After pondering for a moment, Lupin leaned forward slightly with his chin slightly lowered. His expression was very sincere, but his probing gaze did not leave Allen's face. "Allen, since things have come to this, what do you plan to do next? I've also experienced the feeling of being forced to leave the Hogwarts. It's really hard to bear … Now it seems that I'm very lucky to be under your protection. What about yourself? Will you manage the Ministry of Magic? "
Allen laughed. He stared at Lupin for a long while. "Dumbledore thought that he had given me a lot of preferential treatment and tolerance from the beginning. This idealist is still trying to control my will for what he thinks is a greater benefit. Lemus, do you think he'll get his first success this time?"
"Allen! Dumbledore is afraid that you'll go to the extreme and go astray. This time, he completely gave up the opportunity that the pure-bloods proposed to let him control the Ministry of Magic. " Professor Lupin tried to defend Dumbledore. "For Merlin's sake, can't you compromise for once? Until the Mystery Man is still …"
"Then, for the sake of my apprentice, why can't Dumbledore compromise with me for once?" Allen saw that Lupin was a little confused by the words' my apprentice '. He chuckled and continued to explain, "The reason why Dumbledore only wants to drive me out of the Hogwarts and not deal with the Ministry of Magic is that he's afraid that I'll take extreme measures to become the third generation of The Dark Lord. He also hopes that the Ministry of Magic can maintain its dominance over the past few years and let the battle between Harris and the pure-bloods continue. Harris can then control the balance and achieve his ideal situation so that he has the energy to deal with the Mystery Man … Every time Dumbledore has to choose in a similar situation, he would choose the one who looks the most beautiful to him …"
Lupin judged that Allen's attitude towards being in a disadvantageous position was not right. He asked more worriedly, "Allen … What are you going to do?"
I think Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shackle need your comfort, and so do the Weasleys … "Allen raised his glass and raised it to Lupin. He downed the beer in the glass in one gulp." In a sense, Draco's grandfather is right. Dumbledore and I are the same kind of people. He wants to manipulate me to follow his plan, and I want to manipulate him to follow mine. The current situation is that I think I've given him enough time and leniency, but unfortunately, it seems that he's not going in the direction I want him to go … You don't have to keep our conversation a secret. You can tell anyone you want … In fact, I hope you can tell him this. "
Lupin mechanically raised his glass of beer and downed the beer in one gulp. After bidding farewell to Allen, he got up. He was usually so sensitive that he did not even notice Hermione's return. He walked out of the bar in a daze.
Lupin had revealed what Dumbledore had said to Allen in the Order of the Phoenix. It had been a torturous journey. Originally, Lupin had thought that even though Dumbledore did not specify whether the conversation could be leaked, the fact that it was an internal meeting of the Order of the Phoenix meant that the conversation had to be kept confidential. He had made up his mind to tell Allen this information, hoping that he would be mentally prepared and not do anything bad. However, as Allen had reminded him, with Dumbledore's intellect, he did not think that someone close to the Family Harris would reveal this information to Allen. Who in the Order of the Phoenix did not know that he, his fiancée, the Tonks, and the Weasley family had developed a close relationship with the Harris family?
But now, Allen had said that there was no need to hide their conversation and that he could tell anyone. This was completely different from Dumbledore's way of doing things. Lupin realized that there was a more serious problem.
Allen had just admitted that he would not use violence to force others to submit to him. However, Harris was already so weak on the surface. How could Allen 'legally' resist the alliance of the Pureblood Families and the Hogwarts' headmaster, Dumbledore? Lupin thought of the Ministry of Magic's Owen. Harris' speech, the Ministry of Magic's concession and declaration that they would not interfere in this matter, Allen's confidence …
This contrast made Lupin panic as he walked along the path of Hogsmeade. He unconsciously put his left thumb under his lips and moved it back and forth in thought.
Hermione walked back and sat down. She asked, "Allen, why is Professor Lupin here? Did he reveal something to you? "
"Remus told me about Dumbledore's plan. Although it was useless, the fact that he made such a choice shows that I'm not a failure." Allen said half-jokingly.
"Sigh, Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix are also good people. Unfortunately, they are too conservative when it comes to these things. I really didn't want things to turn out this way. But we have a greater goal and we have to do this." Hermione was also a little depressed. "Professor Lupin must not feel good being stuck in the middle. He must feel guilty for telling us the news. He didn't even notice me when he left."
"Oh, that's probably because I told him something too. I guess the crazy man might think I was bluffing. He might do some useless investigation with Kingsley Sharkel and Dumbledore might have doubts and scruples. But because I promised not to break the law, he might speed up his actions." Allen looked at the empty beer glass and hesitated whether he should refill it or not. But he looked at Hermione and said, "But I allowed him to tell the Order of the Phoenix. Consider it my last warning. Ah! There might be a reason for Remus to leave like that. "
Hermione was startled by Alan's words. "Hmm? What? What happened to Professor Lupin? "
Allen pointed at Lupin's empty glass and plate exaggeratedly and said, "He didn't pay the bill when he left. Maybe he wanted us to treat him to a meal to avoid paying the bill. "
"Don't joke around! Lupin's salary is very high now. "Hermione pushed Allen and began to giggle. She then picked up the untouched glass of butter beer and took a sip.
"Hermione! Your glass is someone else's too! "
"Pfft! Ah! "
"Don't puke! I'm just kidding! "
After messing around for a while to make Hermione feel better, they went to the Scholar's Quill Shop in Hogsmeade Village. Hermione chose a few high-quality black and gold pheasant quills as her writing utensils.
After that, Allen and Hermione returned to the Hogwarts because they ate a lot of snacks in Hogsmeade. After sending Hermione back to the common room in Gryffindor, Allen went straight to his office and began to prepare the lesson plan for the next ancient magic class.
Allen, who was responsible for education, was very focused when he got into work. He only stopped when someone knocked on his window. Allen turned his head and saw a strong and handsome owl knocking on the glass with its claws.
Allen recognized that it was the Weasley family's owl, Lancelot. Ever since their family's financial situation improved, they bought this new owl as a messenger. According to Arthur, Lancelot seemed to have a good relationship with Ginevra, who had taken care of him since he was young. Errol, who had poor eyesight due to his old age and often got lost, was no longer sent out to deliver letters and retired to the Burrow.
