A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 383: Conversations and projects

In the thinking cabin, Felix passed a cup of tea.

"It's getting more and more real here," Dumbledore said curiously, he took a sip of the amber liquid, "what kind of tea is this, I don't seem to have drunk it before."

"Ordinary tea, you and I have different tastes." Felix said, he sat opposite Dumbledore, at this time, there were only the two of them here.

"How much time do we have?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"Two and a half minutes," Felix rubbed his head, "if you insist, five minutes at most."

"That's at least a quarter of an hour." Dumbledore nodded slightly and said.

Felix stared at him and rolled his eyes. He raised his legs and said slowly: "Two things, one is to appease the four schools, and the other is to track down the mastermind behind the scenes."

Dumbledore crossed his slender fingers in front of him, "Do you have any insights?"

"The first thing is easy to solve, mainly depends on your opinion."

"My opinion?" said Dumbledore, smiling.

"The contract of the Goblet of Fire cannot be violated, this one can crush them to death, but this will cause a problem, the reputation of Hogwarts will plummet, and the embarrassment will be thrown abroad"

"This is also a scenario I don't want to see." Dumbledore said decisively, "We need to make a certain compromise."

"There are two ways, one is to strengthen the opponent, and the other is to weaken oneself. The former is not advisable, after all, each school has different demands." Felix said calmly.

"Then you can only choose the latter, let's talk about the second thing, this is the key point." Dumbledore said, "Who do you think their target is?"

"It can only be Harry, the most likely possibility." Felix suddenly thought of something: "Sirius mentioned to me during the World Cup that Harry's scar..."

"I know about it, Sirius also wrote me a letter." Dumbledore brought up this topic, and he said in a deep voice: "Speaking of the Goblet of Fire, I once suspected that Harry used some means to get around I passed the Goblet of Fire limit, but when Miss Granger appeared, I knew it was impossible."

"Is it possible to bypass the restriction? I always thought it was a powerful confusion spell..."

Dumbledore smiled: "It is human beings who make the rules of the Goblet of Fire, and human beings will have loopholes. To be honest, I am a little disappointed in the people behind the scenes. The methods are too obvious."

Felix nodded. This is true. If you can find a loophole in the rules, it may be even more confusing. But now, everyone knows that the Goblet of Fire has been artificially disturbed.

The difference is that the other four schools believe that Hogwarts did it, even if they didn't, they took advantage of it.

"So, it's Voldemort?"

"So, Voldemort." Dumbledore said softly, "But based on what I know about him, it is impossible for him to do it himself."

"He must have a helper, the one who attacked Harry with Pettigrew Peter, and maybe there are more." Felix continued along the headmaster's train of thought: "He once ruled half of Britain, it shouldn't be a big deal Difficult."

Speaking of this, his mind turned. The deadline he left for Lucius Malfoy was before Christmas, but now that the situation has changed, it is impossible for him to wait any longer. In addition, according to the feedback from the patron saint of Swift, it seems that the mysterious antique seller also has a relationship with Malfoy Manor. They are inextricably linked...

"No, Felix, you don't know him. Voldemort regards power as the cornerstone of his rule. Without power, he loses the constraints on his subordinates." Dumbledore said with a sigh, "I spent the summer vacation one by one I visited his companions and staff in the orphanage, and the more I got to know him, the more I understood his true nature.”

Felix thought for a while: "So he has been hiding in the Albanian forest all these years, is it also related to this? He doesn't trust anyone after he loses his power, no, it should be said that those he trusted were all imprisoned Azkaban...until Peter Pettigrew found him!"

"You've hit the point." Dumbledore agreed with him.

Felix frowned, "Can you be sure who did it? Theoretically, the four principals and the professors they brought have a chance, even the professors in Hogwarts..."

This range is too large.

"Igor Karkaroff used to be a Death Eater." Dumbledore said calmly, "That's why I stopped Alastor."

"Could it be him?" Felix didn't quite believe it. Karkaroff's reaction was too real. Even if he wanted to clear his suspicions, there was no need to work so hard. The emotions of the other three schools were all controlled by him. agitated.

On the contrary, it was Moody... The past scenes flashed quickly, and some suspicious points were specious, and he couldn't produce any evidence.

"Karkaroff is unlikely. He betrayed his former master and provided a list of Death Eaters after the war." Dumbledore said, "I personally think that Voldemort will not find him. .”

"What about the Imperius Curse? Compound Potion?" Felix said tentatively. He didn't want to talk about this person, but he wanted to see Dumbledore's attitude.

"You still don't understand what I mean, Felix. If it was Voldemort, he would not show his weak side to the former traitor. Live in fear every night until you die silently in a dark corner."

