In the photo, Elaine was about eight or nine years old. She was wearing a dark blue Muggle Primary School uniform, and her cute little face was chubby like a porcelain doll. However, her face was slightly pale, as if it was because she had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time.
She smiled at the camera, revealing two sharp canines, looking very comical.
"This is proof that the girl in the photo is a core member of the vampire race," Foggy said.
"She does look like her, but just from a photo …"
"It's not just a photo. We also found traces of Sirius Blake in Norway. He's in contact with the vampires and the Death Eaters, and one of the Death Eaters who escaped this time was his cousin," Foggy continued arrogantly, not giving anyone a chance to explain. "It's already clear that Blake worked with the vampires to plan the Death Eaters' prison break, and now that this girl is here, I have reason to suspect that other people are also involved."
The other people he was referring to were obviously Dumbledore, because he was the one who had handled all of Elaine's admission procedures.
To put it simply, he was accusing Dumbledore of plotting to overthrow the Ministry of Magic and orchestrating the Death Eaters' prison break.
"Great reasoning. I never thought you would have such a strong imagination. If I'm not mistaken, this is a story that Mr. Malfoy came up with." Dumbledore said calmly, "I'm not sure if I can understand it that way, but what you're saying now is that you're accusing me of saving those Death Eaters and plotting the Azkaban escape?"
"No, no, of course not. I never thought of it that way."
Under Dumbledore's blue gaze, Foggy's face turned red again. He seemed to be frightened!
It was unknown whether it was because of Dumbledore's deterrence or because of the terrifying conclusion he had just come to.
In any case, he kept shaking his head and took a few steps back, his momentum completely gone.
"Mr. Minister, we can perform a physical examination on this girl to determine if she is a vampire!" Percy hurriedly stopped recording and walked over to support Foggy. "Professor Dumbledore might have been deceived. Maybe Blake and the vampires deceived him together."
"You're right, Weasley!" Foggy nodded vigorously. "As long as we can confirm this girl's identity …"
"Don't come any nearer, Percy!" warned Elwyn, noticing Percy's eagerness.
Elaine no longer hid behind Elwyn. She had already taken out her wand and was glaring at Percy fiercely …
Harry and Hermione also approached Elwyn and took out their wands.
Professor Meg pursed her lips even tighter. She and Kingsley, who was not far away, looked at each other anxiously.
"Looks like the cat's out of the bag, isn't it?!" Dumbledore said cheerfully, watching the scene in front of him with great interest.
"Dumbledore, what do you mean?"
"I mean that you seem to have discovered Miss Slytherin's identity!" said Dumbledore.
"What?!" Foggy was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in ecstasy, "You mean, she really is a vampire!"
"I think so. I need to introduce her to you. She is Elaine Slytherin, a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of the Hogwarts!" Dumbledore said, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The portraits on the wall burst into another round of discussion, especially the headmasters who had been there for a long time, who were very excited.
"She, she is a descendant of Slytherin. No, I mean, she really is a vampire!"
"That's right!" Dumbledore nodded.
Elwyn pulled Elaine back, motioning for her not to act rashly and to wait for Dumbledore to finish.
"Heavens, since she's a vampire, and since she's here, it means that you really were the one who planned the Death Eaters' prison break." Foggy looked at Elaine, then hurriedly turned to look at Dumbledore. His chest was heaving and his breathing was getting faster.
"I don't think so, but it doesn't matter, does it?" Dumbledore said.
"It really doesn't matter!" Foggy shouted agitatedly, waving his fist vigorously. "These things are enough to explain everything. I never thought, Dumbledore, that you were really in contact with vampires. They are all wanted criminals by the Ministry of Magic, which proves that you are indeed plotting against me and the overthrow of the Ministry of Magic."
"Cornelius, to be honest, your thoughts are really ridiculous. I've only opposed one person from the beginning, and it's definitely not you!" Dumbledore said. "If necessary, I can reiterate my position over and over again!"
"Enough, Dumbledore!" Foggy shouted excitedly. "Put away your tricks, I don't want to listen to your strange theories anymore. I've already seen through everything. Lucius is right, I'll come tonight …"
"Oh, you want to come and arrest me?" Dumbledore said gently.
"That's right!" Foggy said, now trembling with joy. "Dumbledore, I'm going to arrest you. You will now be escorted to the Ministry of Magic, where you will be formally charged and then sent to Azkaban to await trial. Life imprisonment awaits you."
"Hmm, that does sound good!" Dumbledore said softly.
"Dumbledore, if you have anything to say, you can say it in Azkaban. You can explain to Weisengamo why you took in a vampire in the Hogwarts, and you can explain to the Soul Catcher how you helped those Death Eaters break out of prison. Weasley, have you written all this down? "
"Yes, sir, I think so, sir!" Percy said eagerly, his nose splashed with ink as he took notes so quickly.
"Yes, but I think we may have run into a small difficulty before that," Dumbledore said.
"Difficulty?" Foggy said, his voice still trembling with joy. "I don't see any difficulty, Dumbledore!"
"But …" Dumbledore said apologetically. "I'm afraid I saw it."
"Oh, really?"
"Hmm, let's not talk about whether your ridiculous accusations are valid. Before this, you seem to have an illusion that I will, what's that saying? Wait for death. I'm afraid I won't wait for death at all, Cornelius. Of course, I can escape. I don't want to be sent to Azkaban at all, nor do I want to be tried by Weisengamo. I'm not guilty to begin with, but it would be a waste of time. Frankly, I think I have a lot of things to do, and I'd much rather do them than waste time here with you. "
Foggy stared at Dumbledore, his expression stupefied, as if he had suddenly been struck dumb.
He could not believe that such a thing had happened. He let out a soft choking sound and turned his head to look at Percy, who was also dumbfounded and unable to react. He also looked at Kingsley and the man with the short gray hair standing by the door. The Aurod Hercules!
