Chapter 26 Night Encounter

Sherry paid attention, avoiding all directions that were frontal to a portrait or statue. Because these things, basically, were Dumbledore's ears and eyes alone, he was able to make all sorts of choices by obtaining information about the anomalies in the school from these places.

By the time Sherry quietly sneaked back to Harry's side once again, the alarm had already been lifted, and the various Heads of Levels brought the students of their own colleges, preparing to return to their respective common rooms. It had to be said that Dumbledore and those professors' reaction could be really fast, and in this moment of time, they had already taken out that troll.

Harry felt a slight sinking on his wrist, there was already one more thing, and his heart, which was originally somewhat suspended, was instantly put down. Honestly followed the head of the hierarchy, walked towards the Ravenclaw common room, this time the Halloween dinner, so the end of the tiger.

The repercussions of this incident were more than just a little, as evidenced by the sudden increase in owls over the halls the next morning. Half of these were letters from parents and the other half were subscriptions to the newspaper.

Harry looked over to the paper in Vincent's hand, only to see that on the front page, a bust of Dumbledore was saying something to the camera. And a line of black headlines, bolded in all caps, indicated the seriousness of the matter. "Hogwarts Halloween Scare, or a Major Blunder by Dumbledore?"

The contributor first posted the Daily Prophet's interview with Dumbledore, who repeatedly stated that this this incident was purely accidental. And that he would investigate Hogwarts' defenses to ensure that such an accident would never happen again.

Then, the Daily Prophet reported in detail about the last accident that happened at Hogwarts and how it was handled in the end. It was said that it was still fifty years ago when a very serious accident happened at Hogwarts, where a female student died and the cause was never found. The principal at the time resigned before Dumbledore took the throne. However, this time, at the Halloween dinner, Hogwarts surprisingly broke into a troll. Fortunately, all the students gathered together and there were no accidents. However, what would have happened if a few students who were not at the dinner happened to run into the troll. In a very worried tone, the contributor was concerned about the safety of the students, while at the same time vaguely revealing a meaning, that is, was Dumbledore too old?

This report, Sherry thought, should be the work of the Minister of Magic. What had to be said was that Dumbledore's achievements and prestige were simply too high. When Dumbledore had resolutely resigned from the position of Minister of Magic, Fudge might have secretly felt happy in his heart, thinking that Dumbledore's brain was sick. But when he now suddenly realized that the vast majority of the British magical world, are under the coverage of Dumbledore's influence, the heart will be very uncomfortable, as well as fear.

Who was the hope in people's hearts when the Dark Lord was on the rampage? The Ministry of Magic? No, it was Dumbledore.

Who single-handedly set up the organization to fight against the Dark Lord and repeatedly achieved results? Auror of the Ministry of Magic? No, it was Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix.

Dumbledore had been Headmaster of Hogwarts for at least fifty years, which, to exaggerate, is three generations grown, and what a massive influence that is! Fudge was a head of government, and his first reaction as head was not how to make his own service to the people and do his job, but to do everything possible to keep his seat. For him, it is not important whether Dumbledore wants to get him out of power or not, but the fact that Dumbledore even has the ability to get him out of power makes it intolerable.

In fact, according to the original plot. Fudge did, on some level, greatly neutralize Dumbledore's influence. This can be seen from the fact that Harry was attacked by a dementor and went to the Ministry of Magic to stand trial. The Chief Wizard of Wizengamot, surprisingly, didn't even know about the change in the time of the trial and almost missed it.

Of course, this fading of influence doesn't happen overnight, it's all measured in years. But the years that faded the most happened to be the years after Harry Potter's enrollment. Starting with the trolls in the first year, the snake monster in the second year, Sirius in the third year, and little Barty in the fourth year, these people or monsters dealt a serious blow to the image that Dumbledore had built up over the years. Dumbledore began to go downhill when people began to wonder if their children were safe at Hogwarts.

"Can't see it, Harry the little guy. In addition to being this world's Destiny's Child, he's actually a sweeper."When Sherry thought about it this way, he realized that Harry was really more dangerous to be around.

"Forget it, it's all irrelevant to me, it's Dumbledore and Fudge fighting to the death, it's none of my business."Sherry considered that he wasn't sending warmth to this world's Ministry of Magic, he came here to dig into this world's corner and mend his own essence. It would be best if he could completely absorb and fuse this world's magic system, making his own magic network, an integral part of this world.

