99. City of Literature

The auditorium of Hogwarts was as lively as ever on Tuesday. When Severus sat down at the long Slytherin table, he noticed that the eyes of the little snakes seemed even more strange. Kilted out of their home, but long since abandoned by their family, they have acted with extreme caution since Christmas, and nothing else.

Soon, the owls swooped down towards the long tables in the auditorium, and various letters and newspapers fell down one after another.Severus opened the Daily Prophet casually, and immediately looked at the professor's chair with a hint of surprise in his deep and quiet black eyes. All the small animals also moved in the same way, and even the long table of Gryffindor frequently uttered The sound of "bang bang" falling from the chair.

The headline on the front page of the Daily Prophet was a letter of apology from Albus Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard of the twentieth century.

In the letter, he denied his theory that Muggles are weak and need protection, and explained the results of his own investigation since Christmas, and what he saw and heard in the Muggle world over the weekend.Different from the previous focus on the development of Muggle technology, Albus turned his attention to the weapons of Muggles, from the guns and ammunition that can be manipulated by individuals, to the artillery of large and small military groups, biological and chemical weapons, and the most terrifying nuclear weapons owned by countries.

Albus pointed out in the letter that Muggles are indeed weak, but they use their wisdom to create weapons with terrible lethality.Therefore, those wizards who really need to be protected are wizards with abilities beyond ordinary people.All this is his fault, he did not conduct a serious investigation, and came to arbitrarily concluded, if not for Voldemort? .

At the end of the letter, he thanked the Duke of Darkness for showing the real Muggle world to wizards, guiding the transformation of the magic world, and guiding wizards to slowly accept everything about Muggles.At the same time, I warn all wizards that they should treat the threat of the Muggle world rationally, after all, the saints and Death Eaters have already started active and effective measures to protect the wizarding world.Don't easily expose yourself in front of Muggles. This may expose the magic barrier that has been hidden for thousands of years, and even cause the tragedy of the Middle Ages again.Not to mention being strong, because when he was investigating the supernatural research institute in the Muggle world, even the invisibility spell was seen through and he was almost reduced to an experimental subject.

The auditorium soon became like boiling water. Most of the little Slytherin snakes knew about ** through their families, but the other three colleges were completely dumbfounded. Soon they also remembered that wizards who were born in the Muggle world As we mentioned, Muggles fear and greed for wizards.The pure-blooded them never thought that one day, their proud wizard status might bring them a catastrophe.

"Merlin, it turns out that Muggles are so terrifying. The Killing Curse is far inferior." A young wizard looked at the back of the Daily Prophet, where there was a section about nuclear weapons. of.

"Yeah, look at that biological warfare agent, it's even more terrifying than the poisonous potion owned by the Potion Master."

"Rivers, what exactly is the Ability Research Institute mentioned by Principal Dumbledore?"

"That's what I said, the kind of place where a classmate who exposed his abilities was taken there. They want to study how to have abilities?"

"very scary!"

"Hey, the magic barrier has not been discovered for so many years. If we don't abuse magic in the Muggle world, it should be fine?"

"But the Muggle technology in the past was not so powerful. You can see that they can even see through the invisibility spell of Principal Dumbledore. Now think about it, that committee for the protection of Muggles is simply used to protect wizards?"

"That's right, but we don't have to worry too much. Didn't Principal Dumbledore say that? Professor Voldemort and the others have already discovered it and are actively preparing for it."

"Yes, you see those little snakes are still calm, they are not worried, they must have known about it a long time ago."

"Fortunately, we also knew how powerful the Muggle world is before, otherwise we really couldn't believe it."

"Yes."

There was a lot of discussion at the long tables. When Voldemort saw the Daily Prophet, he also turned to Dumbledore in surprise. Although the prestige of the White Wizard in the magic world has dropped a lot because of the werewolf and the giant spider last time, but He never expected that Dumbledore would be willing to abandon his reputation, put down face, and take the initiative to announce to the public after discovering the truth.This might even be used by them to pull him down from the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts, an aboveboard reason.

Moreover, he never knew how to bring up the issue of Muggle threats. Now Dumbledore raised it, which can be said to have solved his biggest trouble, so that the magic world will not cause too much fluctuation. After all, most of the extreme wizards are Gryffindors. Do and Slytherin are mostly, especially those lions who are too heroic in Gryffindor, but with this letter of apology from Dumbledore, all the original concerns can be put down, and the magic world can also develop smoothly and steadily.

"Voldemort, I'm very sorry. It's true that I'm too prejudiced. I shouldn't impose my will on others without a real investigation, whether it's protecting Muggles or opposing black magic." Albus was old but A sincere voice rang in Voldemort's ear.

Voldemort's wine-red eyes flashed strangely. He never thought that Dumbledore would apologize to him one day. Looking at the haggard old man in front of him, he suddenly didn't know what to say. Anyway, the war in the last life was his He provoked it by himself, but he never admitted it, and always believed that it was just caused by his loss of reason. Voldemort pursed his lips in bewilderment for the first time.

