Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Although a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Ivan had never met Efias Dorji himself at the headquarters of the Order before.

He is too old to be as physically and energetically as Dumbledore's best friend and student classmate.

At this age, Dodge could not even stand steadily and naturally could not participate in the activities of the Phoenix Society, but the obituary he published in the newspaper about Dumbledore was impressive, and his knowledge and loyalty to Dumbledore were far higher than others.

Dodge has also contributed to Hogwarts Magic several times before, and has published articles in support of Dumbledore.

Since he was a former senior official of the Ministry of Magic before retiring and a long-time special adviser to Wesengamo, Dodge's articles were highly influential.

There are a lot of things that Dumbledore is not comfortable with personally appearing, and Phoenix needs a respected wizard like Effias Dodge to express their opinions and express some ideas that support Dumbledore or are beneficial to Phoenix. In a sense, he plays no lesser role than those who fight the Death Eaters on the front lines.

Dodge was most recently known to the public because he wrote the obituary about Dumbledore.

In that obituary, Ivan saw a photograph of Dodge, and I'm sure that's why Harry recognized him.

“Let's go say hello too, Elaine, you're with us.” Ivan said, "Don't act alone, we better find Ron...”

“You two seem worried.” Elaine narrowed her eyes and measured Ivan and Hermione, "would the Death Eaters break in? ”

“Believe me, it's quite possible. ”

“If they take over the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Protection and Magic, which breaks down the rudimentary residence, is only a matter of a few minutes, and if that's the case, we'll be ready to run. ”

“You don't think the Ministry will fall today, do you?” Elaine asked surprised.

“Do you think Voldemort will tolerate our wedding in front of him and do nothing?” Ivan asks back, "If that's the case, then he's not Voldemort. Skringer wanted to attack the main camp of the dead, but didn't expect Voldemort to want to attack the Ministry, and he was likely to have done something about it, which was much easier for him than Skringer to attack Malfoy Manor. By the way, Elaine, did I ask you to carry a wand with you last night? ”

“Yes, I just used it to get rid of that nasty guy who calls himself an international planet, and he probably keeps bleeding his nose out. ”

“Well done, but in the face of the Death Eaters, I allow you to use more powerful magic.” Ivan said.

He mourned for Krum for a second, and next time he talked to a pretty girl, he had to find someone.

But then again, Ivan knew Elaine was restrained, otherwise it wasn't just nosebleeds.

In a certain sense, the magic of vampires is almost all dark magic, and the damage is frightening.

“I hope my fears are redundant, maybe Scrim Jay is stronger than I thought.” Ivan continued.

But no matter how hard Scrimgeour struggles, the fall of the Ministry of Magic is only a matter of time.

Either today or tomorrow, Ivan, they have to be ready to leave their homes at any time.

In the corner of the tent, Harry seems to be talking to Dodge about Dumbledore's past.

“Your thoughts are right, my dear child.” Dodge said that his voice was very sharp and he gasped, "Dumbledore and I have known each other the longest, if not Abeforce, somehow it seems that people never count as Abeforce, in fact, very few people have...”

He paused, gasping heavily, and his cloudy eyes alerted to the nearby Evan, Hermione and Elaine.

“Don't worry, it's Evan. He's wearing makeup just like me. You know Evan Mason, right?” Harry said.

“Of course, of course!” Dodge was nervous and happy to say, "I wrote to Ivan earlier, of course you were here, and Arthur told me that I was so old and confused that I should have thought of it. Sit down, boys. I just spoke to my dear Harry about my acquaintance with Dumbledore. It was a long time ago. ”

“Were you in school?” Hermione asked curiously.

“Like you, Abbs and I went into Hogwarts the same year, lived in the same bedroom, and for a while, we were inseparable.” Dodgy said, tears suddenly filled his little eyes, "this is a really long memory, or did Dumbledore, the student, show an amazing talent, as I mentioned in the obituary, full of talent. Before he graduated, he attracted the attention of many magicians at the time, even more sophisticated in some magic studies than his professors. ”

“With that obituary mentioned, Mr. Dorji, I don't know if you saw it..." Harry asked.

“Oh, my dear child, call me Ephias, you can all call me that. ”

“Effias, did you see Rita Skeeter's interview with Dumbledore in The Daily Prophet? ”

Dodge's face was red and angry, "See, Harry, I see. That woman, calling her a bald old sculpture, I'm afraid it would be more appropriate, she actually haunted me to talk to her. I was ashamed to say that my attitude was also rude, and I called her a carefree, nasty bitch, and as you probably saw, she gave me dirty water and defamed me. Kids, you don't believe anything she says, you don't believe a word, it's all made up. ”

“But Rita Skeeter implied in that interview that Professor Dumbledore had been exposed to dark magic when he was young. ”

“No, that's not true. Don't believe a word, Harry! Don't let anything tarnish your memory of Albus Dumbledore! ”

Dodge had a painful look on his face because he was in such a hurry that he could only keep saying "Don't believe a word”.

For a while, the atmosphere silenced.

Harry stared at Dodger's sincere and painful face, feeling disappointed instead of comforted.

Does Dodge really think it's that simple, Harry, just choose not to believe it?

Dodge really doesn't understand how he feels? What he really cared about was not whether Dumbledore had studied dark magic, but what was behind it.

Dumbledore's involvement in black magic is not surprising.

Ivan had long known that the headmaster had never applied those magics simply because they were too noble, but that did not mean that he did not understand, for example, the magic of the Horcrux, the world's existing wizards, apart from the despicable Hailbo and Voldemort, probably knew Dumbledore the most about this extremely evil dark magic.

Black magic needs to be tended by evil ideas, but it does not mean that all wizards who use black magic are evil.
