Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

The Acromantula, which was scared away by the phoenix flames, was squatting together obediently. The five-legged monster chewed the Acromantula's legs while letting out a low, menacing roar. When the spider escaped, he Already set out.

After all, he knew that Luo Luo would not want these groups of Acromantulas to run around and then start causing trouble in the Forbidden Forest.

Maybe it's just because of pure greed?

The magical creatures that took turns not long ago stepped out of the shadows of the forest. They crowded behind Rollo. Although they didn't talk much to each other, they got along quite well.

These are the top predators in the Forbidden Forest. Without external reasons, it would be impossible for them to get together.

"Perhaps I should congratulate you, you have initially explored your own abilities?"

"Although I didn't watch the whole thing, I have to say that it was a wonderful hunting operation."

"How did you guess that someone would come to the Forbidden Forest to harm the unicorn tonight? I'm curious."

As the principal of Hogwarts, there was nothing wrong with Dumbledore being the first to speak, even if it contained some obscure "questioning". Rollo had no real ability to bargain with Dumbledore.

"Perhaps you should know about the outstanding achievements of centaurs in astrology. Coincidentally, I have a good relationship with the current high priest. A few months ago, she told me a prophecy about the death of unicorns. prophecy."

"Perhaps you can lend a hand and help clean up the dark magic on this guy's wound?"

"Of course, that's no problem."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, then walked to the injured unicorn's side, took out his wand and scratched the wound, pulling out a thin thread of black mist.

"You can get rid of the remaining unicorns by yourself. They are holy beings and are naturally capable of purifying black magic."

Under Dumbledore's ultra-strong healing spell, the wound that was so deep that the bones and even the internal organs could be seen healed quickly, leaving only an undetectable slit in the end.

"You are a very kind child." Dumbledore turned to Rollo after treating the wound. "Having the courage to take action to protect an innocent life is a noble act that should be praised. If it weren't for you , that person’s plan will be completed.”

"Maybe." Rollo didn't care whether he was considered kind or not. He didn't care about other people's comments. "I'm not that noble and pure. I just want to get along well with these stubborn horses."

"The unicorns think I'm unclean, and I owe them a lot of debt for no reason. I'll just treat it as interest."

Rollo held up the one-horned horse's head and rubbed her fleshy face vigorously.

"In the future, please don't think about the impolite thing of nailing me to a tree with a horn. Also, I can't decide my birth. Maybe you think my colorful body is offensive to you, but I also There is no way to change all this, and I have inherited the blood of Sad Wind, so why am I not a victim?"

"Go back and think about it, but don't tell me that your smart little minds can't figure out such a simple truth. Do you hear me?"

The unicorn held by Rollo gently rubbed the side of Rollo's face. After the remaining dark magic power in her body was roughly cleared, her body no longer suffered the same pain as before.

"Then have a good rest. I'll ask Biting to find your tribe. The unicorns probably won't have any objections to the Thestrals, right? They are very well-behaved horses."

Compared with the naturally proud unicorns, the Thestrals, who are equally smart as them, have a much gentler personality. Although they have dragon heads and like to eat meat and can only be seen by people who have seen death, they are indeed magical creatures with very gentle personalities. biology.

"One last thing." Rollo shook the glass container in his hand, which contained a bottle full of silver blood, which was the blood that just flowed out of the unicorn's wound. "It's all leaking out anyway. Here you go." You won't think it's dirty if you transfuse it back, so just give this blood to me, and I'll get you something good to replenish your health in a few days."

A gentle cry came from the unicorn's mouth. She touched the glass bottle containing her blood with her horn. The originally dull silver blood seemed a little brighter at this moment.

The blood that was allowed to be taken away no longer had the fatal curse of the unicorn.

"Then have a good rest, your tribe will be here soon."

The unicorn closed her eyes and fell asleep tiredly. She was already a little exhausted at the moment.

"At least one liter of unicorn blood." Even Dumbledore couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw the glass bottle, "How do you plan to use it?"

"Save some for spare. The rest of the auction is worth at least forty to five million galleons. The pure blood of unicorns has not been circulated on the market for at least three centuries. I have to give them a killing."

"Those rich old men who are about to die are absolutely willing to spend all their money to buy it. The blood will at least give them a second spring and extend their lives for another three to forty years. Of course, it would be better to cooperate with Professor Snape. I just hope that he is not as big as a lion. Opening his mouth would ruin the close teacher-student relationship between him and me."

Rollo got a headache when he thought of Snape's stingy appearance. There was more than one potions master in the world, but there were only a small number of them. Selling raw materials would cost him at least twice as much as selling finished potions. Rollo I would rather earn less than be tricked by a strange potion master.

Dumbledore, who was smiling, could probably guess what was causing Rollo's headache. According to Snape's character, he could steal a third of this bottle of unicorn blood if he had a bad heart.

"But I really didn't expect that you were going to sell it. You would also be short of money?"

Dumbledore, who had seen the Rollo family treasury, knew very well how rich this child was.