"Albus, you said you were discovered by the Muggle Research Institute, are you okay?"

Madam Pomfrey's words interrupted the seeming rigidity between the two, and Dumbledore turned his head to see the professors looking at him with concern, and winked mischievously at everyone, "It's okay, don't you think I'm Very good." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to eat with a fork, cut a piece of lemon cake and put it in his mouth, causing Professor McGonagall to stare unbearably.

Voldemort snapped back to his senses, embarrassment flashed in his eyes because of his gaffe, and when he saw Albus eating his beloved sweets with a smile on his face, he suddenly raised his eyebrows gracefully; "I know it's okay since I have such a good appetite, but Albus , you'd better pay attention. You're already old anyway," he paused to see the weird eyes of the professors all gathered together and chuckled, "It's really not good to indulge too much!"

"Pfft!" It was Slughorn, drinking the table wine.

"Crack", the tableware of other professors fell on the long table with a crisp sound.

"Cough, cough..." Dumbledore coughed earth-shatteringly as he choked on the sweets in his mouth, his old face turned red.

The professor's seat flustered for a while, and McGonagall quickly handed over a cup of black tea. Poppy pulled out his wand without saying a word, and gave Dumbledore a simple little healing spell.

Seeing that Dumbledore finally regained his composure, Pomfrey gave Voldemort a reproachful look. This junior is really outrageous, how can he say such things casually, let alone during the meal.

"Bobby, I'm not wrong, or our principal Dumbledore is willing to let us know who saved you in time, and the night before Valentine's Day and the morning of Valentine's Day in the auditorium, isn't it all someone Did someone use Polyjuice Potion? The reason is of course what I said." Voldemort said slowly, seeing Dumbledore's rarely seen red face, with an undisguised smile in his eyes, he didn't know what he was just now. Cuo and the depression between Abu and Gellert, who had learned about the affair between Abu and Gellert in the past two days, were finally swept away.

The professors looked at Dumbledore again. The headmaster, who had never changed his face, was obviously told the truth. The blush on his face never faded, and even those blue eyes kept flickering. The professors couldn't help but lose their voice. They really didn't know. What should I say to the respected old man, after all, this is his private matter.

But at the same time, they were also shocked by the facts they learned from Voldemort. They didn't find anything unusual in the past two days. Could it be that the one who knows you best is your enemy, or is it the truth?The ambiguous eyes of the professors kept sizing up the uncomfortable Dumbledore, wondering who his lover was and how did Voldemort know.

Voldemort looked at the embarrassed Dumbledore, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and thought for a while before saying, "Albus, or would you like to tell that Adrian already has a partner who wants to marry, if he really needs an heir?" , and took a fancy to Ms. Sandra Brausch, or you can consider going out in person.

Seeing Dumbledore leave the professor's seat early in the last gaffe, Voldemort raised his eyebrows and glanced at the long Slytherin table, and got up to leave as well.

The movement on the professor's bench had already alarmed the noisy students, who had been staring at the professors, and even the threat of the Muggle world they had just discovered was temporarily forgotten.

After all, the information revealed in Dumbledore's letter and the calm Slytherin snakes all show that adult wizards are already actively guarding against the Muggle government and army. As long as they don't act rashly, the magic barrier is still very safe .

Now that the leaders of the two largest forces, black and white, have left the meeting, the little animals began to whisper again. Of course, they couldn't talk about anything, but on this day, the little animals of Hogwarts walked together in groups. , there is a weird atmosphere everywhere.

Principal's office

"You said it was Voldemort who said that Adrian has someone he likes? Do you want me to reconsider the heir?"

Gellert, who hadn't planned to go back to Germany, narrowed his eyes. He had never considered the issue of an heir before. After all, he and Dumbledore had been separated for so many years, and he didn't plan to have an heir at all.And Adrian, as his personal master, has good ability and bearing, and has been in charge of the saints for decades alone, so he can naturally become the next leader of the saints.

The only regret is that Adrian is still single, conservative by nature and has no heirs, so he chose Sandra Brauchic, who has always admired him, for him. Unknowingly, she has a lover, and doesn't seem to intend to inherit the saint.

It stands to reason that there is no conflict between having a lover and inheriting a saint. Could it be that he is worried that he cannot have an heir or that his lover has a position that needs to be avoided.Grindelwald's face became gloomy. Adrian regarded him as his own son, so how could he be willing to let him have no heirs? Although the Barack family had collateral descendants, he was the only direct descendant.

Of course, Gellert also guessed who Adrian's lover is now. After all, Voldemort knew it before him, which can only show that the other party is a Death Eater. Adrian has been in contact with the most in the past six months, and he will be liked by Adrian at the same time. Yes, I am afraid it is the platinum noble Abraxas Malfoy who is sought after by many wizards and witches in the magic world.

However, although Adrian was absolutely loyal, he was also very rigid and stubborn. Since Voldemort said so, it must be Adrian's own idea.

Watching Dumbledore nodding in acknowledgment, Gellert quickly canceled his original plan and left Hogwarts to find his intended heir, who he said had a lover.
