Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

Lin Ning wanted to know why Quirrell was still wearing the purple turban, so she started to check.

As a result, Quirrell met a vampire in the Albanian forest and was targeted by a vampire.

Lin Ning: "..."

what is this?Has the world line ended?

In the original book, after Quirrell was bewitched by Voldemort in the Albanian forest, in order to cover up Voldemort on the back of his head, Quirrell put on a purple turban and smelled of garlic, which was thought by others that he met during his travels. vampire.However, the problem now is that Voldemort is not attached to him, he still put on the purple hood, and met the vampire in real terms-how can this be Quirrell is destined to have such a catastrophe?

But destiny is destiny, and Quirrell can still go to Hogwarts to teach like this.Hogwarts is an inclusive school, and the selected professors do not need to have teacher qualification certificates.

Ugh.

Lin Ning wanted that in the original book, Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort. Voldemort encountered Harry Potter head-on and had to escape from Quirrell. As the host, Quirrell died because of his vitality being absorbed, which once again verified Voldemort. The curse imposed on the position of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, now that Voldemort has become one-third of the Rune snake, it is impossible for Quirrell to suffer any more danger, so how will this curse be fulfilled?

For a moment, Lin Ning had the idea that maybe she could go to Hogwarts to teach next year as in the original book, just to see what the curse was like.

Later, Lin Ning still put aside the idea of ​​"going up when there are difficulties, and going up when there are no difficulties". Now that she is extremely busy, she also feels that she should not deceive her children.After thinking this way, Lin Ning put aside the matter of Quirrell, and first made an outline of the novel she was going to write next. She still hadn't forgotten to think about the theme of the next book "The Adventures of Greenwood". Her editor, Barry Macmillan, still has a bit of a conscience.

And the Ministry was still busy.

Lin Ning went on to try the former Death Eaters. By this time, it mainly involved the giants and goblins who had defected to Voldemort and other non-human races that had been in constant friction with wizards for thousands of years.

Among them, the giants are about six meters tall, and the height can reach seven to eight meters. They are fierce and brutal. In the nineteenth century, there was a civil war among the giants. When he was the most powerful, he joined the ranks of Death Eaters and participated in the killing of Muggles.

Later, after Voldemort was defeated, most of the giants were hunted down by Aurors, and the rest, including Hagrid's mother, fled to the northern mountain area.Hundreds of different races gathered in that giant's village for a while, and in this mixed situation of mermaids, they started killing each other again, so that there are only [-] giants left.

As far as the Ministry of Magic is concerned, they don’t know where the tribe is, but the original book says that Dumbledore knew that he sent Hagrid to lend a helping hand to the giant tribe to jointly resist Voldemort’s comeback. It took a month to find the tribe.In this way, the tribe is very hidden, and there is no news about the giants coming out to make trouble again. In this way, it is not so simple to pursue the giants who became Voldemort's supporters to the end.

Besides, giants are ferocious by nature and kill each other every once in a while. It can be said that they are still on the verge of extinction. Therefore, for the sake of diversity in the magic world, the magic world may have to set up laws to protect them. The continuation of the giant.

Lin Ning: "No."

She had to think about it, but the next moment there was a knock on her office door.

"Please come in."

It was a member of the Criminal Investigation Section who came, and he said in a slightly subtle tone: "Director, Violet Diliman, who was reported to disappear out of thin air 20 years ago, has appeared!"

Lin Ning: "?"

Lin Ning knew this name. There was such a disappearance case in the case file of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.It was an old case that happened 20 years ago. It was said that after a quarrel with her husband Albert Diliman, the witch Violet Diliman jumped into the fireplace in the living room and used the Floo network to retrieve her natal family.

As a result, a few weeks later, Albert Diliman realized that it was time to let his wife go home because he could no longer find a clean pan and clean socks. However, when he used the Floo network to come to his wife's natal home , his mother-in-law said his wife never came back.Albert Diliman searched the house, but couldn't find any trace of his wife, and realized that his mother-in-law probably wasn't lying to him.

After Albert Diliman posted a large number of missing person notices and published an article in the "Daily Prophet", his wife Violet Diliman still has not been found, and no one seems to know that she is in Nowhere, no one saw her coming out of any fireplace.

