- Chapter 99 Dumbledore’s Letters and Notes
In fact, it wasn’t until Gretel received Dumbledore’s letter that his heart, which seemed to be hanging in mid-air, finally completely settled down.
Before that, he had been worried about one thing.
Will Dumbledore temporarily put aside his dispute with Voldemort and cooperate with him to deal with him, a person who truly intends to subvert the traditions of the wizarding world?
Perhaps to some people, like Cornelius Fudge, the dawn that Gretel built was nothing more than a scabies disease.
His only worry was that Dumbledore would take advantage of Voldemort’s return to take away his position as Minister of Magic.
He’s not really stupid, he’s just blinded by power.
Gretel couldn’t help but shook his head when he received the news from the Ministry of Magic.
Cornelius Fudge just seemed too smart. Apparently so many people saw the live broadcast of Voldemort’s return through Gretel’s projection.
But Cornelius Fudge felt that all this was Voldemort’s conspiracy, and even publicly stated that Voldemort had been eliminated and that it was absolutely impossible to resurrect him.
Gretel knew why he had this attitude.
Because from the very beginning, he was able to take over because of Dumbledore’s concession.
At that time, many people felt that Dumbledore was the most suitable candidate for the British Minister of Magic.
It was because Dumbledore refused to resign that Cornelius Fudge took over.
Even when he came to power, it was only because of Dumbledore’s support that he gained a foothold in the position of Minister of Magic.
So many people say privately that he is Dumbledore’s puppet.
After he gradually settled into his position, and Dumbledore gradually disappeared behind the scenes, truly immersed in teaching at Hogwarts, his heart gradually settled down.
After so many years, he has forgotten Dumbledore’s help. The only thing he remembers is that Dumbledore almost became the Minister of Magic before him.
The older he gets, the more wary he becomes of Dumbledore.
After Gretel left Hogwarts with most of Dawn’s people, Cornelius Fudge mentally figured out the whole thing.
He felt that it was the White Devil Dumbledore who, after so many years of dormancy, was finally unwilling to be an ordinary magic principal.
That’s why I directed and acted in a drama about the Dark Lord’s resurrection.
Gretel, and even Dawn, are all Dumbledore’s creations.
After all, in his opinion, how could any student break with the greatest principal, Dumbledore, who was loved by almost everyone.
Even Voldemort only emerged in the wizarding world many years after graduation.
He didn’t believe that there was a fourth grade student in the world who would do such a big thing that would shake the foundation of the Ministry of Magic.
You know, the students admitted to Hogwarts every year are basically eleven years old. After four years of study, no matter how mature they are, they are only fifteen years old in 1995.
What was he doing at the age of fifteen? He was still worrying about the O.W.Ls exam in fifth grade at school.
But as for Gretel, he hasn’t even passed the ordinary wizard level exam.
If Newt Scamander, who was expelled in fifth grade, was a dropout, Gretel was just like Rubeus Hagrid, an expelled student who had never even taken the ordinary wizard level exam.
I would like to ask, would a student, a student who has not even completed the course, decide to drop out of school on his own?
This is irresponsible for his own life. Cornelius Fudge does not believe that a self-made rising star would make such an irrational decision.
So, all of this, whether it’s Voldemort’s ‘resurrection’ or Gretel dropping out of school with his companions.
In Cornelius Fudge’s mind, everything became Dumbledore’s conspiracy, a conspiracy against him.
He believed that Gretel and so many students were forced to withdraw due to Dumbledore’s power.
But that’s okay, he just took advantage of the situation and instructed Rita Skeeter to discredit Dumbledore.
Anyway, unless he is allowed to witness with his own eyes that Voldemort has been ‘resurrected’ and stood in front of him.
Otherwise, he, the greatest Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, would never stand up for Dumbledore and call on everyone to stand up against Voldemort’s dark rule.
On the contrary, he wanted to tear off Dumbledore’s fig leaf and let everyone see Dumbledore’s darkest side.
