The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

The question raised by Cedric is the core topic they will discuss when they get together this time.

It is also what everyone cares about the most.

Link looked around, seeing the anxious expressions of Cedric and others, and could clearly perceive this.

He nodded, got up and said:

"This is a very difficult decision, but I believe you already have the answer in your heart?"

Cedric continued:

"Actually, we don't mean to drive Dumbledore away completely.

In terms of goals, we and Dumbledore are actually on the same path.

We just want to have some right to speak and power, so that we will not be sacrificed at will.

isn't it?

So, Link, do it! "

Cedric's words brought a smile to Link's mouth again.

He nodded to Cedric, and then said:

"Then, let's do it.

Use the D.A. Army as bait to officially lure Umbridge into the game, let's start the collision!

Guys, the future belongs to us! "

As soon as this remark came out, Cedric and the others present clenched their fists excitedly.

They have put in so much effort before, all for this moment.

For this, they have waited too long.

Newland, who was silent at the side all the time, jumped out and said excitedly:

"Then let me go, I will deliberately leak information about the D.A. Army to Umbridge, so that..."

Newland suddenly got stuck in the middle of his speech.

Because he found that Link, even Sceffen and the others were all looking at him like a fool.

This made him a little confused, even angry.

You must know that if he really did such a thing, it would be tantamount to exchanging his own credit and face for the success of the D.A. Army.

Such courage was rarely seen in a senior Slytherin like him.

If Link hadn't opened up the entire library to him without reservation and moved him with sincerity, he wouldn't have made such a decision even if he was killed.

But right now, this group of people are looking at him with such eyes?

Newland frowned angrily and said:

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?!"

Hearing that Link and Emily looked at each other, they sighed and said:

"Newland, have you never had a rest since we opened the library?"

"Of course," Newland said as a matter of course, "With so much fresh and advanced knowledge, how could I possibly be able to sleep?"

Sceffen couldn't help laughing, covered his mouth and said:

"Your brain is not very useful in the first place, so don't forget to eat and sleep like me. Otherwise, I'm afraid the remaining IQ will disappear."

"What did you say!?"

Newland roared out immediately when he heard the words.

Ordinary classmates would often retaliate cruelly for their belittling, but even if he did so, in fact he still didn't take these belittlings to heart.

Because the level of these people is too low.

He would humbly accept accusations from Link, Emily, or other professors against him.

Because these people are indeed strong.

Before he himself is not strong enough, everything the other party says is right.

Not to mention that Link still treats him sincerely.

Only in the face of Sceffen's belittling, would he be furious on the spot without reservation.

Newland himself didn't quite understand the reason for this.

But it is undeniable that Sceffen is really different in his heart.

Seeing that Newland was really impatient, Link shook his head and said directly:

"Newland, we don't need you to leak information."

Hearing that Newland's plan to find Sceffen to have a good theory theory suddenly came to a standstill.

He looked at Link in confusion and said:

"But...why? I should be the best candidate, otherwise how would Umbridge discover the existence of the D.A. Army? How would he get involved?"

"idiot!"

Emily scolded mercilessly,

"Didn't you notice that there are a lot fewer members of the D.A. Army who came to the rally today?"

Newland said in a daze:

"You mean..."

"That's right," Cedric smiled wryly, "They all went to Umbridge's inspection team training."

Cedric got up and bowed to Link, "I didn't do a good job in this matter.

I just promised you that no member of the D.A. Army should join Umbridge in a short period of time, but it turned out..."

Link shook his head with a smile and said:

"No, I can't blame you, who made Umbridge give too many bargaining chips?

That's an Auror identity.

Even though the Auror status is not as expensive as before after the expansion of enrollment, the treatment has not declined.

Not many people can resist this temptation. "

Newland had already figured it out completely at this time, he lowered his head and said:

"So, among those members of the D.A. Army who joined Umbridge's inspection team, some of them will soon use the intelligence of the D.A. Army as a certificate of recognition and give it to Umbridge in exchange for benefits?"

