The Mightiest Wizard of Hogwarts

Chapter 276 Chapter 274

",,, because some changes have achieved good results, while others have arrived at the right time,,,,,"

On the staff table, Umbridge continued to talk about her long-winded speech, and Finny had to try to find a topic with Astoria once, so as to relax his brain,
Fortunately, Umbridge's speech ended soon after,

"Let us move ever closer to a new age of enlightenment, efficiency, and reason, resolutely keeping what should be kept, perfecting what needs to be perfected, and abolishing what we should ban,"

She sat down, and Dumbledore applauded first. After a while, the little wizards below also noticed that her speech was over, and burst into warm applause. Many little wizards burst into tears. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not Wu Mlitch's speech was so good and touching, but because she finally finished speaking, she wept with joy.

"Thank you very much, Ms Umbridge, your speech was very enlightening,"

Dumbledore stood up and bowed to Umbridge, and said,
"Okay, as I said just now, the selection of the Quidditch team will be..."

Finney was not the only one who recognized the meaning of Umbridge's words. Except for little wizards like Slytherin who received relevant education since childhood, there was another person who recognized the problem in her words.
"Let me tell you what it means."

Hermione, who was sitting on the long Ravenclaw table, explained to Harry, Ron, and Neville, who were sitting in the Gryffindor seats behind them,
"This means that the Ministry of Magic has begun to interfere with Hogwarts,"

While Hermione and Harry were explaining the meaning of Umbridge's speech, Dumbledore had finished speaking, and there was a sound of clashing tables, chairs and benches in the auditorium, and all the little wizards stood up and prepared to leave the auditorium.
"First graders, this way!"

The prefects of each house greeted the Hogwarts freshmen to follow them back to the common room of their respective houses.

The little wizards walked shyly through the aisles beside the long tables of their respective colleges, each and every one of them shrunk their heads, hiding behind and not daring to show their heads.

Finny frowned and said to Astoria,
"You go back to the common room with them first, I still have some things to do."

Astoria nodded, stood up and followed the Slytherin prefect out of the auditorium,

And Finny stayed alone in the auditorium, frowning as he watched the little wizards gradually leave, and watched the professors leave one after another,

He was wondering, wondering why Dumbledore didn't announce the mystery man's affairs according to the situation they had customized before,

Feeney doesn't think he will choose to give up because of the pressure from the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore has never been a person who values ​​the Ministry of Magic.

So what is Dumbledore's reason for not publishing this matter?

Feeney was very confused, so he didn't leave the auditorium like the other little wizards, but chose to wait here. He believed that if there were any accidents, Dumbledore would definitely find him later.
As the heir of the Black family, his own strength has also reached the level of participation in this life-and-death battle. Feeney is absolutely qualified to discuss these matters with Dumbledore. They did do this before.

Feeney is more likely to cooperate with Dumbledore with the influence of the Black family, and he is regarded as a partner rather than a subordinate of Dumbledore. Therefore, now that Dumbledore changes his plan, he must notify his partner.

Sure enough, Fox appeared next to him not long after,
Knowing that Dumbledore was inviting him, Finny stretched out his hand and grabbed Fox's paw. In a cloud of flames, Finny came to Dumbledore's office.

"Did something happen to the professor? Didn't we agree to announce that?"

The first time Feeney came to the office, he asked,
He was really puzzled at this moment why this happened,

Dumbledore sighed and said,

"A few surprises did occur,"

He turned and picked up a stack of letters from his desk and handed it to Finny,

"Look at it."

"what is this?"

Feeney was very puzzled by the resulting letters, and opened one of them to read,
Dumbledore explained at the same time,

"Before the start of school, I deliberately released the news of this matter, hoping to make some people vigilant in advance. As a result, this is the letter I received after that."

Feeney glanced through the letter roughly, and said in shock,
"Are they,,,, are they stupid? Or do they think it's really useful to deceive one's ears like this?"

It turned out that most of the contents of those letters were asking whether they could ask for leave for their children, and one of the letters clearly stated the reasons why these parents would do so.

The parent expressed concern and inquiries to Dumbledore in the letter, asking how Dumbledore's health was, and expressing that he was a little worried about whether Dumbledore would become old and confused. ,

That's why Feeney said that they were deceiving, because the mysterious man returned to this matter, and now the situation in the magic world can be judged only by careful attention and careful analysis, but now Dumbledore is considered foolish when he tries to announce this matter Now, naively wishing that this matter was nothing more than the silly words of an old foolish wizard.

Of course, not all of these letters questioned Dumbledore, and some of them expressed their trust in Dumbledore and asked if they could provide some help.
The most obvious example is Neville's grandma, the old lady whose son and daughter-in-law became lunatics because of the mysterious person and could only live in St. Mungo's Hospital for recuperation, bluntly told Dumbledore that if necessary, Her grandson, Neville Baronton, can also actively fight against the mysterious man like his parents, even if he sacrifices himself for this time, it doesn't matter, because she knows very well that they are all heroes, even if the price of becoming a hero is very high , the old lady did not hesitate, she said that the matter of the mysterious man is the matter of the entire magic world. As long as the Dark Lord exists, countless families will be torn apart because of him at any time, and many children will be lost at any time. My own family, elders, if the sacrifice of the Baronton family is beneficial to the entire magic world and plays an effective role in the cause of fighting against the mysterious man, then everything is worth it.

After reading the letters, Finny sighed.Handed the letter back to Dumbledore, and said in a low tone,

"It seems that the reality is much worse than I imagined."