Felix nodded, is this the pride of the Dark Lord? He said softly: "As far as I know, Professor Moody claimed that he had been attacked..."

Dumbledore looked over sharply.

"...I also noticed that he carried a curved wine bottle with him, but I never saw him open it once. It's a bit paranoid, won't he be thirsty?"

Dumbledore stared at him, and after more than ten seconds, he said calmly: "This is just your guess, Alastor's nerves are more sensitive, and he never touches any suspicious food, it's recognized Things. I have known him for more than half a century, longer than Voldemort, and I know him well enough, but I have not found anything suspicious in him."

"We can't lay hands on a person because of guesswork."

"It's 'you' who won't do anything to people because of speculation." Felix deliberately emphasized.

Dumbledore fell silent.

"Dumbledore," Felix said, "we shouldn't keep potential threats around," his tone sank, "at least try it out."

After a moment of silence

"What are you going to do?"

"The Imperius Curse, Polyjuice Potion, and memory modification are the three methods I can think of, but the third method cannot be verified without subduing Professor Moody." Felix said, he Also piggybacking on other people to make himself look less aimed at Moody: "Of course, it is also applicable to other people."

"The premise is that they are not willing to become Voldemort's lackeys." Dumbledore added.

"That's right, if I am willing, my means are very limited. A dark wizard who dares to make trouble in front of your eyes will definitely be on guard against Legilimency." Felix also felt tricky, "Is it still Let me check his memory a little bit, what is the difference between this and stripping him naked?"

If you make a mistake, you will create a deadly enemy for yourself.

Why do wizards value their own memories? Because their fears are justified, wizards really have the means to modify, forge and erase other people's memories.

"I'll do it, Felix, I'll go and talk to Alastor." Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Imperius Curse, Polyjuice Potion, I will verify both methods, but Probing memory, I disagree, that is the greatest humiliation to Alastor.”

"But..."

"Unless there is no more obvious evidence, I do not agree to use any excessive behavior." He said without doubt, "Besides, if he has no problems, I plan to let him pay attention to suspicious people around him..."

Felix shrugged, "I'm waiting for your answer." He snapped his fingers to dissipate the magic, and the two returned to reality.

In the room, Mrs. Maxim was staring at herself. She looked angry, her chest in black satin heaved violently, and she seemed to punch him in the next second, but she might have thought that he still had a schoolmaster With Dong's identity, he barely held back.

She was silent and did not speak. Karkaroff finally recovered from Moody's shadow, and said impatiently: "What is the small problem? How to solve it? You stared at each other for half the time." It's been a minute, don't talk, don't think you can fool the past like this. If there is no good way, then let go of Durmstrang and allow them to use any means"

"Principal Karkaroff," Felix looked at him and said, "Your students have more restrictions than you can imagine"

"What did you say?" Karkaroff stared.

"I have a question, is Durmstrang a school for dark wizards?"

"This is slander! Mr. Crouch, do you hear that?"

"Listen to me," Felix stared at him, "Durmstrang is the most open about the black arts, that's true. But it doesn't mean, Durmstrang Lang is a school that 'specially' teaches black magic, and black magic only occupies a very small part of the teaching content, at least I can't see much shadow of black magic from your textbooks..."

"Black magic is the most widely used in duels, but don't you teach disarming spells? Stunning spells? Iron armor spells?"

Felix said slowly: "Black magic is only an effective supplement, but it will never become the mainstream of a magic school with open enrollment. No matter how much you like black magic, you should keep in mind This!"

Karkaroff couldn't speak.

If he admits that Durmstrang mainly teaches black magic, then the reputation of this school will be completely stink tomorrow. As the headmaster, he must stand up to justify himself and the school.

Karkaroff blushed and said: "Black magic is just a part of Durmstrang~IndoMTL.com~ We have the ability to solve its side effects. There are special professors in the school who will evaluate the students' learning progress, Selectively teach black magic to students."

That's what I said, but in private, many professors turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and won't pursue it too much. This is why Durmstrang has a reputation for advocating black magic.

The reason why Durmstrang did not become a black wizard concentration camp is indeed related to the system of this school. They did follow certain review standards. The advantage of this approach is that even if some students practice black magic in private, they don't dare to use it publicly, so the number of times they practice is not much, and the impact on their xinxing is not serious.

"What about the extra group of warriors at Hogwarts?" Karkaroff changed the subject bluntly.

"It's very simple. Since you all regard it as an advantage of Hogwarts, then turn it into a disadvantage." Felix glanced lightly at the warriors and the headmaster present. Concerned about whether there is a dark wizard secretly coveting Harry, or Durmstrang's teaching, they just want to know how to weaken one side reasonably before the game.

"Principal Dumbledore, Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman, I suggest that Hogwarts scores should be calculated according to the average value."
