Eighty-two, Dumbledore: The Ministry of Magic (Part 1)(2/2)
"Okay, Horns, let's not go round in circles.
You give me your hidden memories, and I will make you a promise.
If Tom really comes back, I will give you all the help I can. You can come to Hogwarts to take refuge, or you can choose to leave the UK and take refuge in any other country with my help. I will do what I say.
"
Dumbledore gave Horns an oath of protection.
Horns suddenly retracted his arms.
"Tell me to think about it."
Horns' expression immediately changed.
One good thing about Dumbledore is that the promises he made did not need to be reinforced by magic at all. What he said was more reliable than an unbreakable oath. This was the charm of his personality.
Even Death Eaters were willing to believe Dumbledore's oath. After he promised to protect him, Horns really remembered something.
"Oh, I remembered something trivial.
I do have a little memory, which I kept in a memory bottle."
As if he suddenly remembered this matter, he stood up, tapped his wand a few times in front of himself, and then reached out and pulled out a bottle from the air.
"Very clever magic."
Dumbledore's eyes lit up. He was very interested in this magic. Horns threw the memory bottle to Dumbledore. Dumbledore carefully put it away, stuffed it into his pocket, and prepared to leave.
He has other things to deal with.
Can't stay here too long.
But before leaving, Horns asked behind him: "Dumbledore, the Dark Lord's mark that appeared recently is him coming back, isn't it?"
Dumbledore turned around and looked at him over his glasses.
"I'm afraid it's possible, Horns. Remember my promise, my promise is valid at all times."
He said, then waved his hands to leave.
"Wait, Dumbledore."
Horns, who was wearing purple pajamas, thought about it carefully, took a sip of the unknown drink in his hand, stopped Dumbledore and said: "There is one more thing, well, this time it really happened to me. I suddenly remembered it.
matter.
I just don't know if this news will be helpful to you.
It's also about that person.
During the time when he graduated and left Hogwarts to go to Borgin Bock's Shop, he and I also communicated through owls.
At that time, he mentioned something."
Horns mentioned a name, and Dumbledore nodded when he heard the name.
"Thank you, Horns, your news is very important to me."
After he finished speaking, he apparated and disappeared.
Horns looked at Dumbledore leaving with a sad face.
He knew he had to move again.
Wand in hand, he sighed.
Tom Riddle, what a good boy he was when he was a child, why did he grow up like this?
…
London.
Dumbledore appeared outside London, and the anti-Apparition spell set up by the Ministry of Magic in London was like a joke to him.
Fortunately, Dumbledore was not going to slap the Ministry of Magic in the face, so he chose another method to enter London.
In the bustling street, no one saw a white-bearded wizard beside him. Dumbledore looked curiously at the various Muggle technologies, subways, high-rise buildings, cars, and all kinds of gadgets. He came to the dilapidated telephone booth at the Ministry of Magic's Guest House in London.
In this dilapidated phone booth, he told his purpose.
"Guests, items, Albus Dumbledore, wants to meet Bob Ogden."
The female voice from the Guest Department rang out and sent Dumbledore to the main hall of the Ministry of Magic. Although the Ministry of Magic was already in a mess, I have to say that the building of the Ministry of Magic still looks beautiful.
Spotless dark wooden floors, peacock blue ceilings, double-sided fireplaces with people constantly leaving and coming back, and a fountain not far away.
It's also pretty impressive.
The famous "Magic is Power" sculpture and the "Stone Statue of the Magic Brothers" were still spraying water. When Dumbledore walked over, he also threw a few silver Sickles into the statue of the Magic Brothers and donated them to St. Mungo's. Magic hospital.
When the surrounding wizards saw Dumbledore, they all began to whisper. There had been some discordant voices in the Ministry of Magic recently.
What these voices mean is that Fudge is not suitable to be the Minister of Magic - this is an obvious thing. What they mean is that Dumbledore is the perfect Minister of Magic.
Maybe that Death Eater was right.
Dumbledore is the savior of the wizarding world.
Fudge was very angry about this.
Why did Dumbledore come to the Ministry of Magic at this time?
Are you really here to force Gong Fuji?
If so, that would be great!
Everyone was curious, but Dumbledore went straight to the second floor of the Ministry of Magic, which is the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
Fudge's office is on the first floor.
Dumbledore had no intention of meeting Fudge, and not everyone wanted to be a boy's mother.
Especially when Fudge is unable to help himself.
Dumbledore met many old friends on the road. He said hello to these old friends and then came to Ms. Burnsch's door.
Without knocking, he heard someone roaring inside.
The voice is still very familiar.
Like Mad-Eye Moody.
"Who disapproved my retirement order? Fudge, or you?"
Mad-Eye Moody asked loudly. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and opened the door.
All three people looked at him. After realizing that the person coming was Dumbledore, Ms. Burnsch and Scrimgeour both stood up.
"Ah, it's you. Why did you come to the Ministry of Magic?"
Mad-Eye Moody said, visible to the naked eye, his attitude towards Dumbledore was much better, but before that, he and Dumbledore still exchanged gestures secretly, Dumbledore understood very well the shameful purpose neurotic.
"What's wrong?"
Dumbledore curiously asked the three people who were at war with each other. Mad-Eye Moody said very unkindly: "Nothing happened, Dumbledore."