Dumbledore nodded in agreement and said,
"Yeah, the reason why we tried not to choose this matter at the beginning was to hope that everyone would be prepared and not be caught off guard. As a result, no one wants to believe it now,,,,"

There was some self-deprecating surprise in Dumbledore's tone, it sounded like the greatest white wizard had chosen to give up,
However, Feeney knew very well that Dumbledore would not give up, just as the entire magic world, including the Ministry of Magic, chose to give up more than ten years ago, he still chose to resist, formed the Order of the Phoenix, and actually devoted himself to fighting against the mysterious In the power of man, the ultimate victory was finally achieved.

This time, even if the entire magic world chooses to turn against him, he will definitely choose to continue instead of giving up, otherwise he will not be the Dumbledore who can choose to put his favorite person in prison for the rest of his life for the sake of peace ,

At the same time, Feeney also understood Dumbledore a little bit. Perhaps when he didn't know it, this old man who was over a hundred years old was enduring disapproval, even slander, hostility, and targeting from these people.

In the face of crisis, a strong person will be regarded as a savior, and will be prayed by people to bring peace and a future,

But when the danger is over, the powerful face the guard and hostility of the people.

The reason why the dragon slayer becomes a dragon in the end is because the dragon has been the savior who saved the world from the very beginning.

There are such things as killing donkeys at any time and regardless of species.

It is very likely that Dumbledore has been facing such a situation for so many years,
"It seems that this matter cannot be announced as originally planned. If these people hadn't happened to them, they would not believe it. They would only believe what happened according to their last words. Even, If this is forced to be announced, something more difficult to control will happen,"

Feeney suddenly believed that in the original book, when Harry was in the fourth grade, the mysterious man returned in the Goblet of Fire finals. Dumbledore publicized this incident thoroughly during the holidays. He hoped that wizards in the magical world could be more vigilant. It is indeed the disbelief, slander, and hostility of people in the entire magic world,

Even the Wizengamot Council, which once relied on Dumbledore's power and status, was expelled, and the International Federation of Wizards was swept away, and the reason for such a thing to happen was because he told them the truth that the wizards didn't want to believe, and crushed them That fragile woven reality.

Therefore, after realizing that their reactions are still the same as those in the original book, Feeney thinks that there is no need to announce this matter again.

"We just need to let those who believe in us know about it, and be prepared for the final battle, and then we will face an extremely difficult battle, professor, we need to be prepared for everyone to die. "

Finny said in a low voice,

Dumbledore agreed with this. He originally had this attitude in the matter of fighting against the mysterious man. Everyone can sacrifice, as long as they can get a better future.

"Okay, Finny, I think you understand my concerns now. Tonight is not a good time to announce this, but I will still announce it,"

Finny frowned.
"Professor, since you also know that it doesn't matter whether you announce this matter or not now, why are you taking the risk of making this matter a reality? As long as you don't say the news yourself in front of everyone, the Ministry of Magic will There is no reason to attack you, and other wizards have no reason to attack you."

"Professor, you are too powerful, and you are not yet a member of the elders. The elders will be happy for you to suffer setbacks or even die, and other wizards will not like to think that free legendary wizards stand on top of them, so, Once you do announce it, they will definitely attack you,"

Having said that, Feeney also had to sigh,

"Before, I and you also thought that the premise of announcing this matter is that everyone believes in it, if not all, at least half of the cases, so that announcing this matter can bring us enough strength, Powerful enough to fight him."

Dumbledore shook his head and said,
"I won't stop talking about it because they don't want to know or don't want to know. If it's really because other people don't want to or don't like it, then who can do it?"

Feeney heard the words, sighed, and stopped talking,

Dumbledore's attitude at this time is very firm. Thinking about it, he has already planned it.
"So. Professor, when do you plan to announce this?"

Dumbledore looked at the scenery outside the window with deep eyes, and said lightly,
"After I communicated with Fudge, I think he might be willing to believe in this matter, and he can prepare for the next war,,,"

Feeney took a serious look at Dumbledore. He is indeed the greatest white wizard. Even if he knows the result, he still has good intentions and is willing to believe that other people are equally kind.
After knowing that he could not change Dumbledore's attitude, Feeney stood up and said goodbye to him, and left the principal's office.

When Finney returned to the Slytherin common room, the shadow prefect of the new year had been chosen, not Astoria, but Harper Avery from the Avery family,
Although Astoria defeated some of the little wizards, after all, she was deeply affected by the blood curse for the past 11 years, and she was unable to fully exert her magical talent and practice magic. Harper was still narrowly defeated,
Looking at the little girl who was a little disappointed, Feeney smiled and walked to her side,

"You can live in my bedroom,"

Finny's voice was very soft, and it sounded gentle to Astoria,

The little girl raised her head and glanced at Feeney, then shook her head firmly,
"No, if I want to live in a single dormitory, I will rely on my own efforts!"

Finny nodded with a smile, and came to the middle of the common room, ready to start their year's shadow prefect business.

Shadow prefect is a good position, and it is also a position that all young Slytherin wizards want to be. Although Finny has not done the corresponding affairs, this position still belongs to him.Therefore, he still needs to prepare for the selection of the shadow prefect every year at the beginning of school, just like other ages. In fact, it is to let other people in the same grade try to challenge him to get this position.

It's just that, for Feeney's grade, the results are the same, so no one will challenge it, and it's still the same this year.
