied," In fact, the war has begun and Rufus and the Ministry of Magic are just reluctant to believe it. ”

Officially, the situation is tense, but everything is still under the control of the Ministry of Magic, so don't panic.

But where he can't see it, Voldemort's strength and the size of his army are rapidly expanding.

A brief silence in the office, Ivan noticed Phineas snoring as he was sniffing at them.

It seemed that Ivan saw him and he immediately closed his eyes, snoring louder.

“Professor!” Harry hesitated for a moment and said, "After we refused, Skringer concluded by saying that the two of us looked a lot like you, saying that we were ‘Dumbledore's people at the end of the day'. ”

“Oh, that's rude, that's an unfounded accusation. ”

“But I said, I am.” Harry sincerely said, "I told him I was Dumbledore's man. ”

It turns out Harry didn't want to show loyalty, he really wanted to say that.

And he was very straightforward, and he told Scrimgeour that he was from Dumbledore.

Ivan avoided the problem without making a direct statement.

Behind the desk, Dumbledore tried to speak, but closed again because Phoenix sounded a gentle, pleasant whisper.

Harry's words make Dumbledore's bright blue eyes a little wet, and if Ivan is right, so be it.

Harry noticed that too, and he was so embarrassed that he looked down at his knees.

But Dumbledore's voice remained quite calm when he spoke again.

“I'm touched, Harry.” And he said, "And you, Ivan, thank you.”

“It's nothing, Professor, we just made the right choice.” Ivan noticed that Harry hadn't raised his head yet, so he said, "I advised him to talk to you openly, but he refused, and I don't think the Ministry was ready for a war. Well, besides pulling us together, he wants to know what you've been up to. Where would you go if you weren't in Hogwarts? ”

In fact, Ivan's wondering what Dumbledore's been up to lately!

Looking for the rest of the Horcrux? Voldemort's memory? Slytherin left a clue? Or something about evil gods?

“Yeah, yeah, he loves to ask about this. I know, it's curious.” Dumbledore's voice cheered up, "he even tried to stare at me, which was funny. He sent Derex to follow me. That's not good. I've been forced to use a spell on Derex, and I'm very sorry to use it again. ”

“So they don't know where you've been? ”

“Yeah, they don't know.” Dumbledore smiled and said, "I can't tell you two right now, there's something else I don't want you to distract yourself from. Now, the most important thing for us is to continue our classes. Well, there's also something about raising a fairy home..."
