In the Thinking Hut, Felix handed a cup of tea.

"It's getting more and more real," Dumbledore said curiously, taking a sip of the amber liquid, "What kind of tea is this? I haven't seen it."

"Ordinary tea, you and I have different tastes." Felix said, sitting opposite Dumbledore, at this time, there were only two of them here.

"How much time do we have?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"Two and a half minutes," Felix rubbed his head, "if you insist, you can reach five minutes at most."

"That's at least a quarter of an hour." Dumbledore nodded slightly and said.

Felix stared at him, rolled his eyes, raised his legs and said slowly: "Two things, one is to comfort four schools, and the other is to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes."

Dumbledore's slender fingers crossed in front of him, "Do you have any opinions?"

"The first thing is easy to solve, mainly depends on your opinion."

"My comment?" Dumbledore said with a smile.

"The contract of the Goblet of Fire cannot be violated. This one can crush them, but this will create a problem. Hogwarts' reputation plummeted, and it will be embarrassing to go abroad."

"This is also a scene that I don't want to see." Dumbledore said decisively, "we need to make some compromises."

"There are two ways, one is to strengthen the opponent, and the other is to weaken yourself. The former is not advisable, after all, each school has different demands." Felix said calmly.

"Then we can only choose the latter. Let's talk about the second thing, this is the key point." Dumbledore said, "Who do you think their target is?"

"It's only possible that it's Harry, the possibility is the greatest." Felix suddenly thought of something: "Sirius mentioned to me during the World Cup that Harry's scars..."

"I know this, Sirius wrote me a letter." Dumbledore brought up the topic and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about Goblet of Fire. I have doubted how Ha used to bypass the Goblet of Fire, but when Miss Granger appeared, I knew it was impossible."

"Is this possible? Bypassing the restrictions? I always thought it was a powerful confusion curse..."

Dumbledore smiled: "It is people who make the rules of the Goblet of Fire, and people will have loopholes. To be honest, I am a little disappointed with people in the secret, and the methods are too obvious."

Felix nodded. This was true. If the rule loophole could be found, it might be even more confusing. But now, everyone knows that the Goblet of Fire has been interfered with.

The difference is that the other four schools believe that Hogwarts is doing something, and even if it is not, they take advantage of it.

"So, is it Voldemort?"

"So, Voldemort," Dumbledore said softly, "but with my knowledge of him, it is impossible for him to do it himself."

"He must have a helper, the one who attacked Harry with the little dwarf Peter, maybe there are more." Felix said along the principal's thoughts: "He once ruled half of the UK, and this should not be difficult."

Speaking of this, his mind turned around. The deadline he left for Lucius Malfoy before Christmas, but now the situation has changed, and he cannot continue to wait. In addition, according to the feedback from the Guardian of Swift, the mysterious antique seller seemed to have a close relationship with Malfoy Manor...

"No, Felix, you don't understand him. Voldemort takes power as the cornerstone of his rule. If he loses power, he loses his opponents' constraints." Dumbledore sighed, "I visited his companions and staff in the orphanage one by one during the summer vacation. The more I understand, the more I understand his nature."

Felix thought for a while: "So he has been hiding in the Albanian forests over the years, and it is also related to this? He did not trust anyone after losing his power. No, it should be said that the group he trusted was locked up in Azkaban... until Petr found him!"

"You're talking about the key." Dumbledore agreed with him.

Felix frowned, "Can you be sure who made the move? Theoretically, the four principals and the professors they brought had opportunities, even the professors in Hogwarts..."

This range is too large.

“Igor Kakarov was a Death Eater,” Dumbledore said calmly, “this is why I stopped Alasto.”

"Can it be him?" Felix didn't believe it. Kakarov's reaction was too real. Even if he wanted to clear his suspicion, there was no need to work so hard. The emotions of the other three schools were aroused by him.

On the contrary, Moody...the past scenes flashed quickly, and some doubts were plausible, and he could not provide any evidence.

"The possibility of Kakarov is not high. He betrayed his former master and gave a list of Death Eaters after the war." Dumbledore said: "I personally think Voldemort will not come to him."

"Where is the Soul-Snatching Curse? Compound Decoction?" Felix said tentatively. He was not talking about this person, but he had to look at Dumbledore's attitude.

"You don't understand what I mean, Felix. If it were Voldemort, he would not show his weak side to his former betrayer. He would rather proclaim his name after his resurrection, so that the traitor would live in fear day and night until he died silently in the dark corner."

Felix nodded. Is this the pride of the Black Devil? He whispered: "As far as I know, Professor Moody claimed that he had been attacked before he joined the company..."