At the time, it was widely believed that Violet Diliman mispronounced letters or words while using the Floo, but she failed to reach her natal fireplace, which led to fears of the Floo. Because of the safety of the Floo Network, they were worried that they would disappear out of thin air, so they were afraid of using the Floo Network. However, as time went by, the wizards realized the necessity of the Floo Network, and gradually took Violet Diliman's deeds into account. forgotten.

Anyway, Violet Diliman has disappeared since then, and has not shown her face in front of people for the next 20 years, which can be regarded as death by default.

After Lin Ning read the case file, he started to investigate and found that there was nothing tricky in this case. Violet Diliman had indeed disappeared because he did not correctly state his destination.However, Lin Ning tends to think that Violet Diliman is still alive. After all, the Floo Network does not have the function of "swallowing" the user because the user did not say the destination correctly. It will only let the user Teleports to the fireplace closest to the user's stated destination.

Lin Ning still intends to use this case to regulate the use of the Floo Network, so he marked it and plans to re-examine it after the case at hand is resolved. At least a result must be given, which can To close this case, I didn't expect that now Violet Diliman appeared by herself.

"Bring people here."

"Yes."

Violet Diliman soon arrived at the Ministry, accompanied by her current husband, Myron Ozerhouse.

It turns out that Violet Diliman was teleported to the fireplace of the home of Myron Ozerhouse, a handsome wizard living in Bury St Edmunds, who appeared with the It was love at first sight for Violet in the fireplace, even though Violet's face was stained with tears and ashes were still stained on her face.

The two then married, lived happily together, and had seven children together.

It is worth mentioning that Violet Diliman, no, Violet Ozerhouse's ex-husband Albert Diliman passed away half a year ago.

This is probably the main reason why Violet reappeared.

Lin Ning: "..."

What can Lin Ning say? Can she say that if Albert Diliman with the green grassland on his head knew it, he would probably be so angry that he would spit out a mouthful of green blood?She also could not point out in words that Violet had committed bigamy. The rules and regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Magic included marriage laws, but they did not list in detail what would happen if wizards got bigamy.

Lin Ning felt a bit stuck in his throat.

Soon she stretched her brows, and said to the loving Ozerhaus couple: "The appearance of your couple is of great significance not only to me, but also to the entire British magic community."

Since there are no corresponding laws and regulations, the corresponding laws and regulations should be supplemented. Anyway, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement already has the power and responsibility to make legislation.

Ozerhaus couple: "???"

"No, I'm afraid I can't call you the Ozerhaus couple, your marriage is invalid." Lin Ning said and looked at Violet, "In the legal sense, ma'am, you are still Violet Dee Riemann, wife of Albert Dilimann."

"Yes, even though he died half a year ago."

"So I'm afraid you two will have to stay longer at the Ministry of Magic."

The Ozerhaus couple: "!!"

Is this different from what we said?

Lin Ning turned around and drafted the "Marriage Law" based on the current situation of the British wizarding community.Considering that the Wizengamot has been suspended, her immediate boss, Minister Millicent Barnold, is waiting to "resign", and Lin Ning's prestige and popularity in the Ministry of Magic and the magic world, the "Marriage Act" quickly With incredible speed it was passed and the main content was published in the Daily Prophet.

The "Marriage Law" is relatively neat, and it can't be seen at all. It was just drafted by Lin Ning on a whim.

As far as the people are concerned, there is no conflict between the "Marriage Law" and their basic interests. Moreover, for most people, they maintain considerable respect for marriage, and do not look down on elopement, bigamy, etc. the behavior of.

Then accept it and accept it.

It can be said that Violet Diliman, who reappeared after 20 years, became the first person to eat crab, even though it was not a delicious crab.

As far as Lin Ning is concerned, she has always wanted to innovate, but she did not expect that the opportunity for her to attack the law was the marriage law.But since he has already opened his mouth, it doesn't matter where he got it from, and Lin Ning also let the Floo Network affiliated to the Department of Magical Transportation use the fact that Violet Diliman mispronounced the name of Floo Network and went to an unknown place. The Road Network Administration has overhauled nearly a thousand fireplaces connected to the Floo network across the UK. At the same time, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, during the inspection process, the Floo Network Administration followed Lin Ning's instructions. , add a small tool to the Floo network connection point, this small tool will record the traces of the user using the Floo network, so that if anyone misses the destination and is sent by mistake, the Ministry of Magic can pass Check the history to find the missing user.