Link nodded and said:

"Betrayal has always been a heavy topic.

But for us now, overall it can be regarded as a good thing.

At the very least, this can purify our ranks.

You can also save your reputation.

What we have to do next is just to prepare and hold D.A. meetings continuously.

I believe that Umbridge will come to the door soon. "

As Link spoke, he twirled his D.A. gold coin in his hand.

Under his urging, the gold coin was gradually emitting heat, and the number on it representing the assembly date was also constantly changing.

...

at the same time.

In the principal's office just a few walls away from the Room of Requirement.

Harry had already repeated to Dumbledore what he had said to Link and others in the Response Room.

Dumbledore stopped the quill in his hand upon hearing this, and looked at Harry in silence.

After a long time, Dumbledore took off his glasses and said:

"Thank you for telling me that, Harry, you're a good boy."

A flush rose on Harry's face, and he said eagerly:

"Then we should hurry up and act! Although I don't know what Voldemort wants from the Department of Mysteries, we should stop him no matter what!"

"Yeah, we have to stop him, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

"What are you going to do about it?"

Harry asked hurriedly, his eyes were so bright.

Dumbledore paused, and then said:

"I have my own way of dealing with it, so you don't have to worry. What you should do now is to practice Occlumency well, and go back to sleep early."

Harry's breathing suddenly became short of breath.

He opened and closed his mouth as if to stop his words, but just as the words came to his lips, his face turned pale as if he had thought of something, and he forcibly covered his mouth and whimpered and said:

"I know you are playing me off, afraid that Voldemort will get information here through me!

You all don't believe me!

But I'm sure I did see it! "

"No, I believe in you, really." Dumbledore said sincerely, "But I must also consider the safety of other members of the Order of the Phoenix. As the president of the Order of the Phoenix, I must be cautious."

Harry rubbed a strand of hair vigorously, and lowered his head.

But soon he said again:

"What about Snape? He's a spy, I saw that with my own eyes, not through some dream!"

Professor McGonagall, who had been standing beside Harry, frowned and said:

"Professor Snape! I don't remember teaching you to call the teacher who taught you that! Harry..."

Professor McGonagall wanted to continue to say something, but Dumbledore waved his hand and said:

"I don't agree with you on this point, Severus is absolutely impossible to betray."

Harry raised his head abruptly when he heard the words and asked:

"Why do you think so? He is so bad! There are not many people in Hogwarts who like him at all! If you want me to say, it is not Professor Trelawney who should be expelled, but Snape !"

"20 points deducted from Gryffindor!" Professor McGonagall screamed, "Mr. Potter! You really let me down!"

Harry's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head again.

Dumbledore on the other side smiled wryly and shook his head.

Of course Snape would not join Voldemort.

This is simply impossible.

Even if Snape wanted to join him, he should have joined the Foley family. How could it be Voldemort?

This is simply outrageous shouting outrageous he opened the door - outrageous home!

You know Voldemort killed his favorite woman!

The hatred of killing one's father, the hatred of taking one's wife.

There is no other hatred in this world more blazing than these two.

However, Dumbledore couldn't tell Harry about this.

This was Snape's biggest secret, and the biggest wound on Snape's soul.

Unless Snape wanted to, Dumbledore felt that even he was not qualified to open all these wounds.

This was a secondary injury to Snape.

Dumbledore sighed and emphasized again:

"In short, it is absolutely impossible for Severus, your Professor Snape, to join Voldemort.

He's acting so... so twisted, but believe me, he doesn't love you any less than Blake. "

This time Harry didn't object.

But just look at his tightly clenched fists and you should know that he doesn't believe it, nor is he convinced.

Dumbledore looked away helplessly, and nodded with Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall understood immediately, and pulled Harry, who was still stubborn there, towards the door.

