Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 209 207. The Ever-changing Sirius

"Dangerous?" Hearing the word, Dudley raised his eyebrows, and he was sure he heard it right.

Which is more dangerous, Sirius, a basilisk, a Horcrux, or Voldemort's remnant?

Obviously, it was just an excuse that Dumbledore didn't want him to intervene.

"I just want to solve the problem in front of me as soon as possible. Those dementors control the outside of the castle, making Hogwarts shrouded in dark clouds all day long. It is rainy and lifeless almost every day, making the surroundings smoky and making me and my team members unable to exercise properly."

"And I've received feedback from quite a few little wizards that the dementors have already shown their intention to attack them."

The group of dementors barely restrained themselves after being thrown out by Dumbledore at the dinner party, but recently they became active again.

This kind of thing is an evil spirit that is more disgusting than black magic creatures. It doesn't have much IQ, and if it develops, it will cause problems sooner or later.

It is better to expect Voldemort to become a good man than to expect them to abide by the agreement of the Ministry of Magic.

"Dudley, bear with me, it's the Ministry of Magic's request after all."

Dumbledore took out another cockroach, threw it into his mouth and ate it.

When school just started, many young wizards sent letters to their families. They thought that a guy like Fudge, who listened to the wind and rain, would give in immediately and remove the dementors as soon as possible. But this time, Fudge, who has never had any opinions, turned out to be extremely tough and insisted on letting the dementors garrison Hogwarts.

Even after receiving so many complaint letters, he remains indifferent.

This left the wizards who sent the letter with nothing to do, and only Fudge could make the decision. He was the Minister of Magic, theoretically the most powerful man in England.

But it is certain that Fauci's approval rating has dropped significantly.

But it's better to go down than to drop the black hat directly.

Dudley sighed: "If they really strictly abide by the rules of the Ministry of Magic, don't attack Hogwarts students, and don't provoke me."

"Professor Dumbledore, I would like to make a small comment. I don't really agree with your repeated tolerance to the Ministry of Magic. You are the headmaster of Hogwarts, and your duty should be to be responsible for the safety of all students."

"Don't forget, in addition to being the headmaster of Hogwarts, you are also the head wizard of the Wizengamot."

The Wizengamot is a magical organization established earlier than the Ministry of Magic, an organization similar to a combination of a court and a parliament, and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot is the highest official of the organization.

In theory, the power is not inferior to the Ministry of Magic.

But. Dumbledore, the chief, is in a state of complete delegation.
The headmaster of Hogwarts and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot are comparable to the top of the Ministry of Magic no matter what level they are, and they are not inferior to Fudge in politics.

Knowing something about Dumbledore's deeds, he understood that Dumbledore no longer wanted to participate in any power struggles.

But it's not something you can't get away with if you don't want to.

Brother Xun, a great sage, said it well: 'As long as a person is alive, he is in the arena. Where there are people, there will be a arena. '

As long as Dumbledore lives, he will still be in the power struggle, even if he makes it clear that he is tired of the power center.

Escape is useless.

Because other people don't think so.

Power blinds people and loses them.

Putting down these words, Dudley left the principal's office, and gave Fox another bag of rations before leaving.

He could understand Dumbledore, but he didn't agree.

After Dudley left, the portraits of the principals of all ages came alive, expressing their views one after another.

"Dumbledore, I think he's right." A calm female voice sounded, which surprised the principals around.

She seldom expresses her opinion, and usually just listens.

But she was unanimously respected by all the principals.

Her name is Phyllida Spur, the oldest principal in the portraits of past principals, and the first principal with a portrait.

"In my time, there was no Ministry of Magic at all, only the Council of Wizards."

"The Wizarding Council is responsible for managing the wizarding world, while Hogwarts is responsible for teaching outstanding wizards. There is a clear division of labor without interfering with each other."

"At Hogwarts, only the headmaster has the final say, and even the speaker has to stand aside."

"There is nothing wrong with Dumbledore's emphasis on power, but what we should do is to face it squarely, rather than blindly stay away from it."

"Phyllida, I understand, I know." Dumbledore said softly, his voice getting smaller and smaller: "Let me think about it."

----

The fact that Sirius broke into Gryffindor caused quite a stir.

As long as they have free time, the little wizards are discussing this matter, and the rumors are getting more and more suspenseful.

Some say that Sirius was able to incarnate into a flowering bush, escaped the pursuit of dementors, and sneaked into Hogwarts.

Some say that Sirius passed through the wall like a ghost, so the dementors couldn't find him at all.

The most outrageous thing is that Sirius turned into dried potion after entering the castle, which was hidden in Snape's potion room.

What he said was a serious matter, even the magic spell that turned into an air-dried potion was fiddled with.

Dudley scoffed at this statement, and if Sirius dared to hide there, Snape would certainly not mind slicing and mashing it for him, throwing it into the cauldron and cooking it into a pile of mess.

However, rumors are just rumors, and these are only circulated among young wizards, and the facts may be completely different from their imaginations.

Is it possible that Sirius just entered Hogwarts through some secret passage in Hogwarts Castle?

No possibility, the little wizards think that this is not exciting at all, not magical at all, not magical at all.

So this conjecture has no market among young wizards.

Even if this is the closest guess to the truth.

Days passed by, and there was still no sign of Sirius. This guy seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't appear again after his appearance.

During this time, Defense Against the Dark Arts went from the least popular subject to the most popular.

The courses taught by Lupine are really interesting. They are basically practical courses, and they will never be repeated. They are all about dealing with all kinds of black magic creatures.

For example, the red hat, a bloodthirsty, cruel and very difficult little monster, has a danger level of 4X. As long as it smells blood in the wild, it will appear immediately, and it will continue to attack travelers until the opponent dies.

For example, Kabbah, a magical aquatic creature that likes to eat human blood, will drag lost people into the water and drown them to death, and then suck their blood. The danger level is also 4X. It looks like a monkey, and it is also nicknamed a water monkey.

Lupine tirelessly taught the young wizards the subtle skills of dealing with these dark magic creatures, which benefited everyone a lot.

Even Dudley praised Lupine's teaching methods.

A lot of knowledge cannot be learned from books.