Does this sound a bit grandiose?

So this additional function is kept confidential.

Of course, not everyone has the right to view historical records, at least in the Ministry of Magic, only the Minister, the Senior Deputy Minister and Lin Ning, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, have this authority.At other times, if you want to check it, you have to get the consent of at least two or more people.

However, with the monitoring of the Floo Network, it is not possible to cover everything.

Hogwarts fireplaces are usually not connected to the Floo network, and Hogwarts has its own set of external and internal protection mechanisms, otherwise it would not be considered the safest place in the wizarding world.

Speaking of this, Lin Ning thought of Gringotts, which was also considered a safe place, and then thought of the Hufflepuff gold cup stored in Gringotts.

For this reason, Lin Ning focused most of his attention on the goblins who had surrendered to Voldemort. Goblins are a relatively cunning race, and they are also very capable. They make exquisite armor and weapons, as well as various gold and silver products.

As mentioned earlier, Lin Ning believes that the bank should be in the hands of the government, not run by goblins. He also complained that the logic of wizards is confusing in many places, but wizards do not completely trust goblins.For centuries, wizards have not given goblins their freedom, forbidden them to use wands, and were not allowed to attend the first wizarding union.

In order to resist this kind of differential treatment, there have been two goblin rebellions in history.

This is not difficult to understand, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

But after two rebellions, isn't it a little bit wrong that Gringotts is still standing?

Now that Lin Ning is free, he starts with the old things.

What she has done recently can be seen by those with a heart, and people with a heart have different interpretations of this. Some think that what she did is to maintain the stability of the magic world and effectively dispel the "shadow" that hangs over the magic world; She thinks that her purpose is not only to get rid of black wizards, but also to further get rid of werewolves, giants, goblins and other magical races that are not against wizards, so that wizards are supreme in the wizarding world; The means, step by step to rule the entire magic world.

Let’s not talk about whether there is any truth in this, but I just feel disgusted with wizards. On the issue of ownership of property rights, fairies have completely different ideas from wizards (the fairies believe that the ownership of objects belongs to their manufacture. In their eyes, the things they make are their own. Even if the things are bought, they only think that they are rented out for money, and wizards use the things they make without using them. continue to pay and pass it down from generation to generation, like thieves), they tend to think that the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is xenophobic and wants to use old things to further squeeze them.

evidence?

The evidence is that after the leader of the werewolves, Fenrir Clayback, was killed by "him" Avada, the remaining werewolves no longer appeared in the magic world. Apart from their being brutally killed, what else could be the reason?

And look at the book "Vampires and Werewolves" written by 'him', is that glorifying vampires and werewolves?Not at all!On the contrary, in the eyes of the goblins, it was an insult to them.

Oh, and Dementors.

Where are the dementors guarding Azkaban?

Isn't it just that they were all wiped out by the magic world in secret!

Isn't the true purpose of 'Gideroy Lockhart' already obvious enough?

Lin Ning: "..."

Lin Ning has an eyeliner in Gringotts, and she still knows a little bit about the movements of goblins. After knowing that goblins think so much about her, Lin Ning couldn't help but reflect for a few seconds. 'The devil without blinking?

It's true that the Dementors were banned from Azkaban, but they still work at the Ministry of Magic;

werewolf?It's good that werewolves are no longer in their original tribe, but they're still alive and well, okay?At the beginning, Lin Ning only punished the poorest and most vicious werewolves headed by Fenrir Greyback, and she didn't do much to the rest of the werewolves. After all, not all werewolves have done bad things. A considerable number of werewolves were originally good. , but was intentionally bitten by Fenrir Klayback, who took revenge on the society, and infected them into werewolves. That's not something they can choose, is it?

Therefore, Lin Ning promised to provide them with wolfbane potion, which would allow them to maintain their sanity when they transformed on the night of the full moon, and she also provided them with a shelter.For example, she sent them to study and provided them with jobs. Even in the magic world, besides the Little Red Book Publishing House, she opened the agi&dragns store, which required a lot of manpower.Of course, she still has other conditions. The most basic one is that they can no longer do harmful things. This not only requires Lin Ning to monitor, but also requires their own hearts.

