What the Ministry of Magic was facing was not victory, but the beginning of a complete defeat.
Foggy's idea was destined to be impossible. He would not be able to find Umrich, who was locked in the Giant's Cave.
And he would soon discover that after chasing away Dumbledore, the Hogwarts would become a mess.
The unstable Hogwarts would become a big problem for the Ministry of Magic. Foggy would soon discover this.
Looking at the secretly smug Foggy, Professor Meg said nothing and led Harry to the door.
After the door closed behind them, Harry heard Phineas Nigellus' voice.
"You know, Minister, I don't agree with Dumbledore on many issues, but you can't deny that he has a personality!"
On the other side, Elwyn only saw a flash of golden flames before them, and they had arrived at Grimmauld Square …
It was not a door key, nor was it a phantom manifestation. This time, he was certain that the phoenix had the power to cross space.
With the help of Fawkes, they had crossed space from the Hogwarts to 12 Grimmauld Square.
This kind of spatial crossing was a unique magical power. In terms of feeling, it was much better than the phantom manifestation and the door key.
Not to mention, this kind of magic was not within the defense system of the Hogwarts.
This meant that as long as there was Fawkes, Dumbledore could come and go freely anywhere, ignoring the defensive magic.
From this point of view, the phoenix was really a practical pet, much better than a cat. Other than acting cute and licking around, it could do nothing else.
"Unbelievable, we actually left the Hogwarts just like that!" Hermione said, panting as she looked around.
They were standing in the dim kitchen of the Blake family's ancestral home. In front of them was a long wooden dining table with scattered chairs.
Not far away, the fire in the fireplace had gone out!
There was only a bit of light in the house, and it was quiet without a sound. They didn't know where Sirius and Creech were.
Fox the phoenix let out a cry and flew to the top of the serpentine chandelier. The chandelier swayed and made creaking sounds.
"Professor, what should we do now?"
"Well, where's my uncle?" Elaine asked. "You just said that his injuries have healed!"
"Yes, but I need to bring him back!" Dumbledore said, "This house is safe. Stay here and don't go anywhere. Sirius will be back soon, and Foggy and the Ministry of Magic will be searching for us frantically."
There was no doubt about it. Within a few hours, they would become wanted criminals by the Ministry of Magic.
Tomorrow morning, people would find out from the newspapers that Dumbledore had colluded with the vampires to plan the escape of the Death Eaters and had defected from the Hogwarts.
He had also taken three students with him. Elaine would definitely be wanted. Elwyn and Hermione might also become wanted criminals.
For most people, this was probably the most unbelievable thing, as if the sun had risen from the west.
As the greatest light Wizard in the world and also the most powerful Wizard, Dumbledore had suddenly become an evil Dark Wizard, contacting the vampires and rescuing the Death Eaters. Apart from idiots like Foggy, no one in the world of magic would believe it, and no one would be happy to see through Dumbledore's true colors.
On the contrary, this would be the beginning of chaos, bringing panic to the Ministry of Magic.
Anyone with normal intelligence would know that the truth was definitely not like this.
In the past few decades, if Dumbledore wanted to rule the world of magic, he had too many opportunities. There was no need for him to wait until now, and no one could stop him.
This news was as unbelievable as the resurrection of the Lord Voldemort, and even more difficult to accept.
Foggy would soon discover that what awaited him was not victory, but endless trouble.
In short, on the surface, the current situation was terrible.
But apart from forcing Dumbledore away from the Hogwarts, they had not actually suffered any losses.
Instead, they could retreat in order to advance, numb the Lord Voldemort, and then carry out the next step of their plan.
Again, Foggy would soon regret it.
Without Dumbledore, the Hogwarts, and even the entire world of magic, would become his trouble.
"Professor, are we staying here?"
"Yes, at least for now!" Dumbledore nodded.
He waved the wand in his hand, and the fire in the fireplace sprang up.
The flames dispelled the darkness and cold, and they no longer had to sit in the dark kitchen with pale faces.
"I still have a few things to deal with, and some things to prepare. When Keresis returns, we'll set off for Norway. Hmm, the situation there needs to be taken care of as well. From this point of view, Foggy has helped us. Otherwise, I'd have to think of other ways to leave the Hogwarts."
Leaving the Hogwarts was not only Elwyn's need, but also Dumbledore's recent plans.
Of course, as the cause of this matter, Elaine did not feel any guilt.
Although the Hogwarts were interesting, she did not feel much of a sense of belonging.
From the moment Umrich had offended her, she had wanted to teach her a lesson, and it did not matter even if she had to leave the Hogwarts.
The only one who was somewhat fearful and innocent was Hermione. She had gotten involved purely because of Elwyn, and did not need to risk her life in Norway.
Hermione was willing to give up on being together for Elwyn, and that was what she had done.
Elwyn held Hermione's left hand tightly and said nothing. Everything was said without words.
Dumbledore did not ask about Umrich, as if he already knew everything.
He briefly explained the recent plans and told Elwyn and Hermione not to worry about their parents.
He thought that Foggy would think that they would return home or monitor their home. He would send someone to deal with this matter.
"Professor, what about what I said before?" After Dumbledore finished speaking, Elwyn asked, "About the plan to lure the Lord Voldemort to the Ministry of Magic?"
"Your plan is good, but you have to understand that this is a competition of endurance. After splitting his soul so many times, I don't think he will have the patience to persist for too long," Dumbledore said. Dumbledore said, "Time will drive him crazy bit by bit, and as time passes, he will gradually lose his mind, and finally go crazy …"
In that case, Dumbledore did not agree with Elwyn's suggestion. Perhaps he thought that his plan was too risky.
After all, there was a problem. They needed to use Harry as bait, which Dumbledore did not want to do for the time being.
"Harry can't learn Cerebral Occlusion, Professor!" Elwyn said, staring into Dumbledore's eyes. "His scars fundamentally prevent him from sealing his brain to the Lord Voldemort. This is not a mental connection like Telepathy, but on the soul. Cerebral Occlusion cannot prevent Harry from further exposing his thoughts to the Lord Voldemort and understanding what he is thinking. Moreover, Snape is teaching him. We have to take the initiative and not expect Harry to defend himself."
