Chapter 505： ?Dumbledore's long-cherished wish

As Sirius and Harry made too much noise at the door, Lupin and Tonks on the sofa were naturally awakened and joined the camp celebrating Harry's return.

Seeing Harry and the others who were hugging each other for a while, crying and laughing, Dumbledore's face always had a gratifying smile. Perhaps it was because of his age. He always likes to see this kind of reunion. Scenes.

On the other hand, Mike was different, he just glanced at them lightly and stood by and looked on.

For him now, how to deal with Dumbledore's next cross-examination is the most important, because Dumbledore seems to be bad.

Thinking about this, Mike looked to the other corner.

There, Snape was holding his wand and staring at Mike, as if ready to attack at any time.

The look in Mike's eyes became dangerous when he saw it, but at this moment, a person rushed over from the side and held him firmly in his arms.

"Sorry! Mike! I lost my temper at you, please forgive me!" Sirius choked, "I'm just... just too anxious, I should believe you, thank you!"

"Okay, I get it. And if you can let me go, I am strangled to death by you!"

Mike held his breath with his hands up and said, the smell on Sirius was really terrifying.

"Oh! Oh! Sorry!"

"it's better now."

Sirius stood aside and rubbed his hands awkwardly. He also knew that he smelled bad now.

He was so happy that Dumbledore and Lupin laughed.

After the laughter, the expression on Dumbledore's face finally became serious. He looked at Harry and said:

"Harry, what the **** is going on? Who kidnapped you?"

As soon as he said this, not only Sirius, but Lupin and Tonks on the side pricked their ears.

You know, the two of them have been looking outside for a full day and night, and they have used almost every method to find Harry.

However, Harry had a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard the words. He looked at Mike with a plea for help, while still stammering in his mouth:

"I... Actually, I don't know very well. Why don't you ask Mike?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Mike again, and in desperation, Mike could only tell a rough story about the incident.

Of course, Mike didn’t tell about the disappearance of Voldemort’s spirit in Harry’s body. In his opinion, there is no need to tell about it. People who need to know, such as Dumbledore, have been early You should have seen it for yourself the moment you saw Harry.

After listening to Mike's account, the office fell into a moment of silence. Except for Snape, who was still staring at Mike, Harry had a dumbfounded look on everyone else's look.

Obviously, like Mike, they were puzzled by this matter, but at the same time they sensed the weirdness.

After a long time, Harry, who was waiting impatiently, couldn't help but yawn greatly.

Thinking Dumbledore was awakened by the yawn. He looked up at Harry, who was already sleepy, and then touched his beard and said with embarrassment:

"Sorry Harry, I lost my mind by accident. It's too early now, why don't you go back and rest first?"

Hearing that the people of Lu Ping were also awakened. Under their support, Harry, who was originally embarrassed, could only walk out of the office in three steps.

His godfather, Sirius, wanted very much to stay with Harry.

What happened in these two days scared him, he could hardly imagine his days without Harry.

But his request was cruelly rejected by Dumbledore.

At Dumbledore’s insistence, Lupin, Sirius and others were kindly invited out of the office. Mike was planning to mix in and leave when he saw it, but when he had reached the door, Dumbledore was kind The voice rang again.

"Mike, I'm sorry, but can I ask you to stay here for a while? My old man still has something to tell you."

Dumbledore spoke very politely, but Mike didn't feel the slightest kindness, because Snape, who had been standing in the corner, had moved to the doorway, which was already obvious.

Coldly glanced at the wand in Snape's hand, Mike said blankly:

"can."

"This is really great, please sit down Mike." Dumbledore took a seat behind the eagle-leg table, then took out a lot of candies from the drawer and said, "Our conversation may be a little longer, just now. At the banquet I noticed that you didn’t eat much, so if you’re hungry, you can put some candy to cushion your stomach. Of course, it’s not good to eat sweets at night, but...who cares if you are really hungry ? But I don’t recommend that you eat cockroach piles. There are coffee ingredients in that stuff. If you eat too much, you will not sleep at night."

Dumbledore was talking endlessly. He seemed very excited that Mike was still willing to sit down and talk to him. However, Mike was extremely cold and turned a blind eye to the mountains of candy on the table.

"Talk to the principal, it's getting late."

Hearing that Dumbledore was stagnated at first, then the expression on his face became serious, and asked:

"All right, Mike. Do you know what happened on Christmas night?"

"If you mean how I spent Christmas Eve, of course." Mike said, "Franklin and I went on a trip to the U.S. and spent a wonderful Christmas there with Abbott."

"Abbot? Do you mean Abbotfelly? Oh, I still remember him, a handsome young man. Has he gone to the United States now? Well, that's right, now it’s pretty good to go to the United States, but ..."

Seeing Dumbledore's tendency to digress again, Snape, who stood behind Mike, couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed deliberately, covering his mouth.

"Sorry, I digressed, I'm very sorry." Dumbledore said, "Let’s get back to business. Mike, I received a message on Christmas Eve that Voldemort was preparing to pass a room on Christmas Eve. The vanishing cabinet in the room assaulted Hogwarts. But he did not come later, which is very strange, because we did find a lot of werewolves and dementors in the Forbidden Forest at that time, and they also admitted that they were Voldemort. Tell them to hide here ready to attack Hogwarts. Can you tell me why Voldemort didn't come that night?"

Dumbledore stared closely at Mike's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from the change in Mike's expression.