This is not a simple project. Lin Ning has invested a lot in doing it from the beginning, and there are still many difficulties in it. It is not that he has not thought about the signs of some werewolves getting out of control. Fortunately, after such a long time The running-in has been on the right track so far.

Anyway, Lin Ning is not as hideous as the goblins think.

Lin Ning propped his cheeks, "They all miss me so much, if I don't scare them, I'm really sorry for their unrestrained imagination."

Turning around she gave her hint of eyeliner at Gringotts.

In less than half a month, the goblins decided to launch a rebellion and take the lead.

The Ministry of Magic arrived in time and suppressed the rebellion with lightning speed.

Fairies: "!!"

Wait, they think they can hang on a little longer.

Lin Ning smiled at them.

The goblins didn't know what they thought of, and they shivered in groups.

Lin Ning waved his hand: "Put them in the dungeon first."

The Ministry of Magic originally had ten floors, and the tenth floor was originally courtrooms, many of which were used by the Wizengamot, where the Supreme Wizarding Court and the Magical Law Council conduct full-scale criminal trials of wizards and witches.Now the Wizengamot is nothing but an empty shelf, and some rooms on the tenth floor have been converted into prisons. Some prisoners will serve in it, and everyone calls it a dungeon.

The goblins were brought into the dungeon in this way. They were terrified, but they also thought that they would not end up like werewolves and dementors. After all, they were in charge of Gringotts.Without them, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to open those vaults in Gringotts, and they will not need to do anything at that time. The wizards who put their own Galleons and treasures in Gringotts will do so for their property. jumped out.

Also, they still have the technology to make Gallon. The Ministry of Magic will choose to compromise in the end.

this?

The "Daily Prophet" rushed to report the goblin rebellion.

Sure enough, as the goblins thought, the wizards were in a panic, for fear that their property would be in vain.For a while, all the wizards who opened accounts in Gringotts crowded to the gate of Gringotts, demanding an explanation from the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic took its time.

They first asked the wizards to show their proof of opening an account in Gringotts, and then they would lead them to the corresponding vault to check the property they put in the vault; after the check was correct, the staff of the Ministry of Magic would explain that because of the goblin rebellion, Gringotts will be managed by the Ministry of Magic. Takeover, if the account opening wizards are at ease, they can continue to keep the property in Gringotts, otherwise they can take the property back in full and keep it by themselves.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic stated that they used internal means to open the vault, and did not know how to open it from the goblins.This is easy to prove, because most of the time when the vault is opened, goblins need to use their own fingers to unlock the vault. Obviously, the staff of the Ministry of Magic did not do that, but since they opened the vault, it shows that The absolute security measures claimed by the goblins seemed a bit exaggerated.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic also claimed that they will redeploy the security system, and at the same time reach a consensus with the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary, and introduce fire dragons from them that are more deterrent and better able to protect Gringotts' property.

There is also a staff member of the Ministry of Magic who quietly revealed a bit of insider information, that is, if wizards store their golden Galleons in Gringotts under the control of the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic will pay the corresponding interest.

That's right, it's Gringotts that pays the account holder extra interest.

It is said that Muggle banks do this to encourage people to deposit more money in the bank.

It can be said that this inside information is very exciting, but the Ministry of Magic has not yet made specific arrangements, and it is certain that the possibility of doing so in the end is very high.

All these things made the wizards feel less worried. On the contrary, quite a few chose to wait and see, and some, out of blind trust in the Ministry of Magic, agreed to support on the spot after thinking about it. Some of the property was taken away on the spot, and the Ministry of Magic did not stop it.

The "Daily Prophet" immediately reported related matters, and also claimed that Gringotts would reopen in half a month. By then, wizards could make a decision after verifying the security system of the new Gringotts.

It is worth mentioning that the security system redeployed by Gringotts was designed by Lin Ning, and its quality is guaranteed.In addition, the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary also sent the dragon, which is a Hungarian Horntail.

It was the Hungarian Horntail that was swallowed by a pitcher plant and spit out again.

It doesn't seem to have left any psychological shadow, and it's still so vicious.

