"Then you may not have beaten him." Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, and his long white beard trembled on his chest before speaking in a somewhat complicated tone.

"What?" Karkaroff suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Nothing, let's go."

Dumbledore changed the subject, and then led the two out of the noisy tavern towards their destination.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -

"So, are you trying to reverse the case for this half-giant named Hagrid?" Karkaroff stood at Dumbledore's desk, staring at him with an unkind expression.

Dumbledore raised his hand to speak when he was interrupted by Karkaroff.

"I'm telling you, I don't have any interest in your bullshit things. You can do justice alone. Besides, he is just a mess..." Karkaroff felt offended. , The tone began to become more impolite.

But the words had been spoken, and he knew that he had made a mistake again.

Mrs. Maxim seemed to be a hybrid giant too, so he finally stopped the word "hybrid" alive.

However, it was too late.

Karkaroff could clearly see that Mrs. Maxim's face next to him became gloomy. The others were not fools, and he could guess what he wanted to say. It made no difference if he didn't say it.

"The old fox gave me a set again." Karkaroff cursed secretly in his heart, preparing to change his attitude. After being played, he could only pinch his nose to recognize it.

Just a few hours ago, the three of them came directly to the principal's office (Dumbledore's privilege) through the Floo network. Dumbledore didn't linger and told Karkaroff his thoughts straightforwardly.

The general idea is: I am a layman for black magic, although I just disdain to study it, so I ask you now.

Now that the recognized first wizard is asking for himself, Karkaroff is naturally very useful, and the fluctuations in this diary, even after it is damaged, are still very strong. He suspects that it is a masterpiece of a certain dark wizard. Maybe I can benefit a bit from it.

Durmstrang taught even black magic, not to mention that he had been a Death Eater, and there was no psychological pressure at all.

The high noon sun outside the window slowly fell below the horizon, and several hours passed.

Karkaroff exhausted what he had learned throughout his life, but restored only a few scenes of the memories remaining in the diary, and introduced them into Dumbledore's meditation basin.

From the only fragments, it seems to know that the hybrid giant named Hagrid was wronged, that's it, and the remaining soul fragments are not only small, but also full of holes.This step is already the limit.

Karkarov, who had been busy for a long time, obviously couldn't accept this ending, so there was the first scene.

"But this is not completely irrelevant to you, except for Hagrid, you should also know the mastermind in this matter." Dumbledore explained in a hurry.

"Heh." Karkaroff snorted, and then said: "Not to mention the distance between Hogwarts and Demstrang, the only exchange of the top three cups, I don't know how many sessions have been suspended.

"This is already fifty years ago." Dumbledore said quietly.

"Fifty years ago..." Karkarov seemed to have thought of something, and the following words got stuck in his throat, his expression stiffened suddenly, his eyes full of weirdness.

"Impossible, he must be dead!" Karkaroff didn't want to believe it, nor could he believe that the man was still alive.

He then said to himself: "This is just a magic item made by him. He has disappeared for so long. He will not come back, he will not come back."

For a while, Karkarov seemed to be stunned, muttering to himself repeatedly, saying those few words back and forth.

"Calm down, Karkaroff." Dumbledore's kind voice gave a calming magic. After Karkaroff and Dumbledore's sharp blue eyes met, they calmed down unconsciously.

Dumbledore took advantage of the benefits brought by the mindfulness, even if he did not actively use it, it would still affect others invisibly.

"Last year he personally sneaked into Hogwarts, trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, in order to resurrect his body, and killed a unicorn to continue his life."

"This year I also tried to trace his trail. I traveled through most of the Albanian forests but found nothing."

"I think you should be more afraid of his return than I."

"So I need your help."

Dumbledore pressed harder step by step, not leaving Karkaroff time to think, he just wanted to impress him when his heart collapsed.

Two or five boys rarely end well.

If other Death Eaters who are in Azkaban or escaped can still cling to Voldemort's wings again after his return, then Lucius Malfoy who has an unidentified position is in Voldemort's team. It's very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Malfoy had already made a good impression on him at the first meeting.

As for Karkaroff, a role that is not white for Voldemort's camp, a green light may be the best destination. After all, there are many black magic that torture people.

I lost my body and was forced to wander around. My loyal men suffered unbearable jail for me, but you chose to betray my loyal followers in exchange for your own peace, and even turned into Demus. Tron's principal?

The clay figurines will have three points of anger, not to mention the cruel and neurotic Dark Lord?

This is also the fundamental reason why Karkaroff is so afraid.

"I will be on your side." Mrs. Maxim, who has reached the level of the principal, is also a human spirit. It is not difficult to find clues in their conversations and immediately expressed their attitude.

"Thank you very much, Boothbarton will be proud of having a principal like you." Dumbledore complimented Mrs. Maxim.

In this way, the three giants of the European wizarding education circle reached a united front against the Dark Lord in Dumbledore's office.

"Oops." Mrs. Maxim patted her on the head in annoyance. "I forgot one thing." She said.

"Is it urgent?" Dumbledore stroked his wand, ready to get up at any time, as if he wanted to do his best as a landlord and help people solve problems.

"This is not enough." Maxim's face was a little embarrassed.