"How dare you say such a thing? I don't know how many swimming pools can be filled with more than 3000 million gold galleons. You haven't seen my pitiful treasury. It can almost run away with mice. It's not like you can't guess it." , the purpose of establishing the foundation is to buy the Ministry of Magic, and I am very short of money."

This big news really surprised Dumbledore. He understood that Rollo's Charity and Guardianship Foundation was to pave the way for his future political career, but the idea of ​​buying the Ministry of Magic was really a bit... daring.

"We don't all practice capitalism now, right? In that case, is there a problem with my ambition being bigger? And don't you think this is a very interesting thing?"

"In order for my future research to prevent me from being imprisoned in Azkaban, then I will have to change the law myself. This is very appropriate, right?"

Dumbledore, who was completely speechless about Rollo's brain circuit, covered his head with a headache. He wondered for a long time that this guy actually had such an idea...

But it's quite appropriate to think about it this way. Compared with Voldemort's stupid way of seizing power, this is indeed a very clever method that no one will refuse.

After everyone's stomachs are fed, the objections will naturally disappear. Of course, when that day comes, the day will come when the butcher's knife is waved against them.

Dumbledore had no doubt that Rollo had prepared to fatten the pig before killing it. He would eat it now and spit it out twice as much later.

But what does this have to do with Dumbledore?He was just the principal of the school, and unless he gave Rollo to Katcha now, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

"Now that we've finished chatting, let me ask a question, Professor Dumbledore."

"Why did you let go of that guy who was already trapped in my net?"

"Fox's flames did hurt him, even seriously, but it didn't kill him. Even before you stopped him, you could have caught that damn bastard."

"You know who he is, right? Why are you doing this?"

Rollo, who had already determined that he was not affected by Legilimency, hid the fact that he knew it was Quirrell. He was waiting for Dumbledore's answer, waiting for him to tell the answer he wanted.

"Yes I know."

A simple lie could not give a satisfactory answer to the child, and it was indeed him who deliberately let that guy go. This was all true, and Dumbledore could not deny it.

"All I can say is, he can't die here, he's a bait and I need to use him to catch a fish."

"What if your bait is the fish itself, Professor?"

Rollo sighed inwardly with some disappointment. Dumbledore did not choose to tell him the truth, which also meant that Dumbledore still had not made up his mind after reading the book he gave him.

This answer made Rollo unsatisfied. What he needed was Albus Dumbledore to become "one of his own", not his principal, Professor Dumbledore.

He wants to tie Dumbledore to his chariot, and the bargaining chip to tie Dumbledore is "Ariana resurrected as a clone."

What technology cannot do is made up for by magic, and the shortcomings that magic needs to make up for are made up by technology. The scope of the Charity and Guardian Fund is far beyond the magical world, but the time has not come yet. If you want to intervene in the Muggle world openly, Rollo The gatekeeper of the Ministry of Magic needs to be turned into its own tool.

In two years, three years, or a little more time, the agent he trained can kick Fudge out of his position as minister, and then solve the obstacles from the Ministry of Magic for him according to his own will. By then, his research will Even more perfect than it is now, what is just a dream bubble now will have the possibility to become a reality.

"The fish you want to catch is Voldemort, right?"

Rollo said the name calmly, and his calm look made Dumbledore's eyes tighten slightly.

"Harry has discovered the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, and of course I know it too."

"The attack on Gringotts was related to Harry and Hagrid going to Gringotts to pick up a certain packet. You already pointed out the entrance guarded by Lu Wei at the beginning of the school year. If I guessed correctly, that person is Quirrell, he tried to attack Harry during the Quidditch match, but Professor Snape interfered with him."

"Nothing is more tempting to Voldemort than the Philosopher's Stone that can create the elixir of immortality. Didn't you arrange all this just to fish out his existence?"

"Perhaps you have other plans, such as playing a daredevil game to transform Harry from the Boy Who Lived to the man who defeated Voldemort, allowing the weak Voldemort to be defeated by Harry, and strengthening his strength step by step. Faith eventually becomes a warrior who saves the world.”

"I hope your guess is wrong. You have a more clever plan that I didn't see. If it's the second one, that would be great."

"Pinning the hope of saving the magical world on an 11-year-old boy, don't you think it's cruel? He should have had a fulfilling childhood, and maybe he didn't have as much fun as I did, but he was still very happy."

"Why are you doing this? Is Voldemort worth so much?"

"In other words, is it worth Harry sacrificing his life for this?"

Rollo, who had completely pierced the window paper, no longer had any room left. Rollo, who had already revealed his ambition, his own abilities, and his own methods, did not care to reveal a little more of his extraordinary acumen and mind to Dumbledore. Because this does not make him continue to be special. In Dumbledore's eyes, he is already special enough.

"Perhaps everyone who treats you as a child should examine themselves for their thoughts." Dumbledore said with a wry smile.

"Including you?" Rollo asked.

"Maybe there is one thing. I really didn't expect that you would have found the truth from these clues."

"It's not surprising." Rollo shook his head. "Ever since I experienced those things, I have become very sensitive to everything around me. I will constantly explore what is in it and whether they will hurt me. .”