Lin Ning didn't move his eyebrows.

Speaking of which, she had used her Animagus transformation once, and since then she has not been able to find a suitable opportunity to use it again, and now she has no plans to transform once to give the Hungarian Horntail a blow.It's just that she didn't bring the pitcher plant, she still needs this Hungarian Horntail for Gringotts, it's not pretty when it's scared, isn't it?

In this world, wizards are still very happy to see fire dragons to protect their property from infringement.In addition to dragons being favored, there are also griffins and sphinxes.The classification level of the Ministry of Magic of these two magical animals is xxxx. The former looks like the name suggests, with the front legs and head of a giant eagle, the torso and hind legs of a lion, and is native to Greece; the latter is a kind of human-headed sphinx Animal, native to Egypt.In addition, there is a magical animal with a classification level of xxxxx of the Ministry of Magic, the manticore, which is also produced in Greece, very rare and very dangerous, and is famous for its soft humming when it devours its prey.

The manticore's hide repels almost all known spells, and anyone stung by it is instantly killed.But so far no wizard has been able to tame it, making it impossible to be hired to protect property.

In short, for Lin Ning, she hired this fire dragon more because she wanted wizards to see that Gringotts, which is under the control of the Ministry of Magic, had enough scenes.As she expected, the wizards who came to visit were very satisfied with this. After reading the Gringotts manual sent by the magic department later, they all expressed their willingness to continue to store the Galleon in Gringotts.

It can be said that this power transfer was very smooth and fast, and the goblins haven't fully reacted yet.

It's just that Lin Ning didn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being. This time, Gringotts moved power, but cleared out a batch of unclaimed treasury.The owner of the treasury died early but had no heirs; there are also wanted persons who cannot meet the Ministry of Magic; there are also those who cannot show up at all, for example, the soul has been split into six, and the demon is now attached to a rune snake of so-and-so.

Well, Lin Ning was talking about Voldemort.

Voldemort has a vault in Gringotts, but Hufflepuff's gold cup is not in this vault, but in the vault of the Lestrange family.Hufflepuff's Cup is Voldemort's fourth Horcrux, created after he graduated from Hogwarts, Linning speculates that he murdered the original owner of the Hufflepuff Cup, Hepzibah Smith , and then produced.Now that there are almost no one left in the Lestrange family, and there is no one to lead their family's treasury, Lin Ning lifted the magic spell attached to the Hufflepuff gold cup and removed it from Gringotts. Take it home.

Voldemort V and Voldemort didn't know that Lin Ning controlled Gringotts. They only knew that Lin Ning was very busy recently, and they didn't expect this to be the consequence of her being so busy.

Voldemort V opened his mouth after a long silence: "I remember that this gold cup was placed in the vault of the Lestrange family in Gringotts. How did you get the key to the vault?" '

Voldemort: '...The most important thing you should ask is how did he know it was my Horcrux! '

Voldemort Five: 'Does Lestrange know? '

Voldemort: '...what's wrong with you?she does not know!I told no one. '

Voldemort Fifth paused and said, "Did I mention Bellatrix Lestrange in particular?" '

Voldemort himself: '...'

Lin Ning looked at Voldemort No. [-] and said, "You are so stubborn. Didn't I also declare that I have nothing to do with you and Bellatrix Lestrange? Why didn't you listen to it?" go in.Are you really old? '

Before Voldemort Five had time to speak, he had been training how to turn a deaf ear to the gossip of other crazy heads. The head of the rune snake, who was deaf to the rumors of other crazy heads, stood up "crazyly", "Merlin, Lockhart, are you crazy too?" !You are sober! '

Lin Ning: '...'

Voldemort Five: '……'

Voldemort himself: '...'

The head of the rune snake continued to neigh: "I've suffered enough, I didn't expect you to be infected with this madness!"What the hell am I doing wrong with me.Ah, I understand, it is Lockhart that you are abnormal, so we hatched by you are abnormal. Fortunately, I insisted on my heart, and the two of them are crazier than the other. '

Lin Ning: '...you are indeed normal. '

The rune snake said in frustration, "but what's the use of this?"Surrounded by a bunch of lunatics, sooner or later I will be driven to death. '

Voldemort Five and Voldemort Ben Mort went to see the Hufflepuff gold cup in Lin Ning's hand. If they didn't understand what 'he' was doing for bringing the gold cup over, they would really have water in their heads.