But unfortunately, Mike had already started Occlumency, which made him look unwavering and flawless.

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Really? I know." Dumbledore asked again. "Do you know why Voldemort attacked the Ministry of Magic yesterday?"

This time Mike didn't answer immediately, he really didn't know about it.

But under the guise of Occlumency, his performance is still flawless.

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Okay," Dumbledore nodded disappointedly. "It's too early. Why don't you go back and rest first. Oh, right. You really don't need to bring some candy home?"

"No, Principal Dumbledore, good night."

"Good night, Mike."

Seeing Mike slowly disappearing at the door and closing the door, Dumbledore sighed deeply.

Obviously, his heart was not as indifferent as he showed at this moment.

Snape, who had been silent on the side, was even more irritable. As soon as Mike left him, he walked up to Dumbledore and thumped his hands on the desk and roared:

"He lied! He must know something! He doesn't even pretend to pretend now!"

Facing Snape's roar, Dumbledore was not only not angry, but showed a look of pity and slowly said:

"Does it hurt again?"

Hearing this, Snape was taken aback for a moment, then placed his right hand behind him, and said with an unhappy expression:

"No!"

Dumbledore's eyes drooped, looking a little guilty.

He knew very well that the dark mark on Snape's arm had been torturing Snape every moment since Christmas Eve. This was Voldemort's punishment. In Voldemort's eyes, Snape was undoubtedly thrown away. It was still the most hateful. The one.

This is also why Snape has not received any news from Voldemort after so long.

Pursing his lips, Dumbledore asked tentatively:

"Severus, maybe you should take a vacation and take a good rest."

"No! Absolutely not!" Snape had just relaxed a little, and his nerves became tense again. He roared, "Harry has just been kidnapped, and you are telling me to rest now? Then, after I rest, who will pay? Can you stay by his side to protect him? Is it you? With your half-crippled arm?"

Dumbledore did not speak, but silently looked out the window.

And Snape obviously noticed that what he said was a bit heavy, and his tone suddenly eased and said:

"Anyway, I won't rest. In addition, I suggest that you send someone to arrest McTorry and solve it immediately! He is a very dangerous person! Relying on the Los Santos Group, he has developed too many people, maybe One day your worries will come true!"

Dumbledore shook his head insignificantly, still not speaking.

Today’s weather is pretty good, which makes the moonlight tonight extraordinarily bright, and there is a wonderful mood when it shines on people.

And now Dumbledore has been immersed in this mood and cannot extricate himself.

The distraction from Harry had disappeared, and he could see that too.

He even suspected that the kidnapping case was planned by Mike from the beginning, in order to quietly remove Voldemort's spirit from Harry.

After all, if the person who kidnapped Harry was Voldemort, then Harry had absolutely no possibility of surviving.

And this is why Dumbledore didn't want to do anything to Mike.

In his opinion, Mike still has love in his heart, which is enough.

All he cares about is the entire wizarding world. After experiencing the ravages of the Dark Lord twice, he has an instinctive aversion to war.

Can't Dumbledore see the various problems existing in wizarding society now?

Of course he can see it, but he is more inclined to change the world in a gentle and subtle way.

So he didn’t really care about what Mike did. Even if Mike finally became Minister of Magic and started to lean towards non-pure-blood wizards, he would not care. After all, what Mike did was exactly what he did. Expected-to make this world a better place.

But this does not mean that Dumbledore will absolutely trust Mike, because in his opinion, Mike develops too fast.

In the face of such great power and strength, it is difficult for a young man like Mike to control his desires.

‘Don’t let me down, Mike. ’

Looking at the dazzling starry sky outside the window, Dumbledore sighed silently.

...

"Dear Mr. Tony! Is there anything we can help you with?"

In the Hogwarts kitchen, an old house elf was bending over and talking to Mike with joy.

Behind him stood a large number of house elves. They were very respectful, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Mike. This was the result of Mike helping them out during the Clark incident.

"Um, let me order anything." Mike said as if thinking of something and then said, "A little bit is enough. I can't eat too much by myself, don't waste it."

"Okay! Dear Mr. Tony!"

The leading house elf nodded excitedly, and then yelled and directed the other house elf to move.

For a while, the originally silent kitchen became brightly lit again.

At this time, Mike sat in the old seat he used to sit, and threw the Masonic gold coin in his hand with a serious face.

After a while, the color of this gold coin suddenly began to turn red, and Mike quickly grabbed the gold coin and pressed it hard.

"Penello, is there any news?"

"Yes, Mike, we have checked the matter." Penello's voice came out clearly from the gold coin, "Yesterday Voldemort did attack the Ministry of Magic and he went alone. Time is ours. When people were looking for Harry all the Aurors and hitters were assigned to support the Ministry of Magic, so there was no time to take care of us."

"He attacked the Ministry alone? Why?"

"I'm sorry, the reason is unknown."

Mike nodded and continued to ask:

"So, what about the casualties at the Ministry of Magic?"

"Very serious! Almost the entire Auror unit was maimed, and the striker unit suffered a lot of casualties. Even the Minister of Magic Scrimgeour himself was seriously injured and was rescued at St Mungo. Now the entire Ministry of Magic is basically Kingsley Shaker, who replaced Scrimgeour as the acting minister, is trying to restore order, but the effect is minimal, and not many people are willing to listen to him."

At this point, Penello paused suddenly, then said in a trembling voice:

"But the results they have achieved are also very rich!"