Dumbledore's eyes looked over sharply.

"...I also noticed that he carried a curved wine bottle with him, but I haven't seen him open it once. I'm a little too careful. Wouldn't he be thirsty?"

Dumbledore stared at him, and after a dozen seconds he said calmly: "It's just your guess. Alastor's nerves are more sensitive, and he never touches any suspicious food. This is a recognized thing. I have known him for more than half a century, longer than Voldemort. I know him enough, but I don't find anything doubtful about him."

"We can't attack someone because of speculation."

"It's 'you' won't attack people because of speculation." Felix said deliberately.

Dumbledore fell silent.

"Dumbledore," Felix said, "we should not let potential threats stay with us," his tone was quiet, "at least try."

After a moment of silence

"What are you going to do?"

"The Soul-Snatching Curse, Compound Decoction, and Memory Modification are three ways I can think of, but the third method cannot be verified for the time being without subduing Professor Moody." Felix said, and he also brought others to make himself look less targeted at Moody: "Of course, it also applies to others."

"The premise is that they are not willing to become Voldemort's lackeys." Dumbledore added.

"Yes, if I am willing, my methods will be very limited. The dark wizard who dares to make trouble in front of you will definitely be wary of taking the God-Snap Thoughts," Felix also felt it was difficult. "Can I let me check his memory bit by bit? What's the difference between this and stripping people naked?"

If you make a mistake, it is to create a mortal enemy for yourself.

Why do wizards value their own memories? Because their worries make sense. Wizards really have the means to modify, forge and erase other people's memories.

"I'll do this, Felix, I'll talk to Alastor." Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "I'll verify both methods of soul-taking curse, compound decoction, but I don't agree with the memory. That's the greatest humiliation to Alastor."

"But……"

“I do not agree to any excessive behavior without more obvious evidence,” he said without doubt. “Other than that, if he has no problem, I intend to let him pay attention to the suspicious people around him…”

Felix shrugged, "I'm waiting for your answer." He snapped his fingers, dispersed the magic, and the two returned to reality.

In the room, Mrs. Maxim was staring at herself. She looked angry, her chest in black satin was undulating violently, as if she would hand her fist at him in the next second, but she might have thought that he had the identity of a school director, so she could barely hold it back.

She was silent and said, Kakarov finally recovered from Moody's shadow and said impatiently: "What kind of small problem is it? How to solve it? You have been staring at each other for half a minute and don't talk. Don't think you can fool it like this. If there is no good idea, let go of Demstrong's shackles and allow them to use any means."

"President Kakarov," Felix said, looking at him, "there is not as great as your students' limits."

"What did you say?" Kakarov stared at him.

"I have a question, is Demstrong a school for training dark wizards?"

"This is a slander! Mr. Crouch, did you hear it?"

"Listen to me," Felix stared at him. "Dermstrong is the most open-minded in his attitude towards black magic. This sentence is true. But it does not mean that Dermstrong is a school that specializes in teaching black magic. Black magic only accounts for a very small part of the teaching content. At least I can't see much of the shadow of black magic from your textbooks..."

"Black magic is the most widely used in the duel field, but don't you teach the disarming curse? The coma curse? The iron armor curse?"

Felix said slowly: "Black magic is just an effective supplement, but it will never become mainstream in a publicly enrolled magic school. Even if you like black magic, you should keep this in mind!"

Kakarov was so speechless that he couldn't speak.

If he admits that Demstrong uses black magic as the main teaching content, the reputation of this school will be completely terrible tomorrow. As the principal, he must stand up and correct the name of himself and the school.

Kakarov said with a red face: "Black magic is only part of Demstrong. We have the ability to solve its side effects. There are specialized professors in the school who will evaluate students' learning progress and selectively teach students the black magic."

That's it, but in private, many professors turn a blind eye and will not pursue it too much. This is also the reason why Demstrong has a reputation for advocating black magic.

The reason why Dermstrong did not become a concentration camp for the black wizards is indeed related to the school's system. They did follow certain review standards. The advantage of this practice is that even if students practice black magic privately, they do not dare to use it publicly and do not have many times to do so, and the impact on their minds is not serious.

"How to solve the problem of the extra group of warriors in Hogwarts?" Kakarov turned the topic stiffly.

"It's very simple. Since you all see it as Hogwarts' advantage, then turn it into a disadvantage," Felix glanced lightly at the Warriors and the principal present. They didn't care whether there were any dark wizards who secretly coveted Harry or Demstrong's teaching issues. They just wanted to know how to reasonably weaken one side before the game.