Lin Ning understood and said: "I originally planned it that way, but now that it is so clear-headed and rational, I don't want to do that. After all, it's good to be able to maintain one-third of its sanity. You can't just be in a daze, right?" '

Voldemort V: '...'

Lord Voldemort: '...'

Not only that, Lin Ning turned his head and said to the head of the rune snake: "After what you said, I feel that I seem to be so dazed. I am sober now, and I will never do it again." Followed the words of the two of them.Again, I think that the two of them may also have some cures, and this may require your encouragement. '

Rune Snake Ben Snake Head: 'You speak lightly. '

Lin Ning said indifferently: "Yeah, come on." '

Rune Snake Ben Snake Head: 'You can really make things difficult for a snake.By the way, you won't forget to feed us on time again, will you?I didn't say anything bad about you, it was the two of them talking about how to kill you. '

Lin Ning sighed: "It's a pity that you both use the same stomach." '

Voldemort Five: '……'

Voldemort himself: '...'

They thought of the time when they were ruled by hunger and thirst, and it was a particularly difficult afternoon.

Lin Ning didn't seem to hold grudges any more, she just took one more look at Voldemort V and Voldemort himself, and left with the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, and then she used Fiendfire to kill the souls in the Hufflepuff Gold Cup. The film was destroyed.

But it is said that there is a connection between the soul pieces, especially between the main soul and the Horcrux.When Lin Ning destroyed the soul piece in the resurrection stone ring earlier, Voldemort himself was still far away in the Albanian Forest, and the mutual induction was extremely weak and could be ignored.It's different now, they are so close, when Lin Ning destroyed the Hufflepuff gold cup with Fiendfire, Voldemort's own demon sensed it clearly, and he felt the same, screaming and rolling on the ground.

Voldemort No. [-] is fine, he has been tossed by Lin Ning, and he has broken away from the original Slytherin pendant. Now more feelings are from the Rune snake itself, but it is undeniable that he still has some feelings.Just to prevent the rune snake head from saying that he was going crazy again, he stood upright in a daze, and just looked sideways at Voldemort, along with the rune snake head.

Voldemort himself: "..."

Voldemort wanted to scold Voldemort Fifth, but he was very hot now, and this inevitably affected the other piece of soul in Harry Potter.Like the last time they were starving, Harry felt hot this time, and more than that, he hissed twice.

Sirius:"???"

Sirius "woofed" twice.

Harry, a little dreamy, forced a smile at Sirius and said he was fine, but this time he still hissed.

Sirius: "Wow!"

Harry finally reacted belatedly, he said it again in English, and the Godfather of Dogs realized something.He stared at Harry for a long while, but when Harry wanted to ask him what was wrong, he turned around and left, and Harry couldn't wait for him to come back for the next half a day.

Harry didn't understand what happened, but Sirius understood that Harry spoke Parseltongue, and vaguely guessed whether Harry's ability to speak Parseltongue had something to do with him defeating Voldemort.Sirius had a rough idea of ​​what happened back then from Dumbledore. He knew that Harry would bounce back Voldemort's Avada Kedavra Curse. It was Lily's own life in exchange for a protective spell, but he couldn't explain why Harry would Speak snake language.

And that lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

Sirius figured he'd have to talk to Dumbledore about it, which he did.Hogwarts does not allow apparition, and Hogwarts also has its own protection mechanism. It is even more difficult for outsiders to enter, but Sirius has a way to get there. He can keep the Animagus. go in.

Sirius just entered Hogwarts in the form of a big black dog.

He dodged the others and headed all the way to the principal's office.

When he reached the floor of the principal's office, he saw a billowing black robe at the first glance.Sirius took a longer look before he recognized that the owner of the billowing black robe was a snot-nosed man, and he couldn't help baring his teeth.

Severus Snape, who was always keen, didn't notice Sirius the dog. Instead, he covered his arms and walked down the corridor with a cold expression.Not long ago, the mark of the Dark Lord on his arm reacted after a lapse of ten years, and what this meant was self-evident.

In the principal's office, Dumbledore, who was sitting behind the desk, lost his usual smile.