"I'm very afraid of death, Professor. I managed to survive with great difficulty. I don't want to die a second time."

Dumbledore, who showed a hint of understanding, had a slight realization in his eyes. Yes, after experiencing the destruction of his family, it was normal for the child Rollo to become sensitive. Such remarks made Dumbledore choose Believe it.

"Then if I tell you that Voldemort is worth the price we pay, are you willing to believe it?"

"A fool with only strength and no brains. He was able to create the kind of chaos ten years ago. I only discovered one thing, that is, the Ministry of Magic is hopeless. This so-called government is in charge of the wizarding world in England. Otherwise, it is already terminally ill."

"If it were you, what would you have done ten years ago? What would you have done?"

After hearing Dumbledore's question, Rollo sneered and spoke without hesitation.

"Any wizarding family that joins Voldemort will have their property inventoried, confiscated and exterminated, and cut off any pure-blooded wizards who dare to support him from the source. The largest proportion of wizards in the wizarding world are half-blood and Muggle-born wizards. If those guys don't want to live, just die. Well, by the way, we can win over another group of allies, share the wealth of those guys, and consolidate the rule of the Ministry of Magic."

"Regarding dark creatures, such as werewolves, giant dementors, etc., they need to be treated differently. If werewolves are willing to submit, then they should be given an identity recognized by the Ministry of Magic that can walk openly, and they should be compensated and resettled. Wolfsbane potions should be distributed monthly, etc. Wait, they are actually wizards, and becoming werewolves is not voluntary.

Giants are easier to deal with. If you warn them, if they don't listen, they will stir up conflicts among the giant tribes. If they don't listen, they will be too busy to take care of it. If they insist on killing them, they will kill them. If they issue a hunter reward, bounty hunters from all over the world will flock to them. Dementors are more powerful than giants. Simple, don’t they want to suck out the happiness?Muggle prisons for felons are open for them to smoke, and they dare to cause trouble when they are full. If they want to die, just tell them. "

"Without financial support and followers, if the isolated Voldemort can't be suppressed and hundreds of Aurors can't deal with it, then let's put a reward on his head. How much money can be spent to confiscate the house? Is 500 million Galleons enough? ? Even if the goblins see this number, they will hold the ancestral sword and want to test whether Voldemort's Avada Kedavra is ruthless enough."

"When everyone who meets him is excited about the huge bounty, does Voldemort, who has become a street rat, still have room to jump? If the screening and siege continues, he will be caught even if he hides in the ends of the earth. come out."

"I can't understand at all how an orthodox regime in the wizarding world can do nothing to deal with a Voldemort? Apart from the corruption of the internal organization and the ignorance of the decision-makers, I have no idea what should be used to explain their incompetence."

"The pure-blood theory is bullshit. Half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards can spit to death the group of pure-blood wizards who claim to be superior. In the whole of England, pure-blood wizards can't even collect five or six hundred, what? Toy."

"I don't even know who made this statement first, but that person deserves to die! He broke his own spine. How stupid would he be to do that?"

"Do these people really not know what shame is? Or do they think that by elevating their enemies they can hide their own incompetence? It's ridiculous!"

"I made up the method casually, just for your enjoyment, but it's better than that bunch of useless idiots ten years ago who just cowered and let the situation get worse, don't you think?"

Dumbledore twitched the corner of his mouth. Although Rollo's method was indeed very simple and crude, it was still feasible to a certain extent. The core implementation was the redistribution of interests, sacrificing the interests of others to gain his own supporters. , and thereby cut off the wings of Voldemort's power.

To put it bluntly, Voldemort's gang is a lunatic who used his pure-blood theory to confuse a group of mentally ill pure-blood families who dream of restoring their past glory but have been in decline, and use the so-called "freedom", "massacre" and "pleasure" to obtain help from those cruel forces.

It's just a bunch of ragtag people. To be honest, there's nothing that they can't deal with. If they were united, they wouldn't be scattered as soon as Voldemort fell.

"Well, maybe you are right. Voldemort may not be worth having a child sacrifice his life for him."

There was some compromise in Dumbledore's words.

"But what I need to tell you is that Voldemort may not be a good leader, but his personal strength is indeed very powerful. Ten years ago, his power would not have lost to me much. Those dark knowledge are very powerful. Dangerous, but also very powerful.”

"It's not an easy thing to kill him."

"Maybe I'll tell you a secret, I think..."

Dumbledore looked at Rollo deeply.

"If I treat you as an 11-year-old child again, it will be one of the biggest mistakes I have made in my life."

Dumbledore waved his wand, blocking out the sounds around him.

"Do you know about Horcruxes?"

Rollo shook his head.

"That is a way to achieve deformed immortality by splitting one's soul. Voldemort succeeded, so we have to kill him more than once."

"As for why I want to train Harry..."

Dumbledore hesitated.

"I'll tell you the answer after the semester is over. I still need to consider, or verify, one thing."

"Next week?" Rollo raised his eyebrows.

"Next week, after the exam is over, I will tell you everything."

"If you want to hear it then."

Dumbledore nodded to Rollo, "It's very late today. Go to bed early, Rollo."