But when he was about to walk outside the door, Harry suddenly turned his head, and whispered to Dumbledore with some grievances:

"It's a shame that Link and I trust you so much!"

Bang——

The wooden door of the office was completely closed, but Dumbledore was still staring at the door, his expression mixed with various emotions such as relief, vigilance, and suspicion, which was very complicated.

The mist rose again from the surface of the double-sided mirror by the eagle foot table.

Grindelwald's deep voice came from it:

"You should treat this child better.

Regardless of whether it's a trap or not, your next investigation target is also the Department of Mysteries, isn't it?

Then why not make up some nice words to calm the child's heart? "

Dumbledore still stared at the doorway:

"That's true, but...but that kid is different after all."

Grindelwald said in a sarcastic tone:

"Ha! He's the savior! Isn't he?"

Dumbledore didn't answer, just shook his head, put on his glasses again and said:

"What do you think about the prophecy that Sybil made today?"

"What do I think? I think she's a fart!" Grindelwald said rudely, "You shouldn't be too obsessed with so-called prophecies, those things are simply unbelievable!"

"You also think I believed her prophecy?" Dumbledore suddenly smiled happily, "This shows that my plan was successful, even you believed it."

As soon as this remark came out, the speed of the fog on the surface of the double-sided mirror was significantly accelerated.

After a long silence, Grindelwald continued:

"It turns out that the most basic requirement for the prophecy to come true is that someone is willing to believe in the prophecy.

You want to make this future line come true, so that Voldemort will be completely wiped out.

And the reason why you brought up a new prophecy to me now is because you are worried that Link's kid will use the same means as you to make the prophecy come true? "

"Gellert, you always know me best." Dumbledore sighed, "Link... I actually have some doubts that he has already started to do this.

Otherwise, with his temper, how could he help Sybil out of this? "

Grindelwald said with some gloating:

"Why do your students always make things up?

First Newt Scamander, then Tom Riddle, and now Link Foley.

And this Link Foley is obviously more difficult than the previous two.

what! The prediction that your fortune teller gave him this time is heavier than any previous one!

There are two future lines hidden in it! "

"Link is not only my student, but also yours, and you are also responsible for this." Dumbledore frowned, and said in a rare way, "But I'm not as worried about the prophecy as you said.

After all, one of those two future lines is actually pretty good.

Moreover, the prophecy has already stated the solution to the matter. "

Grindelwald said:

"You mean... love?"

"That's right, it's love!" Dumbledore said happily, "The power of love is great. To be honest, this kid Link is similar to Tom when he was young in terms of talent and ideas. But they are different after all!

Link, have love! "

"That's only temporary!" Grindelwald retorted, "The blood power in his body has become more and more active, which can be seen from the changes in his personality.

Sooner or later, he will wake up.

And you should also be clear about the necessary conditions for bloodline awakening, right?

Once he did those things, the so-called love ceased to exist!

In other words, he will inevitably become a slave of blood! "

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

"No, I will avoid this from happening, and I will continue to lead him forward. This is for him, and it is for the whole world."

As soon as Dumbledore said such a high-sounding sentence, a series of ridicules sounded in the double-sided mirror.

It's just that the laughter stopped abruptly after a short while.

"Have you noticed," Grindelwald said suddenly and solemnly, "you have actually believed what was said in that prophecy.

And this is what that kid Link wants.

Do you really want to follow him? "

Dumbledore suddenly smiled happily:

"Why not? He's the best kid I've ever raised. And we're responsible for his misfortune, aren't we?"

Grindelwald gritted his teeth and said:

"You can even give him Hogwarts for that?"

"Hogwarts is not something I can give him if I want. The most important thing in it is people's hearts." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "What he can take away is at best some power, and it is not enough to destroy the entire Hogwarts." Watts took it."

After the words fell, there was another long silence in the office.

After a long time, Grindelwald sighed and said:

"All right!

Like we used to say when we were young.

It's all for the greater good! "