Grete was lamenting that Cornelius Forgely was so lustful that he seemed to have gone crazy.
Voldemort, who was hiding after his resurrection, praised Cornelius Fudge’s performance.
He even told his servant that if Cornelius Fudge could bow to him, he would be willing to let Fudge become one of the core members of the Death Eaters.
The werewolf Fenrir didn’t even get the identity of an ordinary Death Eater until his death.
Cornelius Fudge just followed some articles and was about to obtain the status he dreamed of, and even become the core.
If the werewolf Fenrir was still alive, he would definitely find an opportunity to give Cornelius Fudge a nasty blow out of jealousy.
I wonder if Minister Fudge would be accepted by his master if he turned into werewolf Fudge.
Of course, this is all nonsense, let alone the werewolf Fenrir can’t be resurrected.
Speaking of Fudge alone, if he really saw the resurrected Voldemort, he would definitely bravely fight to the death with the Death Eaters.
…
To be honest, Voldemort’s feelings towards Dumbledore have always been more fear than love.
From the moment he met Dumbledore in the orphanage, he was afraid of this professor who could see through his heart at a glance.
This fear reached its peak after the wardrobe spontaneously ignited in front of him.
It has not dissipated to this day.
Everyone in Hogwarts was fascinated by him and praised him for becoming the best student Hogwarts has ever seen.
Only Dumbledore always kept his blue, sapphire-like eyes wide open, staring at his every move in the shadows, in the sunlight, and in any possible or impossible place.
When did this fear turn into resentment?
Under constant surveillance for seven years?
It was when my application to become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor after graduation was rejected.
Voldemort himself couldn’t tell the difference. He only knew that in this world, as long as Dumbledore was alive for even one day, his heart could not feel safe.
Even after he regained his power, he did not dare to face the hundred-year-old silver-haired old man face to face.
Just like in the first grade, he wanted to use Quirrell to obtain the Philosopher’s Stone, but Dumbledore still seemed to have no plans left.
There are so many levels designed for him.
He knew that it was all to plot against him. After all, if such a powerful person wanted to protect the Magic Stone, would he need so many small tricks?
As long as he carries the magic stone with him, who in the entire magic world would dare to be tempted by the magic stone?
Therefore, even after his resurrection, Voldemort still did not dare to show off in the magical world and acted like no one else.
He was afraid that it was all Dumbledore’s conspiracy.
He did make a resurrection plan with Barty Crouch Jr., the boy who regarded him as his father, and the ugly rat beside him.
However, as to how much confidence he has in this plan, no one knows about it, the only one who knows is himself.
That plan, as long as Dumbledore shook his head, determined not to let Harry Potter become the fourth warrior.
His resurrection plan can be used to announce that he died before he left the army.
However, who would have thought that the child actually did it and regained his power from the resurrection ceremony.
He was surprised, and he wanted to accomplish everything in one battle.
But the guy who survived the catastrophe escaped from his hands again.
He had to wonder if Dumbledore had seen through him again and had him in his grasp.
He even didn’t react enough to let others intercept Harry Potter when he was escaping.
Forget it, let’s wait for the child to come back. He has already figured out how to reward the child who deserves his trust the most.
He remembered that the agreement he made with little Barty Crouch was that once he saw the Death Eater’s mark, it meant that he had been successfully resurrected, and the child should come back to meet him immediately.
However, even Severus Snape, the guy who lurked around Dumbledore as a spy, successfully reported it.
Barty Crouch Jr. was still missing.
He knew that the child was probably captured, held in the hands of the person he feared the most.
He should have gone to the rescue, as long as he took this group of people to Hogwarts to cause trouble.
Threatening the students’ lives, he knew that Dumbledore would probably compromise.
However, he didn’t dare to meet the old man when he didn’t know exactly how many cards Dumbledore had in his hand.
——
Grete never thought that after the relationship between the two fell apart and they had clearly become rivals.
He also received letters from Dumbledore, as well as notes as gifts.