To be honest, Sherry didn't even want to manage Voldemort much. But there was no way around it, one was that Harry was a thorn in Voldemort's side, and would surely try to get rid of it by all means; the second was that Voldemort's taste was too good, and he had almost taken the symbolic items of the four founding fathers and made them into Horcruxes. If Sherry wanted to repair his body, he had to "eat" the representative magic items of this world. The most representative and better to obtain were the relics of the four founders.

In this way, Sherry wanted not to confront Voldemort can not, he must be Voldemort's soul fragments, stripped from these items, which makes Sherry inherently on Dumbledore's side.

Let's say right now, Sherry knew where the Ravenclaw's crown was, and it was easy to fetch it. But what about afterward? Sherry was not sure that he could clean up such a thing similar to a wizard and demon life box, he would have to wait for next year's serpent monster venom to do so.

An accident that did not cause harm could not shake Dumbledore's position. The rumors disappeared within a couple of days, and calm returned to campus life at Hogwarts. Harry wasn't on the Quidditch team, so naturally he didn't give Chilo the chance to get him killed. With Suun's urging, Harry knew how dangerous Chilo was. He even had to pull a few people with him when he passed around Chilo's office.

Time passed quickly and on this day, Harry emerged from Snape's office with a sore back. He sat there and washed his snotty nose for a full two hours, finally getting through a month of confinement. Although he felt physically tired, he was actually relieved.

Walking alone in the corridors at night, surrounded only by the sound of the wind blowing by, seemed a little eerie. But Harry was obviously used to it, and he didn't feel any fear or anything like that. Because of his confinement, Harry hadn't been active with his buddies, for a long time. So he planned to, tomorrow, call everyone and go see Hagrid together.

Just as he was thinking about tomorrow's arrangement, the corner of the corridor in front of him, a figure suddenly walked out. The person hadn't even come close, a strong, nose-scorching smell of garlic had already spread over. Harry's heart sank as he raised his head, and sure enough, he saw that Chilo was walking towards him with a smirk on his face, and the scar on his forehead began to ache faintly and became more and more pronounced as Chilo got closer.

"Don't panic! Stay calm."Sherry's voice was like a stream of fresh water that cleared Harry's somewhat foggy head all of a sudden. "Say hello to the professor as you normally would when you see him."

"Hello! Professor Kilo!"As soon as Harry's voice left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself. There was nothing else to it, it was just too enthusiastic, and it just sounded a little fake.

"Hello! Mr. Wave ... Potter!"Chilo stopped in front of Harry, "It's ... so late, how do you ... how do you have one here in ... this place? "

Harry had a flash of inspiration and hastily explained, "I'm just about to head back to the common room now after my crunch at Professor Snape's, why is the professor over here too?"

Kilo's eyes flashed with realization and mockery, it seemed that the boy, was rejoicing in the fact that he was out of his misery! No wonder he sounded so excited, not like his usual self, while his mouth stammered back, "I have a few questions about ... the magic ... potions.... questions, wanting ... to ask ... Professor Snape to teach ... him!"

"Oh!"Harry nodded with feigned understanding, "I won't keep you any longer then, goodbye, Professor Chilo!"

"Bye! Wave ... Mr. Potter!"Chilo replied, then watched as Harry Potter bounded out of his sight before sneering, Wait until you get away with it for a while longer! As soon as the magic stone arrives, I'll get rid of you for my master.

Pretending to look cheerful, he walked out a long way, and when Sherry was sure that he had reached a safe range, Harry stopped all of a sudden. He couldn't help it he covered his forehead with his hand, in that moment just now, he almost thought his head was about to explode.

"Teacher, what the hell is going on? Why do I feel such a headache when he gets close?"Harry felt like his head had never hurt so much before, and just now he almost screamed out in pain.

"This person has an extremely strong malice, or killing intent towards you, and this malice, triggered something in your scar, so you feel a headache."Sherry replied calmly.

"There's something inside the scar?"Harry was startled, "How come I haven't said anything about this before?"

"I only realized it just now, if it wasn't for Chilo's malice that triggered this thing, I wouldn't have known."Sherry lied, "Exactly what it is and what damage it does, these are still unclear, it will have to wait for me to study it for a while."

"But, you now know why Chilo has malicious intent towards you, right?"Sherry asked.

"Voldemort!"Harry quickly reacted to the scar on his head, left by Voldemort. Surprisingly, Chilo's proximity would cause the scar to ache, so that meant that Chilo must be related to Voldemort. (Unfinished Business)