Dumbledore’s letter contained no complaints, no questions, and did not even mention Gretel’s slander against him.
The two of them knew very well that why Rita Skeeter wrote such an article was not because of Gretel’s instructions.
Dawn wants to come out, but it doesn’t want to cause the entire wizarding world to be annihilated so quickly.
Changing the topic to another hot topic is undoubtedly the best way.
As long as it can survive the most difficult start, Dawn can gain a firm foothold in the wizarding world.
At that time, even if Dawn is in danger of being destroyed, it is impossible to execute them all because of the law.
As long as we can retain the concept of Shuguang a little bit, or a little bit.
Then one day, the dawn will still rise from the discarded pile of old paper, grow into a blazing flame, and make a comeback.
The only purpose of Dumbledore’s letter was to persuade Gretel not to join forces with Voldemort.
He talked about Voldemort’s personality, he talked about Voldemort’s development, and he talked about his concerns about Voldemort’s dominance of the magical world.
However, from beginning to end in the entire letter, not a single word mentioned his wariness towards Gretel.
In other words, his only advice to Gretel is that he hopes Gretel can stay away from Voldemort and avoid falling into the abyss of black magic.
Grete didn’t reply, or rather, he didn’t know how to reply.
He was complicated when facing Dumbledore.
Unlike Voldemort, when Voldemort faced Dumbledore, he was fearful, wary, and maybe even a little bit respectful?
But what about him.
Regardless of Dawn, speaking only from his own perspective, Dumbledore was more like a mentor and helpful friend with different ideas to him.
Compared to the radical Gretel, Dumbledore is very conservative, or in other words, he is very old-fashioned. He just wants the wizarding world to go on peacefully, even if the final outcome will be nothingness.
Gretel has obtained many notes from Dumbledore, from his youth to his old age.
In the notes, the young Dumbledore was a young and frivolous young man.
He has outstanding talent since he was a child, and he has the capital to look down on the people around him.
Notes from the Godric’s Hollow period, which he obtained from Grindelwald.
At that time, Dumbledore’s “arrogance” was like a pocket in a bag. With Grindelwald’s company, he gradually regained some of his sharpness.
He knew that there were people with the same talent as him in the world and that he was not that unique.
However, Grindelwald felt that wizards should rule humans, but Dumbledore felt that they should develop independently and cherish peace.
After parting ways, Dumbledore’s notes began to become more reflective.
He felt that power could easily lead people astray and bring destruction. After that, he rarely studied destructive spells.
Later, when he was chasing Grindelwald, he still didn’t give up taking notes.
At this time, his notes were filled with reflections on power, the system, Muggles, and everything he had experienced in the world.
He would often take everything on his own back, and he took all of Grindelwald’s crimes on himself in his notes.
The sins Grindelwald caused became the sins he committed.
In those years, he saw countless deaths. Wizards killed wizards, wizards killed Muggles, Muggles killed Muggles, Muggles killed wizards…
This kind of reflection reached its peak after Grindelwald was defeated.
At that moment, he insisted even more that breaking the law of secrecy meant fighting, and fighting meant death and no peace.
In Godric’s Hollow, Grindelwald did not get his first saint as he wished.
Dumbledore held on to the love and peace in his heart.
This kind of persistence has completely become the only belief after losing his lover and becoming a winner.
For Dumbledore, if you want peace, you must reduce the factors that may bring about war.
The Secrecy Act can very well prevent another Grindelwald from appearing in the wizarding world. If this continues, it will also avoid war with Muggles.
However, he did not expect that a Tom Riddle would appear in the magical world.
The Voldemort whose mind was filled with the pursuit of immortality.
Dumbledore thought that keeping a close eye could prevent this from happening.
But he was wrong, blocking is worse than opening up. Tom Riddle became Voldemort and brought disaster to Britain.
The content of the next note is about Gretel.
Gretel never thought that Dumbledore would take notes about him.
He also didn’t expect that Dumbledore actually knew many things about him.
